It certainly could be.Spitting on someone is
Please note it is referring to a girl or young woman. Which has always been a reference to their sex. And this girl exhibits masculine traits, which is typically a reference she likes to do things boys like to do, such as hunt, fish, wrestle or play tackle football. The question quickly becomes is can't you be a girl inside and out and still like to do those things?I did before I posted. (checks again) Yep. Still the same:
"A girl or young woman who exhibits masculine traits through her activities, behaviors and style."
Who calls a trans person a tomboy? What in earth is your point here? Where did you get the idea that tomboys are trans? Can't some girls like some boy things and still be girls? Who made the rule that if you are a tomboy you must be trans? (Or even lesbian).Why is trans OK with you if you get to call a trans person a "Tomboy? instead of a "boy?" If being trans is a sin, it's a sin whether you call a trans person a tomboy or a boy. Could you also say "butch" or "dyke" without offending your religious sensibilities?
She is still going on crying jags. It’s hard. We’ve been helping her with the financial aspect of things, death certificates, etc. We’ll be contacting an attorney this week to help walk her through the legalities for her protection and security.Yeah I heard about that im sorry for your loss too. I remember seeing about his loss in October. Not sure if I replied to the thread or not i cant remember but Jeanette and I have been praying for your sister in law too. How's your sister in law been coping with the loss?
At the start there is now a title screen which asks if you want blood and gore or not. If you choose no it goes to the "Unbrutal Bible Bubblebaths" title screen and there is no blood or chopping. Originally I had groans and sighs instead of screaming but a Christian gave a negative review saying things like:Isn't making a game that glorifies violence
I don't think it is glorifying sexual immorality because the soldiers and you need to kill those people.and sexual immorality a gross sin against the Lord?
It is cartoonish though. Also there are a large number of games that glorify violence like the Doom games and Mortal Kombat. But I'm including gameplay that is based on Bible passages.The LORD examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates those who love violence. Psalm 11:5
Well what you and the soldiers do involves the consquences.The Bible does not glorify violence.
Rather, these accounts are there that we can learn from them how God feels about them, and the consequences.
Well in the gameplay you are the punishment for those kinds of things.In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal fire. Jude 1:7
I thought I'd portray things that are normally ignored in Bible games, etc. If there was no "Sinful Temple" in the game then the player wouldn't really understand why they need to kill everything that breathes.If God did not recount these things for his people, they would not have clear examples that would help them avoid falling into the same conduct.
Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. 1 Corinthians 10:6
I have in mind making a game based on the Bible, but it will be playable by all - adults and children, and both entertaining and educational.
I will certainly not be glorifying what God hates.
lol
That's a good point. In my experience of inviting homeless people into a church ministry someone has to go the extra mile to make them feel welcome, because many of the members will consciously or subconsciously give them the cold shoulder. It can work well and be a tremendous blessing to the homeless visitors (and to the church to fulfill their calling), but someone will have to go that extra mile. God Bless YouNot all churches are internally ready to host/welcome homeless believers in their fellowship (thinking of The Visit (Adrian Plass), 1999). They're usually the opposite of the ones who are welcomed because they can easily grow into leadership and pastoral roles, or contribute financially.
Is there something in the text here that references Daniel 2? I'm more interested in how John merges bits of the other beasts into one uber-beast. It's saying Rome is more powerful than all the previous empires. But it's also very universal in appeal - as in - this is Rome - but it could be any government that threatens God's people.The symbolism could still be relevant, but I don't think it's driving this particular interpretation. Daniel 2 shows us that the ten toes would try to cleave to one another but would ultimately fail. That is nationalism in a nutshell.
You sound like a reasonable person committed to reading God's word in context, and with reference to sensible theology. (And not just playing subjective "pin-the-tail-on-the-anti-Christ" like others here.)I have not seen it.
Absolutely. Wasn't there a new tribune installed at some point, and people required to turn up and swear allegiance?In John's time, the image was an image of Caesar that would be placed within a tribune to prove allegiance to Rome and its gods.
Across 2000 years? I'm not sure causation is demonstrated - but history certainly rhymes now and then.This was showcased to its zenith during the Diocletian Persecution. Asia Minor's culture leaned heavily into imperial cult, regardless of who ruled over them. That made its persecutions so much more devastating than those in Europe at that time. Crossing the contextual bridge, the torch passed easily to Soviet Russia, which began persecuting Christians and spreading Stalin's cult of personality after the Bolshevik Revolution.
The two criteria all seven churches were evaluated by, and a repetitive theme in Revelation, is bearing a faithful witness of Jesus to the world by keeping His testimony (forehead) and obeying God's commands (right hand). Deuteronomy 6 drives this home.
Hmmm - I'm not sure I've seen that as a pattern. The people I read seem to see Revelation as covering a multitude of themes, not necessarily linked in that way? Could you just add the chapters where you see this pattern emerging?An interesting observation is that every nation will turn against Christ at some point. Notice the formula:
1. The four horsemen wreak havoc on a kingdom
2. The people blame and persecute saints and prophets
3. People fill up their wickedness until God's wrath comes upon them
4. God gives that kingdom to people bearing "fruit" (deeds) for His kingdom

Just find another source. I purposely don't use Fox , Newsmax, and other right leaning outlets because I know what the reaction is going to beCommenting on the bias and/or reliability of a source is meaningless unless accompanied by refutation of the information presented in the article.
In correct. I was about to get solar panels put on (and then my basement had a leak nad needed to get replaced).
The system paid for itself in 20 years and most of the system had a 30yr warranty (certain things only being 15).
In the time I was considering it, max panel size available for sale went from 440W to 500W. So if I got the stronger panels it also paid off quicker.
Wind literally does nothing. They've painted one aerolon black and bird deaths went down 70%.
Lithium is extracted from the sea water.
It's not like O&G don't have problems at their extraction or processing points either so not sure what you're getting at.
People change their internal combustion engine cars like, every 10 years.... They don't last NEAAAARLY as long as a solar array on a rooftop would last.
The early congregation is our example.
