    The importance of glucose infusion for health.(vineyards in the Bible)

    Not sure about China, but in the US we aren't allowed to administer anything intravenously except from a registered nurse. And the only exceptions I am aware of are epinephrine automatic injectors for life threatening allergies. Also people may be trained to inject their own insulin for diabetes.

    Do what is right to please God.

    You would have to be confident in his ability to fill the role. Otherwise putting him in that position would be throwing him under the bus. Only then would considerations of who needs more hours, or taking on additional burdens yourself come into play. But suppose that was in their Job...

    Do what is right to please God.

    Then sometimes I think it necessary to teach the concept from Psalm 146:3, by not being overly accommodating. So that people will trust God rather than man. "3Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. 4When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that...

    Do what is right to please God.

    It would be a different story if you knew Nigel needed the hours. The Puritan work ethic, is a biblical concept I believe to be summarized by Colossians 3:23-24 "23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will...

    The last hour

    We have been in the last hour for two thousand years. I think the Father is keeping the details of the day and hour a secret for a good reason. Some will meet the Lord in the skies, but far more will pass before that day. For those who are dying the hour of judgement is always near, because...

    Watch out for this "black flag".

    I wouldn't give blanket agreement to "Observable facts and experiences are true, no matter what." Suppose someone were to focus on Jesus being born in Bethlehem based on Micah 5:2 and disregarded all other prophecies about his origins. Then they learned Jesus grew up in Egypt. They might then...

    Porphyry wants to know

    People before the time of Jesus Christ people had to follow the written law or their conscience in the absence of God's law. Yet those who were observant would come to know of their inadequacy despite attempts to live righteously. They recognized their sin and asked God for forgiveness, making...

    The 666 mark will be a tattoo

    While revelation is filled with things needing spiritual discernment, this verse about buying and selling is not one of them. The devil would gladly coerce people into taking the mark. If you believe stories of witnesses to black ops to retrieve the bodies of giants and other strange...

    The 666 mark will be a tattoo

    It is a tricky question because you can't buy or sell without the mark. The location of the mark on the body reminds me of Deuteronomy 6:8, which is a metaphor for how the commandments should be acted and meditated upon. So it must be more than metaphorical if others can tell rather you have it...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    I don't believe Romans 11 contradicts this prophesy from Jesus, and I'm sure you have an explanation for how it doesn't as well. Some or even most Jews remained hardened against belief in Jesus. Culturally they were and still are stagnant. The believing Jews were far more flexible, going out...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    If you take the word for what it says, it is actually only believing Jews that go to heaven. The gentiles are grafted into the olive tree. We are united with the heritage of the faithful Abraham Issac, and Jacob through our faith in Jesus.

    This is what happens when you appoint people who are inexperienced and clueless

    If the list were altered to implicate Trump allies and absolve key globalist leaders, I can understand why it wouldn't be released. The deep state has had the evidence in their hands for years, and I wouldn't put anything past them. And if the evidence was destroyed, or tampered with. It would...

    Ozzy Osbourne passed away today

    We can judge actions (as in discerning good from evil). He was not producing good fruits. But I don't know what happened with him following his obsciene radio show. Could have had a come to Jesus moment, probably didn't.

    Ozzy Osbourne passed away today

    It's better not to assume someone who has died is in heaven or hell. Let God judge them. (as in a Court) Once they leave this world it is best to consider their fate as none of our business. It can be difficult to let go, and leave that decision to God for our loved ones. Everyone assumes...

    Air India 171 pilot error, pilot suicide, fuel switches were found to have no mechanical error, which means was deliberate seems to me.

    Giving AI control follows the same logic of using machines to improve the speed and accuracy of counting votes. It may seem promising at first, but It doesn't prevent malicious actions on a system level.

    Air India 171 pilot error, pilot suicide, fuel switches were found to have no mechanical error, which means was deliberate seems to me.

    It is a tricky problem because you need to be able to cut off fuel to the engine if there is a fire. Perhaps a mechanical interlock with the idle position is needed. Not to prevent flipping it, but to change how you need to toggle it, so the routine is different than shutting off the engine...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    If there were a spirit that tempted Satan, that would actually be the real Satan. I can't conceive of a darkness that has no will of its own, yet it is still able to articulate a temptation.

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    That Satan is going to be dealt with doesn't deminish his influence now. His influence in this world will increase going forward into the last days. Must spiritual darkness be an impersonal energy or vibe? I'm not convinced such things exist separately from a malevolent evil spirit.

    Air India 171 pilot error, pilot suicide, fuel switches were found to have no mechanical error, which means was deliberate seems to me.

    What would be more terrifying than a murder suicide is if the pilot subconsciously flipped the fuel switches off at the worst possible time. A comforting thought as you pass big rigs on a dual highway. Or get that injection from a nurse. Or any number of things that put our lives at risk...
