Protestantism

I'm unable to find such a phrase in the bible, and I bothered to search the online versions nonetheless.

I'm sure there is a verse of verses that speak somewhat about this topic, and know for sure that there are mentions of "knowledge will increase," I believe in the End Times™, which sure, has "come to pass."

But this is less than an impressive "prophecy" of course, since it is simply the nature of any society, barring some kind of catastrophic even that would destroy such accumulated knowledge, that a society very naturally increases it's knowledge over time. It would be something like myself professing that decades from now, I will be older, and so long as I am still alive (and analogously, if that society's knowledge has not been catastrophically destroyed), "it shall come to pass," I assure you. It's not a prophecy, but a very simply prediction based on the very obvious facts of life.

And as far as the "weaker" element, I am sorry, but I do not recall reading such a verse, though it may very well be in there, yes. In fact, I would not be surprised. It is a common creationist misrepresentation to make that claim that we are degrading, that our recent ancestors were over a dozen feet tall, lives hundred or years, Noah himself living somewhere around 900...

But claims are just claims, when there is not one scrap of evidence to support them, after-all. Not to cause any offense, that is not my intention, but this is me honestly answering a question, with as much information that I can provide since the phrase seems not to exist in the Bible.

In summary.....

Yes, knowledge has increased, we have become "wiser" as societies and individuals thanks you education. But so has the sun set tonight should i have "prophesied" it this morning. It's a natural fact of society and life, that we learn more and more as we life, and as societies, we pass on that knowledge, thus extending the knowledge over generations just as I will know more in 10 years than I do now.

But no, the baseless claim that we are degrading as a species, or at least as a human species, is not in fact the case, and it has be proven time and time again, to the point of a very secure conclusion that we are neither becoming "stronger" nor are we becoming "weaker," since it is not about strength, but an overall compilation of traits that either benefit, are neutral to, or harm survival. In the case that such minor changes harm survival, it is eventually over generations "weeded out" in a process of natural selection, since a lesser ability to survive, is directly an eventually at least, lesser ability to pass on that harmful or less beneficial DNA. Just the same, a minor change which is very advantageous, could overcome even the neutral ones.

But LONG, LOOOOONG, very scientifically proven story short, we are not in fact becoming weaker, no. As far as our societies, well we have had bloody conflict and "not nice" goings on for all of recorded history, so while I would agree there is certainly SO much room for improvement, even as societies, we are pretty much "par for the course."

So as a last thought, my advice to you, and you are welcome to think about it or reject it without consideration.... Would be to not really worry about such a verse, since half of it is not unlike predicting a sunset when you wake up, and the other half of it has not happened, and seems to be a bit of a swing and a miss on the part of the writers of whichever book(s) of the Bible that sure, likely spoke of such a think.

I hope that helps a bit, even though I was unable to find any such phrase in the Bible, and I hope you have a great day!!

Bad stewardship is not taking care of the riches that have been bestowed upon believers. For example, having a large fortune but not investing it--and, instead, wasting it on worldly pleasures--would be considered bad stewardship because one is not using one's riches in a self-sufficient manner.

It is difficult to determine an exact number, but the flat earth belief is considered a fringe theory with a small number of adherents compared to the majority who accept the round earth scientific consensus. Social media and online platforms have helped amplify their visibility, but they do not represent a significant portion of the population.

Presently there are over 7,000 applications to the government for recognition as a church. The Kenya government is hostile toward Christian churches and so takes its time of granting about 60-70 churches a month recognition. As you can see the numbers are not good. Many Christian pastors waiting on their official recognition have continued to have church and have been arrested and put in jail. If you are seeking to make application, obtain the required forms, submit them to the right office, and be prepared to pay 160,000 KS to for the license. There is a lot of fraud in Kenya. You may elect to use a qualified lawyer. In the mean time, to have legal authority it may be quicker and safer to contact an already licensed church, work under that church, pay a fee for the cover charge, and then wait until approved. In this way, at least you can collect some donations. The only downside to this, is if your cover wants a bigger cut and is greedy, he may terminate your association and turn you in to be arrested and put in jail. Many so-called groups there are not real churches, they are money-making scams. The best way to handle this is to get official government recognition. Or, go underground and take your risks.

Yes, it is appropriate to bring flowers to a wake as a gesture of sympathy and support for the family of the deceased. Common choices include muted and neutral colors such as white, cream, or pastels. It is also considerate to consider the customs and preferences of the family or the specific cultural practices surrounding wakes.

To become a Professional Learning Community (PLC), educators need to engage in a continuous cycle of collaborative inquiry, reflection, and action to improve student learning outcomes. This involves establishing shared values and goals, engaging in data-driven decision-making, providing ongoing professional development, and fostering a culture of trust and collaboration among staff members. PLCs require a commitment to collective responsibility and a growth mindset to sustain a culture of continuous improvement.

Yes, the word "Evangelical" should be capitalized when referring to the Evangelical Christian movement or tradition.

There are approximately 800 million Protestants in the world, making it one of the largest Christian denominations. Protestants follow various denominations such as Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, and Pentecostal.

over 30,000 churches worldwide

There is no definitive number, but it is estimated that around 500 million women worldwide identify as Christian. The exact figure may vary due to factors such as religious affiliation, denominational differences, and cultural contexts.

Right now Guatemala has a the highest percentage of Protestant with about 25%.

Very much so! God may give us 'three score years and ten' but he also gives us the time we have to make the most of life. Jesus said 'I come to give you life and life in is fullness', so never feel that you are too old for anything. Don't forget, Picasso did his best paintings in his 80s, John Glenn went into space in his 70s. A friend of mine taught himself to play the church organ (including pedals!) having never touched a note before, when he was 75 and now he plays Bach preludes and fugues at the wonderful age of 92 years young. So after 70 you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

John Wycliffe believed that the Scriptures should be accessible to all people in their vernacular language so they could have a direct relationship with God without the need for intermediaries such as the clergy. He also emphasized the importance of personal piety and moral living as the true path to God.

Under the doctrine (rules) of the Church of England (the Anglican Church) the authority of the British monarch (currently Queen Elizabeth) is supreme. In practice the Queen delegates this authority either to the parliament or to the leaders of the church.

Strictly speaking "denomination" is the better term for your question than "religion". Denominations are the subdivisions or varieties within a religion.

Within Christianity there are many denominations. The denominations which are called Protestant share common roots in the Reformation of Roman Catholicism in the 16th century.

Some examples of Protestant denominations would include: Lutheran, Baptist, Anglican/Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Evangelical Reformed, Methodist, and Congregationalist.

The term "blue nose protestant" does not have a clear definition or widely recognized meaning. However, "blue nose" historically referred to someone who was perceived as overly strict or puritanical in their religious beliefs or practices. "Protestant" refers to a religious group that originated during the Protestant Reformation and includes various Christian denominations. Combining these terms, it could possibly imply someone who is very strict or conservative in their Protestant beliefs and practices.

When my Neice died, the back yard seemed to fill with Monarchs. When my sister and mother died, similar things happened. When one of my other Nieces graduated in an outdoor ceremony of about 150 grads, a lone flew in and landed on her. Whenever my wife and I are in our back yard, monarchs seem to visit. We think that this is is the way that those who are no longer with us just letting us know that when we leave this earth, everything is alright and they are with God.

No. Paul's Epistles in the New Testament discuss the question of whether or not Christians need to be circumcised, and he says that they don't. For this reason circumcision is not a part of Christianity. Some Christian boys have been circumcised for other reasons, but there is no religious reason for circumcision.

Narcissism is a rare personality disorder that requires a specific diagnosis. Additionally, narcissists typically don't lie much. Your boss sounds more like an ego-centric who twists the truth to support him or herself. I would file a formal complaint with HR and get others in your department to do the same. Document the issues in writing so you have support. I am in that situation now and it is horrible!! Only thing I can say is document, document, document!! The boss I work for is a narcissistic and right now we (meaning he and I) communicate through a third party via his request. His office is directly in front of my desk and whenever I need his signature on a document, I have to get up, walk around the corner give it to the third party, she then walks it back pass my desk and gives it to him. Now, you see the predictament I'm in. All I can say is pray. go to their higher ups and state your beef! Narcissists most certainly do lie. The truth is irrelevant to them. What I did? I quit. It's not worth it.
