Grace began in Gen 3, the moment Adam sinned , since God has stated that to was to die, and Adam lived over 900 years after he sinned.

The Law of God is written on the heart under the New Covenant according to Jer 31 and according to Heb 8 and Heb 10.

"Sin is transgression of the Law" 1 John 3:4, still even in the NT age.

So then , it is "still a sin to take God's name in vain" just as it always was.

My personal opinion, buy a new one. Software update is an important issue. The problem you brought up about the device from Walmart and having charging issues is another thing to consider.

I can't say how common this problem is, but I don't think the renewed devices at any place are thoroughly checked. Just my opinion.

I hope you can find a great price somewhere. I know Apple products are expensive.

Go to GOD in prayer and confess to HIM your fear and ignorance of HIS way and truth. Ask GOD to have mercy on you and for HIM to teach you HIS ways. Psalm 25:8-9 James 1:5 James 4:10 No man can do this for you. Jesus gave his life so that you can have a connection to GOD, use it, forget men and their churches. Men can lie to you but GOD will not. Work out your own salvation in fear and trembling. No man can do this for you either. I did this 30 years ago and have no regrets.

The Constitution forbids government support of religion entirely, not just support for a particular religion. On the other hand, students can express such beliefs if they do it without school support. For example, they can make a poster showing a religious belief if the assignment is to make a poster for a particular subject. When I was teaching science, some students elected to do that.

I changed a Psalm passage noted above, but I didn't change that part. It originally said 2 Corinthians 12:2-4. Here it is from the NKJV. I think that I know what happened. When you hold the arrow over that passage, it only shows it down to about halfway in verse four. You need to click on the "more" to get the rest of verse four.

2 Corinthians 12:2-4 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows-- how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

I believe the whole Law incudes the Pentateuch; which has been removed by God, and the Jews who do not believe in Christ presently have no Covenant. Like Jesus, James was still teaching the Law until 40 years when the Romans destroyed the second Temple. With no Temple they cannot continue in the Law, i.e. sacrifices, etc. . "He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second" (Heb 10:9).

Yes, the Law, often referred to as the Pentateuch, consists of the first five books of the Bible—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy—and contains laws and instructions given by God to the people of Israel. It is considered both a legal framework and a historical narrative that guides the moral and spiritual conduct of the community. Bible.org

I am a big believer of allowing the Bible to define Itself. The Law that was added because of sin (animal scarifies) cannot be the same law that defines what sin is. 1 John3:4 James 2:11 Rom7:7 Mat5:19-30 I believe James spoke of exactly what he was referring to what "He said" only quoting and contrasting the Ten Commandments.

Do you believe John the Baptist was baptizing people with water? John 1:26
Do you believe Jesus was baptized with water?
Jesus' disciples were baptizing lots of people before Pentecost, but Jesus did not baptize anyone.
John 4:1 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.
Acts 8:36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing.

Hey bling

I'm not sure what your point of contention is here. Elaborate on it if you have one. Right now I'm only guessing. Yes, all those verses say water baptism. Do you agree that Jesus did and still does baptize with the Holy Spirit in response to a genuine faith, which "places us" in Him, a spiritual "immersion" that makes us one with Him, the Body, the true Church? You'll notice that anything that I wrote that is between "quotation marks" are used in place of the word baptism, because they mean the same thing. Example....

1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

My translation: For by one Spirit we were all "placed into" into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

another....

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

My interpretation: I indeed "immerse" you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will "immerse" you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

bling said:

I specifically in my post: Water baptism is not a “requirement” for salvation, since God does the saving, but is something Christians get to do to help them and others.

Click to expand...

Sorry, it sounded to me like you're playing both sides of the fence. So many today are wrongly taught that water baptism is what initiates the Spiritual baptism. If you're being water baptized, you already have faith, and are already spiritually baptized by Jesus with the Holy Spirit before you hit that water. Agree?

bling said:

1 Peter 3:...In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, 21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
The water (and Peter is talking about real water here) is not to cleanse (wash the body), but the water (coming up out of the water) represents Christ resurrection.

Click to expand...

Sorry bling, I disagree. I believe that the water represents God's judgment. That's what the flood was. "In Christ", our Arc, we are protected from that Judgment just like Noah and family were. It's a perfect picture of our Spirit baptism. Not the removal of filth from the flesh is just like saying not water baptism. Just so there was no misunderstanding.

bling said:

Circumcision was not done away with (replaced) on Pentecost water baptism. Paul never said Jews should not be circumcised and/or baptism replace circumcision. I think we can agree John's water baptism stopped, so did Christian water baptism replace John's baptism?
Again water baptism does not save you, but does it help you?

Click to expand...

Hey bling, the circumcision's comment was just a point of possible interest that I threw in there.

OT water baptism was simply identifying with a persons teachings publicly. That's all it is. A public testimony. That idea carried over to the NT. It pictured outwardly what had already happened inwardly as a result of faith. It identified us with Christ Jesus publicly. Some were baptized only into the name of Jesus because the Holy Spirit and the Father were already understood to be a part of them. The point of contention with the public testimony of these OT believers would have been the name Jesus. Others, found it better to publicly identify with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, since they were never believers in the OT.

OT believers were baptized into the name of the teacher they were under. Remember Paul confronting the Corinthians for arguing about being baptized by Paul or Apollos? It all came from that. The one true baptism is the one BY Jesus with the Holy Spirit. It's a spiritual baptism initiated by faith. Water baptism comes after that fact as a public testimony. Paul even finished by saying that "Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel". That would be a very, very odd thing to say if water baptism had anything to do with anything beyond a public testimony.

1 Corinthians 1:12-17 Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

bling, I've seen this with Catholicism before, they are not really doing what they are doing, and not really saying what they are saying. You're language just sounded very familiar to the kind of language that they so often use, hence the "playing both sides of the fence" comment. Sorry if I misunderstood.

All of these are metaphorical of the body’s “rest” in the grave. We still use the saying today when we say about the newly departed to “rest in peace”. The sleep does not include the spirit.

A perfect example is Stephen’s prayer as he was being stoned.

“They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” Then he fell on his knees and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he fell asleep.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭7‬:‭59‬-‭60‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

Stephen's cry, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit," makes it clear that his spirit was active and going to Jesus, not sleeping. However, he fell asleep when his body died.

Then should it not follow that the immigrants should also do likewise? Everybody here in North America has roots in immigrants. What built, rather than tore down the growing civilization, was a willingness to work together to nourish the new society and following its rules, not bring with them what they found unsettling about their land of birth, like an infection into a healthy land. Unfortunately it is not only the greed of some immigrants that come for the wrong reasons, but also in the established who are unwilling to share with any. Hence there has always been a vetting process which should not be ignored. This isn't an auction of a storage facility where one takes a chance there might be something of value. That mentality has been the downfall of all the former civilized and prosperous nations in recent years. There has been an influx of people, not coming to build, but to take. Turning the other cheek does not mean the altruists must put up with the abuse. Like the Kingdom, there are stipulations for entry.

Children across the U.S. received awards for their artwork portraying the Nativity of Jesus in Washington, D.C.

“Through their creativity, they have beautifully expressed the story of Christ’s humble beginning and what it means to be young missionary disciples,” said Alixandra Holden, director of the Missionary Childhood Association (MCA), one of four Pontifical Mission Societies in the U.S., at a Dec. 5 awards ceremony.

MCA’s mission is “to help children grow in faith by teaching them to pray and sacrifice for other children around the world.” Since 1933, the organization has encouraged children to evangelize by depicting the Nativity of Jesus.

Archbishop Bernard Bober of Košice, president of the Slovak Bishops’ Conference, blesses the new mosaic of Our Lady of Sorrows in the Vatican Gardens at a ceremony attended by Slovak President Peter Pellegrini and Vatican officials on Dec. 5, 2025 | Credit: Bohumil Petrík

Just before the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a mosaic of Our Lady of Sorrows, Protectress of Slovakia, was inaugurated in the Vatican Gardens. Archbishop Bernard Bober of Košice, president of the Slovak Bishops' Conference, blessed the artwork during a ceremony attended by Slovak President Peter Pellegrini, whom Pope Leo XIV received in audience the day before.

Among other bishops and diplomats, two cardinals took part: the dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Giovanni Re, and Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, prefect of the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches.

The Slovak president said he was happy to see the Slovak Virgin Mary image inside the Vatican as she "is a source of hope, faith and unity." Peter Pellegrini stressed that his Central European country and the Holy See "share common values, such as the dignity of human person, true liberty and open dialog."

Ok so sorry about not posting an update yesterday we didn't get home until late and I was busy.

So the nucala worked pretty much from the moment my pulmonologist gave the injection. My pulmonoligst said this was impossible so I asked both google ai and chatgpt what could have gone on and they both said that nucala starts working by blocking il5 receptors immediately and can start opening airways from immediately after the injection is given and many people report starting to feeling relief right after the injection which is what happened to me.

Today I'm feeling and breathing MUCH better as was I yesterday so thank you for your prayers they worked. However my nighttime gasping still hasn't improved in fact, last night it got significantly worse. I'm going to have my wife check in with a pharmacist before we leave for Ohio tomorrow and see what they say. Maybe it will improve over time? But I'm REALLY glad my insurance doesn't have to pay for another biologic. Nucala was plenty expensive enough on its own.

Little children are trusting of their caregivers as we should be trusting of ours... God. Should little children become Christians? Yes, if that means followers of Jesus and the will of the Father, for they are for the most part already there, or at least willing to learn how to love others as self. No, if it means institutionalized Christianity, which like the rest of the world, draws them away from the Father and back into the wisdom of the world of man and man's will. Why exacerbate the process already being started by adults in a child's life?

American actor Chris Pratt, best known for his roles in “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Jurassic World,” is currently filming a documentary on the Vatican Necropolis, which lies underneath Vatican City containing tombs dating from the first to fourth century A.D., at depths varying between 16 and 39 feet below St. Peter’s Basilica.

The film, which is being produced by Vatican Media, the Fabric of St. Peter, and AF Films, will be released in 2026 for the 400th anniversary of the inauguration and dedication of the basilica.

Pratt will guide viewers on a journey to discover the tomb of St. Peter through stories of faith, history, and archaeology.

“It is an extraordinary honor to partner with Pope Leo and the Vatican on this project. St. Peter’s story is foundational to the Christian faith, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust and access granted to help bring his legacy to the screen,” Pratt told Vatican News in an interview.

While Pratt is not Catholic, he and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, a practicing Catholic, attend Mass regularly and are raising their children Catholic.
