Unless they are seen landing with alien creatures coming out of them , UFOs in the sky today are now defunct and have been replaced with drones.
Anybody claiming to see a UFO will be told that they are only seeing drones.

Ahh I long for the good old days before drones came along , it was more interesting.

HSI arrived at Home Depot only wearing vests. Just how unequipped and defenseless are they supposed to be?

It doesn’t look like they’re fighting their way through violent mobs.

In the places where civil disobedience made tremendous change, such as British India and the Jim Crow South, they didn't expect the courts to rule in their favor but for the laws to be changed from pressure from the public.

Well, I was there in the Jim Crow south, and yes, the expectation was for the courts to rule in our favor--even if that turned out to be the Supreme Court.

We never, ever expected the white Jim Crow public in the south to change the laws themselves. And generally, they didn't. Even when the courts invalidated those laws, they kept the invalidated Jim Crow laws on the books instead of repealing them because, and I quote from one Oklahoma legislator: "To avoid sending an unwanted message to our voters."

Has anyone considered that it has never been about us but about God's Will finally being done? Jesus' Gospel after all was of the Kingdom, His will be done in earth

Funny how there were no angry mobs before ICE showed up.

Yeah they have to put people down when they get too unruly. The so-called "battle gear" law enforcement wears is because people shoot and stab them. If they didn't take preventive measures like wearing vests and taking down unruly people, a lot more of them would get killed. You should watch some bodycam videos and see what all they have to deal with. An unruly person is an unruly person no matter who they are. And when someone gets unruly with the police they become a threat. I doubt the guy had "I'm David Huerta the President of SEIU and I'm harmless" written on his forehead.

It’s kinda funny to me seeing them dressed like they’re facing the Russians off in eastern Ukraine somewhere and then they’re just arresting Paco the tile guy in a Home Depot parking lot or terrorizing people just having lunch at a local restaurant just to take down a dishwasher and bus boy.

Trump orders an investigation into Biden and his alleged use of the autopen

The announcement Wednesday directs the White House counsel and Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether anyone "conspired to deceive the public about Biden's mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President." It is an escalation of an issue that Trump and his allies have frequently raised, possibly paving the way for Republicans to argue that many of Biden’s actions as president were invalid.

It’s nice hearing a long story tonight so personal. You need to get to church and obey God. A Bible teaching church has guidance, Gods love, the truth. You need to see where you stand with Him and get close again. You are backsliding. The gospel, the word of God can help. Then just keep going and get filled a be full of the Lord. He is real and your lack of food is keeping you weak and undecided. The Bible says He is a rewarded of those who diligently seek Him. Which means you get your answers you faith becomes strong. You are sure and undefiled.
church was the first step for me and now I trust Him. But life is not perfect. You can have ‘Joy in trials and’pleasure in afflictions’. You can have His peace in the midst of the storm. And he loves you. You need His love. I recommend Calvary Chapel if there is one near you. To hear the Bible expounded on is great. It will fill your soul with good things. Life is a test, you need help. God is there.

That's not what the Bible states. It's eternal life or death. Again, Malachi makes it very clear there is neither root or branch left. The wicked will be ashes under our feet. The very first definition of apollumi in the Strong's Greek is "destroy fully" So if we pair that with Malachi and Christ's teachings on the subject than I think we can safely state it is the final death. Again, it's always been life or death. What you are stating is that everyone gets eternal life and even John 3:16 tells us this is not true along with many other verses.

Why doesn't that verse state "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that everyone would not perish and have have eternal life"?? Because that's what you're basically believing even though the verse does not state that.

Yes, and the body is the first death, the soul is the second. After that, there is not one verse that states the wicked are refined in the LOF, prepared for the devil and his angels come Judgement Day. Again, we are told specifically they will be ashes under our feet.

If you want to continue to work your way around Christ's teachings on the subject as well as his statements to the churches to repent even as far as stating that whosoever overcomes will not have their names blotted out of the book of life, etc than so be it. Believe what you will....

Our body dies not our spirit, physical death is what was the price that Adam gave us 1 Cor 15:22 " As in Adam all died as in Jesus all will live"
How much plainer can it get?
The ashes in you are referring to are the dead bodies, you know ashes to ashes dust to dust, all bodies turn back to the ground.
You are getting your verses mixed up. 2 Peter 3:9"The Lord is not slacking concerning his promises as some count slackness, but is long suffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"
You say there are no verses that say anyone gets out of the LOF, but show me one verse that says they don't. (don't use the English translation use the original Greek words)
Tell me how the sheep, coin and old wineskin are no more, according to the definition you gave they should be destroyed fully, yet the sheep and coin were just lost and the old wineskin was just torn open no longer able to be used for holding wine.
John 3:17" For God sent the Son into the cosmos not that he might pass judgement on the cosmos, but that the cosmos might be saved through him"
Why do you think Jesus failed in his mission, because according to your interpretation Jesus fails and fails miserably when only a few are saved?

From your perspective, no.

It is my perspective of the OP.

Jipsah said:
From your Damnationist viewpoint, the vast majority of the people ever born are Childen of Satan, thus setting Christ's sacrifice at nought for most of those for whom He presumably died. Because of the supremacy of Free Will which trumps the Will and Authority of God and and Christ's sacrifice on the cross, it's "Poor God, There's Just Nothing He Can Do" other than chuck most of those for whom Christ lived, suffered, and died into hell to live eternally in torment.

Those who choose to be cast away rejected the chance to avoid such a fate, and didn't accept it.

Jipsah said:
Personally, I think that idea is rubbish. It elevates the will of humans, which is based primarily on ignorance, stupidity, and overt manipulation by both human and inhuman agencies to a greater importance than God's Will. That's simply idiotic.

The OP's doctrine makes man's ignorance, stupidity, and overt manipulation of no consequence.
The OP offers them the same conclusion as the faithful will inherit, thus making sin of no effect.
"Ye shall not surely die"...comes to mind. (Gen 3:4)

Jipsah said:
I have grandkids, whose lives I value far more than I do my own. Do I let them do whatever seems good to them base o their "free will" without regard for the consequences? Fat chance, I love them, Do I let Sejong ride his trike in the street? I do not, his three year old "free will"be blowed. Do I let little Soren eat the stuff he finds on the ground and decides looks tasty, or stuff gravel up his nose? Nope; heartless tyrant that I am, I violate his Sacred Free Will, because I know more stuff than he does, understand how things work better than he does, and understand that the big world tosses endless temptations at him that he sees no reason to resist. Does he understand and appreciate me looking after his welfare? He does not, and often expresses his dipleasure in a loud voice, and by lying in the floor and throwing his toys.

It appears that you are getting the same kind of reverence that God is getting here, from the disobedient.
Are there no repercussions in your home ?
Or will it, like the OP's POV, be treated with approval ?

Jipsah said:
Now I reckon I could declare the young 'uns Children of Disobedience and arrange some means of having them perpetually punished for being so naughty, but I actually love them, and would literally lay down my life for them to prevent any such thing from happening.

"Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell." (Pro 23:14)
Not much of a threat for you, I guess.

Jipsah said:
Yeah, I'll step all over their Free Will, just as my parents and grandparents did mine, (Thanks be to God!) And just as I hope God will stomp all over my idiotic Free Will and shove me back into line. He already laid down His life for me (and all of us), so I reckon He's shown how far He's willing to go to save His young 'uns.

Yeah, He could say to us "Yeah, I died for you, but you've been little swine, so to hell with you!" but somehow I have to believe that God is not just smarter and more powerful than us, but also better than us. Radical concept, innit? Maybe He's motivated more by love than by anger and malice. He's given us reason to believe that, hasn't He?

So bottom line for me: Is God bound by our "Free Will" (which, BTW, isn't free at all, but that's a different thread)? Sure, just like I am by my grandkid's free will, I.e., not at all. Does God want to save everyone? He says so: "…God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth", so who's gonna stop Him? Us? Yeah, just like my grandkids will stop me from protecting them by lying in the floor and screaming. Is God powerless to see His will done by anyone or anything? If your answer to that is yes, then we have nothing more to discuss, because we're talking about different deities.

His will is being done.
His goats will not inherit eternal life.
That is His will.

Endurance? Look at women in ultrarunning. They don't always beat the men, but they have done so often enough.

Do you know why I raised the fencing example?

It's because I am a fencer, a foilist. I, as a man, regularly lose to women in my club. Why is that?

It's because skill is much more important at certain levels than strength and faster reaction times.

Sure, I get lucky from time to time. I get a skill shot at times. But they regularly beat me. And it's not because they're stronger or faster. It's because they're more skilled. It's because they have better point control. It's because they have better footwork. It's because they're better at parries.

So, no, it's not black and white.

There is a reason why the issue relates to men playing in women sports rather than women playing in men sports.

There are indeed women that had tremendous skill and endurance and have competed in men sports however that is a testament to their perseverance and resolve and not the norm.

Men in women sports is not related to their perseverence or resolve but to their inherent biological advantage. Biologically, men have muscular, skeletal and genetical advantages that make the competition inherently unfair. The issue is indeed black and white.

So, some of you may remember that I was undergoing a review process. It was announced today that I will finish up in the parish here at the end of September. The bishop tells me the decision is basically for my wellbeing; he feels that the parish have very unreasonable expectations (his exact words were "they wouldn't be happy with Jesus himself,"), and that it wouldn't be good for me to continue in that situation.

New adventures await! Not sure yet exactly where I'll be going; various options to explore. But I think he's made the right decision, so I look forward to seeing how it all unfolds.
