DeSantis seems certain to run, especially after the way Florida voted on Tuesday. Pence is just wasting his time if he thinks he has so much as an outside chance. He might have a future in Indiana politics, but that's about all.
I say that of "Sweet Home Alabama" and a couple of others.
I wonder what accounts for this. Are these films scheduled all the time because there is a demand? That's not likely. Are they, for some reason, cheap to rent?
It wouldn't be that these were terrible films and lost money at the box...
This is a tricky issue. Trump is controversial and flamboyant. BUT much that has come to be associated with Trump was manufactured by the Democrats, and no one should think that if DeSantis or anyone else is the nominee in 2024 the same thing won't be directed at that person in much the same...
Of course, but no one is saying that looking at porn is Godly or similar to belonging to a denominational church. Therefore, the example didn't do anything to show that joining with other Christians in worship is wrong or that holding oneself aloof from the fellowship of other Christians is...
You're desperate for a retort, I see, but Christians viewing porn has nothing to do with this discussion.
Yeah, we all do that. Some of us don't boast about it as though we're special, however.
But I think our brother is denouncing denominations without being willing to belong to any church himself, whether denominational or non-denominational. Isn't that correct?
I think you are quite wrong about this. From almost the start of the Christian era, cooperation and oversight were a part of the life of the congregations in city after city. As we see from the NT, Paul (whom you have cited in a number of your own posts) wrote to and traveled between...
I was dubious about that "red wave" stuff when it took off. The polls weren't showing anything like that, even though some of the races in which the Republican had been trailing had narrowed, according to the polls. But yes, it's right to say that the Republican showing this year was unlike...
Certainly. And I already indicated that I'm opposed to permitting unnecessary pain when it comes to processing animals for food and perhaps some other important uses.
No. That's why I used the word reliability.
The Bible has been called the most challenged or criticized (or something like that) book in the world. And that's probably not an exaggeration. Time and again, throughout history, some group or scholar has announced that he's discovered a fatal error...
Because humans in general believe in some higher power. That being the case, there are beliefs held by some that are correct, and other beliefs that are mistaken.
It's a matter of the reliability of the Bible.
See the reply that was just prior to this one.
I only scratched the surface of the reasons why your imaginary world would not work.
If you didn't read all of my previous post, possibly because I was still writing, please take a look.
Why, on the "Christian Theology" forum, should we appeal to reason instead of God?
What's more, you included God when you framed your question to us in the first place: ("That's what I am asking: how do you reconcile the claim that God is omnibenevolent with the commandments given by God to...
What is your opinion on the 1st resurrection and the thousand year reign of Christ?
Answer: They're going to happen, and the Bible explains that in order to be complete in its explanation of God's eternal plan for Mankind. But you and I are not asked to do anything in particular simply because...
I am confident that no matter how simple and straightforward any such written guide might be, it is still eligible for being misinterpreted by some readers.
According to Scripture, the bounty of the Earth was created for Man's use. It was fishermen whom Jesus called to be his closest associates, if you recall, and He even helped them to haul in their catch. So, there isn't any doubt about animals being made available to us as a food source and for...
That's right.
Well, that's what the term refers to.
It may be confusing to some people, but so is most of the terminology used by theologians, if you think about it. The fact is that we ordinary folks just have to learn what is meant by each of them, just as we learn what the confusing...
That doesn't really address my point, however, which was that it does matter how things go in the here and now, and that believing, correctly, that the next life is more important or that all of the world's kingdoms will come to an end someday does not mean that Christians ought to sit on their...
