    Under God’s eternal plan, you Never will be conformed to the image of His Son unless you are called.

    predestination vs freewill

    No. It is trustworthy. But it does at times use one English word to translate numerous Greek words, like hell, judge, etc. For example, Hades and Gehenna are both translated hell. But they are not the same.

    predestination vs freewill

    In a permissive, not causative, sense. God permits evil to exist and demonstrates His Power and Holiness by judging it. Just as God raised up Pharoah in Exodus for that very purpose, to demonstrate His Power against the false gods of Egypt

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    At least we know that everything that is hidden will be brought to light eventually. The things we see are the top of the iceberg, but it will all come to light one way or another.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    Every day it seemed like the media and the Left was telling a new lie about Trump. I fact checked and caught them in lies numerous times.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    PS- while Trump had a lot of faults (but I am not one to throw stones) , I look at the people who opposed him and the dishonest methods they used in attacking him, and think that while he made mistakes, it appears that the insidious people opposed him for a reason. So I think he was preferable...

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    It’s ridiculous that they can fire you for not submitting yourself to be a guinea pig for a drug that has not been properly screened and you can also be denied your rightful unemployment that you may use until you find another job. I’m glad my employer doesn’t require me to get the vaccine. I...

    And my opinion is that any company or employer that requires you to get a vaccine should be held accountable if there are harmful side effects long term.
