Jeremy Myers, i think you are wrong and David is right, so many out there are preaching you can live any way you want and be right that Grace covers any sin, they really believe that, that is not what the bible says, God was very concerned about sin so much he sent Jesus his son to die on a cross for us, if we accept Jesus as our savor then we are to obey his commandments, not break them, we are to live a righteous and holy life as possible, the bible plainly list a whole list
of things if we live in will not to to heaven unless we repent, if we die while in these sins, we will not
go to heaven, what is the difference, between someone who said a prayer and someone who did not, and they are living the same way, none, i think, if we are truly saved it should be hard to do these
things let alone live and do them everyday, i would be afraid to tell people that it does not matte grace covers their sins, i really think it is the slip ups that we are convicted
of by the Holy Spirit and we ask for forgivness, how can anyones heart be right
with God and they have sex all the time out
of marriage, lie, break every commandment
of God, i don't think this is meaning grace covers those sins, until they repent and ask for forgiveness, a lot
of people will end up in hell because preachers teach Grace the wrong way,, and those preachers will answer to God for leading these people the wrong way, not saying you are one
of them, but be careful, everything we teach or preach must line up

So wait you aren't
going to blame what was obviously Politics on Religious Wars
lets not forget that there were a few
things involved in these «Wars
of Religion» and I am sure most historians will agree
with me, firstly the Crusades weren't thought up as some ideological crusade to protect Christians from some horde
of Muslims coming from the east, they were in - fact land grabbing and trying to stave off the eventual fall
of what is now known as Istanbul, secondly I highly doubt that most
of the average religious person had any idea just how politicized the church became during this time period or up until probably John Paul the II took over, I mean the Thirty Years War could have been called a Religious war under this Videos silly assumptions.
Thank you and agree
with you about all but not about me talking to extremes since no words would change the brainwash they
went through by their imams to prepare then fighting the Russians from Afganistan... It is only responsible for adjusting that mentality is their same programers imams otherwise it would be like talking to a brick wall or tackling a camal... The main
thing is that you are to take a good care
of Muslims in the state and never
let them grow fears from you or become jobless since such acts would assist the penetration
of extremism in to their mentality... check which branches
of Islam you have and mosques they operate and then read more which
of all branches are the most extremes that are to be handled
with care, but what I am saying not all branches
of Islam be accused
of extremes when only a branch or two doing all the mess.

I was tempted at first to give maybe a 10 point list
of advice for parents
going through deconstruction in front

things like
let them see the books you read and answer their curiosities about them; teach your kids how to think, not how to believe; tell them everything you're
going through and
let them deal
with what it means for them; ask them what they believe and listen objectively and engage in conversation about it; openly share your struggles
with what you're
going through
with the church and
let them process it themselves, and so on.
There is a need for the churches to change their own attitudes and styles
of life and
let themselves be renewed by the Gospel which is entrusted to them, that they may serve humankind
with a true interpretation
of what is
going on in the many struggles, pointing to Jesus Christ as the one in whom God sums up all
things?

There's basically no sense in allowing a player leave for free.The disgraceful
thing is he's our best player and you're
letting him
go for free.PSG have also given us the chance to include Lucas Moura / Blaise Matuidi in the deal.Why not take Matuidi and run.Then
go all out to find his replacement before the season starts.I just don't see sense in keeping him.Common sense tells us that he should be sold.You're not granted the title
with or without him and just so you know, teams have won the EPL
with wingers who are not better than Sanchez.Arsene should be smart before it's too late.I said weeks ago that if he knows in his heart that he's
going to sell he had better do it quickly before teams start placing mammoth prices on their players as they'll know that desperation
of suitors grows towards the end
of the window.

with this vardy transfer... it shows us many
things: 1) wenger is changing, something some
of us have been demanding for a long time; 2) it shows that wenger is taking risks: think about it, he is buying a men for a not cheap price, knowing he could not getting anything after,
with a future sell i mean... this is an act that shows wengers intentions to win something, the buy is not motivated by any financial or economic reason but only for a «get the f epl once again» reason... this is an act that shows us hungry, even if we fail, we could said we try... first ever, we really try; 3) finally but very important... vardy is the kind
of player we need... he is a warrior, a fighter... he has character... look at how he celebrate his goals... full
of energy... he, like alexis, can motivate the team when the
things are not
going in our way (something wenger cant do because
of his age and because he has never been an active coach on the pitch)... the vardy transfer, if it finish well, is a demostration
of a change, and a good one...
lets take care
of winning
things and do nt look the economic side for once... vardy is a bit old, but we can give a chance to welbeck after maybe, or akpom... u are not thinking about the future when we talk about ibra... guys: u complain when wenger do nt spend or because he is always looking for the bargain when u are the guys who has to pay the very expensive tickets... u complain when wenger buy the always for the future guy... like morata... stop to complain for everything and be consequent
with yourself... i would love auba, but it is not
going to happen... lukaku is awesome but the asking price is stupid...
lets try
with vardy, give us the throphy..

gone next year along

things till they rot, then gets rid

Let's get it over with and hope that the 1st 3 games will be a small sample of something that will not be consistent over the course of the season... Like Ramsey said let's see in 10 games or so and see where they are not only in the table but also the way they play... disappointed in the way we manage the transfer window but this team can do great things let's see how far they go & how much magic can Wenger work with the belief he has in the players enough not to buy somebody except Cech

I remember some
of you posted pics
of our midfield and praised ev some drew comparison
with lucho, ev has a style that is very similar to the Barca way, but he loves defensive stability and because we lack the true Barca MF to do it we are like this, we all agree some players must
go, but carefully looking at
things you see that most
of what ev does was done by pep (
of course not as boldly) but his style looks ugly and boring, guys
let us give him a chance it hurts but
let us do it,
let us see the big picture, he may not be capable
of beautiful football but at least while we build we are confident
of results which we need, when we rebuild then
let us fire him, but if this is down to the players then we are making a mistake, I am not asking anyone to change but just stop insulting and criticising ev, patience is the key.
I can only hope that this attempt is taken more seriously than the largely muted and clearly unsuccessful protests
of late last season... although the plane writing escapade brought some much - needed attention to the matter, it failed to resonate
with fence - sitters and those who had just recently fell off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing
of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak and poorly organized, especially to the major media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly changed what was to follow... but I get it, few wanted to turn on their club,
let alone make a public display
of their discord... problem is, they are preying on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting on you to keep your thoughts to yourself... who are you to tell these fat cats how to steal your money... they have worked long and hard to pull the wool over your eyes... they even
went so far as to pay enormous sums
of cash to your once beloved professor to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole
thing would be more palatable... eventually the club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively small fringe group
of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the club hierarchy to claim victory following the FA Cup win... unfortunately what has happened to this club can't be solved by FA Cups or a few players coming in, the very culture
of this club needs to be changed and that starts at the top... in order to change the unhealthy and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this club we need to remove everyone who presently occupies a position
of power... only then can we get back to the business
of playing championship caliber football, which should always be the number one priority
of this organization... on an important side note, one
of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days
of this hectic and poorly planned transfer window didn't have to do
with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even start for Dortmund this season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead
of spending so much time, energy and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due to their all too familiar tunnel vision
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition
of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release
of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state
of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option
with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid
of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy
of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid
of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid
of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray
with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction
of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return
of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort
of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative
of what's wrong
with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition
of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle
of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any
of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind
of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign...
with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack
of defensive prowess and provide him
with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or
with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result
of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest
of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands
of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none
of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club
of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid
of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field
of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version
of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers
with no history
of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet
of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival
of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone
of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players
of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that
of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually
went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not
going to press their current teams to
let them
go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part
of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree
with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great
things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet
of those who were well aware all along
of the potential pitfalls
of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
Giggs was 17 Fabragas 17 Rooney 17 Beckham 17 why are we dissapionted he looks very very good better than Wlishire so
let's not think all the time that spending millions is always the answer Ozil at 42 million seems a waist but hope now
with Sanches and Wellbeck he can show his worth and Coquelin to rub some
of the so called fans, his nose in them too.Cant wait for City game being in Australia getting up at 3 am now that
things are improving is gonna be like ol times COYG CB
John fox I agree
with what you say about young players
let other teams develop them I could support Belerin a bit more but I do belive he wanted out so his not a true Arsenal, him and others should look at Sanchez what his
going through
with all that talent, I'm just saying that other teams are not so accommodating as many Arsenal players who left to find out, and about Lucas we could
of used him this season but he wanted out and now look what's happening to him, I think OG will not have a successful time at Chelse, OX is in a same situation as he was at Arsenal the only
thing is his secured a CL spot for next year, the grass is defenetly not greener on the other side
of the fence,
The saddest
thing is that some fans can't
let go of the disease which is stagnating Arsenal.We have become a joke in the footballing world.We saw someone who was an assistant manager under Ranieri perform wonders in the champions league by beating a very good Sevilla side but we are stuck
with a manager who has past his best but is still clinging on to power.
I no it sounds like am always critical
of arsenal and am sorry but i cant take it anymore wenger is the problem because he buys the players i hate people who promised to do something and breaks the promise every time why should cecs stay were not
going to win anything he wants to win
things not finish 4th or 3rd every season
with a team that improves by one inch every year why are we fooling ourselves here wenger promised experience players this season where are they this is basically the same team if you do the same
thing every time you get same results what that old saying (if you fool me once shame on you but if you fool me twice or thrice shame on me) and
lets face it wenger has been fooling us now for five seasons..........
what the f**k are all these northern monkeys coming on an arsenal blog for - barton is a sneaky c ** t & knew what he was up to
with a potential leg breaking follow through tackle & if any
of you neanderthals know ANYTHING about football you'd admit it!but then again when an arsenal hating, useless prick, biased referee will
let these
thing go what do you expect - does help when you're up against 10 men, corrupt ref though - this i might remind you is the same ref who comically sent wenger to the statds at old trafford for throwing a bottle to the floor!the c ** t has an agenda against us & we sufferd as a result.
