Appeals court upholds $83 million judgment against Trump for defaming E. Jean Carroll
"Trump has failed to identify any grounds that would warrant reconsidering our prior holding on presidential immunity. We also conclude that the district court did not err in any of the challenged rulings and that the jury's damages awards are fair and reasonable," the opinion said.

Then he was wrong and should pay. perhaps he could use some of the funds that major media has had to pay him....

“Free speech” costs $83M if used to defame another person.

Plus the $5M from the first time he did it and got sued successfully. Some people don't learn.

Yes in that context of Rom 11 Mercy is equivalent to salvation, its actually regeneration as in Titus 3:5

5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Thats when an elect person in unbelief will be able to believe through the saving mercy of the Holy Ghost.

Mercy isn't equivalent to salvation. Mercy and grace are the ways God treats us. Mercy just means that God chose not to punish you for your sins when he graciously turned our hearts to Himself and saved you. There are lots of ways mercy is shown to the just and the unjust. For example the way Jesus responded to and treated the woman caught in adultery at the well was merciful, or how the father in the parable of the prodigal son forgave his son was merciful.

I don’t know what to think about this action but there appears to be a wide link to Middle Eastern terrorism and the Venezuelan cartels.

US targets Iran–Hezbollah narco network in Venezuela, officials say

US counter-narcotics operations off Venezuela are part of a broader drive to dismantle an Iran- and Hezbollah-linked drug-finance network, officials told Fox News Digital on Sunday.

Back in the 80s, America traded guns for drugs (thanks, Ollie!) for the Iran-Contra wars. Perhaps America is directly responsible for the creation of the Salvadorian gangs and increased drug use in the US.

Certainly you remember that it's not what goes INTO our body that is a sin but it is what comes OUT.

You could certainly argue they are unhealthy and bad for us....but "evil" ain't it.

Baloney.

So if I put some botulinum toxins in all my friends food, and eat some myself, you think that's not a sin? Yeah..! It is..!

Do they need to? Let's say a boat load of jihadists were coming with a bunch of bombs to blow up Americans and we caught them on the high seas, do you think we have to know their names before blowing them up?

How do we know that that boatload of folk actually are jihadists? How do we know they have a bunch of bombs? How do we know they are heading towards America? It would help to know their names to be sure that they are what you're claiming they are.

Nobody said He meticulously controls every detail. You are free to make lots of decisions for yourself EXCEPT on the matter of salvation. He COULD meticulously control everything but He doesn’t.

So he actively prevents people from coming to Christ, but doesn't prevent atrocities?

Did you ask them HOW Jesus, who submitted to torture and death, and forgave his crucifiers because they know not what they do, can possibly represent a tyrant image of God? Of course, I know God reveals His son, but it could be you or I who plants or waters.

Yeah, pointed all that out to him; his "beef" was that he couldn't get out of his head that Christ did everything he did just so people would praise him. And because of God's "selfish need for praise"; the guy would not heed anything anyone said. And when I told him he was wrong about his assertion of God's motives; he admitted that he "possibly could be misunderstanding this" and then when I told him. "Well, then repent." He accused me of bullying him.

:doh:

Not my circus, not my monkeys, not my problem.
The issue between him and "the Eternal" is above my pay grade.

Why not legalize everything and let Darwin take its course.

Sick..! That's really sick.

Some people die because some idiot mixes fentanyl in a less lethal drug, and they unknowingly ingest it - and your response is without any empathy, and in favor of their death... For such an insensitive response, you should feel ashamed.

And a Constitutional Republic is... Drum roll please... A form of democracy! I can't believe that this exact same thing needs to be told in two different threads.
The fact that apparently so many US conservatives don't understand this does tell a lot.

And I hope I get the implication here correctly, because you certainly seem to imply it, but what is termed a "direct democracy" isn't the only form of democracy. In fact, there isn't a single country in the world that's a full blown direct democracy. They are essentially all forms of representative democracies. Which are still democracies.
It's flabbergasting that you end the whole thing with "the only place where democracy is utilised is in how we elect representatives." That is the very definition of a democracy! You have a vote, used to elect people who govern and through whom you hold power in your government. I'm so disappointed in some people here.

A democracy is majority rule, period. A republic utilizes elected representatives who govern according to an overarching body of laws . Because we are NOT a democracy we have the electoral college. IN a democracy whatever the majority wants, the majority gets. Because we have an overarching body of laws that determines how we are governed, instead of majority rule, we are not a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic that uses the democratic process ONLY to elect our representatives except in the case of the president.

But if that person doesn't even have a medical degree and has a track record of ignoring actual medical advice then they are not a reliable source. Again, rather obviously.

That’s what institutionalized religion said to control the narrative

Many Orthodox Jews love well, but they will be judged not on their love, but on their faith in Jesus Christ.

That statement was already directly addressed, and the answer given should be incontrovertible for a Christian.

Clare73 said:
But after he is gone, and 2,000 years later, his written record is the only authority.

That's pure speculation/guess-work, while the Scripture passage quoted stands as true.

Clare73 said:
We have ample evidence in church history of "oral tradition" contradicting the word of God written.
Which is why there was a Luther.

Nope, Luther threw the baby out with the bathwater when he started messing with doctrine, rather than sticking to the abuse or ignoring of doctrine which certainly prevailed at various times by certain church members and leaders.

Clare73 said:
Backed by the history of Christianity.

Backed by some novel theology maybe, not so far back into history.

Correct interpretation is in agreement with all Scripture.
Such interpretation does not undermine any correct meaning of Scripture.

Of course it is. Baptism, by definition, involves water.

The only time it doesn't it is used analogically, that is why the phrase "baptism with the Holy Spirit" is provocative.
If I say I'm going to take a bath, water is always implied. I would have to specifically provide additional context to show I am speaking of "bath" in some other way.

Baptism is a washing. People wash with water. It requires specific additional context to show baptism being used in some other way, that is why when "baptism with the Holy Spirit" is mentined, it's specifically mentioned. Nobody has to say "water baptism" because that's redundant. When the eunuch saw water he said, "Look, water, what prevents me from being baptized?" He didn't say "what prevents me from being water baptized?" That'd be silly.

Don't force your doctrines onto the text. Approach the text with honesty and objectivity--how would a first century audience hear and read these words?

-CryptoLutheran

And where in. Acts 1:5 is BAPTISZED. // BAPTISMO. WATER // HYDOR , Explain . Matt 3: 11 and is. that word BAPTISM or is it

BAPTISM or is the Greek word BAPTISMA.

In Eph 4:5 it reads ONE BAPTISM but the Greek word is BAPTISMA , what does that mean ??

It is BAPTISMA also in 1 Peter 3:21 and. in all there you can find the WORD , BAPTISMA 22 times

What say you. ?/

Strong in Him said:
Hebrews 6 had not been written when Judas was alive.

Never said that Hebrews 6 had to be in existence in Judas' time in order for us to apply it to him. I'm applying Heb 6 to him right now!

Strong in Him said:
I disagree that he "gave it up".
People choose to end their lives because they are in great despair and a very dark place. Yes I don't think he was expecting the resurrection - but
neither were the others; they were locked away in fear.

You want to apply compassion inappropriately to one who mislabeled Jesus as perhaps a false Messiah. Judas thus attempted to dash the hopes of all who wished to obtain from him both righteousness and resurrection.

Jesus identified Judas as an unrepentant evil man, and yet you would do one better than Jesus? I don't think so. Believe what you will. You either base your beliefs on God's word or you make up your own word.

No, the US is a Constitutional Republic. The founding fathers purposely made sure that we were NOT a democracy because democracies always end in totalitarianism or communism. Mob rule is the norm in a democracy, and we see how that was starting to happen under the left’s push for “democracy” over the Constitutionally guaranteed republic.

The only place “democracy” is utilized in our nation is that is how our representatives are elected. Otherwise we are NOT a democracy.

Yet the Constitution sez the Congress hold the “power of the purse” and authorizes that august body to set tariffs (both of which the House has seemingly ceded to the incumbent President).
If the Constitution is so malleable, why should we continue to follow the rest of it!?
