Daily Alchemy: Can we make this controversy good?
22d ago“Was the 'Anti-Christian Bias' report's treatment of Calvinism, criticized by Baptist News Global, fair?”
I say "consider myself" instead of "call myself" as a turn of phrase. I am a follower of Jesus, and have been for a couple of decades now. I just like to say things in weird ways, I guess. It's good for me! I've taken to journaling again.... I love this line: Grace is our collective safeguard against the society becoming drenched in sin. I grew up Christian on the East Coast of America and tasted many varietals of the sin/shame/damnation Christianity.... This prompt was inspired by the public takedown of a friend — a polarizing figure on X. To me, her views are refreshing, provocative, and rooted in a sincere curiosity.... - onWe need to recover the idea of the Soul from its destruction at the hands of modern metaphysics and its distortion in traditional Christianity.by
"In my Christian upbringing, I was taught that I AM a soul, not that I possess one. In this scheme, my Soul is fatally marked with Sin, incapable of pleasing God, and must be redeemed." You would know better than me, but: People might have said "You are a soul", but I don't... - onHi! A little about me. I'm a Wisconsinite. I am in my first year of retirement from teaching. I feel I have had lots of different experiences both in school and out of school. I am a cardiac arrest survivor from ventricular fibrillation and had an 80% blockage angioplastied. Last year I had my first battery replacement. I am married and my husband has 1 year of retirement in. We have 2 adult sons. The oldest is married and is a step dad. The youngest is not married yet. My parents are deceased and I have no siblings. My life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, right from my birth. I enjoy camping, gardening (though I am not a green thumb), family and my Chihuahua/ beagle, Snoopy. I am a person full of life experience contrast, one beingcontrasts such as being spiritual yet not church going. I hope my experiences can help others. 😀byElohimist...

Spiritual is a lukewarm term. You are still alive so I can tell you that you don't need to go to church but we all need to be born again. Do you believe that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess Jesus as Lord?... - onI keep coming up against people who don't understand that there were 75 some million people who voted for what's happening in America & in the world right now. My fellow progressives & people on the left have become a bit too angry at all of them, as if millions of people are just going to disappear once things are being run rationally again. We can't hate all of them. I suspect there's at least 20 million wives who had to vote for Trump or else & are probably brainwashed to some extent or another. There's another 25 million who just go along with what everybody around them is doing & never had an original thought in their lives. It actually is beyond me. How many people ended up voting for him.byElohimist...
People voted for Donald J. Trump because he is a successful businessman and we are tired of politicians who don't have the guts to do what he is doing.... Hello everyone it's wonderful to meet you I hope to find new interesting people on this platform and hopefully able to not only help but to make other people's lives better within Christ and the Father above. I love you all.... - Jhabante...

Hello, My name is Arnold Joseph Bur and I am an Elohimist, because "Christian" churches are ordaining openly gay ministers. And, because In The Beginning Elohim created the Heavens and the earth... Just because it's a church, it does not mean it's a Body of Christ....
