I've seen some offer VIP access to full teachings etc for x amount or others give free samples of teachings then put a heavy sum on a year program.
Anything the Lord has given should never be behind a paywall or have a price tag
He gives to us each freely for the edification of the body and it has caused me to stumble many times when I a man of little means sees all these programs where people are 'growing' and I sit here struggling to even hear the Lord.
It frustrates me

I think we should have immigration laws and we should expect people to abide by them.

We are as individuals. Scripture is written to us as individuals and not to tell the secular state how they should run their country. Unless you are wanting the state to outlaw all sexual sin, gossip, lying and such. Or do you just think we should only push for part of scriptural morality and not all of it?

Sure and rhey should go through the process. You ate ignoring the fact that the vast majority don't meet the criteria.

I agree.

Those who respect reality LET their minds be changed by data!

Click to expand...

You should know that data can be manipulated. And how data is collected is also important. And data changes. I prefer to look at all rhe things. A prime example is the data that often surrounded transgenderism.

Dont take data at face value. Do more research to see if thwre are problems with it and determine if its really reliable or not. I have done that and don't believe its reliable. So, I'm not going to be convinced and neither are you on that subject so let's just agree to disagree.

Fake police calls are a big deal. Fake police calls from another law enforcement agency to throw off the local police from their most likely illegal operations is deeply troubling.

It’s no wonder the CPD doesn’t want to have anything to do with these invading thugs.

That means Trump will have to start a REAL war to distract from the Epstein files!

I mean - when his NPD reacts to this news it isn't going to be pretty!

Thanks for trying to respond to my question. Though I am genuinely curious to hear just one of the teachings of Jesus that Charlie Kirk also preached. So far, I haven't found any.

Click to expand...

There are already too many videos where he encourages people to be sexually moral, to go to church, to seek the Lord. I think you’d have to not be looking to not be able to find them. if you’re specifically looking for something that you can disagree on, I guess you can find it. But suggest that he wasn’t promoting Christian teachings is completely untrue.

Here's a lil quiz question for you Bradskii:

Based on the definition you have accepted, is someone who thinks rape is always intrinsically wrong a moral absolutist? Yes or no?

Click to expand...

I don't think you are grasping the argument. You are asking if something which by definition is wrong...is wrong. It's a tautology. The term you are using is already defined by the context. I'll expand it to illustrate it for you. Hopefully you'll understand:

Is having sex with someone without their consent wrong?

You'll note the context in italics. The act is wrong determined by that context. It is wrong relative to the conditions. We can't say it's rape until those conditions are met.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by your first sentence. . I have talked to many Preterists over the years and to me their doctrine of all things fulfilled after 70 AD makes everything a little confusing. I just asked grok a couple questions about it.

Is there a somewhat of an "orthodox" full preterist set of beliefs

Click to expand...

Orthodox Press arn't Full Prets. The OP position is simple, it it happened, it happened. No " didn't really happen", or "it didn't count'. Prophecy fulfilled is prophecy fulfilled if it doesn't jibe with your doctrine. Beast makes war agajnst the Church? Happened. Jerusalem surrounded by armies? Happened. The Mark of the Beast Required to Buy or Sell? Happened. Temple desecrated, pagan sacrifice in Holy of Holies? Happened. Temple razed to the ground? Happened. Taat's off the top of my head, there are others.

No, "Those didn't count'! They have to happen again!" Rubbish. If they happened, they happened. If your doctrine doesn't recognize that reality, fix your doctrine.

I thought you said you were having more issues with GPT-5 than with GPT-4o ?

Click to expand...

If anything, it's the opposite. Gpt-4o is too friendly, too agreeable, even creepy (too attached), presents very little challenge in a debate. I prefer gpt-5 over 4o. I like the way gpt-5 tries to get things as grounded and realistic as possible which is actually a good thing to those who are politically correct.

I'm still using the same huge context memory in the same account I have in gpt-4o in gpt-5.

Some AG churches are more conservative than others.

The fine print rules:

Romans 11:5
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

Doesn't preclude or eliminate Paul's quite factual statement that ALL of Israel shall be saved, even enemies of the Gospel, Romans 11:26-32

Again, your theory is busted.

WHY is all of Israel saved? Because they are God's children, blinded for us by God as they may presently be. Deut. 14:1, Psalm 82:6, Matt. 23:9, Romans 11:8, Mark 4:15

Click to expand...

paul also says there is no jew nor greek, male or female.

he also believed the return would be in his lifetime, so the partial hardening he thought would not lead to death.. but 2000 years later in order for "all israel" to be saved, you have to believe in continuous re-incarnation until they all come to salvation.

this is something... many jews believe to this day, and was common in the days of Jesus.

Portland is 145 square miles, yet one city block is damaged in protests months or even years ago draw disproportionate attention.

Portland didn't vote for Trump.
That has offended his NPD.
Period.
