Are you young, gullible, or both? Because I've been hearing that for the last four decades I've been a believer. And that lie has been batted around for the last 200 years.
The phrase "no one" in "no one knows the time" means what it appears to mean. No. One. If someone is telling you someone knows, someone is lying to you. Try not to spread the lie.

I am not sure what is the difference between your mortgages and our bank loans for housing....
You must give some first high deposit, its 20% of the house price in my country. And then you pay some monthly amount, its height depends on how many years you will have the loan.
But the money does not get lost, when you lost a job and cannot continue. The house you are paying monthly is yours. If you cannot pay the loan anymore, they will sell your house and you will get the money from sale. You will not end up with 0 money after that.

About where we were when we put down the deposit. (20%.) But then we took on a 30 year mortgage to pay the rest off, and chose a house that was 25% of our income. It was fine when I lost my job. It wasn't fine when he lost his and neither one of us could find any job. We had a lot saved, but once the savings were gone, a foreclosure came in. That gave us 90 days to pay what we owed, then keep paying what we still owed every month, or lose the house.
The reason everything folded was because of a recession, so there were no jobs to be found. I even failed to get a job as a proctor (watching people take a test once a week) or a Walmart Greeter, (a few steps below flipping fries at McDonald's.) No jobs, meant no one was buying houses either. There was no way of selling our house in 90 days. It takes 6 weeks to settle.
We did get on a government-supported program so they paid our mortgage for us up to one year, and we needed 10 months to get back on our feet, but that had to be paid back too at a higher interest rate than our mortgage was. (And our mortgage is high interest rate too, but every time we refinance it takes longer to pay off the house, so we stopped doing that.)
It was bad, but when the next recession came along, (the 2008 recession), it got worse because most people were riding a housing market bubble, and the bubble burst. So they bought a $150,000 house for $250,000 thinking they could sell it in a couple of years for $400,000 but instead it was worth $150,000, they owed almost twice as much for a house they couldn't afford at half the price.
Many people lost their houses. We were wiser. We bought a $69,000 house and 27 years later, its' worth $185,000, except we still owe on it. Had we lost it, we would have paid more for a rental than we pay for a mortgage, and since neither one of us work now, that is above our pay grade.

In my country, the state will not support me to buy your house, but it will pay all my rental money and food if I will be unemployed.
So, its actually easier to live in a rent. But yes, I am still paying to somebody else and not investing to my own estate. To buy a house is more risky, state will not support me in it in case of problems.

Hello
There are many hated verses, and Gen 3:16 is one of them.
Feminists aren't strong women. They're insecure, if nor boorish. They need affirmation by taking men's roles, which they often take through gender preferences (sexual discrimination).
Churches that have women pastors are in rebellion against God, for scripture is clear on this issue. The new SBC president sadly says the SBC more women in leadership. He's showing he believed, even if he won't say it, that women should be pastors.
The Bible tells us, "And he [Paul] found [a man, preached in the synagogue and to] a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla". Notice that Priscilla is introduced as the wife of Pontus, rather than Pontus as the husband of Priscilla. This man and wife, they, learned of Christ and they hear a man, not a woman, Apollos, preaching about Jesus. They had more knowledge of Christ so "they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately." Is it not hatred for what the Bible says to take this example of Priscilla in a private conversation, with her husband, and pass it off as an example of a woman in authority over men, and publicly preaching?
