Shila

Jesus’s original mission was more limited. t is recorded in Matthew 15: 24 “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” Remember, God chose the Israelite's as his own and He was their God. If you were drawn to God, you didn't remain a Gentile and worship God, you were circumcised as a male and became Jewish.

Jesus expanded his mission after his resurrection. After he was rejected by the Jews and crucified. So the Jews should be credited for changing Jesus’s mind and not the Romans who crucified him. Mark 16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

Jesus’ initial focus on “the lost sheep of Israel” (Mt 15:24) did not exclude His larger mission to all peoples; rather, it honored God’s longstanding covenant with the Jewish people and fulfilled prophecy by first bringing salvation to Israel.

The universal scope was always implicit (see Isaiah 49:6), and Christ Himself hints at it throughout His ministry (e.g., Jn 10:16).

The rejection by many in Israel and Jesus’ subsequent command to “go into all the world” (Mk 16:15) does not imply He changed His mind under human influence. It demonstrates the divine plan unfolding in stages—first announced to Israel, then proclaimed to the nations, fulfilling God’s will that all might be saved.

Was North Korea trying to weaken South Korea by splitting from it?

North Korea tried to violently unite with the South, but US and allies prevented it.

But you are a trans. Why do you need muscle?

I dont do it just for muscles. My brain needs to be smarter and this helps. Plus, muscles are good and desirable. Well, at least a bit more desirable than big tummy

But together they are stronger than one.

Thats what Kim Jong Il said.

When you add one drop of water to another drop of water, they are no longer two drops, but one bigger drop of water.

When you unite two countries, they are no longer two, but one which is much more powerful.

So you are actually testing the strength of the wall.?

Just pushing 3 times less weight than when doing real push ups.

I used to be able to do real push ups, but that was years ago.

I have gained weight since then, so I am kinda hoping to gain more weight but also turn it into muscle and size. 

I dont want for all my weight to go in tummy

They why did North Korea choose to split up with South Korea.

They disagree with each other too much

Isn’t it harder to push a wall down than to push yourself off the ground like in pushups?

You still push yourself and your weight, just not against the floor but against the wall.

Korea actually thinks it can defend Russia?

There is a saying: Two are  stronger than one.

I guess. They are made for beginners and for those with wrist problems. I am both.

I don't know where you're getting your information. I can tell you what scripture says regarding salvation

But that is Russian territory why are the Koreans involved?

Alliance between Russia and North Korea.

If anyone attacks Russian territory, North Korea sends help to Russia, and if anyone attacks North Korean territory, Russia sends help to North Korea.

Think of it like a version of NATO.

Lenin established a totalitarian state.

Course on another hand,

When one is swimming in surplus, it can be easy to forget about other humans. Easy to forget empathy, forget to care.

Sometimes one only bothers to achieve ideals 'in hardship.

Plus, it’s their fault North Korea entered the war. They triggered the alliance by capturing Russian territory.

It was you who were extolling the virtues of Marxism and decrying capitalism.

I was telling the virtues of Marx, not Lenin.

Is it muscles or fat that you are trying to achieve?

If you are losing weight, then muscles cannot grow properly, and the size of arms, chest and back wont increase much.

God wasn't the one to end the relationship.

Yep, marriage is either a binding contract under State Law.

Or not worth the paper it's written on.

The NT sign of the covenant is baptism.  Same as Jesus also said this is the new covenant - when he ate the bread and drank the wine - referring to himself at the last supper.  the New Covenant which is what Christians - whether Jew or Gentile follow. Circumcision, the old sign, puts one under the law. Baptism puts one under grace.  

We say that God's rules of ethics and morals and justice belong to him, and not the same as humanity. God is never and can never be held to a human account.

I assume Humanistic Organizations usually have the goals of making specific human activities and standards of life more prevalent.

From a Catholic perspective, “spiritual death” refers to the loss of sanctifying grace and the original state of holiness—an interior rupture in one’s relationship with God—rather than a complete cessation of religious devotion or inability to worship. Adam and Eve, while they continued to believe in and teach their children about God, no longer enjoyed the fullness of communion with Him as they did in Eden. Their eventual physical death, along with the trials their descendants faced, flowed from this initial spiritual rupture. Thus, “dying on that day” should be understood in its deeper theological sense, where the immediate effect was the forfeiture of intimate friendship with God and the beginning of mortal existence apart from Eden’s privileges.

It’s a way to avoid US sanctions.

I do pushups against the wall. I'm as old as Trump and this is how I look.

If you are a Christian, are you responsible for what every other Christian does?

Nope , never stated any of those words the way you put it. 

Put what you said side by side to what I stated and do a comparison. Two different paragraphs. You either want to learn something or reject what somebody tells you because you already decided the answer for yourself.

This is what a real Democrat leader looks like. Not some Trump wannabe. He makes the real choices with big balls.

Its just like real push ups, but with less weight being pushed.

Simply, you push wall instead of pushing floor.

Hm, your meaning escapes me.

Do you mean that people can only realize ideals when they have money in the bank,

When their basic needs are met?

Or do you mean that just 'living and basic needs are not enough for the human?

So we are led to believe.  Bit its not as straightforward as they will have us believe. John was a resident of Bethany near the Jordan. The reference to "the desert" also called the "wilderness" means Galilee.

Hi Lemming.

Take human and stick ist on the end.

Should be self explanatory.

Everyone is a human first and a theist second.

It's innate.

Though some like to think otherwise.

I think that muscles will take a bit more effort.

AI said that 60 push ups against wall per day are good enough.

Salvation according to the scriptures takes God working in a person to be worked out. When somebody is serious or takes salvation seriously, it is God working out the soul salvation in an individual.

Good point.

Which for me raises another point, Shila.

What was the original invocation in the days of John the Baptist?

What invocation did John the Baptist use when baptised Christ?

And what was the invocation that John the Baptist was using before Jesus even appeared on the scene?

That also means that if I ever do something stupid like allow users like Shila or best Korea to dominate discussions

I guess I shouldnt be allowed to speak due to my brain disorders, but it’s kinda nice to be able to.

Thats good, but I read somewhere that 2 training sessions are ideal.

From a Catholic perspective, the “death” God warned of was both spiritual and eventual physical death. Though Adam and Eve remained physically alive that day, they immediately lost the original holiness and communion with God (spiritual death). This separation inevitably led to their mortal condition (physical death). God did not lie; rather, His warning encompassed the deeper reality that sin ruptures our relationship with Him and brings lasting consequences, culminating in the loss of access to the Tree of Life, which symbolized eternal union with God.

At Baptism, the guilt of original sin is indeed washed away and sanctifying grace is imparted, making us adopted children of God. However, concupiscence (the inclination to sin) remains, so we still struggle with temptation. This does not mean the unbaptized lack free will; all human beings retain the natural capacity to make moral decisions. Baptism restores us to a state of grace that empowers our will in a deeper, supernatural way but does not create free will where it did not exist before.

The point is God gave salvation to all those people who are of the "Israel of God". It is for persons who have circumcised hearts, not necessarily circumcised foreskins. 

We don't get the Holy Spirit to enter us. He's God. He's not on a string. John 3:5-9 tells us that the Spirit goes where the Spirit desires. Not where we desire. He's like the wind. It blows where ever it pleases. 

Why would you want a free country like Japan to be a part of North Korea?

Japan has huge debt and lowest birth rates in the world, so it will eventually collapse, which is a shame.

Here's an example. God says besides him there is no savior. But the scripture also teaches the son to be the savior.

Everyone is different and unequal

Contrary to popular YouTube belief, Communism has nothing to do with making all people equal.

Therefore one might suggest that the US president wields too much decision making authority.

The supreme Court, Congress and Senate can overrule a lot of their decisions but yes whatever party that is out of power always believes the president has too much

Thanks for thinking that my pole is great!

I made it simple for myself. I know some people train for an hour every day, but I think thats too much for a beginner like me. Plus, 10 minutes is easy, especially when divided on 5 minutes two times a day. This was made so I dont give up.

I can wish to be born in Japan while admitting the superiority of North Korea. Besides, maybe Japan will be part of North Korea in the future.

Catholic teaching holds that God gifted humanity with free will from the very beginning, as shown by Adam and Eve’s capacity to make a real choice—obey or disobey God’s command. While the tree represented an experiential knowledge of good and evil that God wished to protect them from, it did not negate their pre-existing moral freedom. By succumbing to the serpent’s deception, Adam and Eve misused the very free will God bestowed on them—proving that the faculty to choose, for good or ill, was already theirs by divine design.

The Jews kept the covenant with God and to this day perform circumcision. in return God promised to take these people as His chosen nation and bless them with health, prosperity, and protection from other nations if they will obey Him – and the following commands, ordinances, and religious observances are the details of what He requires them to obey.

They even crucified Jesus to help him fulfill the prophesies his death would bring.

Circumcision was just one part of the covenant. It expressly stipulated loyalty to God. To obey all his commandments. They didn't obey all of the commandments. 

Killing Jesus wasn't part of the covenant. Nor did they have a clue that killing Jesus would fulfill prophecies. In fact they would deny that was the case since they deny he was the Messiah. 

The Bible is made up of 66 books. So except for Luke and Job the rest of the Bible were written by Jewish authors. Yet the Jews were not awarded any compensation for their contribution. Even Trump cashed in on Bible sales.

I notice you didn't provide any evidence of a copyright.  Interestingly enough, most of the NT writers were Jews who converted to Christianity, And were Christians when they wrote the NT. So there were no Jewish non-Christians who wrote any of the NT.  And the Christians will all receive their rewards in heaven. Indeed even as the writers of the OT will too.   So in fact your statement that the Jews were not awarded any compensation is nonsensical.  Rupert Murdoch owns Zondervan, or at least he used too. Some have suspected he is a Jew.
