Nonetheless, this is a forum and we still have a semblance of free speech here so I will bow out again not understanding where I am in error.

Sorry John i have to disagree.

My claim is that although God was speaking to his people (the Jews) in the OT, it is clear that the actual people of God are children of Abraham in the spiritual not physical sense, and that Christ himself is the seed of Abraham, making all Christians children of God, whether they be Jew, Gentile, or anything else. Thusly, the expression "replacement" is incorrect, and shows a lack of understanding of what many of us believe.

Thusly, the promises of God to the Jews (a new heart will I give you, etc.) become the promises of God to the elect of God, irrespective of whether or not they are Jew or Gentile. All are one in Christ Jesus - not replacement but fulfilment.

If you disagree - fine.

The subject of seat belts brought a reminder. It would save many more lives if the speed limit were reduced to 15 mph. Thousands every year in the US alone. Otherwise wouldn’t it be better to remain indoors, where we are safe distanced from people driving 55? But for some reason the vast majority of drivers don’t drive in fear of losing their lives. Why is that, and why is no governing authority concerned over this unnecessary loss of life on the highway? You’d think living life is more important than just breathing air. Callous.

I wonder if John Yurich regards the taking of the Holy Communion in the RCC as necessary for salvation? If not, why is it a negative to be excommunicated from the RCC?

Frank wrote:
Well John, it has been a while since you posted frequently on the forum. Because of that I am going to ask you a question that will allow those who don’t know you to know where you stand.
What would be the spiritual negative if someone was excommunicated from the catholic church?

John Yurich USA wrote:
According to Catholic teaching the spiritual negative of being excommunicated from the Catholic Church is that one can't receive Holy Communion.

So Christians have already been praying for President Trump.
AND Will keep doing so because GOD has commanded us to.
May the Lord have mercy upon President Trump and his wife and family. We pray for a safe recovery. Amen.
Regardless of all politics.

It is the terrible fear of this disease that has saddened me...

I am also sure, from what you have said in the past, that you have been to several different countries. Did you not have to endure travel injections, to inoculate you against catching diseases which we know nothing of in this country? Like malaria etc. I very much doubt that you had a crippling fear of catching malaria, rather you took precautions, as advised by guvs either end of the journey. Is this not so? Why then do you refer to taking precautionary measures against C19 (common sense measures) as irrational fear? Or are you referring to the unregenerate, who all their lives are crippled by a fear of death?

No, John UK I am not full of fear, I think you are.

2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
(7)  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

So I am filled with power, love, and a sound mind. I have no fear, yet you say I have fear. Of what do you say I am afraid?

You are the one who is always grumbling about not being able to have fellowship because the guv has ruled it out. Yet I have not missed one week of fellowship, even though I take risks to do so. You are the one who is always grumbling about this, that, and the other. Yet I am still actively involved in the evangelisation of the world and putting my life on the line, that others might hear the gospel and be saved.

Or are you talking about a healthy fear, which compels you to keep your kitchen clean lest you attract unwanted bugs there, or whatever.

John UK and Watcher,
1. I know it’s not a hoax in the literal sense, but the political hyperbole has made it a mockery and a “hoax” relative to pseudo care for the “lives of people” on behalf of politicians seeking to maintain or gain power.
2. As for my comment, Watcher was being sarcastic and would rather attack the notion of a “hoax” than pray for health of President Trump. This is a Christian site, not another cesspool social media platform where snark and belittling comments flow.

I think you might find that they have gone down in the opinion of the people, so I'm sorry but your point then would be wrong.

2. I can't believe you said that. Have you ever considered that you might be to blame for so affecting Watcher's good Christian character that he starts posting like some other people on this so-called "Christian site" which so often is no different from a social media boxing ring?

...to quarantine the sick, not the healthy...

If the foolish people of the UK had obeyed all that the guv told them, the pandemic here would be over by now and we could have returned to normal. But no, the foolish people, without any fear whatsoever, that is, without any fear of the C19 or of catching it, foolish I say, because many of them are now hospitalised on account of their foolishness, and some will die, even young people, as C19 is no respecter of persons, these foolish people are the cause of a second wave of C19, NOT the guv, and I lay the guilt of manslaughter at their feet, for imagining that C19 is a figment in the mind of global power-mongers, who have their own agenda for creating a hoax and a fairy tale, and bringing restrictions to bear without genuine cause, but only for their own cause, which is not the safety of the population.

One more thought for much prayer. Do pray for the President, but also pray for the protection of VP Pence and his wife and family, as he deputises for President Trump over the next few days. Don’t forget that the 3 rd in line under the Constitution if anything happened to both President and Vice President is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, one Nancy Pelosi, need we say more. We must pray against that possibility!

In other words, if you do not believe that it is God's will to have Nancy Pelosi in the driving seat, then it only takes you alone to pray against that, and it will not happen. Do you see what I'm saying?

I'm sure there are a lot of believers who pray for something, but they really don't know whether or not it is God's will. So they pray, but do not believe in the power of prayer; they simply hope for an affirmative answer. And if they don't get it, there is the 'get-out' clause: "Yes, No, Not now".
