    Apology, Confession

    But, if I may, seriously thank you for tolerating me. I genuinely mean well. Like, thanks for not kicking or blocking me. It's so nice to have some place that hasn't yet so I'm genuinely trying not to screw it up. May you be blessed!

    Apology, Confession

    Nah. No one wants to hear this. I apologize for bothering you all yet again. Maybe I'll stay gone now :)

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    The -ism suffix is always employed to facilitate dismissal of more difficult points of contention. It's as if to say, "I need not address the point you contend, as greater men have already settled the matter." If the aforementioned men of supposed greatness didn't make it into the Bible, I...

    Deception Doesn't Look Like Deception

    Deception convinces but truth makes certain.

    Deception Doesn't Look Like Deception

    I get where you are coming from here and I am not disagreeing with you. I am attempting to clarify and distinguish. What do we have if not the proper enthronement of God in our lives? Is there really a "cost" to seeking truth? Yes, there is risk, it requires boldness, and is dependent on...

    "True" Israel?

    I apologize, I meant to commend your point made here. Yes, the Law made possible the forgiveness and acceptance from God! But how? By highlighting the reality and presence of God for His people to properly revere as well as providing opportunity for propitiation by way of demonstration of...

    "True" Israel?

    The Law is perfect and from it we can derive wisdom. You contort my words to suit your views, I have only praise for the Law, as I seek to observe it as fully as I am presently able. It is a work in progress because I have so much to learn, yet. But I have tremendous reverence for the Law, by...

    "True" Israel?

    I assert my understanding sufficient for response to your attempt to corral my words into some -ism you identify as a 'duality,' as I stand as singular as the God in whom I believe. It is a permanent fix indeed, the insufficiency of the Law to bring men to the Eternal was already exposited by...

    "True" Israel?

    Oof. Correction.

    PTSD destroyed my life , any advice

    When I was assessed with PTSD, I saw it as a diagnosis at first; a condition in need of treatment. Eventually I came to see it as overstimulating memories; pain that inspires combat against recollection itself. Memories are not your enemy; what you fight is how you respond to them. I believe...

    "True" Israel?

    But it's not the end, yet, and there are presently "pseudokristos" in abundance. Understanding absent faith is illusory to begin with, but belief is not just an individual perogative, it is every man's imperative. Men used to abandon themselves to the licentious deity of their choice. Today...

    Does reading the Bible make people stupid? - It doesn't have to, but...

    Not at all, the Bible is a buffet of light. Didn't you know Jesus said to eat and drink Him? Well, you know how the Prophets wrote about eating and drinking the Word of God, right? Bible reading is an acquired taste, and some people just aren't going to eat their Truth until God makes them...

    The broad spectrum of Christianity VERSUS the narrow-minded view

    Not those of the word church, only those of the Root; the chosen; the elect. Those who are waiting to die before speaking with Him are in for an awkward conversation.

    Democrats acting childish during State of the Union, will not stand for grieving parents of Iryna

    To be fair, politicians are often rather effective in their representations of those populations guilty of electing them.

    Is the "free gift" of salvation really free? - Honestly?

    If I gave away free cars, what do you think would happen? It is not catastrophizing to anticipate destruction correllary to the quantity produced and distributed to all who ask. Do you think the roads would be safe? Do you think drivers, in general, would improve in their courtesy and...
