You can no more prove my info is wrong any more than you can prove your info is correct. I do not share your confidence in what you've read and embraced. That's the difference. I don't trust any government to tell me the truth, therefore I act according to my own conscience and according to the law of the land. The point of this article is, remember, churchgoers disobeying the government God put in place. Call it what you want. It's still disobedience, and if you disobey God's ordained government you might as well be disobeying God.

"Look at Wuhan. They went overboard and welded people into their homes. This seemed horrible when we first watched it, but look at the numbers. They are under 100K and the States are well on their way to 9 million. One country slammed the doors shut and the other laughs in derision."

Prove to me that they are lying. That's my point. Most of you here are relying on Facebook posts and other questionable information for your confidence. I am not relying on anything but common sense and I don't have enough confidence to act like it doesn't exist.

There's a reason why a population of 300 million has far more cases than a population of over 1 billion.

When was Peter saved?

Acts 3 during the salvation sermon he gave right?

So why would this be said here in Acts 15?

Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ *we shall be saved*, even as they.

The shall be save speaks of Future event spoken of correct?

Why, John, everyone knows the Vulgate Bible is the only true Bible❗

Erasmus corrected the corrupted Latin Vulgate by his own fresh rendering of the text from the more accurate and reliable Greek which had come from the manuscripts that escaped from Constantinople in 1453 of which he had six to work from.

All were the work of scribes in Constantinople from copies of what had been housed there from the time of Eusebius of Caesarea in the 4th century.

Eusebius was the benefactor of receiving from Origen his private library which Origin had given to the Christian community in Constantinople.

Origin was the greatest textual critic of the early Church, directing the production of the massive Hexapla ("Sixfold"), an Old Testament in six columns: Hebrew, Hebrew in Greek characters, the Septuagint, and the Greek versions of Theodotion, Aquila of Sinope, and Symmachus. This was an immense and complex word-for-word comparison of the Greek Septuagint with the original Hebrew Scriptures and with those other Greek translations.

The difference between a program like Facebook and a knife is thus:

My point is it matters not the tool in question but only the intentions of the user.

I think same can be said for a gun or a hammer or a knife.

And because that opinion, which I happen to agree with, is different.... then that makes one a goat per "Christian"?

But yet "per watcher", more research is necessary for Bro Lurker?

It IS a social justice issue, James. Can you in all honesty say that speaking out against the agenda of the LGBTQ group is proclaiming the Gospel? If you think that this woman should be included in Foxe's Book of Martyrs, then you don't know what the Gospel truly is.

I hear you loud and clear. It's my opinion (not absolute truth!) that more progress will be made if we change society through our example and through proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ than through running for office and voting for charlatans like Trump or in my case Trudeau because they are the lesser of two evils.

Isn’t “Hillary Clinton says” sufficient information to dismiss anything that follows?

Good try, James.
I thought that seeing as the Clintons are both hypocrites, making any sort of intelligent comment about the reasons for young people staying away from church, ought to be met with a John McEnroe, "You cannot be serious!"
