The concern is not losing salvation. There is no threshold mentioned for the amount of sin required to lose salvation or any other conditions. If it were possible to lose salvation, we would all lose it. However, there are several verses discussing apostasy and the need to persevere until the end. "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God." Lk 9:62 (NET)
"Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the later times some will desert the faith and occupy themselves with deceiving spirits and demonic teachings." 1 Tim 4:1 (NET)
There are several other verses along these lines, but these give ample support for the point.
This is not losing salvation. This is turning away from God. It is a reverse repentance.
If belief/faith/pistis is how we accept God's grace then unbelief is how we reject God's grace.
You cannot look back if you never went into it, and you cannot desert the faith if you never entered it.

Right, but in this case, the DSA openly praises Marx and celebrates his life/work, and describes his writings as "fundamental texts" for their association.

So while I understand there's different "flavors" of socialism, the DSA's publications (and who they opt to put on a pedestal) clearly indicate which flavor they support.

In addition to the links from their website I provided above, they're also doing stuff like this:

Comrade du Bard: Marx for the Masses - Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)

In order to become agents of change, we have to become the heroes of our own narratives.

The DSA isn't exclusively Marxist, it's a coalition party made of Libertarian-Left Anarchists as well as Marxists.

The premise seems to be that if Group A had elongated heads and Group B had elongated heads, then Group A must be related to Group B. But since skull deformation is a known practice, including how it's done, then it just means Group A and Group B thought the same thing looked cool. It's like looking for a genetic tie between two distant groups who like to wear blue jeans when the only tie is they like blue jeans.

As to why some parents deformed the skulls of their children, why do some parents pierce their children's earlobes?

I don't know but I believe the video was saying that some of these elongated skulls were natural formed (these people were born that way). That is why they were discussing the positioning of the spinal cord into some of the skulls. I know there are many cultures who do physically deform the skull but for some of the skulls in Paracas, this was not the case.

Plus, the DNA evidence from some of those skulls placed them from the Black Sea area.

Kash Patel Says No 'Credible' Info Epstein Trafficked Young Women to Others​

[Asked 'who else' by GOP Sen Kennedy]

Patel responded, "Himself. There is no credible information, none. If there were I would bring the case yesterday"

Patel noted that the available case files only contain "limited search warrants" from 2006 and 2007, because federal prosecutors in Florida had previously struck a secret deal with Epstein that allowed him to avoid prosecution for his earlier crimes.

Beyond what is not allowed to be discussed. All Christians are connected to a body, spiritually. The more sensitive we become to this, the more it affects our hearts and minds.

Since the consciousness of the physical body doesn't like to feel left out, it subconsciously and automatically attempts to imitate the divine, but this doesn't always work out.

The person I was yesterday is dead, and the person I am today is alive. Many yesterdays died, and yet I still live.

That's what comes to mind.

I agree with the idea of what you're saying, but don't agree with the nuance. I'm not sure if I can elaborate without breaking the rules, but I will say though that there are always 4 spirits we must contend with, God's, fallen angels, God following angels and our own. Since we still struggle with the curse of sin/flesh, our own mind can do a lot of things on its own. I know people tend to immediately jump on the bandwagon to claim its occult, or demons, but sometimes it's our own thoughts that can be intrusive enough to warp our own realities/perception. Biology plays a huge part in this which is why anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, and anti-psychotics work because there can be an imbalance chemically in the brain that can alter our moods and make our thoughts swing to extremes. Sometimes people feel better by just being in prayer, and eating healthier. That's not to say that demons can't weasel their way in, as I have personal experiences dealing with them for myself and others, but biology definitely can be the answer in some instances.

Well, as long as we know who to blame, that is the only important piece. Make sure to hate on them while calling out their hatred and intolerance.

"I'm curious. What gun regulation do you think would have prevented the Kirk school shooting?"

Given the 2nd amendment, I am all for the kind of requirements they have in Japan.
You can still own guns, you still have that right, but it's for more regimented.

National park to remove exhibit of famed photograph showing former slave’s scarred back, says report​

The famous photo is among dozens of exhibits on slavery said to be nixed by the Trump administration​

In 1863, at the height of the Civil War, two Baton Rouge photographers captured an image of a former slave's horrifically scarred back that shocked white Americans across the Union.

Now that photo is among dozens of exhibits about slavery at several national parks, which have reportedly been ordered removed by the Trump administration.

According to The Washington Post, National Park Service officials have taken exception to various signs and displays at the Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia and George Washington's old house in Philadelphia, where the first U.S. president kept nine slaves.

All were deemed to violate Trump's executive order on "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History" in March, which ordered the Interior Department to purge national monuments and historic sites of any content that "inappropriately disparage Americans past or living".

"...these people ever made."

To date, the FBI has identified one person who was responsible for the killing of Kirk.

There are "these people."

Millions. Rubish.

Considering that I remember the Giffords shooting when it happened and reading about it here, time does fly. And yes, naturally against it.

I was asking what other group could have been posting all of those social media posts celebrating Kirk's demise.

Not sure what that has to do with what someone's social media posts show about them.

OK. My misunderstanding. It still leaves you with nothing but supposition about who is doing what. How does that help defuse the tribalism?

This government can't even pass a budget much less have the skills to negoiate a split up of the country.

Those are possible options. A couple others I can think of.

I remember in another case where the GOP was heading for the exits, one of them said "It's not fun to not be in the majority anymore." They may be sensing a blue ripple that will flip the House.

Perhaps connected to that, a lot of these folks are getting earfuls of anger at their town halls (if they have the guts to hold them). They may realize that the Big Billionaire Buffet and cuts to healthcare are not popular and they're having difficulty justifying their own votes to their own constituents.

Yes, the knowledge is revelation which, itself, is a gift of grace- and the faith to believe those revealed truths is a gift of grace as well
