This movie Is not new, but you may have watched it over the last couple of days [or plan to]. It's rated R, though it has no sex or violence. It has the f-word, though. About 18 times in the span of one minute, I think.

Israel -- A Royal Land Grant or Modern Day Religous Hoax?
Raf replied to oldiesman's topic in Matters of Faith
Not sure why my opinion is of any particular interest, but I would suggest a plain reading of Revelation reveals Yahweh still has a great interest in Israel as a nation and people. I doubt anyone could say definitively that the covenant was ended, especially since it was an everlasting covenant. I could easily be wrong, my G.A.S. having lapsed some time ago. -
Israel -- A Royal Land Grant or Modern Day Religous Hoax?
Raf replied to oldiesman's topic in Matters of Faith
See, that's my problem. If it's history, it's not credible and the only reason to discuss it is politics. If we're talking about doctrine, there's really nothing debatable about it. Yeah, God said this land is your land. Doctrinally. But history can't even document the existence of Abraham, never mind God. And if we're going to allow divine real estate transactions to determine land rights, there are probably a handful of Native American believers in the Great Spirit who have a problem or two with our current state borders. Oh, but THEIR Great Spirit is not God. Got it. -
Israel -- A Royal Land Grant or Modern Day Religous Hoax?
Raf replied to oldiesman's topic in Matters of Faith
I can't. To me, even if you remove current politics from it, you get the following question: "Can a nation claim land on the legal grounds that an Imaginary Being granted the land to an Imaginary Ancestor, sealed by self-mutilation at a date and time witnessed by no one but recorded for posterity after the fact by people living better than a thousand years later? Pray tell, why should anyone who DOESN'T worship this god be bound by this bequest? -

This thread is inherently political. Our only reason to examine the question at hand is steeped in politics. -

Quick comment as I digest the latest posts (not exactly a priority): The article linked does not discuss anything resembling an idiom of permission. It says there are idioms. No duh. What Is a Hebrew Idiom? | Learn How They Reveal and Conceal Meaning (voiceofelijah.org) Discussing idioms is not the same thing as discussing an idiom of permission.

"WTF" is sounded out in the preceding clue.

Why am I still a Christian?
Raf replied to Rocky's topic in Atheism, nontheism, skepticism: Questioning Faith
The ex-Muslim atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali recently announced her conversion to Christianity. Her conversion story is steeped in politics, so it's impossible to discuss her story without discussing politics. Ground rules: The validity of her political views are off limits. The validity of her religious views are. Why I am now a Christian - UnHerd I have not read her essay, nor have I listened to the video in the o.p. I will not comment until I do one or the other, preferably both. In case you were wondering why I'm so quiet. :) -
This movie featured Dylan McDermott, John Mahoney and Rene Russo.
