Hey Dan, I would say, not hell, but Hades. Hell, as understood by 16th century Christians who translated the KJV, carried the same idea as Hades does today, called Sheol in the OT. The NKJV Bible fixed that. I agree that it's not a parable. Abrahams bosom, that's where OT believers who where physically dead waited for Jesus and the cross. Promises don't justify, nor do they make born again, only in Christ do we have those things that save us. Without the Holy spirit indwelling (baptism with the Holy Spirit, we are not in Christ and not saved.

# 2 HADES

Yu-Gi-Oh! is a faith based game that details how, like us, individuals interact with each other on a day-to-day basis to either support each other or ultimately neglect each other. But the game advertizes these day-to-day interactions as a battle and even at times encourages the idea that individuals should battle for dominance. Is that really okay? If we take into consideration what Spiritual Warfare is, it seems like our day-to-day interactions are a battle as we step out in faith and go against satan's plans by engaging with each other as God made us to. But can we truly say that God made us to dominate? Maybe it's just wording but I'm always concerned how some people believe satan's lie that they can work for their salvation instead of just believing God. Is it okay for a game to represent these options for living in such an honest way?

Just to put it simply, The Old Testament at this point is describing the Spiritual Warfare that the Israelites had to do in order for those tribes to actually join them and keep themselves honoring God's Will. The science is a bit complicated since most people may not describe what is considered a "tree" in the spiritual sense in the text as a "tree" for the same spiritual thing today if you can even see it.

'Hegseth said he did not see any survivors in the water, saying the vessel “exploded in fire, smoke, you can’t see anything. ... This is called the fog of war.”

The man is an idiot.

Yes he is an idiot. And he is emblematic of this whole admin. They claim the US is in war against Narco terrorists. There was one strike where they didn't manage to kill everyone on board. They scooped up the survivors. Did they send them to Gitmo? Because you know that's what becomes of enemy combatants. No, they didn't. They released them back home. Why did they do that? I am not a lawyer, but it seems those in Gitmo are afforded lawyers. I kind of think they didn't want those who survived accessible to divulge who they actually were, or weren't.

@samaus123456789 -
1/ The lost House of Irael is not yet rejoined with Judah. 3000 is not 'as many as the sands of the sea'.
2/ The Davidic Kingdom is not yet restored. Jesus hasn't Returned yet.
3/ What happened in 70 to 135AD, was just the conquest and dispersion of Judah.
4/ Christians are Gods Peoples, - 1 Peter 2:9-10, Revelation 5:9-10 From every tribe, race, nation and language.
5/ The Israeli flag displays the star of Rephaim. An ancient Satanic symbol.
6/ The joke about the 'lost tribes' now returning to the Jewish State of Israel, is that their qualification is to believe in Judaism.

Anyone who thinks you should be banned, must support their own beliefs with scriptural and other proofs,

It said although they were like the sand of the sea only a remnant would be saved. there was 7000 back at elijahs time. NT times the remnant was the 144 000 in rev 7 all saved via belief in jesus by 70 ad. rev 1-12 happened 70 ad rev 13-22 is future
2 the book of acts cites the prophecy in amos saying i will return and rebuild the tents of david. according to acts the davidic kingdom was restored on pentecost
3 70 ad was gods biggest judgement on OT israel in history and the end of OT israel never to come back again
4yes
5yes it is the mark of the beast i have a post on it
6 the lost tribes were lost from 700 bc until 30-70 ad pentecost regathered then all remnant israel was saved by 70 ad. james 1 says "to the 12 tribes among the nations"
a lot of christians dont like this. the christian zionists. they support the synagogue of satan religion regardless of what jesus or the bible says

You guys gotta help me here.

I read the article.

What is the crisis ? I'm serious.

Maybe as an American my "crisis" threshold has gone up but...

.... I see a Theological disagreement and a lot of talk about Islam (which I thought was weird given the topic of the article). But I honestly don't a crisis.

What am I missing ?

A possible schism is always a crisis. That would be my main concern for the salvation of souls.

But as that passage goes, you do agree that, before Paul was saved, we gentiles were cut off from God and have no hope, without becoming part of Israel?

Well,

Smoking is bad for you.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I hope you are all doing well & may God bless!

I'll tell you a long time ago nobody cared it was my birthday other then my family. But yesterday, I got so many birthday wishes from different people I've met since that time. I wouldn't have thought so back then

Thank you for providing the source. The only thing that interested me in my quick read was that the article was published in 2014 and their measure was the WISC which was replaced in 1974 by the WISC-R. I think the results are relative (no pun intended) and would not have been changed by using the current version of the test, but I wonder why they did that. I doubt it is a textual error given the thoroughness of the article.

DOJ charges former Navy sailor, 4 others for alleged roles in 'monstrous' online extortion group​

Authorities say the group, "Greggy's Cult," later helped spawn the 764 network.

For much of the past year, federal authorities have been issuing similar warnings about online predators operating much like "Greggy's Cult," especially members of the online extremist network 764, who often extort young victims into self-harm but also desensitize them with neo-Nazi or other extremist propaganda and push victims to commit extreme acts of violence against others, including mass shootings.

It looks like they know what the effects of Trump's actions have done to the economy, and are trying to delay the discovery.

I don't think those kinds of "psychic economic visions" can be made with regards all economic policy endeavors and exploration.

Some of the easy stuff can be predicted with a certain degree of confidence. (for example, something blatant like "We're going to increase sales tax on all items to 90%")

Then other things predicted wildly inaccurately. Like when Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman famously said "In a few years you'll find, that the impact the internet has on the economy will be no greater than that of the fax machine"


But I don't think the kinds of things currently being argued about necessarily fit that "easy to predict the outcome" model.
-- unless of course, its "self-fulfilling prophecy" when people sabotage new ideas on purpose just to strong arm people into going back to the comfortable status quo.


Admittedly, I'm undecided on aspects of the whole tariff thing....but I do know, that it's the kind of change that will have a certain "pain period" due to its deviation from the status quo, and only after that adjustment period would we know if it was actually a good idea.

The issue is that the "keepers of the status quo" like the status quo and profit handsomely off of it, and in a confidence-based economy, all it takes for one of them to sabotage an idea is to give a statement to one of their pals in the mainstream media who will print it, and cause a panic (undermining confidence), which will kneecap any new idea before it's even given a fair attempt.

There are rich states and poor (usually red) states. There are states that are continually beset with natural disasters--Florida, Louisiana, Texas, California--and others that are usually safe from hurricanes and forest fires.

This is why FEMA should be a federal program--and Trump should allow FEMA to do its job without petty vindictive revenge fantasies that he continually engages in.

That’s pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing!
