    What has theology taught you?

    As an aside to my rant above. I'm a participant in Alcoholics Anonymous. We all read the SAME book. "Alcoholics Anonymous" There are NO denominations of Alcoholics Anonymous. Recovery is spelled out very nicely in just 12 steps. It works. A.A. works. People fail. The Bible works. People fail.

    What has theology taught you?

    What has theology taught you? That there are at least 33,000 denominations of Christians all reading the same book. That if one wants to understand the Bible one must study it ALL and not draw conclusions from a few verses. "Spare the rod and spoil the child" does not mean to hit children. Duh...

    Police shoot 13 year old who pulled BB gun

    About the FORTH broken back. Perhaps I should have shot the guy. He did a few months in jail. I did NINE months in rehab learning to walk again. I served 22.5 years and took a piddling disability pension. It's o.k. though. I went to college at age 48, earned two degrees and retired again from...

    I'm a retired police officer. (disabled in the line. 4th broken back!) I almost shot a 15 year old with a "toy" handgun. It was a pellet gun.

    Meat cleaver madman, a Palestinian national, was in Midtown appealing deportation order

    Anti-gun people will say "BAN MEAT CLEAVERS". The answer to crime is to ban everything. England has legislation in the works to REGISTER kitchen knives. They have laws in effect to register other sharp instruments now and have had for a long time. The Bat'leth weapon, Worf of Star Trek, is...

    The Day the Internet Died

    Something else to worry about! Hilary getting elected. Trump getting elected. Muslims take over the U.S. Ancient aliens are real and run the world. Alfred E. Neuman is still alive and is with Elvis. Oh, woe is me.:confused::confused::confused:

    How can the grace of God be resisted by some yet received by others?

    "How can the grace of God be resisted by some yet received by others?" Really? Isn't that a matter of personal beliefs or lack of beliefs? "If you don't wanna you ain't gonna."

    The Doctrine of Eternal Torture in Hell

    I'd venture to speculated that ALL members of ALL those denominations believe their denominations is true and accurate. So it begs the question...............which one if the true "faith and belief"? Frankly I know that I know not.:preach: Is it the Westboro Baptists that preach "God hates...

    Developmentally delayed

    @Hannah. Great post and it does feel so much better to love than to hate. I suffered many injuries, even was crippled, when I was a police officer and I hate no one. Frankly I don't even recall their names or what they look like. I prayed for THEM, not me. "God give them the same spiritual gifts...

    The Proof That Trees Have Souls

    Sadly a LOT of people talk through an ass. ( I'm sorry. An apology in advance of critics being offended somehow.) Sampson slew with the jawbone of an ass. Some people still slay with the same instrument on a regular basis. ^^That wasn't directed at anyone here of course.:D
