Texas A&M committee rules professor's firing over gender identity lesson unjustified

The internal committee ruled that the university didn't follow proper procedures and didn't prove there was good cause to fire Melissa McCoul, who was a senior lecturer in the English department with over a decade of teaching experience.

[The professor's lawyer believes it will have go to litigation, as the school may not listen to its own committee.]

What do you think NDEs are about if not the afterlife and the survival of the self? I've studied this subject for the past 20 years. It includes reading more than 5000 accounts from around the world.

What is dead is dead, what is alive is alive,

So how can there be an afterlife, First must one come alive or can a corpse bury a corpse?

Matthew 8:21-22.

Said the Rebbe, "When a cold hard heart becomes excited over a Godly idea, is this not a resurrection"

That's part of the problem that Democrats have, if anyone was "aligned with Trump" at any point, "you're dead to me...forever"

What are you talking about?

For one thing, when have I ever been that sort of purist?

But more to my point, she’s not some generic Trump-aligned Republican. She’s consistently been one of the craziest, most strident people in American politics.

ThatRobGuy said:
But the reality is, she's in a solid red deep South district (where's she's won handily multiple times, by 75/25 margins). The notion that an unknown moderate, who's not explicitly "Trump-endorsed", is going to win that district is a pipe dream.

Her advantage as an incumbent (who already has name recognition as is well-liked in her district) would give her an advantage that a newcomer wouldn't have.

So I'll stand by my original statement... the Democrats would've been better off extending an olive branch (even if she only sides with them 20% of the time moving forward), vs. what they're going to get as her replacement.

You can bank on the fact that Trump will be watching that house election closely, and making sure to meddle in any way he can to make sure it's a loyalist far-right person who takes that seat... I'll send you $20 on venmo if I'm wrong lol

I would take a generic conservative over a loony hatemonger like her any day. The fact that she’s on the right side of the Epstein case doesn’t change that.

12 is the number of lictor states in the original Roman Kingdom. To me this signifies it’s restoration. It doesn’t exclude the multitudes, who take part in the second resurrection, but the first fruits, or the first born, inherit the power structure.

That’s not Eastern Orthodox doctrine.

You are aware the Orthodox Church officially rejected chiliasm at the second ecumenical council in Constantinople in 381 AD?

Technically, the UK doesn't have a state religion, but England does. The Church of England is established in England, but only in England. The Church in Wales, Church of Scotland (presbyterian not Anglican), Scottish Episcopal Church and Church of Ireland are not established churches.

Also this can be the case of something being normal but being done in violation of the law and only now did somebody care enough to sue.

Thanks for the info!

So we can renounce and shun any responsibility for this world?

How can you or I be responsible for a world that we have been called out of ? James 4:4 John 15:19 John 7:7 We had better renounce and shun responsibility for this world as we have been cleansed from being a part of it. Once cleansed don’t go back to wallowing in the mire.

Are you asking but not receiving? On today's Devotional Saturday we'll go over what Jesus says about asking, seeking and knocking and what does it really mean!

For example, a young man just starting college is murdered. He didn't get to live a long life, while someone else becomes a believer in their 40's.

The person in their 40's had more time to accept Jesus, yet the young man didn't. It seems unfair, but what does the Bible say?

Was the young man probably never would have been a believer anyway? Are we sometimes saved not only because we accepted Jesus, but by chance we survived long enough to accept Jesus as our God? Or does this not make any sense?

The bare minimum is the Sacrament of Baptism. If he ran out of time, too bad for him.

Upon seeing Fred, the old man called out, "Young man, could you lend me a hand with this burden?" Fred hesitated, feeling the press of time on his shoulders. But seeing the old man's struggle, he decided to help. He nodded and approached the man. "Of course, sir," he replied, taking hold of the bag.

Together, they entered the old house. Fred saw that the house looked as if nobody had been living there for a long time.

The old man led Fred and Enzo through a hall and up a winding staircase. "We need to take this to the top floor," he explained. The house was four stories high, and the climb was arduous. The weight of the bag pressed heavily on Fred's shoulders.

As they ascended, Fred couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The old man's eyes seemed to glint with a strange light, and his movements were almost too fluid, too graceful for someone of his apparent age. Fred wondered whether the old man was truly who he appeared to be.

Finally, they reached the top floor. The old man opened a door, revealing a room filled with strange, bubbling concoctions and mysterious equipment. Fred set the bag down with a sigh of relief, his muscles aching from the effort.

"Thank you, young man," the old man said. "Would you care to stay for lunch? I've prepared a meal that I'm sure you'll find delightful."

Fred hesitated. He was due for an appointment and knew he shouldn't be late. "I'm sorry, but I really must be going," he replied.

But the old man insisted, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Please, I insist. It would be a shame for you to leave without tasting my cooking." He gestured to a table laden with food.

Fred was tempted and hesitated. The food smelled wonderful, and his stomach growled in response. But then, his father's teachings rose up in his mind, reminding him of the importance of punctuality. He realized that he should not be late for his appointment.

"I'm sorry, but I must go," Fred said firmly, stepping back from the table. The old man's expression darkened, and for a moment, Fred thought he saw a flicker of anger in his eyes.

As Fred turned to leave, the old man's demeanour changed abruptly. With a swift motion, he pulled out a hidden bag of soporific powder and threw its contents at Fred. He stumbled backward, narrowly avoiding the powder. The old man's face twisted into a malicious grin.

Fred's heart pounded in his chest as he scrambled to find an escape. Just then, Enzo, sensing the danger, leaped at Ruggero, barking fiercely. The sudden attack caught Ruggero off guard, and he stumbled, giving Fred a precious moment to run.

Fred ran down the winding staircase. He could hear the old man chasing behind him.

Reaching the ground floor, Fred spotted an open window and made a split-second decision. He leaped through it, landing on the grass outside. Ignoring the pain, he scrambled to his feet and ran, with Enzo close on his heels.

Fred didn't stop running until he was far from the house. Then Fred resumed his journey.

The road ahead was blocked by a fallen tree, and a sign indicated that the path was closed to pedestrians. Fred sighed, realizing they would need to find yet another way. Consulting his map, he decided to take a longer route via a hill road that meandered up and around the forest.

The hill road was steep and rocky. Fred and Enzo trudged onward, their pace slowing as the sun climbed higher in the sky. Both Fred and Enzo became very tired and hungry.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Suddenly, a food hawker appeared, carrying two plates filled with wonderfully fragrant food. It seemed as though he was offering it to them. Driven by instinct, Enzo leapt forward without hesitation and began eating from one of the plates. Animals act on instinct, but humans are different—they can make conscious choices based on reason and emotion.

Unlike Enzo, Fred hesitated. His father’s teachings echoed in his mind, urging caution. He faced a dilemma where reason and emotion battled for control. Torn between his hunger and his father’s lessons, he struggled to decide. In a moment of prudence, he chose not to eat. The food, as it turned out, was soporific, and the hawker was none other than Ruggero in disguise. To Fred’s horror, Enzo collapsed and lay motionless. Only now did Fred realize—it had all been part of Ruggero’s sinister plot.

In today’s situation, we have many who have accepted the Gospel, but who have chosen their own beliefs about what God intends to do for His people and during this forthcoming test, 1 Peter 4:12, they may fail to stand firm in their trust that the Lord will protect them. This won’t lose their salvation, but it will be a serious disadvantage, 1 Corinthians 3:13-15

The great chapter of Isaiah 35:1-10, is one of the many prophesies that describe the Lord’s faithful Christian people entering the holy Land, says: ...no one unclean will go there....The Lord’s people, set free: will enter Zion with shouts of triumph.

Psalms 107 describes how the Lord will help His people to travel to the holy Land. Isaiah 66:18b-21

Get a job after high school would have been a good idea. I could have got a well-paid job at the time.

What's that old saying 'don't throw stones if you live in a glass house'. Its funny how on just about every issue the Dems have gone crazy and fixated on in trying to blame Trump and Rep with. It ends up being the exact thing the Dems have done.

You can just about know where the Dems are at by using the very accusations they label Trump with. Those who judge others have to be prepared to be judged by the same standards.

Love to get reassurance like this about the fact hell isn't real, but heaven is.

Both are real.

And just asking , ARE we. under the Law. ??

The very real evil present within everyone is definitely both under the law and condemned by the law, rightfully so.

Mark 7:21-23 is a reality for all of us Dan. Anyone who doesn't believe that is just lying to themselves.

Dan Perez said:
Are we UNDER. the NEW COVENANT. ??

The tempter or his own in NO PERSON is under the New Covenant.

You're theology is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole by only seeing one party in the equations when that's simply not the case. We're all tempted internally by the tempter

Dan Perez said:
Are we UNDER GRACE ??

People are. Devils are not.

And a verse that says THE people of Israel and ALL. Mankind have ALWAYS been God.'s children. ??
