I would have to make a call to someone with a master key—either a janitor or a school administrator. I don't wanna put anyone out of their way on a holiday weekend, especially when the weather is this terrible.It's crazy that you'd have to wait until Monday to get back in. There's seriously no one there on the weekend who could get you into your classroom to retrieve them?
Uggghll, I'm irritated. So, I quickly pop into the school to grab some books I need for lesson planning. On my way out, I close my classroom door. It automatically locks. The moment I hear the lock click, I remember that my classroom and car keys are still sitting on my desk!
On Monday morning, I can ask a janitor to let me in—but until then, I can't re-enter my classroom or use my car. Now I can't go to church tomorrowI would walk, but the temperatures are below freezing and we've gotten a few inches of snow this weekend. I also considered asking for a ride, but I don't have a phone number for anyone who attends my church. I don't have any friends or family in town to give me a lift either. Isolation makes things so difficult...
Why not stop beating around the bush, and call it a full scale conquest. You know it is.Of course, invading Venezuela is about oil, not drugs.
LolOur population could always stop taking illegal drugs.
Oh' my, thanks for correcting me. I thought Noah and His family and animals all drowned"7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, 9 male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah." Genesis 7 - 7 NIV
You have forgotten someone, and his wife, and their sons, and their wives.
See, even a wise guy like me, makes mistakes now and thenRubbish, where does it say "God wants to save everyone"???? Answer Nowhere!!!!. You will have to try harder than that. Back to class you goMost quoted verse in the Bible.
Here it is..."16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3-16 NIV
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2 3-4 NIV
You are technically correct of course, because that was two verses.
Thank you for confirming everything I suspected about the eastern Orthodox Denomination. I suspected that your rituals involve necromancy and black magic, and now you have confirmed it by claiming that "transubstantiation" actually takes place during your ceremony to crucify Christ afresh.I almost spit my coffee all over my monitor. You apparently are woefully ignorant of Church history. The Gnostics and all that they taught were widely condemned by the Church Fathers.
This is the same problem that one has in dealing with atheists - you show them proofs and because they do not wish to humble themselves and admit that they were wrong, they find all kinds of reasons and excuses to not believe.
1 Jesus Himself said "This IS my Body." What part of "IS" do you not get? The Jews in John 6, when told by Jesus that they had to "eat my flesh" and "drink my blood," went away both disgusted and utterly confused at this statement because it implied cannibalism. They took Him quite literally.
2. The Apostles learned from Christ and in turn, taught the next generation what He had taught them. If you read the sermons and letters of these first pastors of the Church, they taught TO A MAN, that the Eucharist is the very Body and Blood of Christ. WHERE did they learn such a thing except that the Apostles taught it to them.
3. The entirety of Christianity, even the heretics such as Arias, nonetheless believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It wasn't until the Protestant Rebellion that other heretical ideas came into being.
The word remembrance is the Greek word (ἀνάμνησις) anamnēsis means more than just to remember. It is a calling to mind with the idea that the thing being remembered is actually and truly present now. It is a making present in reality of that which is being called to mind. Rituals are extremely important in a covenant relationship. No covenant is ever made without a covenant-making ritual and no covenant is repair or experienced with out ritual. Your barren intellectualism of Protestantism has nothing to do with covenant, yet we live in the New Covenant and therefore must abide by covenant rules and rituals. And to associate the Eucharist with "black magic" is heresy in extremely bad taste.
As I said, ritual is part of covenant life. You are profoundly ignorant of what it means to live in the New Covenant of God. If you want to stop being uneducated about this most important facet of the Christian life, I highly recommend this book:

Written by a former Presbyterian Calvinist, he found that all of the rituals which he (and you) despised were actually part of the covenant relationship of God to man. And, of course, without any defense against the truth, he converted.
To hate something does not mean the same thing as to be ontologically hate. I am beyond stunned that you would make such a statement. You have no idea of ontological reality regarding God. And it is quite obvious that you are a Calvinist. You speak like one.
With that reasoning, then Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were some of the most loving people who ever existed on the face of this wretched little planet. Honestly, to suggest that someone who tortures another sentient being is a person of love is beyond the pale.
On your first point your logic is flawed. Vance is speaking of the "modern left" saying a person does not belong in America unless that person agrees with progressive liberalism. Vance is simply making the point that those whose ancestors fought in previous wars have a very real claim to citizenship. That's far different than claiming ONLY such people have a claim.
von Braun worked for the US government for 10 years before becoming a naturalized citizen. By that time, he was already Chief of Guided Missile Development at Redstone Arsenal and had a working prototype of our first ballistic missile. Yes, he and others became citizens, but you have to immigrate here first in order to do that, and the citizenship process takes years - years which these guys did not wait to contribute. Vance was blatantly wrong.On the second point you confuse the "citizens" spoken of by Vance with "immigrants." There are plenty of people (Melania Trump, for example) who came here as immigrants and later become citizens. It's a matter of history that German immigrants who later became citizens (such as Wernher Von Braun) worked together at NASA with American Jews (such as Abraham Silverstein).
The so-called rapture occurs when Jesus returns to judge the living and the dead (aka the sheep and goats judgment, the white throne judgment, and the final judgment). The people who are still on earth will rise to meet Jesus and his saints in the air, and then they will follow Jesus to the Kidron Valley (Valley of Jehoshaphat) for this final judgment. In other words, this rapture will occur at the end of time.
AND justing asking as to. where Jesus commandments under the NEW COVENANMT. are written ??We obey Jesus. We keep His commandments under the new covenant, not the commandments of the law of moses.
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments" (John 14:15).
"by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments" (1 John 2:3)
It is laughable to hear those words from a flat earther.To any reasonable person it would not have to be stated out right like this.
Thank you for acknowledging that the Lord Jesus only came to save Gods elect. Your verse proves that, because the Jews thought that He only came to save them, but He told them the awful truth that nobody is saved by their ethnicity.
Luke 4: 43 but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.”
