    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    That is the only Gospel. I made this point in the other thread.

    Horrible wildlife driven by high winds near Los Angeles (Pacific Palisades)

    No word on the empty reservoirs or hydrants?

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    Princesses = derogatory, shaming language of a man who expresses ANY expectations in a relationship with a feminist.

    Sweden Shuts Historic Churches for Winter to Meet Climate Goals

    From your article, The Church of Sweden has announced the seasonal closure of seven medieval churches from October to May in an effort to meet its climate objectives. Not the sovereign State of Sweden. "The Church of Sweden." Is voluntary doing this to meet its own goals. Night clubs have...

    Horrible wildlife driven by high winds near Los Angeles (Pacific Palisades)

    I loved how the LA mayor blamed unprecedented wind in not being able to get air support. Just keep saying that. Keep ignoring the fact that the reservoir's were empty to save fish and the hydrants had no water preventing firemen from having the basic tool to do their job, which displays rank...

    GALATIANS 2:7 WHICH GOSPEL TO PREACH?

    Lost to archaic English. A modern translation CEV: They realized God had sent me with the good news for Gentiles, and he had sent Peter with the same message for Jews. There is only one Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ. To this Gospel, there are billions of witnesses and testimonies over...

    Finger pointing and condemnation

    One of the best "in the Spirit" moments was at a neighbor's 50th birthday party. Her son came late but gravitated to me. We talked most of the night. He admitted sharing things with me he does not want to share with his mother. At some point, the Spirit prompted me to give him the last remaining...

    Trump and Obama talking cordially stirs up anger in Kamal at funeral for Carter.

    Not too many former living presidents left with Trump's re-election: Clinton, Bush and Obama. I VERY elite group. It was a funeral. 2 former Presidents sitting next to each other chatting. Rather human. They are political rivals but still belong to the elite group.

    Finger pointing and condemnation

    Did you see what you did there; turn ‘we’ into ‘they?’ When ‘we ‘ realize we are in the same boat as ‘they’ it gets a lot more humbling. My first Bible was the Challenge Bible (CEV). It is aimed at drug addicts at an 8th grade reading level. When I admitted that I am an addiction to sin, all...

    Finger pointing and condemnation

    I remind myself of the luxury of the written form. It does not require an immediate, reflexive response …. Sometimes I give myself 2 seconds to formulate a witty rejoinder. LOL.

    Finger pointing and condemnation

    Here was a great opportunity to take personal responsibility in NOT Finger pointing and condemning others. Opportunity lost. When one points the finger, 4 point back at themselves. I prefer to apply the principles of the book, "Don't sweat the small stuff. It's all small stuff." We cannot...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    That's a tough one. We need to meet people where they are, even if where they are is hung up on some craziness. I keep in mind the adage to give until it feels good, not until it hurts. In short, some abandon the field of ideas but stick around to stick it to you emotionally and hail one...

    (Deep Dive) 1 Samuel Literary Devices

    In 2017, the NSRV released their Cultural Bible, which was the Bible of the Year. In the introduction to 1 Samuel, they identify 10 literary devices. I thought it would be fun for those like @marks, to take a deep dive: Story narrative poem birth narrative call narrative dream theophanies...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Yup. So, anyway, disagreeing has nothing to do with exploring trinitarian logic. I came across a deep dive opportunity for you today. I'll start a new thread. I think you'll like it. :D

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Appeal to Strawman. No one in this thread denies Christ. It''s the trinity doctrine that is denied because it is not in Scripture that is denied extreme eisegesis notwithstanding. What is denied by trinitarians is there is only one God, the Father, stated explicitly and repeatedly in Scripture.

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Exactly, starting with translations in modern English that don't have archaic words, like thinself, in it, which are far, far superior to obsolete translations. No reason to rely on the worst translation available in English today (anything with "James" in the title).

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    Everyone makes mistakes. Also, there may be 2 overlapping subjects. A return to Apostolic teachings, made possible by the printing press. Reformation insights that go beyond above. For instance, how technology might assist in the Great Commission and synergies of zeitgeist and modern...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    So trinitarians claim. Scripture does not actually say this. Relying on a bad translation is bad form.

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Image and forms are words used in Plato's philosophy but the ideas are not the same. Hebrews know not all as it seems. Paul wrote about seeing dimly. While an angel can take the form of a man, it is understood they are not a kind of man. It is said Jacob wrestled with God all night, who was in...
