    Justified by Works

    The point is 2Peter 1 Verse 3 right there tells us plainly we have been saved by grace. No wiggle room. God's goodness is his grace. "But wait there's more" There's available knowledge and tools for us to use provided by God....because God is good.

    What reason do people say you have to have faith in the bible?

    Because Jesus became one of us.... Experienced what it was like to be one of us.... Understands our failings, trials, and troubles... He has used his power to ensure we have a Bible to this day. God is omnipotent and omniscient. Meaning only God himself could have e preserved his words to...

    Justified by Works

    Which book was written first? That right there should tell you more than enough. 2Peter 1: 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious...

    What books are you currently reading?

    I just finished first round rough draft/outline of a book and it's off to the editor at the moment. The first round at the editor is rough....you feel like someone is cutting away portions of your soul and then expected to grow portions back in directions you never knew were missing. I...

    Russian Television and Tenet Media

    This is some disgusting stuff. It has been a stalwart of Russian propaganda for a while. These Americans knew what they were doing and didn't care. They just wanted the money. https://x.com/RyanMcbeth/status/1831667763854578097

    K Harris announces will use tax dollars to pay reparations to black people

    The most valuable tools and opportunities of American society were offered without cost....and snubbed. With those tools a person can achieve money and power. Not just an equal standing but superior. But they are routinely snubbed. The work required to use them appropriately and wisely...

    K Harris announces will use tax dollars to pay reparations to black people

    Overcome what? All the preferential treatment?

    what about transgender ? what if you were born as transgender

    When someone decides they are Trans but have had to endure sexual assault they are not transgender but instead are suffering from gender dysforia as a result of the sexual assault. Such is in the news today with the Nashville shooter's manifesto being released by the FBI. The girl had been...

    How to Effectively Study and Interpret of the Bible

    Just as an FYI.... Now that most search engines are providing everyone with an AI type answer about various topics.... The AIs out there are absolutely worthless for hermeneutics. My wife and I used it deliberately to test AI about a specific parable Jesus taught. The answer was convoluted...

    K Harris announces will use tax dollars to pay reparations to black people

    It is ultimately MORE prejudiced to declare that someone can have no success in the USA solely based on the color of his skin or his ethnicity. When nothing further from the truth could be true. There exists a wide range of people from various ethnicities that have achieved economic success in...

    K Harris announces will use tax dollars to pay reparations to black people

    Are you so prejudiced that you believe everyone who lives in a ghetto is one specific color or race? Thugs come in every color and race the world has including white, red, yellow, olive, brown, and black. In case you were not aware but there's a VP candidate that came out of a family that...

    K Harris announces will use tax dollars to pay reparations to black people

    And then what happens after reparations are paid? What comes next? Are their lives improved? Do they live well mannered, law abiding lives? You can take the thug out of the ghetto but can you take the ghetto out of the thug? Christians know this stuff off the top of their head. Where no...

    Psalm 22

    The Syriac manuscripts, a major source for the modern scripture conglomeration was written in Aramaic and not Hebrew or Greek. Because not all Jews went to Jewish elementary school. School was made compulsory for children in 60AD for Jews in Israel but in 70AD Jerusalem was destroyed and a...

    Why pray for God to CHANGE your circumstances instead of CHANGING you?

    Because most people currently are facing extremely difficult economic pressures with no viable solution. They live in modest housing of some sort with a bleak economic future. The food supply in their home is low, same with their wearability of clothing. Their transportation needs are also...

    Masterful propaganda.... Kamala Harris interview

    He was like her comfort animal or something.... Sure he said a few things...but altogether it was not much other than a promotional fluff piece without any substance. The bit about Fracking was still confusing. If this is the best she has....the debates are going to be a bloodbath. And...

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    That sounds like propaganda to me.... And why Eve got double trouble....God knew snakes don't talk. :jest:

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    It was next to the tree of life. The garden that is spoken of is an elaborate huge garden filled with "every good tree". As such in the center is the focal point. And many gardens have some sort of focal point centerpiece in it. Most have a fountain or statue today but some have a small...

    Masterful propaganda.... Kamala Harris interview

    Highly edited.... When the interviewer stumbled over her words worse or as bad as Kamala or Tim had to give a more clear answer.... There truly was no clear exchange going on here. More was edited than was broadcast.

    Judging your mother. Judging your sisters

    Do you know the story of Jeroboam son of Nebat? It's a frightening tale of how God never forgave him for teaching error. Sure, he taught acts of piety and holy lifestyles....but the error was still unforgivable. Just something to think about.
