Attention: Pastor Robert Lee

Image
                                        Mr. Lee, my goal is to help bring as many to salvation as possible and encourage them to maintain their Christian Walk. Perhaps you claim likewise.  Now the conditions of salvation (maintaining God's Grace) throughout Christian history, no more/less :  The Holy Spirit's prompting belief in the Trinitarian God and Faith that Jesus was God incarnate, atoned for everyone's sins, and resurrected to conquer death as perfect Savior. Repentance, confession/baptism into Christ, and always living faithfully there-after.  But you add a condition: We must see the Bible as a perfect God-authored book and/or not believing such is lack of faith. Those who cannot accept that yet would happily accept the other terms are turned away. That is because they are taught it is an all or nothing package. So, people like you are digging chasms in the road to...

Once Saved Always Saved?

Image
                                     Knowing whether or not you can lose your soul after having been saved should be of top importance.  Ideally, this should be settled by Scripture. Now an elderly church leader relayed that when he was young, him and his grandmother took opposite sides on this issue. His grandmother compiled a list of scriptures supporting her stance and he compiled a list supporting his. Nothing ever changed. I did likewise, and others claimed to see absolutely nothing from it.  Also, I was convinced that their use of select scriptures completely distorted the texts.  So, to avoid wasting time and energy, I exclude it here.  First, since both sides claim it is crystal clear that their position is right and the other wrong, one side has to be very dishonest.  And oftentimes, both sides cannot agree to disagree, rightfully so.  So, this excludes a...

"Sex Work"

Image
  The New York politician known as AOC said:  "Sex work is work."   That is like saying eating work is work, drinking work is work, breathing work is work, sleeping work is work, urinating work is work, or defecating work is work.  Sex is not work! It is a bodily function.  It also implies that she sees sex as only an unenjoyable chore that calls for heavy compensation. She also includes in so-called sex work women who sell videos of themselves naked, not even having bodily contact with the foolish men who pay for it.  That is highly offensive to those who work long hard hours for low pay. Everyone naturally takes their clothes off occasionally.  It is no product or service whatsoever and takes advantage of men and their impulsive desires.                                         In reference to a female paramedic who supplemented her income wit...

Free Market

Image
Th e mere concept of voluntary exchange, that is, transaction in which two parties trade goods or services for money, based on supply and demand, is totally normal and healthy. However, free market (or laissez-faire Capitalism) is also an economic system with little or no government control.  Many people want this, as they want maximum freedom and unrestrained moneymaking. Yet the results are price gouging (unlimited overcharging), providing harmful products or services, and selling products or services inappropriate for the individual.  Pure, uninhibited free market economies are generally banned. For example, charging a person who is dying of thirst a million dollars for a bottle of water, selling deadly Fentanyl over the counter at drugstores, or doing big business with small children. Although those harms are curtailed, there is still plenty of harm among our current business practices. Note the following: Gambling casinos rob many of their life savings, also ruining whole...
