If teachers were cut out to be cops, they would have been cops. If cops were cut out to be teachers, they would have been teachers. It's like expecting the soccer coach to play first violin in the symphony or worse.

(Quote)I attended schools in two different states. And It was in both places.
(Quote)I think we would need to grow up in each school system to know the extent of violence. I know of mental abuse, physical, and sexual abuse in the last school system I attended and mental abuse in one before that. Years later I spoke wit…
(Quote)Again, I think some schools are better than others and perhaps you were more fortunate. But neither of us have been outside our circles. So you reflect your experiences and I reflect mine. I'm glad you had it as good as you did.
Thanks for your reply. I think the later persecution stems from the Talmud because of its position on gentiles.
And the earlier persecution would stem from the oral traditions that became the Talmud.
But with Jesus, or any calling…
(Quote)But, you assume I'm lying. God knows my heart. You can only judge me by yours.
(Quote)Thanks for your reply, I thought the thread went unnoticed. I think the articles are interesting since they reflect scripture about people choosing according to their nature, and never apart from it.
(Quote)So you are calling me a liar. How can I back it up without documentation?
(Quote)I'm glad your teaching experience was more pleasant. But I've seen what I'm talking about first hand and have not mentioned the rest.
I think if teachers wanted to be cops, they would have went that way. Or visa versa. But to t…
(Quote)They might be extreme, but I think it is regional too. Some schools have a different type of student than others. Also age groups seem to play a role. But I've seen many teachers snap over the years, only to return and snap again days,…
I remember talking a teacher down who was pacing the floor soaking up whiskey after a day on the job in the classroom. He was thinking of enlisting for duty in Desert Storm that had just broken out. I would not want him armed. I also remember tea…
(Quote)Thanks for sharing your insights. I'm not justifying Luther because I too have major disagreements with him. But based on the Talmud, I understand how the Jews experienced persecution from the one hundred or so gentile nations since 70…
We should pray for Donald too. But at the same time, it is when we bottom out and come to the end of ourselves that we trust in Christ. And only then..... So maybe we are seeing this here.
(Quote)I edited my original reply. I think it is more clear now. Please take time to read it again.
(Quote)Thanks for keeping this thought alive. What I'm saying is that we all judge others by our own hearts. If it would take hatred on your part to speak in the ways Luther spoke, you assume hatred drives his thoughts. But this is not the ca…
If you ever read Luther's Bondage of the Will in his dialog with Erasmus, Luther is brash and verbally offensive to many. So if we try to isolate his dialog with the Jews and separate it from his dialog with Catholics, we will not understand that…
(Quote)I like metaphors. Many times they are the only way to understand spiritual truth.
(Quote)Is it appropriate for Christians to speak out against injustice and call murderers murderers? Or liars liars? I believe we are never to judge people except by their works or their own writings. Just a cursory reading of the Talmud can …
(Quote)Thanks for your work in developing this. I like the Nestle Aland 28 translation of Jude 5 that also tells us Jesus is YHWH.
“Now I desire to remind you (even though you have been fully informed of these facts once for all) that…
(Quote)Thanks for your interesting take on this. I think people try to make God loving at the expense of right and wrong. But God is both love and righteousness.
So God cannot remain loving without righteousness. It would be a sleazy …
(Quote)Thanks for your reply. The big difference between us is that I can trust God instead of myself (whom I cannot trust) to deliver the goods.
(Quote)I've never said the Devil or people do not have free will in a certain sense. I've always said people and animals act according to their nature. A cat freely chooses to do what cats do, etcetera.
But as Jesus said: “Jesus answe…
(Quote)So I ask, were the Jews ever in the "spirit of Christ"? I think fair treatment of both sides is in the spirit of Christ.
(Quote)I think Luther got his opinions about the Jews from their own writings and attitudes towards the gentiles (goyim). Whom they regard as beasts and animals in the Talmud. I found 18 or so volumes of the Soncino English Talmud freely avai…
(Quote)How do you view Satan in relation to God?
Here is the WCF on angels and their sins. Satan being an angel. What do you think?

(Quote)“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” (Isaiah 45:7)

(Quote)Lucifer did not become Satan. That's a reading into Isaiah and Ezekiel substituting satan for the King of Tyre and the King of Babylon.
Ecclesiastes says there's nothing new under the sun. And so it is with modern science. People are idol worshipers wanting to walk by sight rather than faith. So they make God into something they can see and touch.
Modern science sees the …
(Quote)The wages of sin is death and sickness in all its forms.
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.…
