    Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

    Some guy with the screen name "Omar Najra Galvz" posted on X the before the shooting, "Something big will happen." https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/something-big-will-happen-alleged-x-post-before-charlie-kirk-utah-university-uvu-shooting-surfaces-101757541163939.html He will no...

    Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

    All that could be true, I'm sure. What still puzzles me is where the bullet hit, which right now they are saying was the neck, so his carotid bled out. If the guy was a trained sniper it would have been a head shot at that short distance--in fact it would have been from farther away. Still could...

    Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

    Yeah, that had to be how it happened. Apparently the guy was on a roof. Maybe he was copying the guy who tried to kill Trump. I'm betting the guy was trained in riflery. They are saying it was a 100 yard shot, so that's nothing for a trained sniper, but for the guy with average training it is...

    Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

    He had a small one, but to stop that kind of assassination would have taken 100. Even the Secret Service missed the attempt on Trump, and they had the police as well as the SS.

    President Trump says that Charlie Kirk is dead: Live updates: Trump says Charlie Kirk is dead after being shot at Utah university event May the Lord comfort his wife and children and other loved ones and friends.

    NFL... The Calvinist View

    "Hideously false"??? Yep, it has started. This kind of statement is exactly why I have never posted on this particular forum. You won't answer what I wrote, but prefer to make attacks. My best friend for 50 years is a 5 point Calvinist, but he is gracious and kind, and we truly love each other...

    NFL... The Calvinist View

    That Psalm is God talking to the wicked, rebellious people of Israel. I hardly think it applies here--unless you think I'm wicked and rebellious. :( If I get your drift, you think that God cannot "want" anything or "not want" anything. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But if that is your view...

    I can't follow the writing process.

    Thank you. Thanks again. I'm not sure what this is all about, but thanks for writing it. I am aged 73, a published author (4 published), currently working on the children's novel my publisher asked me to write, the first of a series. It's the back story of the boy who gave his lunch to Jesus...

    NFL... The Calvinist View

    I don't ever enter these CAL/ARM discussions, but I have to tell my story. In college I was playing Rook with a Presbyterian roommate, and he said, "God predestined and foreordained each card we are playing." I replied, "What if He doesn't want to?" He became silent, and never answered.

    I can't follow the writing process.

    Amen! I've passed out hundreds of those in English and Japanese both!

    I can't follow the writing process.

    Advice received from a professional writer to a young man I knew who wanted to write: Write everything you want to until you are 30. Then throw it all away and start writing for publication. (Actually, this was from my famous author grandfather to me. ;) He had over 100 books and pamphlets...

    Should Christians practice things like deep-breathing and body-scan meditation?

    Do you mean "CAT Scan" (also CT Scan) possibly? That would be a medical test, referring to "Computed Tomography (CT) Scan. It can take a long time, and you have to lie still for all that time, so when I have to have that I practice abdominal breathing, and meditate on the Word or something I...

    Is there a standard Systematic Theology for IBF churches then?

    In the first place, your title is wrong. Churches don't use systematic theologies usually. Perhaps you mean schools. In that case you would have to mean seminaries, since colleges don't usually have systematic theology courses, though I have heard of it. If a Bible college does have a course in...

    I Convinced Grok the Biblical Flood Really Happened (Using Science)

    I listened. Very interesting not only in the approach, but in how AI has developed.

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

    This threads about to be closed, and no one has yet answered my post #89 about a linguistic view of evolution. Another point I have not made yet is that evolution does not glorify God. It starts secular with a lost man, it continues secular, its advocates mock creationists, atheists cling to...

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

    So a YEC'er was not nice to you. So you then categorize all YEC'ers as cultists. Yeah, that's real Christian.

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

    I don't mean to be offensive, but that is the most ridiculous view of creationism I've ever heard of. No one believes the idea that God created fossils on the mountains just for YEC. I read The Genesis Flood by Whitcomb and Morris 55 years ago for a geology class in college, and the flood fully...

    Should Christians practice things like deep-breathing and body-scan meditation?

    As long as there is not a connection to Hinduism I see no problem. Yoga, for example, is a form of Hindu worship, so I would avoid that. There are plenty of exercise or meditation methods that have no connection to heathen religions, so yoga is actually unnecessary for a Christian. If you want...

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

    If someone wants to learn more about this linguistic approach to creation and DNA, I'm not the first to think of it. Here is a great article: Does DNA’s language point to a creator?
