    Dozens arrested in one day, ICE raids Los Angeles... protesters gather

    As a result of the riots.... Gavin Newsom is in trouble with his constituents. People have a long list of complaints about the man. He could be facing yet another recall vote over his handling of the LA situations just like Bass could. The complaints by Newsom over Trump's assistance with...

    The participants are delusional. Like really delusional and a result of over has top rhetoric by Democrat politicians. Which is kinda scary....that people can be duped so easily.

    Mega-Church Vs Small-Church

    I like Mega Churches.... The small groups are numerous and awesome. When the large congregation joyfully sings songs in unison.....it's so awesome. Sure, there are some schmucks in the congregation.....people are gonna people. But it's better than nothing.

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Nope.... By a well reasoned faith backed by sound doctrine and logical arguments. Meaning you need to be able to give an answer for what you believe and why you believe it. I can do that . I've met few others who can anymore with any depth....despite all the youtube videos with "Mr...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    I'm not going to claim innocence for studying so much that my head was always in the clouds and I was no longer capable of reacting the way that I should when in an easy basket range for the two point basket. (Unguarded too....basket ball metaphor) But....stepping back the Bible indeed has...

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    The bible was penned by men led by the Holy Spirit to convey thoughts and ideas to a decided and defined audience. That audience was (at the latest) 2,000 years ago in a culture that has little resemblance to ours in a language that does not share the same construction or parts of speech...

    How was your day?

    My wife has suggested the same thing....we got an extension office but it's in the next county. (Ours is a very small county) Since our house and lot is 130 years old. I got a feeling that it is just overfarmed and contaminated for decades and is just in crap shape. People pour out junk on...

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Don't confuse poetry and Spiritual.... Massive error. The Spirit causes poetry....not Poetry Driving the Spiritual. We MUST approach the scriptures with ALL soberness and respect for what they are. GOD'S direct speech to us using his favorite people. Do not rewrite. Add to, or take away...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Because people invent sin very creatively. It's human's defining characteristic. The "Talmud" is a term to reference Jewish religious fiction. This is the bulk of what people wish to add to the Scriptures. It has stories, songs, and tales and all kinds of stuff...Jesus referenced the...

    Envisioning Heaven: No more donuts or football?

    I cured myself of donut shop donuts.... All It required a recipe. I mixed, rolled, cut and proofed some donuts. Then fried them and glazed them with two glazes....even the donut holes. They made the donut shop donuts taste like a mere shadow of what is really good. Now these are gut...

    How was your day?

Moved and retired....now I got pecan trees (9) not all producing, a grape arbor (2 out of 4 producing this year which is not bad for its second year) an herb garden on the back deck (scheduled for demolition) and a little side yard garden plot and one...

    How was your day?

    My day was kinda rough. Went back to the doctor cause the antibiotics didn't do the trick so I got new scripts and TWO shots in the backside. Did get the shingles but I'm gonna need to cut them. Found some siding planks but they were sold out. Uggghhhh. Then went home and accidentally...

    Envisioning Heaven: No more donuts or football?

    Your understanding is too limited by the experiences that you have had. Just like none of the prophets could imagine internet discussion forums or even television YOU have zero chance of understanding Heaven. You have nothing to base your ideas upon. Football and donuts, as fun and as...

    Restoration.....

    Yeah....I'll try later today/tomorrow. Thus house is in Southern Georgia USA.... In the middle of a tiny county and even smaller city.. Basically so far off the beaten path that three cars at the only street light for 30 miles around constitutes a traffic jam for rush hour.
