Part of the goal of the Chinese government is to water down Christianity to the point where it retains so little of Jesus’ teachings that it means nothing in terms of salvation. In essence, they are trying to put the Chinese people into the scenario of the Church in Laodicea from Revelation.
We use the word love so much these days that it often doesn’t seem to mean much. There’s lots of love, but without caring. Love without caring. For instance, I love sushi, especially ikura and uni. Add a quail egg, and there’s even more to love. But does that love include caring? No. It’s just food, there’s no caring associated with that love.
But then there’s you, the person reading this. Chances are I don’t know you – and you don’t know me. How can I love you the same way I love sushi? But I do care about you. I care enough about you that I spend lots of time and energy writing things for this site and my other one. That’s caring without love. Or is it?
Should Christians vote based on where tax dollars go? I know many Christians who think they do exactly that. As in give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. You know the issues. Abortion. LGBT. Immigration – illegal immigrants, emphasis on “illegal. These topics and many others are hot button issues for many on the so-called Christian-right. While they may be “right, in the sense that “right” indicates conservatives / Republicans – are they “right” as in the sense of right and wrong? We’ll get to the liberal left in a moment.
Why does it matter that we’re not a Christian nation any more? Maybe a better question – Does it matter that we’re not a Christian nation any more? Forget about the why – does it even matter at all? For those who think we still are a Christian nation, please see Americans want to read the Bible more, but don’t. That should remove any doubt that we really aren’t. And while this is written with the U.S. in mind – it’s true for any country that used to be Christian, but no longer is.

The passage in Malachi says, Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.”The question isn’t whether or not God will provide. No – the question is whether or not we will even bother to test God.
I have some questions for Christians on immigrants. What are your feelings towards and about immigrants? Doesn’t matter if they’re legal or illegal immigrants. By the way, in the Bible, they were called aliens. There was nothing about legal or illegal. Is your view Biblical? Or is it the one put forth by our President? I have to ask because, well, it can’t be both. It’s one or the other. And you know what Jesus said about things that came down to one of two choices.
Is everyone really going to Heaven? That’s what Universalism teaches. Maybe. Sort of. It’s probably what “Universalists” believe. But is that really what Universalism teaches? It’s not unlike the question of what Christians believe as opposed to what Christ actually taught.
How Much Of The Unobservable Universe Will We Be Able To See? Sounds like a trick question, doesn’t it? Actually, I left something out. The headline from the Forbes article is: How Much Of The Unobservable Universe Will We Someday Be Able To See? Now you’ve got it, right? It’s about technology. Or is it?
The Headline: Alabama ISIS bride’s father sues Trump administration over citizenship, seeks her return. Trump says no. My question for someone who claims to have done so much for Christians – where is forgiveness? Mt 6:14 “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”Yeah – that forgiveness.
The headline reads New Universe map unearths 300,000 more galaxies. Of course, there’s nothing of God. But at what point will even the most die-hard scientists who still argue there is no God – when will they finally admit that God must exist?
Pope Francis signs peace declaration on ‘Human Fraternity’ with Grand Imam. Really. The Pope and a Grand Imam. Agreeing on the “Human” Fraternity”. At first glance, this is shocking. On second glance, after reading the article from The Catholic Herald, it’s still shocking. After reading comments from North Catholic Texas, on third glance, it’s still shocking.
Now, it’s time to really look into exactly what’s going on here.
