    Before marriage- what was your guys dealbreakers?

    Hate is NOT the opposite of love. Apathy is. We fight because we care. And seeking to our own individual interests. But when you stop being so individual and start becoming more of a "we" and relaxing in that "we" knowing that your spouse will indeed see to your needs without fail...your...

    Heuristics - Free Course

    What type of Heuristics? To do what? It's in WordPress....meaning the possibility of attatched viruses is high. There's more than one way to skin a cat...

    The Problems of Solo Scriptura (from Keith Matthison)

    I haven't read the article.... But the premise that Sola Scriptura is a must for scripture interpretation is a very bad one. First off we cannot solely use the scriptures to learn the alphabet....and we don't. So since osmosis doesn't work we gain learning from outside of scriptures to learn...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    @Johann (Just for a brief moment of levity) You put Augustine and Jerome both in the same post and they weren't fighting? How could you? That's completely heretical.

    Does God decide who dies when?

    Suffice it to say... What God thinks is nothing like what man thinks. What we consider as "life altering" serious deviation is a "nothing" to God. God knows the future better than we do our own past. We cannot throw a surprise party for God.

    The Interview

    You may think it's incoherent ramblings....likely because you don't understand what is going on in the world.... But everyone else thought it was a clear discussion about Trump's platform. The things he wants to do as president. They may or may not be good ideas. That's for people to...

    Doctrine as a god - bow down before the one you serve...

    No.... TS2009 (The Scriptures 2009) Before that it was ISR'98 (Institute of Scripture Research 1998) I have a hard copy of ISR98 but only an electronic copy of TS2009. Not many changes. They tend to know all the old Talmud, Sifre, and etc from the Jewish extra-biblical literature in Israel...

    Doctrine as a god - bow down before the one you serve...

    Why wouldn't I make that assumption? It's literally the Church of Enland's translation made by that church for their church members specifically. The Baptists have their translation made by them for themselves and their publishing house Lifeway. The Catholics have their specific translation...

    Doctrine as a god - bow down before the one you serve...

    As I am not Anglican/COE I don't use that particular translation out of the 900+ various translations I could use. I'm not likely to change denominations to Church of England anytime soon either. You might enjoy that particular denomination but their doctrines and mine don't go together very...

    Doctrine as a god - bow down before the one you serve...

    Gnosticism is a doctrine Universalism is a doctrine Calvinism is a doctrine Or are these theological systems? Oxford says: "a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group. "the doctrine of predestination" So....it appears to be synonymous with...

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

    Yes... Recordings this morning are very clear. I would say Trump was more coherent, less rambling, less stilted too. A Billion people listened. More by this point. I guess the prohibitions actually reversed the effect....it caused more people to listen.

    The Interview

    So.... Yesterday night Elon Musk and Donald Trump had a roundtable discussion about Trump's platform and what he wants to do and accomplish during his presidency. It went about an hour Long after a DDOS attack on X. The reactions and furor were astounding. The UK threatened Elon for...

    Before marriage- what was your guys dealbreakers?

    Yeah....at 58 I've never met a woman like that either. So I'm not going to say to do that. However I will say not to marry a former sex worker of any sort. From modeling to onlyfans accounts or exotic dancer. (This includes Instagram and Facebook) What do you and she want to do with this...

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

    Trump and Elon Musk had an interview on X... Interesting stuff....Trump actually sounded decent if not a bit hoarse. But his speeches were fluid and smooth. Not like his normal whichvtends to be stilted and stumbling. I'm sure slices and full recordings will float around for days and weeks...

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

    Well my lighthearted joke obviously lost something in the two dimensional world of posting....my bad. I wasn't looking to cause anything....except maybe a smirk on your face at my expense and not yours. It was an attempt at positive humor...not the bad sort where someone is made to feel bad...

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

    The esophagus recovery thing is a joke dude!. Don't get me wrong... The name thing....I get it. You need to be highly structured. It's part of the recovery process. Just remember that if you got something wrong along the way it's not an unforgivable. BTW... What part of the country...

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

    Correct.... The esophagus thing has been ongoing for years now.... And I'm not gonna knock your decision to try to use the Hebrew version of God's tag name. (Kep*has vx Peter is two language variants of the same name of the Apostolic leader and both used in scripture....I put in the asterisk...

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

    My esophagus is still recovering from being in knots.... God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, and father of Jesus.... That works too....
