People are re-playing and picking apart his initial phone call with God's Voice Daily back from June. Joshua didn't even know about the rapture or what it was up until "he was told by this spirit". So that tells me the dude doesn't read his Bible nor would he or should he be elgible to pastorize any church. He's a fraud all front and centre and we are witnessing what a genuine idiot really is who believes every wind of doctrine but won't study to show himself approved. I mean, he's been sitting on this vision for 7 years and couldn't be bothered to test the spirit? God is never going to tell any human being when the rapture is. It's just not going to happen, which is why we're to be ready all the time.

Goodness gracious, I didn't even know Joshua said that. I'm glad people were pulling apart what he said and it irritates me that Vlad had a hand in making that guy go viral. People should stop tuning into Vlad now because he PROMOTED IT. He is just as much complicit in this as Joshua is. But I know people aren't going to do it... It makes me sick people just do not care that this was proven false and CONTINUE to listen to the pair of them.

This is exactly why God trained previous prophets. So they could tell the difference between God and Satan/minions. God is also NOT going to tell some random person to go proclaim something serious that has NOT been trained by God himself. That does not exist. First question to ask anyone who thinks God is telling them a message to go spread, "do you know how to test the spirits?" and if the answer is no, automatic false prophet. I guarantee it.

Do you think forcing a spouse against their will to engage in sexual intercourse is wrong?

Click to expand...

Yes. But in certain cultures, especially in the Middle East and South Asia, it is the duty of the wife to gratify the sexual needs of her husband. Therefore, in those cultures, spousal rape is often viewed as morally good when a wife refuses to fulfill her roll. Similar situation found in the Handmaid's Tale. Side note, handmaids do not wear red cloak and white bonnet, they wear black burkas.

If you have an example demonstrating that rape is not wrong then the claim would be factually incorrect.

Click to expand...

You are factually incorrect to say that everyone agrees rape is wrong. You are using a bandwagon fallacy by claiming rape is wrong because everyone agrees it is wrong.

God is not willing that any perish but that they all should come to repentance. This is essential and what is in saving faith with which any come to what Christ made possible for us.

It appears to me you are confusing the text with your interpretation of it. This is the basis of the argument. It does NOT say the sin of Adam is imputed. That's your interpretation. Can you see a difference? You approach the text with the preconceived idea that it means Adam's sin is imputed. But the text doesn't say that. So how you are reading the text is faulty.

Click to expand...

You are mistaking the absence of a single English word for the absence of the doctrine it names. That is the word–concept fallacy, assuming that if a particular word does not appear in a passage then the concept it names is absent from the passage. See D. A. Carson, Exegetical Fallacies, 2nd ed. (Baker Academic, 1996); Moisés Silva, Biblical Words and Their Meaning, rev. ed. (Zondervan, 1994); James Barr, The Semantics of Biblical Language (Oxford University Press, 1961).

Paul's forensic argument in Romans 5:14-19 embodies the very logic of imputation, namely, liability transferred on the basis of federal representation. The concept is structurally and contextually present, even though the technical English gloss "impute" is absent. Paul is arguing representationally and forensically:

• v. 13 uses ἐλλογέω ("count/charge/credit"): "sin is not counted where there is no law." The lexical field of imputation is already in the pericope.
  
  ​
• vv. 16, 18 uses κατάκριμα ("condemnation"): a courtroom term, not a mere description of corruption.
  
  ​
• v. 19 uses κατεστάθησαν ("by the one man's disobedience the many were made [κατεστάθησαν, constituted] sinners"): parallel to being constituted righteous in Christ; if you deny forensic imputation in Adam, you shipwreck the parallel that grounds justification in Christ (whatever κατεστάθησαν means for Adam must apply analogically to κατασταθήσονται for Christ).
  
  ​
• The verb is καθίστημι, which in Romans 5:19 is the aorist passive indicative, third person plural (κατεστάθησαν, constituted/appointed/made). Lexically, καθίστημι means to bring into a particular state or relation, to appoint, to make, to constitute (BDAG, s.v. καθίστημι). This range includes judicial or declarative senses. For example: Matthew 24:45, "whom his master has set over his household" (appointed to a role); Acts 7:10, Pharaoh "made him ruler" or governor (appointed, not transformed); Hebrews 5:1, "every high priest is appointed to act on behalf of men."

Romans 5:12-21 contrasts two representative heads, Adam and Christ. The governing ideas are judgment and condemnation versus justification and life, all forensic or covenantal categories. When Paul says the many were constituted sinners, he is not describing an ethical change in personal character but a judicial placement under condemnation through Adam's disobedience. The result—death reigned—follows from legal liability.

• Lexically: καθίστημι means to appoint, constitute, not become.
  
  ​
• Syntactically: The Adam–Christ parallel demands forensic symmetry.
  
  ​
• Contextually: The whole pericope revolves around judicial categories—sin/righteousness, judgment/life, condemnation/justification.
  
  ​
• Theologically: Denying the forensic sense in Adam undermines it in Christ.

I don't think so.

Surely, increasing access would increase costs .. not good. But how would increasing visits to a PCP provide a reversal to "declining birthrates, preventable risks like smoking, obesity, poor diet, and substance abuse"? Do you suppose that those who have developed such unhealthy lifestyles don't know that those lifestyles are unhealthy? Do they need to see a doctor to tell them so because they have no real friends who will tell them so for free?

My intention was not to suggest that marital rape was justified when the spouse denies intimacy. The intention was that depending on the circumstances, grace will be given to a spouse who is withholding intimacy.

When the state and local government give sanctuary status to illegal immigrants and instruct law enforcement not to cooperate with federal authorities it makes it kind of difficult to work with them

Click to expand...

The federal government faces notable difficulties in enforcing laws when local and state governments express opposition. Throughout American history, citizens have maintained diverse perspectives on governance. Nevertheless, for nearly 249 years, there has generally been cooperation among federal, state, and local authorities. In instances of conflict, the federal government often seeks to encourage alignment through persuasion.

Historically, the deployment of the National Guard against the wishes of a governor has been relatively rare, with only two presidents—Eisenhower in 1957 and Kennedy in 1962—taking such action within the first 249 years of the nation's history. In contrast, President Trump has authorized the deployment in three states within the past ten months.

The question of presidential authority to deploy the National Guard contrary to a governor’s wishes remains unresolved, as several courts have challenged President Trump’s actions. A definitive judgment on this matter awaits a ruling from the Supreme Court.

Regardless of legal authority, it is worth considering whether a nation should routinely allow federal power to supersede local government and enforce laws irrespective of local sentiment. While such measures may currently enjoy support, opinions could shift if future administrations pursue similar strategies without local consensus.

You can argue that the federal government is only enforcing laws because of local government actions. However, once the federal government exceeds its power, this practice will likely continue beyond President Trump's term. If that's the country you want, remember, future presidents—liberal or conservative—may use these precedents to justify similar actions.

I definitely wouldn't want to live in a country like that. Even with its flaws, I prefer America's system over the past 249 years, where federal and local governments have cooperated and resolved disagreements through the courts.

However, I recognize that my perspective is not widely shared. It has become increasingly clear that both conservative and liberal groups, upon attaining power, seek to impose their way of life on others. Consequently, we may need to prepare for significant challenges ahead.

While I'm at it, I'd suggest you try to do some fitness training in the little spare time you have left. I'm diabetic and while I'm not too bad, I remember a chap I used to pick up as a community transport driver. He was in a wheelchair.

One day he said to me "I'm in this wheel chair because I used to do what you do." I asked him what he was talking about. He said he used to drive a cab, twelve hour days, no exercise, junk food, insufficient sleep and all the rest. He got Diabetes and eventually lost part of both legs. A year or two later he had gone.

I picked up a few diabetic passengers in wheelchairs like him, and I often found that after another couple of years they'd died due to diabetic complications.

So try to look after your health, even though you haven't got much time for yourself.
