This I agree with, as Jesus grew in Mary's womb for nine months. Unless Jesus did not have a belly button (aka: umbilical cord), He drew all of His sustenance from Mary during that time.

Other than the Mariners (currently 62-68) I don't follow baseball much. Is there something I missed that could cause the MLB to collapse?

While I was in Israel back in 1999, the friend I was visiting (an IFB missionary and his family) told me that both an Imam and a Rabbi can be present and observing when a cow is butchered, and then it is considered as both halal and kosher. He said the butchering requirements were very much...

I am not in your position, of course, but I would explain to them that the Lord, Jesus Christ died for our transgressions, and rose again and now reigns in Heaven. If you have a bible in their language, I would show them the text...This is God's first law to His children. Exodus 20:1-5 1 And...

I might be friendly with the Buddhist monks, but no, I would certainly not engage with them while they are making offerings to false gods and idols.

No, they are not still in force. Paul and Barnabas were in Antioch, and some men came there from Judea, and were telling the Gentiles that they also must be circumcised in order to be saved. Paul and Barnabas had some rather heated discussions with them about this, and it was decided that...

In my 67+ years I have traveled extensively throughout 47 of the 50 US states, plus trips to Germany, Israel, Mexico and Canada. Can't say I've ever come across a "pagan orgy BBQ"...but if I do, I'll be sure to give it a wide berth.

Could you expand on this thought?

Strangest road name I've ever seen is an exit off of I-15 near Baker, Calif. It's in the middle of nowhere, and basically goes nowhere. The road is named "Zzyzx"...pronounced as Ziz-zix. No idea how it got that name, but I would have to guess that alcohol was involved.

From the article: “Street names are more than just labels,” Hernandez said. “They shape how people experience and feel about where they live.” Wow....talk about "woke" culture. Somebody needs to get a life. Some 60 years back I lived on a street named "Teranimar". The person who owned all the...

Now, that was funny!! (and amazingly accurate)

Deacon, I am sad to hear of your families loss of Kylie. No doubt she fought a great fight; now there is no more pain for her to bear. My prayers continue for you and your family.

Ben, please forgive me if I implied certain belief in any of those thoughts. While you do not, I struggle with this, as do many others I am sure. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Sick, sick, sick......

Deacon..I will certainly add Kylie to my prayers. My step-daughter (adult) has been fighting colon and stomach cancer for over ten years. Sadly, a cancer fight is not merely a skirmish, but a long, protracted war. :confused:

Understood, and thank you for clarifying the application of those verses. I should have read through them more carefully for the context. Having now read the entire thread, I'll just continue to follow along.

Jesus said: Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. When Jesus would preach to the people, there were crowds gathered to listen and learn. Some would believe and be saved, and some would not, but would return to hear Him again. One...

Agreed...100%

I knew that Landmark Baptists embraced much of Calvinism, but not much more about their particulars. The article at the link is loaded with new information to be learned....thank you greatly for sharing it.

Coming to any type of firm conclusion with Genesis 1 is something I have wrestled with, at length. Being a bit of a space/cosmology nerd, I know there are certain processes that have taken place in the universe that require extended lengths of time..not in thousands of years, but in millions...
