Another way Satan attempted to confuse the evidence was through the ancient “mystery religions.” Even before the earthly ministry of Jesus, Satan was at work to undermine and confuse the evidence by counterfeiting Christ’s first coming. In the mystery religions the central figure was a dying, rising savior who had been supernaturally born. He died […] The post Satan and the Meaning of Salvation (17:8) appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog. View the full article

When swallowed by toads, bombardier beetles project hot, noxious chemicals from their anuses, which sometimes forces the predators to puke them back up. James

Not serve sin Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

5 Things You Didn't Know About The Obamas On October 3, 1992, Barack Obama married Michelle Robinson at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Here are 5 things you probably never knew about the Obamas.... He Was Rejected as a Male Model Barack Obama applied as a model for a calendar at Harvard that a classmate was making that featured male African-American law students. There were around 90 African-American students enrolled as law students that year, so the competition was fierce. Nevertheless, the judging committee was quick to reject Obama as one of the models. Both Attended Harvard Law School Michelle Robinson attended Princeton, graduating in 1985 with a BA in sociology and went on to Harvard Law School, where she graduated in 1988. Barack Obama attended Occidental College in Los Angeles for two years and transferred to Columbia University in New York, where he majored in political science and English literature. He arrived at Harvard to attend law school in the fall of 1988. He apparently just missed meeting his future wife at Harvard but made up for it when he was a summer intern at the law firm where she was working in Chicago. Michelle Was Reluctant to Date Barack Michelle was working on her first year with the law firm of Sidley Austin in Chicago when she met Barack Obama. She was his mentor during that summer in 1989 but declined his initial requests to go out on a date because she thought it would be inappropriate. Apparently, Obama asked her to go out numerous times, but she didn’t say yes until he said he would leave his job in order to date her. He Wasn’t Exactly Wild About the Idea of Marriage Although the Obamas’ marriage seems to others like something out of a perfect fairy tale, Michelle had to push Barack somewhat toward the idea of marriage. She said he thought it was a “meaningless institution,” but Michelle’s parents had been together for 30 years. Finally, when she brought up the subject, he presented her with a ring, and they married the next year. Michelle Didn’t Believe He Would Win the Presidential Election Michelle was supportive of her husband’s run for the presidency; however, she didn’t want to serve as the first lady and didn’t think he stood much chance at winning. She simply thought America would not elect an African-American president, especially one with a name such as Barack Hussein Obama. Despite these thoughts, she actively campaigned for her husband, and their close-knit, romantic marriage was seen as a factor in his winning the election in 2008.

Good question. I don't think it's the term that is important. I'm referring to the idea or principle that underlies Paul's explanations in Romans 6 of being enslaved to sin and being set free from sin. For example, in the verse I quoted Paul says, "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 6:16) Is Paul referring to some "law" written in God's Law of Moses, or to some "law" that wouldn't exist unless it is found somewhere in Scripture? I don't think so. He seems to be referring to a principle that exists without being explicitly created by a declaration of God, but is built into human nature.

I think that if we were to identify from Scripture the nature of said WORK, we would have a clearer picture of "the night." In brief summary form, Id say its not related to a specific date or time period as much as it is talking about people losing the right/ability to do that "work." Just as Rev 3:10 warns of a "test" that will come to every person on Earth; it gives no specific indications of dates or time periods.
