  1. As an Android developer, I exclusively use Android. Android offers a wide range of features, and when I use my kids' iPhones, I often feel limited because it lacks many fundamental features present in the core of Android. I won't even begin to get into the GUI and the fact that iPhones don't adhere to universal standards.?
  2. cute I think I'm doing this grandparent thing wrong. You have yours listen to preaching and mine...well I'm giving him rides on my vacuum. https://photos.app.goo.gl/7tBfjW2jTm77qbT76
  3. This song keeps popping up on my social media feed, and those who know me are aware that I'm not against the creation of new songs. Nevertheless, I find it puzzling why this song, like many new ones, doesn't even mention the word "God." Many songs leave it up to the listener to interpret the "he" and "me" as whoever they want it to be. This song will not be sung in my church. ? - RANT OVER When the worry's likes a whirlwind And I just keep spinning round & round I feel like such a mess And I'm craving something quiet Is there a place that I can go to close my eyes And just forget That I'm not okay Cause I'm not okay But even as I wait I can hear you say Come and rest Come and rest Come and rest in peace Take a breath Take a step Take it easy Let the weight Leave your chest Let it fall on me Come and rest in peace When I'm crushed beneath my conscience And my soul is underground & now my lungs can barely breathe Help me realign my focus Till every facet of your heart appears in perfect clarity That's the only way That I'll be okay And even as I wait I can hear you say Come and rest Come and rest Come and rest in peace Take a breath Take a step Take it easy Let the weight Leave your chest Let it fall on me Come and rest in peace Come away, come away Come away, come away With me Rest in peace There's a place, there's a place You can stay, you can stay With me Rest in peace Come away, come away Come away, come away With me Rest in peace There's a place, there's a place You can stay, you can stay With me Rest in peace Come and rest Come and rest Come and rest in peace Take a breath Take a step Take it easy Let the weight Leave your chest Let it fall on me Come and Rest In Peace
  4. Yes it does. Make sure you report the content first then ignore the user.
  5. I want to share some changes we've made to our software to keep our community safe. It's all about reporting content that might have nudity or explicit stuff in it. Here's the deal: If you come across anything that contains nudity, you can now report it as nudity. When only one member does that, the software will automatically hide that content from public view. Our Mods will then take the necessary steps for banning . This change is all about making sure our Online Baptist family-friendly and faith-centered environment stays that way. We really appreciate your help in keeping our site clean and suitable for everyone. Thanks for being a part of Online Baptist and helping us make it a place where we can all grow in our faith. If you have any questions or concerns about this update or anything else on our platform, feel free to let me know. Thank you to everyone who reported the latest member. This new tweek will remove the content even faster now. God Bless. It's sad that we even have to have this conversation. ?
  6. That is correct: Salvation is all about believing in Jesus Christ. When an individual genuinely believes something, it prompts a change. If repentance occurs at the moment of belief, then it's not a prerequisite for salvation.
  7. BTW, the Bible verse is just a placeholder while they send me the verse they want to use. ?
  8. 3 John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. This verse really hits home, as I often think about my failures as a father. One of my daughters and SIL will be starting deputation soon as they will be heading to Spain in a couple of years. This evening I'm finalizing their prayer cards before I send them out to print.
  9. I've talked to many people from many denominations that all have dealt with the same thing in their denomination. It comes down to people and their experience in previous churches. Thankfully you didn't throw out Biblical values because of the bad apples.
  10. Anyone watching the GOP debate? https://www.foxnews.com/video/5614615980001
  11. The Bible does not explicitly state whether vaccines are a sin or not. Therefore, each individual must decide what is best for their family. A pastor should not try to play the role of the Holy Spirit and tell their congregation whether or not vaccines are a sin. Instead, they should encourage their congregation to pray and seek guidance from God on this matter. @Sabrina Welcome to OB.
  12. That's fine if someone is praying, they're not praying to me so I'll continue fellowshipping with other believers. I honestly believe that fellowship is one of the key components to a healthy church. Noise is party of fellowship.
  13. lol, I just turned 50 last week ? Unlike God, I am bound by time
  14. Hey, my friend, there's no need to use that kind of language. Remember, this is a Christian, family-friendly forum, and we don't allow cursing here. That may be true, then your vocabulary should be reflective of your age. ? I'm not sure if you're having a bad day or not, but I wasn't complaining. I was simply pointing out that there's no need to resort to name-calling when expressing disagreement. There's a clear distinction between passing judgment and evaluating doctrine through the Word of God. We'd appreciate a dialogue with you without encountering insults, profanity, or derogatory terms.
  15. You are correct, trees are bound by space and time, but the creator of the trees is not. God clearly created trees with seeds in them according to their kinds. So yeah, He could create something of age, just like He did with Adam and Eve. I mean, who would have changed their diapers? It's clearly in the Scripture and not an opinion. Gen 1: 9 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
  16. @Muckah Instead of going off topic on this thread, please start new discussions. Thank you.
  17. I understand you might be feeling frustrated with the discussions here, but let's remember that we all come from different backgrounds and have unique viewpoints. Instead of calling people "losers", how about we try to share our thoughts openly? It's hard to take people seriously when they resort to boosting themselves up by putting others down and labeling them as losers.
  18. I'm constantly browsing church websites for inspiration and to observe current website trends. (It's part of my job). Today, I came across a website with the caption, "We Grow People." My brain must have been in its comedic mode because I took it to heart, picturing a garden of human heads sprouting like enthusiastic sunflowers. ?
  19. I seem to miss a part of the video where he's responsible for January 6th, can you point it out to me? The only thing I see in the video is him saying how horrible the attack was on America.
  20. If Trump wins the GOP nomination and goes up against Biden, then yes, I'll vote for him
