Not to be repetitive... You have yet to address anything of substance I have said about "born again".

If you want to speak less coarsely and more refined then you need to focus on using new speech patterns and expressions so you don't use the list of bad words. However...."bad words" are rather arbitrary and subjective. What is a "bad word" in the USA is a "nothing" in the UK or OZ or South...

No superiority here.... Just you seem to be completely blind to anything anyone says that is different from "church answers" which go beyond the most basic sermons delivered from a pulpit. I have given detailed information regarding what was said and the exact context it was said in going...

Yeah.... I am going to agree with you on this. The 10 lepers who were cleansed in Luke only one stopped, turned around to tell Jesus "Thank You". Sure the other 9 were cleansed of Leprosy but only one was healed completely. And I have recently understood the difference between being...

So you claim that I am not a Christian because I have more advanced hermeneutic skills than you do? That somehow because I know more anthropology, koine Greek, and understand what these things actually mean I cannot be a Christian? There never has been a road constructed to allow traffic...

I have already explained the difference....two completely different subject matters between what Peter discusses as born anew and what Jesus labeled Nicodemus as Born from Above. If you can't engage in honest discussion by the minimum simple acknowledgement that i have explained myself I...

Yes.... What Peter was discussing and Jesus was discussing are two completely unrelated concepts. As far as "born anew" I am very familiar with the concept that Peter was discussing.... However, it's become clear to me that most Americans do not understand what Jesus was discussing because...

Nope.... Jesus did Not use the same words Peter used. Just saying.... The classification of "Born from Above" was one used to classify certain heroes of Israel's history. (Caste based social structure....go figure eh?) These were people who were prophesied about before they were even...

"Born again" is a mistranslation of genethe anothen" because everywhere else it means "born from above" which fits the themes and context of John's Gospel much better than anything else. Erasmus and Tyndale got it wrong....they just didn't know any better. But translators continue this as a...

What does gratitude look like? What is it beyond just being thankful? How does a person life a grateful life and lifestyle after initial words of thankfulness? Inquiring minds want to know!

Well, there was a vacuum in his life for a while....it's not like he wasn't affected by his father's passing and being raised solely by his mother....or that his mother wasn't an emotional wreck by losing her husband and some of that somehow got twisted by him into being affeminate....then you...

I think he handled the situation as best as he could with his consistent rulings as he has always performed on the court. Basically he is an originalist....which is "what did the Founding Father's intend with the Constitution when it was written?" Is the overriding principle he uses to make...

I'm not discounting what you saw.... But you as much admitted the issue with his being a step son. Imagine, if you will, that children are kinda like buckets of paint. You need a whole lot of blue paint to turn a bucket of red paint blue again....and in many cases its not possible especially...

No you didnt....you have yet to say something beyond propaganda. Because if you claim you didn't know anyone who died from the virus or was permanently disabled from the virus you are being completely disingenuous. And that's the truth!

Contrary to popular belief.... Sometimes stuff happens especially when shoved into quarantines and people are out of their normal routines. That alone will cause all sorts of maladies that have absolutely nothing to do with vaccines. Look, if for example, you moved from your current...

In Ephesians 4 Paul tells the Ephesian church to not get drink on wine. Does that mean it's OK to get drunk on beer (which they had available) or liquor or narcotics? Of course not! Because we can understand the significance of what Paul is saying. So when we read in Galatians about...

So you claim to personally know 0.02% of the population that is susceptible to severe side effects of mRNA vaccines? That would be exceptional for an antivaxxer who hangs out with other antivaxxers. Excuse my disbelief. Because I personally know many antivaxxers who either died or...

Between Trump and Biden and especially Dr Faucci they handled the whole vaccination rollout as poorly as they possibly could. I've never seen a big of a feces show as the one they performed. First off.... The mRNA vaccines were never fully explained to people as to how they work as well...

I know of a time when those "actors" and ALL involved with the planning and execution of this display would face the guillotine and even those with partial knowledge of what was going to happen would be horsewhipped. I don't see this turning out well for the French.

Well, Let's start with last week.... Last Tuesday I finally had the Sr Pastor from my church over for dinner. I've had several of the others over but it's been a minute. We have wanted to because we wanted to get to know him on a more personal level and to develop the questions to ask him...
