    DOGE updates

    I wonder if the 115 year olds marked as alive in the social security database had wives who were much younger and still collect on their husband's Social security, and that is why they are marked as such.

    Why believe left leaning ideologies?

    Why do people adopt a leftist ideology, what draws them? What is the psychology behind that decision? This is how I see it. Let us consider the conscience and what it does to man or woman. Does it not make us fear judgement when we have done wrong? So a way was made to appease the...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    Humans are not rational creatures. We don't consider evidence, weigh pros and cons, or good or evil. Decisions are often knee jerk reactions, which are often influenced by the flesh. So absent from the flesh perhaps rational decision making is possible.

    Biden Preemptively Pardons Fauci, Miley, J6 committee

    Presidential pardons were issued by electronic signature on a computer at the Whitehouse while Biden was off golfing. So Trump declared those pardons null and void.

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    A few things I expect to contribute: 1. Our new spiritual bodies will not be tempted by the flesh. 2. No temptations from demons or fallen angels. 3. Faith will not be required to know the Lord sees what we are doing. 4. The peace of the Lord will change our behavior. 5. Our experiences...

    The Chosen

    Don't get me started on the last supper painting.

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

    Their arrogance was the same as we have today in those who seek to create a one world government that takes the place of God to the people of the world.

    The Chosen

    He could have. Like he told us to do when taken before the authorities. As he could depend on the Spirit to help for anything. "But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that...

    The Chosen

    The issue is that Jesus was writing and revising the speech in the Chosen. But he was told exactly what to say, like is mentioned in John 12:49-50, so revisions should not have been necessary. The way I imagine it happened in real life is Jesus was completely unprepared for the speech. The...

    Being in space and spiritual encounters

    Imagine if this were the view from your window.

    The Chosen

    If a little yeast leavening the lump applies to disputable matters and not just false doctrine or sin, then everyone on earth who has heard a sermon, or read the bible interpreting it for themselves, or was taught by their parents are already affected by a kind of leaven.

    The Chosen

    You have mentioned some issues that could be attributed to artistic license taken from what is not written in scripture. Each episode is sort of like a semon, teaching something practical and specific. I just wish they wouldn't contradict scripture for the sake of this narrative to make it...

    Being in space and spiritual encounters

    I would think the perspective from space would be enough to draw one nearer to God. As from up there we would feel separated from the world below. Yet as you pass over the dark side of the earth you can see the lights from the cities, and associate them with people, as if you know them all. And...

    Don't believe this thread

    Man can not search the heart, only observe actions. God who, knows what is in our hearts, is able to determine if someone truly believes. But there are also external observable indications of what is in the heart. As it is written, 'out of the heart the mouth speaks.'. One can not truly be a...

    Do you think the sin of human lead the world to the end of the death?

    An understanding of God's wrath may help. God is perfect in every way, including his judgement. He will not allow a sin to go unaddressed, even between others. Eventually the cup of his wrath will fill and be poured out. Matthew 23:34-36 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and...

    The Greatest Cabinet Ever (Trumps 2nd)

    I've seen it demonstrated that main stream media literally follows the same script. Several outlets across multiple platforms and media companies will use the exact same headlines and lies. It can't be blamed on lazy journalism, the headlines are too similar. It is because they are handed down...

    Speak to the value of following Jesus

    This is a good question. What you described is what I refer to as the Wisdom of the Lord. This is opposed to the wisdom of the world. The wisdom of the world, while logical from a primal and anmlimalistic point of view, will provide one with a degree of success in society. The wisdom of the...

    Canadian compares Canada vs American health care and says 100% American system is so much better

    It was a facetious commentary on the arguments between Canadians in favor of their socialized medicine of questionable quality, and Americans with our overpriced healthcare.

    Canadian compares Canada vs American health care and says 100% American system is so much better

    The Canadians I've spoken with are quite satisfied with their healthcare. I wouldn't be in favor of socializing medicine though, because while it may start out well it will become more bureaucratic and quality of care will decline. You didn't have euthanasia being pushed before the...
