Let’s all just be grateful every time we’re able to have another “today”. My mom died when she was 45, and I wish like everything that she’d had many more birthdays. When I turn 45 in just shy of a decade, I’ll be much more appreciative of my life than Elly is if I’m still here.
I think the best thing to do here would be for them both to go up to the teacher’s desk, and either ask to see her privately outside in the hall, or very quietly admit to her what the note is, what they’ve done, and ask her to please not read it out loud in class (as some teachers are wont to do as punishment). Then, if the girls were sincere and polite, the teacher also might be willing to ask Anthony to stay for a moment after class, and simply explain to him that the note was given to him by mistake, and then rip it up. And then Candace and Dawn immediately come clean to Liz.
I’m a little afraid to see what is actually going to happen, and the mess everyone may find themselves in.
We are absolutely capable of understanding it, that’s why the Lord gave us the Bible in the first place. As well as giving us the ability to reason and use logic. Anyone who asks for understanding with a sincere heart, the Lord will reveal Himself to them.
If Jesus is a man, even in part, then He’s something created by God. And if Jesus is just a part of the Creation rather than the Creator, then our religion is worthless, because a God who would send someone else to do His own “dirty work” is not a God worthy of servitude. The whole point of Jesus is that it was God Himself, sacrificing His own Form for us all.
When it says He was “fully man”, it means His bodily form was fully “mortal”. It doesn’t mean He was a created human being. Remember, God took off His immortality to die on the cross.
And faith is not just a blind belief in something we can’t see — faith is an action, the action of putting into practice what we believe, James 2:14-26.
In general reply to many of the other comments: Jesus is NOT a man. And no one had sex with Mary. The Trinity of God is Father, Spirit, Son. Father: The Image (Mind) of God, which is Truth; Spirit: The Likeness of God (His Desire, His Heart) which is Love; and Son: God’s Form (physical body), who is Jesus. Jesus is Truth and Love in flesh, the Messiah = Jesus the Christ. Remember, Christ is not a last name, it means Messiah, which in the Old Testament was to be God Himself in flesh. Jesus is not a man, nor is He the offspring of God; He is nothing created, He is the Creator. Father Truth filled with and displaying His Spirit which is Love, made visible in God’s One and Only Form, the Son, Jesus. Jesus is the immortal God taking off His immortality, clothing Himself with mortality, (being birthed through the virgin — yes, a woman who hadn’t had sex because He was not the product of sperm and egg), crucified, and risen immortal once again.
John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made."
John 1:14: “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.”
“In soccer, we have rules everyone accepts and winners win, losers lose.” What do you think sports riots are if not people getting upset over their team not winning and refusing to accept it? At least 125 people DIED only a month ago in Indonesia at a soccer game riot. So it’s not just “crazy Americans” to blame for all the problems in the world, and the world of sports is no better than the world of politics. (I’m not an American, btw, just fyi.)
Thank you for leaving this comment!! I couldn’t figure out what was wrong yesterday and today when suddenly no images would display on the site. I just paused my AdBlock and everything works again!
Hmm, I thought the proof his wife was innocent would be that she tells the inspector that the act consists of 5 rabbits — but we can see from the first panel that all 5 are already out. So why’d he stick his hand back in?
I only just took my Christmas tree down yesterday!!!
