Does 2 Peter 2:1 teach that Christ, by His death on the cross, atoned for the sins of unsaved false prophets who bring in destructive heresies? Not necessarily. "Wayne Grudem makes a good case that Peter is referring to the Exodus in 2:1. For Peter compares the false prophets that would arise...

"Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. . . . So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. . . . And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." - Galatians 3:7, 9, 29 "For in Christ Jesus...

This "Enoch" stuff does not belong in any church service, except maybe the Church of Satan. I vote for Charles Wesley.

So that's why it says "I remember" on Quebec automotive license plates. These folks have long memories. I had no idea that Quebecers were still riled over the execution of Louis Riel - that was in 1885! As far as I'm concerned, Riel had it coming, for the execution of Thomas Scott. Riel...

So far, the name change to Lake America is going over like a lead balloon in America - I don't see what Trump gains by this childish stuff: City in Republican stronghold by 'Lake America' decries Trump name change...

Meanwhile, Canadian voters are reacting negatively to Trump's war on Canada, the only way they seem to know how, by voting for the most liberal candidates. Support for the Conservative Party in one Quebec riding dropped from 34% to 13%...

Trump's war on Canada is not going over well with Americans - 14% support the renaming of Lake Ontario, 63% opposed. Radioactive levels of TDS out there. Trump’s lake name change immediately blows up in his face...

Yeah, we were told that we were not fighting Iran on behalf of Israel, the war had nothing to do with Israel, we had no choice to go to war purely on American interests. But now Bibi is openly bragging that he is the one who is responsible for getting us into the war. No surprise, we knew that...

The lady in the video said, "Then I read one actual history book." I hope she read at least one of these books, by Israeli Jewish historians. Ilan Pappe, "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" Benny Morris, "The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem 1947-1949" Gershom Gorenberg, "Accidental...

Lake Burger - no way. The Governor of Wisconsin has already renamed Lake Michigan "Lake Wisconsin." (Two can play the rename game). At this time of national and international crises, it is comforting to know that our Fearless Leader is focusing like a laser beam on the really important stuff...

Just what we needed, yet another disgruntled grouch on FFF. Welcome, Terry, and join the crowd.

Noah's Ark sightings, like sightings of Bigfoot, Elvis and the Loch Ness monster, are notoriously difficult to pin down and document. Did you hear the one about the explorers who found Noah's Ark, but they couldn't get too close? It's now being used as a Yeti longhouse. :cool:

Noah's Ark Scan, or Scam? It's too soon to tell. Let's wait until the evidence is in. "Even Young Earth creationists at the Christian apologetics ministry Answers in Genesis said they 'will withhold judgment until further study.' 'Over the decades, we have learned to be cautious about such...

"The failures of the Chicago Public Schools live in infamy: Abysmally low test scores, delivering an almost negative return on investment for the exorbitant price of $40,000 per pupil, with more to come amidst even more demands from the state of Illinois for funding. And that’s going to be paid...

This is a good discussion. I don't pretend to have all the answers with regard to how to handle church members who flee the coop instead of hanging around for the disciplinary process. It appears that the Apostle Paul did more than just let Hymenaeus and Alexander quietly go, in 1 Timothy 1:20...
