Talk about your pot calling your kettle black... By the way, the orthodox method of hermeneutics is literal first, symbolic only if it is evident.

From the Mozilla/Firefox Blog: We need more than deplatforming Mitchell Baker January 8, 2021 There is no question that social media played a role in the siege and take-over of the US Capitol on January 6. Since then there has been significant focus on the deplatforming of President Donald...

What they didn't understand was their Messiah. Not sure we can trust their understanding without question.

:):):) Ding, ding, ding!!! We have a winner!!! :):):)

That's just funny. Ever ask yourself, "Could it be that God is love, which is neither Republican nor Democrat?" I'm really into the Bible, you know. I've actually heard sermons and read up on Christians and combatency. And I suppose you're immune to that condition. Largely unintelligible...

That those who conversed together are not disembodied spirits, but personified dead men, is further proved by the following facts: 1. Not one word is said of the spirit of any person named. 2. This conversation takes place in hades which the sacred writers affirm to be in the depths of the...

29. We answer these questions precisely as we do those which arise from the testimony of “Moses and the prophets,” to which we are in this parable referred. When Rachel long dead, is represented as shedding tears and lamenting the murder of her children; when the mighty dead converse with...

23. Pharaoh and his army slaughtered in battle with the king of Babylon, are set forth in this same manner. The slain upon the field of battle being buried indiscriminately, and friend and foe cast down together into pits, into the nether parts of the earth,” into sheol, “the strong among the...

12. Moses and the prophets were indeed divinely inspired on every point concerning which they wrote; but on the point respecting which we seek light, they have the special endorsement of our Lord. We may therefore confide in their teaching concerning hades or sheol, assured that the great facts...

4. The language of Jude concerning the Sodomites has therefore no relation to their condition in death, and cannot be made to furnish evidence that the wicked dead are now in a state of torment. There remains therefore, the case of a single individual — the rich man — out of which to deduce the...

The Wicked Dead: Are They Now Being Punished? THIS is a question of awful solemnity, and should not be treated as a matter of speculation and idle curiosity. By far the larger part of mankind live in neglect of the great duties of religion, if not in open contempt of its most solemn commands...

Okay, go with fantasy. I'm sticking to reality. He is doing what is necessary to keep him from being physically ejected. That's all. What is the purpose of your sophistry? "Nuanced." Give me a break. What is the ax you're grinding? I really don't get it.

I know what a military tribunal is. I've seen "Judgment At Nuremberg" dozens of times. What exactly were the war crimes we'd be prosecuting?

You're very frightening to me. And I'm a reformed tough guy. I used to beat people (plural) up. I thought I wasn't afraid of anything. Militant Christian citizens. Go figure. What was Jesus thinking when he ordered Peter to put his sword away and healed that soldier's ear, right?

Sorry, but if I ran down my positions on the usual issues, you'd be disappointed to find that I don't fit into any of the usual boxes. I'm really into the Constitution. Especially the part about religious liberty. I owned a handgun once when I had to work the midnight-to-dawn shift so my wife...

You need some education. You think people should die because they prefer a different kind of government. By that logic, you would have hated the American Revolutionaries.

How? HE SAID HE WAS OKAY WITH FELLOW AMERICAN HUMAN BEINGS GETTING KILLED. HE SAID HE CAN'T WAIT TO GO TO WAR. HOW DO YOU DO CIVIL WAR WITHOUT KILLING ORDINARY PEOPLE?

@April_Rose I'm confused. You like this? Is this ChristianityBoard.com? Am I dreaming?

This kind of talk reminds me of one night in '83 when I was at the enlisted club at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Some raging Gomer stood up, held his beer up high, and yelled "Raise hell, drink blood, and eat Russian babies!!!"

Agreed, I think. :)
