The simple truth is, the Bible indicates the church has authority to bind and loose. If a person doesn’t want to adhere to the model for church discipline then it is fair to infer that other churches should be warned of the reluctance of said person to accept church authority. As you and...

How do you know they’re unsaved? They never let the process take its Biblical course to make any credible determination of facts about their alleged sin, or eternal state.

That’s really sad.

Haha, thanks for the flashbacks, now tell me about your 8-track collection 😜 😁🥳

That’s quite the talent for misappropriation of Scripture you’ve acquired there. 😉

My guess is there was mutual relief in the separation. 😁

Will he continue the bloodless lie started by Mac? 😁

Wow, you have been married almost longer than many of us on the forum have been alive, lol. Praise the Lord for your many decades of wedded bliss!

I think that you are making an overstatement. The fact that people are willing to tell you what their ink means gives an indicator about their philosophy of life, which goes to my point about you can get meaning from certain cultural practices within a contextual timeframe. To that point and...

Social media has gone off the rails. It’s hard to believe this world could last much longer.

There are different levels of errors, some of which rise to heresy. The (Catholic) one that you mentioned is heresy, meaning that it will be damnable for the soul. Teaching somebody that the Bible says that they must speak in tongues to reach the next level sanctification, or if they’re a woman...

Sure. You don’t think tattoos (or music, art, theater, etc) represents some moral expression of the culture?

I get what you’re saying, and mostly agree. The problem in all of that analysis is that when such fringe political groups become more acceptable by the center of their respective party, that says something about the degree to which the population increasingly supporting them is being bamboozled...

Well, it ain’t like I go around seeking out abuse victims and asking them if they have forgiven their abuser. We’re on a forum discussing doctrinal issues. The whole point of discussing the Bible is to glorify God by understanding how to surrender our lives to his Lordship and areas that we are...

It’s not “my church“, it’s the Lord’s church.😉. But to answer your question with a little more seriousness, I am the assistant pastor and don’t typically set such “standards”. I’m not sure about all of the other churches policies on women’s expectations when they teach children, but I know that...

I agree with you that the consequences of consensual immorality, and forcible rape are different things and calls for different responses legally, and morally. I am confident that Joe feels the same. Having said that, your desire to hold a repentant sinner in perpetual contempt is the issue...
