The cost would be enormous, but we're already paying an enormous amount for healthcare. As an example, my health insurance costs about $700/month, and it's not even that good - I have a fairly high deductible. My employer covers most of it as a benefit to me, but that doesn't change the amount being spent.

It's not about the money. The point is, you don't deserve any health care unless you earn it by being employed, and then only what your employer decides to give you.

Again... do we torture chafe/weeds or do we delete them? The words wouldn't be used if the human concept was not similar.

So you believe that Gods creation that is made after his image is just a weed? If we were just weeds why did God create us, and why would he die for weeds?

Patricia Routledge, English actress best known for playing Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet) on Keeping Up Appearances, has died in her sleep at age 96.

She was an Anglican.

Loved that show!

May she rest in peace and rise to glory!

Any right wingers able to help us understand why Republicans aren't as excited to get the Epstein files released suddenly?

Boy...what changes in a year.

No I'm not sold on government healthcare in the US. Its a very big country and the cost would be ENORMOUS. I dont think Americans are ready for the tax structure it would take to make it work or the other issues that would surround it.

I'm kind of surprised my Diocese isn't on there. Maybe it's not big enough. It has "only" 90-something churches in the Diocese.

Mine isn’t on there, either.

Lol. Police state.

Defined: A police state is a country where a repressive government maintains strict control over the population, often using a national police force, especially secret police, to suppress dissent and monitor citizens' activities. In a police state, civil liberties are severely restricted, and freedoms of speech, assembly, and expression are curtailed to enforce government policy and maintain social order.

Yuh huh

No, it was speculated about and post #336. Something about imputation.

Feel free to Biblically demonstrate the error in my post #336, following:

"We don't 'become inherently guilty of possessing someone else's sin' (Eze 18:20),
nor are we acquitted of inheriting/possessing someone else's sin that we don't possess.
Guilt of someone else's sin must be imputed to us (Ro 5:17), charged to our account,
as righteousness was imputed to Abraham (Ge 15:6), charged to his account, it was not inherited.

Humanity became guilty of Adam's sin by imputation of Adam's sin (Ro 5:17,
the only sin that caused death between Adam and Moses, Ro 5:14, when there was no law to sin against to cause man's death, Ro 4:15), just as humanity becomes righteous by imputation of Christ's righteousness (Ro 5:18-19).

Both guilt of Adam's sin and righteouness of Christ are imputed to mankind (Ro 5:18-19)."

fhansen said:
No, you got Scripture wrong. There's a difference between man and the way God deals with him before and after the Fall. Do you deny that man changed in some manner, as a result of the fall, that he existed in a whole new state of being? Was he really only declared to be unrighteous? Can you tell me why none are righteous in that case, why all sin?

First, address what is on the table. . .i.e., Biblically demonstrate the error of my post #336, then we will go from there.

How do you know it is God's voice talking to you about climate change and the state of the banks?

Speaking of banks, 7 more houses collapsed on the Outer Banks due in part to sea level rise due to climate change.

'Such a difficult problem’: UNC professor suggest solutions after 19 Outer Banks homes collapse

Six homes in the Outer Banks collapsed on Tuesday and a seventh collapsed on Wednesday, bringing the five-year total to 19 in the Rodanthe and Buxton area.

Humberto and Imelda remain offshore in the Atlantic Ocean. However, ocean overwash from the storms has breached the dune line and pushed deep sand and water onto the road.

Rodanthe has become the focal point in the national conversation about the impacts of climate change on sea level rise in coastal areas.

That seems to be another misinterpretation, if only Israel will be born again — are you implicating non is as of now? — there are no gentile believers in our Lord Christ Jesus, because as I stated above you have to be born again to be able to believe that Jesus is the Christ.

There are four groups, not three:
1. Unbelievers
2. Children of God
3. Sons of God
4. Those who come to the body of Christ.

Except for #1 it is all a matter of faith, talking about millionaires doesn't make you a millionaire.

Aristarkos

It does seem to me The iSRAEL AND jUDAH are yet to be BORN. AGAIN. until the BODY of Christ has been caught up to be

withChrist in 1 Thess 4:13-17. and 2. Thess 2:1-8. !! and this why I AM , DISPENSATIONAL and PRE-TRI. and PRE-MIL. !!

Yes but it's also in our food and medications too. We are never going to get rid of this, until there is a giant overhaul in every product that uses chemicals that causes cancer.

From the research I've done myself, it looks to me that synthetics are the biggest cause.

I quoted the maker of the show, and based on their own words, this show in particular was more than just having a character.

Steele describes this as not just being simple representation, describing it as “meant to be in the structure and the bones of the show.”

And in another part of the interview:

TD: The original was supposed to be more of an adult cartoon, and I know it still has a curse word and references to porn in it. And I know that you were asked to take some of that out to make it more youth friendly. So I guess my question is: what was that decision like when you were making the Netflix show? Did you always want it to be more friendly for kids? Or were you originally thinking about making it adult-oriented like your original project?

HS: No, funnily enough the adult comedy was added to it. I didn’t pitch it as adult, and then Cartoon Hangover’s brand at the time was trying to make more adult cartoons, and then halfway through production they changed their mind because I think it demonetized their videos, and that was their whole business model. So it used to be a lot worse. There was some proper bad stuff in there.

So we took out what we could and we left in the stuff we did, and we still think it’s funny. And then the comic was more YA, I wouldn’t say adult, I guess more teen. It kind of set the tone of the show. No, I wanted it to be kind of kid friendly but see what we could get away with.

So in this case, it's not merely that a gay character was in the show... it sounds like activism was the point.

Given the demographic makeup of the characters, they swung the pendulum in the other direction when it comes to societally proportional representation.

As I noted from the synopsis of the show earlier. 80% of the main characters non-cis/non-straight...that doesn't represent demographic reality either.

You may be surprised to know that a lot of those people are ostracized in that particular culture group and so they tend to hang around each other. In other words, it's a show about a friend group of lgbtq.

So yeah, it makes 100% sense.

ThatRobGuy said:
I don't know if you'd even encounter those kinds of ratios at a Sam Smith concert.

So we both haven't seen the show I guess.
