“ Separation of the Trinity is an implausible interp ”
Ps22:24-31 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Neither hath he hid his face from him; But when he cried unto him, he heard. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: They shall praise the LORD that seeks him: Your heart shall live forever. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the LORD's: And he is the governor among the nations. All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: And none can keep alive his soul. A seed shall serve him; It shall be accounted to the LORD for a generation. They shall come and shall declare his righteousness Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. The public watched the wounding of his hands and feet, his thirst, his clothes divided and awarded to others, and of the mocking, and his death. When Jesus uttered those words he might as well have said on that day this psalm was fulfilled before their eyes! It's a psalm they've recited for a millennium. How have we taken a psalm of victory and turned it into a disturbance in the Godhead? |

“ Timestamp 56:00 ”
It seems like Paul told the Romans (and us) that keeping the covenant wasn't what made the difference in Romans 9:32 [CSB] "Why is that? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone." and he warned the Romans in Ch 11 they too could be cut off and someone mentioned it does seem to happen all round the world. In brief, how does the rest 11 affect what you said thereafter? e.g., Rom. 11
[2] God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah — how he pleads with God against Israel?
[11] I ask, then, have they stumbled so as to fall? Absolutely not! On the contrary, by their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.
[24] For if you were cut off from your native wild olive tree and against nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these — the natural branches — be grafted into their own olive tree?
[28] Regarding the gospel, they are enemies for your advantage, but regarding election, they are loved because of the patriarchs, [29] since God’s gracious gifts and calling are irrevocable. |

“ Great Sermon! ”
It seems like a lot of fine things were said about being a good influence. It appears like all of the proposed examples were for leaders. For those with little to no influence since most of us aren't leaders here is how we can make a difference in our cities.
1. Go to church every time the doors are open.
2. Help in, both, a church ministry and a parachurch ministry.
3. Give more than a tithe.
4. Fast often.
5. Vote every time the polls are open.
Evangelism and Bible study are mandatory so keep up with those, too. Imagine how much God can use these things! How do you feel about these? |

“ part 2 ”
Do spirits have flesh and bone? Not as Jesus puts it in Luke 24:39, and if they somehow did have such bodies demons could pull off a faux resurrection and turn our Lord's resurrection into a pyrrich victory.
Do spirits have creative power, have DNA, or create seed, (and can they even reproduce after there own kind)? Not according to Col. 1, Heb. 1, and John 1. That sovereignty belongs to Jesus.
Can anything reproduce anything not after its own kind? Not according to Gen 1.
Are we confident angels won't do this breeding today?
Can a possessed man produce offspring such as the nephilim or a giants? Something often assumed by readers of Gen 6.
Were nephilim around during the mixed breeding or just a result of it? The text says that the fallen ones, whomever they are, were on the earth at that time and after, but it doesn't say they were the offspring of the sons of God and daughters of men, per se. The nephilim were possibly another demographic all together and were on the earth as well as the parties called the sons of God and the daughter of men like any other demographic. |

“ Feedback ”
Upton Sinclair, an author who ran for Congress on the Socialist ticket twice and for the governor in California as a Democrat in 1934 once wrote,
"The American People will take Socialism, but they won't take the label." This could explain, in part, why he gained more votes with a 'D' to the right of his name.
The Church may have raised the bar on hand outs, but because we failed to keep up the good work, the State stepped up. It is Christianity's negligence that led to the Government controlling our purse strings, and poorly at that.
Two things about Acts. We should remove any doubt about whether or not anyone died for stealing from the Holy Ghost by not just pointing out that Peter called them on their lie. While we can buttress stealing from God in the Bible, we can see that it does not says that anyone was stealing from the Holy Ghost in this passage. If Peter said it was lying to the Holy Ghost, we can see plenty of reason for him to affirm that there were theifs too. The other thing to know is that all Scripture has one interpretation and one context. We have to consider this was during the time frame of a major Jewish Holy day. People were not locals and hung around long after because of the Good News. (Continued) |

“ Very Interesting ”
Many imitations will come, indeed. Did you catch that reporter's reference to Fayetteville? He is a believer. He knows the truth, the Fayetteville born Putt Putt is still the only real miniature golf franchise. Often imitated, never duplicated! After all, elf villages don't exist.
Seriously though, we can name countless parts of the world the Church's candlestick had been removed, and after the atheistic worldview fails, incomes bad religion. It's like a car you put it in neutral before it goes into reverse. Far too often when the Church is ran out of parts of the globe, this happens. Islam usually jumps right on it, and before a church gets (re)built a mosque is on every street corner. In this part, it happens to be another replacement christ who caught on to the Godless vacuum ready for the taken. It happens in places our soldiers liberate too. It just doesn't idol in neutral for as long. That place needs some pallets of bibles dropped on them and some missionaries waiting nearby for the harvest. The 100 miles of surrounding land will either be possessed by these antichristans, Muslims, or Christians. Ain't nothing like the real thing. Jesus said pray for laborers for the harvest & a few verses later he sends forth the prayer team as his laborers! Maybe we should pray too. |
