@CherylSchatz@ymmotrojam Knowing who will believe does not = His determining belief. So those not believing. He grieves unbelief: "declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, from your evil ways, for why will you die"
@rabbriansamuel Sure Messianic Jews are Christian. However, asserting any incumbency upon non-Jews to observe Jewish customs is unbiblical. But continuing to offer blood sacrifices would be a denial of Christ's once-for-all-time offering of Himself for sinners.
@CherylSchatz Our five babies displayed rather grim outlooks on being hungry, wet, colicky, and tired. They readily signaled their disagreement with being told "No!" In fact, their first word beyond "Dada" was "No!" If asked if they took a cookie, they'd say, "No.", with crumbs on their lips.
@CherylSchatz The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies. - Psalm 58:3
How does this comport with your perspective?
@MikeWingerii Why should a scripted film with wholly imagined characters using extreme CGI expressly meant to bolster the faith of atheists be useful in undermining the eye witness testimony of the God Who is there and Who is not silent?
@DC_Draino Wishful thinking. All there will be is the press trumpeting the "victors" and the big stall until Trump disappears into history and the stopper goes back into the swamp drain. "This is how the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper."
@DrShayPhD The RCC will tell you the Apocrypha is not on the same level with 66 witnesses, but they do seem to borrow from it as though it were holy writ. But non-RRCs have their own "sacred commentators" and "truthsayers".
@CherylSchatz Perhaps so, though no specific text assures us of this. What we are sure of is that the Judge of all the earth will do what is just and right. There are so many moot matters that we rely upon "good and necessary consequence" as a ground. But merely "stirring the pot" isn't good.
@1Nicdar Exactly! We paid 50K over 30 years ago. It is assessed at 200K today & the market places it at 185K - 250K, depending. And the bulk of the $$ goes to public schools run by woke boards & lefty propagandists.
@DrShayPhD@rightnGA Psalm 16 does not simply apply to the Christ, but to David & all that are in Him thru faith. Lazarus the beggar also portrays the conscious comfort those of faith have at death. Perhaps your own definition of 'heaven' is in need of amendment & your own interpretive grid.
