... which is more or less what I just said, no?

This is a tricky one. If I recall it's in 1Co6 that Paul says we should stay with our spouse. It's easy to argue for exceptions but Paul didn't offer exceptions or get-outs, the instruction was very simply to stay. We might argue that some instructions are cultural rather than eternal but...

The question is very vague here. In generic terms the Bible tells us a lot about the will of God. In specific terms it's not always so simple - if I'm contemplating taking a job with Company A or Company B there isn't a single verse in Scripture that will give me an explicit answer as to which...

I wonder how the more left-leaning types would feel if roles were reversed and "sanctuary cities" were the places that refused to enforce the latest gun-control legislation.

I think it's amplifying what was already there. One problem with the internet is that in many ways it's a great equalizer. Which can be a good thing in that it lets the little people have their say, but it's not always a good thing when it becomes difficult to differentiate between the person...

Only to the extent it's absolutely medically necessary. I can see a case to be made for requiring people who work with critically ill patients in an ICU to be vaccinated, for example. Aside from that, no.

Nothing in particular. So probably some running and some walking, and hopefully some motivation to do battle with the room I'm working on.

Is it your content or copied from someone else? What about this channel makes it "most important"? Either way it's hard to read when the text formatting is so wonky. If you're going to post can you take a little time and present it so it's at least broadly readable? As it stands I honestly...

Are you copying your posts from somewhere else? They all seem to follow the same pattern - weird line breaks, weird paragraph formations, and links to videos with foreign language titles. If you're copying from somewhere else it's good practise to indicate where you copied from. If you aren't...

This sort of thing can vary from fairly easy to particularly difficult depending on the circumstance. Sometimes it can be pretty obvious what we're supposed to do. If there's an option that doesn't make a lot of sense, that you wouldn't normally choose, but more and more things seem to be...

You list yourself as male but this starts with Christ allegedly talking to a "beloved daughter". Did you copy it from somewhere?

I was under the impression we should avoid sin in general rather than putting them on some kind of leaderboard so we can select which ones to avoid.

This sounds like one of those situations where there's a silly twist in tax regulations. There have been a few of those in the UK where VAT is applied to "luxury food" but not to "food", leading to lots of fussing over exactly where the dividing line between the two might lie. If I recall...

Free beer? Where do I sign up? Like most things coming out of California these days it's just bonkers. Sooner or later people will stop voting for it. Probably when California runs out of "rich people" to tax to fund it all.

We're due rain for most of the day today so any exercise will probably just be laps of the hall at church. Seriously tedious but it gets some movement in.

I had hoped for an easy workout today but my suggested workout was "90 minutes base". Because it's warm and humid it was difficult to keep my pulse down but today I decided I just wanted to run rather than have my watch constantly beeping at me to tell me I'm doing it wrong, so accepted my heart...

Very rarely. Sometimes we'll have a piece of special music (usually sung by a duet rather than a soloist) but that's maybe once or twice a year, if that.

Apparently if you chant the mantra used by the Hare Krishnas you can experience much the same thing. I haven't tried it for myself but I've been assured by several followers of the cult that the effect is very much as you've described here.

Not in any unacceptable sense. My next door neighbor usually stands on the edge of my lawn when he does his annual hedge trimming, simply because it makes it easier for him to reach parts of it. When I see him doing it I always yell at him to "get off my land", and every time he nods and...

You started your post with "today we want to talk about..." Who is "we", exactly? Do you mean you want to talk about it, or is someone else involved?
