Mentally ill people can and do own firearms and other weapons. Sane people own firearms, primarily, and other weapons to protect themselves from mentally ill people. This latest Nashville shooter did not know what sex he was. That strongly suggests a mental illness to me. I believe we have to do a better job of defending soft targets such schools, churches, etc.

D1120 is in fact my expert license number, issued 1965 by the PCA.

I agree with you first position. In these days we need teachers. The main obstacle is the student must accept the subject first or they won't listen and follow instruction. Thus the born again experience becomes paramount. God loves you and does not want you to perish. Jesus died so that you can be free, right now. The scripture shows: Pro 9:10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding Pro 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death. Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;

I think you may be correct. However, I place a lot of blame on LBJ and the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.

The Bible clearly indicates that in the last days before Jesus' return that His believers will be hated by the world and even martyred. In a micro sense you, et. al, are validating scripture generally and my faith specifically. Thank you.

I still think B Griner is a phony. If you wish to paint me with a broad brush, dip it in the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

No he's not. I am a PGR ride captain, now inactive.

I was never faced with that choice. My choices in the military were women or skydives.

There are all the same. Sexual sin is sexual sin.

You always want to choose some far out people group to create a hypothetical intellectual argument. I don't know anything about the Panamanian Aborigines. I can only guess that the Wycliff Bible Translators have not reached them, yet. This I know, on 16 Mar 81 the Holy Spirit spoke to me and asked me what was my block against Jesus. I had no satisfactory answer. He showed the door of a C-47 and said, "You must have faith to go through the door." Being born-again is an experience unlike anything else I had ever experienced. There is no intellectual reasoning that will produce it. I takes total surrenderr of the self, the ego, and ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and come into your heart. If you are sincere, total surrender, you receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. It is a choice, no debate. The Bible says the sins of the father will manifest down to the third or fourth generation. There is a genetic predisposition to alcoholism. Most professionals accept this. How can there be a genetic predisposition to homosexuality when homosexuals do not procreate? It is a choice. BTW, Brittany looked and talked like a man last night at the NAACP awards. I still think he is a phoney.

It is not for me to judge. I have no personal vested interest in these folks. The Bible says they will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

God loves us all so much that He provided His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for our sinful choices. All we have to do is accept His grace and mercy. Y'all got me going, more to follow.

Homosexuals are making a choice with tragic eternal consequences.

Took you long enough. 8-)

From what I understand, we are flying circles around it and jaming its signal output. It is as large as three buses and we don't know exactly what is inside.

No, because I know who I am, where I came from, and where I am going. The Bible provides the answers. Actually, it is more accurate to say, Whose I am.

It is your reality.

That is the point.

I like it. Perception is reality.

Was there a State of the Union address this year? I couldn't find a reference. Any thoughts? This AM, 2 Feb, his approval rating is 73% DISAPPROVAL

I certainly recognize and adhere to science. Furthermore, I am not a follower of religious dogma.

It is not that kind of book. It will be, if I actually write it, directed as a help text for Christian counselors, pastors, preachers, and ministers.

People do not learn anything if they don't ask questions. Posters here do that very rarely. And, in general, they hate articulation.

The best that Q had to offer was that it gave some measure of hope to 50% of the common folk. We know that the other 50% is flat out lying to us.
