    Why did the women want to anoint the body of Jesus after the burial?

    Why? Because according to women... Men never do anything right! ;) They likely didn't know about the tomb getting sealed. Yes, they likely knew about the burial but not the tomb sealing. Preparation Day is part of Passover WEEK. In Westernized society we view Passover as a single...

    Cults

    It's a joke in all reality. There is a form of currency in heaven....it just is not in the form of possessions. Kapeesh? Which is why I begin questioning ANY leader of ANY group that is paid a bit much. How much is too much? It all depends on the neighborhood.

    Cults

    See...in Acts they acted like a destructive cult...communal living. But it's recorded as a positive. As if this is going to be the lifestyle in Heaven. So...you go to Heaven with your rewards ahead of you...but then give them all away because of some slob that didn't do anything...

    Cults

    From: https://www.britannica.com/topic/cult Cult, usually small group devoted to a person, idea, or philosophy. The term cult is often applied to a religious movement that exists in some degree of tension with the dominant religious or cultural inclination of a society. In recent years the...

    Please Pray': Female Shooter Killed During Attack at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church

    EVERY large church has armed patrols consisting of current and retired law enforcement patrolling during services. The guns are out of sight on those without uniforms. Just the way things have gone. Too much violence in the world. Ethiopian churches in Ethiopia usually have fully...

    Mark of the Beast / Chip Implants

    I know of a LOT of rural places that barely have electricity...if at all that this will not be true with the current state of the world today. A lot of places where barter and handshakes that create a tab are more than good enough. This passage of scripture smells of a totalitarian regime...

    Coping With Death

    When all your plans for the future are destroyed and you feel like a small boat being tossed about by the waves in an endless sea of chaos without so much as a paddle.... Yep... Understandable feelings of powerlessness... However.... You own your attitude... That's all you really have owned...

    Tucker Carlson in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin

    Well of course the whole thing is so deep into geo politics that it's difficult to find anything without spin. "Victors write the history books" Poland never wanted to be a part of Russia or Germany. Both Russia and Germany both took and conscripted Polish men to fight during WW1&2. (Jews...

    Tucker Carlson in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin

    https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1755851825054433784?s=20 Here's the "interview" if you haven't seen it. Basically it was Putin rewriting history to suit himself and having a pretense to take Ukraine. "....it's mine" line from Putin was rather telling....meaning that it's not Russia he is...

    How to Study the Word of God

    I have a very twisted sense of humor....I agree. Scholarly hermeneutics is almost a lost skill....mostly because most people have an agenda of a pet theology that somehow gains them their "all access pass" into Heaven. Others have a position in an altruistic organization that they believe...

    Should only a few people be allowed to have children?

    Howdy.... I have been around a bit...."bought the farm" so to speak....by that I mean I've retired and bought a place to make a garden....kinda....just a fruit and nut farm. Pecans and grapes....maybe some peaches too. We'll see what comes. So far just some herbs and pecans. Got about 80...

    Was Bible Possession banned by the Catholic Church

    ROFL.... Which part do you hate the most? Considering your allegiances I have little doubt that you don't like anything being discussed in this thread. You can shade the truth to your hearts desire...but the Protestants weren't exactly innocent darlings during the English Reformation and...

    Should only a few people be allowed to have children?

    Whatcha mean? I know how to fry an egg...I swapped with the guy who had the recipe for boiled water. I've had the exact same avatar name across several forums... But probably many people would give me the title of chef. Last night we has one of the assistant pastors over for dinner. We had...

    Should only a few people be allowed to have children?

    One other salient point to make.... A man's worth does not consist of his possessions. Where I understand that popularity and wealth (often going hand in hand) are what society values most....these things really don't matter to God whatsoever. And considering the lifespan of people in...

    Should only a few people be allowed to have children?

    Where the vast majority of children that the poor parents produce are usually the dregs of society.... There are some stellar and outstanding people that come from these "misfits" of society.... Such as the town drunk and hapless wife....they had a son (William) who people didn't think was ever...
