    Iran, the next war.

    Trump says any decision to end his war with Iran will be "mutual" with Netanyahu: https://nypost.com/2026/03/09/us-news/trump-says-he-and-israels-netanyahu-will-make-mutual-decision-on-ending-iran-war/ It sounds like we may have to keep fighting until Bibi gives us permission to declare...

    Trump targets Iran's Supreme Leader in first wave of joint attack with Israel as Tehran strikes back at US bases across region and at Tel Aviv

    Okay, so Israel is a clock that has been ticking for at least 120 years now. Seems to me that it could keep on ticking and tocking for another 120 years, or more. At least since the time that General Allenby conquered Jerusalem in 1917, the prophecy gurus have been pointing to that, and...

    Alien Baptism?

    John Calvin (Presbyterian) on baptism: "The very word 'baptize,' however, signifies to immerse; and it is certain that immersion was the practice of the ancient Church." - "Institutes," vol. III, p. 343. M.B. Riddle (Presbyterian): "That the custom of baptism by immersion is alluded to is...

    Trump targets Iran's Supreme Leader in first wave of joint attack with Israel as Tehran strikes back at US bases across region and at Tel Aviv

    Greg Laurie in the video posted in frame #324 trots out the common statement that "Israel is God's time clock." Can anyone explain what does that mean? Pastor Charles Taze Russell, founder of the movement now known as the "Jehovah's Witlesses," was preaching that "Israel is God's time clock"...

    Iran, the next war.

    J Street issues a statement opposing Trump's war with Iran. Why, these J Street folks must really hate the Jews. Oops, wait a minute - they ARE Jews! "J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami issued the following statement: 'We are appalled by President Trump’s reckless decision to launch a war of...

    Noem fired: it’s about time.

    Paula White just went to the White House to pray for victory in Iran. That should do it. :ROFLMAO:

    Alien Baptism?

    Based on the above discussion, it is extremely questionable for baptisms to be practiced at any camp or gathering of believers outside of church authority. It is not fair to administer to converts, at such a venue, a "baptism" that would be accepted for membership by few if any churches. Of...

    "Pastor Is Always Right, Even If Wrong" - Abusive Spiritual Authority Hall of Shame

    All Christians are the Lord's anointed: "Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." - 2 Corinthians 1:20-21. "But ye have an unction from the Holy One. . . . the anointing which...

    Noem fired: it’s about time.

    Paula White seems just a bit kooky to be serving as a high-level Presidential advisor: "President Donald Trump’s White House faith adviser Paula White is urging her followers to send her ministry $1,000 before Easter in order to 'release 7 specific supernatural blessings' that include God...

    Alien Baptism?

    Renegade asks some excellent questions - I cannot respond to all of them right now, but I totally agree that "being that baptism is an ordinance of the church, I believe that it is 'The Church' (collectively) who has the authority to baptize and not individuals based on whatever ecclesiastical...

    What do we think about Tim Keller?

    There is a wide spectrum of policies among Baptists, with regard to what baptisms should or should not be accepted. "Alien immersion" is the technical term for baptisms that are not regarded as acceptable, but few Baptists talk about it any more. We may regard the policies of some churches as...

    Trump targets Iran's Supreme Leader in first wave of joint attack with Israel as Tehran strikes back at US bases across region and at Tel Aviv

    This prophecy video is pure speculation, with no Scriptural basis. Notice how many times Hibbs says, "What if?" He says, "Is it possible?" "If I had to guess." "Let's wait and see, we don't want to be goofy." Sorry, but Hibbs is being really goofy in this interview. Hibbs hits on the usual...

    "Pastor Is Always Right, Even If Wrong" - Abusive Spiritual Authority Hall of Shame

    Megachurch leader horse-whips parishioner in the crotch. This is a genuine news story, not a satire - he wasn't just horsing around. https://churchleaders.com/news/2214348-crossroads-church-brian-tome-suspended-horse-whip.html

    Iran, the next war.

    As some understand it, the war in Iran is finally going to fulfill the ancient prophecies, at last. I don't agree with that as a good reason to go to war, but I guess some people do: "For some U.S. military commanders, the emerging war in Iran is part of a biblical plan to bring about the end...

    What do we think about Tim Keller?

    There are many conservative Baptist churches with a policy that they will not accept baptisms from any group that they do not recognize as a true church. To be specific, if they would not grant one of their own members a "letter of good and regular standing" to dismiss that member to join...

    What do we think about Tim Keller?

    Many Baptist churches would not accept Presbyterian baptisms for various reasons, including that they are mostly administered by sprinkling. That would be my position. Some groups, like the Free Presbyterians (Ian Paisley) baptize by immersion as well as sprinkling, but such a church would not...

    What do we think about Tim Keller?

    Yes, I meant to document it, but my desktop temporarily went on strike. Here is the documentation: https://www.pcahistory.org/pca/studies/2-079.html "In its historical survey, the Committee found that with one exception the General Assemblies of American Presbyterian churches where making a...

    What do we think about Tim Keller?

    The Presbyterian Church in America (conservative, not to be confused with the liberal Presbyterian Church USA) recommends against acceptance of Roman Catholic baptisms, even though they are Trinitarian:

    Iran, the next war.

    I personally don't see Nick Fuentes as a credible commentator on the Iran War situation (or anything else, for that matter). A more credible source of information on the current situation may be Secretary of State Marco Rubio: Fury as Marco Rubio admits Israel forced US into war with Iran...

    What books, if any are you reading, or have you read in the past year

    I recommend "Barnaby Rudge." It is a terrifying tale by Dickens about the Lord Gordon riots in London in 1780. This would be good cautionary reading for anyone who is inclined to support, or make excuses for, any sort of left-wing or right-wing rioting or insurrections nowadays (Black Lives...
