Bill Gates alleged philanthropy.

Philanthropy is an altruistic effort to improve human welfare through charitable giving or other good works.

Bill Gates is NOT into Philanthropy; this is a tax shelter and can even be used to launder money. What amazes me is that the Government lets him get away with it. But that should be no surprise. Warren Buffet says his secretary pays more taxes than he does. They are very good at avoiding taxes and they are very good at fabricating a public image for themselves, so they look good to people.

No telling how much he paid for this article to make himself look good. Then he uses his search engine to promote his propaganda. The thing is that everyone buys into his scams. The government does regulate him a little bit but not that much. This does not even get into what he is doing with AI.

Hezbollah and Israel Are on the Brink of War....and Joe Biden is Silent about it



Where’s Joe Biden? As of writing this post at 2 am, there’s been no statement about the attack, not even a tweet. Who’s in charge of the White House? Does Joe Biden know there’s been an attack? In his last Oval Office address, Mr. Biden had a laundry list of items he thought he could get done, showing that he still had the mental capacity to carry out his duties. He needed to sound busy, but we’re on the brink of a second front opening in the Middle East between Israel and radical Islamic terrorists, and the president is AWOL.

Is it possible that the Son of God and His Father might be playing the greatest sport known to man?

Trump Claiming that He will Solve All Problems, So Christians Won't Have to Vote


This is a HUGE problem!

Trump is a convicted felon.
He still has many open indictments for more felonies.
Trump speaks in terms of vague slogans (such as "I will fix everything..."), but does not seem to have any real policies.

Some topics that immediately come to mind to me, are...

1 Why would he be addressing "Christians"?
Why not address ALL American citizens who are eligible to vote?

2 Why does Trump not understand, that his lifestyle and choices disqualify him
from being some representative of orthodox Christians, in the government?
Trump is not a Protestant Christian. He has threatened judges and their families,
and suggested that the lynching of Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence (outside the due
process of law) was the right thing to do. This is not Christian behavior.
Biden was not a Catholic Christian (not given how he supported abortion).

3 Would any local Christian congregation hire Trump to be their pastor?
This is a ridiculous concept. Who would trust Trump to even be their financial
advisor?

4 Why does Trump continue to NOT HAVE any specific policies, that he is running on?
Why this continual reference to "solving everything"?
Trump denied that the 2025 Plan was his outline of his policies,
even though this 900 page document fills out in quite a bit of detail how Trump
would seek to use legislation and the presidential powers to carry out his "slogans".

Why does Trump continue to deny that this 2025 Plan, written by his close former advisors
and friends, does not really flesh out his policies? This Plan includes the topics that Trump
has repeatedly asserted in past speeches.

If Trump has no specific policies, then he should be honest and say that.

If Trump's specific policies are different than the 2025 Plan,
then he should lay them out in more detail before voters, instead of
asking Christians to "trust him". After all, Trump is rich enough to have
hired a thousand managers to write specific policies to carry out his
"slogans". By now, he should have had detailed policies to present
to American voters.
---------- ----------

It is disturbing to see this candidate for president, who has been convicted
of 34 felonies for financial fraud and trying to deceive American voters
as to his bad character, appealing to "Christians" to trust him, to "fix everything".
Trump's history, says that he is untrustable, and is not at all concerned with
building up America.

Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election, because in her overweening arrogance
near the end of the campaign, when she had a substantial lead over Trump, she
started to mock religious conservatives. She seem to think that all religious
conservatives are anti-intellectual hillbillies.

Now, Trump, with his 34 felony convictions, and his Tucker Carlson conspiracy
theories, and his vague slogans about "fixing everything", also seems to think
that religious conservatives in America are anti-intellectul hillbillies.

The Republican Party has no credible candidate for president of the United States.

Where was Elam?

Britannica:

Elam, ancient country in southwestern Iran approximately equivalent to the modern region of Khūzestān.

Susa was Elam’s capital.

Later Elam formed a satrapy of the Persian Achaemenian dynasty, and Susa became one of the three most important cities of the Persian realm.

How do you read the Bible?

I'd like to hear from others how they read the Bible. I'm not talking about how one interprets etc, but how you get the information into your head.

I'll start. I use this app: Download The Bible App Now - 100% Free and I LISTEN to the Bible. I will put it on when I am in the shower in the morning, or when I am out working in my shop. There are many passages in the Bible that if I were turning pages in a book, I would want to skip past them. But because I am listening, that is less of an option. I find that I can get through much more of the Bible this way. And I think I process it differently in my head. Also, I start at the beginning (Genesis) and listen all the way through to the end. Because the OT is so long, sometimes I listen to the NT twice before starting over again in Genesis. In the app, there are multiple versions, and I like to listen to different versions each time.

How about you all? What do you do for reading? How long do you read? Do you go topically or linearly?

Best wishes,

KT

Happy to be here

Hello there,

Nice to meet you all. My name is Cami and I will always be obedient and faithful to God.

I’m in my mid-40s but have done special operations for an intelligence agency for years. God called on me to help with the most top secret, covert mission in history which is wrapping up.

I was feeling sadness recently because being part of this operation has led me to see that most people, especially in America, are bad. Maybe it was my childlike faith to believe otherwise. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m patriotic and love the USA but so many people are being led astray into ungodly and satanic behavior, even from pastors and churches.

I’m not able to get into further detail but please know that God and Jesus are here.

The world is going to be a much better place soon ❤️

Clinical Depression in Iran

Something interesting, I just found word of this on the internet- apparently Iran, the islamic republic of Iran, has very high rates of clinical depression, something like 15%-20% of Iranians have symptoms ranging from mild to severe depression. In contrast rates of depression in the USA are around 8.3%, much lower. There is a good reason for this! I think a spiritual force may be responsible for this, Iran is one of the most evil places in the world, also they adhere to a very radical form of Islam and Islam is the official state religion and the country is something like 99.5% muslim, conversion from Islam to Christianity carries the death penalty. Also the Iranian government hates Israel and that also may be a cause for this!

Republican Party leader and his lies

For the right-wing followers of Trump, do you think it is a good strategy to lie to the American people? If you support Trump, you support a person who lies for political gain. Is that a good strategy moving forward in the election? Having such a high number of Evangelical supporters, does supporting and spreading so many lies conflict with your values or is it an acceptable to spread lies in order to help your preferred candidate;s bid for President?

Border czar Kamala Harris visits Houston weeks after Jocelyn Nungaray allegedly murdered by illegal immigrants

Harris' visit notably did not include a visit to Nungaray's grieving parents who, since her death, have pleaded for a "safer country" and called for heightened border security to prevent other families from suffering the same fate.
"We have to stop burying our kids," Jocelyn's mother, Alexis Nungaray, said tearfully on "Hannity." "This isn’t right. We have to have more reinforcement when it comes to letting people in. This is not OK."

2024 Paris Olympics: A Demonic Introduction to the Games

Hello folks. You know me already. I am a pro-environment, pro-life centrist who is tired of the stuff from the far-left and far-right, tired of my favorite TV franchises getting ruined with LGTV propaganda, and who wants to protect others from harm. My favorite pro-environment Catholic politician, Peter Sonski, would probably not approve of this nonsense. When I was a young teen in the early-mid 2010s, none of this garbage was on television on the scale that it is now. Glad I skipped the Olympics this year. Take me back to 2016, bro. Whew, rant over. As a bi Christian guy, this reinforces my stance that I'd rather be with a woman, or remain celibate for the rest of my life.

In order to keep this post relevant to both sides, I will present a leftist, centerist, conservative, and Christian perspective, to appease all sides.

The Scene is below
1722137574478.png

Quote from Reuters: "[The scene] recreated the famous biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his twelve apostles sharing a last meal before crucifixion, but with a group of dr*g queens, a tr*nsgender model and a n*ked singer made up as the Greek god of wine Dionysus."

Quote from Catholic News Agency: "One of the best known prelates of the Catholic Church in the United States, Bishop Robert Barron of Minnesota, called on Catholics to 'make their voices heard' in response to what he called 'the gross mockery of the Last Supper.' In a post on X, Barron said the blasphemous act was emblematic of a 'deeply secularist postmodern society' that identifies Christianity as its enemy. Meanwhile, in reparation for the blasphemy, Bishop Donald Hying of Madison, Wisconsin, immediately called on all Catholics to 'fast and pray, renew our devotion to the Eucharist, the Sacred Heart and the Virgin Mary.'"

Quote from NYP: "Controversial Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker slammed the apparent 2024 Paris Olympics’ drag queen recreation of the 'Last Supper' as “crazy” — as French religious officials denounced the performance as a 'mockery' of Christianity."

Quote from NBC: "For many minority French communities who feel alienated over tensions arising from divisive politics and scars from the anti-gay marriage protests a decade ago, drag is a statement of defiance."

The Great Olympic Rainbow Delusion

The Great Olympic Rainbow Delusion. (by Tom Maccabeus )

At the start of the 2024 Olympics an estimated 1.5 billion people watched and celebrated the dazzling modern version of the ancient Greek tradition. Some labeled it the “gayest Olympics ever” which even included a bisexual androgynous threesome. But the focal point was a blasphemous portrayal of Jesus and the disciples, a drag queen recreation of the ' “Last Supper”. At the center, instead of Christ, was a woman (?) wearing a crown .


LastSupBl.png


If this wasn't enough of an outrage, there was one who is said to have “stolen the show”. It was a nude portrayal of the ancient Greek god Dionysus (son of god), the god of lawlessness, of every sexual defilement and self- indulgence, the ultimate colorful pervert.

DionyOlympic.png

Paris Olympics, July 26,2024(@OlympicsParis/X)

He more so than any other ancient (demonic) “deity”, represents the spirit of antichrist. As was shown in the book The Last Days Pride Parade, he not coincidentally was also the god that the ancient archetype of the Antichrist forced upon the Jews to worship in 168 B.C.. This occurred at the time of the ancient “abomination of desolation”, a major foreshadowing of the future return of Christ.

1.5 billion people watched this mesmerizing celebration said to be about human freedom and progress. Christ and his sacrifice were mocked as the god of lawlessness was exalted. This is but another sign, a harbinger, of the coming Rainbow Antichrist.
But, the return of the Lord is near.

Catholics, others respond to mockery of Last Supper at Paris Olympics

A drag queen-led parody of the Last Supper featured during Friday’s opening ceremonies of the 2024 Paris Olympics has sparked a wave of incensed reactions and denunciations.

In a statement released Saturday, the French Bishops’ Conference criticized the “scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity, which we deeply deplore.”

“We thank the members of other religious denominations who have expressed their solidarity. This morning, we think of all Christians on all continents who have been hurt by the outrage and provocation of certain scenes,” the French bishops said.

One of the best known prelates of the Catholic Church in the United States, Bishop Robert Barron of Minnesota, called on Catholics to “make their voices heard” in response to what he called “the gross mockery of the Last Supper.”

In a post on X, Barron said the blasphemous act was emblematic of a “deeply secularist postmodern society” that identifies Christianity as its enemy.

Meanwhile, in reparation for the blasphemy, Bishop Donald Hying of Madison, Wisconsin, immediately called on all Catholics to “fast and pray, renew our devotion to the Eucharist, the Sacred Heart and the Virgin Mary.”

Extreme Offense at Paris Olympics

I have a relative, who was a member of the United Methodist Church and perhaps still is, who is in tears and actually had to taking take anti-nausea medication due to a display that the UMC engaged in pertaining to the Last Supper at the Paris Olympics. I don’t have any details yet, but I gather that the UMC did something very unpleasant given how upset my relative is.

The relative in question is a tolerant and open-minded person, so for her to be so upset convinces me that whatever this was, it is the sort of thing that I greatly dislike.

Edit: the relative is unable to find the connection in the initial article involving her denomination, which had her so upset, but nonetheless I think this is an important issue which is so upsetting to Christians it has them making such an error.

The Church started in the wilderness

Truth oftentimes, to many seems stranger then fiction. Such is the case when it comes, to the observance of God’s 7th Day Sabbath. Each Sunday millions of people attend church services for the purpose of worshiping the Lord. Most not realizing they can’t read one time in the Holy Bible to attend church on the first day of the week Sunday. This is second nature to most requiring no thought. They are simply following the tradition that has been set forth by man. Many believe that New Testament Christians worshiped on Sunday the 1st day of the week, and that the 7th day Sabbath is a Jewish institution, which started with Moses.

We understand that Peter said in 2Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Peter is letting us know that prophecy, from Genesis to Malachi is more surer then the New Testament. Let see how Paul word it in Ephesians 2: 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

So is Paul telling the Gentiles how important the old testament is, and how they have the same laws as Israel do. In the scriptures it's written in Isaiah 8: 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Now any Christian in their right mind wouldn’t dare say that it’s okay to steal, kill or commit adultery or break any of the other seven commandments. But when it comes to the fourth commandment, people avoid it like a plague! They are either uninformed about which day is the Sabbath day of the God of the Bible or they are just following the tradition of religion that was passed down through the family or maybe they have let some preacher give them other excuses for ignoring God’s true day of worship.

The Sabbath Day of the Lord -God of the Bible. (Gen.2:2-5) (v.2) And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. (v.3) And God blessed the seventh day (every seventh day of the week is a blessed and holy day) and sanctified it (it is a day that is separated (sanctified) for a purpose) because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. (v.5) “and there was not a man to till the ground.” There was not a Jew, Catholic, Baptist, or Seventh Day Adventist; in fact, there was not a Christian when He constituted the Sabbath Day!

Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3, 10-14) 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

He is the one who rested on the Sabbath day and commanded that you do the same. If you really understood the scriptures you would realize that He was the one who became known as Jesus who gave you the Ten Commandments. So not only did He command you to cease from your work on that day He also commanded you to. (Lev.23:3) “Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation;” He said on the Sabbath day that you should also have an holy convocation, which means holy gathering or simply put, go to church. Remember in Acts 7: 38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

Hello. New to Christianity.

Hello.

I am new to Christianity. I love Jesus and God. I believe in Jesus and God.

I want to get baptized at some point. And perhaps become a Christian monk for a few months at some point in the coming years.

So far, I know just a little bit of Christianity. I will be studying from today on. I want to go deep into Christianity, especially for the purpose of Salvation.

Question: if I want to be just a Christian and not belong to any particular denomination (be it Orthodox Christian or Catholic Christian or Protestant), what would I be then called: a "Non-denominational Christian" or a "Pan-Christian" or an "Eclectic Christian"??? I want to be into most branches of Christianity and not just one. But the primary branch may be the Roman Catholic Church for me. I may get baptized there and be a Catholic monk. But I need things from the rest of Christianity. As well. I may be in Methodism as well. Can't tell you now. Don't know enough as of yet.

Thank you. God bless.

Should Parents Vote on Behalf of Their Kids? J.D. Vance Isn’t the Only One Who Thinks So

The Republican vice-presidential candidate has come under fire for his views on ‘parental voting,’ but the idea isn’t new and isn’t necessarily partisan.

Sen. J.D. Vance has been under fire this week after the GOP vice-presidential nominee’s three-year-old comments about the “childless left” and promoting family formation resurfaced in the media.

Among the most controversial? The claim that parents should be able to vote on behalf of their underage kids.

“Let’s give votes to all children in this country, but let’s give control over those votes to the parents of those children,” said Vance in a 2021 talk hosted by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. “When you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power. You should have more of an ability to speak your voice in our democratic republic than people who don’t have kids.”

At the time, Vance described his proposal as an attempt to overcome a “structural democratic disadvantage” to pursuing pro-family policies in America.

But media reactions have framed the proposal as an attempt to disenfranchise childless people. Some have criticized Vance for saying that those without kids are relatively less committed to the country’s future.

“This is such a heinous notion that it’s hard to believe a politician would even think this to himself, let alone say it out loud,” said BuzzFeed’s Morgan Sloss, who describes herself as “intentionally childfree.”


Continued below.

But what does he mean?

Trump tells supporters they won’t have to vote in the future: ‘It’ll be fixed!’

I tend to just understand what people mean directly by the words they choose making sure to consider tone and body language and stuff.

But it seems through Trumps first term, my ability to comprehend English words (coming from him) took a hit. From everyone else in my life and my students, other teachers, and all other english speakers, they said I was OK. But Trump supporters kept insisting I was not understanding the English that Trump was speaking.


But what is it Trump means when he says this? I need some Trump translators.

Scurrilous Lie Fact Checked: Vance edition

I am referring to the nasty, vulgar story spread on X and other platforms that JD Vance had....relations with his couch. Specific page numbers from his book were given as a source citation, but when checked, nothing of the kind was there.

These kinds of lies, while titillating, should not be promulgated when actual truths should be sufficient to discourage voting for him.
