Alright, but is your stand the same on the "Union" and their song, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" ["...as He died to make men holy let us live to make men free....our God is marching on...."]? And of the civil rights movement with churches serving as bases, pastors as leaders, prayers on...

Why are they different words? Why does taking an "affirmation" under law subject one to penalty of perjury? If called as a witness in court, does the clerk ask "Are you gonna tell the truth?" and you can say 'yeah' or 'nope?' And if you add a word such as "solemnly," that would be something...

I make an attempt to keep a positive attitude toward law enforcement personnel, but frankly sometimes they don't make it that easy. I was up earlier than usual this morning and went to the local Braum's for coffee and reading the newspaper they always have available. On the way I made a few...

Then your answer is True, God cannot save a person without that person's permission. Correct?

I think the chances are good that I know more about JA than anyone who posts here, and definitely more about Gunsmoke. My main 'official' reference, though I haven't consulted it in years, is Gunsmoke: A Complete History by Suzanne and Gabor Barabas, casually known as "Big Red" by serious fans...

Something about that guy makes me think of Linus and the Great Pumpkin.

If this world ends tomorrow there would be such great sorrow Among those who cling to this life. But that guy is a gypster; he don't know his scripture. ...No trumpet-- not even a fife!

Why is Newt running So his eyes won't end up in a caldron? [Shakespeare fans will get that one.]

They're primitive pianos.

If the position went from 'spiritual gifts have ceased' to 'we are open to the idea of spiritual gifts' (as I understand the question), that would not affect me at all, as that is close to my own position. I only see abilities, of which there is no evidence of spiritual endowment, and no...

You would affirm? Matthew 5:37-- "But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil.

Glad to have you. I don't know how much you've looked at here already, but just be prepared for conflict. In fact, as I saw the title of your thread, "First Day," I immediately thought this would have something to do with Sunday/a sabbath argument. That's how you can get trained to think on here.

Oh, stowe the idea. The atmosphere where warm Gulf air meets cool arctic air [the South and Great Plain] does the twist every now and then.

I don't think we have a definite schedule, per se, but I would estimate it occurs about every 5-6 weeks. Usually it is passed out, like the offering plates, by the deacons, but occasionally it is set up at the front [altar?] and the congregation comes and gets it. In fact, we did that 6?-7...

If we Are NOT Born Spiritual dead, than Why would the Holy Spirit Convict us of Sin? But if we ARE... what good does it do to convict a dead man?

VERY IMPORTANT if true I can think of whole lot of things that are important if true. But most of them ain't.

If it would make that day come quicker, I would. But it won't. Yet if it would... I would feast and feast fast. Between feasts, I would fast till I feast. But since the feast won't bring on the big fest by feasting fast, I'll just pound my fist and fast first till it's time to feast.

No, since they're no longer here to love. Anything that may breathe life into that word outside of our current incidental experience would be opposed to the biblical meaning of 'love,' which necessarily results in action-- which I cannot and am not capable of in regard to them.

Are you sure about "No, really..."? It seems he must have set some figure there-- 90%, 95%, 98%..?-- of those who would have to burn forever just so the much smaller percentile would turn to him. IOW the odds are highly not in favor of any person giving him glory, so the smidgeon that do get...

I couldn't ask anything more, but I didn't start this thread with the question that was put.
