https://www.yahoo.com/tv/don-rickles-legendary-comedian-actor-183100940.html The last of the politically incorrect! WARNING: His jokes are not for the faint of hearts.

I listened to the candidates at Power Play on CTV with Don Martin. I'm still voting for Leitch.

If you had them on ignore, how do you know they "keep trolling around." FYI, I don't think members are complaining because he's "trolling." How do you define a troll, anyway? We're complaining because he's SPAMMING! He's posting the same propaganda in every thread! And he's trying to derail the discussions. At least that's what I'm complaining about. And yes, he's a whiny spammer, to boot - just look at this thread he created.

Moderators used to remove posts that are considered out-of-topic. I'd seen strings of conversations that derailed the topic, disappear. Why can't you do that? At the very least?

It's hard not to believe it. North Korea has been provided with time - as the UN go through with its bureaucracy of trying to get everyone to agree what to do, and the endless sanctions they'd given to N Korea (which obviously doesn't work on N Korea) - we can't really say if indeed N Korea can hit any nation with its nuke or not. We're talking a really nasty scenario of mass destruction, that could wipe out a small country and bring such devastation to everyone. If intel says yes, http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/north-korean-defector-tells-lester-holt-world-should-be-ready-n741901 I think we have to believe that it can, on the side of caution. To assume that yes, N Korea is very much close to being capable.

My Bible Study is a King James. But I also use NIV, NKJ ....as explained by the article, there's really no significant difference.

https://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-literal.html Thus we should know what the topic is all about (or the chapter), when we try to understand what the Bible says. http://www.bible.ca/b-many-versions.htm Of course, there are new "mainstream" Bibles that have been printed which caters to political correctness. One example would be the "Queen James Bible."

It depends. Is every word true? The Bible has figures of speech. If it says it rains cats and dogs, are we supposed to take that literally? Is every metaphor to be taken literally? Like the Shepherd and the sheep? The Lamb of God?

Hot enough has been derailing discussions! He has continued to do so even after I reported him. What's being done about it? You guys still "thinking things over?"

You mean, all opposition to his views ought to be silenced. Soft jihad works only on stupid people, you know.......

Most of those distractions are coming from you. You're spewing your propaganda on practically all threads. You try to distract from the thread topics. Some would call that "spamming." Spamming is against forum rules. You're trying to control what we discuss in this forum!

Are you referring to your world in turmoil thread? Do you think giving rebuttals and showing you why you're wrong in theory, a degradation of your thread? By giving rebuttals, we're degrading it? You post a topic, and you don't expect any counter? Yoo hoo? Are you lost? You're in a forum!

Talk about honesty. If you're taking that to heart, http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums/profile/113610-hot-enough/?status=10322&type=status then why did you send me this veiled threat in my pm for that response in your status update? I say "what a doober" for foolishness. I picked that up from hubby, and I asked him what a doober is. You should complain if I said, "what a wanker." You said something foolish. Wear it proudly. You should do as I do. I ignored all the direct insults you threw on me in practically all threads I participated in, or created. What I did was finally report you for relentlessly trying to derail my topic, after I repeatedly asked you not to.

Shady's gone too?

So? What, you think Christians hate Christ just because I said the world hates Christ?

Who got you all upset and agitated now? You got clobbered again?

Did I say you hate Christ?

Lol. Ignorance can count too, why the world hates Christ/God. So......after all your long tirade, what you ranted still fall under what Jesus had explained: because of LUST and PRIDE!

Romans 2 12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)

There is reason why the world hates Christ. There is a reason why the world fear the existence of the Biblical God. 1 John 2 On Not Loving the World 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[d] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. John 15 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. The world doesn't like the rules given by the Biblical God.

Defending the faith, I'm not doing this for me. I'm not doing it for New Atheists either, who are bent on distorting, maligning and ridiculing the Bible - although it would be great if any one of them would take a pause and be open-minded about this. I'm doing this for those non-believers who are seeking, those who are doing researches in their hope to find the truth, and those that are being confused by what people like Richard Dawkins are trying to peddle.
