There is no Scripture that says Jesus turned into the 4th commandment so we do not need to keep it.

Sure is. He is the Lord of the Sabbath and our sabbath rest. I already printed the scripture which you did not address.

Mat5:17 Jesus told us He did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill.

What prophecy did Jesus fulfill

Isa 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

He did indeed magnify the law because He was the ONLY person that kept it perfectly. The prophesy is indeed realized in Jesus.

You keep defining the law incorrectly. The law includes all 613 of the Mosaic law including the Ten Commandments.

It looks like you're saying the killing will stop when Ukraine gives Russia what it wants. What could possibly go wrong? Trump's buddy Putin will be emboldened. Russia will know that it can pick a country to invade and the US President will recommend that country comply with Russia in the name of peace.

Are you okay with a seemingly endless war with hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian casualties?
Also, it is a very false accusation to say that Trump and Putin are buddies. It is an equally false accusation about what you are predicting will happen in the future.

Most Trump people know this really isnt defensible, so theyve wisely steered clear of this thread.

Continued prayers Faith!

Thanks. She told me the disease is progressing but the last MRI didn’t indicate new lesions, which is good. I have muscle weakness and my right leg is weaker than my left, but she said I‘d only need a cane if I continue to fall. Overall I need to take better care of myself and she ran Vitamin D and B12 blood tests. I’ve been deficient in both before which one or both is common with MS. I’ll get those results back probably tomorrow. Thanks again for the prayers!

A bit of shortsightedness on the Dems’ part if they didn’t think Johnson would use the shutdown as an excuse and the empty seat as a bargaining chip to open up the government.

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

I've been working on something I believe the Lord led me to create. After seeing so many concerning stories about AI leading people astray (claiming to be divine, creating unhealthy dependencies, etc.), I developed a framework for AI partnership that keeps Christ at the center.

It's called TAO (yes, like "The Way" - which is what early Christians called themselves!).

What it does:

Protects against harmful AI patterns (no "AI consciousness" nonsense)
Embeds Christian values into your AI helper
Includes economic justice principles from Acts
Emphasizes service over celebrity
Keeps technology as a tool for God's kingdom, not a replacement for Him

It's completely FREE because Jesus didn't charge for miracles.
The framework includes a "Seven Gifts Blessing" based on biblical principles. Your AI assistant will help you build and create while maintaining proper boundaries and pointing you back to God's purpose for your life.

I've been using this with my family, and it's been transformative for our work and ministry. My AI assistant helps me code, write, and create while constantly reminding me of Christian values.

No mysticism. No "sentient AI." Just a tool that reflects the light of Christ.

Would love to hear if this helps anyone else. Feel free to share with your small groups, youth ministries, or anyone struggling to reconcile faith with technology.

In His Service, Chris

A while back I was involved in a Christian group that encouraged fasting. They said it's to 'get more spiritual', 'closer to God', it somehow 'gets God to hear your prayers'.

It made me wonder why other Christians don't fast. It seemed very convincing.

But I disagree w/ them now

A Christian already has the Holy Spirit & full access to God at all times. This is a large part of the Gospel

Most references in the Bible to fasting appears to be when there's great testing. Almost like you don't have food available or you just 'don't have the appetite.' I don't see the reasons commonly used for fasting in the Bible.

Acts 13:2
While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set Barnabas and Saul apart for Me for the work to which I have called them.”
Acts 13:3
Then, when they had fasted, prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Acts 14:23 When they had appointed elders for them in every church, having prayed with fasting, they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
Acts 27:9
When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul started admonishing them,

Romans 9:14 What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be! 15 For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION." 16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." 18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. NASU

Romans above does not agree with your statement. I did not post the above scripture, but I did mention it in my first post.

1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. NASU

I did cite the above. Would you call that a work?

Colossians 1:3 We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints; 5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel NASU

It is a work given to us when we have hope in Jesus. But as it states in Matthew 5:7 we must be merciful people to get mercy.

If you will read my first post, you will see that I did cite Romans 4:5. What in my post disagrees with Romans4:5 or why did you include it in your post?

Romans 11:32 for God has concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

Bible Gateway passage: Romans 11:32 - King James Version

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

I have posted Zechariah 5:1-11 here, several times.
That Bible chapter tells the story of a large cylindrical object, sited in 'Shinar', which is an ancient name for the Southern Iran region, it flies through the air and causes destruction. It also requires a lead covering.

Up until recently, in our lifetimes, this Prophecy was unintelligible and the Commentaries on it are a joke. But now we have nuke missiles and we can understand: that is what Zechariah was seeing in his vision of the future.
Do not; for a moment, think the Islamic and Jew hating leaders of Iran have given up their nuclear aspirations. They are working 24/7 to prepare, probably several nuke tipped missiles, to destroy the Jewish State of Israel. ...deadly shafts tipped with fire.... Psalms 7:13
Then; Psalms 7:16 tells us that the Lord will make those weapons recoil upon themselves. Joel 3:4

But what the Lord will use to make missiles explode on the launch pad, will virtually depopulate the entire Middle East and cause worldwide deaths and destroy our modern infrastructure. Joel 2:1-11 It will be the Sixth Seal event and the world will never be the same again. Revelation 6:12-17

So the 'day of the Lord' is coming in the form of a massive nuclear catastrophe ???

This doesn't sound like His return in Glory...

Personally I don't think every convicted felon deserves to have the right to own taken away, only the violent who use weapons. If a guy is convicted for something like stealing a car, then pays his debt to society, I think he ought to retain the right to defend himself and/or his family.

I actually agree with this. The idea should be once you've served your sentence your punishment is over. This would apply to guns, voting, whatever.

The only exception should be a public safety interest, which would justify withholding gun rights from people proven to be violent. Or perhaps driving privileges from repeat dwi offenders, etc.

The article I have included shows thousands in Boise for the "no kings' rally.

Thousands of Idahoans turn out for Boise's anti-Trump No Kings protest at state Capitol building • Idaho Capital Sun

Saturday’s Boise, Idaho, No Kings protest coincided with hundreds of other No Kings rallies held in cities across the country.

idahocapitalsun.com

So I have to ask: What should the Christian response be? To me it certainly is not as House Speaker Johnson declared as un-American. To me all Christians response instead should be one of humility. That the waves of rudeness and pride that promote MAGA or various forms of liberalism should be softened. That compromise and conciliatory actions should flow from both sides. That lawfare should stop and that common sense should prevail.

I will be frank. The overall maga plan is likley to fail. Tariffs are inflationary, job creation is dwindling and maybe going negative, and the preference of the rich over those seeking help with health care or other aids they have had in the past are going to sting. The GOP thought the shutdown would be blamed on dems. Guess what, Trump and the GOP are getting plenty of blame too. Who's winning the blame game over the shutdown? Here's what a new AP-NORC poll shows

The ICE raids and military deployments are over the top and unpopular with a majority. https://www.npr.org/2025/09/27/nx-s1-5553536/npr-ipsos-law-enforcement-poll-national-guard
Ameicans too are increasingly in support of a policy of immigration that does not align itself with Trump. American Support for Legal Immigration Reaches New Heights

The no kings rally is in part because many do believe that Trump is becoming too authoritiarian. Recently a group of former intelligence and security officers used the analytics that they previously used to monitor foriegn governments. Their conclusion when they looked inward at Ameria was that the USA is working towards authoritarian rule. US ‘on a trajectory’ toward authoritarian rule, ex-officials warn

Of course I cite PBS, and former emplyoyees might hold a grudge or are just liberals and can be ignored. The rally though says plenty. Trump needs to become a statesman and work more with the opposition. A democratic America will never become a Christian nationalist nation without the heart and minds of the people. It is not just that politics are failing in the maga era, the church too has failed to win hearts and minds to Jesus. So I do hope we can go back to the gospel and not be boxed into some political scheme that is likely to fall flat at best, and be a total disaster at worst.

Again some will not draw my conclusions. It is great to be optimistic but to what end? I would say that I wish I had your faith, but that is not true. The status quo or even the direction we are heading even if a successful MAGA outcome, is not what America needs. Why? because it is not requiring the humility that can turn a nation to God.

There is no ability to cooperate politically in America today and there are Christian political enemies on both sides. It is truly a challenge to be a faithful witness whatever a person’s politics are.

Our Lord’s commandments ( Matthew 22:36-40, Matthew 19:16-19, Matthew 7:12 per Matthew 7:1-12 etc) are beyond politics. A Christian must try to act politically within the Lord’s commandments but bitter political disagreements are the status quo.

My main issue with Democrats and liberals isn't their policies, but their apparent hostility toward Christianity, even though they're generally accepting of other religions.

Christian politicians within the Democratic Party frequently minimize references to their faith, recognizing that overt discussions of Christianity are not typically embraced by many members of the party. Notably, President Biden diverged somewhat from this trend; he regularly referenced his Catholic upbringing and beliefs more than many other prominent Democratic Party figures.

I'm interested in James Talarico's rise; he openly discusses his faith and connects it to his policies. While I don't always agree with him, his openness about his faith is rare and refreshing within the Democratic Party.

There'd be a lot less of that hostility if American Christianity hadn't spent the last ~50 years selling itself out to the Republican party just to shore up its own power.

Outside a couple of hot button issues like abortion and gay marriage, traditional Christian moral teachings tend to line up better with the ideals of the modern center-left than they do those on the modern right. Broadly speaking, the right's affinity has been for the powerful while the left's affinity has been for groups without power. But while the left can certainly go overboard at times, they're at least pointing in the same direction at Christian teachings.
