    Coffee or Tea

    Hi DL, I am not familiar with that aspect. In coffee plants it’s the “seeds” they brew. Think that would be scant and messy indoors. A Tea uses leaves, as you know. The Yaupon “seeds” / “berries”, are bright red, pretty, bird food, not for human consumption, but can be used for holiday...

    Coffee or Tea

    Agree the price of coffee, is crazy! We are heavy coffee drinkers, brewing typically 2-3 pots per day for Two people. Yaupon holly bush/tree, located primarily in South/eastern US, grows wild, reproduces quickly, AND; the leaves can be brewed into a TEA, the taste is similar to coffee, AND...

    Humanitarian means being concerned with or seeking to promote human welfare. Humanitarian is a Human who promotes the welfare of another. Jesus is a Spirit who appeared to humans in the Likeness AS a Human to Promote HOW humans could become in the Likeness AS Jesus. (Some)humans Promote the...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Sure. Everything That Scripturally teaches godly behaviors BETWEEN manKIND… IS in preparation for a Relationship between A man and God… Promise faithfulness by your word…??? Keep your word. Men accept broken promises. God doesn’t. Warning… with God… be diligent, be sure, what your word says TO...

    Standing… Survey… YES or NO………………?ONCE SAV-ED…SAV-ED FOREVER [OSAS)?

    Disagree. Rather… Scripture teaches… “Gods Book of Life”, IS Gods Record of All Humans ever having experienced LIFE. That Book has ALL humans Names Recorded, from Before manKIND WAS or IS procreated, manifested. “OF” All such Identities (names) … some names: “Shall Be” blotted out. “Shall...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Multiple marriages among humans in multiple professions historically, modernly, occurred, occurs. I think the gravity more so is a human being yoked with The Lord God, or not. Seems that was so. Scripture indicates Peter at some point had a wife, agree. First pope? Fanciful, concocted...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    All have had the Offering of Salvation. God saves Jesus Saves Christ Jesus Saves those crucified WITH Him. God Saves Those who died, who Believed in Him and His Word (not knowing his name: Jesus). God Saves those who believe in Jesus, was sent by God. If one IS IN His Hand, He is Saved...

    PETER AND THE ONE AND ONLY GOSPEL

    I would say: Paradise is a PLACE, established by God, where Absolute Love, Peace, Truth, Joy.: Exists. While Scripture Reveals the human born man Abraham experienced is Experiencing Paradise… The literal “place” Paradise IS Located “WHERE” the “Tree of Life” stands. Mysterious Ways of WHERE...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    I do not know “IF” polygamy was common among early clerics. I would say; Polygamy is a tradition instituted by men. Clerics hold the status and position to lead men to God… Rather than to be lead by men in their man-made traditions. Thus Paul’s teaching for a cleric to have One Wife, dividing...

    WHY DID JESUS SAY NOT TO MAKE HIM KNOWN?

    I would say: Same as with Simon Barjona, it Is Gods Authority, Place, to Reveal Jesus’ supernatural Identity to individuals. Glory to God Taken
