Philippians 2:13 answers that as do many other scriptures. You do not speak to the underlying “HOW”. That “how” is God.

Romans 8:29-30 states, “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren; and whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”

You have to go through extreme scriptural calisthenics to make that mean something other that what it really does.

I may be wrong but every scripture that I have read that deals with money in a “bad” light is always talking about the persons heart.

Your timeline is off. Christ “died” at roughly 40AD. So 40-60 years after.

“It’s a good show outside of the wanton displays of sex and violence.”

I keep reading wondering if you think that is really true. If so, you should don that flame suit.

Not all things in Revelations are literal for sure. That is. It’s supported by other portions of Scripture. However, not a sticking point for me since I am not going there. :)

I am not sure what you mean by “the second death which is, in fact, death”. Do you mean, gone obliterated not here anymore kind of death? Revelation 2 0 clearly states what that second death is. The cast in the lake of fire (the second death) are not obliterated from existence.

Lost me on the very first item.

That’s how they portray them as “normal” relationships. TV has been shaping views since it began.

Look at that, Bernie Sanders voting “Nay”. smh

“Right now, we are officially banned from marriage and ordination, and often denied other sacraments, as well.” - Yes, and you should be.

Should never have hired her in the first place against their own doctrine and now shocker, consequences.

Give God your best. You have to decide what that means.

You only need one reason. It isn’t in the Bible. It’s a local church ordinance to remember Him until He comes again.

It’s not freaking racist. Give me a break.

Apostate is the only word you need to know.

He’s going to lose.

I’ve read that other statues of him haven’t lasted very long. While the cauldron was bubbling for something to happen, I don’t think precipitating a world war merits “hero”.

How is it not related to “law enforcement materials”?

OORAH!

There is that.

Also, according to this it was b-day gift:
