Update XXI: "Scientific Facts Are Not Hard And Fast Rules."

Bushie have you ever shopped at the Asian supermarket?

[King]

Lmao.

[Adam Griffin]

Bushie, does the "diet" stop once you start celebrating christmas?

No, because not dieting or at least attempting to diet for 7 straight months would be near suicide...

Bushie have you ever shopped at the Asian supermarket?

Ha.

Actually Asian supermarkets tend to have a lot of tasty and healthy stuff available. Alas...

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

In other news, I think I found someone who is more energetic about Christmas than I am.  The City of Tulsa.  We are still 10 months from Christmas 2015, but the City is already planning the 2015 Christmas Parade going so far as to setting a date - December 12.  I'm early, but I'm still at least 3-4 months from starting Christmas, but these guys take the cake...

Uh no, for a large city that kind of municipal event planning so far ahead is necessary.

I guess it is.  Still, though, even the thought of Christmas in late February seems awfully early.  As an individual with no big event to plan for, I start Christmas between Mother's Day and Memorial Day.  Usually around graduation season in Oklahoma.

They are not 'thinking of Christmas' in the same sense that you do. They are thinking of schedules, of timetables, of logistics, of balance sheets, of a multitude of other things of that sort that many high school students understand better than you do.

Yes, it would be great for him! Much better than the wal-mart.

I do love how Bushie is basically completely over Christmas by early December.

Good Wednesday Morning!  I can't believe the last week of February 2015 is half over at Noon today!  I'm looking forward to a great day job searching and then a good Bible Study at church tonight.

Again, why do you Bible Study when you have your ticket to Heaven and don't have any more to learn?

First, you are speaking things I have NEVER said.  Just because I'm guaranteed to go to heaven doesn't give me a license to sin.  Will I still sin?  Sure, but I have freedom from sin.  In fact, I have said countless times on here only to be ignored and have my words twisted every single time that while works does not save a person, works are a result of someone's salvation.  I have so much to learn about God's Word.  I can never know it all until I get home to heaven, but I have to keep learning all I can.  I can't lose my salvation, but I still need to learn all I can so I can keep from sin.  Sins no longer affects my salvation, but it affects my witness to other people in doing what I am called to do in the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20.  I am called to teach others about Jesus and share with them what He has done for me.  If I'm constantly living in sin and not repenting (which is not the case), then my witness and credibility get damaged and it's harder to lead others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and belief in Him.

As much as I struggle...and downright disagree...with some of the things the Roman Catholic Church teaches, this thread has done a hell of a lot to show me what a sensible theology it really is.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Just because I'm guaranteed to go to heaven doesn't give me a license to sin.  Will I still sin?  Sure, but I have freedom from sin.

That's a direct contradiction, Jeff.

[Lief 🗽]

What the hell does "freedom from sin" mean?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Just because I'm guaranteed to go to heaven doesn't give me a license to sin.  Will I still sin?  Sure, but I have freedom from sin.

That's a direct contradiction, Jeff.

Read 1 John 1:9-2:1

I'm not unfamiliar with the Bible, 'Reverend', and I don't think that passage means what you think it does.

[King]

This is like that Lethal Weapon sequel where the villain had diplomatic immunity. Only if the villain felt really bad about his crimes every time and also decided to enroll at the junior college and take American law and civics courses for some reason.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

some African children, who are probably no longer with us (RIP).

Unlike with JJ aka Blondie, this particular RIP is not really Bushie's fault though. We can't expect Bushie to transform Africa into a livable place for destitute orphans.

Dude, who cares if they're hungry,  they just need to die Christians and not Muslims. 

[King]

Read 1 John 1:9-2:1

Why on Earth would I read the final sentence of one chapter of a book and the first sentence of the next chapter as one complete statement? That's completely nuts.

I guess the fact it's 200,000 times bigger of a project, including public safety, public health, etc... issues, they usually start the day after the last one ends.  

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

So how many cheat days do you have left this week now?

1

Ugh, pathetic. You've now had more cheat days this week, than I have all month. Apparently, you have no self control.

This.  I'm more than halfway to my goal of 50 pounds.....there are no cheat days!!!!!!!!!!!

hey Bushie: how do you reconcile Romans 2:6-11 into your soteriology?

[King]

If I'm constantly living in sin and not repenting (which is not the case), then my witness and credibility get damaged and it's harder to lead others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and belief in Him.

And yet your idea of establishing witness and credibility is being unemployed, morbidly obese, and lashing out at anyone who questions your faith. You're on a website with hundreds of unsaved people and have done nothing to repent your sins over the years so that you may give us a credible saving knowledge of Christ. In fact, you may have driven more people on here away from Jesus in your time here than closer to Jesus. If God is going to score your evangelism in Heaven, you're likely in the negative.

Bushie, you never answered if you actually believe that my relationship with Jesus (which is non-existant) is the most important thing in my life.

On the topic of unanswered questions, I find it very troubling that he refuses to tell us whether or not he's ever shopped at the Asian market.
