    Instagram-famous squirrel euthanized after it was taken from owners in New York

    They took it simply because it brought someone joy and happiness but happened to be from the "wrong" political persuasion. Meaning.... It's getting really scary to be a voice in the process anymore.

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    Right....I lost you from the first words I said obviously. The essence of scriptures is the essence of God. You want to know God? Then know the scriptures. Ignorance of scriptures, that you have full access to, can kill you not in mortal life but your immortality is gonna be real iffy...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    I would not say "loosely speaking". The standard Protestant English Bibles ARE the Wörd of God. Not just the words but God's essence in EVERY language. The Gospel of John, chapter 1 verse 14 explains that Jesus is the Wörd made flesh. So while you might have your excuses and point at...

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

    Why? Why would God think such a thing? Think of a programmer deleting a line of code he wrote that didn't work appropriately.

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

    Because you are not applying one of the most important hermeneutics to the scriptures you have listed here. The originalist viewpoint. In our world today it is considered not only uncouth to label someone as a racist or hold prejudices against others outside of your "group" it is a charge...

    Running The Race

    And that story....I love it. Abraham is 99 years old in the story. His running is not going to be the same as a 30-somethings speed or agility. He is heavy set and old. But that the scriptures said that he ran is completely outside the box to get Sarah (and her servants) to knead up 60-75...

    Running The Race

    This one is also especially interesting. It was considered a complete disgrace to lose all your money to the Gentiles. And a son taking his share of family money also is shameful. So...in this instance... It is as if ALL propriety had been lost at this point for the family....a little...

    Running The Race

    Paul talks about "running the race towards Christ" But running in the Ancient Near East was completely undignified. No respectable Adult ran ever...they walked. The most famous instance of "running" was when Peter ran to the Tomb of Jesus. But... This is the Bible Study forum...

    Biden Judge forces VA to put 1600 self attested non citizens back on the voter rolls

    First off... The 1600 are a joke. That's a drop in the bucket of the illegal voters on the roles of voters in Virginia. They removed 1600 but not the hundreds of thousand of ineligible voters on the roles. So where they are arguing over 1600...it's a joke. We need Federal involvement in...

    Run AWAY from Calvinism!

    This question of Arminianism v Calvinism is at least as old as the New Testament itself. The story of the man born blind in John's Gospel details this argument. Which Jesus said "BOTH SIDES ARE WRONG". And the arguing about this is especially wrong. The parable of soils is the truth...

    Daniel Chapter 8 - the 2300 evenings and mornings prophecy

    When Daniel made this prophecy the Temple was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt. There were no offerings being made whatsoever. And no current plans to send the Jews back to Israel to restore the Temple. Each day two offerings of incense are to be made in the Temple with prayers. A morning...

    Daniel Chapter 8 - the 2300 evenings and mornings prophecy

    The time and date of the prophesy is also important. Cannot isolate a single verse without the others. And EXACTLY the number of incense offerings missed is the number of days and hours until the sanctuary and altar was set right and the evening offering was made....praying for Israel and...

    Elect according to the foreknowledge of God

    "I left the 99 to find the one....and you're the One" Parable of the soils here... As well as the Master Potter. Guess who is the clay. And some types of clay don't make carafes....they make chamber pots. Are the Calvinists the "chamber pots" of Christiandom?

    Mail in ballots in some neighborhoods being thrown away

    Well, this just means I get to vote as many times as I can. I probably need to do it at least ten to twenty times. It's the Halloween vote....where the dead come to life to vote.

    How should Christians tell people that their gay loved one's lifestyle is displeasing to God?

    When you have a genuine real relationship with God... Sin flees! Of course all the perversion in your life goes away. And as far as telling someone that they are sinning? No need. They KNOW it's sin. Even if they claim that God approves of their perversion. They still know its wrong...

    PLEASE SHARE WITH ME information you have from before 1800CE of the Resurrection of Jesus as reason for Christian Sunday keeping ?

    Why? This is not difficult information to locate. A simple Google or duck search should pop up the answer for you. I don't believe I can search any better than you. Although you might not like the answers. And the REAL question is.... Is the Mosaic Covenant still in effect for us? How about...

    Two Christians thrown out of Kamala's rally speak on what happened

    Hitler and his propaganda machine were Lutheran. That was the state religion in Germany and it was never left out for his agenda. That's because Hitler at one point wanted to become a Lutheran priest. But there is no doubt that the propaganda machine elevated him and his ideals over the...
