Focusing on news and current events is largely a waste of time for Christians. We can't impact global events or political situations; hence, it's fruitless to focus on that.
Instead, our primary objective should be to cultivate strong saints and take real action at the local/micro level. It's by cleaning one's room, disciplining one's kids, and strengthening one's church that real change begins to occur.

Baptists frequently argue that, to be consistent, Presbyterians should give both New Covenant signs to their children, baptism AND the Lord's Supper. This, I think, is a fair critique from our Baptist brothers.

Racism is not a sin.
But if any liberal Christian should wish to quarrel on this point, I would advise them to begin throwing stones at non-Whites who statistically show the highest level of racial in-group preference.

Happy Friday everyone! Wanted to finish out the week with another poll. I recently came across a debate I didn't know existed and I wanted to hear your thoughts. What is the Biblically proper way, if any, to treat a dead body?

There is a fringe group of Christians that belive referring to Jesus as Jesus and not Yashua is wrongful and in some cases sinful. Kinda similar to how JWs refer to God almost exclusively as Jehova.
They would say that Jesus' name in Hebrew is spelled using the same root "Yah" as Yahweh God, but it isn't. Nowhere in ancient Hebrew do we see that use, but that won't stop them from calling him that and using that as an argument for the trinity since they have the "same name". While yes, Jesus is Yahweh 100%, that's not a good argument and it serves to discredit the person arguing for that name.
