Yes, that is true! Thanks for pointing it out. Do you agree that the headline is misleading?

That was a complete hand wave.

Ok, That's one explanation. @Arthur Brain @annabenedetti @eider What do you all think? What would be the purpose of over-inflating Texas deaths due to this storm. If the article is true, then some 50+people from other states have died due to the same storm or storms, even without power...

Can someone explain this headline and article to me? ------------------------------------- Around 70 Suspected Hypothermia Deaths Reported in Texas Homes After Deep Freeze By The Associated Press...

Except for "dummy", This is a much better response than "idiot" and "moron"! Thanks for changing your tone. Derf

Then what does the Spirit do with the body when the body is not spiritually dead? If we don't understand what 'spiritually alive" means with respect to the body, how can we know what "spiritually dead" means with respect to the body? I think it's only stupid and unrelated because it shows that...

So you're saying that our minds/wills, which are spirit-led, have no control over our bodies whatsoever? When Paul said, "those who stole, steal no longer" he only meant "don't think about stealing, even as your body is robbing a bank"? That seems odd.

I don't want to insult such a well-written post with a simple answer, but can you explain this verse for me, at least the "body is dead" part? [Rom 8:10 KJV] 10 And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

...says the one with issues.

I see you gave your definition of death and said it was from the bible, but I don't see anywhere that you showed where it was from in the bible. The second death is easy. It's defined in Rev 20 as "the lake of fire", which is NOT the same as defining it as "separation", though that may indeed be...

Could you give the definition for death from the bible? I'm in agreement with you that Jesus is God and that Jesus died, but @Hilltrot is right to question Jesus' "death" if it's not like other deaths of humans.

Hi Bright Raven. I think you are pretty clear on what Jesus is saying there. But He made it more clear with other passages. Here are a couple verses we studied this past Sunday: [Jhn 17:3 KJV] And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou...

I'm not sure I understand your statement. Are you saying "I" (Derf) cannot make such a statement? Or nobody can make such a statement? I agree with the first, but disagree with the second, as Jesus made that statement. The reason He can make such a statement is what we're trying to figure out...

It wasn't just whether they did or didn't recommend its use. They prohibited its use in many states (including mine) for Covid19 treatment, firing those doctors who thought it ok to prescribe. They gen'd up excess hysteria over its dangers when it has been used safely for 70 years. They removed...

Greatest good for Him or for us? For Him, it would be hard to say, but it is His pleasure to create, being a creative person. For us, as He is the definition of good, it is for us to understand that and act accordingly. The greatest good would be for us to be in complete submission to Him at...

Always lots of good thoughts from you, Clete. He didn't have to create them in His image, either, but once He did, it seems like He saddled Himself with some responsibility to honor His own image, yet also to be just. This kind of goes back to the rules for justice and mercy, which I don't know...

Point to what?

I've been thinking through this idea of what God had planned and what He didn't. I think there was a purpose in so innocuous a test--that the first couple would fail, though there could have been other tests if they had not on the first one. Remember that Jesus endured 3 temptations in the...

That's a way of looking at it. But it shows that we most often look at it from how it affects us, which is the kind of thinking that got us in trouble in the first place. That's the kind of thinking that imho is going to be eliminated in order for "everything to be put right." If we are...

I'm having trouble trusting any group that disagrees with itself. That includes WHO, CDC, and most of the US governors and politicians who mandate masks and shutdowns, but don't follow their own restrictions.
