Our smilies have been raided. Now I'll have to make a boilerplate. :rolleyes:

Jay and I go way back. We practically have our own language. ;)

Sure, why not? Who is "the 'Christian' member of this site?" I don't understand the code, Jay. .

Odd that this "essential for salvation" business only comes up in objection to the 4th commandment. .

Satanic worship, by the way, is not as grievous as worship of the true Creator is glorious. This would be giving him far too much consideration. He is, after all, merely a created being and, while he is stirring up quite a ruckus, this only makes the worship of him a more than usual...

Religious liberty was not intended by the founding fathers to entitle "Christians" to persecute people who worship non-Judeo-Christian deities while doing no harm to other human beings. A "Christian" label can be placed on practically any belief system that doesn't openly defy Jehovah. Enough...

Thanks, but normally, folks usually only bring up the subject of prayer for the salvation of souls they suspect are lost. By the way, this is a current events subforum and thread. It shouldn't be so surprising to anyone that the emphasis of discussion here is along those lines. .

Perhaps you could explain why these ridiculous arguments didn't exist before the Internet was available to common folk. .

I don't understand this answer. It seems evasive. .

How do we know he is lost? .

By far, most common people can't afford a 401k or even to retire at all. Everyone can afford tithes and offerings, though. Matthew 6:19-21 — Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves...

It's relative, which is why I stipulated "best I can find." But, honestly, it's not that hard to recognize fairly dispassionate sources, unless one is naturally attracted to impassioned ones, whether positively or negatively so. And, when all else fails, a person can resort to some media bias...

Hollywood could never concoct anything as riveting as what's happening in American politics and the news media right now:

Stepping down? No more elder abuse...

I resent the term: "The Barney Fife Of Border Security" I'm in favor of border security bud nippin'.

The media machine is truly ingenious: https://stories-d.apexnews.com/news/detail/69294cbfef13dbeb3a02945081be6689?country=us&language=en&entry_id=2f1f655b240718en_us&request_id=PUSH_c0422e1e-b85a-4e41-b4af-6a8ce7891eb2&from=opera_push They'll say anything to get Biden out of the race now. The...

Okay Always a pleasure, Scott. :) .

I'm not excusing anyone for anything. You seem determined to find disagreement where I find none. Your "he that is not with us is against us" posture will not have any effect on me. I'm well used to it by now. I don't even regard my own apolitical position a fraction as much as you seem to...

I agree with nearly all you've said here, but it didn't start with Joe Biden. Or even Donald Trump, for that matter. Based on the best non-partisan information I can find, there's is no obvious difference between the fiscal responsibility behavior of these two men. Trump did, I believe...

Your point is valid, and made well enough and, while I wouldn't care to cross over into being disagreeable, I would tend to disagree with your interpretation. Linking Rev. 13 with Gen. 2 by means of a low-tier dictionary definition just seems more whimsical than hermeneutical, at least, to me...
