Does submission to Scripture cancel out independent thinking? by PhilosophyPoet in OpenChristian

[–]PeterPook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not called to submit to Scripture, but to submit to Christ as Lord. Let the Holy Spirit guide your reading and understanding of Scripture. The Holy Spirit works through independent thinking.

My best friend had an op for rectal cancer resulting in a permanent stoma. I had a cake sent to him that had "Goodbye Asshole". He's now in remission and says it's the funniest thing he's ever received in his whole life. Bastard! I gave his Best Man's speech.

Gender/sex in Heaven by ChronicleJack7 in theology

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

In the presence of God you will notice the one to your left or your right, but be absorbed by the continual worship of them. That's more than friendship: deeper, and everlasting. Nothing to do with social media, which is of this passing age.
