You’ve probably heard it said. “All of the Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—they all worship the same God.” More and more today, we hear such things from the mouths and tweets of idealized and uninformed westerners.
It has been a while since we wandered into the nebulous aspects of theology. So let’s sharpen our theological swords and see what we can parse.

Three common errors cause Christians to fail in having the proper regard for Christ’s earthly church and its officers and its organization.
For discussion - does the New Testament allow women to lead music during worship services? What saith the Scriptures? I’m curious as to what this community thinks on this issue. In most fundamental-evangelical circles, this hasn’t been traditionally done. Is this Biblical?

David was the king that Yahweh had promised (Gen. 17:4-6, 16; Deut. 17:14-15). His reign came some four centuries after God had said that He would “surely set a king over you” (Deut. 17:15), and not much shy of a millennium after the covenant made with Abraham. God never seems to be in a hurry.
