If that was the case He would have said so. In that case He would have said the world was flooded, not just "land." There's no way to parse one's way out of accepting that God did not say the world was flooded.

Indeed. This is the kind of thing that we often see from KJV-only people. Neglecting what the words actually mean in Hebrew leads one astray.

You gave me your revision of His words. As you learned, God didn't say that the flood was worldwide. Instead of "the world" (tevel) He said "the land" (erets). You might not realize that "erets" means an area, like "erets Israel" (the land of Israel). But there it is. Instead of relying on your own wishes, why not just accept God's word?

Don't be a scoffer; listen to Him.

I gave you "THE WORD" not my words....and just as you said the flood covered all "the land".

As you should know that if you say there was a world wide flood - you are obviously just referring to the land of the world flooding.

God in his wisdom said the Land was flooding....not the world as we would say.

So you are correct...Noahs flood only flooded "the land" of the earth.

Don't be crabby - be smart.

"Biden was not letting people come in illegally."
Yes he did, by the millions.
Jesus Christ was not a displaced immigrant

He was for a time with Joseph and Mary when they fled to Egypt.

They can no longer be considered Eastern after the diaspora. Now they're multicultural, just like the United States, made up of immigrants from over 100 countries.

...If any two countries in the world should be supporting Israel, it's the United States and the United Kingdom.

The issue is not support, but uncritical support.

A religion is a way of life. What distinction do you have in mind?

God’s Will is we serve each other in need. Man’s will is we serve the religion, as the Sanhedrin also did

The millions of illegal immigrants should be deported.

BeckyJ said:
Yes they should!!

@BeckyJ question to ponder .... no answer required ...
Should all idolators be deported ?
(if they do not turn from their wicked ways and start to seek God)
(Many are already 'legal' citizens.)

Because a fiction genre is not part of the Bible.

How do you know?

Hentenza said:
Subjective interpretations are valid such as God not having wings, etc. The creation story is not subjective in my opinion since I still believe that God is responsible for all of creation.

So do many people who have favored a non-literal interpretation over the last couple of thousand years.

Hentenza said:
Again, like any other book the text is interpreted based on context, the authors meaning, and literary structure. There are also literary devices to consider.

Correct.

Hentenza said:
When you read a book, do you start with an objective or subjective understanding?

Neither one. You have to read the book first.

Neither.

So you read a sentence in a book what is your expectation? Is it literal or not? Do you read the sentence literally?

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen

The laws are already on the books. You pose an intriguing question. How do we address an Administration that is derelict in their duty to uphold the law, and protect the American people?

The law presented in the book involves multiple complexities. Refer to my post #5 for further details. The asylum law discussed adds additional layers to immigration law. Stating that the law is already established and should be followed does not take into account a thorough evaluation of all relevant laws.

Premillennialism is a man made doctrine. A Millennium on earth is a man made doctrine. A rapture is merely Paul easing the minds of first century Christians on the subject of those who have died before them. Are they saved? He tells them they would rise first and those who are alive will join them in the air to meet Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Very poetic! But not meant to be a doctrine by any means.
Blessings

Well said, my sister in Christ!

Then will there be inequality of love in Heaven? Will the heavenly love between those who were married on earth be greater in any way that the general love among all in Heaven?

Will those who had few or even no love in the present time thus be eternally short on love in heaven compared to others who enjoyed many loves on earth?

I really don’t know. I assume in heaven, our love for one another will be perfected?

It could have been worse in the latter part of the last century. But now they do intensive screening and reporting, and for many many years the number of new credible abuse cases has been in the single digits.

Yup. Most of credibly accused priests are long dead or out of ministry.

That is a popular and accepted use of the word "interpretation(s)" , but in truth no interpretation (of the Bible) is needed, per se. For example (poor example perhaps), God does have wings, and legs, and thighs, hahaha
He owns the cattle on a thousand hills ! ALL creation is His.

Very interesting looking Church! Thanks for sharing!

Two Texas moms were forced to wait for urgent care after pregnancy loss. They died

At the outset of Texas’ abortion ban, medical experts worried pregnant women would die from delays in care. The Dallas Morning News examined two such cases.

I can't read the story, but it seems relevant.

Praying for all pregnant women everywhere!

This has probably been the church leaderships biggest error: trying to “look good” to those who are in darkness and abandoning faithfully obeying Gods word.

Trying to keep one foot in the bible and one foot in the world. And has brought on an expected spiritual catastrophe. Instead we should renounce the world and walk after Christ with no reservations.

Holy lady, Ora pro nobis.
