1Timothy115

Thanks! I thank Jesus I'm saved by grace! The 3rd video has been removed, it said by youtube. However, the text remains and this is very concerning for those I know are lost without the Lord.

I know Russia is highly adverse to homosexuality. "While it's not against the law to be in a gay relationship in Russia, same sex marriages are illegal. LGBT rights groups say homophobic attacks have rocketed since president Vladimir Putin approved the controversial law outlawing the promotion of a gay lifestyle to minors in 2013." With the world, including our own "president" fawning over the homosexuals (and promoting) and the rest of the sodomizing off shoots; I wonder about the world's expressed sympathy for Ukraine. So, NATO nations being the primary infection hot spots doesn't surprise me. I suppose I should avoid any theory at this point but, the Bible is clear about not only the offender of this blatant sin but those who would support it being guilty of the same (cf. Romans 1:32). It could follow that there are a great many in NATO leadership positions who are guilty. As for the children who have contacted this dreadful disease, I would have to research their demographics to see why they would be contracting a disease spread primarily by sexual contact. Now, if we suddenly begin to see "leaders" contracting this disease it will serve as unproven but possible evidence of loose sexual conduct.

So, I've asked you both politely to stop before. I'm not a mod or admin, just an observer. You don't have to be SBC to read convention literature. That's all I'm going to say on the matter...I'm done, and I hope you two are done. Personal notes between the two of you.

So, member churches of the SBC are not independent? OK, I get it. However, I believe this discussion needs to be elsewhere.

1. I wouldn't use NPR or administrators of the DOJ (both secular entities) as a measure for what is happening within the Christian religion. They appear out to attack Christianity and diminish Christ's authority in the U.S. and around the world. 2. Just my thought that both you (TGL) and (BT) are doing harm to faith in Jesus Christ by constantly attacking one another's denominations. 3. I'm not attempting to justify any of the INDIVIDUAL leaders within any denomination who practice or were involved in sexual sins. Know this, all Christians need to "know your sins will find you out" and "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." We could all use some time reading 1 John 3 & 4. 1 John 4:11 "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."

We had four this month and I think we had three last month. We had one saved this month, but he is not asking to be baptized yet. I would guess the reason he is dressed in black is because that is what he had to wear at the time.

God uses who He chooses to complete the task (His will). Abram, Moses, Saul, David, Nebuchadnezzar, examine their lives and you'll find they were imperfect too. James must have demonstrated a characteristic which God decided would fit His purpose. It worked! we have the preserved Word of God for English speaking people.

I don't know that to be a sure thing, Jerry. That brings a nice picture of completeness to mind. I'll know better when all the Greek is digested or, if it is always present, when I get there. I had never seen a circular rainbow before. You'll give me a little liberty on my rainbow, I hope?

It was only a contrast not a coronation. If the initial description was activity and responsibility toward God and not toward men, then I still think its possible,

Did Adam Have A Priestly Position? Reading 'Searching for ADAM, Terry Mortenson, Editor He contrasts the verbs of Genesis 2:15 with the verbs in Numbers 3:7-10. Adams job description with that of the Levitical Priesthood. I thought the possibility intriguing enough to garner thoughts from others. Adam the first created priest! Personally, having yet to compare other scripture, I will be looking further.

I know that we do not have the ability to look inside the soul of anyone, only our Lord can do this. However, there are those who can give a false statement when faced with Christ as Lord and Savior. These folks, who insincerely profess are described by Christ in the four gospels several times. If their receiving of Christ's gift of salvation was sincere on their part, they will not suffer the great tribulation. There is some concern over what their meeting with Christ might be like, that is, rewards for faithfulness but, they will be saved none the less.

Too late...The Lord of Glory has claim to this one now.

My weakness...

Putin is like the rest of the power craving 'elite', he wants a seat at the table of the great reset. Sadly, a nation I love is aligning itself for a seat too.

More evidence of Satan attempting to bring in a "little leaven".

I use 'Edit' from the drop down after clicking the three dots in the upper right corner. One thing I would like to see again is individual's ability to freeze further comment on their own thread. Kind of a self-moderating ability when things begin to drift off course or dive into an argument.

State probes evangelical university for refusing to hire gay faculty, staff.

All this considered, we need to be careful to remember God's grace we are not overcome in our own local church. Selling out is very accurate.

However, 'argument' is the use of words to support or defend a position in debate, as in "The speaker put forth too convincing of an argument to refute. Therefore, the opposing point of view of a homosexual gene was rejected.

Sadly true, my sister attends a Methodist Church.

God will set the abusers right concerning the meaning of the flood rainbow. I've decided to look toward another.

I haven't stopped praying for you both since the earlier fall. My mother fell and broke the same bone, same arm, she was in her mid 80s. So, praise God Vivian isn't there yet.

I've heard it said, the results of a world-wide flood of this magnitude and duration may still be felt today.

"I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley," Songs 6:11 It reminds me of the joke about California. "The only thing that comes from California are fruits and nuts." Couldn't help the latter...old Navy humor. ?
