    OLD fashioned preacher got a reaction from Joe Chandler in Is it time to practice gun laws here in America, like they do in Canada   
    Yes ma'am --- wish I could "like" that post about 35x

    I would say it has gotten off topic --- except --- Hno. Morales can get off topic by himself with an OP without a followup post. ?

    The most controlled "no weapons" place in the U.S. is in prison -- 129 homicides in 2018 and multiple non-fatal shankings every year.

    Not the same as in person. Care has to be taken , teaching on church discipline (and some other things) will be totally misunderstood or misconstrued by lost people watching. When we were in Mexico, it was good to be able to catch a service or two on Youtube (in English) as well as the Spanish services we were trying to understand in Iglesia Bautista Peniel.

    Metaphors mix, sounds like a catchy menu item.

    Curious as to the intent of the question.
    For example: if La Biblia de Valera 1602 is inspired and inerrant (not a statement but a hypothetical), what difference does that make if you don't speak Spanish? Also, what difference does it make if you can't get one? (You probably can't get one outside of a museum. Then, you have to ask, "Is the 1865 R-V equivalent to the V 1605, etc.)
    If there is an inspired English Bible from 1400 (not saying there is one) but you can't find a whole one - what good is that.
    Not saying the question has or doesn't have validity - just trying to ascertain the intent of the question.

    OLD fashioned preacher reacted to HappyChristian in I Have an Announcement...   
    So one day we were in Goodwill just looking around. Because of some news we had gotten just a couple days previously, when I found this book I had to get it for my hubs. 
    Yes, yes...eta for our first grandchild is April 28,2023. ??  Our daughter-in-law was having a pretty easy go of it until this past week. She's had some issues with blood pressure and blood sugar...and even fainted once. She is doing better if she eats often and takes things easy. Would appreciate prayer that God will protect her and Baby DePriest...either Asher or Hannah, depending on boy or girl...or maybe both? ?

    According to another report, one particular professor says he can't advance due to his perverted (my words, not his) choices. Since, prior to employment finalization, he had to sign a statement agreeing to their detailed statement of faith (which included a prohibition on deviant (again, my choice of wording) sexual behavior including pre-marital, extra-marital, and same-sex - he should be fired for breach of contract and see what the AG thinks of that.

    If the pastor is in error (Scripturally) the same procedure is to be followed as for any other member (he is also a member) -- go to him (with Bible and humility), if further action is needed - take a witness or two, if still unresolved - bring it before the church, if Scriptural error persists - put him out.

    Much has happened in the last two years. We were in E. TN. during the Covid crunch - rare to find a church open yet the Lord gave us a church to park at for 7 months and provided 6 new supporting churches. Nicaragua had an election which Daniel Ortega won (after arresting all his opponents for treason), he has shut down over 20 NGOs because they receive funds from the USA.
    Currently we can only get a visa for 3 months per year and the plane tickets are around $4000 per person. As a result, we are going to spend 6 months (Aug - Feb) in Mexico continuing Spanish language learning while praying Nicaragua will open up soon.
    As far as I can determine, only 2 IB missionaries are currently in country -- they both already had permanent cedulas. Even they are required to make a trip to the immigration office in Managua every 6 months for "renewal" of a 5 year visa.
    I've noticed that (unlike younger missionaries) I don't have people whining to me about how "I'd go, but I'm too old" ?

    OLD fashioned preacher got a reaction from Jim_Alaska in TGL How can I be a better person here   
    I've been around MANY people (from Mexico, C.A., Korea, Philippines) who had morphological and/or syntactical difficulties with English. His seems more an attempt to butcher (think someone "faking" Ebonics, Southern or Country lingo and getting it wrong) the language intentionally. Him being a chain jerker, it would seem in line with humoring himself at our expense -- of, all in good fun.
    For the record, I don't have a problem with it (meaning I don't mind -- not meaning it always makes sense).

    I might be wrong --- I thought I was  wrong once, but it seems that I was mistaken about that--- but I have a sneaking suspicion that in reality; TGL probably has a very good English vocabulary, good grasp of (and usage of - away from OLB) English grammar, and may have even been born and/or raised in the US.

    Naw, sometimes the things men post in the open forums are more disturbing than they want to see -- they're sure not interested in the back room.
    Although, if we reopened it, lured you back there, and locked you in -- it might make some folks happy.  ?

    OLD fashioned preacher got a reaction from HappyChristian in Prayer need AND an unabashed request for financial help   
    As an update, let me start with saying THANK YOU for the financial help (Bro Alan was a huge blessing - wish he was still around to read this) and prayers. Esther underwent several surgeries, debridement procedures, grafts, stretching exercises, and release surgeries. She has 100% range of motion (more than I have) and is playing piano. We're about to spend 5 weeks there (starting this Mon), she has another baby brother arriving.
    Again, thank you.
