As I recovered in post-op, the first words that came out of my mouth were: "I am lucid. I am cogent. And you can tell my wife that I have not lost my marbles." The RN looking after me burst into laughter.

My “Siri” gives the same definition to both words. “il Papa“ seems to have his own definitions, although he describes different scenarios. A different scenario is what I visualize happening with evangelism, you can disciple someone as requested by Jesus or you can just “dunk em & forget em” as often happens then wonder why they disappear a short time later.

He's a very conservative Catholic.

To preach deliverance ? Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Romans 6:16 -- "Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?" Romans chapter 6 (and the first part of chapter 7) is talking about how believers have been freed from the rule of sin, because in Christ they have died to sin and are freed from the mastery of sin over themselves and have a new Master named Jesus. When Paul says in verse 14 "you are not under law", he is talking about the natural law that causes slavery and death to those who obey sin.

5 Things You Didn't Know About the Battle of Yorktown_3 On September 28, 1781, the Battle of Yorktown began, which was the last major battle for American independence. Here are 5 things you probably didn’t know about the Battle of Yorktown which effectively brought an end to the American Revolution.... Bread Ovens in New Jersey Helped to Fool the British Having taken over from General Howe, General Sir Henry Clinton controlled British forces and awaited an American attack on New York City during the summer. The attack never came. The allies were attacking British troops in Yorktown, Virginia, but needed to keep Cornwallis from sending reinforcements. So, they built bread ovens out of brick in the northern part of New Jersey, which made British spies think that American and French troops were going to place a large army there and attack New York. Clinton and his British forces did not discover the ruse until it was too late, and they did not arrive to reinforce Cornwallis’s troops at Yorktown until the day of the surrender. The British Held Out a Long Time Despite Being Outnumbered Yorktown was entirely circled by an army of French and American troops on September 28. The allied troops numbered more than 17,000 against 9,000 British led by Lord Cornwallis. Despite the overwhelming odds, the battle continued for 20 days, with the British troops being under constant bombardment by American and French forces. The British forces surrendered when they realized reinforcements were not coming and they began running out of food and ammunition. Many British Troops Could Not Fight at Yorktown Malaria was common in Virginia up until it was eradicated in the early 1950s, but Virginians had developed some resistance to it. The British had not. Cornwallis reported that half his army suffered from malaria and could not fight. The Frenchmen who participated in the battle were exposed to malaria as well, but since malaria has a long incubation period, they did not exhibit symptoms of the malady until the battle was over. The Battle of Yorktown Decided the Fate of the Revolutionary War The defeat of the British by allied forces at the Battle of Yorktown was the final major battle of the Revolutionary War conducted on land. Following the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781, peace negotiations started the following year, ultimately leading to the 1783 Treaty of Paris. The treaty officially ended the American Revolutionary War with Britain’s recognition of the United States as an independent and free nation. Cornwallis Refused to Attend the Ceremony of Surrender At the surrender ceremony following the Battle of Yorktown, Lord Cornwallis claimed illness and refused to attend. Instead, Brigadier General Charles O’Hara was present to offer the sword of surrender to the Count of Rochambeau, who instead gestured that he should hand it to General George Washington. Washington himself refused and ordered Benjamin Lincoln, his second-in-command, to take the sword.

The article was a bit disingenuous in its use of the Ellen White quote regarding the general conference. And as usual for those supporting WO, they left out this quote: "When in a General Conference, the judgment of the brethren assembled from all parts of the field is exercised, private independence and private judgment must not be stubbornly maintained, but surrendered. Never should a laborer regard as a virtue the persistent maintenance of his position of independence, contrary to the decision of the general body." 9T, p. 260. Given that the church as a whole through the delegates to the general conference convention voted against the WO idea, how else is compliance with the mandate of the delegates to be carried out? While vitriol continues to be heaped on Ted Wilson be even Adventists in some circles, if he disregarded the vote of the convention, what would that say regarding his leadership? Again, I would say that the NAD, EUR, and the SPD are exhibiting very racist behaviors in carrying on like the rest of the church body doesn't have the good sense to believe what they do. Essentially, the NAD is largely now run by a bunch of beta-males willing to cave to the feminist movement. Truly sad.
