    Understanding God’s election

    https://www.britannica.com/art/irony irony, linguistic and literary device, in spoken or written form, in which real meaning is concealed or contradicted. That may be the result of the literal, ostensible meaning of words contradicting their actual meaning (verbal irony) or of a structural...

    Bourbon Street Massacre A "Terrorist Attack"

    Absolutely. However,the Supreme Court said a president can't be prosecuted for things they've done under the color of office so Biden can't be arrested and tried. Mores the pity

    Understanding God’s election

    As I see it ChatGPT is not able to rightly divine the word of truth of God. Instead it is merely a semblance of a search engine that compiles related text together through keyword relationships rather than understanding the divinely inspired contextual singular message of hope and eternal...

    Understanding God’s election

    Judas was possessed by Satan. Satan is also the son of perdition. That Scripture that comments upon the man is an observation of the writer. Not a declaration or judgement of Judas by Jesus. Whereas Jesus as we know from scripture knew of Judas,Satan within him, plan of betrayal and told Judas...

    President Biden and President-elect Trump react to death of Jimmy Carter

    Obviously because no one has yet implied judgement and criticism against them in order to derail and politicize this memoriam to President Carter.

    Understanding God’s election

    You appear deeply confused. I never stared anything even remotely related to your post. In face my first words in my post that you quote states that I think Judas was Saved. Unless I'm mistaken that you are in full error misrepresenting my post and instead are making a declaration of your beliefs.

    Understanding God’s election

    Your post led me to wonder about a topic many discuss now days. AI. Because as many know there are AI fakes on You Tube and elsewhere now. Do you think AI bots could be a factor in Christian forums now too? Which may explain why we will read posts that are ,shall I say, poorly worded and with...

    Understanding God’s election

    I think Judas was Saved. I also think we need to remember that Judas was possessed by Satan so to betray Jesus. I think that explains why Judas hanged himself. Cursed is anyone who hangs on a tree. And his repentance is on record when he went to the temple and returned the silver. Satan in...

    Understanding God’s election

    True. Someone denying the words of Jesus ,calling Jesus a liar, isn't new. However, calling Jesus ministry as employing Irony is a first for me. I've never before read someone accuse that of our Lord.

    I admit that's a new one. Irony. It's untrue but as far as denying Jesus meant what he taught, it is a new one.

    Bourbon Street Massacre A "Terrorist Attack"

    God rest in peace those who died. And bring comfort to all who grieve. Is the driver dead? He shot two police officers according to reporting. Police were there as he drove past them, according to other reports.

    anyone have any decent jokes?

    A man is flying in a hot-air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man below. He lowers the balloon farther and shouts, "Excuse me! Can you tell me where I am?" The man below says: "Yes, you're in a hot-air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field." "You must be an...

    Understanding God’s election

    Why would Adam and Eve die after they fell? Because they were mortal. They were no longer in what Jesus was when he had put off the flesh prior to ascension, a glorified body. When Adam disobeyed God Sin entered the world. The world. Not Adam's body. Read 1 Corinthians 15 Death of Adam was...

    Answer to your question. God never did that. Therefore,if you believe it to be true you are in error from Genesis onward. There is nothing to be said after that to those who know better.

    Understanding God’s election

    "I work on the basis that approximately 5% of any population are elect." Then you and your ego are playing God. Which explains your Eisegesis.
