Pope Death Watch... WITH A PRIZE!!! Quart of Maple Syrup to the winner!

. If it doesn’t matter whether we say “in Jesus Name” or in the titles then why are we even having this discussion. As I mentioned a few pages ago, I am one person but I do multiple jobs- father, son, uncle, friend, truck driver etc. If I write a check I don’t write it in those titles of jobs I do, I just write my name on the line.
It matters because Jesus is very clearly giving us the formula for the trinity; three distinct persons that are yet the same God. That’s why the singular word name is used. That is how the church has always understood it. And there is nothing in the text that even suggests that Jesus is making this a vailed command to baptize in his name. If he wanted them to baptize in his name he would have said baptize in my name.

Also as I said before, God was given a name in the OT, it YHWH and Jesus name literally means YHWH saves. Jesus is not the revealed name of God

Further as I said a few pages ago, using analogies about yourself having different positions does not work with God and the divine nature. Finally you just like that other oneness guy fail to address Daniel 7:9-14. I’ll post it again so you can’t ignore it, but it clearly shows a plurality in God.

Daniel 7:9-14. Here we have two distinct and different figures, the Ancient of Days and the Son of man. The ancient of days is described with all the Old Testament descriptions of God and no one but God would be seated on a heavenly throne. The seen is a heavenly throne room. There the Ancient of days is seated and the Son of Man, a distant figure and person in this seen, is brought before the Ancient of Day. Then we see the Son of Man was given: “And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.”

‭‭Daniel‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬. No one except God has that. Yet we see the Ancient of Days, who is very clearly God and many would argue the Father, giving his power and authority to the Son of Man. These are two distinct persons and both have the power and authority of God. This is also why Jesus refers to him self more than anything else as the Son of Man.



Now I want you to address, not just try to post some other verse to refute it, but actually address what is going on in this verse. I have several others that illustrate the same thing (as others have noted), but you have not actually addressed any of them. Who is the Son of Man? Who is the Ancient of Days? If they are the same person, why would the author very clearly differentiate the two as individual people in the text? Since the text clearly illustrates them as two separate people, why are they both given the honors, attributes, names, deeds and seat of God? You cannot just post another verse of this, you must address the matter in this verse

Mornin, Fellas,
The data entry is going well to get everyone plugged into my bookkeeping software and as I've read every email, it's funny that all three people still using AOL have emailed me.

As one can imagine, I've sifted through a lot of information in your emails, but I don't have all the info I need to discern who has what generation of action. So, DON'T do anything right now, but what can be expected next is an email from me (mass email style), where I'll simply ask, "What generation action do you have?" If you know the answer to this, simply reply with "Gen X" in the subject line. If you have a single shot, simply put "V22S". In the body of the email, please provide your full name, address and phone number. Please do not write anything else, anywhere else.

For those of you that do not know what generation you have, please see the pictures below. The easiest way to tell is by the bolt release, and for the Gen 1 and Gen 1.2, the cocking piece and bolt shroud are different.

Once I have the info, I'll organize a few details and keep moving forward. Also, when appropriate, I'll be accepting payments using the CASH App, which keeps me off the phone and provides some small level of "automation" for the process.

Wasn’t there two versions of the gen3 with slightly different bolt stops/releases? I had an early one I kept breaking them and they machined my early one to take the later wider one…

FL is getting dangerous

we got a lot of critters here that can F up your day. we got rattlers,moccasins,corals,pythons,anacondas,monitors,cudas,sting rays,lion fish,sturgeons,a big bunch of sharks and a whole bunch of gators. encourages caution but not panicky fear. this kind of death is a tragedy. doesn't seem like it was anything except an accidental happening. maybe could have been avoided? who can know? but for myself i just think that the presence of dangerous potential encounters makes one appreciate the few wild areas that are still left. keeps life real
as said elsewhere on here,you have a much better chance of being killed or maimed in any city in the country by the criminals that are allowed to run rampant and unchecked.

So you are saying that Florida is our own little Australia, where everything is trying to kill you?

Thats convenient! Now i can go join my band of swashbucking pirates who told me they are believers, and we can pillage and plunder and we dont have to worry. We believe so we are saved!
Nope not what I said. God clearly shows both things, being baptized in Jesus name and being Baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit. (One was Jesus words, and the other wasn’t so there is that) He does not care which ways you do it because it’s not some magic incantation that doesn’t work if you don’t do it right. He cares about your faith

This^. baptizing them in the NAME (singular). The disciples and ALL of the Jews, even the religious elite, knew that God was only one as he had told them in the Pentateuch. Also as I mentioned a few pages ago about Deuteronomy 6:4
Dude go back and catch up from the last time you were here. This has been covered. Jesus is not making some vailed allusion to baptizing in his name.

“If you think baptism saves then it is a work. Works don’t save.”

Ok, so works don’t save you. So the building is on fire. You see the flames and can smell the smoke and hear the screams as people scramble out the exits. You BELIEVE the building is on fire you WILL DO something. So what did James mean when he said “show me your faith without your works, and I’ll show you my faith by my works.” How about, save yourself from this untoward generation? How about, let every man work out his own salvation with fear and trembling. Baptism isn’t works, because it isn’t something we do to ourselves. It’s something that is done by someone to us. If it doesn’t matter whether we say “in Jesus Name” or in the titles then why are we even having this discussion. As I mentioned a few pages ago, I am one person but I do multiple jobs- father, son, uncle, friend, truck driver etc. If I write a check I don’t write it in those titles of jobs I do, I just write my name on the line. Again, as cgbills said “it doesn’t matter whether you say a name or father son Holy Spirit” so then why does any of this discussion matter?
You are completely misquoting and mischaracterizing what I said. Additionally you completely overlooked what I said above I’ll say it again.

Works are the fruit of faith, not the root of faith. True faith produces fruit, but they do not save us. As James talked about a faith without works is dead. He didn’t say you are saved by your works, rather he is illustrating that true faith produces fruit

Also saying baptism isn’t a work because someone does it to you is flawed

Ephesians 2:8-9: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."

So if someone baptizing you saves you, doesn’t that allow them to boast? Paul says so no one can boast. He also says it is a gift of God. Someone baptizing you and saving you is not a gift from God, it is a gift from that person.

What did you do in the reloading room today?

I tried some 125 grain Hornady fmj's in my 300aac today. The ladder loads revealed some interesting results. I got pressure signs starting at the 2nd lowest listed data with both Lil Gun and H110. Accuracy was awful with all the loads tested (best was 2.5moa). If I can locate some I may try CFEBLK but I was very disappointed.
Cfeblk is specific to subsonic loads.

Are you trying to make 125g Hornadys subsonic? I don't think they will stabilize.

Check them with card stock paper to make sure before running a can just to be safe.

FL is getting dangerous

this is also breeding season. they are a bit more irritable. they are really irritable when they are guarding a nest with eggs or new ones.
forgot to say we also have caimans,an active breeding pop in the glades at least. back in the day people would buy baby gators for pets. at about 3ft they weren't cute anymore. they'd get turned loose in the wild, but,they weren't gators. selling that was illegal. so caimans got imported live and sold at road side tourist traps before the interstates got built.
have heard stories,likely urban legends,about baby gator bought for pets getting flushed into NYC sewer system. and they grew huge eating all the rats down there.

Gotcha, so when Jesus said “he that… is baptized shall be saved”
And peter said “be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ”
Were they were just making suggestions?

And i agree, thats pretty clear that works don't save, but if i don't do some action, ill call it obedience, then my faith is actually dead?

Didnt noah save he and his family by building an ark? Was it works or faith or obedience?
Well on thin about what Peter says in Acts when he says be baptized for the forgiveness of sins. The word “for” (eis in Greek) can be transactional, like I’ll give you $20 for that box of ammo. But it can also be used in a non transactional way. For example, have you ever done anything “for” your birthday? Doing that thing does not grant you or give you your birthday, you do it to remember your birthday.

Now to the Mark quote again, you must read that whole passage.

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭16 ESV

Jesus doesn’t say you are condemned if you don’t get baptized, he says if you have unbelief you are condemned.Baptism is import yes, but it does not save or condemn us

To Noah:
“By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭7

Works are the fruit of faith, not the root of faith. True faith produces fruit, but they do not save us. As James talked about a faith without works is dead. He didn’t say you are saved by your works, rather he is illustrating that true faith produces fruit

Glock .22 G44...?

I bought a G44 within the first 3-4 months they were released. Mine was super finicky on ammo and how i stacked the ammo in the mags. I tried most available ammo that you could buy at wal mart, cabelas, academy, places like that. It was just finicky. Bought a Taurus tx22 comp and it has been a machine. I mounted a 507comp to it and its been a pretty sweet rig. In my particular experience, leaps and bounds more reliable than the g44.
