I don't start mowing the lawn until 9am on the weekends and only mow the lawn in the afternoon during the week after returning home from work. Now we have two neighbors that are partyers. The ones directly behind us always shut it down by midnight on the weekends which is cool being when you...

Yeah but what's that got to do with me and my post? I've attended and studied Orthodoxy for a few years and am rather pro-Orthodoxy. And within liturgical Protestantism the sermon is only one piece of the pie much like an Orthodox DL.

Agreed Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid! Nay, I would not have known sin, but through the law; for I would not have known lust, except that the law had said, “Thou shalt not covet.”

I would say that 'perfect' love is a condition of the heart and it would be an action, feeling and much more. But I have found even when my heart is not ready to perfectly love, action is a great place to start. I seems tol forcing own fallen nature to God's will is part of the process. I've...

So I've explained how 'I' reconcile difficult passages so what is your current position of the matter?

Nope, God said it first through scripture. 1 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Don’t argue with me argue with God. :overalls:

Yes I would think it’s the HS in one way or another. First of all genocide or death for that matter is no problem to an omnipotent omniscient God. The problem comes in for the individual concerning their eternal existence. Sometimes on a natural level a person by their own willful blindness...

I agree there are some extremely difficult scriptures to deal with and with that said wouldn’t engage with an atheist who stubbornly wanted to defeat Christianity from that angle. When they approach it that way it shows me ‘typically’ their mindset and that they aren’t primed by the HS to...

Amen and God’s blessings for a quick recovery.

Our original parents initiated sin and death and by extension us by our fallen natures are reaping what we sow. The demise of the Amaleks is no more brutal than a cigarette smoker dying a slow painful death.

Ultimately I trust God and His righteousness. Why He didn't do it Himself like Noah's flood or the parting of the Red sea and the Egyptians I don't know but let that be a warming concerning hell.

I think this thread theme is a great idea as long as we follow it's parameters. As far as the subject of the OP, Lutherans embrace paradoxes which I highly appreciate and don't try and force scriptures into categories when they don't actually harmonize for the sake of our own limited...

I logged out and back in and now it’s working :thumbsup:

Thank you MC. This is the second thread that that has happened to me.

Is there a video post that I’m not seeing?

Wow, looks like we have whiteout conditions in Alaska!

I’m currently using Morbid blue.

May God’s mercy abound :pray7:

Looks like we may a bit of an Ai competition about to break out :star wars duel::spy:
