And that law was there because people thought it was moral.You confuse morality as being equivalent to legality.
So a non Christian can fully accept who Jesus was, that he came to earth to die for our sins and reconcile us to God, that he told people to repent, (Mark 1:15, Luke 13:5) and that he said his blood was for the forgiveness of sins - but they don't need to repent of those sins?-A person can believe in Jesus for God's free gift of Eternal Life without repenting of sin/sins. Repenting has noting to do with believing in Jesus
Did I have to repent of what?You believe people went to the moon, did you have to repent to believe this.
People can be totally certain that Jesus existed, lived, taught and died, without really and fully accepting the fact that God loves them, personally.Believing is simply being convinced something is true.
Where did I say that we do?God can forgive, even for things as bad as what King David did. He sincerely and contritely asked God for forgiveness.
But we must not think we get that automatically.
Isn't it?Persecution is not the same as the forthcoming great test of our faith by fire.
It's your interpretation that, "the fiery ordeal that HAS come upon you" is the same as "the heavens and earth are reserved for fire."What 1 Peter 4:12 says - relates to 2 Peter 3:7. Same event.
Which bit is "in the realms of fantasy" - the Holy Spirit changing us into Jesus' image, 2 Corinthians 3:18, or the Holy Spirit confirming to us that we are children of God, Romans 8:16?Your imagination carries you into the realms of fantasy.
We faithful Christians are the peoples of God, scattered around the world, soon to be gathered into all of the Holy Land.
In that case you must believe that God is mistaken.What God said in Exodus 32:33, is an immutable fact and is never said to be repealed.
No, I should have said that it WOULD be living forever in the lake of fire - if it happened.I simply do not believe that. There is no purpose served and it seems to be vindictive, not Gods nature at all.
Which they are free to do as a church. This is a hospital.Is the debate now going into denomination politics and theology. Not sure thats a good idea lol. Though I think the label you have made would not be the majority of Catholics. Seems more extreme end of politics and religion using that narrative.
I am getting confused now. How does the denominational beliefs relate to health care. Or any right within secular society under the constitution or human rights. Human and constitutional rights would allow different denominations to practice their beliefs. Even if you disagree. They are doing nothing wrong as far as secular rights and freedoms when it comes to other denominations.
But I don't know what you mean by "the appearance of objectivity".
Then why object to the suggestion that some sort of lathing was involved.Right, it saves a lot of work.
Ok so we find some precision vases 5,000 years ago and its the culture and not the craftman.Yes the "culture" but not necessarily the craftsmen themselves. QED, huh?
lol you suggested they were using a lathe or wheel. You suggested that a boring bar was used as a lathe to explain the precise synnetry and circularity.More lies. No one has suggested that they used nothing but their "unaided freehands."
Wait a minute you just literally said above that no one has suggested the ancients use nothing but their unaided hands. Now your saying they used the lathe as an aid to reach the precision.More lies. I have never denied that some sort of wheel or lathe might have been used.
How exactly. How exactly have I said anything different to you. Make up your mind. Did they use a lathe or not. If so your saying exactly what I am saying.Because you are downgrading the ability of ancient Egyptian craftsman to use the tools that were known to be used by them or were possibly available to them.
You just said you have never denied a lathe being used. You have been explaining how a lathe can answer the question of how the ancients achieved high precision in symmetry and roundness. You said even a 1950's lathe can do this as you have used one lol.I don't know. The lathe question is certainly up in the air,
No this is the consensus opinion of mainstream archeology. The potters wheel and Bore stick did not come along until at least a 1,000 years after the Naqada people.though you have denied the possibility of any lathe that would be within the scope of their ability to construct. Their "culture" wasn't good enough for you.
Actually you explained why it is necessary. You explained how the near precise symmetry and circularity was produced by lathing. That lathing explains this signature and not unaided hands without lathing and just chisels and pounders.And I am trying to explain to you why that is not necessary.
lol my imagination is making me laugh.You seem fascinated with "bare hands." I would tell you what to do with your "bare hands" but I don't think they would both fit.
I thought the sardonic 500 eyerolls were implied but...Are you conceding on that point; or is that your answer to my question?
I forgot the tarifs.Job losses are part of the picture. When people can't afford to buy products; employers need to downsize to stay in business.
Another part of the picture is that as costs rise due to inflation; wage increases are not keeping in step; so those who manage to keep their jobs, are feeling the squeeze too.
Europe is mostly done with Russian fossil fuels.World economies are all connected.
Europe depends heavily on Russian energy. That energy is being cut off. That means that there is less energy on the market. Europe's people are struggling to heat their homes. Their economy is in the dumper.
Suppressed how?As this world runs on energy, it boggles my mind that the price of oil is being suppressed in the face of short supply and rising inflation.
From whom?Wars burn a lot of energy too. I don't believe that it's coincidence that Iran, and Venezuela, have recently become sharp points of interest.
Good grief.I believe that WWIII is already started; and I suspect that this ruse will soon come to an end.
Could you do less?However, I still pray for peace.
Matthew 18:10 KJV
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
.....
What does this mean? Do the little children have angel in heaven that is connected to them? Do we all have an angel in heaven that corresponds to us?
Do some of our angels do something other than behold God? Is my angel less innocent/good than a child's angel?
Or does it mean that when a child dies it becomes a particularly devoted angel?
Do we become angels if we go to heav lighten?
Or is the soul actually an angel and we are in heaven at the same time as being on earth without knowing it? We are our own angel, so to speak?
Or... what does it mean?
Cheers
The legend of the Jews by BY LOUIS GINZBERG
Between morning and evening the angel carries the soul around, and shows her where she will live and where she will die, and the place where she will buried, and he takes her through the whole world, and points out the just and the sinners and all things. In the evening, he replaces her in the womb of the mother, and there she remains for nine months.
When the time arrives for man to quit this world, the same angel appears and asks him, "Dost thou recognize me?" And man replies, "Yes; but why dost thou come to me to-day, and thou didst come on no other day?" The angel says, "To take thee away from the world, for the time of thy departure has arrived." Then man falls to weeping, and his voice penetrates to all ends of the world, yet no creature hears his voice, except the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] alone. Man remonstrates with the angel, "From two worlds thou didst take me, and into this world thou didst bring me." But the angel reminds him: "Did I not tell thee that thou wert formed against thy will, and thou wouldst be born against thy will, and against thy will thou wouldst die? And against thy will thou wilt have to give account and reckoning of thyself before the Holy One, blessed be He."
That's like asking me to prove I don't beat my wife. An effective slanderer depends upon lies they know others are going to find difficult to disprove. It's not like anyone can interview all the millions of immigrants and have them provide evidence they were never in a prison or a mental institution.How do you know? Are you at the meetings? Do you have the Intel? Show me the documents.
The millions of immigrants who he says are coming from prisons and mental institutions who are not coming from mental institutions or prisons.Who's he slandering?
I don't believe so.The countries where those people are coming from?
I'm sure there have been illegals who probably have been in prison before. But Trump in general is slandering the millions of immigrants who are people just like you or me. Trump dislikes undocumented immigrants based upon negative prejudice. I know that because he said that he doesn't want birthright citizenship for immigrants. Trump does not want children born from undocumented immigrants to become citizens.How do you know that zero illegals have been in prison or zero illegals immigrants have been in a mental hospital?
I don't know. Why don't you go find it and read it.Is this all the Democratic bill does? Is it really a clean CR that merely makes the change you mention. If not, isn't this a strawman?
Quote it then.What you suggest SHOULD be presented on the floor by Democrats or should be presented as an amendment of the Republican bill, perhaps even by a Republican.
From all that I have seen, The Democratic bill includes much, much more. I suppose I shouldn't have called it a repeal of the law of the land. It is indeed its own law with the expect of repealing sections of the law passed earlier this year.
You do realize that Hamas had to agree to this peace deal, right? This is the first time that Hamas has actually accepted and agreed to a peace deal with Israel.And two days before the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded...
Too little, too late (along with all the extortion for rare earth minerals, all the immigrants sent to virtual death camps in alligator alcatraz, el salvador, sudan, etc., the zip-tied children, the hungry children losing food assistance, the children whose fathers are deported, etc., etc.,
I hope President Zelensky wins the Nobel Prize for peace.
There is no such thing as free anything it is paid for one way or another.
I still have a desk job and a little depressed too. I did used to spend a lot of time with video games but lost interest and ran out of energy for it eventually, I think you just grow out of it. I think some if not with video games are obsessed with other silly and probably more expensive hobbies.
That's why I'm a little surprised that mid-aged men would still be hooked to video games
Hello @BBLEE, that seems to be true according to the Bible. Along with three of the four kinds of "soils" in Matthew 13, there is this,I have heard something similar, that those who seem to get saved and then turn away were never truly saved in the first place
