I actually see the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as a loving act. The people there were suffering miserably. It is much like a person who takes their dog to the vet. The dog is suffering and there is no hope at this point for treatment. People who love their animals have them put to sleep in th...

Hello All, I'm sure we're all familiar with God's judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah, but I was intrigued that God judged the city's children and infants as wicked and Lot as righteous when he offered his daughters to be raped and violated by the mob? Abraham seemed to have understood God's character co...

Well, Kirstjen Nielsen (DHS Secretary) provided an excellent synopsis on what is really going on at our southern border during yesterday’s press briefing. First of all, Trump’s administration is doing what the law states, and no one is being abused. It is true, Trump’s zero tolerance policy by defau...

Interesting! So one of you thinks the passage serves as a warning for how quickly oppressive governments can form... and the other sees it as a sign of God's blessing that power was increased peacefully. Hi Matt, Yes, but maybe the two views can be conflated. Clearly God blessed Joseph, who blessed...

I have a little side question. Don't know if anyone will be interested enough to answer. I have been preaching through the story of Joseph. The ending of the story is pretty long and often neglected. For example, the author of Genesis spends significant space (47:13-26) to tell us the inner-working...

The assumption is, before Christianity morality had no basis. IMO, this is a faulty presupposition from both an atheist and theist paradigm. I believe it is untenable to suggest that mankind’s quest for right and wrong resides only in the Christian faith. Mankind have always sought to live by princi...

Hi Steve, You did a fine job parsing Alec’s concern and indictment of “Christian” circular arguments, specifically regarding the sliding-scale of human suffering. But I find it interesting that Alec asked, who is God? Rather than, what is God? In order to grasp possibilities relevant to the human co...

This relationship, as the Son, isn’t confined to Yeshua’s incarnation. In the heavenly realm, he IS the Son... I fully agree that His Sonship isn't confined to his incarnation. As the early Christians affirmed, He was "begotten before all ages, the first of God's acts." So He was the Son of God at ...

Well, I have expressed my understanding. Seemingly you have a different interpretation. Just to state my belief more succinctly: The divine Son of God became human—FULLY human—not half God and half human. In becoming fully human, He emptied Himself of ALL His divine attributes. As a human being He ...

Hi Paidion, Yeshua never stopped being in the form of God, whatever that means, when He took on the form of man; the text clearly states this. Nonetheless, how can God deny himself from ever being God? The text in no way eludes to this understanding. IMO, the text says that Yeshua remained in the fo...
