@noahsarkscans It takes gigantic amounts of ferns to produce a tiny bit of coal

There’s no way a single flood can account for the massive amount of coal in the world

It’s taken billions of years of plant matter

@jamierkennedy @usopengolf Difficulty has less to do with the course, but rather the set up

Grow the rough to 6inches
Narrow the fairways
Let the greens die, resulting in rock hard surfaces
Ridiculous pin placements

I would humbly submit that the way out of the blind alley of “dead in our sins” is to recognize the proleptic nature of Paul’s statement (& its basis in Adam & Eve)

Paul is saying, “because of your sins, you’re on the road to certain death *unless something radically changes*”

@OzMarquezz So God consigns people to eternal torment, completely independent of their own choices? Yet this is only “mild”hatred, not “absolute” hatred?

When does your sense of the ridiculous kick in?

[Joel Halcomb @JoelHalcomb]

@RevReads289 Ergo, “faith alone” does not save

@joshnaa2gez Telling the truth is a mark of someone who follows Jesus

Mormonism is not compatible with orthodox Christianity

[Joel Halcomb @JoelHalcomb]

@needGod_net Salvation depends on Jesus’ atoning work on the cross

It also depends on the transformational power of the Holy Spirit, who gives us the ability to obey Gods commands

“Salvation & the Spirit”

@YourCalvinist I would generally agree, but several scriptures give me pause

For Example, The Ethiopian eunuch & the Philippian jailer were immediately baptized

@Cernovich Kids without stable marriage is a recipe for disaster

[Joel Halcomb @JoelHalcomb]

@TMZ It wasn’t illegal until he viciously plunged the knife into that kids chest

@ArkEncounter Good grief

When does your sense of the ridiculous kick in?

[Joel Halcomb @JoelHalcomb]

@BiblicGrounded God is the judge
You know if Gods Spirit is clearly at work in your life

“If you live according to the flesh, you will die. But if, by the Spirit, you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live!”

[Joel Halcomb @JoelHalcomb]

Building your entire soteriology on one verse is the fast path to error

Jesus & his disciples clearly commanded baptism

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”
Matthew 28:19 NIV

@TedRall Same liberal mentality which allows crime & chaos in blue cities

[Joel Halcomb @JoelHalcomb]

@ICRscience More flagrant lies

The conditions which produce fossils are active all over the world today, especially when organisms die & settle in anaerobic environments like muddy sea beds where the body doesn’t putrify

@OzMarquezz “Causing it to act freely”?

[Joel Halcomb @JoelHalcomb]

@GodlessEngineer Jesus repeatedly condemned sexual immorality, which would obviously included any sort of homosexual behavior

Jesus repeatedly affirmed the OT which explicitly forbids homosexuality

[Joel Halcomb @JoelHalcomb]

@EdKrassen This is truly a sign of an unwell person

[Joel Halcomb @JoelHalcomb]

@LucifersTweetz The entire concept of a denomination requires that each accepts the validity of the others Christian faith while disagreeing on lesser matters

Ps. The “50k” is a massive exaggeration

[Joel Halcomb @JoelHalcomb]

There is some truth in your assertion

The goal of Christianity is not to escape to heaven after death, but rather the rescue & redemption of Gods creation

Following Jesus leads to life & flourishing in the present, not just eternal bliss

Rebellion against God brings about misery, chaos & death, not just future judgement
