What is salvation based on? Is it based on works, faith, or both? One member gave an insightful answer here:

Good works are the fruit of our salvation, not the root of our salvation.

11 “Who is like thee, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like thee, majestic in holiness,
terrible in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

The writer of Exodus, just like most people of his or her time, believed there was more than one God. Just that the God of the Hebrews was best!

I think this is the main emotional texture of the decision. And many charismatic churches answer, Yes. Protestant churches in the mainstream answer, Yes.

The Catholic Church, however, answers that only men can be priests.

Ana Navarro said the following on The View:

“Look, America, you know, those of you who voted for Trump: This is what you wanted. This is what you voted for. You screwed around and you’re about to find out.”

With this statement, not only is she saying that you get what you voted for, but she's also using that as a reason to say why people should have voted for the other party.

I decided to post this in the Religion section because Quija boards are thought of as spirit boards.

The Ouija board is often used in séances or spiritualist gatherings to communicate with spirits or the deceased.

Personally, I've never used one. I've heard a lot of bad things about them like opening the door for spirits to enter the house and to even possess a person.

So, 15 years between the event and the first surviving writing.

Or, a little longer. Some scholars argue that 30 AD is a better date for Jesus’ crucifixion than is the more traditional date of 33 AD.

But even at date of 15 years, I mean if we go from 33 AD to 48, that’s still a problem.

This is a phrase that keeps coming up that is completely misunderstood by the one using it. Let's look at the phrase in it's Biblical context: 1 Corinthians 3:3-7 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, ....

The members of the church at Corinth were debating who had the best Christian experience. Some were saying they were better believers because Paul had led them to Jesus. Others argued they were better off because they grew more through the preaching of Apollos. Paul clarified their wrong thinking by showing praise isn't based on who leads a person to saving faith. conversion, or the first changing of souls; another is used for edification, or further building up of souls; but both conversion and edification are infinitely more from the new heart and new nature, which God giveth to souls, and from the influence of the Sun of righteousness by the Spirit of grace, working in and upon the soul, than from any minister, who is but God's instrument in those works.

I don’t believe there can be any other legitimate explanation of "Apollos waters".

31 “Then Jesus began to tell them [his disciples] that the Son of Man must suffer many terrible things and be rejected by the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but three days later he would rise from the dead.”

And later on, Jesus is described as dying on the cross around 3 pm on Friday. And he rises very close to 6 am dawn on Sunday.

That's 39 hours, which is just a little bit more than a day and a half.

And quite a bit different than 72 hours or three days.
