    Trying to understand the liberal mind.

    Yes, that’s the standard rejoinder. But it doesn’t apply if you read the context. And if that’s the only one, which is about giving for distressed saints in other churches, does that mean we don’t pay our pastors? Of course not, and apparently you don’t have to be cheerful about it, though it...

    Trying to understand the liberal mind.

    Oh, I see. Sorry I missed that. The way I understand walking in the Spirit is that we joyfully do the things that we used to need a law to force us to do when we walked in the flesh. So while we don’t do the wave offerings as the law stipulated, we still thank God for what He gives, and we...

    Trying to understand the liberal mind.

    They do in a Love your neighbor sense. Like the parapet example. We would apply that today as a deck railing.

    Trying to understand the liberal mind.

    I’ve known a few people that like his teachings. I haven’t read much, but the part I have was trying to understand how the Old Testament laws would work today, at least the civil ones, like having a parapet on your roof to keep friends from falling off, and sharing your increase (tithe or wave...

    Global Warming - a leftist delusion

    Global warming is acknowledged by some who don't think it is man-caused. For instance, they think it is attributable to solar cycles, and isn't a threat, or at least not much of one, and not one we can do much about. And there are some that think global warming is caused by carbon dioxide and...

    Global Warming - a leftist delusion

    Is it? and you know that by what, silence? Not according to Rev 16. Simply saying they are NOT related is no stronger an argument, despite the all-caps. I don't disagree with you, but that wasn't what I was arguing. And I'm not too sure that's what @marke was arguing either. So you may be...

    Global Warming - a leftist delusion

    I agree his choice of words is a little strong, but he did give support to the claim. When one is talking about a warming of the earth, without specifics, then both concepts could encapsulate the same event(s). By "global warming" or by "Global Warming"? Lower case is merely a general increase...

    Global Warming - a leftist delusion

    I guess his claim that Rev 16 is talking about global warming is no less justified than your claim that it isn't. His verse talks about "warming", and it talks about how it is somehow initiated by man's disobedience/rebellion. We know God is going to judge the earth by fire instead of flood next...

    Limited atonement !

    In fact, Jesus' sacrifice will be applied to everyone in one sense--that all will rise from the dead. Some will rise to life (those that believe and receive the gospel), and some will rise to judgment). If the penalty for sin is death, then raising everybody who sinned from the dead means that...

    Dems are trying to steal the election with voter fraud

    Then you would agree it’s a loss of freedom?

    Dems are trying to steal the election with voter fraud

    I’m being threatened with the loss of my job if I don’t agree to lie about someone’s gender. That’s a loss of my freedom in order support someone else’s perversion.

    Dems are trying to steal the election with voter fraud

    And that’s what @JudgeRightly was talking about. We have rights that are slipping away, because there are people in power here that do not recognize good laws from bad anymore. We had the opportunity, and at one time strove to help, other countries to have those rights, because they came from...

    Dems are trying to steal the election with voter fraud

    There has to be a set of rules that govern. When those rules are determined by man, freedom departs. When those rules are determined by God, freedom remains. When our nation was in the business of eliminating the rules of man (like chattel slavery) in favor of belief in God’s wisdom and...

    Parents charged in son’s crime

    They’re definitely acting suspicious. And it seems like they were negligent at the least. I’m just saying that once the prosecutors choose adult status for the boy, the parents should then become accomplices, if anything. The unintentional homicide label just doesn’t seem to fit, when the boy is...

    Parents charged in son’s crime

    I thought this made sense, until I realized they were charging the kid as an adult. Thus, they are saying both that he’s responsible for what he did and he’s not responsible for what he did...
