Can someone tell me what’s a normal or good range for indoor humidity for a home in Baton Rouge area? Mine stays around 60% also.

I also have an Ecobee. I just purchased an indoor hygrometer to compare.


60% is a bit high in my experience. In the summer when a/c is running regularly my house stays between 45-50%.

Winter time can vary bigly. A dry air cool front plus running the heater will put my house 35-40%. Cool wet weather will make the house 55-60% or higher, and that's when I pull out the standalone dehumidifier.
Go buy or rent a standalone dehumidifier, and get the humidity down. Buy some other hygrometers to verify humidity in different parts of the house. Unlike temperature, humidity tends to equalize within a given space more evenly.

Neither Leo nor Francis ever spoke infallibly. They are human and entitled to their own (frequently wrong) political opinions.

The issue is whether Scripture authorizes Christians to address departed saints in prayer and seek their intercession or protection.

No text commands it, no text models it, and several texts warn against religious recourse to the dead. It is bad Roman pagan-syncretic dogma.




You're using Sola Scriptura as your burden of proof. Ironic, because Sola Scriptura is not biblical.

1 Tim 15, The church is the Pilar and foundation of truth.

You're also using theological exclusion, that somehow silence on a matter means prohibition. That itself is not biblical either.

Regardless, the saints in Rev 5:8 are already bringing our prayers to God. Asking other living souls to pray for us is affirmwd throughout the bible.


And then, of course, we have history.

There are examples of intercession prayers from the 200s.




I have 2 of their TV's, one 50" and one 60" I think. We bought them because I like the native ROKU experience, but it turns out the TV's are great, especially for the money.
quote:

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.



Asking one person to pray for you in no way violates Christ's mediatorship. Christ is a unique mediator between man and God because He is the only person who is both God and man the only God-man. But that role as mediator is not compromised in the least by the fact that others intercede for us.

In fact, just four verses before 1 Timothy 2:5, Paul urges: "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men." Paul is clearly not saying intercession is forbidden he's commanding it.

Revelation 5:8, where John depicts the saints in heaven offering our prayers to God under the form of "golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." If the saints in heaven are offering our prayers to God, then they must be aware of our prayers.

In Revelation 6:9-11, the martyred saints in heaven cry out in a loud voice to God. This means that the saints in heaven are praying for those on earth, and God answers their prayers (Rev. 8:1-5). We therefore ask for their intercession and protection.

"Elders" in heaven (dead saints) spoke to St. John (Revelation 5:5; 7:13-17), and John spoke to one of them (Revelation 7:14). Communication between heaven and earth is clearly not off-limits in Scripture


TL;DR

If you're going to use Scripture, you gotta use all of it.....


re: Vote NO on BREC tax June 27th

Vote NO anyways. BREC is over funded and is not making good use of our tax dollars. We spend way more per capita for BREC than areas with nicer amenities.

They are over funded, but mismanaged.
I think he's talking about executing a pass. Just because someone wants to drive 90mph in the left lane (because they are late) doesn't mean that someone else executing a pass in the left lane(closer to the speed limit) is in any way wrong.

You hate people that do last minute things and have to rush...yet you hate people who obey traffic laws and have time to drive in a relaxed manner?

I hate to break it to you...but you're one who's always late


This. I am punctual, early, and I drive with no stress because I have time to get where I need to be. People driving around and changing lanes like a crackhead trying to get 2 cars ahead make everything worse for everyone. If people drove the speed limit and paid attention we would all get where we are going, sooner. I stay out of the left lane unless passing, but the life lesson is to leave early and drive chill.

re: If oil prices remain high

Motor oil recycling and crude oil pricing have little correlation. Most people don't change their own oil anymore, and even for the ones that do, you're talking about gallons per year in most cases.
