In the interest of balance, let's be fair. If you spread the virus--say, through recklessness--and that causes someone to die who otherwise would have lived, then there is motive to take measures to stop the spread. Without virus: person A lives, with preexisting health conditions. With...

I personally have a not-quite-immediate family member who recovered from Covid, and in our church, one of our member's Dad died of it. His wife also got it, recovered (although not 100%), and now gets to live life without him. I do not doubt that the numbers are off, and sometimes even...

It's a state income tax. So if you work there for more than 14 days, you are required to file, and crunch all those numbers of your income that you made all year. It may break down that you owe New York, even though you didn't make a dime there. Similar thing happens if you are a US citizen...

Actually, I am surprised. NYC is in the middle of the Covid crisis. People are dying. Even the leaders who make these decisions are personally at risk. Their hospitals are inundated, and Samaritan's Purse wanted to help. Surely they would have laid down their swords this one time? Do...

Here we go, straight from samaritanspurg.org. I don't know why this board removed my thread. Kind of hard to call it "fake news" when the organization itself says it is closing. https://www.samaritanspurse.org/article/franklin-graham-thanks-medical-team-as-central-park-hospital-closes/

Re-posting about Samaritan's Purse here, even though it's a topic unto itself and not the same one. (???) Samaritan's Purse getting kicked out of New York, not allowed to help Covid patients This Christian organization set up shop in Central Park in New York City quite some time ago, to...

35 out of 40 people arrested in Brooklyn for social distancing were black. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/08/us/nypd-social-distancing-35-of-40-people-arrested-black-trnd/index.html Meanwhile, a rabbi dies, in New York. Jews flat out defy the social distancing ordinance and show up. Not...

Why did my thread about Samaritan's Purse in the Covid crisis get deleted with no notification, nothing?!???

Very illuminating. However, I think we already knew that the health care system is in a pretty sad state. At the end of the day, though, it's about people--not any system. It looks like these people care more about not getting sued than they do the patients, and so they work to bring this...

I think a lot of us look to the internet when we are lonely. Especially during this Covid crisis, when the internet is just about all the connection we have. I have taken to the internet myself during lonely times, both as a single and married. What I would say about it is, the internet can...

Micah 6:8, too. The choir understands. :) Now, how do we reach these people obsessed with holidays?

We need to stop looking to the governments for our statistics. Hospitals can track their own numbers, far more trustworthily, and they can task individuals with compiling those numbers, without the government's "help". Granted, that would only get us the numbers for the hospitals, but still...

This Christian organization set up shop in Central Park in New York City quite some time ago, to help people afflicted with Covid. As you know, their hospital system was inundated, having trouble accommodating everybody. So health care workers from out-of-state came in to help, through the...

Maybe someone born on February 29th. They died of old age at age 20.

We have zero originals of the New Testament manuscripts, so I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to prove with the papyrus. There is zero reference to Jerusalem being razed in Revelation, and in fact measuring the Temple, in Jerusalem, was described as a future event. Plus Domitian in...

But if it's not done on the exact days you're supposed to, it seems it doesn't count. Apparently.

Wow, July 4th? Really? So are Canadians allowed to observe Canada Day on July 1st, or is this really all about trying to get people to observe Jewish holidays only?

I don't want to get into hyperbole, but in fairness, Genesis 6:6 does say that God regretted ever creating Man. How can one regret something if he knew what he was doing all along? How can one later come to regret something if they aleady knew the future?

This thread has derailed into a predestination thread. I don't believe the OP was that. In my book, sure okay--everything was predestined. Whatever happened earlier today, was predestined to happen the day before. I can read any novel, skip to the end, then go back to Chapter 1, and I know...

What I heard was that anyone who does not believe in a "literal" 7-year tribulation is delusional. Yet translating the Greek word "genea" as "generation" seems pretty reasonable to me. At least, if you are a Bible translator, and not just someone trying to make the pieces of Revelation...
