    I'm completely conservative, a man, who is completely in love with my childless cat lady wife. :love: Much love!

    Walking in circles has become an epidemic

    I found a 5 G tower this morning, and stopped to check it out. I looked carefully all the way around, and then checked again, then checked again, carefully, all the way around, then again, and I still didn't see anything unusual, so I checked again, then again, then again . . . :eek:

    Walking in circles has become an epidemic

    In the movie, as she's observing the cows at the slaughterhouse holding pens, she noticed that the cattle were calm as they went in a circle, and surmised it was because they felt like they were merely returning to where they had just been, and therefore felt safe. So to keep them moving in a...

    Hosea 12:13-14:9 and John 1:51

    Reminds me of, Hebrews 10:19-22 KJV 19) Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20) By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21) And having an high priest over the house of God; 22)...

    Effective faith

    That was what sprang to my mind, "pointless and fruitless" in whose opinion? 1 Timothy 4:15 KJV Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. When you read the verses before this, there are any number of things that Timothy is to meditate on...

    Effective faith

    Well, he did say, pointless and fruitless, so, as we discuss these faith building things like the rapture and our resurrection, that's not included. In fact, it's a great way to have a pure life! 1 John 3:2-3 KJV 2) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall...

    How many People Think the Jews Could Be Wrong?

    No, what I'm saying is this. The man of sin sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God. He sits in the temple of God giving evidence that he himself actually is God. What is the evidence, or proof, that he is God as he "sits in the spiritual temple"? It sounds like you are...

    Is faith a work?

    You're saying then that we don't choose to believe, rather, God chooses us, and we believe as a result of His choice, is that right? Much love!

    How many People Think the Jews Could Be Wrong?

    I don't understand how that will make a demonstration that the man of sin is God. Isn't that what he's doing sitting in the temple? Showing that he is God? It's like, he's making a presentation of himself as Deity, God Himself. Do you know what I'm asking? How is that "proof"? Much love!

    Is faith a work?

    Romans goes on to tell us that we've all received "a measure of faith", so I agree that faith is given to us. Although I don't think that this passage teaches that. I think the meaning of this passage is that God determined salvation to be by faith instead of works because not all were given...

    Is faith a work?

    They wanted to do the works of God. Jesus answered expaining God's work was not that they should work, but that they should believe in Jesus. There's no irony here, Jesus redirected their focus. "Believing" is not a work, and has no merit, it's an acceptance of reality, or more precisely, the...

    What was motivating Paul to be so diligent?

    1 Corinthians 9:16-18 KJV 16) For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 17) For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    That reminds me of another of those evident proofs of the globular earth. Comparing flight times between, say, New York and London, and, say, Rio De Janeiro and Cape Town, show the flat earth concept false, or "southern route" aircraft very very fast! Much love!

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    I finally voted. Other, I'll explain . . . slightly ovoid. The equator bulges, the poles flatten. Really though I find it so very hard to believe that this discussion goes on as it does in this day. I've had a good friend who was into the flat earth idea. I've watched the debate, I've...

    No, I don't think it does. Both are quoting from a third source, the actual Enoch. Much love!

    If Dem elections are rigged Republicans can kiss their butts goodbye

    Ditto with California. Universal mail in ballots started in 1994, and starting 1996 our democrat run state gov just grew and grew until the horrible state of affairs we have today. Much love!

    If Dem elections are rigged Republicans can kiss their butts goodbye

    I don't think the answer is to duplicate their bad deeds. We need a proper election, paper ballots, 1 voting day, in person, with ID, votes counted at the polling place the same day. Give us that, and we will win. Much love!

    It's Go Time, Trump Announces Run!

    He never called for a mandate, and said it shouldn't be. We shouldn't assume he'd have changed course later. Much love!
