    A little comedy break....

    This one would be better if the guy on the beach were Strom Thurmond, with the other malapropism, of course.

    Enduring to the end... not for us in the body of Christ

    What are they being saved from? So you've said before. But Peter was the one that received the dream about clean and unclean animals in reference to Gentiles in the Church. Peter wrote to the same groups Paul wrote to. Peter and Paul were not of different Churches, different faiths. Peter was...

    Enduring to the end... not for us in the body of Christ

    But you said that such salvation wasnt the same thing even for the kingdom-looking Jews. So you claim for the kingdom a form of godliness while denying it power to save. You do realize perseverance and endurance are synonymous? Yes, and to have continued on through Paul's ministry and beyond...

    Enduring to the end... not for us in the body of Christ

    Yes, I agree, but if the definition of His kingdom coming is that God's will is done on earth, then the church (the body of Christ) embodies the kingdom. If his body is us, then His kingdom has come on earth, at least to some extent. 2 Corinthians 1:6 KJV — And whether we be afflicted, it is...

    Enduring to the end... not for us in the body of Christ

    So, if someone dies before the kingdom comes about, then they didn't endure to the end, so they can't enter the kingdom, right? Meaning that if you survive past the end of Jacob's trouble, then you will get to move on to the kingdom? It's all about survival, right? If you die, then that means...

    Enduring to the end... not for us in the body of Christ

    Well, your point, if I understand it correctly, is that there is a difference between how a Jew is saved compared to a Christian, and the difference you are focusing on is that Jews must endure to the end, and Christians don't have to endure to the end of anything. Please correct me if I've got...

    Enduring to the end... not for us in the body of Christ

    Right. So you are going to explain the context for me? We're talking about salvation, but I don't see anywhere that says Christians aren't supposed to endure, do you? So tell me, when is it ok for Christians not to endure?

    Enduring to the end... not for us in the body of Christ

    So, how much should we endure, if not to the end? Is it ok for Christians to give up at the first hint of persecution, and bow to Caesar? If not the first hint, what about the 3rd or 4th or 10th or 100th? When is it ok for a Christian to stop enduring?

    Is death just another life?

    Maybe it's his lazy way of asking you to clarify.

    Is death just another life?

    And we choose whether to apply it in our minds or not (faith).

    My propane guy confided to me when he delivered the other day that he was working on an antigravity device.

    Or maybe time runs downhill. The closer you get to the bottom, the slower it runs :-D

    Ice circles are related to contrails? Who, exactly, is being hypnotized?

    Global Biblical Flood Hydroplate Theory Analysis and Discussion

    Interestingly, the sources I checked said there are NO dinosaur fossils there because the strata are all too old. But there are ground sloths and mammoths, etc. The reason they gave was that the latter fossils were in caves, I.e., they were not buried with the sediments, but afterward. This...

    Rotating sheet ice in Washington state.

    That's the problem with not sticking to the OP topic. Your OP was about rotating ice sheets. Why are you asking about contrails? And let's assume someone is putting something in our atmosphere for some ungodly reason. Are you suggesting a cure or a way to prevent it?
