    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Nope.... Jesus did Not use the same words Peter used. Just saying.... The classification of "Born from Above" was one used to classify certain heroes of Israel's history. (Caste based social structure....go figure eh?) These were people who were prophesied about before they were even...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    "Born again" is a mistranslation of genethe anothen" because everywhere else it means "born from above" which fits the themes and context of John's Gospel much better than anything else. Erasmus and Tyndale got it wrong....they just didn't know any better. But translators continue this as a...

    Gratitude?

    What does gratitude look like? What is it beyond just being thankful? How does a person life a grateful life and lifestyle after initial words of thankfulness? Inquiring minds want to know!

    Oops, the Deacon's Son is Gay

    Well, there was a vacuum in his life for a while....it's not like he wasn't affected by his father's passing and being raised solely by his mother....or that his mother wasn't an emotional wreck by losing her husband and some of that somehow got twisted by him into being affeminate....then you...

    Supreme Court Justice warns Biden administration: be careful

    I think he handled the situation as best as he could with his consistent rulings as he has always performed on the court. Basically he is an originalist....which is "what did the Founding Father's intend with the Constitution when it was written?" Is the overriding principle he uses to make...

    Oops, the Deacon's Son is Gay

    I'm not discounting what you saw.... But you as much admitted the issue with his being a step son. Imagine, if you will, that children are kinda like buckets of paint. You need a whole lot of blue paint to turn a bucket of red paint blue again....and in many cases its not possible especially...

    WHO and Gates want military to force vaccinations of MRNA vaccines for the upcoming pandemic on everyone who refuses.

    No you didnt....you have yet to say something beyond propaganda. Because if you claim you didn't know anyone who died from the virus or was permanently disabled from the virus you are being completely disingenuous. And that's the truth!

    WHO and Gates want military to force vaccinations of MRNA vaccines for the upcoming pandemic on everyone who refuses.

    Contrary to popular belief.... Sometimes stuff happens especially when shoved into quarantines and people are out of their normal routines. That alone will cause all sorts of maladies that have absolutely nothing to do with vaccines. Look, if for example, you moved from your current...

    The Sabbath

    In Ephesians 4 Paul tells the Ephesian church to not get drink on wine. Does that mean it's OK to get drunk on beer (which they had available) or liquor or narcotics? Of course not! Because we can understand the significance of what Paul is saying. So when we read in Galatians about...

    WHO and Gates want military to force vaccinations of MRNA vaccines for the upcoming pandemic on everyone who refuses.

    So you claim to personally know 0.02% of the population that is susceptible to severe side effects of mRNA vaccines? That would be exceptional for an antivaxxer who hangs out with other antivaxxers. Excuse my disbelief. Because I personally know many antivaxxers who either died or...

    WHO and Gates want military to force vaccinations of MRNA vaccines for the upcoming pandemic on everyone who refuses.

    Between Trump and Biden and especially Dr Faucci they handled the whole vaccination rollout as poorly as they possibly could. I've never seen a big of a feces show as the one they performed. First off.... The mRNA vaccines were never fully explained to people as to how they work as well...

    Olympics Opening Ceremony Featuring Drag Queens Mocking Biblical ‘Last Supper’ Scene

    I know of a time when those "actors" and ALL involved with the planning and execution of this display would face the guillotine and even those with partial knowledge of what was going to happen would be horsewhipped. I don't see this turning out well for the French.

    What have you cooked lately?

    Well, Let's start with last week.... Last Tuesday I finally had the Sr Pastor from my church over for dinner. I've had several of the others over but it's been a minute. We have wanted to because we wanted to get to know him on a more personal level and to develop the questions to ask him...

    Oops, the Deacon's Son is Gay

    Nope. You are wrong on this one. 1st off I never grew up. Secondly a good Godly family has parents who have lots of open communication with their children without fear of recriminations for discussing feelings and thoughts.

    Oops, the Deacon's Son is Gay

    Ummmm Paul explains the answer thoroughly. I don't know anything more than that. However, a sinful father and/or mother or abuser could possibly be an inducement for a person to be so sinful they bring the curse upon themselves. Sin causes homosexuality. What is difficult to...

    Oops, the Deacon's Son is Gay

    Romans 1 and the first part of 2 explains fully why and how people become homosexual. You can argue with God over it all you want. You can refuse to believe the scriptures or try to leave them still be confusing to you.... But it's very plain to me that homosexuality is a curse that develops...

    Paul's hypocrisy and its consequence

    "Outspoken and bold"? That's an overly generous way to put it. Too generous and so a mischaracterization. Look carefully at how he spoke to Peter. It was anything but generous or graceful but instead snarky and cutting....and this was THE Leader of the cult he was a member of. Peter...

    Paul's hypocrisy and its consequence

    But then he won't argue....what fun is it then? Besides, we are talking about Paul here.... It kinda is necessary. Paul started how many city-wide riots over religious disagreements? Told the Galatians he wished the jews to become unichs. He wasn't as meek and mild as people tend to...

    Paul's hypocrisy and its consequence

    In Paul's conversion story there exists a major clue as to WHY Paul was not only willing but eager to go to Jerusalem despite the "warnings" which in Paul's case were actually enducements. In Paul's conversion it was made clear to Paul (by God) that he was to suffer for the Gospel. Up to this...

    Opening Olympic games, drag queen recreation of the last supper of Christ

    The Christians in France are upset with the Opening ceremonies as well.... https://x.com/DonaldTNews/status/1817698794181738720 This is France.... Where the customer is King.... But they kill their unruly Kings.
