I recently read thru I Corinthians chapters 1 thru 2 again. One concept being described there is the work of the Holy Spirit to make us able to discern the things of God. That applies to salvation and our need for it. You've described your testimony here several times. Whether you could discern the hand of the Lord leading you to Himself or could not is immaterial. This passage indicates the whole of the Triune Godhead was engaged before you turned to Him. In my own case, I am dead certain it was Him all the way.

However parenting the mentally ill child isn't that cut-and-dry. Failure to uphold the delusion will violate doctor's orders. Child protective services will be engaged to ensure the child's medical care meets today's protocols. In other words, the children will be taken to a foster parent who will take the children to what doctors say is the appropriate medical treatment. Even if that treatment is demonic.

There is a segment of this world that does not believe in enforcing drug laws as they relate to cannabis. I am not part of that segment. The untold damage from the use of this substance has destroyed too many lives. There are arguments for justice reform, increased taxation, and more jobs thru cannabis farming/processing/wholesale/retail markets. Not worth it. More destroyed people on the government dole isn't going to offset any potential gains...and destroying people is never worth it.

Yup, lock up those Christians for exercising their First Admendment rights which are now all but abolished in some states.

At some point, you will have to come to the conclusion of who's side are you on anyway. I'm not arguing politics or civics but faith now, Jim. Who is on the Lord's side? Are you following Him?

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man, which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have receiveth not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit, which is of God, that we might know the things that are given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. But the natural man perceiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. - 1 Corinthians 2:10-14

There is a significant cultural influence from Easstern religions like Buddhism and Hinduism. And the secular humanist influence is stronger than ever. All of these define "good" in terms they feel regular people meet. The Lord defines things different, finding none righteous, no not one.

I think this is a larger issue than 2+2, and one we in our camp need to pay attention to in how we deal with others. Still doesn't mean I'm accepting much from certain posters here though, based on a track record of injecting doubtful info and analysis into these boards.

This is the reslut of critical race theory, which has declared mathematics to crafted by white men, and therefore, it is somehow then racist.

I sincerely hope that Mr Falwell is led to repentance and wisdom that comes from a deep and sincere faith in Jesus Christ.

I don't trust the Russians either. But the CCP is on the move and owns the Democratic Party.
