    Boycott the NFL

    No, what I am saying, is I am no better off than they. And your kind of thinking is no different than their's: you both look at life as it is for all and have to blame someone else instead of wising up and getting along. They yell "Fire!" and you believe them and go trampling others in a panic...

    My 9/24/17 response

    Well...it was Paul who made it clear. But, yes, that's what I am saying - as sure as we were also born "individually." Each one of those verses can be read either way, i.e., "In a moment we were all born", etc.. It doesn't mean we were all born together in some mass event. As for the one verse...

    Boycott the NFL

    That's like saying a steakhouse doesn't care about beef. They are being used by the very political underworld they are protesting but have wrongfully identified, and apparently blind to it - they should care. No, I am paying attention to the majority of people...of all races. We all get along...

    If all of the Church is the Bride of Christ who are the guests?

    Well, seeing that you are making a point of specifying the term "bride", as if a wife had never been a bride - then surely, you only refer to the marriage and not to the wedding. But you make a game of what Paul clearly says is a mystery. Yet having clearly explained it, it is no longer a game...

    If all of the Church is the Bride of Christ who are the guests?

    It is the mystery of marriage: Ephesians 5:31-32 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church." Both have become one: Ephesians 2:11-18 "Therefore...

    Boycott the NFL

    Your sarcasm is not appreciated. What I have described is not me or my opinion, but the real world looking in on a bunch of people (whether victims or sympathizers) being abused to stampede like cattle through Washington via main street. Let me be clear: The minorities are being victimized, and...

    Boycott the NFL

    Perhaps I am giving them too much credit then. I see all races getting along in public, and so, if they go their way and have a bad experience, I believe they should be able to see that they are being used as political pawns. Or, hey, I live in a bad neighborhood, so bad things happen and they...

    Boycott the NFL

    I am starting to repeat the same comments. I have been to the bank, the store, the airport, watched TV and listen to the radio...but everyone for the most part gets along fine...with a smile, it's nice. I would suggest that this whole problem, in addition to just being an abusive political...

    Fire the Sons A ********** Says President Trump!!

    Yeah, the connection is ridiculous: Police brutality vs. the flag? ...There is no connection! As for police brutality, I would venture to say that the statistics don't even support their actions. I mean, if more blacks get stopped or go to prison, it is probably because more blacks are poor...

    How to make the evil of others not destroy you?

    Decide who you are. Then, whether you go out in the rain or into darkness or sunlight, you can say, "I am."

    Boycott the NFL

    I guess I am not making the connection: Police brutality vs. the flag? ...Why not a hunger strike, for crying out loud?

    If all of the Church is the Bride of Christ who are the guests?

    Well, there are the undefiled of Israel, and also the unmarried of the church who have the Holy Spirit (oil). I should think, Solomon is referring to daughters of Israel.

    My 9/24/17 response

    But...it has been made clear: 1 Corinthians 15:23 "But each one in his own order" ...each in his own time.

    If all of the Church is the Bride of Christ who are the guests?

    Oh, I do believe that the gentiles are part of the bride. But here is where it gets tricky - they are the virgins, not ever having had a husband: "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and...

    Boycott the NFL

    How strange. That's kind of the definition of "arrest." Police "force" is the job description. "Peace" officer is not. Peace is the object, force is the means...by design. Do you mean against blacks...or in general?

    If all of the Church is the Bride of Christ who are the guests?

    These are the gentiles, the nations good and bad outside the gates.

    Is the Bible lying ?... Was Jesus?

    John 14:19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also."

    9/30/17, Rev 12:5, Jubilee etc..

    47,754 people will be raptured that day (and every day).

    Boycott the NFL

    Okay...I guess I need clarification... I am not a sports fan, so I am not sure just what the knee-taking players are trying to say. I have just taken it as a disrespectful slam of hatred on America... What exactly is their beef?

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    This, again, is all due to a misunderstanding of what salvation is, and what it is not: All the above verses refer to those merely "called out of darkness", not those delivered from it. That is a loss of opportunity, not of salvation. Having been called out and chosen for salvation, having...
