We used border patrol agents, reception and processing centers, even courts in order to screen prospective immigrants. At least until the Biden administration, that is. And it worked.
If the government of the Netherlands is loose concerning its borders, that probably does invite illegal...
Isn't there a difference between accepting immigrants and allowing an "invasion"--which is to say an uncontrolled surge of unknown persons in unlimited numbers, including both genuine refugees and criminals or opportunists?
While there are numerous Bible references about being charitable...
From all that I know, what you said there is accurate.
Not that there aren't some Lutherans who do involve themselves in that fight, and it would be a amazing if it were possible to show that there is not a single Lutheran who has taken it up, but on the whole and as a denomination, no...
Hi, Messy. The source that provided a lot of that information in post #28 has long been rated as Left-wing almost universally, so it's not entirely surprising that what the outfit reported here on the alleged attitudes of American Christians seemed so incorrect. For a better understanding of...
There might be an edition that includes the Talmud in addition to the inspired word of God if more Jewish history and sheer volume are what's wanted. Including the books of the Apocrypha accomplishes the same thing.
Two non-polarizing figures who could win the election, that is. All of a sudden, a routine procedure--the presidential primaries and nominating conventions--are seen by the bosses of both parties as dangers to be minimized.
The Biden people didn't even trust their guy enough to read a script...
Well, yes, you can. However, that's where we were left by the first several posts in this thread. It seems almost inevitable that we ask about some alternative.
Possibly, but I would suggest that while both are unappealing to very many Americans, the shortcomings of the two are not identical...
God is often said to be Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. Sometimes, Omnibenevolent as well. All are supported by Scripture, BUT...
Omnibenevolence does not mean "always agreeable," always and ever yielding. You understand this, but many do not. For God to be Omnibenevolent, he must want...
That's why I suggested, a few posts back, that it will be a leader of a new movement that, like the leader himself, is seen as NOT being a new or competing religion. That will be the case even though it actually amounts to the same thing (a religion) and rejects all the existing world...
It's a shame, IMHO, that you cannot have the tulip, especially because people actually think of tulips when Holland is mentioned. They don't make such a connection in the case of any other European nation that I can think of.
And I don't think that very many Americans could name the USA...
Hard to say if the election would become more competitive. Prior to Trump, the Republicans nominated Mitt Romney, and before him, John McCain, both of whom ran very lackluster campaigns and essentially gave up weeks before election day.
So again, the question remains, "If not Trump, then who?"
On its face, that's most likely correct. But again, who else?
When one candidate for the party nomination has something like a 25% lead over the next closest contender, and in addition has the support of many in the party who feel almost honor-bound now to stand against the unprecedented...
I'm sure many would agree with that assessment. But then, who is preferable? The Democrats' bench is essentially empty, while it's saying to the Republicans that they should NOT go with the most popular (by far) candidate or potential candidate that their party has...and the one most feared by...
Your conclusion, as stated, is in error. The words are not a guarantee. Rather, the process is being explained.
So, it looks like you missed the point completely. Who's being reconciled, and what does reconciled mean here? Those are points you should familiarize yourself with.
In this verse, the speaker is clearly referring to humanity in general having been reconciled to God. Whether or not any particular one of us finds eternal life is another matter, but none of us would have a chance if Christ had not paid the price for the Fall of our first parents.
You're...
Maybe it's this: the survey concerned American Protestants and Catholics, and that may account for the uncertainty in all of this.
Both Dutch Protestants and Dutch Catholics are considered to be very liberal these days, much moreso than their American counterparts. Then too, you were focusing...
