@RealJRHughes@HansFiene I think you're absolutely right! My wife and I declined the screening with our twins because there was no reason. They were going to be born either way! The doctor encouraged it and said many people choose to abort. The thought made me sick
@MetzUAC1530 John 15:19 ESV
[19] If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
@Fair_and_Biased How is this different than "Grandma can't really walk anymore. I guess we'll have to put an end to her now. We can't let a disabled person live!"
@moldywoodpile@1EpicPug@LutheranAnswers@HansFiene I've really noticed my own sanctification over the years. Don't get me wrong - I am and always will be a sinner. I used to do a lot of pretty bad stuff, but I've lost interest in a lot of sinful things i used to enjoy. It's a lifelong process as you grow in faith.
@RevIsaacWirtz Thank for the insight! I figured he was not actually guilty of the evils that many people are accusing him of. I'm sure his congregation knows him well and probably thought very little of it. I hope he hasn't suffered much damage from an honest, dumb mistake.
@___mithrandir_ If i ever attended a church that used incense in worship, I would want to get a good understanding of the reason. I'm not opposed- unless it was being done for the wrong reasons.
@SamanthaRedeemd YESSSSSS!!!!! Growing in faith and getting old, plus entertainment changing for the worse has caused me to lose interest in most TV and movies (except sports)
@LutheranAnswers There were definitely some shady things going on with the 2020 election in Michigan, Arizona and Georgia. And Epstein didn't kill himself.
@WmWeedon Thank you for sharing! I'll have to try those ideas! I have a HORRIBLE time staying focused so rarely get a lot out of a sermon. I've thought before that if most people are like me, it's a waste of time for a pastor to prepare a sermon that's more than a few minutes.
