Civil Religious Discussions : all things Christianity II

[foszoe]

Have you read the course? The After Party I haven't yet - just wondering if you have anything else than an X video.

I really don't know anything about Curtis Chang. But honestly he sounds... crazy.

I knew he was a false teacher as soon as I saw his handle....but I restrained myself

I found this article from Robert Jeffress, written in 2022:
Would Jesus vote? Here's what Christians should consider this election season

Christians aren’t called to save America. We’re called to save Americans from God’s judgment by sharing the good news of Christ’s forgiveness.

So, yes, Christians have both the right and responsibility to vote in this election. But remember why you’re doing it and what ultimate purpose voting serves.

What America needs most is not a politician or a party. We need a genuine spiritual revival that only God can bring.

Either I had him wrong, or he's changing his tune. Nevertheless, I agree.

So...I'm leaving the Lutherans. Not because I want to but because my wife and kids need to go somewhere else. :-(

Well, that was a good two years of being saved.

I'm just going to hell, but we will probably attend a Baptist or Reformed Church.

I am sorry you are making tough choices. God alone judges. Ever go to see the Badlands Sabres play?

No. I'm on the other side of the state. I only made it West River once. Hope to go soon and see Rushmore.

I'm studying Leviticus, and I'm now on chapter 11. Kosher/dietary laws. What you can, or cannot eat etc.

If you have some insight on this chapter please share it. I'm finding this interesting.

I've meet Christians who say this should still be observed, and some say it doesn't.

Heck, half of the NT is about circumcision of the heart. Galatians, Corinthians, Acts. It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles it, but what comes out.

Now, detractors will say that therefore all Levitical law is abandoned, but there is a difference between ceremonial laws (sacrifices, dietary restrictions, circumcision) and enforcement of natural/moral laws. If you read Romans 1, you see a lot of Levitical laws being echoed there, because it wasn't new in Leviticus, but rather just simply being codified (sorta how the right to bear arms and defend yourself isn't given by government, but rather God).

That may be your best post ever.

The last 15 min talk about Leviticus 11. In other words, starting at about the 34th or the 35th minute.

Acts 10:9-16: My life verses.

I figured it was Numbers 22:30 (KJV)

Only 15 minutes???!!! And they call themselves Orthodox?!?!

 

[historian]

Yeah. I can sit through sermon after sermon about a "personal relationship with God" easier than my wife can deal with the real presence in communion.

Just sucks to go back to Jesus Hates Me This I Know.

 

[mike45]

For years now I have been wondering about Melchizedek.
I think He is one of the great mysteries.
Anyone have the same problem?

The only verses are, (Genesis 14:18–20; Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5:6–11; 6:20—7:28)

Compromise. Become Orthodox and go once a year because it's just too far to get to Church.

Well I had to get it down to a Protestants attention span. The other 40 min and 30 hours of lecture just to start that lecture would be too much!

I want to know about that and I also want to know about the saints who rose from the dead at Jesus' crucifiction and walked into town.

Matthew 27:51-53​

King James Version​

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
