Yeah, the flashcard response of most homeless people is not to participate. They are dropouts--some not by their own choice, but some for sure. I don't think it is enough give them stuff and try to teach them. I think they need to be shown how to make choices that improve their existence. For...

Thanks for the numbers. Looks like my explanation only accounts for 73.8% ;) I see the substance abuse issue as a symptom rather than a cause.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Yeah, it is obvious to me that people in government simply don't have the answer--for first not properly identifying the problem, and then just throwing money at it.

What is missing in most interpretations of end time events, is any accurate understanding of the convergence of time with eternity, i.e., between mankind and the ways of this world, and God. Jesus came preaching and explaining what the kingdom of God is like--because He brought it with Him...

This reminds me of the saying: “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” And yet, while some of that applies with dealing with the increase numbers of homeless--that is not the answer. If you give a man a fish or give him a...

In which case you are selectively leaving out Jesus' commission to the Helper, the Holy Spirit, and Paul, to continue in those things of which He had "more to say" that the apostles could "not bear" then, to lead us into all truth. The bible did not "forget to say", but you have forgotten to...

Thank you for taking the time to clearly state the issue as you see it.

The Bible actually explains all these issues. But what you have overlooked is that what you have describes... is actually intentional, and is actually the plan. Here, connect the dots: "Seeing many things, but you do not observe; Opening the ears, but he does not hear.” Then "For precept...

How then does this comment below that you made earlier come into what you said above: What is it that you mean by this statement, and "not all (about Christ)?" And if this is the problem that you are here to address, what was it that was or was not "all", that went against your purpose?

We are also a body of many members (and just one Head, whom is Christ).

No...Paul got it right, teaching of the old man and the new, and to "press on" "leaving behind those elementary principles." As for me, I hear His voice...which you now dis me for, preferring milk, against the very things that make up the full gospel.

On the contrary, I am also saying what Jesus told Nicodemus...which is first the natural and then the spiritual. The point being that Jesus initiated that new spiritual birth, but the early church fathers went back to the elementary principles and practices that were only to teach of the real...

"Spikes" are perhaps just what is called for for some, but for others spikes can be dangerous or deadly. My wife is one of those who the shot would probably kill. She has reactions to most medications, and can only have a fraction of what is usually called for, or none at all. For instance, she...

These were only foreshadowings. The apostle Paul ("line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little there a little") elaborated to say, "the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual." He (Paul) also, even then--two thousand years ago counselled against such...

Nothing new under the sun. :(

That is quite a mouth full. Worth quoting. Might just get you cut out of the will.

Instead of "semantics" perhaps it would have been better of me to say "pet peeves." And my point was that such pet interests with in the one body of Christ, need not be looked at as a competition of which or who is right. It's counterproductive. You do bring up some interesting points...and...

What is this...elementary school English class? col·lab·o·ra·tor /kəˈlabəˌrādər/ Learn to pronounce noun plural noun: collaborators 1. a person who works jointly on an activity or project; an associate. Let me rephrase that... We both know the definition of the word "collaborators"...so...

Whether "semantics" or not, or something else, even this is semantics. Either way, it's a problem that need not be. If I describe Jesus with many books, you could write many more and repeat nothing I said. The point then is not at all that one is correct and not the other, but rather that...
