    Texas snow that doesn't melt?

    Really, ffreeloader? Your argument is that I've made my mind up after I disagree with you? How do you ever get anywhere with these folks that are actually antagonistic to you? Anyway, I went out on my deck, which conveniently has some snow on it, made a snowball, and held a script lighter under...

    Texas snow that doesn't melt?

    And those things aren't necessary when you have freezing temperatures--thanks for making my point for me.

    Texas snow that doesn't melt?

    I've got to go with Brain on this one. If snow doesn't melt, then it doesn't need freezing temperatures to produce it.

    Texas Crisis & Ted Cruz...

    She might be lousy at what she does, I agree. But AP was one of her sources. In an article about Texas, giving Texas stats and showing, supposedly, how bad it was in Texas, saying this: "These numbers, however, provide another perspective, painting a picture of the true cost of the state's deep...

    If you'll indulge me one more time, what do you think about this one. How many people died in Texas based on this article about Texas? ---------------------------------------------------- 69 deaths, 44 hours of freezing, $18 billion in damage: This week's winter storm, by the numbers By Alex...

    Texas Crisis & Ted Cruz...

    Then you don't think that the article was about Texas deaths? Here it is from AP: ------- Suspected hypothermia deaths in homes mount in Texas By JAMIE STENGLE and MARION RENAULTyesterday DALLAS (AP) — With the snow and ice clearing in Texas after days of unusually cold temperatures, bodies...

    Texas Crisis & Ted Cruz...

    Are you saying your priorities in an emergency don't include media telling the truth about the situation?

    Yes, that is true! Thanks for pointing it out. Do you agree that the headline is misleading?

    Texas Crisis & Ted Cruz...

    Ok, That's one explanation. @Arthur Brain @annabenedetti @eider What do you all think? What would be the purpose of over-inflating Texas deaths due to this storm. If the article is true, then some 50+people from other states have died due to the same storm or storms, even without power...

    "Son of Man"

    Then what does the Spirit do with the body when the body is not spiritually dead? If we don't understand what 'spiritually alive" means with respect to the body, how can we know what "spiritually dead" means with respect to the body? I think it's only stupid and unrelated because it shows that...

    "Son of Man"

    So you're saying that our minds/wills, which are spirit-led, have no control over our bodies whatsoever? When Paul said, "those who stole, steal no longer" he only meant "don't think about stealing, even as your body is robbing a bank"? That seems odd.

    "Son of Man"

    I don't want to insult such a well-written post with a simple answer, but can you explain this verse for me, at least the "body is dead" part? [Rom 8:10 KJV] 10 And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

    "Son of Man"

    I see you gave your definition of death and said it was from the bible, but I don't see anywhere that you showed where it was from in the bible. The second death is easy. It's defined in Rev 20 as "the lake of fire", which is NOT the same as defining it as "separation", though that may indeed be...

    "Son of Man"

    Could you give the definition for death from the bible? I'm in agreement with you that Jesus is God and that Jesus died, but @Hilltrot is right to question Jesus' "death" if it's not like other deaths of humans.

    What is Jesus saying here?

    Hi Bright Raven. I think you are pretty clear on what Jesus is saying there. But He made it more clear with other passages. Here are a couple verses we studied this past Sunday: [Jhn 17:3 KJV] And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou...

    What is Jesus saying here?

    I'm not sure I understand your statement. Are you saying "I" (Derf) cannot make such a statement? Or nobody can make such a statement? I agree with the first, but disagree with the second, as Jesus made that statement. The reason He can make such a statement is what we're trying to figure out...
