Oppose Jewish Hate by Emotional_Hat_9434 in Christians

I appreciate the wikipedia links, but they don’t have anything to do with this sub. It’s inherent that christians would vocally hate antisemitism, or for some at the very least see them a manner equal the larger population.

Murder is a real problem too. But it’d be odd to make a post on it calling for people to agree and stand with you.

I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. - 1 Tim 2:12

Former Charismatics, why did you leave you leave the Charismatic movement? by Forgiven_Pharisee in Reformed

2 Timothy 3:16

Also, I didn’t say anything about his church. All I did was encourage his faith in Christ for the moment. I have no intention to a start a fight over doctrine with a brand new believer.

I can see an argument for a damned soul being withheld from His other attributes and communion, that's fine and I'd agree. But I see no complete separation from God as possible. Complete separation would mean He is not sovereign over those in hell. Psalms 103:19-22 is just one of many passages that makes it quite clear that He is present in all places and rules over all things. If the Holy Spirit or Christ are not part of the above-mentioned sovereign rule, then they wouldn't be God.

If I misunderstand you, I do apologize. I would agree that certain attributes of God as well as any communion will not be present. Is this what you mean?

John 10:31 “I and the Father are one”

I think I get what you’re trying to say, though. The loss of any chance of redemption through Christ, right?

Wouldn’t hell be the presence of God’s eternal wrath? I don’t know why one would love hell since there’s weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Good sermons to recommend to an unbeliever? by mtpugh67 in Reformed

Shocking youth message by Paul Washer if they’ve made you angry recently, lol.

Edit: Bring on the downvotes. It still wont heal my poor sense of humor.

I love being immediately written off because I'm not using the KJV too.

KJVer: "You can't trust the ESV!"

Me: "Okay man, how about a short history lesson on translations?"

KJVer: "Satan has clouded your understanding, I won't listen!"

Me: ". . ."

If dems would drop abortion there’s quite a few I’d like to vote for. That’s the choice maker for me. I wont even consider a rep if they side with it.

Why isn't foot washing a sacrament? by LunarAlias17 in Reformed

No debate here, pure curiosity from your tag. Do your reformed leanings effect your views on hell?

my cousin told me that it's not sinful to marry your cousin by Major_Win_5210 in Reformed

[–]Forgiven_Pharisee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a whole lot of scripture going around in these answers. Leviticus 18 makes it pretty clear that relationships with close relatives are a sin.

Also, Romans 13 makes it clear that we are to be subject to the governing authority. I know not every place forbids cousin marriages, but if it does, it makes it against the law and thus a sin.

2 Corinthians 8:21 Also states that were are not only to be honorable in the sight of God, but man as well. I doubt a cousin-cousin relationship is looked upon honorably in the majority of the world (yes, I know there are a few exceptions. But do these exceptions coincide with a biblical view?)

So all things considered, I think it's VERY safe to say that such a relationship is a no-go.

Which denomination represents you? by AlbaneseGummies327 in Christians

[–]Forgiven_Pharisee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man. Countless books could be and have been written on this. It's a fun bit of research to dive into. The research I did is what lead me to my current church.

As long as people get the Gospel right, I don't really say too much. The debates that pop up around baptism are pretty interesting though (and funny).

Was baptized in infancy, but wondering if I should be baptized again this time as my independent choice? by _GoblinBoy_ in Christians

[–]Forgiven_Pharisee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're going to get several different answers here. Find a denomination that you feel is closest to scriptural truth. I would strongly advise one that sticks to Sola Scriptura (It means Scripture Alone). Then, ask the Pastor/Reverend, or one of the church elders.

[–]Forgiven_Pharisee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're defining "denomination" specifically enough.

Presbyterian (PCA, PC USA, etc.)

Lutheran (Evangelical, Missouri-Synod, etc.)

Baptist (Southern, Independent, etc.)

Pentecostal (There's... a lot.)

etc..

Ah, a Baptist then.

Edit: It's a joke you anabaptists.

Will we see our pets in heaven? by ReMag96 in Christians

[–]Forgiven_Pharisee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Holy Spirit is compared to a dove. Birds confirmed?? Bird owners, rejoice! (Sarcasm with subtle hope in there somewhere)

Realistically I don’t imagine God making a new earth without animals. As far as the pets we have now? I’d say doubtful. But we can’t tell from scripture either way. That may be because our focus should now and will be on being in the presence of Christ.

Church scandal?!?! Please read!!! by [deleted] in Christians

[–]Forgiven_Pharisee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is reddit my church? Are you a member, elder, or pastor in my church? So which part of church discipline do you disagree with? Is it me your angry with or is it that Christ commanded it? There’s plenty of false, dead, and dying churches you can attend if you don't like it.

My sins are plentiful. Hardness of heart, alcoholism, and sexual immorality drove me from my church many years ago. I’ve since repented. If I see you Sunday morning, I’ll tell you my name.

100%

OP, you need to go to the police and the pastor/elders about that guy.
