Are you fully vaccinated?

Is there one available that thwarts 'christians' allegedly filled with the spirit?

Are you fully asshol-inated? Or just half-assinated?

Fugking Idiots tend to not answer questions but I'll give it another go.

Are you fully vaccinated?

Am I fully vaccinated?

Answer this one, asswipe: Do you think my medical history is any of your phoucking business?

It's a yes or no question.

The first century approach to advancing the Gospel modeled by Jesus and the apostles was very effective. And it was very attractive. Jesus’ resurrection was at the center of the first century apologetic. Maybe twenty first century believers ought to reclaim it as the center of theirs as well. Seems some have complicated it; seems some want it to be more demanding. That’s just pushing people away from the roots of the faith. The faith isn’t founded on a long list of rules, and it isn’t founded on ‘the Bible’ either. It’s founded on the death and resurrection of Jesus. Pretty simple really.

The religious landscape in America has shifted. Fewer and fewer Americans are self-identifying as Christians, and nearly 56 million Americans now identify as being religiously unaffiliated. And that’s in a society that’s rooted in the history, culture, and practices of Christianity…but millions have and are walking away from it, and millions more have and are flat-out rejecting it. That is clear evidence of the overall abject failure of the church nowadays. Yep, failure.

Our culture questions biblical authority more so now than ever before. It values education and reason and science and reality, and doesn’t value faith based answers to fact based questions. We know the earth is 4.5 billion years old, and the universe is 13.8 billion years old. And there is tension when folks try to resolve the realities of their lives with Sunday school depictions of reality. “The Bible says” and “the Bible teaches” and “God’s Word is clear” doesn’t carry any weight with millions and millions of people nowadays. Everything’s an adversary to many of those in the church; they’re so defensive. Why not view changes and advancements as opportunities to underscore the faith, rather than as intentions to undermine the faith…?

Apostle’s Peter and Paul, both prominent leaders in the first-century church, adjusted their approaches in light of their audiences. But while they tailored and adapted their approaches, their central message remained the same. And so, like Peter and Paul, maybe the church ought to change their hermeneutical approach to advancing the Gospel. The foundation of Christianity is an event, not a book. Even Apostle Paul said, “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.”

That`s way too simple for the Evangelists here.They need to tell you of all your faulty problems with the correct way of deciphering The Bible.They are way above their heads and need to bullchit others to try and raise their low self esteem.You are exactly right that this is the main reason I no longer attend any main stream church.There are too many of them hovering around thinking they are superior and think they can suck up to God.Good luck with that .

And with this religious model, the whole earth wondered.............after the beast.

We try our best to no celebrate Halloween. KYHillChick and I live at the end of a dead-end street off another dead-end street. When my folks lived in the house, the got maybe 10 trick-or-treaters at the door. Since we've been living there, I haven't seen any. Nobody who has trudged that far wants to go up the steep driveway. We just keep the lights out.

It didn't used to be that way. When my sons were young, they enjoyed it, and we lived in a neighborhood that was heavily into it-- with one huge exception.

There was a family that lived down the street from us that used to put out this really odd decoration. It was a plywood cut-out of a sheep ringed in bright red ribbon lights. There was also a black cross similarly decorated. Some Christian family had decided to decorate their house this way. The sheep was bigger-than-life, more like cow size. We speculated it was supposed to be the Lamb of God, but the whole tableau looked more like a Black Angus Bull knocking over headstones in the cemetery. During the day it was freaky, because the cutouts were not lit. At night it was just plain weird.

Not just HC and OH, but every church, every religious doctrine known, A. don't understand what was written, and B. are teaching a false religion that came right out of Asia Minor through the Edomites who claim today they are jews but are not.
They have everyone waiting in fear of a visual second coming that even their Jesus said wouldn't happen visually. Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Read it again........... The Kingdom of God cometh NOT with observation..........................why? because the Kingdom is within you, not outside of you.

Nope. It was posted here as a response to your all consuming hatred.

Claimed to be.

But, based on his actions. ??

Since when does that count?

Are you trying to insinuate pukes like Biden and Piglosi arent Christians. Blasphemy

They are believers ust like us, except they could afford to buy a ticket through the Pearly Gates.

Dimocraps deflect, especially DeFlave.

He may be, but seems to me he's a bit wormy.

Works don't count. They believed in Jesus.
