That is not an answer because Dan. 11:21-34 is about Antiochus Epiphanes. I have done an Exegesis where I explain every verse. You can't explain when you have the wrong people and verses sister.


All this has nothing to do with Prophesy. 150 years ago people laughed at those we stated Israel would be reborn, and the Scientists all stated the Universe had to be eternal. The Big Bang proved God's word true, that the Universe had a beginning, thus it had to have been created. It was, God spoke matter into being which started with a loud noise by His actionable spoken word to go forth.

We can be like our forefathers 150 years ago and stand on the word or look to the world and try to insert our assumptions. They above, which you wrote, is never told unto us anywhere in the bible, you assume he is a Muslim, I assume correctly he can only be an Atheist. Why?

1.) He will serve NO GODS as Dan. 11:36-37 says.

2.) He will kill off False Religion or the Harlot. Is Islam false religion? Yes, so he will have the 10 (E.U.) destroy all religions save Beast worship, that will include the E.U./Anti-Christ coming against Muslims, Hinduism, Buddhism, Witchcraft, Christendom of the Remnant, Judaism et al.

3.) No Muslim nation is powerful enough to do squat. They never have been in the modern world.

4.) The AC and E.U. only conquer a certain area, not the whole world. We se 1/3 of the world is on fire by the Rev. 8 Asteroid, I see that as the New World, that is why the USA is not involved, Satan understands the bible, he knows this is coming, so he will wait until this TAKES OUT the USA before he makes his move. Then the E.U. only conquers what we see in Dan. 11:40-43, countries in between him and Israel, which would be Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, and all of Northern Iraq, but can not conquer the Petra and Bozrah region (Moab, Ammon and Edom).


5.) There is trouble out of the East and North........HOW if he has conquered the whole world could he have trouble. And Jesus says he he had not cut the AC's life short (to only 1260 days of rule as the Beast) he would have killed all humans on earth. Meaning Nuclear War, and you do not have wars against those you have conquered already. He has ONE JOB in his mind, to kill every Jew so he can rove God wrong.

Nowhere in the bible is a Muslim horde coming against Israel in the end time. The Gog and Magog War has Russia, leading Turkey and Iran against Israel and God wipes out 5/6 of their Armies, why not all? Because God wants the AC to go forth against Israel and the Mediterranean Sea Region, but he wants Russia to be able to protect herself from this mad man. In the Gog wars not nation with a common border with Israel goes to war against Israel, did you know that? Thus the Abraham Accord was a needed Agreement and that is one main reason Trump was elected in 2016. The E.U. will wipe out all religion in the E.U. and in the Mediterranean Sea Region the conquer, not in Indonesia, India, etc. etc. Muslims will be wiped out in the E.U. and the region he conquers.

You are using circular reasoning.

You made the points:

1. The tasters fell away.
2. Tasting is only superficial, not real embracement.
3. Therefore, the people described in Hebrews 6:4–6 were never truly saved.

Here’s why that reasoning is circular:

• The text of Hebrews 6 itself says these people were “once enlightened,” “tasted the heavenly gift,” “partakers of the Holy Spirit,” and “tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come.” Those are strong terms that, at face value, sound like genuine spiritual experience.
• To avoid the conclusion that real believers can fall away, you redefines “tasting” as “only superficial.”
• But their only reason for redefining it is because you already assume true believers can’t fall away.

In other words:

• Premise: True believers can’t fall away.
• Evidence: These tasters fell away.
• Solution: Then they must not have been true believers.
• Why not? Because tasting was only superficial.
• How do we know tasting was superficial? Because they fell away.

That’s the circle. The conclusion (“they weren’t true believers”) is smuggled into the premise (“true believers can’t fall away”), rather than being shown from the text itself.

In short, That’s circular reasoning because you’re defining ‘tasting’ as superficial only because they fell away, and then using their falling away to prove it was superficial — the argument assumes its own conclusion instead of proving it.

My comment was not directed at you specifically (and you must admit that you are far from the hermeneutical position of Conservative thinking on hermeneutics). NxNW's remarks about the "perfection" of the Bible was not his own opinion but a comment about how the Bible has been represented to him as an authority for the conservative political agenda.

Colorado school teen shooter had an account on "violent gore" site months before shooting, ADL says​

According to the ADL report, several school shooters in the past year, including Holly, had been active on the same website, which the organization says is known for hosting content backing white supremacist ideas as well as material portraying graphic violence against both people and animals. People can navigate to the website, WatchPeopleDie, and access a forum where they can watch real images of beheadings, shootings and other violence. The site started on Reddit before being banned in March 2019.

"We're talking about thousands of people who are on these spaces," ADL Senior Vice President of Counter-Extremism and Intelligence, Oren Segal, told CBS News. "There's no friction to access — anybody can do it."

The website Holly used was also frequented, the ADL says, by other individuals who have carried out school shootings.

We had a similar problem as well but I wouldn’t say it’s the fault of the church per se. The settings were warm and engaging and the teachings weren’t off course. The churches were nice but weren’t enough for what we’re seeking at this juncture. I realized we’d have to build our own and foster the connections we lacked.

What one person requires for spiritual fulfillment will differ from the next and that’s okay. Churches come in many flavors and the majority find what they need to some degree. But when that isn’t so you may have to think outside the box and that’s the gray in all of this. How do you address instruction and fellowship outside of that setting? Worship and study isn’t hard to do alone but what about support? There’s a lot of people on the site who don’t have a home church and loneliness is a common complaint. Maybe you can work together?

I think it’s best if you know what you want and note what matters. Defining your musts and maybes can make the search easier.

Science tells us that something cannot come from nothing. Thus, according to science, there was something (not just evidence of something, but something) there before the Big Bang. What was there before the Big Bang we call God.

You all should be careful of treating AI as some kind of oracle.

Also, the argument about Christianity being valid or not, by looking at countries like the United States and its social problems, could potentially be flattening alot of nuance and complexity. Which is something that LLM's like ChatGPT are more than capable of doing, especially if you don't consider multiple perspectives simultaneously. You need to look at the mythopoetic and symbolic, the rational-analytical, and the actual historical-material and political-economic circumstances together.
