3+ week, 5+ day ago (709+ words) A United Kingdom-based developer has created a website that purportedly demonstrates how the Bible can be used to support two contradictory views on moral issues." Created by developer Jon James, the "Bible Both Ways" website, which launched mid-October, gives users the chance to submit a moral or ethical question and then, according to the site's premise, generates two contradictory responses found in the pages of Scripture. It works like any standard online search engine: type in your prompt, click the "Get Both Sides" button, and find out how, according to the site, "Scripture can be interpreted to support different perspectives on moral questions." "The site uses AI to take the user's claim and find the strongest passages that seem to argue both for and against that claim," James told The Christian Post on Wednesday.

3+ week, 6+ day ago (495+ words) Dear Mr. Vice President, As someone who left Islam and served Christ across the Middle East for 15 years, I must respond. The Archbishop began his letter saying,You will visit the Church of the Resurrection tomorrow and you will see doors open." But he failed to tell you that those doors are closed almost everywhere across the Islamic world,except in Israel. It is precisely because of Israel that Christians still have open churches, protected shrines, and access to the holy places of our faith, it is good to think of Aya Sophia as you read his letter. When Caliph Omar ibn al-Khattab invaded Jerusalem in the seventh century, he forced Christians to sign the humiliatingPact of Umar.Under it, Christians were forbidden to build new churches, to repair old ones, to ride horses, or to walk in the middle…...

5+ day, 1+ hour ago (1339+ words) Rian Johnson still remembers the youth-group nights in Orange County: the prayers, the Christian alt-rock bands, the deepening of a faith that framed his worldview. He remembers the beauty of it; friendship, community and grace, but also the darker edges, the distortions that can warp conviction into control. "I grew up very Christian," the 51-year-old director and founder of T-Street Productions told The Christian Post. "I wasn't just raised in a religious household. My relationship with Christ was really how I framed the world around me through my childhood, through my teenage years, into my early 20s, and it was a big, big part of my identity and my life." "It's very personal to me," he said. "I'm not a believer anymore, but it's something that carried through my whole life." The parishioners, devout churchgoer Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close,) groundskeeper Samson…...

The moderator introduced the discussion as the culmination of the Assembly's week-long reflections on mission and renewal. A four-level vision for disciple making Opening the conversation, David Kornfield outlined what he described as the four interdependent levels of disciple-making movements " a framework he said is critical if the Church is to withstand cultural shifts and generational decline. Without personal, relational discipleship, he said, even vibrant churches will falter. The second level is therefore a healthy disciple-making church, which fosters this culture collectively.
