    Common Figure of Speech?

    ...what I think you were referring to in your post #238 overview of the timing of the Crucifixion, interment, and Resurrection of Christ. Good. I'm sure you will find plenty that will clarify the matter for you.

    Common Figure of Speech?

    Basically, they all account for it, assuming that we're talking about the well-known denominations, whether Catholic or Protestant. I couldn't speak for the position that might be held by some little-known splinter group or cult. You understand. But personally, I'm not interested in explaining...

    Common Figure of Speech?

    Well, what you are referring to is the standard thinking among Christians of all the better-known denominations, and the issue has been studied for centuries, up and down and every other way.

    USA Biden falls on stage

    Especially when we compare Biden with Trump. Joe Biden, despite all the efforts that are made to cause him to seem more active and decisive than he really is, cannot come close to equaling Trump, who is virtually a workaholic, even now when he's not in the White House. Comparing Biden with...

    USA Biden falls on stage

    She seems, by rumor and news leaks, to be his top choice all right.

    USA Biden falls on stage

    If that's how you assess the difference, it would of course govern whom you vote for, but the fact that Biden isn't likely to live out a second term and, in any case, is already impaired in several ways would still remain an important difference. ...which probably is what a lot of other voters...

    USA Biden falls on stage

    And the contrast between the two men, when it comes to alertness and their ability to function, is striking, isn't it?

    USA Biden falls on stage

    If you say so. He works only half a week and not the whole day even when he IS at work. He spends more time in Delaware than in the District of Columbia, and he needs his wife to tell him which way to turn and when his time at the podium has ended. He often forgets what he's talking about in...

    USA Biden falls on stage

    Yes, it happens, and this isn't any smoking gun, but if every "not a smoking gun" brings the same "it could happen to anybody" excuse--and we all know that it DOESN'T just happen to anybody--there is good reason for thinking that something's happened to this person, the oldest president in our...

    USA Biden falls on stage

    I agree. At least with the latter point. However, I am also aware that our part-time president's infirmities do not end with tripping onstage, but yet he's given a fabulous amount of "cover" by the media and by Democrats who want everyone to think that there's nothing unusual going on there...

    No, it isn't, and you disregarded the rest of Scripture when doing what you did. You need to realize that your own hunches are not the final answer when it comes to understanding the Bible, and certainly not when you pick a single verse as your "proof." When you find that your guess...

    USA Biden falls on stage

    But none of the other people who walked back and forth on that same stage did so. Hmm. To say it could happen to anyone is theoretically true, but so also is it true that anyone could trip whenever they walk on a flight of stairs, cross a street and step onto a curb, or the like. But guess...

    Completely legalizing marijuana

    Well, the opposite has happened in this country, so there must be other factors at work. Possibly the availability, or cost, or something else, because there's no way that an intoxicant or hallucinogen is going to be just plain disinteresting to a lot of people, whether or not it's good for them.

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    The Apostles' Creed is based on the early baptismal formula, and so is older than the Nicene. But the Nicene is more expansive, particularly concerning the nature of God which was a controversy in the ancient church, and it is valued for being the most widely used Creedal statement among...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    All right, but this is exactly what I read, and for me it's a little bit different--

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    FWIW, that perception seems "off" to me. But maybe I'm not following someone else's wording. For one thing, we don't die on the cross with Jesus. He died for us on the cross. And the two justifications being debated are about 1) God deeming someone righteous and 2) that person accepting the...

    Faith

    No, it isn't. And what you've theorized about it is a gross mischaracterization of the meaning of "good works." So here again is Ephesians 2:10 that you misconstrued: "10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Anyone...

    Does your church have Confirmation?

    Yes, for some reason I totally forgot that your church is a Lutheran church where those activities would not be usual anyway. 😕 My bad.

    Does your church have Confirmation?

    Hmm. Would that mean that altar calls, revivals, and/or other activities that have as their purpose the urging of people to give their lives to Christ will probably be discontinued too?
