CIVIL RELIGIOUS DISCUSSION: All things Christianity

[foszoe]

As a person who doesn't believe in the name it and claim it, eternal security, or calvinism or to put it more strongly, believes such theology is detrimental to Christianity, I find it fascinating that this ongoing dialogue with historian firmly believing his nonelect status being told by others, who I assume believe they are part of the elect that he is too very hard to understand given that the elect go about evangelizing everyone because they cant br sure who the elect are. After all it seems to me he is a product of that system of theology who simply recognizes his status but his conclusion puts him on the wrong side of the fence.

That is a very succinct way of putting it.

Pete Buttigieg said in an interview that people should "stop seeing religion as a kind of cudgel as if God belonged to a political party."

Immediately after, he said he "can't imagine" God would be a Republican.

Did they open a window and let the ghost of Charles Taze Russell revise up from 144,000?

....and I think my above statement is technically in the wrong thread.

 

[JettaKnight]

I didn't think that's really a thing on Google, but wow, it is.

Always ask a JW what tribe they're in and what number they have.

Not to mention a male virgin.

Hadn't looked at one of the paraphased "Living Bible" editions since about '76 or '77. Found one in a Goodwill store yesterday that will be fun to go back through.

If you want some real fun, red "The Message"...but don't study it.

My dad gifted me a copy at Christmas. Even then as a kid, neither of us took it seriously.

If you view it as commentary it is great! For a church book study we read A Long Obedience in the Same Direction by Eugene. It really adds a dimension that isn't usually seen.

And with the binding in need of repair like they always are.
