Little birds at a bird feeder are afraid. They take a peck and look round for danger. They take another peck and look round again for danger. And they do that continually. And the reason they do that is because there is danger.

Now just because the Welsh guv has announced that the situation in Wales is far worse now than it was earlier in the year, there is no need to fear. But there is a need to consider your ways.

(856 pages. This book complements the materials found in Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood by providing detailed answers to multiple objections that were raised in the thirteen years of intensive discussion and debate from 1991 to 2004.)

Egalitarians, or evangelical feminists, consider men’s and women’s roles in the home and church to be interchangeable. In this helpful book, Bible scholar Wayne Grudem considers over a hundred egalitarian arguments and finds them contrary to the Bible. According to Grudem, the Bible teaches that God values men and women equally. However, their roles in home and church are complementary to each other, not interchangeable. Arguing against both feminism on the left and male chauvinism on the right, his carefully researched handbook is a valuable resource defending the complementarian viewpoint.

Yes brother, they were emancipated when there was no need to emancipate. I have heard many preachers say regarding how women were formed. They say something like: "notice it doesn't say they came from Adam's foot.
IMO, the church should be ashamed of itself for thinking that being submissive to their husbands as unto the Lord is some sort of put-down. And having gentle and quiet spirits is meant only when you enter a church. That is compartmentalizing sin.

Yes, the more submitted we are to our head, the better it gets. And the more disobedient we are to our head, the worse it gets.

Not arguing for the sake of argument, John, but for clarity. It was Adam’s sin, not Eve’s that got them kicked out of the garden. It is Adam’s sin that brought death on the earth, and it was Adam, not Eve who was held responsible, because Eve was deceived, and Adam wasn’t. It was for him to protect her, and he failed. Why? He was with her when she ate of the fruit. He listened to her instead of God and ate.

The end IS nigh!!

Tell everybody Christ Jesus is coming soon!!

To the regenerate it will be an encouragement, and to the unregenerate it may stimulate them, if the Spirit permits, by way of calling them to repentance and to receive the Lord Jesus Christ.

Some of the scripture involved in mine own conversion was this text:-

Thanks for your response John. So Daniel should have jot gone along with Nebuchadnezzars decree at the end of chapter 4 of Daniel? or Darius decree in chapter 6? The Jews should not have returned to their land by decree of Cyrus? Mordecai should not have made a decrre in Esther?
An addressing your statement ygat they should not join in a march.
What did our Lord say, he that is not with us is against us. I would agree thus is not a Christian endeavor

The right to peaceably assemble was unknown during the time of the writing of the Scriptures, so to say it is not warranted in Scripture is meaningless, it was unknown.
This is about taking a stand for the lives of the innocent and against murder, if you cannot find that warranted in Scripture, please go back and read your Bible again.

Yes brother, the feminist movement is from the god of this world. The great whore term obviously stems from and refers to this movement. There is nothing that can be done about it, but that doesn’t mean we should support or promote it like some men do on this forum. Men are primarily responsible for this movement and that would include me. Jezebels need them and they can easily get them. All they have to do is say good post brother.
The below verse is often forgotten and leads to compromise.
Galatians 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

Until she sinned.

The coming of the Lord draws near, the time is at hand. This daily routine will cease, and God will show who are his true servants and who are charlatans and deceivers. It is a fact that those who do not love the brethren have not yet passed from death unto life, they are still in their sins.

"We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren."

Today, over a hundred years later, there is nothing left. Churches have backslidden away, individuals have backslidden away, and God is noticeable by his absence in assemblies and church services. This has led to all sorts of man made practices in the church context, with by far the majority of genuine Christians trying to get their joy from broken cisterns rather than have the simple but effective joy of the Lord.

In many chapels across my county, if a gospel preacher is invited to come preach, his message will either be censured, and he will not be invited again, or his message will be ignored and commended with a sickly smile from the church secretary.

SA has shown Jim L and many of us an incredible amount of grace. We live in a "cancel culture" in which we can no longer tolerate opposing views in the public or private fora (forums?). While I vehemently disapprove of Jim's politics and his god, "thank you" to SA for not just jettisoning posters like happens on Facebook, Twitter, and many other places. Great example!
Instead, they have shown Jim grace, that same grace the Lord has shown us thru the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Of course it is only God who knows who these elect souls are. It is not our work on earth to save the elect. It is our work to preach the gospel to every creature, and through that means, God will save his elect. Thusly it becomes us to be gracious to all, as God has been gracious to us.
