I agree. That they would come to a saving knowledge of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

This is what happened in Egypt in the 60's I think when Our Lady appeared over the Church frequently.
This is what occurred in African countries.

Keep on praying all.

You Tube took down the video.
Tom Fettke led the Celebration Singers, and I see some of his downloads available on Christian Book Distributors website. It would be great to get that collection.

I love learning about our faith, but I'd rather not debate.

Maybe she should review the teachings of the Church and pray the rosary more instead of wearing it.

You might suggest that they have their hearing tested.

This what I was thinking too. Although I think they are on the lower end of the spectrum.

But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless titus 3.9. I'm not interested in your religion and the new testament warns against following it-stay away from me!

Warning to avoid foolish disputes about those matters is not warning against all discussions concerning those matters, just the ones that are foolish disputes. The books of Matthew and Luke contain genealogies, so there is a time and a place for discussing them, but there are also ways of discussing them that are foolish disputes that we should avoid. Much of the NT discusses God's law, so Paul was not saying that we should avoid discussing it general. In particular, in Titus 3:1-8, Paul exhorted us to do good works, and according to 2 Timothy 3:16-17, all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for equipping us to do every good work, so Titus 3:9 should not be interpreted as Paul turning around and speaking against exhorting people to do good works in obedience to Scripture. The NT warns against sin and sin is the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4).

I have a book by him called "Heaven", picked it up used some time back, but haven't made myself read it yet. I think it's over 500 pages. A former Sunday School teacher did recommend it, said it's quite good.

I have read it also. I thought it was quite good as well
it is thought provoking and fun to read. I would suggest it. We don't spend very much time thinking about heaven in the church anymore seems like. It was nice to see what randy had to say. Go for it!

Sorry Mark I don't buy you're trying to make it seem like there's a big difference. I don't believe God intended the lady to be victimized nor did he want it. You're trying to say God intended an insidious thing happen to an innocent victim but that doesn't mean he wanted it. I still don't believe your position makes rational sense.

Was God's intention of Christ to be crucified any less heinous? (Acts 2:23) Or is that just necessary collateral damage of salvaging an otherwise botched attempt to get freewilled people to obey and go to heaven?

The Los Angeles Police Department has arrested a suspect in the shootings of two men outside synagogues in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood of L.A. over the last two days.

The man has a history of animus toward the Jewish community, law enforcement sources told The Times.

In a statement late Thursday, the LAPD said that “the facts of the case led to the crime being investigated as a hate crime.”

The first shooting occurred around 10 a.m. Wednesday near the intersection of Shenandoah and Cashio streets, when a man in his 40s was shot in the back while walking to his vehicle, authorities said. The second was around 8:30 a.m. Thursday near Pickford and South Bedford streets — about two blocks away — when a man walking home was shot in the arm. Both victims survived the attacks.

Was it Kanye?

I like cable tv, because it has an order and regularity in the way they broadcast shows that streaming services don't. Some people may prefer the latter, but personally when I watch a 1-hour show it becomes a 1.30 hour task because I take pauses here and there to do something, plus I may binge on a show if I'm enjoying it, even if I have things to do. Like social media, I prefer to stay away of things that have potential to distract me.

Another thing is that I don't feel I'm being manipulated, because like social media apps, streaming services follow algorithms that show you content so you will spend more time using them, and to promote their not-so-good shows with false ratings. Content in cable tv is more general, it doesn't creep me out as much as netflix or other services.

Having said that, I still using streaming services. I'd use more cable if it were cheaper and had less ads.

This right here tells me you don't really understand how things work. Google searches include how many times each word in the search occurs. Think about how often the word "and" occurs.

And those are some of the hits you got in that Google search. And I suppose I'm supposed to read and research all of them, even though there there's a good chance you didn't.

I never cease to be amazed by how many psychics and mind readers there are on the Internet.

I think at best like most you just dabble in this and have acquired a certain amount of surface knowledge/jargon. Like Greta Thunberg

Much like invoking Vice President Gore, mentioning Ms. Thunberg suggests more about your knowledge of climate change than it does about your interlocutor.

Murderers are usually silent when they kill - and they smile slyly when they do it. Many of them wear white lab coats and delude themselves by thinking their 3,200,000 numbers are greater than the billions upon billions of angels and inhabitants of unfallen worlds and Bible believing Christians...and smile with contempt at anyone who refuses to believe ridiculous lies about millions and millions of years of what took God six literal days.

I am a conservative evangelical Bible believing Christian whom God, in His infinite wisdom, chose to bless with an excellent education and a healthy mind so that I could participate in the sharing of the gospel without commingling it and contaminating it with rubbish! Indeed, there is nothing at all in the Bible that even remotely suggests that the earth is less than 4.54 billion years old.

For proof from the Bible itself that the young earth interpretation is seriously incorrect, please see especially the 648-page commentary on the Hebrew text of Genesis 1-11 by Claus Westermann, and the commentary on the Hebrew text of Genesis by John Skinner, Principal and Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature, Westminster College, Cambridge. For further supporting evidence, please also see the commentaries on the Hebrew text of Genesis by Ephraim A. Speiser and Gerhard von Rad, scholars who are also internationally known for their in depth knowledge of the Hebrew language.

(For an excellent article on the age of the earth written from an evangelical Christian perspective, please see the following: Radiometric Dating )

CMI and other young earth creation organizations claim that the rate of decay of radioactive atoms is not necessarily constant, but no deviations have been found from the equation for radioactive decay as it relates to geological time [D = D0 + N(t) (eλt − 1)]. Moreover, no young earth creationist has ever explained from physics how it could even be possible for the rate of decay of radioactive atoms to change significantly. For an explanation of the physics involved, please see the article linked to above.

In Burns' masterpiece, Shelby Foote points out that the Union fought the war with one hand held behind it's back. The annual Harvard/Yale regatta was held every year during the war for example. If the war had started going truly badly, the Union would just have pulled that second arm out.

I am in a group at church where we read a passage from the Bible every week and talk about it and how it relates to our life. The pastor picks the passage - it's often the one we'll read in church the following Sunday. This has been a good experience. The passages are often insightful and beautiful.

Since I have never read the entire Bible, this year I decided to do one of those programs where you read the whole bible in a year. I hoped it would bring me closer to God.

I'm afraid it had the opposite effect.

I read the book of Job and most of Genesis and then I quit reading. Unlike the New Testament verses we read in my church group, some of the stuff I'm reading in the Old Testament is deeply disturbing. The verses that bother me the most are Genesis 19:1-8. It's the passage where Lot offers to let a mob of Sodomites rape his daughters.

My pastor explained to me that it was another time and another culture, but that's not helping me. I assume God gave us the Bible because He wants us to read it. Why would God want me to read about Sodomites trying to rape angels and Lot offering his daughters to them?!?

I have heard people say that the Bible is God's love letter to us. I was not prepared for how horrible some parts of the Old Testament are.

Also, I know that Jesus uses parables in the New Testament, but parts of the Old Testament seem to be fictional but they aren't presented as so. It made me wonder how we can tell which parts of the Bible are true and which are not. Since so much about what we know about God comes from the Bible, this experience has shaken me a bit.

Is there a way to know which parts of the Bible are trustworthy and worth reading? Why do you think the story about Lot and Sodom is in the Bible at all?

These things happen all the time in theirs and ours. I am curious why you think that a record of it in the Bible is so offensive? Read the paper. Watch the news. God did not intend to sugar coat the reality of ancient times. He wants you to know what happens to a culture/nation that rejects God and descends into depravity and wickedness. As to Lot, remember what Peter said about the condition of his soul:

2 Peter 2:7-8 KJV
7. And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8. (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds

The viewing of filth and the actions of the wicked has this effect on people It vexes your soul where you may actually offer up children. We see this today as people offer their children up to the the sexually degenerates in schools. They are being conditioned into becoming the same as what you see in Sodom. This could happen to you if you watch gay trash on the TV and movies. The message is not to let yourself become vexed with this filth. Get away from it. Get away from the people who practice it and promote it. Get your kids out of the schools that teach it to 3th graders and encourage them to act on it.

2 items of historical trivia:

On March 4, 1789, the newly written Constitution officially went into effect. The very first Congress met in New York City, but had to adjourn because there wasn’t a quorum.

And 90 years ago today, with the country wrestling with the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated to his 1st term as POTUS.
