My workplace has recently put up a bunch of pride flags over the building and stuck stickers over the desk. If your employee did this what would you do.

Also how do you react when apps you use decorate the wholehomepage with prode flags? And how do you react when neighbours display pride flags outside their homes

Unless these symbols lead you to think about what they mean, (in vivid detail), what is it about them that seems to “trouble” you?

This is not about political posturing. It is the fact that God Himself refers to Himself as HE, not as It, or She. The Creator is God the Father. You don't seen to care about what the Bible says.

As Americans prepare to celebrate Flag Day and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, historian William Federer says the nation's founding ideals cannot be separated from its longstanding belief that rights come from God, not government.

In an interview with The Christian Post ahead of Flag Day on June 14 — commemorating June 14, 1777, when the Continental Congress passed a resolution adopting the first official United States flag — Federer reflected on the religious themes woven throughout American history, including the addition of "one nation under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance and "In God We Trust" to U.S. currency during the Cold War era.

According to Federer, those changes reflected an effort to distinguish the U.S. from the atheistic communist ideology embraced by the Soviet Union.

"We just came out of World War II, and the Cold War was starting up with atheistic communism," Federer said. "We were contrasting our form of government, with rights from a Creator, to the Soviet Union."

Everyone in the first century AD knew that water was used when baptizing, as Jesus Christ commanded in Matthew 28:18-20. There wasn't any need to explain this fact in a gospel or epistle.

The Didache, an early Christian text dating to the late 1st or early 2nd century, outlines baptism as the formal entry into the Christian community, emphasizing adult converts rather than infants. The text specifies that baptism must be administered in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, reflecting a Trinitarian formula.

Method and Water Source

Preferred Method: Immersion in "living water" (running water like a river) is the primary instruction.

Alternatives: If running water is unavailable, baptism may occur in cold or warm standing water.

Affusion: If immersion is impossible, water is to be poured three times on the head

Preparation and Practice

Catechesis: Candidates must first receive instruction in the "Way of Life" and "Way of Death."

Fasting: Both the baptizer and the candidate are required to fast beforehand, with the candidate fasting for one or two days prior to the rite.

Community: The practice underscores baptism as a decisive step of obedience and inclusion in the covenant community, distinct from casual ritual. --Brave AI

And IN. MATT. 3:16. SAYS , when he WAS (. WATER. // HYDOR ). BAPTISTHEIS ) , WHY ??

And in. Mak 16:16 says he that BELEVETH. and is BAPTIZED. ( but the Greek word for WATER , HYDOR ) (. is not in

the. GREEK TEXT , EASY TO CHECK. ) BUT he that BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED. ,

And just asking ??

For my own peace and also for
Moving on along the way I have forgiven
Though it took a very long time and
Beyond that those at my former work place
Who didn't know I had a mental illness as
It seemed like they and even encouraged me to
Brush it off but how can you as God saw it
Really in the very first place and God is not one to brush
Over on things off as He is the Great Healer and Physician.

The point we are all failing to remember is that Palestinians aren't human beings. And so it doesn't matter how they get treated.
And the other point we are all failing to remember is that the modern state of Israel created in 1948 is always on God's side because some 20th century Dispensationalist teachers said so, and anyone who cares about things like what Jesus taught, human rights, or the Gospel is an enemy that must be shut down without mercy.

Unbelievers to believers in Christ and being reunited in eternity.

There are two things I try to remember that generally help me get through the pain of past abuse. One, often the abuse we've gone through can end up being useful to learn from so we can comfort others who have gone through similar circumstances. Two, not everything that happens in life is God's will. People are free agents and some of them choose to do very harmful things despite the fact that God made rules against them and said that He would punish people severely for breaking those rules. (Mark 9:42, Matthew 18:6-7) God can use even the evil people commit against us for good in the end (Genesis 50:20), but that doesn't mean He planned or wanted it to happen.

Financial is apart of life and it always has trials this time of year for us. We both had melt downs, then got up to speed. We are working on each one at a time. God does provide. Besides being the beginning of sorrows he is testing our faith and trust and making them stronger. But also it is needful to know that the rapture may be near. So hold on we have a wonderful future ahead. It seems bad but our redemption draws near. And we are not children of wrath.

i pray we make it through our financial troubles Heavenly Father, and I pray you provide for everyone who needs it. Those without jobs or rent money or food please help them to live and be encouraged by seeing you have not forgotten us, nor will you. Keep us on the road and make our needs be there when we are ready. Help us trust and carry on with an attitude of prayer and be close and comforted by your presence. I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor their seed begging for bread. It is a time for rejoicing and praise for your goodness. Help us to dwell in the positive side with confidence and trust. In Jesus Name

Thank you for your encouraging words and prayers. They were a blessing to read and came at a time when I needed the reminder to keep trusting God.

I appreciate your perspective that even through financial struggles and difficult seasons, the Lord is strengthening our faith and teaching us to depend on Him more. It is comforting to remember that God is our provider and that He has never abandoned His children.

Thank you also for praying not only for us, but for everyone who is facing hardship. Your prayer reflects Christ's love and compassion for others.

That's certainly a reasonable thing to point out, and I generally agree that there are issues with the amount of drug advertising we see in the US, but again, following that thread down to the individual goes beyond the capability of laypersons to evaluate.

But that's the thing, I'm not taking it down to the individual level for every single case. As I said in one of my very first posts in this thread, there are certainly people out there for whom, the pros of GLP-1s outweigh the cons.

The fact that we've seen a huge spike in prescriptions being handed out for it, and we've seen overprescribing trends for a wide variety of drugs over the past 30 years is evidence that it's happening, but I'm not suggesting that I know for certain which people are in those categories, just that we know it's happening.

If I said "Steve Shmedley living at 123 main street from Tacoma Washington definitely doesn't need them" that would be one thing, but I'm speaking more broadly.

...but it's impossible to have the discussion about the reality that "there's some people getting them prescribed to them who don't need them and would be better off modifying their diet", if people who are currently on them are going to take it way too personally. What logical conclusion does that lead to? We just let 100% of the population have them on-demand because anything less would be "gatekeeping weightloss" and evoke a "how dare you" response?

If, amid the opioid pandemic, someone pointed out "there's too many people getting prescriptions for those who don't need them, and would be better off trying other means like physical therapy" (which was 100% true speaking broadly), I got all hot and bothered and said "When my dad had stage 4 cancer, those drugs were the only thing that gave him relief at the end, so how dare you tell other people what they do and don't need, you're not a doctor!!!"

Would that have been a productive approach?

I cut my parents off because they circumcised me. This is the best penalty for the extreme evil of circumcision that I can enact and how they wronged me by handing me a physician to be sexually tortured, mutilated, and disfigured when I was an infant. I hope they die alone in some agonizing way after a life of suffering for what they did. And I hope that more men will follow the same path in cutting off their parents.

Mat 20:27 And he that will be first among you shall be your servant. 20:28 Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life a redemption for many.

That is why at Holy Mass, this is said:

"Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my Blood, the Blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in memory of me."

What is prophecy in Scripture?
In very simple terms, Biblical prophecy is God speaking through a person. It is essentially Spirit inspired communication- God revealing something to a person (the prophet) who then speaks it out to others.

Numbers 12:

6 He said,
“Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, shall make Myself known to him in a vision.
I shall speak with him in a dream.
7 “Not so, with My servant Moses,
He is faithful in all My household;
8 With him I speak mouth to mouth,
Even openly, and not in dark sayings,
And he beholds the form of the Lord.
Why then were you not afraid
To speak against My servant, against Moses?”

Aussie52 said:
Prophecy is to be evaluated, to test the genuineness of the prophetic word.
1. It was of God if it came to pass. Deut 18:22.
2. It should not cause people to depart from God. Deut 13:1-3.
3. Prophecy is to be judged 1 Cor 14:29, 1 Jn 4:1.

true

Questions to consider.

1. It is commonly taught by some that there is a difference between Old Testament Prophets and New Testament Prophets, and how they function. Can this be validated from Scripture or not?

it is not in scripture

Aussie52 said:
2.There are many who claim to be prophets today. Is there any Scriptural proof for this claim or not?

yes the Bible says to test the prophets to see iF what they say is of God, is true. Acts 17:11

Aussie52 said:
3. Is prophecy in the New Testament the same as the Old Testament or not?

Same Holy Spirit, same gift of prophecy

Aussie52 said:
4. How do we view modern day so-called prophecy that often, does not come to pass, is often at variance with Scripture, and goes unjudged?

false prophets

Aussie52 said:
5. How can the idea of modern prophecy that brings 'revelation' be reconciled with the closed canon of Scriptural revelation?

Many prophets in both OT and NT never wrote a word of scripture.

All scripture comes from the prophetic gift, but not all with that gift write scripture , see 1 Cor 14.

Aussie52 said:
6. Is there genuine prophecy happening today or did it cease with the early church?

Please discuss your thoughts.

happens today but rarely

At work today I noticed the entire office has been covered in pride flags and banners everywhere over the walls and ceilings, even outside the building. There's even an upcoming day where everyone has to wear something rainbow coloured into work for the day and everyone must do this according to managemnet

What would you do if your workplace does this?

Isn’t this present world supposed to be “enemy territory” for Christians?
(ETA: I’d personally draw the line at “mandatory clothing”.)
