  1. Anyone can be redeemed, on condition, as explained in Romans 3:24 meaning anyone can find salvation through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.................Now if you're a Catholic, there are some additional loop-holes garnered through the rubbing of beads and confessing your transgressions to a guy in a box
  2. Remember Matthew 7: I don't think this requires further explanation.............furthermore, in regards to the usage of "ugly words", let me remind you further from Galatians 1:9 Those were some pretty "ugly words" back in the day.........none the less, you're not in the position to cast judgement.
  3. I could be wrong, but I always assumed one needed a permanent address for a landline. I think they've squared the circle of putting the internets into phones now Huh? Do you suggest refugees should just forward their contact info through the local library?
  4. When Jesus comes back, he will be taking a new name/title.....I don't know that my soul has a position, but when his new name is made known, we'll be in the end times....I haven't given it much thought as to why he'll be given a new name. Maybe there will be a closer relationship between him and his followers after the final victory over evil?
  5. I didn't even think about that for their actual job search (that's a good point), I was thinking more along the lines of a potential employer being able to contact them......unless they are in their permanent rentals, how would they even mange a landline? I would assume they have no credit history, hence they would be required to put down a deposit for services, versus purchasing a pay and talk phone from 7/11......
  6. What if they are using the cellphone in their search for work?
  7. I think one could easily find the intended meaning (and consequence) from within Matthew 25: The intent should be self explanatory..........don't be an asshole if you desire the nicer path after your addiction to air ends
  8. Why would you do that? I haven't read the thread, but I would think, if its in the appropriate section of the forum and not meant to cause offense, you should be good to go, regardless if I'm not personally interested or others call into question your mental state. If all this forum is meant for is to recycle a handful of generic topics, it should be no surprise it has dwindling use.......likewise, if current members are always quick to jump on new members (That might be new to English).....
  9. Exactly, though you can't fault Trudeau for the dive in oil prices, you can look to policies enacted (and proposed) both at the Federal and Provincial level that deter investment in Canada........ Exactly, and I fully expect our economy to go full dumpster fire before it gets better.......Look at Alberta, and all the laid off O&G workers that will start seeing their EI benefits end in the near future.....which will result in further foreclosures in the Alberta market, which will depress construction, then spill into the other Provinces and their real estate and construction markets etc........won't be pretty.
  10. I think the moderator already addressed the context of said posts, in that they should contain a basis for a discussion, in the appropriate area of the forum..............I don't how MLW would consider philosophical poetry on religion off key, but allow topics on Star Wars, favorite music and the Toronto Blue Jays.........
  11. How many of those "German citizens" are actually German? You link to protests in Stuttgart, Stuttgart's population is nearly half foreign born, and of that,nearly half again aren't even German citizens........Stuttgart being one of the major (former) West German cities to see a massive post-war influx of Turkish Muslims.........
  12. You might need to revisit Revelation 5: Furthermore: But remember: Meaning the Lamb had to be killed to be revered........false Lambs will be ignored (at worse) or killed by Federal agents (at best) and maybe receive mention in their own Wikipedia page.....steer clear of hubris and eagerness if you want to see the face of God.....and remember, those that don't are made mention in Revelation 20:
  13. In my opinion, your answer can be found within Ephesians 5:33: In other words, an "improved love" is gained with a foundation of mutual respect. --------------- I spoke to "real love" above, as to "imagined love", returning to the manual, look to Romans 16:17-18: As such, imagined love is only a plight brought upon the simple minded, those ignorant of our Lord Jesus Christ, that would use words to deceive another, as opposed to the above mentioned foundation of mutual respect.
  14. That's best left to a discussion over policing methods, both its reactionary and preemptive nature. Using your example, I would assume if a middle age white male was hanging around a playground watching children, concerned parents would contact the police, and police would most certainly investigate. I, a middle age white male, wouldn't take offense, but consider it due diligence on the part of police........as I said, they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
  15. In other words, Exegesisme's metaphysical posts are welcome, if they are linked to a discussion on their content?
  16. Are they? If police issue an Amber alert for a kidnapped child, and their suspect is a middle age white male, they say so, but I don't think most middle aged white males take offense.
  17. Is this a serious question?
  18. Fair enough, but when does "racial profiling" in the context that you oppose, cross the line from being descriptive information?
  19. No, I, like the vast majority of Canadians, defer public safety to the police and security services.
  20. I never said that there was, granted there was enough suspicion to warrant an investigation by the VPD.
  21. You're the one that brought up my ethnicity........I have no idea why.
  22. In the context of the media's publication, and the VPD's investigation at the time, how do you know this?
