    The Sun Sentinel, based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., won the public-service medal for its coverage of the February 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland and its follow-up reporting about local officials’ actions before and after the killing of 17 students and staff members at the school. The public-service award is considered the most prestigious in the 14 journalism categories. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/the-washington-post-wins-3-pulitzer-prizes-sun-sentinel-wins-public-service-medal-for-parkland-shooting-coverage/2019/04/15/1478f18e-5fa3-11e9-9ff2-abc984dc9eec_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.798ab522192d

    I should clarify something. I said this STARTED as bad news. I cannot overstate that. This started as very, very bad news. Any joy in what "great news" happens today is tempered by the bad news that kicked it off. That said, we can raise a glass (hopefully) while remembering how much more wonderful it would be if we didn't have to. If you haven't figured it out by now: 3 p.m. If you have, shhh. Don't spoil it.
  9. so that was a swing and a miss, then. Hm. Good pitcher.

  11. Jesus could look the 12 right in the eye and say Make disciples of all nations and STILL we have to twist ourselves into knots over whether the 12 were ever commissioned to preach the gospel to all the nations. Wow. And people wonder why I throw my hands up trying to reason with them.

    Trying to copy and paste a code onto here. Not really doing so great. TWO DAYS!!!
  15. Based on Matthew 28:19, there is no reason for them to have accepted this framework if they had ears. He said to them to go and make disciples of all the nations. They would have had to go through some quite sophisticated gymnastics to go from a clear instruction like that to "ok, first Israel, then Christ comes back, THEN the rest of the world." You can get Israel first out of Luke, but not Matthew. And in neither case does Christ's return PRECEDE preaching to the gentiles.

  17. Spiritual insight is literally the opposite of evidence. Belittling actual evidence with unnecessary qualifiers like "material" or "senses" betrays a lack of confidence in the non-evidence being asserted as equally valuable. Evidence is evidence. If God is telling you something, prove it. Give me the number (which I have already disclosed to another poster so I can't pretend you were wrong if you are right). Nobody in the initial posts or videos on this thread claimed the resurrection happened because God said so. All point to evidence, failing to recognize the embarrassing flaws in Luke and Acts. Defend Luke! Defend the gospel writers! But "spiritual insight" is a chicken-sh*t excuse for recognizing the evidence opposes your position. God told me you're full of sh*t. Now, based on the evidence, who's right?
  18. Oh please. I'm thinking of a number between one and infinity. If you are connected to an omniscient God, tell me the number. Every single religion has a variation of "believe and you will see." You haven't addressed facts. You haven't refuted or contested the findings of educated professionals. All you have done is placed non evidence on the same plane as educated analyses of factual material. Seeing that your non evidence is inadequate, you declare it spiritual and claim that it's an Insight from the Almighty. Muhammad could do that. Joseph Smith could do that. Victor Paul wierwille could do that. Any idiot could do that. But there's no evidence to support it.
  19. I repeat that which is not refuted but merely repeated: One you accept tht which is unprovable as true, nothing is unprovable.

    I actually like Rocky's, but just to be clear:
  21. Once you accept the unprovable as proof, nothing is unprovable.
