I have a similar situation with my late-teen children,

we have a small bible group which meets once a week its basically my family and one or two thers but we have our own minister who is retired baptist miinister who undertakes the teaching so God has well blessed us and been very generous - i think not many families have their own minister !

I was discussing the reformed path with a lady today and she noted it was a lonely path and i think she is right
our arminist brethren have a more social time of it but those of us who have been made to understand the doctrines of grace and sovreignty cannot sit comfortably with teaching that will not give God the whole glory for our awakening and this discomfort is experienced in some of the ways you describe and causes a certain loneliness but theres no other way for us.

Many call themselves Christian but cannot receive the truth. God's law IS truth. Psalm 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

what is going on ?

is this idolotary the making of God to suit themselves ?

Please tell me, where are the faithful churches?

Im not suprised, most churches and christians could not be less interested in new comers i was a bit embarrassed for my boys as i had taken them to the church and i explained i hoped one day they would find a church with people in it who would consider the duty of hospitality toward other believers .

I said i was sorry to my boys for taking them to that place as i feel it was my fault. I explained that although this is normal in the church today they werent to think that it was right and not to trust people just cos they go to churc

hospitality is a christian duty but truth is that the infidel, moslem, mormon and atheist fulfil this much better than christians.

This is normal.

Discipline dear boy, set aside half an hour for the word and a little prayer wether you feel like it or not and listen to SA sermons especially in my view the doughty humble thrice blessed don fortner

Im guessing here this might be a dry patch in which case having emerged the other end you will be rewarded three times over God is extremely generous under these circumstances try to discern Gods providence in all this, is there something that God is showing me or teaching me ? OR.....you might be in the clutches of works religeonists who are telling you things like what YOU must do to be saved and YOU have to have enough faith and giving you incorrect answers to your questions and thus poisoning your doctrine which is very discouraging (i met one yesterday)

What I mean is a whole lot different from what you posted.
A Baptist Type believer holds (briefly):

some modern evangelicals get exited about RC heresy while practicing many of their own which are just as destructive, a few I have heard:

You make the decision

God does not go where he isnt wanted

Ask Jesus into your heart

God loves all the sinners

Jesus died for everyone

God is knocking at the door of your heart you must ask him in

He urged atheists to take scientific evidence seriously and avoid prejudging science for their own idolotorous reasons.

The vote comes as more than 850 congregations throughout the globe are celebrating creation Weekend with the aim of demonstrating that creation is a central doctrine of christianity

Religion and true observational science are not adversaries, they say. Rather, the two fields should be seen as complementary

creation Weekend, which kicked off Friday, is supported by those who by the grace of the true and living God have been released from paganistic darkness and ignorance.

Ro 11:5 "Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace."

It also represents a good Gospel oppurtunity (all things work to the benefit of the elect !) We can test the atheists claim about being 'good' by running them thru the law.

It becomes clearer and clearer the deeper into the cration theory one studies as to the truth concerning the earth and all living elements on it.What is disheartening is the lack of faith even christians have in believing it.Yet you would think the absurdity of evolution would sell creation.Common sence....not so common.

Should professing christians be considered christians if they do not believe moses ?

I believe they should not. Not accepting genesis is a sympton of an unrepentant mind set ie exalting mans understanding above Gods word, God has not given it to them to believe.

What should a seeker do about this ? The repentant sinner will be alarmed that his worldview clashes with the Word and will use the many creation resources available to correct the problem

Why the qualifying adjective "external?"
Anticipating interest in Gen 38, what was Onan's sin, specifically? Judah gave Onan conjugal instructions in v. 8 which were disobeyed in v. 9. So what Commandment (yet to be revealed to Moses) did Onan violate? Looks like #5 to me - "Honor thy father & mother."

How dumb can you get /

God has given them up to a (thoroly) reprobate mind.

Can you imagine their astonishment and horror on the great day ? It will be the most amazing thing

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?

it reminds me of

Leviticus 18: 25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

When these things happen christians wont be debating on forums wether or not God sends earthquakes everyone is going to KNOW but it will be to late to warn

with a few exceptions america has definitely turned its back on God same as here in the UK.

The fornicators sodomites and general God haters want to shut up the Gospel, even christians join in the persecution of those that still are sounding the alrm such as WBC

The general church could hardly care less over here, even the best of them are run as clubs without growth and without discipling
