    A blood pressure monitor

    Yes, I have and use one, but if I were to offer any advice about them it would be not to spend a fortune on the models that supposedly give you all sorts of information that you don't need or care about. The basic model that uses a cuff on the upper arm isn't particularly expensive and gives you...

    Pastor Facing Criminal Charges

    Probably yes, but neither of those is a church. At this stage, my feeling is that you are playing the 'devil's advocate' for the sake of keeping the discussion going, and I'm not particularly offended by that. Still in all, a church is a church and is treated in law as being primarily a house...

    calling on God's name

    In scripture, to call upon the name of someone can mean to call out to them. It's not used exclusively in the sense that we today are always given a personal label at birth, what we call a "first name" and a "last name" (or surname) and maybe a middle name also. :) Note that "I am that I am"...

    U.S. Alone with Israel again

    Since when has it been considered a war crime to unintentionally endanger the lives of civilians when using the bombs, rockets, and etc. of modern warfare? That aside, I'd really like to know how the Israelis are expected to defeat Hamas (which attacked Israel) as Hamas continues to wage war...

    Ron DeSantis suspends campaign for president

    Exactly. I'm fascinated by the way some of these publications do it. They start off with their particular slant, completely divorced from reality. AND THEN, somewhat later in the article, they make a concession to balancing the analysis by telling us what "experts said," which as it turns out is...

    Ron DeSantis suspends campaign for president

    It's not because of any of those ^ things. Definitely not. However, later in the article you're working from we come to some of the actual reasons-- "Looking back at the campaign, experts said it was an almost impossible election cycle for a relative newcomer to the national stage. Mr...

    Pastor Facing Criminal Charges

    Reportedly, the structure in question is located in the central business zone. "According to the city's complaint, Avell allowed people to reside at his church in Bryan, called Dad's Place, for extended periods of time, defying the city's zoning rules. Dad's Place is zoned within the city's...

    Nothing. This is apparently not a private residence.

    Pastor Facing Criminal Charges

    Well, let's take a quick look from the other side. Is it the contention of the church and its supporters that a city should not have any zoning laws? What, for instance, if this church were in a residential area, which many churches are? Bear in mind that according to the news article, there...

    Should Christians believe in Karma?

    Agreed. What people usually are doing when they speak of "Karma" is nothing more than using the word as a kind of shorthand for "what goes around, comes around" and is not meant as an affirmation of the non-Christian religious concept that is Karma.

    Transgender woman sues

    Yes. We are speaking of a man, even if he happens to be a transvestite and says his gender "identity" is different from his gender. By the way also, there are many instances of people claiming to be of the opposite sex so that they can take advantage of the other inmates...and those claimants...

    Corporate Diversity

    Well, of course, it's true that the word is a legitimate word with a particular meaning. However, the reality is that it has been adopted by a certain political faction in order to make its objectives seem admirable and just. More specifically, these people want to be understood as saying that...

    Corporate Diversity

    The "trouble" with Equity is that it's a propaganda word, chosen for its vagueness but also for its similarity to Equality which sounds and looks similar while not carrying the same meaning. If someone happens to notice that it actually isn't another way of saying Equality, the advocates for...

    Oh, let's not. I think that what I was inquiring about has been established now.

    Once Saved, Always Saved

    All that we've done, then, is verify that you agree with Calvin, not that he's correct about the matter that's often termed OSAS.

    Once Saved, Always Saved

    Sooooo... Does the Bible teach OSAS or not, Tulipbee? :rolleyes:

    How accurate is the Bible?

    I agree. No faxing, but the Holy Scriptures do tell us in several places that the writers of those books wrote as they were inspired (by God) to write.

    Religion in politics

    Of course, they do that because most voters have some church affiliation and care about this, whereas their opposite number usually don't care as much whether a candidate is a churchgoer or not. But sometimes it doesn't work, and you may have noticed that Biden isn't flashing his rosary around...
