re: A mating pair of bluebirds has setup shop in my carport

Posted by Canon951 on 4/9/26 at 5:19 pm to FAT SEXY

I love bluebirds. I have built some bluebird houses and put up in the yard. I have a pair or their kids that come back every year. The blue birds are neat. Watch them and you will see the female builds the nest while the male stays there and guards the nest. He will run off any birds or squirrels that gets close as she flies back and forth one stick at a time.

The older I get the more interested I get in birds. I have one of those feeders with a camera and an app on my phone to watch the birds that my daughter gave me for my birthday last year.

I just bought a 21 Tundra with the old motor. The truck is like new and best of all, I didn't have to take the gigantic financial hit of buying it brand new. I didn't have enough trust in the new ones to drop that kind of coin on one.

I'm with you on the GMC/Chevy and the Dodge's though, I always hear a lot of bad things about those, and especially the Fords. I know three people with a Ford F150 and two of them have dropped thousands of dollars into them shortly after purchasing, which is why I said not to buy a Ford. They're not all shite, though.

I've been a Toyota fan for alot years. We have had several cars and suvs, never had one of their trucks, but I'm skeptical of the new engine. One thing I feel pretty certain of though is that Toyota will get it figured out. They always do. :cheers:

Damn. I had no idea Ford still made a V8 for half tons.

Hmmmmm…

They did in 2024 when I bought mine. It's just a regular engine, none of that turbo stuff.

I had the 3.5 in my 2018 and now the 5.0 in my 2024. Both have plenty of power. My brother has the 2.7 in his 2019 and swears by it. I think they are all pretty solid motors. If I had to choose, (which i just did recently) I would go with the 5.0 coyote.

If the 5.0 is out of the question then I would choose the 3.5 over the 2.7 just because...lol.

Islam will be the largest religion in the world after the rapture occurs. The antichrist will be Islamic (their mahdi) and the world will have to convert and worship him as God or lose their head. Islam is our enemy. This is what I believe.

I took my wife's suv in this morning to the dealer for an oil change/service. I started going back to the dealer for this a few years back because of the dope heads that work at the jiffy lube places. But after sticking me for $125 for an oil change this morning I think I'm just gonna start doing them myself again.

From the catholic catechism

, people who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel but sincerely seek God and strive to do His will as known through their conscience may achieve eternal salvation. However, the Church maintains the obligation to evangelize, as salvation is ultimately mediated by Christ

This does not square up with "you must be born again" or that Jesus said he was the "way, truth and life, in which no one comes to the father except through him."

If someone sincerely seeks God then I feel confident that God will reveal his son to that person in some way so they can believe and be saved. He can do it through dreams or visions perhaps, but no one goes to heaven except by believing in Jesus for salvation and everlasting life.

Jesus said he was the only way to the father. He's either telling us the truth or a liar or a nutjob. There are no other options. If we believe in an almighty and all knowing God then we have to trust that he is just when he deals with those you describe in your post.

Acts 13:38–39

“Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.”

We can’t save ourselves. It’s not about your finished works. It’s about the finished work of Jesus. He did it all on our behalf, and when we place our faith and trust in Him alone, we are given His righteousness as we pass from death to life as Jesus did from the cross to resurrection.

Guys...if you have not placed your faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ then today is the day of salvation. Do not wait. Everyone in this world is in 1 of 2 spiritual conditions; either saved or lost. Or "condemned" or "not condemned" and it's based on whether or not you believe in God's one and only son for your eternal salvation. Get saved today. Your eternal soul depends on it. Jesus loves you and died for you. He only wants you to trust him. Happy Easter!

John 3:
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

They didn't even recognize that he was their messiah they had been waiting for when the Old Testament had been prophesying about him for thousands of years.

I don't think we disagree in that we are all sinners and our sins put Jesus on the cross. I just contend that the jewish leadership is what made it all happen. :cheers:

I don't think anyone hates islamic people but their religion is a counterfeit death cult and anyone who is a Christian hates any religion that doesn't teach the truth.

Let me edit this for clarity....Salvation is by faith in Christ. Anyone that teaches others something other than that is punching their ticket to hell and we don't want people to go to hell. Therefore it is understandable to hate false teaching that leads people away from the truth. Not to mention all the beheading and stuff some of those monsters do.

Yes all guilty of sin. But scripture tells us in both of those passages that we are all guilty of His death. The Roman soilders weren’t Jews. Pilate wasn’t a Jew. If you think he wasn’t guilty just because he washed his hands is not true. He still had authority to stop it and he didn’t. To think that everyone in the crowd were Jewish, is just silly. This took place on Friday morning early and was most likely a protest put in place by the Sanhedrin to stir up trouble.

I don't think we disagree that we are all guilty of sin and responsible for Jesus having to die for us. But the Romans would not have killed Jesus without pressure from the jews. Pilate was trying his best to turn him loose. I never said or implied that Pilate wasn't guilty. He could have shut it down for sure. From scripture in John 19 it is clear that the audience calling for his death is jewish.

6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”

But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”

7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
.......

Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”

11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

“Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews.

15 But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”

“Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.

“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.

So I don't disagree with you that all of us are guilty. There were non jews probably present in addition to the Romans....agreed. However, its clear that the jewish leaders stirred up the crowd and physically caused the death of jesus at the hands of the romans.

What separates Jesus’ sacrifice from that of a soldier or police officer killed in duty? Again, just curious to read takes on this

Jesus was innocent. He is God in the flesh and died for our sins. He is the only person capable of saving us. No regular person can do that.
