Thank you for your post regarding
Slowly
Becoming
Catholic
For me it is a heartbreaking accurate observation of not just the SBC but pretty much most modern day churches
perhaps you might be blessed by this brief clip

A Call to Anguish - David Wilkerson
"That I may know Him, and the power of his resurrection, AND the Fellowship of His Sufferings ........"
Phil 3:10
kjv Thank you for that clip. The Lord use it as a wake up call for His church. Brokenness is one of revival's prerequisites. |

In my opinion, the most christian and best tax code would be to just simply have a flat tax rate for everyone. For example, 10% of an individuals income. No more, and no less. Of course, we need to realize that for this to take place we would need to have God fearing and honest political leaders. It would probably also require the elimination of the federal reserve with its corrupt banking. And in the case of the United States, it would mean having to abbandon its sinful foreign policy of starting wars and conflicts. Of deposing and establishing foreign dictators all in the name of democracy. A "democracy", however, that our founding fathers would never have embraced. Well said. |

Thanks for replying
I believe it is safe to say we desperately need an aware understanding discernment of these kind of things in our churches
and Pastors who will stand up for the Truth as well. Amen to that. |

Does your awarness extend to celebrity authors and works such as CS Lewis and Narnia or J. R. R. Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings (Harry Potter? Star Wars? Perhaps even "Veggie Tales?" I don't know about veggie tales, but to the rest I would have to say yes. (Especially Harry Potter.) |

This is not an Arminian vs. Calvinist issue. The type of Calvinism that would not allow for self defense or defense of family may well be a form of hyper-Calvinism that would not even allow for the open call of the Gospel. And I say this as a Calvinist myself. I also say that there is nothing unbiblical about self defense. Even Jesus recognized that that there were times when it was necessary to be armed.
Luk_22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
Luk_22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
You see it's one thing to live by the sword and another to defend yourself with one, or a gun for that matter. I hope that I do not have to explain that that principle applies to both swords and guns. While I myself do not own a gun (though maybe I ought to), I support the individual's right to bear arms, and if the bible has anything to say about it, it looks like Jesus would not have had anything against an armed populace. And no, there was no evidence in that passage that Jesus was merely engaging in hyperbole. |
