John Calvin: "The godly mind restrains itself from sinning, not over dread of punishment alone, but because it loves and reverences the Father. Even if there was no hell, it would still shudder at offending Him."
@jorymicah Difficult to believe 10 cops would mistreat you. Let's consider: 10 individuals, decide jointly to abuse you, not one saying "Isn't this wrong?" I think you were the problem. And I say this as someone who has been arrested in the past, and appropriately.
@CoriBush You're a complete liar and you know it. 1st, the shooting from behind a hill you describe never happened. 2nd, you are using this to stir up racial hatred, by leading people to believe Rittenhouse shot blacks. Those he shot (who assaulted him) are white.
@davidhogg111 David Hogg, you're a spiteful, vicious man. It would be preferable for you to learn that just because people don't agree with you politically, doesn't make them deserving of your opposition.
@canadiangirlbc1 Can you show me a link where this news is? I cannot find any reports of it, which of course is part of your point. I'm genuinely interested in sharing this info on my page. Thanks. -- Dennis
@bald_calvinist I've had those days, brother ... yep. Often at such moments or days, I cry out as M'Cheyne did, "Lord, if you haven't saved me before, please save me now." I'm persuaded he never ignores such a cry, it's in His will.
@Alyssa_Milano That mask is as effective as a spaghetti colander.
I have friends in Mexico and Ecuador who are starving in poverty because of this lockdown.
California bill 2943 forbids counseling or literature about "sexual orientation change efforts within an individual." But the biblical idea of repentance is rooted in change. This is a challenge to our gospel that says "repent." The world hates a gospel that calls for change.
โDiscord and division become no Christian. For wolves to worry the lambs is no wonder, but for one lamb to worry another, this is unnatural and monstrous.โ -- Thomas Brooks, Puritan
When the Scriptures don't answer your question, it doesn't mean they're inadequate or insufficient. It usually just means your questions are ones the Bible never meant or designed to answer.
