No!

Praying for you.

My mother and father have both had both of the Moderna shots, and my brother has had both of his Pfizer shots. I personally have not had mine yet but will hopefully be getting it soon.

I am assuming you are referring to Matthew chapter 13. If so I have always thought that 1-9 is referring to the sowing of the Gospel. What are your thoughts on it @Whyme?

I really like Psalm 118, and Psalm 127.

What are they hiding now? All I can think of is that they are protecting others from you giving COVID-19 to them. What is so wrong with loving your neighbor?

That is awesome!

You have been given lots of good advice here, and I just want to add something. My mothers mother is very similar to her. She has found that the best thing to do is to cut off contact. Sometimes in life there are things that only God can fix. I would pray about it and ask for guidance. I would also talk to her. Have a sit down meeting and explain what will happen if she acts in X way and make it clear that she is acting inappropriately. God bless.

9 The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour[b] to pray. 10 And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance 11 and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.” 15 And the voice came to him again a second time, “What God has made clean, do not call common.” 16 This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven. 1 Timothy 4:1-5 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.” KJV I have to disagree with you on many things but this especially because it is highly non biblical. Please quote those scriptures. As to your first question you cannot be both muslim and Christian, you can only be one or the other.

Apple for the Win!

Thank you so much you guys, I really enjoy reading your posts, and have learned a lot from them.

Sure.

Welcome back BB!

True. But, that is just my personal preference.

I meant like not being able to walk through fire and stuff like that. Yep and or just really morphed from what it actually is.

Kinda like that, but that is fine as long as it is that type of story not like those stories that are supposed to be like now in real life. IE based in the present reality with normal powers etc.

Well for me today it was Holy Holy Holy, House of Gold specifically: Chorus one: She asked me, "Son, when I grow old, Will you buy me a house of gold? And when your father turns to stone, Will you take care of me?" Let's say we up and left this town, And turned our future upside down. We'll make pretend that you and me, Lived ever after happily.

To theorize I would say that some people dislike them because they have the ability to figure out the plot after only reading a few pages, and that removes the novelty of reading a new book. For my personally most fiction is not accurate to real life hence why I am very specific about what if any fiction I will read. Another reason could be that they like the reading style of non-fiction. Which personally reads very different from the average fiction book. For me, I like some fiction but it has to be about a subject that I like and it must be accurate to real life none of that perfection nonsense. The plot must also be very interesting to read so nothing that I can figure out in just a couple chapters.

This is a red herring. It has nothing whatever to do with what I posted. Also, the way the question is worded implies that I was saying that teaching children to remember Christ every time they are given something is bad, which is not remotely close to the truth. Here's a straw man. This is nothing like what I posted. You are putting words in my mouth, as I rightly said, and implying that I'm against using the festival as an opportunity to disciple people. Why did you do the above and why did you then deny doing it, trying to make out that I was the one in the wrong? It's quite disgraceful. Okay, lets start with the date, you said that date was not in the Bible so I asked you if that really matters, you are correct that only the truth matters. Perhaps you did not mean to call someone pathetic but from my perspective as the reader it reads like you are calling them pathetic, but in calling there story pathetic it reads like you are calling them pathetic. I did not misrepresent what you posted, I only misunderstood an honest mistake, and I am sorry about that please forgive me. Sorry about the miswording on that one, in some ways it is, it says in the Bible that we are not only to love others, but our duty as parents is to raise a child up in the way he should go, one of the ways one could do that is through teaching them to remember Christ. That also quotes back to my original post. Please let no-one say that he is doing it to honour the Lord, because that would be utter hypocrisy, when the Lord has not authorised any such thing, nor has he even told us the date of Christ's birth (although it is possible to work out what it almost certainly was (not in Winter!), based on the Passover lamb details). That is what the last thing is refering to. I did no such thing, that was not my intent, I did not try to make you out as wrong, I was just explaining my argument, my goal was not to attach you in any way. God bless you, and I will now be bowing out of this thread before anyone feelings are hurt more than they already are.

Perhaps to you they are red herrings, but I defended my point and asked you some questions that I was hoping you would be so kind to have answered. I did not put words in your mouth. On the first line, I was just stating my realization that from your perspective it would read differently than from mine, that is it. Second line, I was asking you to think something through, does in reality the date truly matter? Like really is it super important? Next line, I am stating a point, and also pointing out that you do not have all the facts about why I celebrate Christmas. Same thing with the last line. I am just going to hope that this was a misunderstanding. In the long run, it is each person's own decision to celebrate Christmas or not simple as that. Ps. Please do not call people pathetic, that is mean and nasty, and he was making a very good point. God bless.

Mine is Oh Come Oh Come Emanuel.

Sorry about the misunderstanding in my word usage, I should have said I think. I did not mean it in the way you made it sound. Okay, about the spelling thing. I don't even know what half of that stuff is so I am not in a position to talk about those specific things, but about the tree is there any problem you see in decorating a tree for fun with your kids, or with people who have no family? Does the date itself matter? Does the giving of gifts go against the Bible, and is teaching children to remember Christ every time they are given something bad? Okay, so my using Christmas as an opportunity to disciple to people is wrong?

Here is my take on Christmas. I believe that it is the celebration of the great gift of Jesus Christ. I believe that it is a celebration of His birth and of his coming to save us from our sins. I also believe that the giving of presents represents the gift of Jesus. That is my take.

Got it.

Yes he does indeed still come. Yes you are welcome to meet him.
