    Trump Indicted!!!

    Trump will be speaking on this matter around 8:15pm EST. the last I heard, and he is going to have a field day with this "pebble" that has been thrown at him.

    What a disaster, a complete waste of time, and our taxpayer dollars.

    Trump Indicted!!!

    This is looking like a complete train wreck for the DA. Even the liberal media is saying this case is weak.

    Theories on the resurrection

    Great point and quite fitting based on where we are at in Holy Week. Yes, I love looking forward to Easter and the hope we have in our resurrected Lord ("He is risen; He is risen indeed!"), yet remembering Jesus' incredibly painful sacrifice for us with the kangaroo court, mockings and beatings...

    Theories on the resurrection

    What are your thoughts on the following verses: 1 Peter 3:18-20 King James Version 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached unto...

    Theories on the resurrection

    The physical resurrection of Jesus from the grave (He was dead on the human side and in the sepulchre--grave/tomb) is a critical doctrine of our faith: The Apostles’ Creed (ELCA Version) I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only...

    Theories on the resurrection

    Yes, there isn't a definitive statement that Thomas actually took Jesus up on His offer to touch His hands and side: John 20:27-28 New International Version 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”...

    Theories on the resurrection

    Anytime we stray from our Biblical foundation as Christians, we end up in mirky waters. The gospel record makes it very clear that Jesus resurrected bodily. "Doubting" Thomas got to see and feel Jesus' fatal wounds from the cross.

    Do you still believe America is a Christian nation?

    There are millions of Christians within this nation, but the USA has lost its Christian roots for sure. I love our country, and I appreciate the freedoms; yet, we have degraded in so many areas. I'll do my best to mitigate the damages, but this is way beyond me, my fellow Christians, and even...

    Theories on the resurrection

    Jesus died on the cross, was buried dead in a tomb for 3 days and 3 nights. Afterwards, he resurrected to life by the power of God Almighty as prophesied throughout the scriptures (he told His disciples as well on more than one occasion, but they didn't grasp the gravity). We will be celebrating...

    Does God forgive anything--ex: homosexuals?

    I love your goal. God is our loving Father, and Jesus is our best friend! I'm happy to serve Him here on earth for as long as possible, and I hope to continue facilitating Christian values into every area that I have influence on others. Karate has become one of those important areas for me...

    Does God forgive anything--ex: homosexuals?

    I did a quick review of your Shotokan branch, and it looks like we are both tied back to Okinawan roots. It seems Shotokan evolved into a Japanese style where strict structure and processes are emphasized to build power and strength. We certainly integrate a Japanese perspective into our doju...

    Does God forgive anything--ex: homosexuals?

    We are so blessed. It was a former dance studio, and we have plenty of room. The hard wood flooring is perfect for our training. Sean and Rhonda put a lot of work into remodeling the dojo and bringing more of the Okinawan spirit to the facility. Sean is a passionate student of the history...

    Does God forgive anything--ex: homosexuals?

    For the sins I struggled with as a new Christian in my early twenties, I had to turn those over to God. There was no way I could overcome those by my own strength. It wasn't like they vanished right away (and they still rear their ugly heads today--30 plus years later!), and I had to wrestle...

    Does God forgive anything--ex: homosexuals?

    Thank you! I've been training in this style for 10 years now, and at 57, I'm still able to train effectively. I can't do what I did when I was younger (e.g. jumps and rolls), but I just adapt to what my body allows me to do now. My sensei trained into his eighties, so I plan to stick with it as...

    Does God forgive anything--ex: homosexuals?

    Well, against a gun of course we are at a disadvantage. But, for those who have knives or other non-firearm weapons, they had better know what they are doing. We practice defensive tactics against those measures in our dojo, and everything is at our disposal to defend ourselves and/or our loved...
