    Do we have free will or are we predestined?

    The question is, whose Kingdom do we align ourselves with? (did Judas align himself with) There is the rub. Outcomes flow from that alignment as does water downhill.

    If you are not familiar with 'The Great Controversy' by EGW, here is a link to an ebook. egwwritings.org It's free. You might look at some of the latter chapters? It deals with last day events. Draw your own conclusions.

    Mark of the Beast on the horizon? - Key dates: November 2026, February 2027, March 17 2027

    No doubt It will get difficult. Knowing this keeps me from surprises. The scripture tells us that if it were possible even the elect would be deceived. Eyes and ears open I say.

    I am sceptical. The sound and nature of the presentation sounds similar to many other you tube audio stories. AI generated? I don't know. I put them on the shelf. Why not film the nun in real time sharing her experience?

    ScottA: Heretic, or No?

    Pride is the flagship of error. Projection its means.

    ScottA: Heretic, or No?

    No I don't think that. What I think is that you have an image of yourself as sent by God that I am not persuaded of. What I am persuaded of is that your self reflection lacks honesty. As does yours

    Mark of the Beast on the horizon? - Key dates: November 2026, February 2027, March 17 2027

    Yes yes, that's how they do it....put what appears to be legit and make it compelling....so it is swallowed without too many questions, if any. I've seen what appears to be legit news casts claiming all sorts of things about the Middle East, America's future, blah blah blah. Initially alarmingly...

    ScottA: Heretic, or No?

    I guess denial by either you or me inevitably draws a wrong conclusion. It behooves us to pursue self honesty in spite of ego.

    Keep in mind that large amounts of You Tube content is untrue......and perhaps it is deliberately meant to be, so that the unsuspecting masses will easily swallow information and ultimately be confused. They are easier to manage that way.

    ScottA: Heretic, or No?

    Challenges, by their very nature are difficult. In my view, the ignore button is for those who can't, don't want to, have a myopic view or feel threatened by unfamiliar or strange positions. True learning increases when courage steps out of the fishbowl paradigm and allows (does not resist)...

    ScottA: Heretic, or No?

    Any judgement (however you view it) is in your estimation. I asked a question.

    ScottA: Heretic, or No?

    You're asking the question to people who probably haven't read your testimony so why feel put out because my question in reply hits a nerve?

    Why men don't want to get married

    What! Testosterone levels decline? Maybe for you young fella. This 73 year old brown duck sees the girls prettier and the desire stronger. I gotta do battle with the beast!

    Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth?

    Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth? I guess the JW's would say it is them seeing they use the language of 'being in the truth'. Mormons on the other hand are sticking close to their own rails of fiction. Pentecostals are taking a wide berth....buckets to collect...

    ScottA: Heretic, or No?

    Is the ego stroked either way?

    Do we have free will or are we predestined?

    Do we have free will or are we predestined? Predestined to choose our free will in exercising appreciation for the gift given us.....or exercising our free will doing despite to the spirit of grace, trampling the Son of God underfoot.

    Unclean Lips

    soap, ah yes, soap.....only bubbles and a lot of spitting.

    Unclean Lips

    Lemon juice and toothpaste for the mouth but Grace and Compassion for the head and heart. The latter absorbed cleans the mouth....even without lemon juice and toothpaste!

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    The greatness of ordinariness is only appreciated by the enlightened. Eyes that see and ears which hear are awakened to this fact. Paul puts it this way, 'But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

    Poll: What happens to faithful Christians when they die?

    What happens to faithful Christians when they die? The big word is....are you listening?....HORRIZONTAL.....just like cows and chimpanzees. In fact, there are some stages after Horizontal. If nobody has noticed, here's the heads-up. A kind of stiffness comes on and if you leave it long enough...
