    Pet peeve about driving

    Amish buggies are easily seen, are about the size of a small car, and they are required to have reflectorized signs as a warning. All of that, unlike bikes. That's the biggest issue.

    USA Even MORE Liberal Hypocrisy

    That appears to be the case, all right. Although California is the "proving ground" for every new Tradphobic* initiative, we're dealing with a national epidemic. * tradphobia noun Fear or hatred of traditional social norms and people who value them.

    Pet peeve about driving

    Very true, guys. When I begin my right turn into my little street, with my turn signal on, there's usually some tailgater who will then floor it, cross the double no-passing lines, and do it in the face of oncoming traffic. The reason for this is that he's been thinking about doing this for a...

    How patriotic are you?

    But, but... Where do the people who produce the goods needed for the pod people to exist create it, deliver it, service the machines, work on the information to be given to the pod people, and so on...live and work themselves?? I know, "Never mind." It's like any other liberal scheme that...

    Biblical Prophecy

    Almost all the claims about 'end times' events being upon us today actually mimic similar claims that other generations made and were confident about...a couple of centuries ago, or a millennium ago, or at some other point in past history. However, there are some predicted events that may be a...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    The many times that an OT verse has been mentioned or posted in support of that belief, as compared with the references made to NT verses. This is important since--as I noted--the situation of mankind vs. God was different in OT times from the situation in NT times. As we all know, the Law was...

    Dinosaurs and Birds

    How many times has this matter apparently been settled, and then it's raised again in exactly the same form? You seem unable to get over it--even though it's not a requirement for membership and plenty of LCMS members are believers in theistic evolution and known by the church to be so. Be...

    Faith

    Well, that lasted all of two days. Are you saying then that your own boasting about having been chosen as one of God's Elect is appropriate and right to do, but for other believers to boast about playing a part in their salvation (along with Faith) by performing works of charity as ordered by...

    Stealing food

    I believe that that was an established Hebrew policy, however, meaning that the event described in the New Testament doesn't represent any special teaching of Jesus.

    How patriotic are you?

    That's right. I was concerned to present the "real-world" situation instead. All sorts of schemes and theories look good in the laboratory or on the drawing board, except that they don't work when tried out in a real society with real people.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    And that's correct. They do. However, my comment there was incidental to the main purpose for me to have written that post. The hope was that I could settle the meaning of "works" for those members who, up to that point, were still in doubt about that issue. See post 530 for example.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    I'd put it another way and say that they are what Our Lord taught us to do. Regardless of how one understands the matter of justification, salvation, and so forth, we as believers in Christ are directed to live lives of compassion, forgiveness, and love. The acts which further those aims are...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Predestination may amount to an age-old discussion, but not the issue of "works" which we were discussing. Simply thinking something, saying something, believing something, or moving some of one's body parts for some reason IS NOT "works" in the theological sense, yet many people mistakenly...

    Trump's sexual abuse verdict

    It's all too obvious what's going on. The feds are after a Republican president who's the frontrunner for his party's nomination in 2024, a Republican Congressman, and a Republican Supreme Court justice, but no one from the other party involved with the same, similar, or alleged missteps.

    Trump's sexual abuse verdict

    Apparently, Trump was not found to be guilty of rape, but of having said aloud that he didn't do it to the lady; and his denial of there ever having been such an incident was determined to be "defamation" deserving of a $5,000,000.00 fine. She also has claimed that Les Moonves, the CEO of CBS...

    The tallest building

    I suppose that it actually WAS still the Sears Tower when you were there????? That would be my experience, too. However, I've also visited the CN Tower in Toronto, which is taller, so that would have to be my answer to your question.

    How patriotic are you?

    "Unpopulated." Yes, farmland that is essential for human life is "unpopulated." So is every factory, rail yard, highway, airport, woodlot, business district, and pasture. No need for housing, of course, in your dream of the future, because that takes up space on which humans could...

    How patriotic are you?

    If you think that it would be possible for anyone to exist and function on a space that's smaller than a coffee table, that is.

    Is The Little Mermaid demonic?

    "Those were only for the early days of the church, Calvin said.” Calvin was right about that much. ;) The extremists of the Reformation era were denounced by all the other Protestant groups because they amounted to what we'd today identify as cults. Most of today's charismatics would be...

    Is The Little Mermaid demonic?

    Your mind is made up, I see. But the thing that occurs to me as I read these posts that seems the most peculiar is that you take inspiration from the miracles or tongues-speaking that the early Christians were known for, but at the same time you feel no reluctance to boycott (because it's...
