I suspect when the next pandemic hits, it will be something worse than a souped-up cold. I also suspect that many people will reject another emergency immunization. I guess what I'm saying is... they don't need to put a killlswitch in the vaccines. They've already conditioned the detestables...

PTB? Not familiar with acronym.

If I learned anything from Plague, Inc, it's that when the fatality rate climbs, the contagiousness drops. Killing the host/victims is sort of a self-containment mechanism. Also, I thought it would be fun to add another game here that sort of feeds into the whole thing.

If you're still reckoning 'who-is-an-Israelite' according to genealogies, you've missed the boat by about 2,000 years. The New Testament reckons that according to BELIEF.

Milk and honey are animal products. They were not promised an agricultural paradise, but one where husbandry ruled the day.

Well, yes. Front-facing eyes to hunt. Stomach acid similar to vultures and other birds of prey. The equipment says, "predator."

Have you looked into a carnivore diet? It turns out removing all the chemicals they spray on crops now gets rid of a lot of the modern-day health problems.

Joseph was a carpenter. Jesus was a doctor.

There still aren't. The low altitude and meager rainfalls mean there is an actual dirth of trees there. Trees only grow next to rivers or at the very top of the rounded hills there.

I think you were right the first time. If you look at the verse in Mark, those words are in the mouth of some skeptical Jews - a snide comment rather than a statement of truth.

Salvation is a state of being safe, that results from God's action. Perhaps you should move on. You don't seem to be able to consider any alternative to the dichotomy you offered up, neither of which quite hits at it.

I don't know it all. I just think I read the chapter and the one before it. It doesn't seem like you did to me. Or, if you did perhaps you didn't understand it?

You're just flat wrong. Read the chapter.

If it was unconditional, Esau would have inherited the promises. He did not.

Neither. The running in Heb 12 is done because we are following after Jesus. See the previous chapter, which is all about faith.

It starts with "I will be your shield and very great reward" in Genesis 15, which is a promise of both protection and financial support. Abraham also asked for a Son. God granted him not only a son (Isaac), but also that he would become "a father of nations" and also that The Son would come...

Well, following after Pilgrim's Progress, there's a well-marked path to follow. All one has to do is follow it to remain safe. That idea also seems to have a Biblical basis: Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every...

In this scenario, I'm not sure God would consider them... at all. They are living as enemies of the faith. If at some point they believe and repent, their prior sins would be forgiven. Once that happens, a valid marriage could occur. That's probably a better answer in any scenario involving...

It depends on other factors you haven't listed here. Is the couple engaged in a monogamous relationship? Heterosexual? Are they both considered adults such that they are able to contract on their own behalf? Are they both unmarried? Is either encumbered by a previous relationship that God...

Most marriage licenses don't actually set out any terms. The vows recited at the ceremony serve the purpose. Malachi 2:14 describes marriage as a covenant: Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt...
