    Is the Bible the word of God?

    This is not true. There are many translations of scriptures that are no longer under any sort of copyright protections for use and are considered "free use". The original NIV is coming up in roughly 30+ years to be "free use". 100 years of copyright is the limit. You can use up to 500...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    I am NOT preaching legalism or rigidity in worship. The scriptures teach liberty over legalisms...very succinctly and clearly. And the ONLY way to know about the liberty is to know the scriptures. I don't need to know every false religion, theology, or false god to know what to avoid....I...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    I point you directly to extra-biblical materials worthy of study and you reject it for the imagination in your head....you go on and on about what should we believe about scriptures or not....but you have placed your imagination in preeminence above all printed materials. Which leaves the...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    That would be a study worthy of attention. Maybe you should. I have. And I'm unwilling to share my research with you. It took a lot of time. But seek out Jewish sources (midrash, sifre, and Targums) and then Jerome's notes. They will tell you what you what you want to know.

    What to do with all these illegal aliens?

    Ummmm Not to be a naysayer.... But $11,000 X 20 million = 220 Billion. So it's a bit cheaper than what you are saying. And they will NOT be getting airline flights with stewardesses to anywhere....they will be bussed and train boxcar to their various destinations...outside the USA. K...

    What to do with all these illegal aliens?

    Let's put it this way.... In scriptures the first year's produce from a fruit tree or grape vine was not to be touched by the farmer. It was for "God" who used it to feed the poor and desperate. Same with the corners of your grain field....and if you left a sheaf behind you couldn't go back...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    More than enough has been recorded that you obviously do not know. Why are you branching off from the scriptures when you do not know the truth they reveal yet?

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    Actually I am smart enough to know that the amount of information contained in the 66 books is more than I can ever know or remember. My estimation of huge is an endless library with volumes the size of whole encyclopedia sets attributed to each naturally formed chapters and not the numbered...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    Yes you will. But because you don't know scriptures you do not know who said it or where it can be found. And it's in the 66 you so readily dismiss. The other "books of the Bible" have never, will never, or are ever considered to be scripture. They are "along side" books used to help...

    What to do with all these illegal aliens?

    Mexico officials are looking to break them up and turn them around. When the deportations from America come along....they are getting those too. Some are heading for Canada. I have no problem with those who just want to work and live their lives. However....the prostitutes, drug...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    Going beyond what is written is a greivious error. We have a huge amount given to us by which we know exactly how to not be in opposition and to be pleasing to God. Why would you deviate from that when you can't do everything laid out in the scriptures we currently have? I've never met...

    What to do with all these illegal aliens?

    You aren't wrong.... But speaking from a purely numbers scenario...we, the US Citizens, are not having enough children. The average woman in America only has 1.6 live birth children in her lifetime. We need a birth rate of 2.3 per woman for stasis of our population. Higher for any growth...

    What to do with all these illegal aliens?

    Okay... Of course you are in financial tight times. The economy is broken. The government has been lying and cheating in favor of big business. There are only 7 contractors building housing in the USA as all the independent contractors have retired or quit. Only the giants remain and they...

    What to do with all these illegal aliens?

    These things are the result of the manner the Democrats did things. Which I wholeheartedly disagree with how they were brought in. I'm suggesting that we do better. We need the people....we don't need the chaos which results from dumping people into an area. There does exist gubberment...

    What to do with all these illegal aliens?

    Yes.... But I'm referring to those who are involved in gang related activities, prostitution, Theft, SA or drug mule type activities in order to survive. Those we don't need....the others who just want to live, work and reside....I'm OK with them living here as are most people. Of course not...

    What to do with all these illegal aliens?

    Actually.... I have a different view. We need the people. Do NOT need the criminals. We need an easier streamlined process for them to get jobs and work. But we want to toss out the criminals. I don't know exactly how this can be done but....we need to let a bunch work legally here...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    There are ONLY two things that have God's breath within them. One is man as God breathed life into him. AND Scriptures as described in Timothy 3:16. Dunno how else to explain the living nature of scriptures.....they are much more than words on a page.

    TRUMP WINS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!

    In truth... It's a trifecta. All three branches of government are now conservative. Legislative....both house and senate. Judicial Executive (the big news) All cabinet positions and departments are going to be changed. Trump has been working on the transition team for 6 months now. 9...
