Teachers are like everyone else at their jobs...we just want to do the job and go home.
The McChurch's and Joel Osteen's of today basically hold Sunday pep rallies and read a small passage from the bible and sprinkle in some self help with it. I'm not knocking it if that's your bag but Christianity ain't what it used to be.
The U? As in UNL? Did you go to UNL? I'm not sure what kind of university someone would have to go to to call UNL liberal. Maybe BYU or some religious school.
I would have to say the first legal forward pass in 1906 followed by the American League adopting the DH in 1973
Now that the national league has also adopted the DH it is truly the beginning of the end of times
Read your bible - it’s all there in revelations
evolution theory and philosophical naturalism caused quite the cultural upheaval that has been building in momentum the past few centuries. The dust will eventually settle but what the end result will be is the question. I don't believe in this nihilistic worldview either.
The harlot is dying and trying to take many with her as she goes. It's pretty disruptive to say the least.
I just don't give a rats ass about empty political rhetoric. To me it's no different than professional wrestling promos. Since I don't buy into that, it doesn't make me a "lib" or "right winger". Does NU lean liberal? I would say so but that doesn't mean that CRT is widely taught there. And logically, I would think most people would know all about it if it was.
Maybe UNL has changed since I went there 20 years ago. It was a school with a big ag program and a bunch of kids from small towns. I'm curious how many people making comments about UNL graduated from there because that wasn't my experience at all.
I am talking as a previous employer who had to take kids who graduated from high school and college and teach them basic skills of math, etiquette, attendance, timeliness, problem-solving, and other items before they could become productive. Let's get the basics instilled in them before we graduate them...
Organized religion is purely a method of control over the populace. I wonder if God will ask “did you believe in Me” or “did you show up on Sunday just so you can lord your self righteousness over others and get cookies after service”. Modern organized religion are the modern money changers and Pharisees, purely a way to control others…. Guns, power and money are the modern American religion…
Interesting response. Do you attend anywhere? Do you have a relationship with God without attending anywhere?
What should be the religious way to be faithful to God?
I heard you out, now I would like to comment.
The flood was done for multiple reasons. God recognized that what He created had gone astray because of sin. Sin is separation from God, and when Satan planted the seed of doubt in Eve because she had not heard it from God herself, she made a bad decision. Adam and Eve ate from the fruit, setting the wheels in motion for where we are today. Man had separated himself from God and the severe corruption, immorality, and sin were more than God could stand and started over... He has promised to not flood the earth again, hence the rainbow.
After the flood, God called Abraham from an extremely pagan society, made a covenant with him to make him a nation, and bless him and all his generations. He then called Moses to take this nation and separate it from the rest of the world and make them recognizable through their lifestyle and worship (The Law). The priests and scribes then added to the law made it impossible to live by, not God. Part of the law was a blood sacrificial system that would temporarily forgive the sins of the people and the nation that had to be renewed every year. In order to make the blood sacrificial system permanent was to have a perfect unblemished lamb, Jesus, and sacrifice Himself for us. Jesus is God, one-third of the Holy Trinity, the human manifestation we can recognize, the Diety that put Himself through our life from divine conception to death, so He could commune with us. Jesus was not murdered, but He willingly came to earth to become the perfect sacrifice required and make forgiveness permanent.
I know I am a miserable person who sins every day, but I do not have to ask every day for forgiveness, I accepted Him as my savior... His one-time sacrifice forgave me and asking Him to forgive me every day would be like me asking Him to get crucified every day to forgive my sins. God tells us it is impossible to be sinless, but I do ask multiple times a day to teach me how to avoid my sins and to keep me in a relationship with Him. (I do ask for forgiveness, but not every day)
I do not recruit others to Christianity. I am a seed sewer. I take His Word and make it available to others to read and then allow the seed to germinate. It is the Holy Spirit's job to water and nurture that seed to fruition. One of three things will occur when the seed germinates; it will sprout and immediately die, it will sprout, grow, and then get smothered out due to other weeds (white noise), or it will germinate, grow, and flourish. Which one three paths the germinated seed takes is up to the individual, but I can supply tools and encouragement to assist its growth. My life may be the only Bible some people will ever read.
God is the provider of all things, He will always supply us with everything we need to live on. He will not provide for all added amenities we think we need to live on. The 10% you say we need to give Him is not the case. He created everything, so giving Him more of what He created is meaningless. God supplies in abundance, more than we need, and giving to Him is a sign of recognition or respect for what He has done for us, this pleases Him. God will provide the 10% He wants us to sacrifice to (share with) Him, and then take that 10% and multiply it for our benefit. God's blessings will never come back empty or void. You tithe 10% and he will multiply it by 100 and return it to you... This does not necessarily mean you give to a church or an evangelist, but to the needy, the poor, or organizations doing the work of God. The tithe is not for forgiveness or to buy your way into heaven, but a way to show your love and appreciation to God for what He has supplied for you. This predates the law as Abraham tithed to Melchizedek, so it is not based on the law.
If you take God's Word and twist it, try to make it say things that are not true then it appears as grooming. It is extremely easy to cherry-pick Bible verses and make them say things that are not true or accurate. Jesus, John, Peter, and Paul warned us that in end times people will tickle our ears with false teaching and lead many astray. If what you hear sounds too good to be true or sounds false, chances are it is. It is up to you to do your homework and learn what is in the Bible so you can call out the false teachers. I can call out by name (but won't) many false teachers who get national attention through television and books who teach and preach false doctrine. They will be judged for their teaching as described by James.
Something interesting and to think about... the world is approximately 6,000 years old; 4,000 years ago God flooded it because of extreme sin and corruption, 2,000 years Jesus came to forgive everyone for their severe sin and corruption, ground zero is coming soon.

There is a reason there are 41,000 denominations. Everyone has the true teaching and everyone else is heresy. It isn't because of Satan but due to ambiguousness of the written word.
Denominations are man-made. Some denominations split because you should be submersed not sprinkled... The Last Supper was changed about 100 years after Christ's death with salvation and forgiveness added, then denominations split because of how the bread and wine were symbolized, neither were biblical or accurate... Satan created denominations to separate us from God.
Tell me more about this Satan dude … sounds like he knows how to get shit done
Quick synopsis:
Created by God, jealous of God and Jesus, was thrown out of heaven, trolls the world on a daily basis looking for people to devour, master of lies and deceit, king of darkness, his final destination is already known but tries to change it...
The Bible is very straightforward, it is people who think they know more than what the Holy Spirit wrote. People are like little kids, if they don't get their way or don't think things are fair they rewrite the rules to get their way.
And how does one know what the holy spirit wrote? Even in the first century there were many differing opinions. Christian theology is very very diverse. Is a 2000 year old book the best God could do?
The story of the adulterous woman and Jesus saying the one without sin cast the first stone wasn't in the Bible until the 10th century.
The most fearful thing for a Christian is God himself. And not in a healthy way but an abusive relationship way.

Satan being God's arch nemesis is a New Testament motif that the Hebrew scriptures had no recollection of
Feel like this Satan guy would be dressed in all red on game day pounding beers and yelling obscenities at the opposition while jesus would be standing outside reminding everyone what miserable sinners they were as they were filing in
Genesis wasn't interpreted as Satan until the New Testament
Ezekial is about the King of Tyre
Isaiah is about the King of Babylon
Job has Satan being God's instrument as a prosecutor
Satan is a title and used for God's angels as well. As is seen in the talking donkey and Balaam
The best simplest and less wordy way to answer about other Holy Spirit is to follow the link. I would write more about it, but this is the easiest. https://seminary.bju.edu/theology-in-3d/the-men-who-wrote-scripture-were-led-by-the-spirit/

The first stone not in the Bible is new to me, please show me the evidence, I can not find anything.
God id like your parents; He wants what is best and will do whatever He can do to help, but if you continually defy and test Him, He will judge and discipline in proportion to the offense.
If that isn’t sarcasm then, asking if you actually know Jesus instead of about Him isn’t really needed.
and eternal punishment is in proportion to the offense?
I don't believe God is that petty.
Does John 7:53-8:11 belong in the Bible? | GotQuestions.org
Does John 7:53-8:11 belong in the Bible? What is the pericope adulterae? Was the story of the woman caught in adultery originally part of the Gospel of John?
www.gotquestions.org
Ezekial is referring to Genesis
Isiaiah was comparing to Satan
Job- Satan was walking freely on the earth, not prosecuting. The LORD said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.”
Those are Christian reinterpretations, not Jewish beliefs about those verses
Satan was going to and fro as God's right hand man finding offenses and bringing them to God. Satan was apart of God's divine council.
The idea that Satan was his adversary was influenced by Persian theology.

This is going to come off as an attck of HuskerOH by me and I really don't mean it to...but I'm always a little taken aback when a Christian asks someone else for evidence or proof....Happy Easter!
Don't know how you connect the dots with Satan being God's right hand man, but...
I'm not offended, but if I don't know something I am not afraid to ask so I can learn... I want to know their source so I can investigate it myself. After I read the article I also know of one or two other instances where more was added later and are in brackets of the Bible. Doesn't take away from the Bible.
I enjoyed the discussion.
The problem for many is that apologists commonly say that the Bible has only changed in small ways, like spelling or grammatical errors. But when whole chapters are found to be much later additions and verses like the Johanna Comma are found to be fake, it takes on a whole level of faith to see how any of what is written was originally inspired.
The most important part of the Bible is a simple read. I think that's purposeful. The rest has been diluted by humans.
