The debate over whether or not a person who has received salvation through Jesus Christ, can become lost again, has been around probably since the beginning of Christianity.

This is a new idea in warfare, to have small unmanned vessels, sailing around and acting as the eyes and ears of the manned navy by listening in with passive sonar to track submarines. Nuclear attack boats are not defensive weapons that are hanging around your own coasts. No, like aircraft carriers, they take the war to foreign shores, not for self-defence but in order to be able to strike first. The US Navy’s ability to hunt submarines is outdated. An older Russian Akula class nuclear ...
