I swear, this woman (SG) is almost totally obsessed. LOL

I love the argument about AK-47's. Most people haven't the slightest idea what they are even arguing against. Other than the fact that no public weapon needs to be fully automatic (which any NRA member agrees with) an AR-47 is identical to most rifles we have had since I was a child, 70+ years...

How can people disciple who have never been discipled themselves?

From GQ.Org. “The Way” is mentioned several times in the book of Acts (Acts 9:2; 19:9, 23; 22:4; 24:14, 22) in connection with early followers of Christ. It was to take prisoner men and women who “belonged to the Way” (Acts 9:2; 22:4) that Saul of Tarsus went to Damascus. After Saul was...

You play things your way, and I'll handle them mine.

I enjoyed the series back when I just dutifully went along with what I was told to believe. Then, some years later I learned to read for myself. (I'd probably just chuckle today.)

Want to explain that to your wife, standing over her grave? Not me.

It is a little degrading to say that when Jesus was tempted, that it was a breeze for him because He was God and, therefore, could not be tempted.... didn't experience any of that temptation.

When did I say it was "learned behavior"? It is usually introduced and groomed behavior, persuasively inculcated into the developing psyche of susceptible children.

Please tell me that wasn't a serious reply. LOL

That's about the stupidest comment you've made yet.

Exactly! We wouldn't even know the name of Jesus..... let alone how to seek any "Standard".....or that there even WAS one.

And, we do that by returning to the Written Word. LOL

Isn't is odd that whenever someone wants to "prove" we are to follow God's mystic leading instead of His written words... the first thing they direct us to is His "WRITTEN WORDS."

That's still just mystic mumbo-jumbo when it comes right down to how we act in, for instance a land transaction, or a real estate dealing. Or the settling of Dad's will between our siblings? What are God's standard in those explicit cases? He spells it out in hundreds of places in the Bible...

Seriously? You have to ask that question? It is clearly the thousands of words God had men write down, showing us how He wants us to live.

Sad to say, "Yes, I have seen God living in us in hundreds of posts on this forum."

The replies all sound nice and churchy... "Spiritual", even. But, none of them come close to itemizing the standards God so carefully gave to human beings. We already have them written out for us.... God spent a good deal of time and Bible space making sure there could be no mistakes for...

Boy, do I agree with THAT! "Yes", give Trump the gift of 4 more years.

Are you saying you never look at the life or actions of someone else and find yourself realizing they are not meeting God's standard? Of course you do. We have all done that. So how do we know what is God's standard in such a situation? Do we look for perfection from them?
