Do you feel pressured? .

Jesus was and is perfectly virtuous and never engaged in any consumption of poison. .

In a solution of 99% water (which is extremely healthful) and 1% arsenic, the benefits of water don't do much good. Is there really a need for so much protest if you are right? It's been my experience that you do not tolerate opposition well. It didn't take long for you to accuse me of undue...

There's no shortage of scientific evidence that alcohol consumption in the smallest doses destroys health. The fact that God has given us varyingly forgiving constitutions doesn't change the fact that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. People will find justification for even the grossest...

I love a good B&W Christmas movie. I can't account for my taste, really, but I grew up watching some that I have a hard time not breaking out every year. I particularly love these: (In no particular order) The Bishop's Wife (1947) Christmas In Connecticut (1945) The Man Who Came to Dinner...

The “wine” and “strong drink” here referred to were both fermented. In times past God often “winked” at gross “ignorance” responsible for practices He could never approve. But eventually the time comes when, on each point, God “commandeth all men every where to repent” (Acts 17:30). Then those...

It's a good point you make about medicine. People like to make hard and fast rules so they can excuse themselves from making tough decisions on a day-to-day basis. I'd probably take a swig or two of Gin if my leg was getting amputated and there was no anesthesia available—maybe a little more...

Yeah, I'm working on my short shrift skills. I'm really being drained of patience with incessant whining and people's obsessions with ceaseless objections. .

Who cares? It's 2023. .

People are free to do whatever they can get away with. But human history is a slow realization that God really means what He says, regardless of our attempts to twist His word to suit our wants and traditions. Science is catching up to the fact that we can't consume whatever we please and...

I used to be quite a devotee of the "Golden Age Of Hollywood." Naish is a compelling character in the WWII North African campaign drama "Sahara" (1943), starring my favorite actor, Humphrey Bogart, playing a captured Italian POW. I'll stop derailing the thread now. ;) For anyone who has...

They used to insert it between full-length features on the Turner Classic Movies channel and it got to be so popular over the years that they actually started scheduling it. It has an ensemble of wonderful character actors and has the distinction of depicting great devotion toward the newborn...

To be fair, sometimes it's just called: "The doctor was wrong." .

Well, since I can't imagine how this could get anything worse than the Judas/devil treatment, I might as well tell you what I think even though it is BIBLICAL—something you seem to regard very highly. The BIBLE says: 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and...

By suggesting you might benefit from words said from Christ to the rich young ruler, I get the Judas/devil treatment. I just thought maybe I could get in on a little of the correcting and warning. My mistake. I know: "Be encouraged, Barney." The darts of spiritual innuendo are not...

What I think doesn't matter. What Jesus says is: "One thing thou lackest." .
