A shlt ton of "new cases" in SLO lately...Negative 1 death 
again. 10% of the "covid deaths" have been retracted here because after looking into them it turned out they died with, not of. That's without having looked into all of them.
False positives, "covid deaths" that aren't really...
Keep your mask on though. You're saving lives unless you have an hair appointment.

unless you have an hair appointment." Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. "

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. "

Sadly they almost never "do as they say" The followers are often good hearted, but the leadership is obviously lacking

You and going outside better watch what you say to me

Exactly. It's really simple: if you're a follower of Christ, but don't live by all the specific rules that he set out, then STFU. You have zero credibility. I know hundreds of Christians, people who love Jesus, have a blessed day, etc etc... and not one - not. one. - actually follows the teachings of Christ.
Pretty much true. I had a boss who was a Christian, who had no problem shorting my paychecks.
But it is a goal
I asked my last pastor when did the burnt offering at the alter to God become a cash payment to your building fund. I mean I guess I could burn the cash...
I also asked when did street preaching to anybody who would listen, and keeping your day job as a fisherman turn into a $200,000 a year gig?
can he blink as well as Joel?
cause blinking is a big part of superstition.
bet he's a good blinker.
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJVS
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Here is a little 3rd grade level theology for you-
The verse above implies that it is impossible to live up to God's moral standard. God designed it that way so man can not boast. Even after being saved. Orthodox Christianity believes Jesus was sinless and walked 33 years without sin. Expecting that of any normal man is not Christianity.
So a christian being saved is predetermined by god?
or is the gift from based on works?
i thought Christians believed you’re supposed treat others as Jesus would, or at least strive for that, recognizing where you fucked up, asking god for forgiveness, and then continuing to try to treat others as Jesus would
heh, more like a 3rd grade level shuffle-and-dodge the issue: as I recall from many years in Christian school systems, it was a little more basic: Jesus taught things like feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, welcome the stranger, love your neighbor as yourself etc etc etc. we're talking about living like Christ, not living like God. and very few Christians embody any of these acts of selflessness - particularly you.
Your general knowledge of Christianity seems lacking.
Perfection is not expected in Christianity, nor is it considered attainable.
The whole premise of Christianity is that you are born a sinner and stay a sinner. Christian or not.
Also, how do you know and keep track of the actions of the "hundreds" of Christians you know? That's weird man.
see above. as i told jonahbrobrah, talking about acting like Jesus, not God. and pretty much every singe Christian i ever knew was up to his eyeballs in the pursuit of material possessions, over just about everything else.... just like the rest of us poor sinners. so there's that.
Matthew 7:16
"You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?
Jonahrah, you are one thorny dude.
Galatians 5 Verse 13, “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.” We have been set free from the curse and burden of keeping the Law, and we have been set free to live for the glory of God!
And my favorite for the tRump Christian, who locks up kids in cages, refuses charity to the poor.
James 2:14 (B)What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 (C)If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and (D)one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
