Alas, they have made shipwreck of their faith.

I say this is because just last night I was at a Bible Study where a kind and gentle Hispanic first lady of that church translated "The LORD is my Shepherd" into Spanish as "Jehova es mi Pastor," which is correct (per Spanish RVG Bible). When I pointed out to her that the translation accurately used the Name instead of "LORD" she said, "No, Jehova is translation for 'LORD.'" However, the translation for "LORD" is "El SENOR." My point is that using the KJV as the only source for translating Scripture into other languages seems to me a huge mistake. And how can one call on a Name that is mistranslated?

My point is, one does not have to be an active participant of evil to be condemned; but to simply witness it and do or say nothing to God about it. Thumb twiddling is not an option.

Ironically, Jesus dictated these rebukes to John. Remember, it was John who tried to stop a person from using Jesus' Name for a work of righteousness simply because he was not in their group. That sometimes happens here. Instead of praise for an obvious work of righteousness in Jesus' Name we sometimes bite and devour each other. I beg you to continue to dictate Jesus words on SA because your words are gracious and relevant.

I do want to add that it is amazing how much envy and jealousy has come to light as people opine about the passing and legacy of Evangelist Graham. Many of the commentators I have heard concerning him on SA are sadly seasoned with gall instead of the salt of grace. Many critiques but scant celebrations for the work of an evangelist, a husband and father dedicated to family, and a nearly scandal free life. The criticisms reminds me of Rep. Pelosi's "Crumbs" comment; insinuating that the ignorant masses (numbered not in the hundreds but the hundreds of millions) who heard him proclaim the Gospel were really being fed a false Gospel. His repetition "The Bible says..." stands in stark contrast to the man-made doctrines and confessions which others quote. Jesus: "Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another."

Again, that world view is dangerous! It is not only two year old infants that are not able to communicate well or take care of themselves.

Allegations are not deeds. I am sure that if the President is indeed born again then his conversion is recent. So if he (or we for that matter) are judged by our past deeds prior to our conversion then that's one thing. But what fruit has he born lately? Judge him on t

What these states should do is not tamper with the original birth certificates but issue an addendum that states that the individual has chosen to change their sexual identities.

Matthew 11:23-24 NRSV And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades. For if the deeds of power done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (24) But I tell you that on the day of judgment it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom than for you."

For the enemy to put Ravi Zacharias' head on his mantle would be a very big deal. He is and has been one of our best apologists in modern times. His comments in the article are well worth receiving; especially when someone brings up a false accusation against YOU.

Jim, you've given us many a link with interviews and quotes from Goodbye Charlie Rose. He already said that he was "embarrassed" at the revelation. What's your take on this serial abuser?

That is why I give props to Jim for his courage to continue sharing his thoughts here at this free speech forum. Ironically, I think if a Thatcher-like person monitored our threads here at SA then we would not see most of Jim's hilarious comments and links. And "bystanders and observers" would have a clear choice of what is and what is not sound reasoning.

And I (we) stake our lives on such flimsy evidence. We weren't there because this was nearly 2000 years ago. That 3 1/2 yrs of public ministry convinced me that his character was real, despite the testimony of his accusers. And Judge Moore has been on the scene much longer.

I don't know if evangelicals actually stayed home. I believe what happened there is happening all over the world and it involves millennials. A huge chunk of them are apostate children of evangelicals. The motto "As for me my house" is no longer emphasized, thus we have a generation who don't know Jesus like those generations of Israelites after Moses and Joshua who did not know the LORD. We know how it ended at the end of Judges with the civil war which began with the perverse actions of a Levite in the territory of Benjamin (Judges 19-21). Today, will it be revival or revenge at the hand of the LORD.
