1Chron 29:12 - Both riches and honour come of thee,

Without middle class spenders there’s no rich.The question is, when too many people from "poor" countries overwhelm the "rich" countries, does it raise the standard of living for everyone involved, or lower it?
You can certainly make a case for Latin Americans entering the United States and raising their standard of living from what they were experiencing in El Salvador, or Guatemala, or Honduras, etc.; and they're helping out North Americans by doing work that Americans are disinclined to do.
However, you can also make a case that hundreds of thousands of Goths, Alemanni, Magyars, Burgundians, Thuringians, Vandals, Lombards, Franks, Alemanni, and Gepidae entering the Western Roman Empire definitely did not raise the standard of living for the Romans, by any stretch of the imagination.
1 Peter 4:12-13 proves you wrong.“I will keep YOU from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, TO try THOSE who dwell upon the earth.”
Rev 6:10 proves those who dwell on the earth are UNBELIEVERS:
So, I have been 'saved' three times, but I realized that I didn't mean it any of those times.
The first time I was 'saved,' I was little, so of course, I didn't mean it.
The second time, I didn't mean it either.
The third time, I just said it because I was scared of going to hell. If I tell my parents or any of my family members, they'll get upset with me. I know they will.
(By the way, sorry if this is a bit confusing. I have OCD, so...)
I personally don't know of any, but that doesn't mean all Adventists are pacifists. That's a matter of conscience not church policy.No Draft, BUT that does not mean that Christians are not going to war in the military. What about SDA?
I don't expect politics to change but Christians are supposed to evolve-If you fail to understand this age, is the age of satan and satan has possession of all of the kingdoms of the world.
Political division will continue and probably get worse. Until satan's man (king of the north, man of sin, beast from the sea) comes on the scene. Then satan will then give this person the kingdoms of the world in return for worship.
The earth will have a one world government at this time and this time will be of great distress for the earth and the people of the earth.
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
The only future time where politics and the problems associated with man rule government. Will cease will be when God brings in The Kingdom of God ruled by Jesus and the nation of Israel. Then the earth will know peace and political division will be silenced.
Until one more time satan will be released from his prison the revolt will be quickly destroyed and satan thrown into the lake of fire.
Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
I do not remember talking about a 'johnson". The Bible is clear that it is not the literal law but the symbolic law we have to follow.Which has nothing to do with circumcising your johnson.
I explicitly put over and over that I do not want someone who drinks alcohol in any capacity nor do I want children. Every match I get are women who want one or both and it just gets old. I have walked away from apps and websites and the church is no better, when I even go.
He isn't forcing his church rules on us. I don't believe that he desires to force his beliefs upon anyone.He can have an opinion about his faith. But it private business. But don't force his church rules on us.
No imputed righteousness doesn't bother me. I need it every day. Why would you even think that? The problem is you deny sanctification when God clearly says keeping the Sabbath is a sign He sanctifies us. As you dislike the Sabbath Exodus 31: 13 seems as if it is an anathema to you.just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
What is it in the above passage that you are having a conflict with? Is the part where it says apart from works?
Does having God’s righteousness imputed to you bother you? Would you rather do it yourself? I am trying to clarify where you stand.
I suspect the IQ test isn't measuring modern ways of thinking. Think "back in my day". If a test were given that measured one's ability to use a slide rule, we'd almost all fail ... and mutter "so what, not relevant". Remember when teachers used to say "they won't let you use a calculator in college".
Anyway, ways of processing the world change ... probably faster than tests that measure that do.
Just a WAG.
