Why does he still insist in describing it as a charge on the exporter? A tariff on Canadian products is paid by American consumers.
True. I guess I could have waited til at least the second pageFunny how quick the idea of states rights goes out the window for some on the right.
No, it was Tea Party platform, not really a Republican platform per se.Used to be that was a pretty essential plank of the party platform.
I dont believe thats how class action suits are supposed to work.Let me quote it again for you.
Around 70 AD. Some of the people Jesus was talking to had to be still alive:So you think the Kingdom came when?
A careful reading of the Prophesies about the House of Judah, the Jews, shows that they face Judgment and punishment for their continued rejection of Jesus and their reliance on their own strength. It is made clear that only a remnant will survive, to rejoin with their brethren. Jeremiah 50:4-5 They won't say much; Ezekiel 16:63My issue is that I do think there is some kind of significance to the return of the Jewish people to their land and I anticipate a future Messianic kingdom like in Acts 1:6, but I think dispensationalists can go too far with the separation between Israel and the Church. So, I don't want to say that Israel and the Jewish people have no significance at all to God's greater plan, and some verses do seem to teach that the Jewish people will be restored.
I've related this before but when I was still a new Christian and getting to know the pastor, he told me about an episode in his own church. This would be 40 or so years ago now.It obviously depends on the context.
Wrong again. I do NOT believe James is telling people what to do to be saved.-What Type of Salvation Is James Talking About? – Grace Evangelical Society
What is sad is that you believe James is telling people what to do to be saved. If i am telling people how to receive God's free gift of Eternal Life, i would never use James. I would never use James is a discussion about Eternal Life salvation.
So with you bringing James into the discussion to begin with, says a lot about your view on Eternal Life salvation.
That only works in a general sense, but doesn't live up to scrutiny. Perseverance of the saints doesn't hold if you don't know whether you were one of the elect until after all is said and done. So the only way to have assurance is to not question your own election, and by that I don't mean "why me?" But "Am I?" As there is nothing that separates the elect from the non-elect except God's "inscrutable" will there is no way that one can know they truly are part of the elect, or if tomorrow they're going to wake up and find that God was only allowing them to fool themselves.You have surety because God's promises are true.
It's just that. Are God's promises true? Yes...
If a person is drawn and believes then they're also chosen and since the choosing belongs to God you don't have the question why me and not the person to my right or left, you just are grateful you were chosen in unmerited Grace.
It's about having full faith and trust in God and not in yourself.
Capone famously did hang out in St. Paul when things got hot, but I think I should have said it was Karpis and Barker who robbed the Northwestern National Bank. That bank was hit MANY times. It was a way too easy target. The MO was to hit the bank on the east bank of the Mississippi still in Minneapolis and drive east into St. Paul about a mile away through my old neighborhood to St. Paul. St. Paul was a refuge when things got too hot for the gangstas in Chicago, and they didn't allow Minneapolis police in St. Paul.What? I didn’t know that Al Capone was a bank robber!?
God is long suffering he can wait as long as it takes for every human to come into agreement with what Jesus has done, its not our body that is " saved" but us our true self, and that is eternal.Yes all went to Sheol but not all went to Hades. Hades was specifically for the wicked whereas Abraham’s Bosom was specifically for the righteous. And Jesus went and preached to people who had died in and before the flood. It doesn’t say anything about those who died after the flood.
And you still haven’t demonstrated that God’s plan is to save those who refuse to cooperate with Him.
Don't send your kids to public schools !We cannot know all the ways that God creates, but we can have fun learning science in the light of faith.

Suppose you catechize your children properly and teach them all about Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden and original sin. Suppose you sit on the sofa one Sunday evening, read the Bible with them and explain how God created all of the plants and animals.
On Monday morning, they return to their science classes and learn about fossils and dinosaurs, which have sparked an interest and led them to browse the Internet for more information. It’s not like dinosaurs are taboo or anything. Kids love dinosaurs! Eventually, they ask the obvious question.
“So, Mom, I have been wondering: Did the dinosaurs live before or after Adam and Eve?”
You open your mouth to answer and catch yourself mid-breath, as you consider the path of reasoning. Well, that little question is mighty loaded, isn’t it? You tread carefully.
If the answer is that the dinosaurs lived before Adam and Eve, then it follows that all words and sentences in the first three chapters of Genesis are not to be taken literally. Dinosaurs are believed to have dominated the earth for more than 100 million years, first appearing more than 200 million years ago in the Triassic Period and reigning during the Jurassic Period — until about 60-70 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous Period, when they went extinct.
