Wait! You just said "wear a rope"... oh nevermind. "robe". :p

"jpeg file"?!! What a nerd!!! :LOL::ROFL:

Funny you mentioned the "met with hostility" bit. When I once wondered if Lutherans were wrong about Catholicism and visited a Catholic church, I was met with hostility too. I had a good experience praying during church service, but when I spoke to the priest afterwards, I was met with extreme...

I went to a Catholic university for my master's in Software Engineering (DePaul University in Chicago), and to be honest, I had one of the best university experiences in my life. The staff I dealt with at school were very honest and caring people. They did things from the heart not for selfish...

Proverbs 24:30 (WEB) I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding:

I didn't read any quoted scripture in any of your posts. Any words that don't come from God are impotent (i.e. without power). Never give them attention. They come from Satan who has no true power, but that stolen from sinners who gave away their power (that came from God) with their own actions...

God's armies only do good in the world. Doesn't sound like anything I need to worry about at all, especially as a Canadian who occasionally works in the US and might become American eventually. I socialize with army people over sports and and admire their gallantry. Heck if anything, in Chicago...

"God is neither a democrat nor a republican." That is completely pointless information that does not mean anything. Democrats and Republicans oughta follow God, not the other way around. "I believe only Christ can save us." Christ ordered people to do good for others all the time, meaning he...

" “back to normal” (meaning back to how it was; as we know it was)" That did not explain one bit what you meant by "normal". Also, "how it was; as we know it was" does not mean anything. We live in the "present" after all. "I’m also leaving from a European perspective having been flooded with...

Correction: "We make our own normal everyday. Things don't turn to normal unless you're a child who's a victim to the world instead of a responsible participant who is doing his part for God everyday."

"But that’s never going to happen." These are not the words of a believer in God who knows God is omnipotent and can answer any prayer provided you are obedient to God and follow Jesus Christ. "I’d like to see it all turn back to normal, the way it was." We make our own normal everyday...

Welcome and Godspeed.

That's like asking if Christians breathe!!!? You realize Christians are just people right?! As such, just like everybody else, they have the ability to empathize with others. There is nothing special about that. It's part of humanity as per God's design to empathize. This may only seem special...

I'm Canadian. When I was young and dumb, I was all for socialism (but not communism). I thought it provided benefits to the weak and poor that were unavailable in our neighboring USA. As I grew older and reached the top ranks of my profession, I've discovered that socialism is for the mediocre...

Weed is awful. I did a study on it when I was in my undergrad and gave a presentation about it to my fellow students at the time (20 years ago). It was regarding the harmful effects of weed on motivation and activity. Back in my college years, I also heard real stories of college students who...

Welcome and Godspeed.

John 1:27 (WEB) He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen.

As continuation of my previous reply, I just remembered a story in which I was invited to lunch after lutheran Church service by a fellow church member, and when the subject of Catholics came up, his wife stopped us dead in our tracks and asked us not to make fun of Catholics emphasizing it was...

"I believe it's on this different the whole thing rests" Absolutely not. This is not even a thing. And, there is no true conflict between Protestants and Catholics (I've gone to a Catholic university for my master's and had no issues with Catholics whatsoever). The conflict has always been...

King David was sure anointed, but that was decided by God, not the people who were only doing God's will, which is more important than anything a democracy could offer. -- 1 Samuel 16:1 (NET) The Lord said to Samuel, “How long do you intend to mourn for Saul? I have rejected him as king over...
