    Never Trumpers Dropping like Dead Flies!!

    Wrong. Regulation and government obstacles impact market confidence and investment. I've been in the business for 40 years. Trust me on this.

    Never Trumpers Dropping like Dead Flies!!

    That's foolish and you know it. There is no party that supports "no healthcare". One desires government healthcare and the other supports free-market healthcare. One understands that free-market healthcare provides more innovative care and accessible care than a government system that has a...

    Never Trumpers Dropping like Dead Flies!!

    I wish you luck. I would rather be sick and bankrupt than supporting the murder of these children. No way to explain it away. It's a trade of better healthcare and wages for the support of abortion. Soon it will be a trade for the persecution of Christians. Some will choose comfort over doing...

    Never Trumpers Dropping like Dead Flies!!

    Only the uneducated vote for anything other than policy positions. If you vote based upon personality or looks or whatever you are just foolish. You're voting for government leadership, not your spiritual leader. For me, there is no policy position worth supporting a person whose policy position...

    Never Trumpers Dropping like Dead Flies!!

    It's simple. Some are willing to put healthcare, a minimum wage, and other things (enriches themselves) about the murder of unborn children. So Jesus ask, why did you support a party that promotes the death of the helpless and many will have to answer because Lord I needed better health care and...

    Rumblings of Things To Come. Personal Thoughts

    For some reason, I just cannot see our Lord being happy with the mega-church structure and organization. It's like a corporation. Not all large Churches have it wrong I'm sure. I also think some Churches spend a great deal of effort in preaching to the choir so to speak. Evangelism I associate...

    Who can speak to the text?

    Some have a difficult time with the supernatural within the scriptures. They do not believe in such things and therefore must find an explanation for the plain reading of the scripture. Scripture gymnastics. I will not bother with these keyboard theologians who have it all figured out to fit...

    Rumblings of Things To Come. Personal Thoughts

    Exciting times for the faithful. We are seeing prophecy unfold in our lifetime. We should not be fearful but watchful. The current impending conflict between Isreal and Iran is another example of prophecy unfolding before us. Jesus is coming soon. I've felt a sense of urgency in making sure...

    Getting drunk in the spirit "Biblically"

    I've not given this a great deal of thought and I'm sure someone can find an issue with this example but here goes. It was once explained to someone who was trying to understand the difference between indwelled with the Holy Spirit at salvation and being filled with the Holy Spirit. It's like a...

    Getting drunk in the spirit "Biblically"

    Those of us fortunate enough to experience the presence of the Lord in a Church service is I think the exception these days. Many have quenched the Spirit as to not offend someone. I was raised in an AOG Church and the best way to describe the manifestation of the Spirit would be orderly and...

    Preterist Claims In 66-70AD Fulfillment Falls, As The Book Of Revelation Was Written In 96AD

    I think a proper understanding of Revelation is necessary, to begin with. I really have no reason other than trying to know the truth (no dog in this fight) regarding this question. I find it hard to believe that the book of Revelation was penned earlier than any of the other books or epistles...

    Fun thread....Did you know......(finish the sentence)

    No. I've studied this timeline issue before so it was fairly easy to pull together my view. One of the things I enjoy is taking a subject and doing a deep dive in studying it. I keep my notes in a study binder and reference back when I have a senior moment. :)

    Fun thread....Did you know......(finish the sentence)

    Probable logic. I assume you're referencing the early writings of Irenaeus as conjecture. We have obviously no exact date given in the scriptures. In my opinion minus that we must look outside of scripture or historical validations compared to scripture. I see no reason to dispute Irenaeus the...

    Why didn't Jesus tell His Disciples to take notes?

    A couple of things. The Apostles and disciples had the direction of the Holy Spirit (Jesus told them he would send a helper). You must remember that the words, Epistles, and Gospels penned by men were inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not need to take notes. It is true that we...

    Fun thread....Did you know......(finish the sentence)

    I think it might not be wise to think that God would not give the ability to John to pen the book of Revelations at any age. It is also possible that John had someone else actually do the writing as he quoted it to him. Paul did this. The fact is that the book of Revelations is Revelation from...

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    I find it interesting that Jesus didn't complete the verse he was referencing Isaiah 61. Obviously on purpose. We must also remember that the manuscripts at that time did not have punctuation.

    Purgatory True of False

    I pray we are both there rejoicing and laughing about the things we thought we knew.

    Purgatory True of False

    It's all good Mungo. You can go to Purgatory and I will go directly to Heaven. Now we are both happy.

    Purgatory True of False

    I take my beliefs directly from the word of God with the help of the Holy Spirit. I continue to gain knowledge in his word and expect that to never end. I subscribe to the use of textualism. The practice of adhering to the actual text "when the plain reading makes common sense, seek no other...

    Hobbies do you have any?

    I enjoy learning and studying God's word and 1st century Christianity. I'm a long-time avid bowhunter for whitetail deer. I love the outdoors. I'm a long-time fisherman, freshwater and saltwater. I'm an Army veteran and enjoy firearms and shooting sports. I (not so much lately) collect old...
