The Painter of Light! He had a gallery nearby in Kerrville. TX. Always put a scripture verse below his signature. Truly a God-given talent.

I think you're premise is wrong

Catechism of Trent

Those Who Are Not Members Of The Church

Hence there are but three classes of persons excluded from the Church’s pale: infidels, heretics and schismatics, and excommunicated persons. Infidels are outside the Church because they never belonged to, and never knew the Church, and were never made partakers of any of her Sacraments. Heretics and schismatics are excluded from the Church, because they have separated from her and belong to her only as deserters belong to the army from which they have deserted. It is not, however, to be denied that they are still subject to the jurisdiction of the Church, inasmuch as they may be called before her tribunals, punished and anathematised. Finally, excommunicated persons are not members of the Church, because they have been cut off by her sentence from the number of her children and belong not to her communion until they repent.

Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn’t the Tridentine Catechism been superseded by the Catechism of the Catholic Church? Since, for example, Orthodox Christians and members of the Assyrian Church of the East are now allowed to receive the sacraments from Catholic churches if they are unable to reach one of their own parishes for whatever reason, and likewise Catholics can receive the Eucharist, as far as Rome is concerned, from Orthodox and Assyrians (in practice, only the Assyrian Church of the East and some Syriac Orthodox parishes are likely to allow this intercommunion, but it is authorized from the Catholic side).

Earth prepares for solar storm impact from three CMEs this weekend

Solar activity has reached high levels in the past 24-36 hours, with background flux at or near M1.0. The most significant developments from the Sun include the growth and merging of Regions 3664 and 3668, as well as the production of numerous M-class solar flares and two X-class solar flares from CMEs that are expected to arrive at Earth this weekend.

It's terrible the jokes coming out of this report. How could anyone find anything funny in it?

I know, but I'm wondering if or how he'll ever live it down that he had a worm living rent free in his brain for a little while till it found nothing of interest, curled up and died. People loose brain cells for other reasons but his is unique.

So the sequence (code) was created by nature? Code's NEVER get created w out intelligent design, we know this.

The code is a description of the chemicals not inherit to them.

You could create a code for classifications of river turn shapes then describe every river on Earth with them, it wouldn't make them a code.

"Before the actual gene there is a genetic "switch" in the DNA before the DNA part that codes for a protein."
Where did the DNA come from? How about the machinery to interpret DNA? did they evolve at the same time? If so, what luck!!!!

It's not a translation like a language, it's a chemical reaction. It's like asking how the mud knows to be the shape of your boot when you step in it or how the mirror knows to look like you.

Machinery, code and other descriptions are meant to be a helpful analogy to help people understand the multi step process, not be taken literally.

People have being trying to explain this to you for a month.

I know. I use tech for those purposes too, and to listen to wholesome Christian music. I wonder how many people have "killed" hundreds in games, and I think it shows in the escalations of shootings and mass shootings, that and rock music, or TV all is an influence to someone whose mind is already a slave to satan, and he uses these tech things to push people over the edge.

I don't like the excuse people make, "well, that killer had a weak mind to be influenced by music, or tv, or video games." Sure they do! It's true, but not an excuse. Because without Jesus Christ as our Saviour, and not only our Saviour but our Master and Lord who sanctifies us, we are very weak minded, as Cain who slew his brother Able, or david who in just a moment of compromise descended into adultery and then murder and lying.

Agreed, as it is said in the Bible. 1 Thessalonians 5:22-23 (KJV): "Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

What do you mean by "they polled the jury"?
A sitting jury can't discuss the case with anyone, even amoungst themselves, until they go into deliberation.

They asked if they had seen Stormy Daniels’ tweet. It was something along the lines of “Real men testify.”

I never follow the directions and add extra. I knew my son was going to be a cook when he offered me a peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich at 5 years old, which I politely declined. Now he seems to be a cook like you.

Do you believe discrimination against Muslim countries for the safety of our country is acceptable?

I believe all countries should be vetted equally, and strictly before entering our country, regardless of religion.

Yum. Lasagna is one thing I don't tend to make myself; for the amount of effort that goes into it, I'm happy to buy a pre-made one.

I agree. It is, however, one of the dishes my mother pulled off reasonably well when she was ambitious.

Man, those pork chops look good!
"Above 140°F things start to go south pretty fast. Muscle fibrils tense up very tight, expelling internal moisture in copious amounts—a chop can lose up to 30% of its moisture when cooked to 150°F or higher. Here be dragons. You want to stay away."

I like my pork to come out like jerky and my (edit: wife doesn't.)

If you like crunchy pork then eat pork rinds

. Crispy bacon was probably discovered (not as a total loss toss it) when a guy like you prefers moisture starved pork.

Kind of like how cherries are destroyed in order to make marachino cherries. (mara means die/death) chino means shee no kidding.

But seriously, yesterday I fried some deli ham to substitute bacon for a home customized sub sandwich. When I don't have the ingredients for what I want, I make due or experiment. That's probably where pb&j sandwiches came from. I like the idea of using jelly with meatballs for a complimentary sauce. It tastes good. Even if my mother thought it was crazy. She has no culinary sense of adventure.

Ahhhh again.
It's the political label that is the MOST important attribute of a person...NOT their character.

The bigger picture:

Matthew 25
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

And since you care about the bigger picture, have you given all your possessions and property to illegal migrants as an act of love?

God has never stopped exercising His authority.

Having Authority and applying it are two different things.

God Has exercised His authority off and on from Genesis to Jude…. But all Revelation related DAY OF THE LORD PROPHECIES haven’t occurred yet. This is obvious!

You say Zechariah 14 has happened… but it hasn’t…

If you read the rest, it’s obvious.

Zach 14:
This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.14 Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16 Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worshipthe King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain. 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[b] will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.
20 On that day holy to the Lord will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar. 21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that daythere will no longer be a Canaanite[c] in the house of the Lord Almighty.

Okay.

First of all, you feel guilty about your sin before God, only believers feel that. Non-believers do not. But if I my, what exactly is bothering you?

I don’t think I’m truly repentant. I feel ‘guilty’ yes but it’s more of a remorse over my sins- I can’t be contrite or sincere. I know repentance results in a change of action and so far I’ve been trying but I might not sincerely desire it (sorry if that doesn’t make sense) and I don’t feel conviction
