    I come and read on occasion, but unless there is something I think is worth my time I don't post. And certainly there is no point replying to false teachers with attitude, which is the majority of false teachers who come here.... They don't really come for discussion or to learn, but to push their books and/or their agenda. That was proven to me again with my last post. The other main option seems to be baiting....... This probably makes about 5 posts in the last two years...... and two in the last month or so.... I'm on a roll.

  2. My son was separated from the Coast Guard after 11 years of service, because he refused to take the jab. Here is his poem. The Sea I’ll miss your sounds, your salty breeze, Your unforgiving ways. Your soothing calm, your angry tease, Your glorious crashing waves. It’s been bittersweet my gorgeous mistress, Though often unforgiving. I’ve seen your rage, embraced your kiss, I offer my humble thanksgiving. You have my blood, my sweat, and my tears, Still I’ll offer one last treasure. Calloused my hands, helped conquer my fears, Now my boots are yours forever. Your soothing rock, through trough and crest, Have been my sweet lullaby. I’ll miss you my love, I must confess, My final teary-eyed goodbye. We’ve had our fun but it seems it’s time, I must leave your side. It’s been my joy, though a taxing grind, Thanks for one last ride!

  3. I have a niece who was a nurse at a huge hospital. They gave the nurses 30 days notice to get the shot ? or "hit the door." She worked 29 of the 30 days and they called her and 3 others back, asking them for proof of "vaccination," or they were going to have to terminate them. One of the four caved and kept her job. My niece and the other two were put on suspension...not termination. This effectively stopped them from nursing elsewhere because they were still considered employees of the hospital. They, as of six months ago had not lifted the suspension. My niece is now working in another field for nearly twice the pay and half the hours. And not a one of her new coworkers have taken the jab.

  4. Some of my college professors said they believed it was an analogy for a meteor shower with meteors of enormous size. I'm not sure I agree, but, it sounded feasible.

  5. Reminds me of this story from Wendy Bagwell

  6. "...if you loved me..." Nothing about Jesus. This is horrid. A church service is neither the place nor the time for this kind of "rebuke." That fact that it made him "feel good" is proof that it was all about him. Not helping others. Not uplifting Christ.

  7. We like Spurgeon and Matthew Henry. Knowing their beliefs helps us not to accept any calvanistic teachings.

  8. This action was uncalled for. This man doesn't belong in ministry. These aren't the actions of a minister of the Gospel. He's NOT "holding up the banner" as he said. Either he'd be gone or I would.

  9. Very good. I like it. Good for him not taking the poison jab they were trying to require.

  10. You are right, Mike. I think Paul reconciles the idea of eternal security (Our position) with our behavior. (Our sanctification.) Colossians 3:1-7 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

  11. That's feasible as well. We don't have the specifics, only what they saw and understood it to be at that time.

  12. Maybe scientists are wrong about the size, distance and nature of "stars".

  13. If you ever get a decent answer, let me know. I have often wondered about this verse.

  14. I agree! I had to skip every time he spoke in chapel after that. I got demerits for it, but, it was well worth it! I dropped out of his class as well.

  15. Update... Well, I have my new dentures. My face is black and blue and I have a bottom plate that keeps slipping. But, that's normal for now. I'm having to learn to adjust to these new plates and how they're different from my own teeth. I have to wear the plates until May 26th before removing them. The dentist wants to do that and will check on how my gums are healing. It's been quite an experience... I'm only able to eat really soft foods and soup. That won't hurt me any, though. Please pray that I can adjust quickly to these changes and be able to get my speech back on track. I've got some recording to do pretty soon, so I will need to be in top voice and speech. Thanks in advance. BT

  16. It was a tough decision for him. He has a wife and four children to support. In his last deployment, he had to get tested weekly for covid. He was always negative. He was denied shore leave. The Coast Guard appeals people said that the jab was not only to protect him, but his shipmates. He told them that the guys above and below him in the bunk had both contracted covid despite being vaccinated, but he never did. He had the support of his captain, but the Coast Guard still denied his appeal. He has no regrets, but he misses the sea.
