    Please Pray for my niece, Lexie. She has leukemia

    It's been more than one.... But yes....things have changed drastically. I was on a construction job a couple years before my retirement and this woman a few years younger than me came up with lukemia (former armed servicemember) and the VA gave her a prescription and told her to go back to...

    Musk, Johnson, Vance, Lee, other GOP say Russia will win the war in Ukraine, impossible to lose, time to end US billions to Ukraine

    So.... You don't want an honest discussion about it at all. You just want to hurl propaganda instead of truth but claim your propaganda is true while name calling your "opponents". Sucks to be you.

    Why I love the Bible

    Only 11 Apostles.... How do 11 apostles speak 16 languages at the same time? Only one voice, lips, tongue per person. The miracle was in the hearing and not the speaking in this instance.

    Is real fellowship possible on an internet forum?

    Oh yes, It's possible. But the two (or more) have to be seeking it. That's not the majority of people who show up. But the blessed few who do....AMEN!!!!

    Why I love the Bible

    Yeah.... So the reality is that in Acts 2 the 11 Apostles spoke 16 languages.... Meaning....the Apostles weren't really speaking the foreign languages but the people were hearing 16 different languages. Musta been the sweet wine.

    Why I love the Bible

    TS2009 is the ONLY translation inspired by God. The naming conventions are much better and consistent than any other translation. Especially the KJV system which uses a mish-mash of rules to transcribe names. This translation was created by Christian Jews. (AKA Messianic Jews) Meaning...

    Why I love the Bible

    Each person who is capable of writing communicates. And with that communication their specific and unique personality comes through. With the Bible we have One person discussed and how they reacted to various situations. 40 different people wrote their perspective about what God is to them...

    Musk, Johnson, Vance, Lee, other GOP say Russia will win the war in Ukraine, impossible to lose, time to end US billions to Ukraine

    Russia doesn't have any viable nuclear missiles... Nuclear weapons are extremely expensive to maintain. Over $50 billion a year to keep ours up to date and viable. Russia hasn't spent anything on their nuclear arsenal. Elements like tritium have a half life of 20 years....they went bad at...

    Please Pray for my niece, Lexie. She has leukemia

    Yes it's working.... Lukemia is a form of cancer that is highly treatable anymore. It's not the same as it used to be. Better drugs and understanding of the disease than ever before. For some people it's just a prescription they take for a few months. For others it's the chemotherapy...

    Musk, Johnson, Vance, Lee, other GOP say Russia will win the war in Ukraine, impossible to lose, time to end US billions to Ukraine

    Not really, Victory in an asymmetric war doesn't look V Day from WW2. It will look like Russia abandoning the nation much like they did in Afghanistan in the 90's. Leaving only warlord farms and no infrastructure. So.... Where there's a train load of propaganda over two miles...

    Musk, Johnson, Vance, Lee, other GOP say Russia will win the war in Ukraine, impossible to lose, time to end US billions to Ukraine

    When you want to have a TRUTHFULL discussion instead of a propaganda war where you and I actually discuss what really happened between Russia and Ukraine then I'm going to participate. Because there's no benefit to tossing propaganda back and forth. I'm on the human side. Meaning that...

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    That's not quite what I meant.... The Apostles were asking Jesus a theological question similar to the Calvinism vx Arminian questions often debated on this board. (Jesus said "Neither" is correct because the question is incorrectly framed....see the parable of the soils for proper framing)...

    The Prophecy of the Popes or the "Pope is dead, long live the Pope"

    I have watched the Catholics somewhat since before John Paul. (One got voted in but immediately died before John Paul by forgetting to take his heart medication during his inauguration) And the current slate of Cardinals are NOT going to provide in a new Pope what your common rank and file...

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    It's how Satan ALWAYS gains an edge. Let's look at Joshua 1:8. Three tasks are given to EVERY person. Constantly recite scriptures (Meaning know them from memory) Meditate on scriptures....think about the requirements of God. Understand what scriptures intend for us to understand...

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    Who created life? Who is the Author of perfection? Who created sin/error? Not God's fault at all. It's human error that caused the problems....that error stemming from wanting something different from what God has gifted to you. Meaning what you want is wrong. Try again.

    Pope Francis has died

    Aside the differences between Protestants and Catholics. (Which will never be resolved) Pope Francis is NOT going to be missed by the devout Catholics from the USA or Africa....or even Italy for that matter. There are MANY calls by conservative Catholics for a new ultra conservative pope...

    Could I become a Christian in a year?

    This is still true for some Churches established behind the "Iron Curtain " in the former Soviet Union. (Slovakia) They lived in constant fear and evangelism was an extremely scary proposition. (But commanded by God) To this day they require years of attendance and service before someone is...

    Could I become a Christian in a year?

    Now a person not giving their life and heart but trying to live the lifestyle and fit in with the other Christians? That can take a minute or two. A year might not be enough. Wolves in sheep's clothing take a while to create.

    Could I become a Christian in a year?

    Ummmm It can happen in less than a day. Even in less than an hour. YMMV.

    How many worlds filled with people has God made?

    Ya know? I know people spend time thinking such thoughts... But the reality is that it doesn't matter. The closest planet that possibly contains any sort of life in the form of bacteria is 128 light years away. Which if we were to try to travel to.... If somehow we were to create a ship that...
