    Locked out

    I think tango and I are on the same page with this. Assuming that you're thinking of emergencies and not that some family member comes home late all the time and never seems able to find his own key, then it's not important that the hidden key is easily reached. For those few times when the...

    Locked out

    I've seen those, and they look good so the idea probably would work. But then I think, "why can't I just use one of these real rocks?" It seems to me that the main thing is not to put the key, whether you're using a phony or real rock or some other garden decoration, right adjacent to the...

    Who was your favorite USA president from before you were born?

    Maybe the key word in this question is "favorite," We can have a favorite without considering that person to be the "best." JFK for instance was likeable, but as a president he was only so-so.

    How accurate is the Bible?

    The Bible has been called the most criticized book in world history, and yet it's true that supposed errors that have been claimed by one critic or another have turned out, time after time, not to hold up to closer scrutiny. That said, we must also recognize that most of the criticisms are...

    Who was your favorite USA president from before you were born?

    All things considered, George Washington was probably the best of them all.

    Reconciling Predestination and Freewill

    Not exactly. Although the reply didn't spell out its case with a flood of Bible verses, the poster COULD have done so. Meanwhile, there is almost nothing that establishes Universal salvation in the Bible's pages. But of course we'd be happy to read what you present to us as scriptural evidence...

    What does this phrase mean?

    What that says is that a sinless being understands that there are temptations and human weaknesses which play upon the individual. But to excuse sin in a being that has free will cannot be justified simply because someone was tempted and "gave in" to temptation. The Bible is more than clear...

    Trumps Wild Claim

    Those developments were already underway and well-known before Trump commented on them.

    Olive Wood Prayer Crosses

    It's commonly olive wood. Many times, visitors to the Holy Land pick up such an item as a gift or souvenir, that's all. I was given one when I was a child. Later on, I picked up a Bible here in the USA that was made with olive wood covers. I still think it's kind of neat. And my guess is that...

    Trump Is Disqualified From 2024 Ballot

    Me, too. It's rather that they are willing to suffer Trump having an increased popularity among Republicans and Independents or anyone else...so long as it doesn't result in him being elected. And the surest way to keep him from being elected is to alter the election laws.

    Trump Is Disqualified From 2024 Ballot

    He still becomes president so long as 270 electors chosen in the presidential election vote for him. It's these people--representatives of the voters who actually are the recipients of the votes cast on Election Day--who do the choosing of the president and VP. If there are not 270 votes in the...

    Trump Is Disqualified From 2024 Ballot

    But not to base its decision on a federal law that does not apply. It can't come as a surprise, considering that supporters of the Democratic Party have tried already to get the same decision out of other states (failing in all of them). In fact, when it's understood that there's no limit to...

    Trump Is Disqualified From 2024 Ballot

    It's not just an American system. Other nations, including Germany for instance, have state legislatures that make policy for those regions, although not superseding the national parliament. It's how a federal system works, as opposed to a unitary system such as France has. As for your...

    Banned Books

    Sure. I'll explain. Your wording, "very high burden of justification" isn't at all specific, you know. And then you compromised the position you are now saying was yours when you then went on to conclude with this statement-- The idea of banning any reading in a library because "it contains...

    Banned Books

    The example I used was about stocking a book that advocated mass murder, not that bombs can kill. Anyway, the point there was that most people understand that a public library should have some limits on what's being explained or promoted. Until recently, we all took this for granted. If another...

    Once Saved, Always Saved

    Well, the point there was just that those are decisions made purely by us, and made for whatever reason that's sufficient in our judgment. It's a mistake to make real conversion and Faith be thought of as another choice the individual makes on his own without any action on the part of God.

    Once Saved, Always Saved

    Well, that's debatable. So are a lot of other things we reject as unbiblical. How can accepting/believing in Christ as one's Lord and Savior be irrelevant? I don't see why we have to say that Bob lied in this case. But everything you described about his early years could easily be--and in...

    Banned Books

    Okay. In a public library, we'd probably expect information about how to make bombs or books that advocate mass murder would be banned, therefore, and not just because one person (to use your example) filed a formal objection. Is such a policy, therefore, improper? Does it follow that...

    Once Saved, Always Saved

    "Doesn't make sense at all"...IF you presume that a conversion experience is merely a personal commitment that's little different from deciding which car to buy or which candidate to vote for. Those decisions are not a matter of a divine plan, and the presumption (which is not confined to the...
