    Loudoun County students stage walkout over sexual assault handling

    Don't you see, you're what's wrong in all of this! Wow, just wow. I bet you didn't expect that. I know I didn't.

    Loudoun County students stage walkout over sexual assault handling

    It wasn't on the news. Believe or not, there are people who don't consider it newsworthy. But let a mother object to what is being taught to her children and suddenly those same people scream terrorism and that we need to get the FBI involved.

    Loudoun County students stage walkout over sexual assault handling

    Yeah, it's weird how their gender identity can change on dime or at any convenient situation.

    Justification: Faith (and works?)

    Most people confuse the terms 'faith' and 'belief'. "Faith" is action that you take on a held belief. For example, I believe the Bible contains the Word of God. Therefore, I pray for understanding of the Bible and I begin studying it in preparation that God will grace me with understanding of...

    Texas Governor Greg Abbott Signs Bill Into Law Banning Biological Males From Female Sports In School

    Just a couple of years ago, I would not have thought that anyone would find a need for a law like that.

    Christians Represent the Daughter of Zion

    We have a great deal in common I'm sure. A fellow libertarian possibly?! Two of my brothers moved to the Seattle area for a few years. I kind of like the feel of the liberal tint of the city just not the manifestations of modern liberalism's worse side effects such as you mentioned. Also, I...

    The Waters Above the Firmament

    Faith cannot exist without Truth (reliability), so Light is essentially the same as Truth. And at the first occurrence of God speaking, Light is released (as a remedy for those who are in the darkness of the previous verse and are able to see it).

    The Waters Above the Firmament

    Possibly the second sentence uttered by the serpent in the garden was influenced by satan?

    The Waters Above the Firmament

    Isn't gravity the foundation upon which the earth rests? Who can say that the writer of that Psalm envisions it as some sort of post-tensioned beam or pier supporting the earth. He seems to infer that the foundation is not understood by men (and he would be right). Here is a wrench in the...

    Christians Represent the Daughter of Zion

    Jesus is our King and Savior and He arrived lowly and meek, riding upon a colt the foal of an ass into Jerusalem shortly before His crucifixion. I think I can say that we both believe that. Jesus referred to those who observe/acknowledge that as the "daughter of Zion". I'm pretty sure that we...

    Christians Represent the Daughter of Zion

    I've read a couple of books that show (supposed) travels of Israel after the Assyrian captivity. I thought they were pretty persuasive in their evidence that they journeyed over the centuries toward the west settling in Europe. That is not to say that they are not scattered all over the world...

    Christians Represent the Daughter of Zion

    I'll have to admit that I'll need to study that Isaiah reference to try and get an understanding of it's message. I am with the understanding that Joseph in the list of 144,000 is Ephraim. You don't think that to be the case? Thanks for you response!

    Christians Represent the Daughter of Zion

    No, God isn't replacing the Israelites with gentiles. The church is made up of the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Isn't that what Jesus taught anyway? It also has converted gentiles within it. Here is a verse worthy of closer consideration. God makes this statement hundreds of years...

    Christians Represent the Daughter of Zion

    Yes, but not everyone will identify symbolism where it is used. Also, I wasn't referring to Judah being symbolically called a cedar. There are several uses of symbolism in these 3 verses. Rather, I was referring to *Jerusalem/house [of Judah]* and mountain height of *Israel* being taken as...

    Christians Represent the Daughter of Zion

    Thanks for your response. I try not to come off as defensive and I admire all who seek Truth. If I were on the wrong path I would want to be corrected, the same with any Truth. I hope for all of us to be right in our understanding of the Truth. In order for that to happen, someone will often...

    Christians Represent the Daughter of Zion

    My posting suggests that the 'daughter of Jerusalem' of Zechariah 9:9 has not yet fulfilled the prophecy of that verse. The 'daughter of Zion has (and is still currently) fulfilling that verse. I am not suggesting that they (Jerusalem) forfeited their call. In fact that would imply that God's...

    Pacifism

    Absolutely Jesus explained why he was no to use it. He didn't tell Peter that the reason he shouldn't use it was because he should be a pacifist. He told Peter not to use it because it was His Father's will what was about to come to pass. I'll bet that Peter was carrying that sword with him...
