Does God Know the Future or Not?

John D 4 October 2015 4 October 2015Nature of God, Omniscience

Is there a contradiction between God’s omniscience vs free will? A subtheme this Feast of Tabernacles seems to be the omniscience of God. It appears to me that not many really believe that God knows all things, even when they are busy declaring how great He is. More disturbing is…

Is Loyalty to an Organization Wrong?

John D 3 October 2015 30 October 2020Attitude, Loyalty

Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. ~ Vince Lombardi Let me ask you something: Is it wrong to be loyal to a person or group of people? Think before you answer. Some…

Why Fast on Atonement?

John D 23 September 2015 23 September 2015Day of Atonment, Holy Days or Holidays

Satan is being put away, so why fast on Atonement? The first festival, the Passover, showing the crucifixion of Christ, in other words, that was His death for us. He took on Himself our sins, and one of the things that we should see today, especially if you read back…

Why Are You “Going to the Feast”?

John D 20 September 2015 20 September 2015Attitude, Feast of Tabernacles, Holy Days or Holidays

Doing the right things for the wrong reasons won’t bring the results you expect. The important thing is rejoicing before God as we observe these Holy Days. ~ an unnamed elder in an unnamed organization The above quote was in a blog post I read, and it saddens me…

Christianity More Tolerant Than Intolerant Liberals

John D 7 September 2015 30 October 2020Attitude, Hypocrisy, Judgmentalism

Intolerant liberals and gay “marriage” supporters show their intolerance by bullying a KY clerk. Intolerance is on the rise, and it is especially on the rise against anyone who claims to be or even somewhat resembles a truly conservative Christian. In particular, liberals, who are supposed to be known for…

Ashley Madison and the Pharisees

John D 3 September 2015 30 October 2020Attitude, Hypocrisy, Judgmentalism, Justice & Forgiveness

Did users of Ashley Madison get what they deserved? 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. ~ Jn 8:7 The entire Ashley Madison affair (pun intended)…
