The cheap ones here would go to the market or the Ben Franklin dime store, and get a bag of that old time Brachs hard candy that used to be sold loose. Probably 50 cents a pound or something, dip the scoop in the bin and fill your bag. Then they would give you a single piece of it. "Here you go kid, one butterscotch disc" We always tossed that schidt, along with the smarties.

I listened to a debate and came away with the idea that he did not believe in the deity of Christ. What do you think about that? I am glad you brought this up. How is it that we believe in one God and believe Jesus was God? Who the heck was he praying to? Do you believe it is necessary to believe in the virgin birth? Can salvation be obtained if one discards the writings of Paul and concentrates on the teachings of the old testament and John and Jesus? Examine your beliefs and let me know your thoughts. I am not going to get into private communication with you.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Jesus: "Take heed that no man deceive you."

The failing of the church is selling conversions as a shield of God against worldly suffering, earthly rewards for faith.
Man had it wrong so Jesus came to set the correct example, he didn't come cause man was doing it right... and then man almost immediately started down the path of doing it wrong again.
Jesus came to show how unimportant worldly suffering, hardship, persecution, torture, physical death are, compared to faith and spiritual resurrection. What God can give us here is the will to endure and the strength of fearlessness, spiritual peace/relief regardless of pain/suffering/persecution.
Jesus' church is lead through the Holy Spirit, not a pulpit, not some man's words, not confined in a book.
God left man here on earth with free will, individual man and man as a whole, the chit that happens to us here isn't on God nor will he save you, it's on man and self inflicted. Iβm always glad when you participate in these discussions. Your insight and knowledge and contributions are refreshing. The issue of pain and suffering and injustice in the world is a big problemβ¦for many people, and understandably soβ¦when it comes to maintaining faith in God. Many people have stepped back from God because of their inability to reconcile the pain and suffering and injustice in the world with a good and loving God. There's a lot of tension between God and pain, God and injustice, God and sorrow, and God and devastation in the world...and how we resolve those issues with a good and loving God. Interestingly enough, it's primarily a big deal with the people in the Western world and people in first world countries... Americans, Canadians, and Europeans. In other parts of the world, in the midst of extraordinary poverty and anguish, you'll also find extraordinary faith...'not' extraordinary doubt. The 'logic' says if God is good, He would get rid of all pain, suffering, and injustice. If God could, He would get rid of all pain, suffering, and injustice. So either He lacks 'good', or He lacks 'could'...there is either a problem with His willingness or His ability...or...there is no God at all. That's what some people's logic tells them. Is it right to use *other* people's pain and suffering and injustice to draw *our own* conclusions about God...? Is it right to use other people's pain and suffering and injustice to build *our own* case against God...? To me, thatβs casting a pretty wide net. If we have not walked in their shoes, then we don't know. We'd have to talk with each one of them, individually, about their pain and their suffering and their injustice to know how it affects their conclusion about God. For many, it might draw them closer to God, rather than push them away. If we use our own pain and suffering and injustice to draw our own conclusions about God...that's wholly different.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Throw in the other flavored tootsie rolls. They really sucked.... Always felt kinda fuqked over with tootsie rolls in the bag at the end of Debils night.... π‘π‘π‘ πππ

Yup, and they should hang effigies of witches from the trees in their yards with Letβs Go Brandon signs around their necks, thereby offending both Wokesters and Demoncrats simultaneously.
Except for Satanists and other crackpots, Halloween is just an excuse to dress up and eat too much sugar.
Leave them kids alone! I stand to differ with you comment sir. I is like saying Christmas isn't sacred to Christians and Salah is not sacred to Muslims. Think about it. They culture behind it is very attractive a we humans can't say no to cheap and delicious sweets... so the formats for the celebrations ropes us all in. I don't think Christians should celebrate Halloween.

God uses Spirit filled people to shepherd His flock. It has been that way since the beginning. Many of those people are in the pulpit.

Damn you, What else can celebrate ever mean ? Wellβ¦regarding Halloweenβ¦on one hand, it can mean simply letting your kiddos dress up in costume and go trick or treating to get a buncha candy. Period. Nothinβ more than fun for the kids. On the other hand, it can mean cuttinβ the head off a chicken and sprinklinβ the blood into a circle and getting in the center of it and worshippinβ the devil while you drink blood out of a goatβs skull.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
