March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Just for reference sake - take a look at this scripture and let me have your thoughts on it.

2 Peter 2:20-21

King James Version (KJV)

20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

Doesn't this suggest to you that even those having come to the knowledge and belief in Jesus can become entangled again and it would be better off for them to have NOT known the way of righteousness to begin with?

respectfully,

Your welcome.  Wink

Okay, God willing, how I describe this will make sense, but it is the same really as I've said, it's a statement of fact, in the sense that it lays down what can and cannot de done (to know and then turn), and it gives the reason why too (the latter end is worse).

So I see that as a statement of fact, not a warning in a direct sense, if that makes sense.

Yes, a person can get entangled, just as scripture says. HOWEVER, you perceive that entanglement would cost the person their salvation, but it says nothing of the sort actually. All it says is that it would be better, as in if the person hadn't got entangled they wouldn't have as much tribulation and chastisement.

What parent doesn't go after their child that wanders off? Does that wandering off and putting their hands where they don't belong mean they are no longer their child? Nope. It means that believer is still in the flesh, not having been "changed" into spiritual yet. It might mean though that child will get scolded and "spanked" for acting up, but they are still a son of God, forever.

If it were possible, it would be better, but it's not possible for it to be any better! This is as good as it gets, while in the flesh. So in my opinion, it would never be better for them to not know.

Everybody WILL know the way of righteousness.
