I didn't see the "Hobby" forum listed anymore so I'm posting here. I needed a hydraulic press to install the bearings in the CNC foam cutter project I'm working on. I could have taken them to a machine shop and paid to have them installed but Harbor Freight had the presses on sale and it was an excuse to buy a new toy. Unfortunately, while browsing YouTube to learn how to use the thing, I found folks were using them to make rings out of silver coins and I needed about three more tools to do it. I had to try it. The first attempt was a 1959 silver quarter which I ruined. The second is this 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar. It's a little bulky and I may have curved the surface a…

p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; } God is an amazing God. The amount of detail and care He placed into the creatures He created is just astounding. Each and every one of the billions of insects in the world is perfectly suited for the life it leads. Their coloring, their food of choice, their life cycle, their natural defenses... everything about them is designed perfectly. God put all this detail into the tiniest of creatures most of us don't think twice about. I think dragonflies are amazing, they're my favorite insect. Their metamorphosis from a life perfectly suited for living underwater to a life as a true master of flight in the air is just a miracle. On…

What a week we've had. On Monday night, June 30, (my wife's birthday), I was woken up about midnight to her going in to use the restroom. Half-asleep, I watched as she walked unsteadily, stopped at the door to the hall, and fall face first to the ground. I jumped up and called to her, with no response. I lifted her partway and she said calmly, "I chipped a tooth, and I have to poop." (she actually lost the entire front tooth, which is good because its a clean loss, not broken). I helped her up and tried to get her to the bathroom, but she couldn't walk at all, she was totally limp, so I brought her back to the bed, laid some pads under her and told her to do what she ne…

R.L. Dabney on Northern conservatives in 1870: "And last: the State has committed the crowning outrage and inconsistency of not letting her be a man because God made her a woman! What an outrage this to be committed on so frivolous a pretext! ... Has not the Radical version of the political gospel said, "All men are by nature mechanically equal?" And "man", Mistress Amazona ( as you will know when you acquire the virile right of learning Latin ) here means, not vir, but homo; the species irrespective of sex. It means that a woman has a natural right to do all the particular things that a man does ( if she can ), to sit on juries and shave her beard, to serve in the army a…

Independence Day...but how many Americans even know what that's all about and what it means? Has anyone seen some of the videos of Americans being asked questions regarding Independence Day in America and they have no clue what it's about? So many don't even know who America gained independence from, can't name even one signer of the Declaration of Independence, don't know when this occurred, don't seem to know much of anything other than the 4th of July is called Independence Day and they get to celebrate...but they don't know what they are celebrating! These videos show that it's not just people around here who have no clue about history, their own country, holidays or …

I just watched it and it was an excellent documentary of the foundations of America and what we lack in this nation today. I highly recommend this to Christians; men, women, and children should view it together as families.

Are contemporary songs and music welcome in your church? Most of the Independent Baptist Churches sing using hymnals only? One more question, is it a sin to aloud any type of music into the church? These questions will help me and others, thank you.

Have been doing a study of the minor prophets the last week or so, and it strikes me that, though no other nation on earth ever enjoyed the favor of being the Chosen of God, America has been a prime example of what a nation of mostly Believers can accomplish. Which means it is also a prime example of what can happen to a nation that rejects God in favor of the world. Though the prophets were speaking directly to Israel and Judah, their warnings to wicked, godless nations carries through the ages. Knowledge of God decreasing steadily by the generation? Rejection of God to worship the baalim? Attacks on and mockery of the righteous? Decadence and entertainment attained at t…

Delusion: an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder. A delusion is a belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary. I will pick out to site the topic: Atheists and delusion. The phrase in the definition sited above. "A delusion is a belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary" Superior evidence need I say more. Israel all of the geographic data in the Bible. The existence of all the peoples listed in the Bible. The archaeological evidence for all t…

At the weekend we visited a relative who is planning to train for ministry in his Baptist Church. It is a very liberal church with a woman minister, and is part of the ecumenical movement. He doesn't agree with either, they live in a very small village and cannot afford to travel out of the village and the only alternative is the C of E. which is even worse. They sometimes have to rely on food banks and from time to time I have sent hem a gift to help with their food bill. Not a great amount as we are on a fairly small pension. He does listen to me and I recently warned him that some links he put on his face book page were unscriptural. He thanked me for the advice a…

2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV) 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:15 (KJV) 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 2 Corinthians 6:16 (KJV) 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 2 Corinthians 6:17 (KJV) 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]…

Not long ago I found an IBC online that was near my home which I wrote about it here before. I went to their church a few times and it was amazing. However it wasn't amazing enough to pull me out of my Mormon faith. It's easy for people to say just leave the church because it's complicated. It's hard because you are so tightly tied in to everything with the church. If you leave it's like you've lost your entire family. I suppose no one hear would completely understand and that's OK. So they a anniversary celebration recently and he kept reaching out asking if I would commit to coming. I really did want to go but my I didn't. I have chronic physical pain and I didn't go. N…

What's going on? We see some souls saved here, some saved there, that's wonderful!....but why nothing near like what happened in the Walsh Revival or the Great Awakening? When is the last time a community was turned upside down because of the increase of holiness pushing out ungodliness from it's positions of control? When have the bars been shut down and the jails emptied due to people getting right with God and having more influence in their community than the devil has? I attend a great soul-winning church almost overflowing with brothers and sisters who love the Lord and serve Him wholeheartedly, with a great pastor and many wonderful testimonies of believers wh…

I'm not looking for a debate on the matter, I'm looking for some information. I recently read that about 70% of churches teach a Replacement Theology; that God has replaced Israel with the church and thus Israel is irrelevant to an extent since all the promises to Israel now belong to the church (believers, body of Christ, whatever term a person prefers...don't need a debate on that either). Anyway, I'm hoping folks here can tell me, or list the various churches and/or denominations which hold to Replacement Theology. Also, is it true that about 70% of churches teach this? Would that be just in America, mostly in America, worldwide? I've never heard such taught or preache…

My Church played this during our morning service and I was shocked that I've never heard or seen this before (I consider myself a reasonably knowledgeable sports fan). It's sad but now I look at July 4th as a celebration of what our country USED to be, not what it is now.

Here in Australia I don't know of one pastor who uses the term "Reverend", either for himself or for a visiting Pastor or evangelist, yet a few guys I know, when they have been to the US have been called "Reverend" when they have preached at IFB churches over there. Personally, aside from not being a Biblical term, I find it a little offensive to the Lord, as He is the one due reverence, not His servants. Any thoughts? Is this common over there?

Because you once again show a total lack of respect to Alan in attempting to pollute his thread, I will answer this in a new thread. I care not that you have reported me for 0ets9nal attacks - i have somply exposed you as a false teacher. As to lack of respect, I make no show of false respect for you but show the lack of respect you deserve as a false teacher. In my opinion you are here for the express purpose of converting people away from the truth and onto your false doctrines and false gospel. This is constantly displayed by your refusal to participate properly in the debate, not answering the questions put firth but avoiding them and answering things not even asked…

Hi., ho, all! Just a request for prayer. We have, currently, three vehicles down for repairs. My F150, my staple farm truck, just went down with transmission issues, my Ford Ranger still won't run, (given to me after sitting for eight years), and we have a Jeep being worked on, hopefully with everything bought and mostly done, as far as we know, but with my wife going one way to work and me going the other, it makes life difficult. I also am way overdue for a trip to the auction and my goats are eating me out of house and home, but our Tempo won't haul the trailer. So finally got my tax return and have money, but repairs are going slow. So if you might spare us a moment, …

America might think about doing something about our problem. Maybe we would not have to import so many people from all over the world if our people had children once again. http://russia-insider.com/en/society/putin-presents-medals-parents-seven-or-more-children/ri7676

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Also, there is no soul sleep in the Bible. Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. The dead do not know what is happening on the earth after they are removed from it. It is not that they have no knowledge (or thoughts) whatsoever, but that they cannot or do not know what happens after they pass away - they have no knowledge of what is happening “under the sun” once they have gone to either the eternal home of the righteous or the unrighteous. Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. -

Here is what you said and I replied to.... The Bible mentioned if any man add or subtract to the Word of God? I know they’re not changing the Words, but they are adding to the Bible, man-made rules and songs, to it. With your criteria, Paul's Journey is no different than political addiction as they are both placed by men. You said "Adding to the Bible" as being the problem, not political motivation. -

I’m a very busy person helping my wife around the house, I cook sometimes, I clean the dishes plus put them away. I help with the laundry, and dry plus fold the clothes. I wash my wife’s car and pass vacuum inside, Shine wheels. It’s hard work sometimes, if I was only a pastor, I wouldn’t have to do all these things. 🤣 -

Revelation 14:10-11: "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." Revelation 20:15: "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 21:8: "And the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
