    Zelenskyy wants nuclear bombs and NATO membership, remains defiant and says he does not owe an apology to the US and Trump

    I'm not sure if Ukraine would have had the technical ability to maintain them. Wouldn't be able to count on Russia to keep them from becoming duds over the years.

    The south wasn't permitted to leave the union, neither would California be permitted.

    More on the deity of Christ

    I believe Psalm 103:12 "As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us." So we have a God who can forgive and forget sins yet he is omniscient. Its a variation of the old paradox, can an omnipotent God make a rock so big he can't lift it? Can God who...

    More on the deity of Christ

    Yes Habakkuk 1:13 that sounds right. I also see no conflict with Spurgeon position. It could be explained by selective awareness, like God has his back turned.

    No more slave to sin

    The entire Bible is the inspired word of God. Meaning it came from the Spirit of God. The red letters showing the words from Jesus' mouth are not any more true.

    Islamic community NOT allowed!

    I don't know how a local government could uphold religious law without violating the the separation of church and state in the establishment and free exercise clauses of the constitution.

    You shouldn't have a problem with the word if you hear from God.

    No more slave to sin

    Matters are established by two or three witnesses. If what you hear is from God it will agree with the word. If the new you is born of the Spirit it needs spiritual sustinemce. The manna from heaven, the word of God. Your obsession would be to consume every word of the bible. How does it...

    More on the deity of Christ

    Jesus had a special relationship with the Father, it was that relationship which was temporarily severed on the cross when Jesus took on our sins. The father can not look on sin. Jesus' nature was unchanged, he was still divine. For we who are evil it may not seem alarming when God is silent.

    No more slave to sin

    Christians do not often disagree about what scriptures are from God. But people can look at the same scripture and see different meanings to the same words.

    How many worlds filled with people has God made?

    The descendants of the serpent refer to all people who are spiritual descendents of Satan. They are all who have not been born again of the Spirit of God. Those born again are God's spiritual descendants. There are only two sides to this war. Most are not possessed by Satan, but are more...

    How many worlds filled with people has God made?

    Satan is more intelligent and crafty than any of us humans. He knows the scriptures and he knows his days are numbered. There is no reason to teach him. You will not change him, and his fate is sealed. To think otherwise is pure arrogance. It should be clear that the scriptures were speaking...

    No more slave to sin

    I believe Jesus was born with the Holy Spirit. Jesus was baptized not for the forgiveness of sins because he had none. Rather It was necessary to fulfill this rite to make him a priest. As all priests took a ceremonial dip.

    If I am "commanded" to love you (brother/sister), what is it you think my love is commanded to be? (dreaming?)

    Think about what is beneficial to someone in the long term. And what you can do to help them to grow. This can be very nuanced. People are three part beings and the best thing we can do is lead them to Jesus Christ so that they may be born again spiritually. There are physical needs...

    An Open Can Of Meat: Vision

    I had been keeping a closet of canned foods with long expiation dates. Before the foods expire we donate them. Corned beef is one of the more abundant food products I'd been stocking as our local warehouse store has pallets of the stuff.

    How many worlds filled with people has God made?

    If eternity in heaven is as the 7th day of rest, what comes the following day? I can't see God as someone who enters retirement never to create again after a week of work. What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those...

    Vision Of A Loaf Of Bread Thrown Into The Sea

    With the other vision coming to pass, this one could have a more ominous meaning. I am concerned the loaf may represent the Catholic church, which was divided into many denominations. Now each is being tossed into the sea, where birds (demons) peck at them. Which might refer to the doctrines...

    Vision Of A Loaf Of Bread

    But it wasn't clear from the vision which way they turned.

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

    John 10:10 tells us of God's intentions for Jesus in his first coming. He was sent to save the world. Don't expect a lamb at the second coming, but a lion. Other points appear to be valid at first glance. I would add that God did not create evil, it is better translated as calamity. God...
