There's also the question of what theopneustas means in context, because there is a good case to be made that prior to Origen the idea was a life-giving property to the texts which fits with Pauls focus on the usefulness of the Scriptures in pastoral service rather than a theory of inspiration. It is out-breath not in-breath.2 Tim 3:15 And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures which can instruct thee to salvation by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
3:16 All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice:
The Scriptures Timothy knew from his infancy ( most likely before Christ was crucified ) is the Tanakh. Paul COULD NOT be referring to the Bible. Paul was referring to the Tanakh.
Free will doesn't require freedom from consequences, nor does it need to be absolute and without constraint. Coercion is also debateable, depending on whether it is resistable or irresistable. Free will just requires that the origin of the actions be in the person's will, rather than being something imposed upon them. So distinguishing between volitional agency and free will is an artificial one, as they amount to the same thing.True free will requires the ability of one moral agent to make moral choices without coercion, constraints, or consequences imposed by another moral agent. Anything short of that is not "free will," but "volitional agency."
You apparently don't know anything about universal healthcare if you think the ACA somehow resembles it. This post is objectively wrong.The ACA is about as close to universal healthcare as you can get. That's why it cost so much. If we had actual universal healthcare as some other countries do, it would cost even more, and the quality of healthcare would plummet. You can ask residents of those other countries who come to the USA for healthcare all about it. The long wait times are enough to cause them to come here where it's not universal, but higher quality.
I think you are confused. I did no such thing. Also, I did address the post, twice.Why are you judging me, and are you not attacking the poster rather than addressing the post?
Neither would help.Yes ... our elections should be a high priority and everything possible should be put in place to ward off "interference" and so far that has not been done. Ending mail in voting and requiring proper ID would help.
According to the Scriptures, we walk as He walked when we follow in His example that He set forth for us 1John2:6 1 Peter 2:21-22 So how did Jesus live what did He teach this is the faith we are to have, not just faith in Jesus, but the faith of Jesus Rev14:12
Smaller insurers have a smaller risk pool by nature. Therefore, they must either be very choosy about who they accept (which is problematic for people with, say, pre-existing conditions) or charge a lot of money for their premiums because they lack the leverage to negotiate with providers and don't have a large pool of insured individuals to spread costs among. While they might be a good option for some people, they can't (and won't) insure everyone.Have you considered smaller insurers?
The problem is that health insurance (and healthcare in general) doesn't operate on free market principles. You can't shop around for the best price or highest-rated hospital when you're having a heart attack or you suddenly go into labor or you run over your foot with a lawnmower. On the insurance side of things, as I said, smaller companies have to cut coverage or limit access in order to compete on price with the giant conglomerates. While that may look like a "free market" at a glance, offering lesser coverage (e.g. a catastrophic coverage policy rather than full coverage) or blocking the guy who has a family history of colon cancer is not something that we should be aspiring to.Free competition is the key,
What's the incentive for that? The government has a good reason to want a healthy population, but a private corporation? Please. Moreover, it's far from simple to run such a company.Blacks Lives Matter, for example, can offer their members health care and share the cost between members. They can cap the salary of a CEO at $100,000 and put it in their bylaws that every employee must make at least half of the salary of the CEO in order to keep costs affordable for patients. Anyone can incorporate and offer those same salaries and go into health insurance only, with a goal of making health insurance affordable for everyone.
The ACA does not restrict what companies are permitted to participate in the marketplace. They must offer plans that meet certain standards (e.g. no rejecting people based on pre-existing conditions, no lifetime benefit caps, etc), but there's nothing that says that Joe & Mary's Family Insurance Co. can't list their plans on the marketplace. The main reason why you only see plans from the "big, fat, rich insurance companies" on the marketplace is because they have a huge risk pool, and thus can offer better rates for plans that meet the ACA standard. And people buying their plans on the marketplace are going to look at two seemingly identical plans and pick the one that costs $500 less per month.A person should be able to CHOOSE insurance from companies other than the ones Obama and Pelosi decided to favor.
If you have a point to make please do so.
Is that bad?
Do you donate plasma often?
Jesus brought grace when he came in the flesh, but example of grace was in the days of Noah. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. (Genesis 6:8), And Noah and his family was saved. Not save from eternal life, but saved from the flood. This is why Jesus had to come. Paul says in Hebrews 9: 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: 26 for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.And how will you explain how anyone can be saved by the NEW COVENANT TODAY ??
And explain Heb 9:18. !!
And when. do you believe the BLOOD of Christ BEGAN. to saved anyone ??
