NDE’s are a verified occurrence for which traditional medicine has little explanation. Beyond that, yes the afterlife is a faith issue; given what the stakes are, I’ll gladly accept the free gift Christ promised for preservation of my soul. Jesus Himself is confirmed to have lived—so either He is who He claimed to be, or He was the biggest fraud/snake oil salesman this side of a Kirby vacuum cleaner—there’s no inbetween about that! Those who say He was a good man but not the Savior are missing that point—accept all or none at all. It’s everyone’s free will to choose for themselves. It should also be noted that those who knew Jesus best during His earthly ministry, the disciples outside of Judas, all to a man died as martyrs for they would not stop proclaiming that Jesus was who He said He was...they paid for what they said was the truth with their lives. Don’t know about you, but I would never willingly die for anyone who I actually knew to be a charlatan, FWIW.

Perhaps we could finally get the Super Bowl played on Saturday?? That’s been a long overdue change imho. Own it!

It’s clear that Sean and Brandon, whilst simpatico on their roster choices, do not see eye to eye on the necessity of UV ray prophylaxis... I mean, basically with the right headgear and mirrored blue shades, any of us could sneak past security as “McD” and start clapping us some camp reps! No facial ID possible here

Not for nothing, but I’d rather my guy comes through in the clutch than a Stafford type putting up gaudy numbers that mean nothing by the time the final whistle blows because he couldn’t make it happen late...of course, putting both together even better, and we will see more of that this year imho.

Hmmm. Also a faith-based statement .

If he was underdressed for the season then I stand corrected!

I know it’s Buffalo and all, but sweat pants in August?? ?

If this isn’t it, then it still should be!

EJ also an expert on the elite art of losing an NFL game on not one, but 3 continents! We’re just ensuring that the door doesn’t hit him on the way out!

How do their college resumes even come close to being a 1 for 1 comparison?

Don’t hate the player or the game! They absolutely should be ranked at the top!

Best leave yourself some wiggle room on these sorts of takes.

All day, this OP’s threads be like...

Not for nothing, it was Jesus who took issue with the “religious” know it all hypocrites during His earthly ministry, likening those Pharisee religious leaders who insisted on loud public spectacles with their liturgical prayers and emphasis on appearances, to bleached bones or empty vessels—so this is not exactly a new problem. Or those seeking to turn the temple into a financial center that he had to remove. Those were all the same folks who fought Jesus’ message of grace & redemption from our fallen condition the most, FWIW. Point being—religious label is worth nada by just itself.

But it’s good we can engage on this and hear each other out. I hope that in some measure it helps to dig deeper and see where each of us is coming from as a means to create bridges, and not burn them.

Whoever came up with that "Simon Says" kids game might have something to say about that.

Or by the posters on this board! This place is usually 1st stop shop for any Bills content I need to get, including deep analysis dives.

To be fair, he was first put on the spot by a reporter. And you could arguably say the same thing about any athlete who voices any thoughts/opinions as to issues outside of their professions--and I'm not saying that's a bad thing mind you, just that when he prefaced what he said with, "I think..." it immediately becomes clear that's an opinion coming. In his case yes, faith-based according to what he said. A free society must be able to engage itself with opinions of all kinds. I respect your right to have one, as much as I know that you do for anyone else posting here.

Gunner, but at the very heart of the belief that undergirds the point behind Mark 12:28-31, is that you are directed to love your neighbor as yourself (the golden rule)--not loving God at the expense of loving others, but rather, because of loving God, you also love others (in fact are directed to love others equally to yourself). This is why Jesus taught what He did concerning "The Good Samaritan," a story which in and of itself makes no earthly sense because the Samaritan personally himself got nothing out of helping his tribal enemy in need. But seen in the broader context of the scripture I referenced, it makes perfect sense. My point is, these are not mutually exclusive concepts such as your comment indicated you may think Fromm presented them as?

He brought it up in the context of making an observation of how the world could be made better--how is that a defense mechanism per se? If loving God & others is how he chooses to then do his part, maybe MLJ could've followed up with asking for specific examples, what concretely that means to Fromm now in his daily life, how can he better serve his "neighbor" in the context of improving racial relations, etc.? Since the text messages didn't show that type of neighborly conduct, it's fair to ask what's changed for Fromm since then?

I haven't seen outright personal attacks yet in 10 pages, which speaks to the mutual respect most of us carry for each other built over months/years on this site opining on whatever the topic du jour happens to be.

Glad I never started. And I avoid PPP here like a covid positive public restroom.

Leviticus 19:18 "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD." Mark 12:28-31 "One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" 'The most important one,' answered Jesus, 'is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." Clearly what Fromm was paraphrasing (perhaps in-artfully as a young millennial?) was the point behind these specific scriptural references you're asking about? Again, if we start with the presupposition that Fromm based on his statement now believes in the teaching that we are all equal before God regardless of race/status, then the natural flow from that is it would be wrong to treat one another unequally based on said race/status.
