    George H.W. Bush says Trump is a 'blowhard' motivated by 'ego'

    Trump hasn't gotten us into a big war under false pretenses while the left gets judges to create same-sex marriage. Both Bushes got us into avoidable wars with Iraq. Both Bushes pushed this country to the left. Trump has done neither of these great evils.

    George H.W. Bush says Trump is a 'blowhard' motivated by 'ego'

    The two Bushes managed to be two of the worst presidents in American history. I'd take Trump over either of them, any day.

    Hopeless Depression

    "Pentecostal & Assemblies of God" forum. I could guess that by reading the post.

    Alcohol isn't sinful.

    I don't agree that drunkenness is a sin. Biblical warnings against being drunk aren't about being drunk itself, but the immorality that normally accompanies drunkenness. E.g. Ep 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. It's not being drunk...

    Abomination of desolation? When?

    Matthew 24:3-28 is presented as natural and literal events. V. 29 is impossible to take literally. It's instantly obvious that v. 29 is a figure of speech. And, the Old Testament's use of that same figure of speech reveals to us the meaning. You objections to my theology carry no weight. My...

    Abomination of desolation? When?

    In indisputable fact, an abomination caused desolation in 70 AD. This desolation matched very nicely Jesus' and Daniel's prophesies. It's interesting how Futurists try to recreate first-century events. Another Israel. Another Temple of God. Another desolation. Another great tribulation...

    Abomination of desolation? When?

    When I talk with most Christians, I always have a nagging feeling that they've never read the Bible. Really, in the "end times", supposedly any moment now, we're going to be beaten in the synagogues? Yea, when you consider that 19 is twice 50 but not less than that, add 344 days... see, it...

    6 Biblical Reasons Why Jesus Made Unfermented Wine (Grape Juice).

    Where are you posts against eating leavened bread? And, no, the Bible doesn't say yeast is a sin. Given all the flaming nonsense you've posted, your beliefs don't matter. You have no credibility, so appealing to your credibility, "I believe", is meaningless.

    6 Biblical Reasons Why Jesus Made Unfermented Wine (Grape Juice).

    Lies, lies, lies. Welch was trying to sell grape juice to churches to use as wine. Welch's sales gimmick to proto-prohibitionists during the temperance movement doesn't make wine in the Bible grape juice. Lies, lies, lies. You can't remove alcohol with a strainer. Let's see the original...

    6 Biblical Reasons Why Jesus Made Unfermented Wine (Grape Juice).

    Alcohol has never been thought good for the brain. In spite of that, moderate drinking has been linked to better health and longevity. It seems that it's very easy to protect the brain from alcohol damage. This mitigating factor would have applied to the people of Jerusalem in Bible times...

    6 Biblical Reasons Why Jesus Made Unfermented Wine (Grape Juice).

    Lies, lies, lies. In biblical times they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of boiling down grape juice and reconstituting it. That's stupid. It's a lot of work. The result is nasty tasting. The shelf-life would still be short. And, it's unnecessary when alcohol preserves grape juice...

    6 Biblical Reasons Why Jesus Made Unfermented Wine (Grape Juice).

    Moderate use of alcohol, even with occasional drunkenness, is a healthier lifestyle than abstinence, all other things being equal.

    Was Gods punishing the Jews because in the holocaust because they killed? Jesus

    All the Jews who reject Christ spiritually share the guilt of murder of our Lord, and they will receive eternal punishment if there's no repentance. Pilate took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves.” And all the people...

    Was Gods punishing the Jews because in the holocaust because they killed? Jesus

    Saying Pilate went along with it is like saying the Jews went along with the Holocaust. You should the account, sometime. The Bible only blames Jews, and blames Jews over and over. You should read it, sometime. Besides, why would Peter let the Romans off the hook just because his audience...
