I was recently reading a preacher's defense for NOT preaching verse-by-verse. I am curious why we put such much into his strident defense and even a bit of attack on those that do preach verse-by-verse. http://www.graceky.org/about/beliefs/why-does-brad-preach-the-way-he-does/ Many times the emphasi...

Agreed, it was rude to point out that whole Germany and EU buying billions of energy from Russia thing. But everyone knows Trump is bombastic and has a huge ego. So far there is usually much more talk than actions. Remember when the fear was that Trump's manner was going to cause North Korea fire so...

yes, the extreme circumstances don't really matter to me (or really anyone...which is why they are extreme). So hit by train on way to get baptized or thief on the cross, God can do as He chooses...all I can do is the best I can on my end of the deal and leave the other end of it to God.

Yes, the 1 Pet 3:18ff is that part where Peter talks about obedience (or lack thereof) and that the water of the flood symbolizes the baptism that now saves. Somehow baptism is always popping up somehow in the NT discussions of salvation. So I just go with it, it is all part of it somehow, so just g...

And yet Saul/Paul was told to arise and wash away his sins, he needed baptism. And yet, the 12 at Ephesus were disciples and but had not been baptized, and so they were And yet, the Ethiopian read the scriptures and had the Gospel news explained and he wanted to be baptized (if he believed). And Cor...

[ all I can do is trust and obey and follow the great commandment given by Jesus. And baptism was ubiquitous among followers of Christ. And that is what Paul asked of the 12 at Ephesus...what baptism did ye receive? So Baptism has something to do with it...so why not just do it and just Trust that ...

I believe God does the saving instead of a person choosing to be baptized or have faith. Jesus claimed the power to forgive sins and the salvation of the thief on the cross is His business. Same for baptism, the instruction makes no logical sense but then that is whittling on God's end of the stick...

I often vacation in Canada even though I find many of their policies and politicians to be reprehensible. I also am often on the phone with colleagues in Canada and we seem to be able to work together just fine and we don't discuss our politics. But then I am not generally one for the political ange...

Import/Export trade balance by country is easy enough to find and verify. https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c1220.html USA has a negative trade balance with Canada, but it is not huge. And of course there are different ways to measure, like services instead of actual import/exported produ...

Still looking for the list? And how was it verified that none of it happened, is happening, or will happen? I did see in USA today about how Pride parades have become St Patrick Day type events and too many non-homosexuals are showing up just to have fun and where funny and outrageous costumes. The ...
