    Yahavah's name, God's name. Is it important? Did God deem it important?

    We are Americans.... When I visited Slovakia teaching children to speak English....I taught them tongue twisters to assist them with their pronunciations. (Betty with batter and butter) So then they tried to get me to do one of theirs....they tied my esophagus in knots. I simply couldn't...

    Yahavah's name, God's name. Is it important? Did God deem it important?

    When encountering someone clumsily pronouncing God's name.... Do you still know who it is they are talking about? Does everyone? Or do they mistake it for the Hindu God? The Chinese philosphers? Some African Tribal god?

    Yahavah's name, God's name. Is it important? Did God deem it important?

    Wait a minute..... While you guys are getting hung up on God's tag name and dance around the focus... God's name is more than a tag or mispronounced tag. It's a descriptive title. One that EVERYONE contributes to as to its attributes.... And it belongs solely to God. And since it's...

    Trump "No tax on tips"....now Kamala has stolen Trump's idea! LOL

    Considering that it was a Democrat led congress that created the tax....yeah. And Trump really annoys the Democrats by actually following through on campaign promises.... What I'd actually like to see instead....but I'm a complete pessimist with respect to politicians is tax exempt/credit...

    Trump "No tax on tips"....now Kamala has stolen Trump's idea! LOL

    This was a really really bad idea on her part. I've never seen someone do a worse job as a presidential candidate as she currently is. Openly and blatantly stealing the opponents platform? Trump has a license to now label her as a theif. (expecting it during debates). Then her AI...

    Do you believe the Genesis account of Adam & Eve, or you believe it's symbolic?

    The Creation Narrative is both literal and figurative at the same time. It's Hebrew Poetic Literature written in a time when words written were extremely expensive. The Creation and Fall narrative is not a complete history of a minutia of details that will bore your average reader....it's a...

    Is it better to die as a baby and go to Heaven or die at 90 and go to Heaven?

    Is someone trying to spill tea? "Let us do evil so good can result?" Hummmmm

    TIME FOR THIS POPE TO GO....

    Well I thought that it was a bit more "bold" and aggressive than your normal manner of speaking and I attributed it to your being upset....but it was after the bold type so I thought that it was you who typed it. My apologies....and I couldn't fix it....time had expired. But I did happen...

    TIME FOR THIS POPE TO GO....

    I copied it as a selection out of your opening post (shortly before the videos) ....at least I thought it was one of yours on the first page. Just checked and it is a quote of your opening post. I'm sorry if it offends you. But it does summarize your complaint very well and is...

    TIME FOR THIS POPE TO GO....

    @GodsGrace said: Those who malign the CC and are changing it in all the wrong ways can stay.... Those who attempt to keep the CC as it has been and not change its doctrine to satisfy the modern world are fired. This is highly problematic....very problematic. Where you might find your local...

    END OF LIFE ETHICAL ISSUES

    Faced feeding tube situation myself from my mother's passing. She got Sepsis and they gave her a feeding tube. It was uncomfortable for her but extended her life. But the overriding condition that caused her Sepsis (disintegrating digestive/bowel tract) to begin with was of course not going...

    END OF LIFE ETHICAL ISSUES

    *sigh* I have always admired the Catholics stance on life....granted it seems draconian to many but it was simple and clear. No birth control or abortion of any sort and no euthanasia. From an opinion of "Always err on the side of life". Fairly simplistic and probably overly so....but...

    Ukraine is winning the war!

    I'm not sure that your conclusions are valid Even though you get many facts correct. The latest invasion of Russia by Ukraine is a huge dilemma for Russia. They will need to actually pull troops from the front lines to repel Ukrainian forces. (Incurring gained ground losses) The political...

    Walz is toast if this goes viral!!!

    Here's what.... Go to Kamala's website and look for platform issues.... Then go to Trump's and do the same. Kamala has no platform....just wants your money. Trump wants your money too but has a platform of 10 immediate things he wants to do.

    Tobacco has a lot of negatives as reported by the prohibitionist, it is highly addictive also, what are the positives to use?

    I have no idea in truth. I only know what the health professionals have personally told me. I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on the internet. (Unlike so many others) It's truly a roll of the dice....or better yet making choices and praying to God and hoping he blesses the outcome. (Not...

    Tobacco has a lot of negatives as reported by the prohibitionist, it is highly addictive also, what are the positives to use?

    It's genetics.... Some people are genetically predisposed to tolerating tobacco and others are not. I've said this before....just in a different way. Some people will get emphysema and others barely get a scratchy voice after decades of smoking. And unless you know for certain....it's a...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Nope....not me....never me. I did not come to these conclusions on my own nor did I follow any one specific individual to learn from. None of what I've said is anything like secret or specialized knowledge....all publicly available. But you do HAVE TO LOOK.

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    I have explained quite clearly using scriptures and more....scripture primarily as well as anthropology, Topography, meteriology, and history. Scriptures were written in a very compact manner leaving out these things because (in this instance) they were considered to be "obvious...

    Concerned about cancer...

    Chewing tobacco use destroys your gums. No denying that. Ask any dentist or oral hygienist about their patients who use snuff or leaf tobacco. When I used snuff the dentist showed me exactly how it was eating away at my gum tissue. Cancer? Never had it. Don't want it either. But Cancer...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Sure you can claim I've provided nothing....but that doesn't mean that it's actually true. It simply means you are making false claims.
