Agreed.Correct as far as treatment.
And I suspect that there were many decent slave owners in American history.

Thank you! I appreciate itHey there. I hope your birthday went great and you're having a nice weekend.![]()
I agree. It is a similar mentality that possessed the Japanese Empire during the 1930s and 1940s as it engaged in its mad attempt to conquer not only China and other Far Eastern countries, but even the United States of America. The divine Emperor was the very son of God who was believed to be utterly invincible. Likewise, Islamic rhetoric has always insisted on Islamic worldwide hegemony and, specifically, the extermination of the Jews along with other infidels. This cease fire is merely a long-needed time out in the battle for Hamas to regroup and reorganize.I have been asked why I said that Hamas was forced to ceasefire by their Islamic neighbors. It was Egypt and Qatar mainly; who brokered the agreement.
But Hamas lives and dies by the Islamic code of Victory or Death. They cannot concede defeat to the Infidel USA or Israel. So this ceasefire is just another temporary halt to their aim of taking over the entire land of Israel.
They simply make this latest deal to be a victory and the returning Palestinians wave the V sign, as they travel back to Gaza City.
It's very noticeable to me that many Christians today do not know 'who' they are in Christ.Books by Watchman Nee and Lester Sumrall on the differences of the body, soul, and spirit are not even looked at today by most, and it's noticeable.
I am not talking about the Scribes or Pharisees. I am talking about the world. He said, "The world .... hates me because I testify that its works are evil." John 7:7. So, if someone reacts badly because you are pointing out their sin, then remember that Jesus did the same, and the world hated Him too.To refer to peoples reactions to Jesus (remember it was the Scribes and Pharisees who approached Christ to try and test him) is a rationalisation here.
Jesus said, 'Go and preach the Gospel to all creation". He did not say, "Go and make a connection and then preach the Gospel to all creation."Sorry you need to build a connection with people, not ambush them. Leave it to other christian students on the campus to witness in word and deed and pray for them.
Yes. Those of us who are filled with the Holy Spirit already have the green light to preach the Gospel to as many people as possible (Mark 16:15). The Holy Spirit was given not so that we would be quiet, but so that we would speak (Acts 1:8). Many times, in the bible we see time and time again, those who are filled with the Spirit spoke and they did not hold back.You have to have the green light from the Holy Ghost to approach people.
Universalism can only be discussed in the Controversial Christian Theology forum.“We can only say that the grace of God is so clear and decisive in Jesus Christ that it is not our task to set limits to it.”

Where in scripture does it state that God's desire is thwarted by mankind?
When they are just doing their job?
Well it seems I come across examples of this everyday...just crossed another one.

If there are people having trouble understanding why people dislike how iCE is doing their work, I'm hoping folks will be willing to share some examples. I'll do my bit when I can.
There is no firmament. The correct translation is expanse. There are billions if not trillions of stars in the universe so your idea of the size of your made up firmament would be hard pressed to hold them all. Of course you could say that the whole of the universe is the firmament but then you would have to agree that rockets can go to space and the moon.The firmament is massive, much larger than you could imagine, the image does not do it justice.
Self-evident claims also don't have large groups of people rejecting them.Self-evident claims do not require proof.
No one is arguing "because scientism (sic)". This is about the nature of morality.All truths are beyond the thinking mind, as is the reality of all things. Those who believe in scientism, the dogmatic beleif that science is the only source of knowledge, are handicapped in the search for truth. They admit that any pretension on their part in grasping truth is impossible for them as all of their claims are merely provisional.
The problem from my entry to this thread onward is and has been that I see no reason to trust any of the claimants to possessing absolute morality.However, "morality" is an idea, an object of thought, and not in the realm of phenomena perceived by the fallible senses. Debating objective ideas with those who are incurably addicted to the subjective sense of "ideas" cannot be profitable (as this thread demonstrates).
Ideas—the objects of thought—that we reflect upon when we start to philosophize, lie beyond the reach of sense perception. In debating morality we examine the grounds upon which moral claims may be judged either true or false. An appeal to a transcendent source for objective truth will always be beyond the handicapped mind of the materialist.
Justice Jackson appealed to the "transcendent" idea of justice at Nuremberg. Even though the Nazis had operated within their own (subjective) laws, their actions were still criminal because they violated fundamental (objective) principles of morality and justice that bind all people. Christians, like Jackson, make the same appeal to the Transcendent One.
Sure you do. A YouGov poll showed that 24% of the left would celebrate the death of a political opponent.I don't know what you are talking about. I
Read Isa 53:5 or the whole chapter. Ist Peter 2:24 by His strips we were healed. Christ said lay hands on the sick they shall be healed. That means healed right then right now and it also can mean over time but will be totally healed. Peter and John at the gate after the man was healed the people were looking at them they said "why do you look at us as if we did this by our own power? That name faith in that name healed this man"My boyfriend’s knee was really really badly injured a while back, he can walk again, but he’d like to be able to play sport again, please pray that God heals him completely and that he recovers completely and returns fully to how he was before the knee injury and can do everything and play sports again, agreeing in Jesus Christ’s name, Amen. Thank you.
Are you an emergency room physician? If not then I don't think you are qualified to prescribe what is the proper care for pregnant women in need of emergency care.I suspect it will take dozens of dead moms before the state requires catholic hospitals to manage care properly.
Wheat prices per bushel when adjusted for inflation are the lowest ever.
Thanks, I did not see that previously. Very interesting.
Presidents aren't supposed to be above the law in America either but that's just another way this supreme court has ruined the American experiment.State officials aren't above the law. If they were, then what should we expect of local officials?
Perfect. You’ve finally linked to Title 10. Now maybe a productive, engaging, intellectual dialogue and exchange of ideas can transpire regarding Admin cloaks and Title 10.I'm don't know why I wrote that. I may have intended it for different post.
Here, I got this from the OP: Title 10 of US Code.
Trump, Noem, Homan and Miller etc seem to see it differently. And it's their call, not mine.
You know a lot about the cdc, do ya?Those who know it's the usual cut in democrat funded waste, bloat, misappropriation, corruption etc, are okay with it.
Hi ronlion, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, lots of thing are generally known that turn out not to be true. Presumably, if the widespread belief is correct, it should be based on some available evidence.Hi Sfs, pardon my delay. It is generally known that Maxwell did not believe in Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.
I can't find anything in Ian Hutchinson's piece that supports the idea that Maxwell rejected Darwin. Can you point to anything? The only mention of evolution I see would tend to point in the opposite direction.I read it in a letter of James Maxwell that I cannot find right now(but I give a MIT link where you will find the primary sources.)
Since he's famous, there is a very real possibility that it's completely made up.
Pretty early in the thread to make making up stuff.Since the left-wing supports Hamas that shouldn't be a complaint from them.
