I can't think of anything keeping you from asking.

Meanwhile, Sunbeam, along with the Chief and several of the Natives, are there. But my friend, who was going to hunt from his wheelchair later this year, has decided not to go.

Is it found across denominations?

Re: The Israeli state?

"Shadowy form"? Care to elaborate? Should I elaborate in comparison to the belief that it's clear and not shadowy, or in contrast to the position that it's not there at all? I'm assuming by "True Israel" you are making it synonymous with the Church by your stating it includes Je...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?

I am confused though. Even though I agree with you, why did you bring this up in this thread alone, and not in the numerous other threads about the other presidential candidate? I sincerely would like to know. Perhaps it's worth noting that the scripture instructs us to pray for those who are in au...
