The Car with No Brakes:
Here's another example of God's providence. I have others too, but this one is really special to me.
I drove into the downtown area, parking in my dentist’s parking lot. After my check up, I pushed the clut…

No matter how troubling my remarks might be, I'm only saying you and the popular buzz do not know as much as you think about the situation. If you were really concerned, you would hold all of reasonable age accountable and not make exc…

I do not think things are as black & white as you imagine them to be. There are victims and there are accomplices who unload their guilt claiming to be the victim you and others make them out to be. But the boys I knew certainly we…

I appreciate your concern for the victims. But in my experience I knew several who bore the brunt of the blame. And to let these skate, giving them a free pass when they are just as guilty is morally wrong. It's back to some claiming "…

I'm asking why a Christian would want one.

I'm not saying there aren't "innocent victims". But all any need to do is yell rape! and remove all suspicion that they aren't in on it. (some exceptions exist.) Deuteronomy 22:23–24

Why would a Christian want a shot gun other than for shooting skeet? Or hunting animals?

If you are aware that God uses sin to punish sin, it stands out when you read through your bible. Some of the worst cases are in Deuteronomy 28 where greater sins follow previous sins.
Pharaoh is another good example. Also King…

A shotgun is one of the deadliest weapons available. You could get the perp and three or four other people with one shot. Is that your calling?

You are using typical Christian understanding that the Jews have nothing to do with.

We need to consider the background of Peter's teaching. And it does not match your hypothesis. It does tie in with mine however. The Jews knew the Messiah was God. But they did not know he was a man too until Peter set them straight.
(Quote)Please do, I thought you might have plenty to share.
(Quote)I understand what you are saying, but please consider God's wrath for sin and his using sin to punish sin. “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God …
(Quote)How crazy is this? To build a case on incomplete evidence? As I said, the Jews knew the Messiah was God, they just didn't know he was a man too. Thus Peter selling them on the idea.
(Quote)You and Wolfgang would be jailhouse buddies if you suppressed evidence in a court of law like you do on this forum.
I agree this is a sickening situation. But I think the media is giving lopsided info in not spreading the blame around more realistically. In my case, it happened so long ago I don't know how it all turned out. But I think all eventually feel the…
(Quote)You can't present partial truth and ignore later truth that has bearing on it. It would be withholding evidence in a court of law if you tried it in the real world.
(Quote)You would do time for withholding evidence if you tried to prove your point in a court of law.
(Quote)All of what I'm mentioning happened in the 50s & 60s. Things were out of hand then and worse today. The priest was only one pedophile resource the boys tapped.
(Quote)I believe Pedophile Priests and School Teachers should behave too, and not let the kids have their way with them. But all are guilty in God's eyes.
Peter needed to convince the Jews of the Messiah's humanity. They already knew the Messiah was God. Only not in the sense you and they stumbled over.
(Quote)You are making more out of this than what I said. I.e. embellishing for your own advantage. The priest was a known pedophile among the students. And this is why they visited him. They were as bad as he was. And the brothel visiting tee…
(Quote)I don't know how tall the corn was in your parts, but we had some pretty rotten kids doing some pretty rotten things. I remember at least two different occasions where car loads of highschool guys went to brothels in the area. And seve…
(Quote)If we engage each other's texts the solution and harmony is in Christ's divinity.
““While I was watching, thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His attire was white like snow; the hair of his head was like lamb’s wool. His throne was ablaze with fire and its wheels were all aflame. A river of fire was str…
You can make scripture say almost anything you want. But it is no different from withholding evidence in court. Think about how dishonest this is. We have many scriptures proclaiming Christ's divinity and many proclaiming his humanity. But to bui…
(Quote)Were the Jews expecting God and not a man in their Messiah?
"... the problem was not that they were expecting something less than God in the flesh, the problem was they were not expecting a lowly appearance. They expected his r…
Based on what I've seen, sometimes the kids want to be molested. I remember car loads of guys (underage) going to the local brothel. And I think the ones going to the local priest had similar ideas.
This is perplexing. I wonder if the job attracts pedophiles. It seems we see more of this in other churches and in schools too.
As a teen, some of the guys would visit a local priest in order to be molested. So I think gray areas exist in…
