    Female deacons

    It'll be interesting to watch how this plays out. An example is the edict, even during Shakespeare's time, that actors were all men. I don't know if this stemmed from the same view of scripture, or was simply a patriarchal viewpoint. But one also has to ask the question: In a letter full of...

    Apple / FBI Legal Battle

    For those that are talking about cracking the encryption -- it's not as simple as it seems. Yes, the passcode acts as the encryption key; but is the passcode 4 digits? 6 digits? Numbers only, or a mix of numbers and letters? And since we're talking 256-bit AES encryption (the same standard that...

    Apple / FBI Legal Battle

    And if Apple does so, then the ROM code they do it with becomes a target. And it won't be "this phone only." It'll be "this phone only...until the next time something happens, and we need you to do it again."

    My mistake; you told him to go chase a rabbit. For not agreeing with a man's writings.

    Female deacons

    Deacons--agreed. We should ALL be servants. But how do most of our churches today define deacon? I submit that today, deacons are viewed as leaders of the church. So that distinction must be reconciled before any meaningful agreement can occur regarding whether women can be deacons in the church...

    Female deacons

    Then when someone says they disagree with his writings and think he's "sloppy," why would you get so mad that you want to place that person on ignore? Or accuse them of disagreeing with scripture, when they said they disagreed with his interpretation of scripture?

    I'n saying YOUR reaction and response places Mac in a category of "hero worship." Has nothing to do with Mac or scripture. If someone disagrees with scripture, then your response was valid. Just because someone disagrees with another man's viewpoints on scripture is NO reason to react the...

    Apple / FBI Legal Battle

    No, it's not. And the amount of viruses/malicious software targeting Apple is increasing each year. What Apple enacted with iOS 8 was encryption. Once you use a passcode on your iPhone (i.e., your lockscreen code), your data is now encrypted based on that personal passcode. Before iOS 8, Apple...

    Female deacons

    Evan - it's posts like this that cause people to accuse you of placing higher value on books and authors than scripture. See 1 Cor 2:5.

    Apple / FBI Legal Battle

    Anyone following this? There's a LOT of bad information being put out; and so far, NONE of the candidates' comments indicate they actually understand the issue. In a nutshell, Apple is being asked to create "back doors" in Apple phones, so that the FBI and other agencies can bypass encrypted...

    Demonic Rattlesnake?

    Um...how do we know this happens in Africa?

    Female deacons

    Nope. Kinda saying it depends on how you're defining "deacon."

    Copy these Youtube links before they are gone.

    Donut shops all over the place. Owned by locals. Donut shops with free wireless? Gotta travel at least 30-45 minutes to get to a town that has that kind of perk. Shucks, even the town 20 minutes from me has cable--but apparently those that have it complain about it being slightly better than...

    Female deacons

    (yes, I took Evan off ignore about a week ago) Seems to me, the question is how you're defining/treating the office of deacon. Most translations use "deacons." Darby rendered it "ministers." The Contemporary English Version renders it "church officers." Another version says "men called to be...

    Copy these Youtube links before they are gone.

    I believe you misunderstood: I said "rural." We don't have cafes, unless I want to spend the gas and time to drive to a place that does. Glad your satellite internet works. Seems like I hit my data cap 10 days into the cycle each month. Then I get throttled.

    Copy these Youtube links before they are gone.

    The problem is, you presume that we can watch YouTube. As I've mentioned to Poncho several times, I live in a rural area, and thus relegated to satellite internet. Due to data caps and low speeds, I cannot watch YouTube videos. If it's important enough to make a video, then it's important...

    How will you vote if the election comes down to:

    If those are the only two choices - I'm staying home. I'll be looking over the independent candidates this election.

    Christ Died on what day?

    Does determining *exactly* which day He died strengthen or weaken the main point (being Christ's resurrection) in any way?

    Trump in the last debate

    FollowTheWay said: ↑ Why did Air Force 1 take off without fighter escort? Um...it didn't. For example, someone might watch this take-off, and ask the same question: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHEvp4aTJV4 And the answer would be: Fighter escort was already in the air, waiting for AF1 to take-off...
