Why assume that? Is a war a "mass shooting event elsewhere"?

What kind of answer is that to a legitimate question?

What gun control law would have prevented WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Russia/Ukraine, etc? Just give us one example.

Why can't propitiation be by proxy? Isn't Christ's death applied to us imputationally? Didn't Christ die in our place? So we don't propitiate for ourselves...Christ does it for us. Definition of propitiate to gain or regain the favor or goodwill of : APPEASE If all our works are as filthy...

We're not, but this is why you have a hard time understanding what I'm saying--you are only reading the scriptures with your presuppositions, so you can't actually get truth from scripture. Which you don't actually have. You have no body that is already dead, because you are still alive. If you...

Feminism is about women showing they can be as good a man as a man. Now we know it leads to women not being as good a woman as a man. This is not meant as a slight to women being women, but to show the hypocrisy of the movement.

You should. It explains why we are no longer in bondage to sin. Which body is obviously NOT dead...so what does Paul mean here? Yes, indeed. The not-yet-dead body, which cannot be quickened, except it die (1 Corinthians 15:36 KJV — Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it...

Heb 2:15 tells us. Romans 8:11 KJV — But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall (future tense) also quicken your mortal bodies (physical bodies subject to death, even though they aren't dead yet) by his Spirit that...

Including England.

I was trying to understand a different definition of death than has been used before, since those other ones didn't fit. That seems red-herring-ish to me.

In some verbiage, perhaps. But consider Adam's newly formed body before God breathed into it the breath of life. Was it "dead", or just "non-living"? The difference is that "dead" usually only applies to something that has already lived in some fashion. When you say your phone is "dead", you...

Still, hope springs eternal...

@Hoping. I've come across something that illustrates my issue with your use of words in a way that isn't supported by their meaning. The word "literally" means "actually", as in "I literally blew a gasket when I over-revved my car's engine." You might recognize "blew a gasket" as a figurative...

I heard a pastor say something like this recently. He had been studying about (and even wrote a book about) prayer, and he had come to the conclusion that God acts on our prayers of today by doing something before the prayer was made (maybe yesterday or a year ago) which was in direct answer to...

No problem. "It" didn't exist when Christ was crucified and buried. "It" is still in the process of dying. "It" has not been raised to walk in newness of life, because "it" hasn't died yet. Because it is symbolic. Christ died for us substitutionarily. We have died only "in Christ", not...

So you agree it's not our death that's a propitiation? That's good. Do you remember what started this part of the conversation? So now that you've said Christ's death is the propitiation, re-read col 3:3, and tell me what kind of dead are we in that verse?

As I said, your words don't fit the uses in common English, much less those in the Bible. Romans 8:11 KJV — But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you...

To keep from dying of boxing injuries, the best thing is to die of something else, don't you think?
