I'm 80. What's ogle???

I don't know who is left. I'll take Kriedler if available.

But without Reyes, H. Castro, W. Castro and Candelario, how is that not going to happen?

I have to admit, with a drunk Bobby Laine at quarterback, what could possibly go wrong?

I don't have that much karma!

Cheer up folks. I've been doing this for over 70 years. I still remember the days when Van Patrick was telling us about the terrific homerun just hit by some rookie named Al Kaline or how some guy named Frank Lary just whipped the yankees again. It will get better.

Sounds fun. Do you have pictures?

What about Mize?

Don't know where to start with all this vitriol present. First do not confuse the relationship between Judaism and Christianity. While we worship the same God, almost, our paths differ greatly. The theology is too extensive to try to compare at this site. I recommend a college coarse at a Christian or Judaism college. The following link will give some insite as to why the Jews believe as they do. It does not apply to Christians in most cases. https://forward.com/life/403206/how-orthodox-jews-observe-the-commandment-to-not-wear-wool-and-linen/ Best of luck in your search for the truth.

I apologize guys, I have to go do some work. I'll try to get back tomorrow, probably late in the day.

I can't promise a reply, try P.R.A.Y.E.R. No area code.

Unfortunely, it's still believed by some "christians as well as others". Notice the little "c".

Absolutely correct! You are allowed to make your own decisions, right or wrong. Unfortunately, the opposite is not true. The lgbt community is constantly sueing Christian organizations and believers to accept their beliefs or suffer many hardships. Doesn't seem all have the right to their own beliefs without discrimination.

Having lived for nearly 80 years, I have come to believe we all are born with a curse of one type or another (nothing in the Bible to substantiate this belief). It's what we do about this curse that will determine our worthiness in God's eyes. Most choose to follow the path of least resistance.

Your fight is with God, not with me.

I would never force "my religion" on you or anyone else, even if I could. You are asking questions of a Christian and I am trying to answer you as best as I can. The color of your skin as far as I know, is not a sin. Some have taken a portion of the Bible and tried to use that as a means to subugate black people. Discrimination exists all over the world, by all people, regardless of color of their skin. According to God, homosexuality is a sin. If you are going to excuse homosexuality because its a part of their nature, then we need to excuse rapists, murderes, cleptomaniacs etc, because its in their nature. All are sins according to God's word.

As mentioned in the other forum, my nextdoor neighbors are homosexual. I still care for them very much. They are very good neighbors but God says they are sinners and have no place with him. If they repent of their sins, they will be forgiven. That is a promise as stated in the Bible.

You will have to give me your definition of a cult please. People assign their definition to many organizations, both religious and secular.

"gave himself up as a sacrifice in order to establish a New Covenant." Not to establish a new covenant, but to provide a way to God because of our sins. Because of our sins, we cannot approach God. Jesus died on the cross to atone for our sins, he placed all our sins, past present and future on himself so that if we accept his sacrifice, it will clear a path to God. If we refuse to accept His gift we are doomed to spend eternity in Hell. The new covenant is just his promise to do what he said his sacrifice would accomplish.

Pretty much, this is true as stated previously. There are "laws" that still apply to everyone, such as the 10 commandments but remember the greatest commandment is to "love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself". Matthew 22: 35-40

Please remember that the laws were given only to the Israelites. This was, for the most part, for their safety. The rest of the laws and punishments were to let the people know that God is the Creator and he views certain behavior as evil. This is where most people fail to connect. Most people think God has no right to dictate behavior on his creation. That's because most don't believe there is a God or that he has anymore say in the matter. The Bible says 100% opposite. So, it really boils down to... do you believe there is a God or not.

Now if he can just catch foul popups.

Motown, your impression is flawed. They need prayer and discipline from their father. Big problem in America today, too many kids without a loving father. pfife, there are some sins that are beyond forgiveness (the unforgivable sin). This does not apply to homosexuality. I recommend the following link. I think it explains the situation very well. https://www.gotquestions.org/homosexuality-death-penalty.html Happy to answer all questions. I am far from an expert. If I don't know the answer, I'll direct you to a person that can correctly explain the Christian belief.

I don't know if you are a parent. Picture yourself with a child. If that child is "good", I would assume you would love that child. If that child became unruly, would you still love that child? I would, but I would insist that child be disciplined, to correct an unruly behavior. I believe God works in a similar manner and the Bible confirms that.
