    Walz is toast if this goes viral!!!

    Here's what.... Go to Kamala's website and look for platform issues.... Then go to Trump's and do the same. Kamala has no platform....just wants your money. Trump wants your money too but has a platform of 10 immediate things he wants to do.

    Tobacco has a lot of negatives as reported by the prohibitionist, it is highly addictive also, what are the positives to use?

    I have no idea in truth. I only know what the health professionals have personally told me. I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on the internet. (Unlike so many others) It's truly a roll of the dice....or better yet making choices and praying to God and hoping he blesses the outcome. (Not...

    Tobacco has a lot of negatives as reported by the prohibitionist, it is highly addictive also, what are the positives to use?

    It's genetics.... Some people are genetically predisposed to tolerating tobacco and others are not. I've said this before....just in a different way. Some people will get emphysema and others barely get a scratchy voice after decades of smoking. And unless you know for certain....it's a...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Nope....not me....never me. I did not come to these conclusions on my own nor did I follow any one specific individual to learn from. None of what I've said is anything like secret or specialized knowledge....all publicly available. But you do HAVE TO LOOK.

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    I have explained quite clearly using scriptures and more....scripture primarily as well as anthropology, Topography, meteriology, and history. Scriptures were written in a very compact manner leaving out these things because (in this instance) they were considered to be "obvious...

    Concerned about cancer...

    Chewing tobacco use destroys your gums. No denying that. Ask any dentist or oral hygienist about their patients who use snuff or leaf tobacco. When I used snuff the dentist showed me exactly how it was eating away at my gum tissue. Cancer? Never had it. Don't want it either. But Cancer...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Sure you can claim I've provided nothing....but that doesn't mean that it's actually true. It simply means you are making false claims.

    Concerned about cancer...

    Tobacco may or may not cause oral cancer but that doesn't mean that it's all that good for teeth and gums.

    If all Christians ‘go to Heaven’…

    You are reading into scripture what is not there. The beattitudes are not a litmus test for entrance into heaven. They are a set of blessings for the people who personify what Jesus describes. "Meek" is the English word used....for lack of a better one. Self emotionally regulating is a...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Ignoring what I've written is why you are having lots of issues and expressing anger. Get ahold of yourself. And when you can speak rationally and do some of your own due diligence on the subject matter then we can have a conversation. I originally had hope of a conversation....you...

    Tobacco has a lot of negatives as reported by the prohibitionist, it is highly addictive also, what are the positives to use?

    There's no telling what's on the internet....lots of junk mostly. It is an effective deformed because nicotine is poison. There's plenty of mutagens in tobacco as well....processed or not. And you do want processed tobacco as green, raw leaves are extremely abrasive, acidic and destructive...

    Trump: no tax on tips or seniors' Social Security

    This will help Senior citizens AND completely restore the dignity to the foodservice industry. Foodservice has been deteriorating ever since the tax on tips has been instituted. It's cut into the salaries of the whole industry. From cooks to dishwashers and not just waitstaff because now...

    Tobacco has a lot of negatives as reported by the prohibitionist, it is highly addictive also, what are the positives to use?

    For those who use snuff or chewing tobacco it will do the same for people as it does for cattle. And this was effective for those living out in wilderness areas without means to wash and disinfect food contact surfaces or foods or hands. It also was good as a mild stimulant like coffee or...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    If ONLY that was true. When you add words and concepts to what is written that's not sticking to scripture. When you completely disregard the three main characters thoughts to create a scene out of whole cloth that is not what they intended to be read....that's YOUR bible you have written...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    No.... Just no. You really have no understanding of me or anything beyond the physical world whatsoever. Pity.

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    No... Not even Never happening even on a good day. That's a universalism approach and a deadly theology. King David also disagrees with you. So does Jesus and every other Biblical author. The world is condemned....been that way since Adam and Eve. "Cursed is the Earth because of you"...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Because they aren't the same thing. Critical analysis of exactly what was said instead of reading extra concepts into what was said by Jesus is necessary. Just because the majority of Americans read "you need to be" due to a massive marketing campaign into John 3 doesn't make it so...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    And exactly WHAT are you assuming that you believe I think it means? And it is an assumption on your part because I've stated only that the theme is coordinated with the rest of John's Gospel starting in the first chapter and is continued throughout to the last story of Peter fishing.

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    And this is the difference between an originalist view of scripture versus a populist view of scripture. I'm in the originalist camp. The populist camp says that scripture means what they wish it to mean today. (Born again crowd) Such is the lgbtq crowd. Not even ever going to go there...

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Yes I have.... In EVERY modern Bible there exists a footnote declaring that "born again" in John 3 truly is born from above. 1st Peter is more born anew because Goodrich kolenberger dictionary is better than Strongs. Paul also talks about being a new creature....but it's not an experience.
