You were discussing health care.

What specifically about healthcare?

Vambram said:
I provided an article with facts showing that the Democratic Party wants to provide free health care to illegal immigrants.

List these facts, and explain how (you think) they refute my argument.

It feels like I'm teaching a middle school debate class. Yeesh.

Focus on your own path, worry less about God guiding others.

What a perfectly lost thing to say. I was indwelt by Ruah the moment I was save and from that moment forward I am witnessing to lost men and women. A Christian wants none to suffer the Lake of Fire and same sex people will burn there.

I would strongly advise everyone who hasn't put themselves through it to follow your example. It's not recommended for those without a robust constitution.

Yes. There is a shrinking but vocal group that seems completely fine with what's happenning over there.

The majority of Americans still support Isreal, despite the rhetoric from the left.

The seventh day is the Sabbath Exo 20:10 - the meeting was held Saturday evening.

Which is the first day not the seventh day.

SabbathBlessings said:
Nothing that is stated in the Text other than breaking bread which means eating.

In this context it means communion just as Jesus stated in 1 Cor. 11.

SabbathBlessings said:
Exo20:11Mark2:27 Lev23:3 and there is nothing about eating a meal on a Saturday night about a weekly Christian service.

Sure there is. Verses have been posted already.

SabbathBlessings said:
It doesn't say every in the original Greek

1Co 16:2 Upon the firstG2596 G3391 day of the weekG4521 let every oneG1538 of youG5216 layG5087 byG3844 himG1438 in store,G2343 asG3748 G302 God hath prosperedG2137 him, thatG2443 there beG1096 noG3361 gatheringsG3048 when(G3752) I come.G2064

Several translations included “every” as part of the translation and am sure they know more than an amateur theologian like you. Secondly, “every” would be obvious since Paul’s exhortation meant exactly that. This was not an exhortation for one time but for many.

SabbathBlessings said:
notice it says there will be NO GATHERINGS when he comes for the collection.

A gathering is where giving was done. Even in the Jewish services tithing was done at the service.

SabbathBlessings said:
Yes, one has to go outside the Holy Word of God for Sunday sanctification just as we were warned Acts 20:9 Dan7:25

There was no Bible yet when they wrote. There was a collection of many different books circulation among the churches. Just as God used people to recognize and develop the cannon, God also used people to tell the Christian story then. I have no problem using the ECF to help with historical testimony and data.

Free clinics are generally funded by charities in our hometown. And if you're talking about the state-run health departments, they give out vaccines and condoms and not much else.

My husband came to America and went to a federal run health clinic in order to get medication and was only on a visa at the time (not a work visa and wasnt allowed to work). Granted that's not undocumented, but it's also not green card holder status either and he was given medical care and medication.

The shutdown is merely exposing the difficult truth that no-one notices when the government is shut down.

If no-one even notices or cares that the government is shut down, how important can it really be?

It's been less than 24 hours, and plenty of people have noticed.

Colo Millz said:
And by the way, even if "essential" services are kept open - does that mean that the government funds "non-essential" services?

Some services are deemed more essential than others. Just because a task can be put off for a few days or a few weeks does not mean that it isn't essential.

White House memo says Democrats' plan could spend $200B on healthcare for illegal immigrants

A White House memo argues that repealing healthcare provisions from the Working Families Tax Cut Act would fund healthcare for illegal immigrants and non-citizens.

Check out this article which refutes what you have said about free federally funded health-care for illegal immigrants.

Logically, more disdain for Israel has to happen if one believes that Israel will be attacked in the end times. Because if that prophecy is a true interpretation, then America is either too weak, or too anti-Israeli to help them any longer. The big question though is Trump helping facilitate the changing opinion of Americans on the Israel? After all Trump's unwavering support is enabling Netanyahu to be so bold.

Another pro tip for you. Sometimes a question is just a simple hypothetical. Did you really think it needed a response?*

Two posts later -

Oi vey. We shouldn't have to live like this.

I wish to put everyone here on notice: I will no longer be responding to blind posts. There should be no need to explain things that have already been explained for the sake of people who don't follow threads. (Pro-tip: they're meant to be followed. That's why they're called "threads".)

Not necessarily. See my post about how the market stays in flux. I've watched local agriculture change all my life, and it will continue to change long after I'm gone. That's the nature of agriculture. The one thing that most farmers have learned the hard way is that you don't go into something where you don't have a market.

Agriculture has changed so much in the US that it's unreal. Florida and part of Georgia was once known as cattle country. Once saw in an old Sears & Roebuck catalog cattle whips billed as being in the Florida and Georgia pattern. Then there were the sheep shears I found growing up, and learned from my father that sheep were once a going thing locally. I know of where there were rice plantations where rice hasn't been grown for more than a century. We used to grow tobacco. Before that, sugarcane. I've seen local fields of canola. And, as I pointed out, locally I haven't seen soybeans, but farmers planted a lot of peanuts this year. At one point I thought cotton was finished locally, but then it came back. The same for corn. Now, this year, have seen less cotton and even less corn planted. It all changes.

Flux is one thing. But this is a recipe for decline across the industry. Net loss of customers, shrunken overall market for US ag, after it all shakes out.

The problem with claims of absolute morality is that we have to trust those who claim to have a source of absolute morality. I do not find any of them trustworthy.

This aligns with what I often say: those that think there is an objective morality believe that somehow it's theirs.

Yeah, I don't believe you.

Attorneys for Abrego Garcia filed an emergency motion Monday to reopen his immigration case in order to seek asylum, arguing that because Abrego Garcia was deported and then brought back to the U.S., he is now eligible to apply for asylum within one year of his last entry into the U.S.

Chutzpah motion does not work.

O see, telling the truth is now anti-Islamic propaganda. How convenient. In the website it provides where the religion says its okay to lie to infidels. Im not going to go through it. The website provides the information.

It's a garbage site. Common sense should tell you that a website that intentionally mocks Islam by calling itself "The Religion of Peace," isn't going to be truthful about what that religion teaches.

Some Churches still do agape meals, such as the Protestant Moravian Church. It’s not Holy Communion- but it’s sharing a sacred meal together?

This is a market that now appears to be lost. Of course people who want to continue farming will need to shift. But overall the market for US farmed goods has now declined. So any existing markets that farmers enter will just be more crowded and difficult.

One frustration I have had to cope with is being called to an Anglican Church when my life has included breaking bread with friends and alone.

Such a practice is not permitted.

As a household head it was normal practice for me.

It seems institutionalisation has not only migrated away from the family locus and taken this important sacrament with it, but even banned anyone else from remembering Jesus in this way.

This reminds me of the situation with the church I was attending during COVID-19. Because we could not meet as a single body of approximately 40, we divided into three house meetings, one of which met in my home. We continued to have communion weekly and all was going quite splendidly until another member chastised me severely for hosting an illegitimate church meeting. His rationale was that there was not an elder there to oversee the meeting. Ironically, the elders of the church disagreed with him.

Matthew 10:16 (ESV)
16 “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

It is hard to judge the intent of the person's heart. Could be they are more interested in freindship, or it could be they just are trying to get you saved. If it is the opposite sex, it could be they are interested to find out if you are a Christian. That would be wise before asking someone out. Too shy to ask directly, but hopeful.

I was taught friendship evangelism and use that model all the time. I do not set out to do it in a disingenous way. I truly care about any person I attempt to friend and at some point hope to share, invite them to church etc. I will say that I think that everyone should evangelize at times to reach a large number of people. But there are some instance too where the quality of the relationship is important.

To me getting the card or tract is meaningful and caring. Even if that person was simply being nice to share the gospel, where is the harm? Be more worried about those wanting money, sex, adoration or other selfish reasons for initiating a relationship.
