Of course He didn't. Yet He used them on a regular basis to describe other things, along with metaphors, parables, and He even hid things from people to accomplish His will that would have otherwise saved them. Circumcision is a symbol of something else. Don't like it? Too bad. That's what...

Indeed it is. You'd think I would know that, being an admin here... I think that such was an intentionally offensive statement.

That, and this thread, reminds me of this video... https://store.kgov.com/video-fruitcake-dvd-or-video-download/

It wasn't obvious. Had you made the distinction, I wouldn't have said anything. But you didn't, so I did. God made man from the dust of the ground. That's life from non-life, in the purely strictest sense. But of course, God was involved, so to be more accurate, life cannot come from...

You think that you can't get infected if you don't "hang around in enclosed spaces with other, potentially infected, people"? False dilemma. There's a third option. Follow proper quarantine procedures for those who are sick, and allow the rest of society to go about their daily lives as...

God has ALWAYS existed (infinite duration). At some point in His eternal existence, He decided to create, and then about 7000 years ago, He did so. Prior to His creating, nothing existed besides Himself. I'm not sure what you mean. Could you please clarify? Duh. But God is "The Living...

Unlike what Bwood suggested, the parable did, in fact, make it into the Bible, same as the other passages I mentioned.

I admire Yoshihide-sama's patience when dealing with our oaf of a "leader."

Not sure what you're reading... Luke 10:31 is the parable of the Good Samaritan. Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.Now by chance a certain...

I believe 1 and 2, since God, the intelligent designer, who is the Living God, has existed eternally.

Jesus certainly believed there was such thing as "by chance." (Luke 10:31) And there are other instances in the Bible where "chance" is mentioned. (1 Samuel 6:9; 2 Samuel 1:6; Ecclesiastes 9:11) As for Ruth meeting Boaz, why couldn't it be "by chance"?

I was mostly talking about those whom you've seen die from Covid...

In other words, would you agree that these people who DID die, did not have much longer to live anyways? (pre-existing conditions that were made worse by becoming infected with the virus, for example) Say, perhaps less than a year or two, if even that?

And?

You shouldn't use fallacies as the basis for your doctrine. This is an argument from incredulity. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. - 2 Timothy 2:15...

Sure we can. It's called God cutting off unbelieving Israel and putting His plan for them on hold. Paul, as the first member of the Body of Christ, in which there is no longer a distinction between Jew and Gentile, rebuked Peter because he was being a hypocrite.

A fully functional economy will naturally improve people's standard of living. Unfortunately, our economy has been largely destroyed due to greed and lust for power by our government, and the above is just another example of that. "We're from the government and we're here to help!" Nine...
