Matthew 5

I am thankful to God for the experience.

Purchase with cash.

Welcome back!

Seems to me this is the next evolution of land mines. We've already seen the devastation that minefields cause and international community has been poo-pooing mines for a while. Perhaps we should take caution before we let machines decide whom to kill or not kill.

I was listening to some rock 'n roll from the sixties and the song lyrics could have been written about today.

In computer science you can have data and then a pointer to data. In fact, you can have multiple pointers to the same underlying data. Each pointer points to the same thing. The thing is not accessed directly but is referenced via its pointer(s). Perhaps we're dealing with something similar. Maybe God, whatever his ultimate form, is sufficiently abstract as to be incomprehensible to our minds, hence we have easier to conceptualize "pointers" that point to the underlying truth, each in their own unique way.

If anyone asks you for your pronouns, say "I/me/mine" with a straight face. Let's see how that works out.

"They are the most grateful. The ones that are rescued, they feel it." Amen

I think a person can get whatever tattoo they want when they turn 18. Before that, no way. I have seen religious iconography tattoos many times, including crosses and scripture. If that's what a person wants, so be it.

But, but, but... there's a video!

If you can't lay hands upon the person for legal reasons then that's okay. Remember the centurion who sent for Jesus to heal his servant.

Hallelujah! Yes, we each have angels watching over us.

Good point!

What have you got to lose? Seriously, if you sincerely and contritely confess your sin and God rejects you then how is that worse than doing nothing? If you were truly lost then you would not be struggling. The fact that you struggle is a sign that you want to live so confess your sin and mean it. Then accept what happens. You still have some agency left you. It's Satan who wants you to turn away from God. It's Satan who wants you to give up. Don't do it! Kneel down and confess. Confess. Cry. Scream. Beg. Be honest. Be contrite. GIVE UP YOUR ILLUSION OF CONTROL and let God decide. May God bless you Andrew and give you strength. I am praying for you. Jason
