Thanks for this post. The situation you linked to is heart-wrenching. I do relate to the psalmists. I find myself praying in like ways in many circumstances in life, in particular in the situation you link to. Justice is important to God, and it should be to humans as well. Violence is...

I would like to proceed for sure. Buttercup answered most of this. We have good records for everything in 1-6 (except #5). I (I am the secretary) have prepared a document for an attorney, a spreadsheet that lists the time line of events with all documentation pertinent to each event ready...

Yes, as Buttercup said, we first wanted him to step down as president. But when he started inviting volunteers and the wider community into the board's conflict, some members were done. So thus we voted him out of all of his positions, his officer roles of president and chair, and his pastoral...

The church is a small, non-denominational, independent, and unincorporated 501(c)(3) non-profit church. So we do not have the backing of a larger denomination. If we did, this pastor would have to answer to the governing powers above him. He is the pastor, the president and chair on the...

We have documented everything. I am the secretary. As Buttercup has said, we are looking for a cease and desist letter. Also To provide in that letter to the shadow church that he has formed since his removal from his offices and titles that we are the legit board; this is documented well...

Agree completely! And, I've known of people who have reversed their diabetes! And their heart disease!

That is called teaching our children cognitive dissonance, or as the bible calls it, double mindedness.

The work of Jesus on the cross, dying and rising again - the first fruits of our own resurrection, when we are baptized into Christ.

Clear meaning!? Wow, are we reading from the same book? Scripture often contradicts itself and seems to conflict! It is not clear at all in many areas and takes discernment and hearing the voice of God. God said the sheep hear my voice. I'm learning a ton, now that I questioned everything I...

Yes, Paul was addressing a GENTILE audience. They were immersed in all kinds of wickedness. So Paul is addressing them as them as the "weaker in faith", this makes sense. I think you are right, the church relaxed their requirements when making gentile converts, they shouldn't have.

Yes, I do! "Supposed to" and omnicience are not polar opposites unable to exist together. We know that there is a perfect will of God for us, right? We know that we are not living out that perfect will now, right? Why is that? Because God wills us not to? That makes no sense and also is...

I am not telling other Christians anything, I am sharing what scripture is teaching us, and hoping that other brothers and sisters will open their eyes and hearts and see beyond what their particular denomination or what the norm in our churches has been teaching for decades. I am encouraging...

Praise God you have been vegan for 8 years!! That is amazing!! Thank you for all your kind words. I get it too. I had all the same misconceptions. I think in being willing to embrace veganism God was able to open my eyes to more truths, things in his word that we cannot see until we follow...

When we became separated from God, from he whom gives us LIFE, we die, spiritually and physically. Why are we separated from God? Because we chose not to adhere to his perfect design, and we believed Satan's lie that we could be like God, that somehow God was withholding something from us that...
