If you say so. But I've been called "apostate" and "heretic" by all sorts of nitwits who can't nail down my supposed apostasy to any specific fault. Your accusation is as vacuous as theirs, and I care just as much.

"Paul says 'was'" is so vague an assertion it lacks meaning. Jesus was taken into heaven bodily--that is, still in the flesh that he inherited from his mother. When he ascended, an angel told him he would return in the same manner (Acts 1:11); is the body that he will return in the same body he...

Jesus, whom Christians worship, is physically descended from Judah. I think this isn't so hard. Unless you're pretending not to understand as a pretext to blabber about Joooooooooooooooooooooooooos again.

Owner of the Babylon Bee.

Sounds more like a violation of international law.

I think you're just making excuses to avoid being accountable to others.

That isn't their problem.

The places where it says to obey your elders (Heb. 13:17) or not to forsake assembling with other Christians (Heb. 10:25). Maybe "membership" doesn't always look like the contemporary model, but in order for anyone to obey those commands, there necessarily must be some sort of agreement where...

Authority is biblical.

I'm all for big-name preachers signing my Bible. If they can prove authorship.

Has someone politely informed Mr. Trump that his foolish temper tantrums don't have to be posted to Truth Social? The Gordie Howe bridge is jointly owned by Canada and Michigan, though the government of Canada provided all the funding. The US didn't pay for it, so why should it have used US...

You (Matt. 15:15), then yourself and witnesses (v. 16), then the church (v. 17). If an issue isn't worth pursuing, at some level, it can be decided to let it drop, no?

Well, Jesus described discipline as starting at the personal level, and then to the elders, and then to the congregation at large (Matt. 18:15-20). If the matter is resolved, there's no need to escalate it. I know my church takes discipline seriously, and while I know of a few cases where...

That the charage against Zima was "gossip" raised a red flag for me. It's a slippery term. How many times on this forum was the word "gossip" thrown around during discussions of the various Hyles- and FBCH-related scandals, most of which by then were a matter of public record? I don't regard it...

My church does say so in the by-laws, as I said earlier.

I'm not the one who keeps dropping em into threads.

Jooooooooooooooooooooooooos!

Joooooooooooooooooooooooos!

The membership covenant at my church stipulates that members agree to abide by the by-laws, which include church disciplinary procedures. A resignation clearly intended to avoid discipline would be an effort to get around the by-laws. Basically, if you agreed to submit to those processes, you...

Kid Rock played the same Super Bowl halftime show as the infamous Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction," in 2004. He didn't impress me then, and he still doesn't impress me now. I grew up in the sticks a quarter mile from a trailer park, but I haven't spent enough time living in one, by which I...
