    Joooooooos

    Yes, hatred of the Jews is irrational. Anti-Semitism, and anti-Semites, should be repudiated by all of us. "On the one side, a generation of evangelical Christians have been taught that the Bible requires them to give unqualified support for the nation of Israel, politically, financially, and...

    Is the TR Equal to the Autographs?

    There are significant differences between the AV1611 and the 1769 revision - more than just spelling changes or typographical errors. So which of these two is the infallible version? They cannot both be infallible. Leviticus 26:23, 1611: "And if ye will not be reformed by these things." 1769...

    "He Gets Us"

    "He Gets Us" update - supposedly the purpose of this glitzy, expensive advertising campaign was to get inquirers back into church and refer them to some kind of church, but they are not doing that any more - have not been doing that since 2024. The Christianity Today interviewer asked some...

    Bill Gothard

    For those who missed the article in the April 5, 1982 Los Angeles Times exposing Gothard's shenanigans, here it is. Most Gothard supporters never saw the article - the Internet did not exist back then. https://www.recoveringgrace.org/media/LATimesArticle.pdf

    As Christians, we are obligated to be Zionist and "stand with Israel," lest we be accused of hating the "Jooooos." However, it appears that most American Jews do not feel such an obligation - only 37% of them identify as Zionist, and for many of that subset of Jews, this does not equate with an...

    Shocking Interview with Son of Steve Anderson

    This is where Stevo appeared to call for the deaths of his children - assuming that "destroy" means to kill them: "Controversial Faithful Word Baptist Church pastor Steven Anderson labeled his four eldest children 'evil' and said if they don’t repent, God needs to 'destroy' them during a Sunday...

    Is the TR Equal to the Autographs?

    Where is your Bible, Mr. Hard Knocks? According to your own reasoning, if you don't have the AV1611 originals, then you don't have a Bible.

    Is the TR Equal to the Autographs?

    Do we have the "originals" for the AV1611? Where are they? Without the AV1611 original manuscripts, you have nothing with which to verify your claim.

    Is the TR Equal to the Autographs?

    Mr. Knox, please explain why the "exact inerrant, complete copy of an inerrant translation in the 1769 edition of the AV1611" has different wording than the AV1611. Show your work.

    Voting Alignment: Christian or Policy

    Who said this? "There is becoming a great influence, almost an insidious penetration of our own minds that the only thing this country is engaged in is weaponry and missiles. And, I'll tell you that we can't afford to do that." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower, January, 1961. End of story.

    Voting Alignment: Christian or Policy

    As I read Romans 13:1-6, it appears to be teaching that we should obey the law, pay our taxes, not resist secular government, and avoid any appearance of attempting to overthrow the government. Sounds like good advice for the January 6 insurrectionists and Christian tax resisters like Kent...

    Voting Alignment: Christian or Policy

    Here is what Trump said about his policy concerning war in a speech in Mosinee, Wisconsin in September, 2024: "I will expel warmongers. We have these people, they want to go to war all the time. You know why? Missiles are $2 million apiece. That’s why. They love to drop missiles all over the...

    Voting Alignment: Christian or Policy

    Looks like we (Republicans and conservatives) may lose the Senate due to the decision to dump Cornyn and nominate Paxton. Back in 1998 when Bill Clinton was impeached, many of us said that "character matters." Maybe Texas Republican primary voters should have adhered to that principle in 2026...

    Yes, one Christian can be a stumbling block for another. "Judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. . . . Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died." - Romans 14:13, 15. "Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the...

    Tamar was living according to the Bill Gothard rules. Women are supposed to live with Mom and Dad until marriage, under the protection of their "umbrella of authority." Tamar was living with her Dad, King David. She was under David's "chain of command" and obeying David's specific order to go...

    Bill Gothard

    Comment from the Sharper Iron forum: JD Miller Mon, 06/29/26 5:39 pm "I didn't know he was still alive. I do know a lot of lives have been destroyed and churches have been disrupted by his teachings. It is sad how many families who embraced his teachings have had sexual abuse in them. (It is...
