THAT is not the paper I am speaking of. Let me see if I can find the paper/magazine that I am speaking of.

More of Timmy Dalrymple:

“We are happy to celebrate the positive things the administration has accomplished. The problem is that we as evangelicals are also associated with President Trump’s rampant immorality, greed, and corruption; his divisiveness and race-baiting; his cruelty and hostility to immigrants and refugees; and more.”

I believe it is called The Christianity Today. I have heard Dr. David Reagan, who has a Sunday TV program called "Christ in Prophesy" by his ministry Lamb and Lion. He has spoken more than once about the publication that Pastor Graham started having gone liberal, like so many publications today. I believe this is the publication he was speaking of. But it is not the one you are speaking of. The publication Dr. Reagan was speaking of is not run by Franklin Graham. He said it had been taken over by liberals.

“”The virus of racism infected our church” "The virus of liberal white guilt has infected many churches."

The cancer of progressivism/Cultural Marxism has infected all of our society, including churches (where leaders come from universities = indoctrination centers). Look up "The Frankfurt School" for the source of much/most of this cancer.

Robert, the publication that Billy Graham had that has gone liberal is Christianity Today, not Decision or whatever its name is. I have heard Dr. David Reagan of the TV program "Christ in Prophesy" of Lamb and Lion ministries, spoke of this several times on his program. That was founded by Billy also.

“I have no use for organized religion (though I do believe in God).”

A great many share that position.

There is faith and spirituality, then there is religion — something one believes in and follows devotedly; a point or matter of ethics or conscience.

Progressivism is a religion, gay advocacy is a religion, feminism is a religion, sports fanaticism is a religion, green is a religion, TDS is a religion, veganism is a religion and now, white guilt is becoming a religion.

All religions, all nothing to do with God.

Christian religions have widely varying perspectives on God and Scripture, as evidenced by Catholic - Protestant wars and never-ending doctrinal battles between Protestant denominations..

“And he spoke of Adam because it is through him that sin entered into and upon every man.”

Well...someone chatted with the serpent before chatting with Adam...

Yes, and where did “someone” come from?

A Reparations view.

Jointly paid by:
All foreign territories that had slave collectors.
All foreign territories that had slave dealers, there or in America.
All territories that owned or operated slave ships.
All American states that had slave purchasers or owners.

All above entities to have an equal share of funding reparations.

Reparations paid only to those with proof of a direct ancestor having been a slave owned by a resident of an American state.

(Note that this is not just for ancestors of African slaves.)

“Yes, and where did “someone” come from?”

By the inferred logic of your question — if your spouse or offspring breaks a law, you are responsible.

Yes I am aware of Christianity Today and how it has been taken over by liberals. What I was unaware of was the fact that there was also a publication called Decision that was also created by Billy Graham. Thus when he said CT bad, decision good, I wasn’t sure what he was talking about regarding Decision. Thus initially I thought he was talking about the church leading on reparations was good. Anyway I have that straight now. Now I also know that Billy graham also started the publication: Christ in Prophesy. Anyway, thanks for your clarifications and the education regarding more publications Billy graham had started. 8>)

I’ll answer for you since you don’t seem to “get it”. She was formed from one of Adam’s ribs. Ok? God formed her by taking one of Adam’s ribs. She was not formed independently from Adam. Therefore she was part of Adam. He was therefore integral to her even being here. THAT’S why she was subject to him. She was part of him. He was responsible for her. And being responsible for her because she was ACTUALLY part of him made him the one who answered to God.

In other words, we ALL descended from one man, EVEN Eve.

“He was responsible for her.”

From that, logically, you must endorse the leadership role God ordained for husbands in marriage.

Yes I do. But I’m still not sure you understand why “sin entered the world by one man”, not one woman, or two people.

I do understand it, but disagree, as Protestants disagree with Catholics.

It’s written that “Adam had an obligation to rebuff Satan and to guard his wife and the garden, but he remained passive.” (I guess the Writer was there.)

Add that idea with the leadership role God ordained for husbands in marriage (which parallels your view of Adam), and I must conclude that husbands (and fathers of daughters) have largely remained passive in guarding those females from our society’s progressives, leftists and Godless and their indoctrination of those females into Godlessness and husbandlessness.

You are COMPLETELY missing this. Everyone, WVERYONE came into being from ONE being, Adam. EVEN EVE came into being from ADAM’S RIB. A REAL and TRUE part of ADAM. This has nothing to do with Catholics/non-Catholics.

Here is an article I saw this evening:

FAR-LEFT LAODICEAN MAGAZINE ‘CHRISTIANITY TODAY’ DEMANDS THAT AMERICA’S CHRISTIAN CHURCHES PAY REPARATIONS TO BLACKS FOR SLAVERY

I’m missing nothing. I said I understand your point and I do.

The Catholic/Protestant item was just reference to how Christians can disagree.

My last point was in agreement with you (I guess you missed it) about men being slack about guarding their women from societal evils, since they’re responsible for their women like Adam was.

Btw, YELLING AT ME doesn’t do a thing to help you make your point.
