Have you heard of the concept that "just because it's legal, doesn't mean it's ethical"?I am abiding by reality.

There is no conditional used.Read the whole thing again:
(b) In response to the congressional redistricting in Texas in 2025, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution or existing law, the single-member districts for Congress reflected in Assembly Bill 604 of the 2025–26 Regular Session pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 21400) of Division 21 of the Elections Code shall temporarily be used for every congressional election for a term of office commencing on or after the date this subdivision becomes operative and before the certification of new congressional boundary lines drawn by the Citizens Redistricting Commission pursuant to subdivision (d).Again, the text of this bill makes clear that these maps "shall ... be" used with a very specific condition; "in response to the congressional redistricting in Texas in 2025".
So are we just allowed to make little adjustments and that’s allowed?
Well, that clears it up completely...
It doesn't say anything about drawing at all. The submitted maps "shall be" used.
May the Lord be your strength and support in your time in need, and in his holy name, I pray! Amen!Friends and relatives pass away; old age is for the birds!

Ok I can agree with that.Condemn and convict are two different topics. We are not speaking of conviction in Romans 8 but condemnation. It says, there is now therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Death being the condemnation. Because if we mortify the deeds of the body through the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus, we shall live says Romans 8. For the Spirit of the Life Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and the wages of it, death that the righteousness of the Law of God that Paul delights in be fulfilled.
But since the law has been fulfilled (completed righteously) then so has its imparting the knowledge of sin externally. The law in essence declares that there is a difference between right and wrong. The law defines the nature of “out-law” conduct (1 John 3:4). The law points to a need for some method of justification since no one can keep the law perfectly (Galatians 3:10), and the law itself provides no ultimate remedy for violations or a way to repentance. Even in a perfect legal system, a broken law cannot be un-broken.By the Law is the knowledge of sin Romans 3. But the Spirit working on the heart convicts, Because the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance as Romans 2 states.
My culture is not making sad people. If Americans are sad, then I suggest that they turn to my Lord and Savior. Only the Lord Jesus Christ is the One who can give everlasting joy and happiness and peace.It's not "happy you are in the US" it's "Are you happy?"
Youre culture is making SAD people. IT has nothing to do with appreciating where you live. IT has to do with your ecosystem your "fish tank".
The system did an autocorrect. *shrugs*Well, that clears it up completely...
That foundation was disbanded. If Trump himself was guilty of wrong doings, then why wasn't he prosecuted for what that foundation did?
I am abiding by reality.It's not fair to try to have a discussion with other people if you refuse to abide by reality.
I expect that will be one of the things the CA GOP argues in court.IANAL but if you read the text of prop 50, it goes to excruciating length to make clear that these temporary, gerrymandered maps in favor of Democrats are only necessary "in response to" what Texas is doing. Therefore, one could argue that if Texas can't gerrymander their maps, the text of the proposition leaves open the possibility of NOT using temporary, gerrymandered maps.
They have already been redrawn and the new ones adopted as a result of the vote.Therefore, it seems pretty clear that there's a strong case to be made that if there is nothing to "respond" to, then there is no reason to redraw the maps in California,
It doesn't say anything about drawing at all. The submitted maps "shall be" used.The language of the proposition did not state that new maps MUST be drawn without exception
When I did street preaching, I knew how Paul says the preaching of the cross is the power of God to us who are saved.Instead it should be a simple message that Christ came to save us and anyone who believes in Him will be saved. Full stop.
Nonsense! That contradicts the entire New Testament. After Christ died and the veil of the temple was torn in two, the old covenant law of Moses became obsolete! Read Hebrews 8-10. No one was obligated to be under the law after that.Paul said the Body of Christ is dead to circumcision.
But James reminded us readers in Acts 21:18-25 that the Israel of God is still to undergo circumcision and obey the Law of Moses zealously.
Your conclusion is based on a complete misunderstanding of the entire Bible. You are drawing conclusions from isolated verses that contradict many other verses. You need to ask God for wisdom so that you stop doing that (James 1:5-7).Thus, my simple conclusion was that Galatians 6:16, Paul cannot be calling us the Israel of God.
Yes, I did. Is it too much trouble for you to explain what you mean by referencing that verse? Don't read that verse in isolation from the rest of what James wrote. In the rest of James 2, it's clear that he said we are justified by faith, but what kind of faith someone has is revealed by their works. If your works don't reflect true faith, then your faith is dead. True faith will result in good works that accompany salvation, as Paul wrote about in Ephesians 2:8-10. It's not that anyone has ever had to do works to be justified. The works God has for us to do after we become saved (Ephesians 2:8-10) can be used as evidence to justify that our faith is genuine.Because you never read what James said in James 2:24.
who are these mythical fiscal conservatives?When were fiscal conservatives fiscal conservatives?
You don't have to like it, but we put this to a vote, and the result has been tallied. And now our hands really are tied. The only way to undo it is with another vote (or wait until 2030).
I don't think the Force of air molecules could ever provide enough Power for the Work involved in the movement of larger parts, such as human-sized things like an engine or a generator... If I'm understanding this correctly.
...Not enough oomph.
And how will you explain how anyone can be saved by the NEW COVENANT TODAY ??Many fail to understand that the `New Covenant' includes a better way to implement the same set of laws that were given on Mt. Sinai, the Ten Commandments:
(Jer.31:31-33) (v.31) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
(v.32) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
(v.33) But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Notice that the law was not prophesied to be done away, but rather to be “put into our hearts and minds.”
In, (Is. 42:21) we find another prophecy concerning Christ and the law. It reads, (v.21) The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he (Jesus) will magnify the law, and make it honourable. When you magnify something you enlarge it and bring it out more of its detail and richness. Jesus revealed the fulfillment of this prophecy when he explained, (Mat.5:27-28) (v.27) Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: (v.28) But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart
By magnifying the law and making it honorable, the spiritual intent of the law is now emphasized which goes far beyond the mere the physical intent. God has raised His standards, not lowered them! All God ever wanted was what was best for us! He designed us to be His children. We are happiest when we love and obey Him. He is a God who is totally righteous and holy. God cannot sin. And He wants us to follow in His footsteps. The person that says, (1 John:2:6) “that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”

Rev.2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write;This is all man-made extra-biblical theories. Zero substance. Like Van Imp you do not quote Scripture. You just reference it because the Book forbids your error.
- Where is "the Church age" mentioned in Revelation 2 and 3?
See above, in Rev. 4:1
- Where is your "rapture" in Revelation 4?
Jesus has been to earth 1000's of times, he was with Abraham and Daniel, he REVISTED in John 20 after first telling Mary to TOUCH ME NOT, for I have not yet ascended to the Father [to offer the sacrifice which HER TOUCHING would have defiled[. Then a few verses later he tells Doubting Thomas to touch hi wounds ad brought back a gift for his bride, the Holy Spirit.
- Where is your 3rd coming in Revelation?

Baloney.
