    Health and workplace bureaucracies

    Thanks for the thoughts and ideas so far. I've been in touch with my union/shop steward and they're going to look into disputing certain "facts" contained in a letter that my manager and HR want submitted as part of a medical evaluation. The evaluation itself will have bearing on how I'm...

    Health and workplace bureaucracies

    Hi all - just a question if anyone has ever been through this. I'm currently going through some things at work regarding my health and concerns that others have brought to my coordinator and manager (no worries, nothing truly disabling). My question is more for anyone who might have been through...

    "Not criminally responsible", ergo "not a criminal"?

    This is how I understood the situation. The man was experiencing a schizophrenic episode and the mother had left the home the day before, but returned to the home the day she was killed. So "not criminally responsible" would apply due to mental condition. Perhaps the judge meant that in the...

    "Not criminally responsible", ergo "not a criminal"?

    A news report stated that a Nova Scotia man who was found 'not criminally responsible' in te 2017 death of his wife will receive her life insurance policy payout. The judge stated this in his ruling: It was argued by the mother of the deceased that the couple's son should receive the payout...

    When you boast, boast in the Lord

    Other translations substitute "boastful" here with 'foolish' or 'arrogant'. And I'd agree that one who boasts in self is all of those things. Our boast should be in the Lord and all he has done for us.

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    Thank you for being a voice of reason. We all need it frequently

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    I've read the answer from the LCMS. Thank you for posting it for others as well. Self-righteousness is not a limited definition - it can come from the heart and judging where another's heart lies. What is that BUT relying on our own 'works' (unless you believe that sole judgment of another, and...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    As to the OP, I don't disagree with the view that we are to be obedient to the word, and all that Christ has commanded us. However, obedience is the result, the evidence of salvation - Christ in us and working through us. As the Apostle said, we have no room to boast, but must do our work in...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    Those are some major accusations. The poster has not denied Christ, but has quoted him in support of his argument. It doesn't make it necessarily correct, but it does support the credibility of the poster to state what the word actually says. Whether right or wrong in our judgment of...

    What are you listening to? - Part 2

    Incredible. I'd be the guy in the white 'T' in the front row! Funny thing is I found out about these guys from a metal band I'm fond of. The songwriter for the band cites 'Camel' as a primary influence

    Christmas Music

    Interesting context - This was shot during Bing Crosby's tour of England. David Bowie didn't want to sing 'Little Drummer Boy' as he didn't feel it was right for him. The songwriters for 'Peace On Earth' created the harmony part in about an hour, which is the same amount of time Bing and David...

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    Of course scripture shows that Satan DID not - according to the will of God. Revelation bears that out. But I didn't ask if he DID not, but if he "could or could not". If satan had the will to rebel, COULD he (not DID he) have had the will to repent of his deeds? And it's not about if I "still...

    Absent fruits signal the absence of faith

    I'm not sure what you mean by "...because of the Gospel".

    Absent fruits signal the absence of faith

    Fruit is the work of the Spirit, not because of the Gospel. It is the opposite of the "works of the flesh"

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    I'd be interested to see scripture both ways - that Satan coud or could not. The Angels, as created beings, show some agency to follow the commands of God:

    That ye may keep your own tradition

    Interesting link - thanks for that. There appears to be a variation in how strictly these ordinances are applied. Some would say they were cultural - this might be where the Lutheran church stands, I haven't looked at it in depth, and others would take a more conservative stance and appeal to...
