Tobacco may or may not cause oral cancer but that doesn't mean that it's all that good for teeth and gums.

You are reading into scripture what is not there. The beattitudes are not a litmus test for entrance into heaven. They are a set of blessings for the people who personify what Jesus describes. "Meek" is the English word used....for lack of a better one. Self emotionally regulating is a...

Ignoring what I've written is why you are having lots of issues and expressing anger. Get ahold of yourself. And when you can speak rationally and do some of your own due diligence on the subject matter then we can have a conversation. I originally had hope of a conversation....you...

There's no telling what's on the internet....lots of junk mostly. It is an effective deformed because nicotine is poison. There's plenty of mutagens in tobacco as well....processed or not. And you do want processed tobacco as green, raw leaves are extremely abrasive, acidic and destructive...

This will help Senior citizens AND completely restore the dignity to the foodservice industry. Foodservice has been deteriorating ever since the tax on tips has been instituted. It's cut into the salaries of the whole industry. From cooks to dishwashers and not just waitstaff because now...

For those who use snuff or chewing tobacco it will do the same for people as it does for cattle. And this was effective for those living out in wilderness areas without means to wash and disinfect food contact surfaces or foods or hands. It also was good as a mild stimulant like coffee or...

If ONLY that was true. When you add words and concepts to what is written that's not sticking to scripture. When you completely disregard the three main characters thoughts to create a scene out of whole cloth that is not what they intended to be read....that's YOUR bible you have written...

No.... Just no. You really have no understanding of me or anything beyond the physical world whatsoever. Pity.

No... Not even Never happening even on a good day. That's a universalism approach and a deadly theology. King David also disagrees with you. So does Jesus and every other Biblical author. The world is condemned....been that way since Adam and Eve. "Cursed is the Earth because of you"...

Because they aren't the same thing. Critical analysis of exactly what was said instead of reading extra concepts into what was said by Jesus is necessary. Just because the majority of Americans read "you need to be" due to a massive marketing campaign into John 3 doesn't make it so...

And exactly WHAT are you assuming that you believe I think it means? And it is an assumption on your part because I've stated only that the theme is coordinated with the rest of John's Gospel starting in the first chapter and is continued throughout to the last story of Peter fishing.

And this is the difference between an originalist view of scripture versus a populist view of scripture. I'm in the originalist camp. The populist camp says that scripture means what they wish it to mean today. (Born again crowd) Such is the lgbtq crowd. Not even ever going to go there...

Yes I have.... In EVERY modern Bible there exists a footnote declaring that "born again" in John 3 truly is born from above. 1st Peter is more born anew because Goodrich kolenberger dictionary is better than Strongs. Paul also talks about being a new creature....but it's not an experience.

Not to be repetitive... You have yet to address anything of substance I have said about "born again".

If you want to speak less coarsely and more refined then you need to focus on using new speech patterns and expressions so you don't use the list of bad words. However...."bad words" are rather arbitrary and subjective. What is a "bad word" in the USA is a "nothing" in the UK or OZ or South...

No superiority here.... Just you seem to be completely blind to anything anyone says that is different from "church answers" which go beyond the most basic sermons delivered from a pulpit. I have given detailed information regarding what was said and the exact context it was said in going...

Yeah.... I am going to agree with you on this. The 10 lepers who were cleansed in Luke only one stopped, turned around to tell Jesus "Thank You". Sure the other 9 were cleansed of Leprosy but only one was healed completely. And I have recently understood the difference between being...

So you claim that I am not a Christian because I have more advanced hermeneutic skills than you do? That somehow because I know more anthropology, koine Greek, and understand what these things actually mean I cannot be a Christian? There never has been a road constructed to allow traffic...

I have already explained the difference....two completely different subject matters between what Peter discusses as born anew and what Jesus labeled Nicodemus as Born from Above. If you can't engage in honest discussion by the minimum simple acknowledgement that i have explained myself I...

Yes.... What Peter was discussing and Jesus was discussing are two completely unrelated concepts. As far as "born anew" I am very familiar with the concept that Peter was discussing.... However, it's become clear to me that most Americans do not understand what Jesus was discussing because...
