Well obviously this pastor was wrong in predicting the rapture! He should have known better.

Prior to the return is an event called the sixth seal.“If there’s something terrible that happens on Earth, either made by humans or natural, we want to have, like, life insurance for life as a whole,” Musk said in 2020. He wants to turn the planet into a self-sustaining colony, and he reportedly told SpaceX staffers last year he envisions one million people living on Mars by the 2040s.

Elon Musk Says He Wants To Send Humans To Mars As Soon As 2029
Musk—who has a history of setting unrealized goals for his companies—says he wants to send humans to Mars by 2029, though he says 2031 may be more likely.www.forbes.com
The bible tells us Jesus is returning to earth to rule. There is no escape. Wasting trillions trying to avoid the fate of man on earth is in my opinion a waste and not of God at all.
Thoughts?
Their "morals" were tying themselves in knots. The decision wasn't hard.Yes so therefore the charge is they breached State or federal laws. As far as I understand the Catholic hospital had a policy of not doing abortions. So in this case there was a ethical dilemma created as to whether this was an abortion or not.
I think you have this mostly right, but it was a 17-week pregnancy that failed. There was no possibility of life.It tuns out it was an health emergency rather than an abortion so the hospital should have provided help as this is law. As far as I can see this was not a straight out case and there was a conflict of belief. Something that has now caused the hospital to have to rethink their policy in this specific situation so as to abide by the legal requirements.
As I've said before, they should feel free to do that on their own time. Instead they have opened their business to the general public (non-Catholics). As you said above, the need to abide by legal requirements for hospitals.But the general idea that religious facilities have the right to say (not do abortions in the first place) or not adopt to say SSM couples if they run an adoption agency, or pray outside abortion clinics or pray and support those within the LGBTIQ+ community ect. These should be rights under the freedom of religion and following ones conscience. Which are human rights.
I see. I thought at first it was about policy proposals, then it seemed to be about how liberals would persecute christians. Very confusing.Liberals bad
You don’t come when He calls or draws, or answer the door when He knocks even though though no one has excuse (Rom 1:20). You prefer yourself and the world and the flesh to God, as Adam did, You remain in your pride and in your sins instead of in Him after entering and lingering for a time. You believe but the cares of the world as per Matt 13:22 or the fear of man as per John 12:42 end up superceding and choking out or thwarting that gift of faith. Or you may you say you're saved but fail to love and to forgive others, or to produce good fruit. You don't peservere. EtcHow do you refuse to be saved?
He who smelt it, dealt it.The Lachman fire was reported about 12:17 a.m. on New Year’s Day in the hillside above Pacific Palisades by a resident whose home is about two blocks from the popular Skull Rock trail.
That pesky context if it only went away……You merely use context in order to eliminate God's Words from applying to YOU
Then how did the lunar reflectors that are there now get there? Remember the lunar reflectors are in use now so the evidence for their existence and presence there is factual and absolute.For one, nobody has walked on the moon & two, if nobody has walked on the moon how the heck have left all this so called paraphernalia on it.
First it was sandwiches, now it's donuts. Where will it end?!?NG deployments have been due to Antifa and rioters endangering public savants.
Your defending the indefensible isn't working.

It was last March that he voted for the same bipartisan cr he voted against
from your post that the KJV is different from the Greek and Hebrew, i'm aware that there are differnces , for one the English language is more complex and for most english speaking folks they are limited to only reading English, as far as i'm concerned the Kjv is the best we have and all other translations are somewhat watered downSorry, I don't read Hebrew or Greek. Where did you get that idea? I mainly use the NKJV.
While I hesitate to go to the other side so to speak (aka the Calvinists) I do think they have an important understanding of this sort of thing. It is called the difference between Spirit Upon and Spirit Within. The best summary of it is in a book called Receiving the Power by Presbyterian pastors Z. Brad Long and Doug McMurry.That's what I am driving at, I suppose. It IS possible for a person, even a prophet or apostle, to exercise the gifts of the spirit but with little fruit. There is a danger imo, (while others clearly seem to disagree) in labelling the whole ministry as satanic because it's basically carnality at work.
I know this from 30 years in co-leadership. A leader incredibly thin-skinned, had to be in charge, verbally controlling. Quite immature emotionally. His son called his Christianity his "hobby". BUT, the church benefitted from his years of preaching and faithfulness.
The moral priorities of societies are often encoded in their laws. The variance that has been discussed here represent these.The point is that all things at certain times and places deemed legal are not thereby moral.
LOL.Morality does not change.
So you’re saying if the ICE facility was not there that there would be less violence?The area around the ICE facility is not.
As far as I understand we can only think one thought at a time, however with time the filter can be worn.Was listening to a program talking about mental health. (My mental health issues Part #1)
Unlike other people with their mental disorders or disabilities, I can describe exactly what's going on with me, and it's not at all a mystery to me. When I'm around a bunch of different sources of noise, or people talking (including other people's televisions, and media and whatnot sometimes) (or when I'm around a combination of both actually) I am constantly picking up on everything and immediately applying it to something about me, or having to do with me, and applying it it all kinds of different ways all of the time and always, some of which are sometimes very disturbing, although not always disturbing always, but either way, me or mind makes it about me or something having to do with me, or something that I was just experiencing/doing, and it is something that I am not at all doing willingly. And with a lot of different noise/sources/voices around, it is constantly shifting, and changing, constantly and very, very, very quickly. I can shut a single source down almost immediately, but with a lot of different sources/voices, it is happening too fast for me to be able to keep up most usually, or shut them all down immediately or completely, cause the second I pick up on on one voice/source, and shut it down almost immediately, it changes to another one after that almost immediately, and it's too much for me to be able to keep most of the time, and almost always. And it's not ego either, or me willingly desiring to make everything about me, but this all happening/being done to me 100% completely involuntarily, as I've all but completely killed my own ego by now, almost 100% completely. If it's supposed to be some form of communication, then I don't think it is at all meant for us human beings. And even if it was some form of communication, or I could make some sort of sense of it (which I can't, but if I could) then how could I ever be sure of the source really? Like I said, I don't think it's meant for us human beings. But this is why I wear headphones and listen to something else when I'm out in public, and am out among a bunch of these different sources that very much act like a lot of very, very different, always constantly changing and shifting voices to me actually. It's schizophrenic in a nutshell basically, and that is what it feels like when I'm out in public actually. So it's a very great limitation/mental disorder/disability, and there seems to be no way of eliminating it or completely getting rid of the problem right now 100% completely, because it's not me doing it to myself willingly. And even though I say all of this, there are still some of you who are going to think that I am somehow making this up, or am being dishonest, or am lying, or that it's not as bad as I'm making it out to be maybe, but I 100% guarantee you that you can't make something like this up, and unless you personally have or experience these problems yourself always, then you just don't know how debilitating/disabling they can be actually.
God Bless.
Another thing that I probably also need to mention about this, which has been/still is a side effect from some of the times that this has been disturbing, is also having/developing PTSD from it now actually, which also makes me sometimes anticipate any and all, especially unanticipated/unexpected noises, as sometimes potentially disturbing or triggering, so headphones is definitely the way to go for someone like me, as they are like a lifeline for me. I apologize to all of you that I can't seem to deal with it or handle it any better or differently.
God Bless.

I'm saving this and these for the next time I see my therapist here in a few weeks.
For example, when I was talking with you last time and you mention dogs sometimes, I sometimes identify with them sometimes in my mind mentally, and when you mentioned your church choir leader last time, I identified with that or him for a minute last time temporarily, as if I was him, or was like him somehow, or in some kind of way actually, or that someone or something was trying to tell me that I was in some kind of way actually, but I was able to shut them, or those thoughts, or those voices, down, almost immediately, and so, it wasn't a big deal really, and none of you even knew that that was going on with me and in my mind at the time mentally. But, when I'm around a lot, or a lot of different sources/ones going on/off all of the time around me, my mind is doing this with all of them all of the time and constantly, and very, very fast with everything, and it's always changing or shifting voices/sources very, very, very quickly, and it's hard to shut them all down immediately all of the time usually. And sometimes, something happens with what's happening on the outside of me that let's me know that something, or someone, knew, or always knows, just exactly what was going on with me, or was happening right then to me at the time mentally, or with what I was just identifying with and how I was identifying with it, actually. Which can feel like a very great violation sometimes of my privacy, which can sometimes be very, very intimidating, or scary, and can sometimes trigger me all of the time and constantly, so that I'm always triggered, or am always on edge all of the time mentally, until I am out of that situation again actually. It can't all be true, but when I'm around a bunch of different sources constantly, I don't have the time to try to discern truth from fiction, which is why I just try to shut them all down immediately. Discerning the truth from fiction can take a lot of time actually, so unless I actually have the time to get a break, and sit around and think about it, and can remember a lot of what was just happening, I can't most of the time actually. Over the course of my total amount of time living with this mental disorder, or disability, I've identified as almost everyone and everything over my total course of time having this, and so I don't think there is any kind of way that all of it can be true ever, etc. And if it ever was or is, then I don't have any kind of idea as to what to say to that or about that ever exactly, etc. It took me quite a while to even be able to know that this is what was going on, or happening with me, and those times we're very, very bad, because they were also very, very confusing, so at least I know now what's happening, and can now write about it now, or tell it to the rest of you now, at least somewhat clearly.
God Bless.
When you, or me, or anyone identifies with something, you first have to ask yourself if you are in any way like that person, place, or thing, or animal, or not, in this specific situation or circumstance, or this specific context or not, exactly? And then also how, or in what kind of way (or ways) (multiple or plural) exactly? If there is even any kind of truth in it at all exactly? Which takes at least some time at least to be able to discern that, or figure that all out exactly? But that you also don't have the time for at the time when there is a lot of it happening or going on very, very quickly like it always happens or does to or for someone like me when there is a lot of different sources to potentially pick up on all of the time exactly. So, there is really no mystery anymore as to just exactly what is happening or going on anymore exactly, but it's more just exactly which way should you apply it, or just exactly what you're supposed to do with all of it all of the time exactly? Like I said earlier, I don't think it's possible for all of it to be true, and so that means that at least some of it has to be false, but with the way it happens to someone like me with a lot of different sources to potentially pick up on sometimes, there is not enough time to be able to figure that all out ever, or ever dwell too long on any one thing, or one or more of those things as quickly as they are/it is changing/happening, until you can get back out of that situation once again temporarily.
God Bless.
I don't know why you spend so much time gathering up passages of Scripture just to condemn Israel? What Israel experienced was an example for the world. If Israel backslid, and she did, then Christian nations have done the same.Randy says that there is goodness in all, in a delayed or unrecognised manner. That would be fine, but once the testimony of Christ was told to the world, the commandment to repent was given to all men, so the sin that became death was unbelief.
