Christians Cool With 'Biblical Slavery' Ponder On This.

I want to start by saying this is not a theological post. So, to say it's not "biblical" makes no sense because that's not the point of this article. The goal of this post is to explain what the writer of Genesis says from the perspective of Near Eastern religions. The pagans and Greeks had competing religious views, and much of the first two chapters of Genesis seek to view the world from not only the true God, Yahway but to knock down competing religious worldviews from a Jewish cultural

The conservative movement has become a vehicle for right-wing resentment. White evangelical churches openly-encourage congregants to 'vote red,' which violates the Johnson Amendment, which states churches shall not engage in politics; including telling church-members to vote for specific candidates. Numerous white evangelical Christians churches claim Trump revoked the Johnson Amendment; only Congress can repeal such a law. White evangelical Christians turned churches into Republican clubs.

Christian Nationalists Don't Care About Family Values, They Never Did Regardless of his poor behavior of minorities, women, human decency, white evangelicals still support Donald Trump in record numbers. The mental gymnastics they use borders on insanity. Trump isn't a pastor, or we didn't pick him as a husband, they say. Conservatives see Trump as their "bodyguard" for religious and political cover. Dropping morals for the sake of tax cuts for the rich, and so-called religious freedom bills

As a kid, I went to church on a regular basis. The denomination is irrelevant at the moment. But the one thing I learned is to love others. I specifically remember going to a youth rally in Spokane, Washington where I believed the Gospel and received the gift of eternal life. An immense sense of love washed over my being. A love like I'd never felt before or since. And I remember love and peace of mind constituted some of the best gifts of Christ, at that time in my life. Being sent from foster

"According to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, suicide is the tenth leading cause of death. And depression is a major cause of suicide." ~ Psychology Today Feeling sad from time to time can be challenging to deal with, but the diagnosis of depression is not the same. Clinical depression has the tendency to tamper a patients plan to live a fulfilling life. "Depression is the most common mental health disorder after anxiety disorders. It affects 7% of adults in the United States

(Updated Edited.) First, I dare say, the Bible should not be read as a science book. Although the Bible contains scientific facts and philosophical information, we must understand the Bible must be read in context. Some, as Christians, get the idea they know more than, say, scientists, through the Scriptures, and that if empirical scientific data goes against a literalist interpretation of creationism, we should go with a literalist interpretation of the Scriptures. It is not only wrong, but it

Although I don't agree with the atheist telling folks what to do, I do agree in 'principle' with pastors weighing in on political matters. Pastors, like politicians, have certain roles, and the church and state are best kept separate. The reason for religious exemption is for the function of religious freedom. Freedom of religion isn't unlimited freedom, but for the freedom of the purpose authorized. However, when pastors are requested to observe the legal parameters conditioned by the

(This post does not in any way reflect the views of ECU). Up until now, many evangelical Christians stood by Donald Trump; regardless of his vile comments about minorities, so-called bimbos and the alike; but when Trump went after white women, that was it. Some evangelical Christians threw in the towel, so to speak, on Donald Trump. As a Christian, I too, believe in redemption and forgiveness. After all, forgiveness is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, redemption through the shed blood of
