    SHOULD I BE WATER BAPTIZED?

    There are no ordinances or ceremonies that truthfully do anything except within the heart of the Believer. And if a person does not understand or acknowledge the functions of Baptism...they are merely getting wet publicly. Likewise a person who accepts the responsibilities and functions of...

    One thing I strongly oppose Trump on

    Russia has no nukes that work. They disintegrated long ago. They MIGHT have enough material for one...but it's kinda doubtful. Nuclear weapons are powerful....almost too powerful to be useful. They also are extremely expensive. Plutonium, deuterium and tritium are the most expensive...

    One thing I strongly oppose Trump on

    Putin is a degenerate gambler.... Meaning he has a ring through his nose you can pull him around by. And literally destroy him by doing so.

    Climate change fanatics want to blow up the seabed with massive nuclear bombs

    Here in the USA there is no harvesting of old growth trees. We have actually a surplus of tree farms and farmed trees.(for lumber products) our forests (except in California) are regularly cleaned up to prevent forest fires. Big mills get most of the trees. BUT Small mills usually go in...

    Climate change fanatics want to blow up the seabed with massive nuclear bombs

    A nuke at the bottom of the ocean won't do much. If the largest nuke (made by Russia) the Tzar bomb was detonated at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.... All we would get is a few bubbles rising to the surface. The water pressure is so much that it will literally crush the explosion. (If we...

    Soups.plus homemade meals.

    We are having beef hand pies tonight. These are essentially the same things as pot pies except a LOT more meat and less gravy. So you can carry them around, pack them in a lunch, or whatever. Like a baked sandwich with pastry instead of bread. Once upon a time these were sold on the...

    If You Could Have a 5 min. Conversation with God . . .

    Oh it's possible to talk withGod and for Him to answer questions... I didn't like the answers....because God has deemed that we, as humans, don't need to know the future. It doesn't mean that God doesn't love us. Because God is GOOD, and some knowledge can hurt us in the long run. So...

    Soups.plus homemade meals.

    Just as a bit of advice.... Don't store them on a computer's hard drive. Store them on a flash drive or memory card. Computers die, and subsequently your recipies can die with them..

    WHAT DID JESUS MEAN TO BE BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT

    Torah Tahorah.... Water is LAW. ( A grade school symbolism of understanding among the Jews) It doesn't matter how many people have preached something different because they are unfamiliar with Jewish life in the ANE.

    Soups.plus homemade meals.

    Yeah, I got an old Olympic. Hand crank....not an electric one. Metal gears though. So it's lasted over 30 years. Basic and simple design. They aren't complicated gizmos. I wouldn't know where to go for a new one.

    Two different mindsets about peace.... Palestinians and Israelis interviewed

    A lot of Palestinians are going to die today. Palestinians still hold 73 hostages....only 3 were released today. (One American) He'll on Earth is coming.

    Trump and Musk are POWERFUL!

    Ummmm Trump is President. Musk's only power is bringing information to light. He has none otherwise in our government. So if a flashlight is power....you have a strange definition of the word.

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Analyzing scripture in this fashion is a whopper of a mistake. Genesis is NOT a history book. It wasn't given to us to know history even if it does contain history. It was given to us to understand God....and a bit about ourselves. God is NOT an allegory. Proceed at your own risk...

    Soups.plus homemade meals.

    So.... At a guess, curing out your own corned beef is out of the question? It's wonderful with horseradish sauce, boiled red potatoes, and buttered, steamed cabbage. I'm just today finishing the curing of a whole brisket I picked up on sale. Good for three roasts. (St. Patrick's day is...

    What is your best argument for the existence of God?

    Oh....forgot Evolution....somewhat. I touched it but didn't completely denounce it. We, as a planet with flora and fauna....are not evolving. We are devolving. (As is consistent with physical laws) We do not have the same number of plants and animals as this planet once had...

    What is your best argument for the existence of God?

    Where as you set up straw dog arguments and claim patently that they are all useless and worthless.... That's not exactly true. Intelligent design is a good argument....otherwise a tornado hitting a Home Depot and Lowes would spit out a few houses for a subdivision. But it goes even...

    Unbelievable, crazy spending by USAID... examples

    Generally speaking, In the past decades; every few months....someone in govt was discovered to be doing something illicit with Government tax dollars or interns or contractors. From House members of congress, Senators, governors, various department heads and etc. since the days of Bill...

    7 second test for a Christian narcissist

    Now y'all are gonna spoil all my fun. Narcissists have this shiny brass ring running through their nose that can make them go anywhere and do anything when pulled on. Then their fears and wants will make them do things as well. Kinda a reverse carrot and stick except using fear and pain...

    X-mas makes a mockery of Christ

    What if the Pagans are doing EXACTLY as the Early Church did....and all the finger waggers are wrong?
