I bought a few lottery tickets a number of years ago, including some scratch-offs, in which I had 2 $40 winners in a short span. Then I almost did what those little winners are meant to do-- keep on buying, with the idea that if I can win $80 I can at least equal that and maybe win much more...

No. With all that ranting and stomping in Wisconsin, those people caused a major earth quake on the opposite side of the globe.

And maybe Bigfoot was a co-conspirator.

"One day?" Ain't it too bad he can't sort it out now? And what day?

Like you. The taxes had been assessed-- they owed them. Churches in the USA have not had taxes assessed-- they don't owe them.

LOL once when I rode with 2 women to a conference, they joked about such things, and the one who had been married and divorced said when she was planning her wedding, her friends suggested songs like "Have Thine Own Way, Lord," "Make a Joyful Noise," and "Why Not Tonight?"

This one of mine won last year's county poetry society adult division contest. SOOTHING SAPPHIRE In Yellowstone Park, where millions go yearly, The attractions are many and vast. The geysers and bears are looked on so dearly That others are too quickly passed. The canyons and cliffs...

Perhaps a corollary of this approach is the deduction that everyone has one-- perhaps only one-- chance in life to accept the gospel. For the "rich young ruler" it was when he asked Jesus what he must do to have eternal life; for Saul/Paul, it was on the road to Damascus when he heard the voice...

You mean like the one that has "No turning back" 6 times?

While this is often a confujsing subject, I think many try too hard to simplify it by saying rejection of Jesus = blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. But Jesus said to those who attributed his miraculous works to Satan that blasphemy against him (Jesus) can be forgiven, but-- and there is obviously...

My most interesting ones are a few "waking dreams" when I was not fully conscious, but the OP asked not about those, but the ones as we were in that dream stage of sleep. Many have been just things that have always fascinated me-- trains (including driving down a railroad track and meeting them...

Yes or No: Should biblical tenets be written into our laws?

If there were a tax on every speech a person makes in a public forum would we then have free speech?

Does this have the potential for immediate violence and long-ranging tensions? The latter is insignificant; we have that anyway. But if there are crowds around mocking these guys and their religion and their 'prophet,' what might happen? Just a homemade poster of that guy may be enough to put...

Only a life-threatening condition qualifies as an emergency? We ought to hope our local fire departments don't define it that way. "This is 9-1-1. State the nature of your emergency." "My house is on fire!" "Is anyone inside your house?" "No!" 'Well, then, you should have called the...

While I don't believe such a thing as annihilation, I have considered how it's an easy response to a cultist, as virtually all cults say there is no eternal torment in a lake of fire. For example, if you are talking with a JW at your door and ask him what will happen to you if you do not join...

You did not answer my request to define love within the concept of "loving those in hell." We are not in conflict as to whether He wants all to come to repentance, but when they see the throne of judgment-- entirely consistent with the biblical definition of faith-- it's no longer unseen, so...

Again, that seems to be just playing with words, to me. He "loves" them, but they are in eternal inescapable torment-- so His love is useless, then. And in case you are thinking love as described in I Corinthians 13, there is absolutely nothing of that applied to those in hell-- not patience, no...

If either heaven or hell is the end result of God 'loving us all,' .. ain't we just lucky? "Love" has no meaning at all if He loves those in hell. Or maybe the inquisitors loved the heretics they were stretching on the rack, 'testing' with red-hot pincers and burning at the stake?

This is a question I have thought about before, and I am persuaded in the other direction, although I have not and will not answer the poll. "Love" must be meaningless if God 'loves' people suffering horribly who cannot escape nor cease to exist. It's hard enough to continue believing He loves...
