Religious protectors?

Kent Hovind entered an academia arena and gave a three minute (?) answer to someone who asked where God came from.

The audience cheered and clapped.

Some posters here think his answer is wrong, because he did time in prison.

Good thing he didn't say 2 plus 2 equal 4, else his "prison record" would show his statement to be a lie.

That's not even close for why I have little regard for what Hovind says.

They are. The fact that you've been missexed is irrelevant. It was a mistake. Just like someone can think one is white when in fact you might be native American. You are what you were born as and pronouns are tied to sex. "He" is tied to the male sex. She is tied to the female sex.

So how do you determine sex before using anyone's pronouns? No, it is all convention.

If it wasn't then it wouldn't be such a big deal to those who want to be called the opposite sex pronouns.

Why, many feel that they are important markers of gender. It is you who claim that they are linked to sex, but no one of you have mentioned your preferred way of ascertaining sex.

I believe Christians generally will be blindsided. There were all those following Trump blindly to get him in office, and they are in denial of what is happening to the world, to let it continue as is, because any crisis from it does not fit their eschatology, they are so sure theirs is the right understanding. I can see how that will go, and God hates the destruction to this earth, why will God stop the collapse of that which is destructive?

Because there are innocent people within those places that have to shoulder the burden just because everybody else surrounding them has turned away from God.

It's always the innocent little guy that gets disadvantaged while the spiritual world battle between good and evil is waged. It's just like politics.

That caused me to raise an eyebrow. This is not an ordinary crook or even an ordinary Muslim terrorist.

If it's a false flag attack, I still can't guess which fly he is flying under.

I've really been trying hard for years to save self-pleasure for when there are genuine sexual urges. Last night was a rare slip-up for me.

It’s an aspect about this many want to overlook but yes, I agree it’s not the most central part of the story. I think it’s important to highlight. Another side is how determined he was to drive across the country to carry this out in the nation’s capital. Makes me think the blame lies a bit more on our foreign policy of the past 25 years than any specific action from any recent administration.

Although some initial reports that both had died were wrong, now one has, alas.

1 of 2 National Guard members wounded in 'targeted shooting' has died, Trump says​

The other wounded National Guard member remained in critical condition.

That's who he is. He loves even his enemies. He blesses those who curse & betray him.

Apparently sexual desire itself is a sin according to Christians.

"You wrestle w/ the sinner's heart"

"There is no one like you, there is none beside you"

There was a really good Christian Thanksgiving song I found on the radio the other day but I don't remember what it was!

Is Christ in Christmas?
Is this His business?
Is this His witness?
Christ now within us?

And does this matter?
Not empty chatter,
Not meant to scatter,
Nor faith to shatter.

Yes! It’s important,
So not leave dormant,
Remain informant,
The truth to warrant.

Christ not in Christmas.
It’s not His witness.
For in His strictness,
For truth He bids us

To know His teachings,
His truth now seeking,
Be we not sleeping,
His Word now reading.

Christ has a purpose,
Be in His service,
Not live on surface,
Your life He purchased.

Not follow idols,
Your sins now bridle,
Know what is vital,
Be His disciple.

If Christ to worship,
Do what He tells us,
What He compels us,
Not what world sells us.

I believe you will remember everything, God is not going to 'mind wipe' your memories.
Jesus remembered the disciples when he ate fish etc after resurrection, it would be a travesty to forget your life like your were a zombie.
God does everything perfect.

The Lazarus and the rich guy, remembered each other after death.

Happy Thanksgiving to All !

The Council was called to address those who insisted that Gentiles must be circumcised. It it true there is no record of anyone at the council challenging Paul's particular teaching below:

Cor 2:11-12 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of flesh in the circumcision of Christ; and you were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

Also while Gentiles were not considered God's chosen people in OT times, with Christianity Gentiles were included. The old is fulfilled in the new.

Click to expand...

The topic of discussion at the Jerusalem Council was the relationship between circumcision and Gentile believers. On that we are in complete agreement. If, in fact, God had replaced circumcision with baptism does it not seem at all odd that it was not even recorded??

Also, if baptism is salvific for Cristians was circumcision also salvific for Jews?

Everyone is assumed to be an amateur until expertise is evidenced. Not the other way around.

Click to expand...

That is a silly way to look at people. In fact it hinges on the very idea of using negative assumptions and stereotypes to generalise people.

But even if we go along with this assumption irs suppose to be a unknown one and not one that used against the person to discredit them. If its a neutral assumption that we just don't know.

Then using it as a weapon to discredit someone is no longer being neutral. It is then made into an absolute fact that the person is an amateur. Without the proper investigation to determine that.

Stopped_lurking said:

I wasn't the person who made the original claim, but so far it seems to hold. Why didn't they just use actual metrology software, then we wouldn't have this conversation.

Click to expand...

That was never discussed. It was automatically assumed. Karoyl explained why and as far as I know nobody has mentioned this explanation as being wrong. As the vases were unprecedented there was no existing software that could capture the vases. So existing software was adjusted.

In fact Dr Max used a similar approach. But also the Vase project team did use the metrology software and came to the same findings. Which confirms the modified softeware was within the range of the metrology software.

But also to further confirm the measurements guage metrology was also done which also came to the same findings.

Basically the objections came down to the accuracy over what amounted to microns of difference. So I reduced the whole dispute from skeptics down to whether the circularity and concentricity was the result of lathing. Then it was a case of what level of lathing sophistication.

Fixating on microns of difference or even the vases as a whole is misleading. When we take a step back and realise that the vases look out of place for that time which did not even have the potters wheel.

Looking at the precision looking vases in the context of other signatures such as the obvious machining marks on stones, the softening of stone and other precision works allows us to understand that overall these ancients were capable of something greater methods than pounding, grinding and rubbing stones into such precision and quality.

With no academic output at all, he is an amateur. If one doesn't work professionally in the field one are an amateur. That's the definition.

Click to expand...

The point is if someone is going to make a claim of being an amateur then they should investigate first if this is the case. I am saying that no investigation at all was done beofre this accusation was hurled.

Karoyl states that the researchers that helped develop the software were "professionals" and not amateurs. So theres the first hint. Why would Karoyl use an amateur who knows little if his aim is to prove the precision of these vases. He chose to measure vases in museums because of the provenance issue. So why would be then throw another obstacle in his work.

A simple search gives you one of the researchers Marian Marcis who is a Professor in Photogrammetry, Image Scanning, #d reconstructions and Digitalisation of cultural images. That seems the exact expertise needed. Or at least beyond the amateur level lol.

If you had read it you would know. What they did is explained in the methods section, including their assumptions.

Why do you skip the most important points about how bias is being used. How Christ King like the professional software researchers are called amateurs as part of discrediting the whole research project.

The new tech that was derived from the modelling is stated by the scientists involved. Unless you think they are lying.

Stopped_lurking said:

Radiowaves with an wavelength between 200 to 600 m (not all of them to any large degree). But no extraction device was hypothesized.

Click to expand...

There are two aspects I think. The modelling of the entire structure, its shape and how this itself causes radiowaves of a particular length are concentrated into the chambers and base.

Then there is investigation of the specific of the internal structure as to how this may further concentrate electromagnetic waves into the chambers or other parts of the pyramid. Such as thermal or acoustics. Thats not to say that the placement and use of granite or specific stone types are not themselves the generator of certain effects. Such as the granite in chambers being under tremendous pressure.

I am pretty sure there have been tests done in the pyramid chamber and ante chamber that have shown high piezoelectric effects. I know there have been acoustic tests.

Stopped_lurking said:

No energy extraction.

Click to expand...

What do you mean by energy extraction. Is this the mechanism that can utilise the energy that has been generated. As far as I understand the modelling and evidence shows that the pyramid could potentially be an energy generator and that this could be a source of energy that could be utilised by the Egyptians.

They just have not yet joined the dots in showing how that energy could have been utilised.

Stopped_lurking said:

This a paper describing what they want to do, not what have been done. You have posted it before, and I gave you the same comment. Did you even reread it in light of my comment? It is unclear whether that conference contribution was peer-reviewed.

Click to expand...

Yes and my point is like all good science the modelling and theorectic science is done first based on a hypothesis. Which is usually imagined based on some indirect evidence ie good acoustics in pyramid, some anomelies such as finding certain signatures.

Then its a case of testing directly to confirm. My point is as this is all fairly new science due to the new tech available that these preliminary tests and science is not psuedoscience as its all been labelled but part of the science process. That its being lumped as all part of the conspiracy of lost advanced tech nutters is bias.

I think I have more than proved the bias and double standard. So its hard to take anything further on this thread as serious.
