    Riots Around the World

    A lot of these "movements" very much are providing a community and sense of belonging to a world that has been in isolation from quarantines of this virus. Third Wave is a documentary on Netflix about this very thing... very compelling. And we see that most of the violent people are...

    Riots Around the World

    Here's an article from someone who has been studying politics in America...which is at the root of why there's riots in America... Dinesh D'Souza says recent riots and political unrest could lead to 'rise of citizen militias around the country'

    Riots Around the World

    Actually I've witnessed the racism in other countries...it's real. I myself would participate in demonstrations over the racist behaviors I've seen first-hand...and I don't really do that kind of thing. Of course both sides of some of these things are way overblown with outrageous accusations...

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    Ok...thought it was the same guy. But I'll admit that you might be right...I'm just shooting from the hip of what I have discovered before without looking back at my notes. The name wasn't a focus of the research anyway...it was the theologies surrounding this huge story in John.

    Riots Around the World

    Currently everyone knows about the riots in America. It gets so much press. But it's a drop in the bucket of all of the rioting going on. Here's some going on in Ethiopia: Hachalu Hundessa riots - Wikipedia Here's one in Australia: Australian Black Lives Matter protests: tens of thousands...

    Wisconsin Riots and a 17 Year Old

    Kyle Rittenhouse's lawyer plans to sue Twitter after account was blocked | Daily Mail Online Social Media has been completely scandalized in this. Both Twitter and Facebook both have been caught trying to directly control public opinion. WOW... Of course they crumple like a cheap suit when...

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    In Ancient Jewish Theology they had a similar debate such as the Fate vs Faith. And it was framed in the context of Sin. Because sin was considered to be the thing that cursed people. This sin could be either on a corporate level or individual level that caused various ills in the world. A...

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    It's a false dichotomy that I'm not going to engage in. You are saying that the color blue tastes like either strawberries or turnips and asking which flavor I think it is... And I'm trying to tell you that the color blue is not something that you can taste...but you keep insisting that I'm...

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    No... again you have it wrong. And if you had bothered to read and understand what I wrote you would see that.

    King James Version Only...?

    I know that I would like it if there would be a great new discovery of a copy of St John's Apocalypse... The only complete ones we have are based on the Latin Vulgate... It's that line: And I/the dragon stood on the shore that I want clarification on.

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    You should read some of the letters from the early church fathers and theologians... They were all over the place theologically speaking. They especially fought over the Millenial Reign. I'm reminded of the stories about the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. There's a ladder sitting on a window...

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    There's not a one of us who has a perfect understanding of scriptures because we are simply human. We all make mistakes. However... When you learn the truth, know its the truth, and still refuse to change...that's when it gets scary. God is the judge... Not us.

    King James Version Only...?

    There was an extra line or two in Deuteronomy...but yes, it did verify the Masoretic texts.

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    Not what I said. Read carefully what I said and then read the scriptures. You need help finding them?

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    I did answer it with what you quoted...very clearly and distinctly. Didn't you read it? How could you not get the answer from what I posted?

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    One of the prophets answered this question concerning pottery and clay. Now what wasn't talked about in his passage was how a potter made his living. A potter had to be very fast first off. Clay jars were as valuable as a used mayonnaise jar. It takes a lot of them to have any value enough to...

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    But that theology is at the root of what he is promoting. And in his exegesis he is acknowledging the proper translation but then twisting it to fit the Calvinistic theologies instead of allowing it to show clearly what I laid out. "He came into his own but his own received him not." Is a line...

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    But that's the message of Calvinism...fate not faith.

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    Now looking at the first part of this verse in Leviticus the answer is right there... And something very unique. Blood is life. ALL life comes from God. Jesus is God It was a thing of uncleanliness to touch blood because you were touching something that doesn't belong to you. Jesus is/was...
