    The development of Doctrine

    The big difference is that most denominations aren't dogmatic about many of the things they teach. While they may 100% convinced that their understanding is true, they also understand that Salvation comes by Grace through Faith. And that anyone with a genuine faith in Christ is part of the...

    Daylight saving time (US)

    In the winter, I had rather have more light in the evening than in the morning. But, like others have said, I wish they would just pick one and stick with it.

    Primary Results-Election Speculation

    That often depends on what other primaries are going on at the same time. If there is a contested local primary then folks are less likely to switch parties in the primary. I have know idea if that was the case in Vermont.

    Primary Results-Election Speculation

    What is going to make or break Trump this year is how many of those 25% who voted for Haley will hold their nose and vote for Trump. This is not your typical republican nominating contest where people vote for their favorite in the Primary but will get behind any of the Republicans come the...

    Primary Results-Election Speculation

    Nikki Haley won the Vermont Primary and garnered 15-30% in most states on Super Tuesday. As far as I can tell, no incumbent president (I count Trump as an incumbent) has never lost a state in the Primaries and went on to win the general election. The latest examples I can find are Ford in...

    The development of Doctrine

    My issue with the Catholic Definition of Doctrinal Development is that it is claim that everything taught in the "Apostolic Deposit of Faith" is what the Catholic church teaches. As you said, the teaching is that everything was already there, but in "seed form" and not fully developed. I...

    I voted in the Republican Primary

    Does that mean I can gripe about either Trump or Biden for the next four years??? :) Also, I actually got polled last week. It was interesting. I got a text message asking if I would be interested in a political poll. When I replied Yes I got a link to a website to answer the polling...

    Flashing your car headlights

    One of three things: 1. There is a cop up ahead, slow down or get a ticket 2. There is a wreck up ahead, slow down or be in a wreck yourself 3. Your lights are on bright and are blinding me

    Is Ukraine Aid a Jobs Program?

    So you consider yourself a prophet of God who has divine revelation from God and speaks for God? I just want to make sure I' fully understand where you are coming from.

    Is Ukraine Aid a Jobs Program?

    Your profile says that your Catholic. Have you told your Priest or Bishop all of this? What was their reaction?

    Is Ukraine Aid a Jobs Program?

    You still haven't answered my question. How do you know all of this? Do you have a special revelation from God? Did someone tell you this stuff, and if they did, why did you believe them?

    Is Ukraine Aid a Jobs Program?

    You didn't answer the question. How do you know all of this? Do you have a special revelation from God? Did someone tell you this stuff, and if they did, why did you believe them? Christianity has survived because God wills it to survive. Christ is the Way to the Triune God. It is...

    Is Ukraine Aid a Jobs Program?

    How do you know this? Remember the Satan scare of the 1980's. There was supposedly a satanic image on the back of products by Procter and Gamble. Who would have thought that Satan used soap to hurl his hatred toward humanity. I would think Satan would be smart enough to not leave his...

    Is Ukraine Aid a Jobs Program?

    Well, there were no guarantees NATO would have let Ukraine in the club. It wasn't until after Russia annexed (took over) the Crimea region that Ukraine started wanting to join NATO. And why wouldn't they want to be part of NATO. They new it was just a matter of time before Russia wanted the...

    Is Ukraine Aid a Jobs Program?

    If the people in those countries want to join Russia and they vote for a President who vows to join Russia then the USA shouldn't have any say in the matter. If they have a military coup and the "installed" leader wants to join Russia, against the will of the people, then that is another matter.

    Is Ukraine Aid a Jobs Program?

    So you think Russia has the right to tell Ukraine that it can't join NATO. And invade and attack it if Ukraine doesn't do what it says? Edit to add: It would be equally as wrong if Ukraine had said they want to join Russia and NATO invaded to keep them from doing it. If it is the end of the...

    GoFundMe To Help Billionaire Donald Trump

    Oh I definitely think the current lawsuits are about keeping him from becoming President. The problem for Democrats is that every time he is in court his polling numbers go up and his fundraising goes up. Democrats would have been better off to ignore Trump. As it is, they have made Trump...

    GoFundMe To Help Billionaire Donald Trump

    That is not exactly true. As a business man and celebrity Trump was sued over 3,500 times. That article is from 2016. Being sued is nothing new to Donald Trump. The Felony indictments, however, are new. The difference is that now that he is political it goes from being a blurb on the...

    Is Ukraine Aid a Jobs Program?

    That is a lie. The US did not promise to not expand NATO. That is Russian Propaganda. Yes, it is unjust. It was unjust of Russia to try to impose its will on another country. If Ukraine wants to join NATO and the EU then it has the right to do so, provided the member countries agree...

    Is Ukraine Aid a Jobs Program?

    So you are okay with letting Russia overtake Ukraine? Companies (and people) always profit off war. Especially a war in someone else's country. US companies and citizens made a ton of money off WW II. That doesn't mean waging the war was unjust. The real question is "Should we come to...
