  1. thank you for sharing this wonderful testimony Wayne.
  2. no problem, Omegaman just get back to me when you have time i don't check in to this site everyday because i don't have internet connection where i live.
  3. her brother is gay and pro gay marriage, so don't think he is a Christian or a RC for that matter.
  4. it is one thing to say you don't know who someone is it is another to saying things like "are they of any importance or relevance" you are being rude.
  5. i am just reading this article on Daily Beast, Curtis Ingraham, Laura Ingraham's older brother, called her a "monster" and on his twitter account (his Twitter account has since then been deleted), he made many harsh criticism about his sister. https://www.thedailybeast.com/laura-ingrahams-brother-goes-to-war-against-her in the article her brother said “The divisiveness in this country has cut through not just friendships, but it’s cut through families,” he said. “I was doing that dance with my sister for a while, we were very tight, her anger was funny to me back then.” i thought this is both illuminating about their current state of relationship as well as the direction our world in heading. as many of you may remember it was not that long ago when you can agree to disagree with people on issues such as gay marriage and still have a relationship. now days it seems if you are for God's definition of marriage, you are automatically a bigot and hateful..... her brother also stated in the article that it is Laura Ingraham's punditry that is (at least partially responsible) in destroying their relationship. i find this article very sad because i have read this old article once, apparently just like Curtis Ingraham said, he and Laura were very close. Laura even moved in with Curtis back in the nineties when Curtis's then partner were dying of AIDS to offer support. disclaimer! i am not saying i agree or disagree with positions Laura Ingraham take, i don't really watch her show, but i just find it very sad that our current climate is so polarised, and getting more so by the day, is reflecting in people's relationships, even close ones. very sad!
  6. oh.... ok i see what you mean now. yes, if a drug does not contain the active ingredients like it should, that is a very serious.
  7. hi Omegaman 3.0 For Hebrew 6 4-6 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. the key words for me here is "it is impossible" and "to be brought back to repentance" i have seen a Tim Conway sermon where he stated those key words suggests there will be a point where God will turn His back on us and we will lose the ability to repent. Hence we suffer the fate of eternal condemnation. For Hebrew 10 26-31 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. the key words for me are underlined above. for me, it seems the passages is very clearly saying that for those who willful sins, no sacrifice for those sins are left and they will be left to the judgments of eternal fire of hell. hello what do you mean that those passages needs to be understood in a way that does not contradict other passages? i thought the reason theologians are divided into two camps is because the scriptural passages that support the case of losing salvation contradict the scriptural passages that supports the position once saved , always saved? and those scriptural passages can not be reconciled? thanks and looking forward to hear back from you.
  8. i think this should not be a political correct issue, or move on with the time issue, but a biblical issue. what does the Bible say? 1 Timothy 2:11-12 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent
  9. i just browsed through the article, it appears to be more about qualities of drugs as oppose to counterfeit drugs.
  10. i have seen this video by Charles Stanley where he was citing John 10 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish. with the emphasize on the word "never" in this passage. but i don't know, like you have quoted many scriptural passages including Hebrew 6 and Hebrew 10, which seems to state clearly that a person who willful sins will suffers some kind of severe consequences.....
  11. hello i saw a Joe Biden interview since then Joe Biden seems to claim (as i understood it) that Hunter Biden was already on the board "before" Joe Biden became the point person for Ukraine however, i also came across this article in the Wall Street Journal. https://www.wsj.com/articles/did-obama-apply-his-clinton-rules-to-the-bidens-11573069621 the article claims that Burisma uses Biden's name to leverage a meeting with the state department. it also claims in 2016, Joe Biden successfully pressured Ukraine to fire the persecutor who was investigating Burisma. the most damning thing from the article states that if the situation is reversed, as in an American company doing the same thing with a son of a foreign official, it would violate Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. As such, why should US not request Ukraine employs the same standard on the son of an American official who were involved in a foreign company in a similar way. now bear in mind Wall Street Journal is a right wing publication, so it makes me wonder whether they have left things out of the article or misrepresent the situation in one way or another. either way, i feel Hunter Biden should not have accepted a board position while his dad was the vice president, even if there is no conflict of interest, it still does not look good.
  12. generally speaking, both Conservative and liberal media can lie.
  13. yes, but the issue is Joe Biden is his potential opponent in the general election. but i see your point. i do think there need to be an investigation into Hunter Biden's dealing in Ukraine. i am just disgusted when Joe Biden says he is proud of Hunter's decision
  14. where in the article i have linked you to stated what you just stated here? i don't really have time here, but will try get back to you
  15. it does appear Democrats is very eager to impeach Trump, and based on what i hear so far, it is mine belief they don't really have legitimate ground to do so.
  16. honestly he wouldn't i don't really know a lot about the Biden situation but i was watching the Democratic primary debate, and this question about Hunter sitting on Ukrainian board actually came up base on mine recollection, Biden was the point of contact for Ukraine at the white house at the time Biden stated he did not discuss with Hunter anything regarding Ukraine. even if that were true, i still think it is a clear conflict of interest, because lets face it, the probability is quite high, in mine opinion, that the Ukrainian company offered Hunter the seat as a way to curry favor with his dad. Hunter Biden and Joe Biden can't be so dumb they don't realize it that is why i was disgusted when Joe Biden says he is "proud" of Hunter's decision it is one thing to love your son, it is another to have no moral compass and endorse your son's immoral decision. but still, i think what happened with Hunter does not warrant impeachment. it is a conflict of interest for sure, but still... now if Joe Biden shared state secret with Hunter, that would be another matter....
  17. come on now! trump's approval rating is all time low. not only that, people who dislike trump really really dislike him, which means a greater voting turn out against trump don't buy into everything you read Trump will be a one term president, that part is for sure.
  18. oh ok.... so you are talking about specific area of powerful men who commit wrongdoing? the only thing is metoo movement doesn't just impact those who are rich and powerful, but its impact spread throughout to all sectors of society.
  19. i hate to say this but the article back up its claim with specific mention of victims and details what happens to them, that is evidence.
  20. are you saying when you create an environment where due process is compromised, there won't be good men going down? really? https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2017/09/the-uncomfortable-truth-about-campus-rape-policy/538974/ above article gave a horrid account of what happens when due process is compromised.
