  1. Lol....yep those ashes are just blowing in the wind. Just wonder for how long. This is why as a Republican we must take the house in Nov and remain in the Senate. Sure would be something to see what Trump could actually accomplish if he had some support with out opposition around every corner....oh me, wouldn't that be grande BTW Coors, I have never really cared about politics very much, but by your encouragement 3 and a half years ago it now sorta makes my world go around. It's some good stuff
  2. I have to agree with ya Jim. But I don't ever remember Adam trying to intimidate by putting one down because they don't belong to the elite " club". Altho he has encouraged and even promotes good deals to be VIP he hasn't disparaged anyone for not. You are right, just another swat from one that feels the right to bully and show control. This continues to be a very irritating force here and causes more conflict and aggravation between dvers than anyone else. We seem to always be on tiptoes not knowing when it will strike again. I'm sure there are many here that become very irritable about my faith and my voice in the matter but I have learned not to push and ram down another's throat. I've learned the hard way not to accuse. If you read me that's fine, if you don't that's fine too. But the intimidation and accusation around here truly needs to stop. It's not funny, it's not cute and certainly doesn't bring about respect of others. This really needs to stop.
  3. I tell ya what !!! Patrick Philbin,one of the Presidents lawyers has blown every question away. He has brought forth every law and been able to dispute everything the Dems have managed to twist by the law. This young mans name should become a household name for all of us that want justice and want our constitution to stay in tact. I am very impressed, in fact if I could vote for Supreme court judges, he would certainly have my vote in the next available seat. I'm just not sure hes old enough for eligibility. Of course anyone under 35 years of age any more looks like a kid to me. I bet he doesn't live in his parents basement. Check him out, he has made the case for the President. And I believe it's just about over.........jmo
  4. My church also has been in prayer for the change of hearts. For healing of our nation. I have been so impressed with the prayers of the Senate Chaplin of the hearings. He is calling for the right change of hearts by the power of God knowing that God is the only one that can bring forth a change of heart. Also that Gods will, will be done... Dinardivo, if you have not heard his prayers at the beginning of each session you should make it a point to listen. His prayers are exactly what is needed and what all of us should be praying for. God is listening.
  5. Shabbs, no offense taken at all. His song is all so true. "LET JUSTICE ROLL DOWN". Not yours or mine but Gods. I dont think there is an objection here except when he sung about babies in cages. Who started with the babies in cages? Obama ! If he is putting down Christian's for supporting Trump, he's is steering in the wrong direction. As I've indicated many times before, there are many things that Trump does that is unnerving and literally against some of my wants and desires but he is prolife. He produced a humane way for these children and he has reckoned to do as he promised from the beginning. We look at things from our own hearts and ways instead of Gods ways. He fails to look at God in the beginning and what God has for His people. How can the song writer judge what God has put into his children's hearts. God calls us to make the best decisions we can according to His word. We only have 2 choices in elections. We are deemed to vote the best we can of the 2. Any Democrat at this point would go against any believer that truely depends on Gods word and believes Gods word as absolute. Actually his song is very true, We have ALL turned from Gods word. Time to start living it again. Gods judgement has been promised to every nation of every man and woman. Let Gods judgement roll down.....and it is so....thanks for sharing
  6. Where to start? As a retiree I have had the privilege to watch this unfolding from the very start. I watched and heard every witness when the Dems declared impeachment proceedings in the bunker and have not missed one iota since it has been marched over to the Senate. I have stayed away from news articles, even turning away from fox news when Hannity, Ingram, Levin and Rush have brought in their opinions. I have held on purely to every word brought forth from both sides which I believe has enabled me to see the hypocrisy and the true dealings of the democratic party. They would truely destroy our constitution in exchange for their own power. I have never witnessed such hate for another human being nor the power-hungar that could actually be the first act to destroy our nation.. I have seen the twisted lies from the Dems as from my own remembrance of their so called witnesses. The old saying "say it enough then most will believe it and it becomes true" has been consistent in their lowdown tactics which has been soely sought thru-out these whole proceedings. Surely they will be held accountable for such underhanded dealings. I can only pray that it is the Lords will to open every eye of the American people to see the corruption and hold these men and women accountable for the attempt to bring destruction and the downfall of our country. Now that I have given my opinion, I have a thought about something that has come up about Bolton and his book. How in the world will calling Bolton help them. If his book is under review with the NSC and cannot be released until further investigation then he certainly can't be called as a witness and detail what's in his book. How will this help the dems? The Dems have one thing on their mind and that is taking control of the 2020 election. They have proven themselves to be the most corrupt and underhanded group of lawlessness that I have ever witnessed. We all should be outraged. We should have the wisdom and foresight to understand that we just can't go on like this and expect our children and grandchildren to have a future of law. Yes, each of us can give our own opinions and fuss about it all day long but in the end there will only be one winner and that winner will be the one that holds true to the standards that God has set before us. We all know His truths, are we letting our hearts be swayed by our own desires and wants just so we can put up a deceitful arguement as the Dems have done for the power or so we can say "yep, I won that one?" This whole thing has been disgusting but has enabled most of us to embrace and stand firm for actual truth. It has enabled us to see the real depravity and what man will actually do for power and control. Maybe, this is why it was designed to help each of us see the true evils of the world we live in......I know that I am saddened and have more concerns about the future generations than ever. Man continues to contribute to evil and brings about its growth. I fear it is nearly full blown if God doesn't intervene and put His hand back on our Nation. I've rambled enough. I know much of what I've expressed here means very little to many of you and that's ok with me. I pray for our Country everyday. I pray for the future of our children everyday. We just can't let these unlawful things continue if we value the lives of our loved ones. Gods word will stand whether we use it or not. I just know in my heart that it's time that we look at tomorrow instead of putting all our focus on today and who will win today and who was right and who was wrong. It is clear that we need help and that help will not come from government.
  7. Koby Bryant has been killed in helicopter crash. It is speculated that his daughter was with him and also perished. Wife was not with them. A special report by Sheriff's office will be conducted at 5:00 on fox news. I have no further info at this time......
  8. Wow, LGD I really don't want to start a ruckus with you but to disagree with you exposing who does and who doesn't give negs around here. Don't you think that if Adam had thought that was a good idea from the beginning that he/himself would have implemented this function? I disagree with you bringing this to others attention. It makes me think that you are either trying to show that you have inside rights that others are not privy to or you want to sway others to dislike the ones you dislike. I have never seen the other Moderators here show such bias. This makes several times now that you have brought this to everyone's attention. In fact, indirectly you are calling the neggers liars by calling them out like this. None of us probably would have ever known that Mods have the ability to see who rubies and who negs if you had not told us. Why do you insist on pitting one side against another and causing friction promoting sides and causing anger. I just don't get it. It's enough hostility here without your further interference. Do you think that if everyone knows that if you can see rubies and negs that perhaps they will think twice about negging you? Just asking.....I find your actions here a poor display of someone that has been put in charge of carrying out rules and regulations......UNBELIEVABLE, and actually not at all what one expects from a moderator. The other moderators don't display such behavior, maybe that's why that most here respect them so much. I just dont get it!
  9. LOL...I can't believe I watched that.. thank goodness I missed the Saturday morning follies. In the 70s I was a newly wed, mid 70s expecting a child and I was spared from the excitement. But what about that Chrissy doll that her hair grows, pretty cute and of course I remember "Mikie, he'll eat anything". The fake bake barbie doll, yeah she was pretty hot. But that monkey game, oh me, I would have rushed my child to the hospital if I'd seen him act and wiggle like that.....convulsions...?????..ha, it was all good for a laugh but I'm so glad I missed out. I'm sure its good memories for many here. Thanks for sharing ba.
  10. I hope she gets every nickels of it and survives to tell it. The Clinton's have been doing their dirty deeds long before Tulsas sister came along. They seem to have mastered life and death situations.
  11. Okay, I think I understand. If my stomach is growling it means I'm hungry? But if I go to Ukraine then I'll be pretty close to Hungary? Right? Thanks Shabb, it is always such joy to hear from you and now I can even count on Geography lessons or would that be History lessons?....always a joy. Have a good day.
  12. well Shabbs, I have to disagree....impeachment will be forgotten by all come Nov.. True enough it will go down in the history books but Trump will be dead and gone as you and I, so the words hurt no one. The Dems have demonstrated only that they will lie,cheat and steal to win a election. This alone has been what has hurt our country and besides that right now I'm Hungary. You should head to the kitchen. Whoops, how do ya spell hungry?`
  13. Senate Impeachment Hearings...... Exciting times indeed as Shabbs has already voiced. I made caramel popcorn molded into a elephant with a tint of red. Got a cheese ball ready to go with green and black olives chilling. Some of those little wrapped wieners wrapped in cheese bread with jalapeno. Of course the nachos and chips are ready. A cheese and vegetable platter.....yum, yum. Oh! even tho it's cold outside, we have turn the heat up full blast and the cooler is iced down with plenty of ice cold beer. After rules have been laid out, we are all set. I wonder if head or tales will be involved. I'm looking at heads we win tales you lose kinda thing. Exciting times? YES. I believe the game is just about over and my team is in the lead.....let's eat
  14. This is how it should be. Respect and acceptance for the Presdident of the United States of America, it made me feel good and I just couldn't keep from smiling and feeling proud for this man that is truely trying to lead this nation to the best it can possibly be,
  15. Thank you LGD. I know you meant no harm nor I for you. I realize that I come off very rude at times which really isn't my nature but with God and His word there is no compromise. Not for friends, any denomination or institution or even my husband and children. Like you I harbor no ill feelings towards you. I truely pray for your very best. You have shown pictures of your whole family that I know you love very much. I pray only good for you and your beautiful little girls. I will respect your faith and even try to be kinder when we are in disagreement. I realize we both are headstrong about certain things. Probably best to let these things lay still between us. God bless you and your family. Thank you for your undeniable understanding post toward my faith. I pray I can be the same, thank you.
  16. LGD, I have been hesitant to respond to your post here. Mainly because I know that in past times we have butted heads and there has never been any sort of reconciliation on either side. I will try to be kind in my words but realize that some of this may sound harsh. This is not my intent but for once and all to let you know that I'm not interested in the Catholic faith, their history, government or beliefs, as this to me is not Bibical. I have taken much time this weekend to read and study about the Catholic religion and once again it has confirmed my beliefs as a Christian. I think we can agree that the main issue concerning any church and its practices should be "is it Bibical?" If a teaching is Bibical then it should be embraced. If it is not then it should be rejected. I will not go into the 7 sacraments that the Catholic Churche imposes only to say that they are not Bibical in my studies, therefore I reject them. The time I took this weekend was to consider your claims about the sacraments and church history not to disprove but to stand firm according to Gods word the Bible. I must note in my studies I found that over the many centuries of its digressive development that the Catholic church has widely fluctuated as to what exactly constitutes a genuine sacrament. In fact the number of scaraments has varied from 5 to 12. It was not until the session of Trent in 1549 that the number 7 became fixed as in the article of the CC faith. This alone pretty much paints the picture of the CC scaraments as well as history. I do not believe that King James took out the word Catholic out of the Bible because of his dispute with the Pope, but mainly believe that he was more against the Geneva Bible which was more reformed. Plus and most importantly, the 7 scaraments held by the CC WAS NOT INSTITUTED BY JESUS. You maintain that the CC proclaims itself to be the church of Jesus Christ, died for, was set up by and was established and built by the Apostles. I say this is untrue, it is not Bibical. Anyone reading the NT will see and can see there is no mention of the papacy, worship or adoration of Mary or the immaculate conception of Mary. To go on, there is no mention of infant baptism, a confession of sin to a priest. No purgatory or equal authority of the church and Scripture. So if these are just a few of the things that are not the teachings of Jesus and His Apostles as recorded in the NT, how can the origin of the CC be the 1st Christian Faith? It can not be so. The very Bible, the God breathed inspiration of Gods word is proof of this. In fact the Rome empired persecuted the Christians. This is what I found this weekend. The Catholic Church is a compromise of Christianity and the pagan religions. Instead of proclaiming the one and only true gospel and converting pagans they have "CHRISTIANIZED" the pagan religion and "PAGANIZED" Christianity. I read somewhere this weekend and please be reminded that it was a Catholic site. That the Catholic stands on a three-legged stool. And I quote: #1. Catholics "also" would say the Bible is the word of God. #2. Sacred tradition. #3. and the teaching authority of the magisterium (the Pope and Bishops) end quote. Here lies a profound difference in your beliefs and Protestant faith. As a Protestant, I stand on a one -legged stool which is the Holy Bible, Gods absolutely truth alone. Additional unstable, man made legs are not worthy or even profitable to hold me up. The other 2 legs can and will only bring about the great fall of mankind. There are no additions, no man made mumbo-jumbo, no additional church government, no extra scaraments or attached works or beliefs that one must accept to be born again and become a child of God. You made the comment that I was searching for more. You are absolutely wrong. Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection is enough and ALL that is needed for me. ALL HAS BEEN COVERED. I study His word everyday. He reveals more to me daily. No matter how many days He has left for me, I will never be able to exhaust His word. No other doctrine, confessions of faith ordered by churches, scaraments or anything else is needed but the Bible to work out my salvation. Sola Scriptural/the Bible alone is my highest and only authourity. Just so you and I can be clear. Your faith is just that, it is yours and mine is mine. I have no interest in churh history out side of the Bible. No interest in church government, scaraments or anything else outside of His written word. I do have a interest in the salvation and Gods truths being known to others. I will not judge you or others that is not my job. God alone knows the heart. He has not given me or any other institute, church or organization to judge. Not my church nor yours. He has not given permission to any other to forgive sin outside of Himself and the Apostles when they walked upon the earth. They are no longer among us. He alone forgives. The Bible tells us so. I would be very happy to have a friendly relationship with you on the boards of dv. This will not happen as long as neither of us are willing to respect the right of others as individuals. Everyone has an opinion and should be able to voice themselves without ridicule and a absolute showing of hatred from another. You have been kind trying to explain your faith to me. I know you took a considerable amount of time to do so. Altho, I do not believe the things you brought forth, I do appreciate and respect and the time you dedicated towards bringing them to me. I wish you and your family well, LGD. As I do everyone that is seeking to be pleasing to God. I pray that all that do not have a relationship with God will seek earnestly. All that truely knock, the door will be opened........it says so in the Bible.
  17. Shabbs that's a pretty good thought but Ms Grisham is under no obligation to comply with this half witted request. Even if she wanted to, I think that PTrump would be the only one that could give her this authority.. my question is, if this was actually about a contribution to St Jude why didn't they just go to Trump to begin with. I'm sure he would have accommodated them in some kind of way altho His son Eric has contributed humongous amounts of dollars as well as time to St Judes. Lest we forget that if Stephanie were to comply without Trumps permission she would hear those famous words. "YOU'RE FIRED".. as many already have. I speak all of this jokingly because this whole scenario is a joke. Just noise from the left as usual. As always, good to hear your opinion. 🤪
  18. Sorry, for making this go on and on but I just caught what scripture said about the Apostles being able to forgive sin. Yes, but the Apostles are no longer with us. God alone forgives our sins and accepts us as a son.
  19. Yes, our Lord Jesus did set up His church which was thru His Apostles and followers. I do believe that we are now His church body. The church is not a building, temple, a place of worship or denomination but His true followers. We are of the church age which was established to carry on with the belief of what Jesus did and why while He walked this earth and how he once and for all atoned for our sins. I believe,in my understanding that we are the church and we are to carry forth the good news until His kingdom comes forth.
  20. Yes, to both lgd and nstoolman . Thank you for pointing out where I said we don't have to follow the law to a t. Not exactly the best way to relay what I was trying to say My thought and my reasoning was to express that Jesus fulfilled the law that we cannot and would never be able to fulfill on our own. Yes, Jesus fulfilled all law required by God. I see the confusion here and why. It was not my intention to express that after salvation that we are not to be obedient to Gods word. Yes, the Holy Spirit enables us but in our finite understanding and sinfulness that is still attached to our flesh we fall daily. I think all of us truly try our best to be pleasing to God in all ways, but at best we always fall short to His standards. Dependence on the HolySpirit always leads us but even then we choose sometimes to have our own way. We are convicted by Him, we ask for forgiveness and seek to be better pleasing. He forgives but true repentance is asking for forgiveness trying best not to commit that sin again. Sorrow for the act and turning away from it. Our walk with God is just that. Walking daily to please Him. Until we can turn it over and have complete dependence on Him, we will never meet the standard that God requires to be in His presence on this side of glory. Jesus did that for us. God sees us thru His Sons righteousness. The more we strive to be like Him, the more we see our own sinful nature. Yes we fall before Him begging His forgiveness knowing that we have grieved His Spirit. Thankyou for pointing out where I miswrote. I understand you bringing this to my attention. This isn't my 1st mistake to ever make and certainly won't be the last. Correction was neccessary. Thank you both again. Next LGD, I'm still somewhat confused about what you are speaking about sacraments. The Protestant faith believe that God commanded the Lords Supper and Baptism. But we also believe that Baptism is not what saves us. In other words, if a man/woman repents and confesses the Lord Jesus as Saviour and dies before he is baptized, he is still saved. God saved the thief on the cross because of repentance and true belief in his heart that Jesus was Lord. Baptism should always be done as a confession of faith but does not stand to condemn if it can't be performed. Is this what you are speaking of? I realize that the Catholic faith looks differently at this so all I can say is I believe God knows our hearts. He knows the sincerity of every soul. I can not say who is right and who is wrong in baptism, I can only account for myself and what I believe the Holy Spirit has expressed to me thru Gods Word. if this is not what you are trying to express to me then by all means let me know. Like you, I'm always willing to talk about the Lord.
  21. hmmm interesting. Are they unwilling to contribute to the CHILDREN's hospital unless there is a dare or a way to find fault with Grishams briefing in the effort to smear anybody or anything that is connected to Trump. Looks to me they have they have obligated themselves regardless if she does or doesn't. Of course they can do as they please, Hollywood will not condemn them, after all it's only sick dying children in desperate need of contributions. just a thought.....keyword. "if"
  22. LDG. I'm unclear what you are expressing here to me but feel sure you are trying to make a point. Not sure what this has to do with the difference in religion and Christianity. Please share so I can understand your point because I totally missed it.
  23. Hey, I just had a popup ad. It was "Can you pass the test of a second grader".......yehaw I passed. love me some popups
  24. lol still no bell to the left but I now have notifications over the 3 bars without having to open the 3 bars. I still have to go into the bar but to show what thread they are from. Now it shows notification waiting. Does that make sense. Anyway, I'm pretty happy. Looks like you nudged just right, now why dont cha nudge that rv for us. We'll worry about that bell later. Thank you Adam for your help....I'm happy.
  25. lol, you might be right. But if that were to happen, we will see the biggest downfall this country has ever been faced with. I give credit to most Americans to know and understand this. You have to understand that many stand firm with their family upbringing and vote for that reason alone. The rest are the ones that vote for what's best for the future of their loved ones not just to get free stuff for themselves today. Either way, we shall see.
