re: Dems: ‘Mass prosecution of GOP & Trump after retaking power. Also pack the SC’
Posted by FooManChoo on 1/17/26 at 2:34 pm to hawgfaninc
What do you think they were doing for 4 years prior to Trump retaking office? January 6 was an excuse for a massive witch hunt where the Dems political enemies were persecuted.
All this means is that they will be even bolder and go even further than before.

Demons are most certainly real and influence people. If God is not your spiritual Father through adoption by faith in Jesus Christ, your father is Satan.

re: Is the far left actually possessed?
Posted by FooManChoo on 1/17/26 at 9:57 am to Mike da Tigah
I’m sure there are some possessed, but I think it has more to do with Romans 1, where many have simply rejected their creator, making idols to worship, and being given over to their sin. God’s hand of restraint has been removed and He is allowing their wickedness to go unfettered for their own judgement and the judgement of others who are not being faithful to Him.
We all need to repent of our sins and turn to Christ by faith, trusting in His work of salvation, and committing to obeying Him as Lord.

quote:I think it's a confusion about where the price increases are, but I think the point is still valid.
So when interest rates were low during COVID, housing prices went down right?
All because the mortgage prices were lower, right?
Your point makes total sense.
The cost of a house may not be specifically impacted by interest rates, but the monthly payments on a mortgage certainly are. If a family cannot pay the monthly payment because of the higher interest rate, the result is the same as if the price of the actual home were too high.
It would actually be easier to adjust the interest rate to be lower than to make the price of building a house lower, and in doing so, it could allow more potential buyers to pull the trigger on buying a home when they can't currently.
re: 12th Grade Girls Are Far Less Likely Than Boys To Say They Want To Get Married Someday

quote:I didn’t use the word “good”. I am speaking to the standards that God has set and whether or not women are acting consistently with that standard. There is also a standard for men that many men are not living up to, but I wasn’t addressing them at the time.
The implication here is that women who are frustrated by the imbalances in many marriages aren’t “good women,” or don’t respect God.
I don’t know what you mean by “imbalance” and what you are concerned about being imbalanced, because I believe there may be an imbalance of authority in a marriage (the husband should have the final say) while having a balance of love, respect, and sacrifice towards one another.
quote:Personal happiness is not the Christian standard for a good marriage, though if both husband and wife are submitting to God and acting as the should, it should result in an abundance of happiness.
My husband is very happy and at least tells me how lucky he is to be married to me. I guess it’s possible that he constantly lies to me but what would the point of that be? If either of us was miserable, our life would look very different and probably wouldn’t include kids ranging in age from 1 to almost 9 years old. My frustration points don’t make me a bad wife or mother. These frustration points are societal and cultural, not individual, which is why I’m discussing them here.
Societal and cultural standards are subjective and ultimately arbitrary. It’s why it is important to ground our standard for right and wrong on the unchanging moral standard of God’s own character, as expressed in the 10 commandments. It makes no sense to get frustrated at someone’s opinion of the best vacuum cleaner or SUV, but you seem to be frustrated at what others believe is good based on their own opinions, which are in conflict with your own opinions.
quote:Sin is not something that only exists in one sex or the other. Everyone sins and is prone to do so, and without God’s law and Spirit through Jesus Christ, sin can certainly rule all kinds of relationships, causing misery and destruction of all kinds.
Again, I have a good husband. Even when women have good husbands, these marital imbalances I’ve discussed often persist to the detriment of women.
There are men who abuse their God-given authority and use it to be tyrants in their homes against their wife and children. There are women who do not submit willingly to their husbands and rule over them like a child.
The Christian model for marriage is mutual submission and sacrifice. The husband is the decision-maker but values his wife’s opinions and desires and acts in her best interest, including in sacrificing his own wants and needs for her. The wife respects her husband and submits to his decisions out of love for God and for him.
When either party acts selfishly and does not obey God in marriage, there will be sinful imbalance.

quote:I haven't watched any of these videos, but is there also a stakeout going on prior to entering in? Like, if they pull up at 4:00 AM, and they wait until Noon, with no one coming by and dropping off any kids, that seems to be a better sign of no children are even in there. The opening the door and asking to see the kids is just confronting the owner/manager with the obvious fact at that point.
These videos that are like "They won't let us in, it must be a fake daycare!" are pretty silly. No real daycare would allow in random people off the street. If there are no kids there, why wouldn't the place just be empty?

quote:The Roman Catholic view of the re-presentation of Christ's sacrifice was a development over hundreds of years, and wasn't present in its current understanding for "fifteen centuries of Christianity", as you (and Rome) claim.
Thanks, Foo. Good talk. I do respect your views and analysis, but, of course, I must remind myself that for over Fifteen Centuries of Christianity, the Church agreed with my view, and not yours. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying you're view is "new".
And this is the difference between us laid out plainly yet again: you take the word of the church over the word of the Bible, because if the Bible seems to clearly teach a once-for-all sacrifice and the RCC teaches a perpetual sacrifice, you trust in the church.
quote:I didn't say Revelation was just a book of symbols, but I did clarify that the way to interpret the Bible is to use those verses and passages that are more clear to help us understand the ones that are less clear. Revelation is not intended to be taken strictly literal just due to the type of writing it is.
I'm also a bit surprised that you would call the Book of Revelation just a book of symbols that don't have relevance in making Real Christian Doctrine. I thought we agreed that all books of the New Testament are God-Breathed. I don't think God would waste His Breath on a Book of Revelation if it weren't very important.
I believe you as a Roman Catholic and I as a Reformed Protestant would both disagree with the 200-year-old eschatological view of premil dispensationalism that is so pervasive in evangelical Christianity today, and that view tends to take the book of Revelation as a literal unfolding of what will happen in the future. I don't agree with that, because there is a lot of symbolism in that book. It's because of that that I would say we shouldn't look to that book by itself (over and against other books) to develop doctrines and dogmas that the faithful must believe.
Again I say, if the book of Hebrews is more clear than the book of Revelation on this issue, and I believe it is, we shouldn't discard Hebrews in favor of one verse in Revelation, but should interpret that verse in Revelation in light of many clearer verses in Hebrews and elsewhere. In saying this, I'm not downplaying that Revelation is also God's word, only that God has spoken very clearly elsewhere on subjects like the nature of Christ's sacrifice, and we shouldn't ignore those words.
quote:Christ is already down from the cross. Even the verse in Revelation 5 says that He was standing, not lifted up on the cross. I urge you to remember that Christ is seated on a throne, not hanging on a cross right now. :cheers:
In closing, referring to our Glorified Body state, I suppose that God Himself might allow us to "see" things of the past, if that would suit his Will. Of course, I don't say that God would let us see FUTURE things in that state, because, once we are raised to our Glorfied Bodies on the Last Day, there will be no "future" any longer. There will only be the Eternal State of God's Eternal Presence. And you know? I wonder whether that Lamb standing crucified and slain in Heaven might then be allowed to come down from that Cross?

quote:I don't have a problem with what the Bible says, but how you (or Rome, in particular) interpret it.
This is all well and good, except for one thing, Foo - what the Bible says.
Revelation isn't a great book to use as the definitive source for dogma. It's an apocryphal book with a lot of symbolism, that most Christians don't fully understand or even know how to properly interpret. That isn't to say we can't use Revelation as a source for our understanding, but that Revelation should be a help for other, more clear passages, versus the primary book we develop doctrine from, especially if it seems to contradict other more clear passages.
quote:I think you missed my point in my response. In your analogy, a broken arm that is not properly healed may remain "broken" in some sense, but that's not what we're talking about in terms of a comparison to what Jesus did on the cross. An adult with an arm that was broken as a child that hasn't fully healed does not say that their arm is breaking, but that it was broken in time, and still has the effects of that one-time break.
The Bible says that Jesus Christ, in His Glorified Body, stands in Heaven, still bearing the wounds of His Sacrifice. They have not healed. They are, to use your word: "ongoing."
Just as if when you were a 6 year old child, you broke your arm. And then at age 35 you are an adult man, but your broken arm never healed. It's still broken and your suffering from the broken arm is ongoing.
With Christ, His sacrifice was one time, not continual.
The analogy also breaks down, because, as I pointed out previously, Jesus is no longer on the cross. He's no longer receiving the wrath of God on Him for our sins. He's no longer in the grave. He's no longer crying out, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
Jesus is alive. His body is glorified. He is in Heaven. He is ruling and reigning at the right hand of the Father. He no longer thirsts or hungers. As Jesus, Himself, said, "it is finished".
The punishment that Christ took for sinners is complete and over with. He no longer continues to suffer for sin.
quote:You are making an entire theology out of essentially one verse in Revelation, and it doesn't even say Jesus continually bears His wounds and is suffering. In that part of the vision, John sees Christ represented as a lamb slain (past tense) and receiving glory for the salvation of His people.
I found this on the internet and I like the way that this gentleman adds some thoughts to the conversation.
" CHRIST, THE LAMB SLAIN, STANDING
In Revelation 5:6, we get a glimpse into the vision that the apostle John sees at the throne of God. John sees a Lamb STANDING, as if slain, with seven horns and seven eyes.
THE SEVEN HORNS AND EYES
The horn in Scripture is a symbol for strength and authority. The number seven is God’s perfect number for the work of God.
The seven eyes are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. This takes us back to Genesis 1 when the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters, forming it and filling it, bringing forth life. This is a reference to the perfect life giving work of the Holy Spirit in all the earth.
BUT WHY IS THE LAMB STANDING AS IF SLAIN?
Jesus is the Lamb of God that was slain. In this vision, He is standing in the midst of the throne. The Greek word for standing here is “hestekos”, which means ‘standing’, but not in the physically upright position, but “standing” as in continually everlasting, and it draws on the Jewish temple service of the priests in the daily, continual offerings of animal sacrifices for sin.
The priests were not allowed to sit down because sin never stopped, so their work never ended.
However, Christ’s sacrifice is a continual, standing, everlasting, once for all sacrifice, as THE LAMB slain!
The Jewish priests were continually standing, literally, but Jesus Christ is the everlasting High Priest, whose own blood shed as the true Lamb of God that was slain, stands forever. HIS sacrifice took away the sin of the world (John 1:29).
Jesus the Lamb and His sacrifice stands forever with seven horns, with all strength and authority over the whole earth, as His Spirit gives life!
Let’s give praise and thanks for the sacrifice of the Lamb of God, who took away the sin of the world forever! Amen! "
The Bible says that Jesus Christ is standing in Heaven, bearing the wounds of His Sacrifice right now. Let the people read, study, pray and decide for themselves what that means for their lives.
The first chapter actually sets the stage, where Jesus says that He died (past tense) and is now alive forevermore, with the keys to death and hades, showing His current power over death.
Chapter 5 is not expressing what Christ is doing, but describing Him as to why He is worthy of worship and praise.
Chapter 6 and so on then shows how Christ is living and active, opening scrolls, and sitting in judgement, even expressing wrath towards the wicked.
Chapter 7 shows Christ the lamb as a living shepherd.
Chapters 11-14 show Christ the lamb as standing victorious over His enemies.
The final chapters show Christ ruling and reigning, not merely appearing dead and wounded.
So what we have here is a verse in one chapter giving an image of Christ's death as a description of what He took on to save sinners. The rest of the book shows Him living, ruling, reigning, and judging, not dead and wounded forever.
As I said, you are making an entire theology out of an unclear verse and ignoring the rest of Scripture. That only proves to me that you do not seek to get your theology from the Bible, but from men, who use the Bible to justify their man-made doctrines.
quote:I, too, would like to know more about what our glorified state will be like. I don't think we'll be omnipresent, though, because of the limitations of the human nature :cheers:
I have nothing further to say on the topic OTHER THAN as a side issue, I sure wish we could know more about our Glorified Bodies that we will have when Christ raises us on the Last Day. I think it's going to be the same as Jesus's Glorified Body, but, like I said, I'm not sure.

It doesn't mean that a team that wins is the better team necessarily, only that they won that particular matchup on that particular day. It is what it is, and a win is a win, but you can't say the rankings are wholly inaccurate or not representative of reality just because a team does well in the playoffs.
That’s not true. Had Miami lost to Florida State by two touchdowns (rather than beating them by 22 like they actually did), they probably would have missed the Playoff entirely. Other teams had the luxury of that type of loss being overlooked. And they’ve actually had that type of luxury for quite awhile.

The current outcomes do not mean the rankings were not accurate. It means that when you have top-10 matchups with high stakes on the line, that even the better teams can lose.
