    House of David

    Agree completely.... The director has destroyed the story and remade the characters.... To what purpose? It's no longer a true story or an interesting one. The ONLY reason to watch it is to see David kill Goliath. That's it.... The rest of the story they created out of whole cloth is...

    How Willing/Good Would You Be At Accepting A Completely Different Love Language Than Your Own?

    YES....it most definitely can change and shift. Sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. But TRUE LOVE is described in Corinthians 13. Meaning.... That you adjust your behaviors to align with your love interests love language. If it's words of affirmation....you give them...

    House of David

    And I have to ask their reasoning behind why not make it more biblically accurate? The elements of a great story are there. All of them. Where do you think all the great stories retold over and over (albeit different characters) come from? They did a disservice to themselves and...

    House of David

    David, Outside of Jesus, is one of the most described people in scriptures. Everything from appearance to attitudes and personality. It amazes me how wrong they can get the guy. It's a wonder they all aren't speaking Elizabethan era English. They spent a lot of money but somehow...

    Ham saw his father naked, why Noah cursed Canaan (Son of Ham) instead of Ham?

    Because people today in our Westernized mindsets don't understand Ancient Near Eastern mindsets. Or Prophets for that matter. Noah was telling the truth about Canaan and his future because Ham was going to cause this curse by his own attitudes and values he was going to instill into Canaan...

    House of David

    House of David is a movie series on Prime Video. And many in my SS class have been caught up watching this movie series to watch David kill Goliath. And I wanted your opinion about this. After watching the first episode I already have opinions forming. I just wanted a forum to discuss...

    Have Front Porches Gone the Way of the Dinosaur? (Are Front Porches Extinct?)

    Then you would absolutely love my old Queen Anne Victorian....it has that wrap around porch...complete with fans, swings, and gingerbread trim. Come by, I got ice tea in a pitcher and a comfy place to sit and jaw for a while.

    What is the Definition of Failure?

    Success is the opposite of failure.... And how YOU define success in your life determines whether or not you have failed or are a failure. Because until you achieve success....you are a failure. Success can be measured in many ways....and something that you somehow cannot obtain.....or...

    Does Repenting of Lust Repeatedly Fail Because We're Not Actually Digging Out the Root of the Problem?

    Lust is a warping of natural desires. Instead of desiring love and to be loved/desired people desire a thrill wrapped in an experience. Hormones pushing this even further. And the pleasing appearance of another somehow makes it better? (It doesn't) These "pretty" people spend 40-100+...

    Does the Bible ever say who is elected or chosen?

    Called vx chosen. Chosen (as when Jesus used both terms together) is a reference to a title given by Jews. That's the title "Born From Above". "Born from above" refers to those unique individuals who have passion for God and are given specific, special tasks by God to fulfill. This can...

    Does the Bible ever say who is elected or chosen?

    Chosen is another matter. Adoniram Judson was called. George Lyle was Chosen. Billy Sunday was called Billy Graham was Chosen. Need I go further?

    Does the Bible ever say who is elected or chosen?

    God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. It's repeated ad nauseum many many times in many ways. It ought to be a huge blue paw print...AKA a CLUE.

    A weaving machine?

    Personally, I believe that you could make these looms for much much cheaper than they are selling them for. And better quality. Adding HDPE or sheet metal in spots and changing their and your designs a little. Which could be a great ministry program for those wishing to make rugs...

    Is This a Red Flag??

    It's usually not what you think. He doesn't actually care about former girlfriends like he cares about you at the moment. But for whatever reason he is believing that your relationship will end because he believes he will fail for some unknown reason (like he has in the past). And pictures...

    A weaving machine?

    But look at this website.... https://woolery.com/weaving/weaving-looms.html They have looms for sale.....various ones. Not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. A few thousand dollars for each. Table top like your original idea.

    A weaving machine?

    Well, It's a niche idea that might not be stolen so quickly. Those hand crank knitting machines may be mass produced but every Michael's and Hobby Lobby has some on the shelf. And nobody I know of makes a different one. Contact them....see if they want in on it. See if they want to buy...

    What Could Possibly Be Better Than Bacon?!

    BBQ ribs fresh off the grill are great too. So is fresh, homemade sourdough Baggett.... Then home Made ice cream fresh out of the freezer..... Cookies still warm from the oven.

    Trumps Tariffs

    If the interest rates continue to decline... And exports increase, and manufacturing increases as well.... Then things will be OK. Job changes will be coming. Robotics maintenance will be crucial for the upcoming decade. (For career opportunities) So....if we can survive, the changes...

    A weaving machine?

    I get that you need money. But you need to be careful about sharing your machines until such a time as you have them securely patented and ALL variations patented. Engineers like my deceased grandfather worked on various things and patented them working around existing patents....and got...
