LOL!Of course you have my prayers. This getting old thing sure isn't what it looked like in the brochures ;o)
So they are illogical and wrong.yeah, but so what?
It makes me wonder what happens to all of these churches when their pastors are so wrong? Do they fold? Do the pastors say they made a mistake and change the date, leading congregants to stay and prepare for the new date or what happens?Ugh. False teaching. Read what Jesus said about all this date setting.Prayers for those deceived and those suffering the fall out.

Then none of us is guilty of anything.There is no such thing as free will,
And neither decision can be said to have been made "of your own free will". ISo you either accept what Christ has said or you deny it and believe your teacher instead.
Then we all do what we were designed/destined to do. Cool!So it's all about Gods sovereignty, and nothing to do with your non existent "free will". tined to do
Which happens whenever God's will dictatesSin does not exist, until you bring it into existence.
Kinda like saying that a software developer doesn't tolerate wehen his software does something he didn't tell it to do. But then his code can't do anything he doesn't tell it to do.God does not tolerate, not having His will be done.
Cool, then we needn't worry about anything. Pure determinism, and nothing at all for which we can be either praised or blamed.So His will always has been done and always will be done. Nothing can happen, apart from His will. He is sovereign over ever single thing in the whole universe, everything is subject to His Ruling Authority. Your free will does not exist.
What percentage of your income are you willing to give for life, so the nation can have ‘free’ healthcare?
ICE, racing to fulfill President Donald Trump’s goal to increase deportations, has increasingly targeted work sites for immigration sweeps in recent weeks. The escalation is creating a chilling effect on the businesses that rely on immigrant labor and the workers themselves, with some staying home out of fear. America’s agriculture, construction, health care and hospitality industries are powered by immigrant workers, both legal and undocumented.No, but the difference is that Conservatives want illegal cheap labor. Illegals can be paid substandard wages and denied the protection of US labor law. If they're here on a work visa they have to be treated fairly. That's one of the issues the Left has with ICE. Except for a few staged raids they have left large corporate employers of illegal labor alone. Showily rounding up a few day laborers from Lowe's parking lot doesn't cut it.
Where is Timothy now? If he did actually become immortal then, why did he remain on earth as Pauls helper?1 Timothy 6:12 - take hold of the eternal life which you received .......
May you be blessed with this initiative ... it's a challenging demographics !We have been bringing bibles and handouts with the gospel readings for each upcoming Sunday and having all manner of discussions from those readings alone.
All are invited.
Anyone else try this or want to try it?
You have neglected to give any reason to think that that the commands of Christ are not in complete accordance with the Law of Moses, especially considering that he said that man shall live by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Christ set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Law of Moses, so do you think that he gave commands that were not in accordance with what he practiced and that he hypocritically took the position that we should only do as he said but not as he did?
The way to love the Father is by being a doer of His character traits in obedience to the Law of Moses, which is exactly the same as the way to love the Son, who is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact likeness of His character (Hebrews 1:3).
So, if you aren't using "alive" figuratively, then what exactly does it mean? I'm taking it to mean he was spiritually alive. It looks like you are saying it means psychologically "alive", that it's a point of view, that since he is ignorant of guilt, he doesn't feel condemned. Is this your meaning? If so, then you are certainly interpreting it figuratively. In my mind, "alive" is a literal term, meaning spiritually alive, since he is speaking of the spiritual condition in this passage. If you mean that when the law came to him "I died" means he came to the realization that he is guilty, then you are certainly using it figuratively.Ro 7:9 is absolutely not figurative, nor did I say it was.
Paul is speaking there of his own experience from the vantage point of his present understanding.
Before he realized that the law condemned him to death, he was alive.
"When the commandment came;" i.e., when Paul came to the realization that he stood guilty before the law and was condemned to death.
What do you mean "mere premise"? Who said the verse was a "mere premise"? You misunderstood what I wrote, and it appears to me you are confusing the text with your interpretation of it. This is the basis of the argument. It does NOT say the sin of Adam is imputed. That's your interpretation. Can you see a difference? You approach the text with the preconceived idea that it means Adam's sin is imputed. But the text doesn't say that. So how you are reading the text is faulty.
When applied to infants, what you quote here could easily mean they are spiritually alive and innocent.
This is your interpretation, which I differ with. In the first place, you are interpreting Paul's statement as "there was no law between Adam and Moses, therefore no transgression." But Paul has to mean something different than that, because there was certainly law, albeit not the law of Moses. Examples: Cain most certainly knew he had violated an unwritten (or unspoken) law "you shall not commit murder." If he thought he was innocent, he would not have lied to God saying he didn't know where Abel was. But he did lie, because he wanted to escape the impending judgment in violation of that moral principle. This is how we know there was law prior to Moses. Another example is when God said to Noah if a man sheds another man's blood (murder), his blood shall be shed (capital punishment). This is most certainly law before Moses. A 3rd example is God rained fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah because their sins stunk to high heaven. In this we can see there was most certainly law and transgression prior to Moses. Therefore Paul had to mean something different than what you claim.There was no law between Adam and Moses and, therefore, no transgression/sin to cause their deaths.
Then what caused the deaths of those between Adam and Moses when they did not sin against the law?
Their deaths were caused by the imputed sin of Adam (Ro 5:17, 18-19) to all mankind when there was no law to transgress and cause death.
I disagree with you, you only see a problem because I am disagreeing. No, your understanding is figurative, mine is literal. But you can't see that, can you? In that whole passage Paul is talking about spiritual death, not physical. Therefore, my interpretation is literal, in line with Paul's conversation.Physical death wasn't "natural" until Adam sinned. . .physical death is the consequence of Adam's sin.
Now I see where your problem is.
Mine is not a figurative but a literal understansing of Ro 5:12-19 (post #7), where in Ro 5:17, 18-19 Adam's sin is imputed to all those of Adam, and which imputation is the pattern (Ro 5:14) for Christ's righteousness being imputed to all those of Christ (Ro 5:18-19).
I see some insinuations but no specifics.I don't deny the applicability of every word of God to everyone, per God:
Matt. 4:4, Luke 4:4, Deut. 8:3
As to your position analysis it consistently fails to bring the perps into the sights and only lays the blame on people, completely ignoring the plight of blinded slaveship imposed on them by that enemy
We should know as believers we ALL have a mutual unseen adversary. Therefore any position failing to account for this is technically, void and without merit[/COLOR]
I saw him described as a low-level officer who was assigned to insignificant posts who now cosplays as a specops wannabe. It struck me as fitting.I've been wondering for days why Pete Hegseth's 'speech' sounded like a high school gym teacher 'dumbing it down' for junior high students? I think I've found it.
As a former soldier I only had 4 years in the Australian Army Survey Corp making maps, and was never posted overseas in active engagement with the enemy! (Yes - and then I went on to study welfare and ended up in Child Protection - just in case anyone wanted to challenge my having a military background as well. I'm a 'career-carnie' and have moved sideways, across the lower rungs of many ladders, instead of up one ladder.)
However, Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges provided feedback helped clarify it for me. And it's fairly basic:-
CIVILIZED OR NOT?
America needs to have allies and friends confident that they are one of us, one of those freedom loving nations that follow international law in the conventions of warfare. It's not "politically correct" or "woke" to follow the Geneva Convention! It's not some grand leftist conspiracy to make the American military less effective to try and limit the horror of war - especially as modern arms have become more precise and discriminating in targeting enemy combatants rather than just carpet bombing an enemy city - military and civilians alike. It's what separates us from the way the Russians are indiscriminately attacking civilian apartments and infrastructure in Ukraine.
MAXIMUM LETHALITY OR MAXIMUM MISSION BRIEF?
'Maximum lethality' only works in certain very specific missions.
Some combat situations DO require 'maximum lethality' - and the Obama administration used that when necessary! EG: Taking out Bin Laden. So what's this "woke" nonsense?
PEACE-KEEPING
But in a post-war peace-keeping capacity, in "Jus Post Bellum" AFTER the combat - you do NOT want trigger happy soldiers to randomly mow down any crowd of upset civilians! Because in the chaos of a post-war situation, there just is going to to be many instances where unhappy crowds are shouting and jostling around supply trucks, or protesting the many issues that arise when rebuilding both the infrastructure of buildings and government processes from scratch.
PROPAGANDA - AND THAT AWKWARD MIKE-DROP MOMENT
It's the same old MAGA playbook. Manufacture a perceived crisis - and then come in - flapping gums blazing - acting like the White Hat Sheriff promising to save the day. It's a showdown at High Noon with "woke leftists". Except - Hegseth's gym class is aimed at the world's most elite generals and admirals. His last line was delivered like a "mike drop" moment - yet was met with stony silence at the end.
Is ANYONE in this administration REMOTELY qualified to do their job!?

It's a ruse to do what then can to make it harder for people to vote.You're saying we should prevent things we can't prove it happens.
Yea, that’s about right. Gop and MAGA wants to stop which doesn’t exist!
Well now, that's a loaded question...Could CBS be heading toward covering the News without a strong Left leaning bias?
How will I know if they will arrest people for exercising their Free Speech rights if I don't exercise my Free Speech rights?I think it's amazing that you guys aren't fleeing the USA.
