    The Tyranny of Politeness

    Yup. From Superman - Wikipedia During World War II, Superman was used to support the war effort. Action Comics and Superman carried messages urging readers to buy war bonds and participate in scrap drives.[132]

    The Tyranny of Politeness

    You are falsely equating a citizen being required to speak per approved political correctness with a teacher prohibited from "teaching" Cultural Marxist propaganda.

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    Yes, by definition, you cannot be a son and not be a created being, created by your father.

    The (potential) Treachery of Doctrine > My way, or the highway >

    There in lies the ultimate problem. Everyone supposed they are acting ON God’s authority rather than ABOUT God’s authority.

    What makes a doctrine false?

    I was thinking of what the word doctrine even means in trying to answer the question of what makes a doctrine right. Turns out that one of the senses of doctrine is dogma. From Definition of DOGMA dogma noun dog·ma ˈdȯg-mə ˈdäg- plural dogmas also dogmata ˈdȯg-mə-tə ˈdäg- Synonyms of dogma...

    What makes a doctrine false?

    Oops. I meant to say if I hold it to be true, then the doctrine is true. Of course, IF we were honest AND NOT EGO driven, we'd be willing to test the hypothesis and allow the results to alter the doctrine we hold to be true. Sadly, most begin with their claim of what is true, then engage in a...

    What makes a doctrine false?

    If I hold it to be true, the doctrine is false. If I hold the doctrine to be false, it is false. Beyond that, it has to do with where the Spirit leads you. Keep in mind that doctrines are man-made. The Bible is man-made. And the church is man-made. It is the Spirit that rightly divides. Is it...

    The (potential) Treachery of Doctrine > My way, or the highway >

    I see it that way too. Due to hubris, some suppose they just need to express their doctrine more often and LOUDER. Truth is, they will never reach some. Yet, other denominations will reach some - EVEN though different in some relatively trivial point of doctrine. Of course, no subject in the...

    The (potential) Treachery of Doctrine > My way, or the highway >

    Two terms people interchange falsely, unbiblical with anti-Biblical. Unbiblical is the fact that Florida is south of Maine. Much of what we know today is unbiblical. Anti-Biblical is like anti-truth. Jordan Pederson described this as different from a lie. A lie, he says, is a twist or...

    The (potential) Treachery of Doctrine > My way, or the highway >

    Given that God's way begins in humility, not too many people can really see it.

    The Tyranny of Politeness

    When I grew up I got an education through TV. I was a devotee of the 1950's Superman. The opening crawl said, "Fighting for TRUTH, justice and the American Way." It was unapologetic reflection of why Superman was created, as propaganda for American society in the 2nd world war. Of course, 'the...

    A Form of godliness

    You know. You just don’t want to admit you know. 1st, Your question is denying these are 2 Beings by using ‘Is’ rather than ‘Are’ they to begin the sentence. 2nd, Then your question ends by confessing they are 2 Beings since there is nothing else to ‘yoke together.’ 3rd, the inequality is...

    A Form of godliness

    The you see dimly for the word is Elohim, which means heavenly Being.

    A Form of godliness

    To be clear, I am putting AGENCY on the table. Agency is a principle used throughout Scripture and is a way to use language even to the present. When people say, "Hitler killed 4M Jews," they don't mean it literally. Rather, he ordered his agents to do it. On the detailed HOW of Creation...

    A Form of godliness

    Let's not turn this into the forbidden subject. The "us in question being discussed is Angels. Let's stick to that.

    I could be wrong but it seems many of your posts contain this golden nugget of wisdom. :)

    A Form of godliness

    LANGUAGE USAGE: Using the term "form" is how one knows it is NOT what it is in the form of. 'My uncle's swimming pool was in the form of a kidney.' It remained a swimming pool. If something IS a thing, there is no purpose to say it is merely in the form of that thing. My birthday cake WAS...

    The Tyranny of Politeness

    I meant to add that the vid nicely identifies what is going on: the revocation of freedom of speech AND the elimination of the right to remain silent. As they are requiring you to speak. What's more she details what going along with it implies; that the other person is entitled to MAKE YOU go...

    A Form of godliness

    You got it. "Like" is not equal. Equal has already been defined. Two of the most different life forms remain "like" in that they are living. "Is" affirms identity, which is different from someone thought something. I thought Joe to be at lunch is not the same factual statement as it IS the...
