It appears to me that churches are but social clubs.

Are social clubs soteriological?

@ethan.caughey Every American should know that the Founding Fathers separated the church from their state. Social clubs do not maintain morality but go along to get along.

@ethan.caughey You don't seem to think that God made eternal and universal laws for humanity.

I don't want church and state intertwined. My church is not a social club.

@ethan.caughey How is it not a social club? Does it maintain morality?
12:18 PM
@ethan.caughey

Correct. Our weekly email has a very clear link that you can click on and report abuse.
12:19 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#1
@ethan.caughey What kind of abuse?
12:20 PM
@ethan.caughey
#3
I haven't clicked the link, so I don't know. But immoral behavior generally creates abuse, so we have a clear method for discipline.

@ethan.caughey What is immoral behaviour?
12:21 PM
@ethan.caughey

And now you're playing dumb and trying to set up a trap with leading questions. I'm done playing with you. You know full well what immoral behavior is.
12:22 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism

@ethan.caughey I don't know what your church considers to be immoral behaviour and neither do you, it seems.

@ethan.caughey You think defining terms is "playing"?

@chrishoward8473 I was wondering if Olson received my answer to his Les Miserables question.

@chrishoward8473 Has Olson heard of the Half-Way Covenant?

@ethan.caughey For your information, defining and agreeing terms is crucial to having a constructive discussion about anything.

You can't not participate in society, because even if you do nothing you are still loitering on the street, and loitering is a thing.

Non-violent protest means that you can boycott voting because "Free will" or something.

To fix democracy, you need a personal army, and that makes you...a dictator. Ironic, a dictator is required to fix democracy. Heh. Fun circle of life this is 🐹🛞

7:00 Chris Howard refers to my comment:
I
don’t think Americans understand that the American Republic was one of the reasons why belief in Christianity in Europe declined to the extent that Christendom ended in 1918.After the success of the American Revolution, the French and Russian Revolutions followed. These revolutions were rejections of monarchy and the religion that supported their divine right to rule.Liberalism was imposed on Germany after the German Emperor abdicated in 1918 and the Weimar Republic replaced the German monarchy. This was rejected by Nazism.In Russia, Orthodox Christianity was replaced by Communism.Italy became a republic in 1946. If Italy itself was no longer Catholic because the king of Italy was forced to abdicate, Catholicism has utterly failed Catholic monarchs the remnants of whom are the Belgian and Spanish monarchies. It is the British monarchy that commands the most territory ie its dominions in Australia, Canada and New Zealand but the British and the rest of the West apart from Russia are but US vassal states. How do Americans feel about Paula White-Cain being in effect the Church of America representing American Christianity?Let’s face it, American Christianity is a completely different kettle of fish to European Christianity.The idea of non-denominational Christianity would be utterly heretical to the absolute monarchs of Christendom and wouldn’t be tolerated for a moment.Denominational Christianity was at least a way for competing Christians to say “My kind of Christianity is more powerful than your kind of Christianity because the empire of my monarch is vaster than yours.”Non-denominational Christianity will have anyone as long as they pay. This is the Christianity of your President who has no moral principles that he would like to declare other than morality is what his mind thinks is moral. Is Paula White-Cain his adviser and conscience or just his voodoo priestess?

1:31:00 Ideals and standards
1:32:00 Thinking straight is better than hypocritically pretending you care about loving others. The lower standard is the law. People with low standards will want to know what is the least they must do or the most they can get away with to get to heaven if they believe in that sort of thing. If they don't believe in God or the afterlife, they can at least refrain from breaking the law. If the law is an ass, they could be asking themselves why it is an ass, instead of endlessly filibustering to prevent a discussion about connecting law with morality.

The Secret to Work-Life Balance: I used to be stressed and overworked. Now, I’m earning over $220/hour working remotely, and I have more time for myself and my family. My friend’s success story inspired me to take the plunge. This incredible opportunity has allowed me to achieve the perfect work-life balance. I can now spend quality time with my loved ones, pursue my hobbies, and relax without worrying about money..
