A former Green Bay pastor was sentenced Monday to 15 years in prison for engaging in an inappropriate online sexual relationship with a minor in Venezuela.

Herthel said he met the child begging on the streets during a mission trip to Ecuador.

I'm a young adult. I have no diploma, skills or anything. With undiagnosed ADHD. I have no interest in anything. Literally. Or learning anything. I don't even have a diploma. I cant cook, drive, have hardly any interest in a series cause I dont feel like catching up with others and I burn out very easily. The fact I dont have a diploma and lack basic knowledge in most things dashes away my dreams of getting into any college to be able to obtain a skill and move to a few countries I desire to work and live there, especially since my parents are uncaring, evil and neglectful and unschooled all of us.

If I dont have an interest in anything, its very hard for me to learn it and focus on it. I even automatically end up forgetting what I learned. I cant do basic math at all and have to constantly re-read anything in general knowledge. I grew up most of my life never learning what most school students do throughout decades of theirs and now I feel completely terrible and hoping theres a way out of this without having to go through all those years and struggles and while people have said I may not have to, I fear that they may be wrong. Especially with how much my brain refuses to even touch those subjects. I feel like my life is over. All I want is to be able to get into a college without having to suffer, land a job, move to my desired country, and live happily. I'm already aware of the hardships. The amount of people who struggle the same way I do, and who also have been schooled and feel as dumb as I do give me hope. I realize that if my grandparents die, I am completely on my own and out of luck and might end up dying as well due to not being able to support myself.

Mike Johnson says that they are blurring the faces of the J6 rioters so that they avoid prosecution. Well I have a few questions:

1) How many of these people have not yet been caught or charged?

2) If that footage has been integral to the prosecution of crimes, couldn't you assume it could continue to be used as evidence?

3) If it can still be used as evidence, then wouldn't the face blurring be "obstruction of justice"?

Initially I thought maybe when he said "keep them safe from retaliation" he meant some left wing strike force....but then....he made a point of mentioning the DOJ.

So...do I understand that he is trying to protect potential criminals by blurring faces so that the DOJ could not charge them? Cause that seems so totally messed: If that is occurring, wouldn't that be obstruction of justice?

BUT, I'm willing to accept that my source is...not super contextualized. Can someone shed some light? Explain it to me like I'm a Canadian......

Hello. Ever since I started to take seriously my walk with God I've been wondering if masturbation is a sin or not. I have to be honest, I once was addicted. I used to do it even if I didn't feel the urge, sometimes I couldn't focus on studying, I'd stay awake till late night. I got addicted to porn too. I was sure it was ok, I used to be controlled by lust. But then God convinced me and I decided to let go and it has been easier than I thought, he gave me so much strength. I remember that I didn't even care about waiting until marriage. He changed my mind about this too and I'm so happy with this choice! Let's go back to masturbation again. I rarely feel the urge now; I still do sometimes tho, and with "sometimes" I mean once a month and a half/two months. I gave up on porn and anything erotic that I used to read or listen to, thanks to God. The urge that I feel isn't because I thought about something sexual by the way, I thought I had to make it clear since some people say that it's something we shouldn't think of (and I agree). I'm trying my best to live according to God's word. Would it still be a sin? I really don't want God to give up on me and to be disappointed because of this. I'm a 16 year old girl and I obviously can't get married. I tried to look for answers everywhere but it only confused me more because it was a different answer everytime.

Stunning images show Arizona border crossing overrun by massive surge of adult male migrants from across globe.
The Tucson Sector saw over 17,000 encounters in a week, a new record.


A remote Arizona border crossing is being overrun by a massive surge of mainly adult male migrants from across the globe, including countries in Africa and the Middle East -- just as the state's Tucson Sector has seen record numbers of crossings in recent days.

Fox News was on the ground in Lukeville, Arizona, where Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have been forced to close the local port of entry due to the surge in illegal entries. Fox footage showed that, as of Tuesday morning, hundreds of single military-age men camped out against the border wall waiting to be processed into the U.S, and not a single woman or child among them.

Of those camped out, there were a large number of Africans from countries Senegal, Guinea, Mauritania, Egypt and elsewhere waiting to be processed and potentially released into the U.S. Others were from the Middle East and Asia.
One man told Fox that he paid $10,000 to a smuggler to travel from Mauritania via Colombia, while a man from Guinea said he was planning to head to New York City if he was released into the U.S.

The Tucson Sector saw nearly 3,000 encounters in a single day and has seen 17,500 encounters in a single week, the highest weekly total ever recorded.

Meanwhile, Fox cameras caught a moment when migrants exploited gaps in the border wall -- which were being repaired by federal contractors -- and rushed through the gap and into the United States before it could be fixed.

The situation has sparked outrage from local lawmakers. Rep. Juan Ciscomani , R-Ariz., last week called for the deployment of the Arizona National Guard to the border, urging Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to recommend such action to the Pentagon.

"Tucson Sector is leading in encounters and our agents and officers are overrun and undermanned," Ciscomani says in a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. "The situation is far past a breaking point and those on the frontlines of this crisis are in need of immediate support."
CBP has been surging resources and personnel to the Tucson Sector -- which typically sees less traffic than other sectors like the Rio Grande Valley-- and has been focusing on transporting migrants laterally to other parts of the border combined with a greater use of expedited removal as an alternative to them being released into the U.S.

The Biden administration has promised to increase the use of the expedited removal authority -- and has requested resources to do so as part of its $14 billion supplemental request to Congress for border operations, including staffing and non-custodial housing. Negotiations are ongoing in Congress over that supplemental, with Republicans wanting to see stricter asylum standards and limits on the administration’s use of humanitarian parole. However, some Senate Democrats have said that they would only agree to such policy changes if they were tied to an amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S.
The Biden administration has said it is dealing with a Hemisphere-wide crisis and needs Congress to act to provide more funding for the border processes, while since 2021 it has been calling on Republicans to support a comprehensive immigration bill it unveiled on day one of the administration. That too would include a sweeping amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.

Republicans have rejected that legislation, and instead introduced a bill of their own which would increase border security funding while increasing limits on asylum and the use of humanitarian parole. Republicans have blamed the ongoing crisis on the policies of the administration -- including its rollback of Trump-era policies.

Similarly, the Border Patrol union has repeatedly blamed the administration, putting the surge in Lukeville down to an "open invitation" by the Biden administration.

"It takes a toll on the men and women [of Border Patrol] that are out there putting their lives on the line each and every day," The National Border Patrol Council's Art Del Cueto told Fox News.

But whatever the cause, the border remains in a historic crisis with records being broken at every turn. There were more than 2.4 million migrant encounters in FY 23, a new record. September saw a record for encounters at the southern border, while October saw a record for encounters in October -- with more than 240,000 encounters border-wide.

I realize the FBI already has all the videos, but for all those internet sleuths who have been hunting down those in participated in criminal acts, it's clear Johnson's goal is protection.

Amos 9:

11“In that day I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen and repair its breaches, and raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old, 12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” declares the LORD who does this.

What was the remnant of Edom?

Well, LXX differed. Brenton Septuagint Translation:

that the remnant of men, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called, may earnestly seek me, saith the Lord who does all these things.

The Hebrew spellings for adam and edom differ by a tiny letter. LXX decided to read it as adam, meaning men.

James alluded to the LXX reading in (BSB) Acts 15:

17 so that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does these things.

For the past 11 years or so, my life has been defined by mental deficiencies and disorders of various kinds. Today, I woke up to the realization that, while I still have a lot of problems, mental illness is no longer one of them. I seem to have arrived back at the point where all I have are ordinary adult problems, and now I am an adult who is capable of dealing with them.

The Lord has guided me well on my journey, and it is good to live inside of a mind that is under control, rather than the disordered and depressed and afflicted mind of the past that kept working against itself.

In James it says not everyone should be teachers because teachers would be judged stricter what is the difference in the standards for a teacher?

Officers were called to the home in Arlington, Virginia, at 16:45 EST (21:45 GMT) on Monday after reports of someone firing a flare gun.

When they tried to enter, there were shots fired then a big explosion.

Officers on the scene reported only minor injuries while the suspect inside the home is unaccounted for.

The incident started when the suspect fired a flare gun between 30 to 40 times, Arlington police said, which did not cause any injuries or property damage.

Hey, fantastic news! There is a ministry in my hometown (Harrisburg, PA) called JHOP, Justice House of Prayer. They have just recently secured a building in town and have been having meetings every Sunday night at 6pm and are getting ready to launch the night watch by New Years Eve and will then transition to 24/7 prayer and worship in the city of Harrisburg! Having 24/7 prayer and worship in my hometown is a major victory, this may change the atmosphere in the city and may also change the city of Harrisburg forever! The building is only 1 mile from my apartment so I may be down there every night, I will love this! If you wouldn't mind agree with me in prayer for JHOP!

Lord God we lift up JHOP, Justice House of Prayer to You and pray that Your hand of blessing would be upon them as they roll out 24/7 prayer and ministry in Harrisburg. We pray that worship would go forth from the JHOP building and it would shift the atmosphere in Harrisburg and would change the city forever! We pray for wisdom for the leadership and that the launch of the night watch and 24/7 ministry would go smoothly with no problems, we also pray for supernatural provision for JHOP for all of their needs! We pray for the salvation of the people of Harrisburg!

We read about Martha and Mary also in Luke 10:38-42. Martha was serving then, too, and Mary was sitting at the Lord’s feet listening to his teaching. Martha was concerned that Mary was not helping her serve, and so Jesus responded, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

And in today’s lesson Mary is found anointing the feet of Jesus with expensive ointment and wiping his feet with her hair. So she is again at Jesus’ feet (not sure the historical order of these two stories). And Jesus defended the honor of Mary once again, only this time against Judas Iscariot’s rebuke of her, which stemmed from his selfish motives. And Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my burial. For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.”

Now when we are serving the Lord Jesus with our lives, in answering his call upon our lives, we are always going to have people who think we should be doing something different from what we are doing, for they may not see the importance of the ministry God has given us, and they may minimize it because it doesn’t fit in with traditional standards created in the minds of human beings who have locked themselves into religious rituals and practices that they think are of God, when they may not be.

For what is commonly being referred to as “the church” these days is mostly not the biblical church, the body of Christ throughout the entire world. Mostly these gatherings of what are called “church” are institutions of man, created in the minds of human beings, being operated according to worldly or human standards under the headship of church denominations and incorporated under the state (the government). So they are not of God.

And it appears that most of them have gone the way of the world and they are marketing their “churches” to the world with worldly means and methods, and so the majority, it appears, have also altered the divine character of God/Christ, and of his church, and of his gospel message to make them more acceptable and appealing to the ungodly and to human flesh. So, biblically, these gatherings are not the church, the body of Christ.

So, what is the church? It is the collective body of Christ throughout the entire world comprised of all who believe in Jesus Christ with God-given and God-ordained and God-persuaded faith in Jesus Christ which results in the forsaking of our sins and us following our Lord Jesus in obedience to his commands, in practice. All those who make professions of faith in Jesus Christ but have not and are not dying to sin and living to righteousness in walks of obedience to Christ are not the biblical body of Christ, the church.

And a specific location is not a necessity in the gatherings of our Lord’s true church, his body. Remember what he told the woman at the well?


So, the focus is on true worship of God, not the location, and not the day of the week or the time of day. And true worship of God is not going through a bunch of religious practices and rituals instituted of man which do not coincide with God’s biblical purpose for his church. So, why am I going off on this subject of church? Because the same thing that was done to Mary by her sister Martha and by Judas Iscariot (different things with different motives) is being done today by “church” people.

It really doesn’t matter to most of them, it would seem, if you are sitting at Jesus’ feet daily, sinking in the truths of his word, and then living them out in your daily life in doing what the Scriptures teach that we all should be doing with our lives, if you are not sitting in a chair or a pew in one of their “institutional market-driven churches” on a Sunday morning going through their religious rituals, singing their songs, and listening to their preacher. Do you see where I am going with this? I hope you do!

Jesus is all about having followers of him who will serve him with their lives wholeheartedly, who will sit at his feet daily, drink in his word, and do what he says, and who will do the work of the ministry to which he has called them. He is looking for people like Mary who will be brave enough to stand out as different and to serve the Lord in the way in which he wants them to serve him, even if they are ridiculed by others who think they should be someplace else doing something else other than what they are doing. For it is Jesus we serve, not human beings.

So, please understand that sitting in a pew in a building called “church” on a Sunday morning as a spectator is not serving Jesus Christ with your life, and it is not what the gatherings of the church are to be all about. You know that Scripture “they” love to use against us who do not attend these institutions of man? It says that we are to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, but encouraging one another. And in another passage it says we are to exhort one another daily so none of us are hardened by sin’s deceitfulness (Hebrews 10:24-25; Hebrews 3:13).

When we gather together it is so we can encourage and exhort and minister to one another to help one another to grow to maturity in our walks of faith and obedience to our Lord. So this is what is pleasing to the Lord, not “church” attendance on a Sunday morning. We are all to be sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ (the true gospel) and spiritually encouraging and exhorting and stirring up one another to faithful walks of obedience to the Lord. And if this is what we are doing, God is pleased, for we have chosen “the good portion.” So don’t let the opinions of others discourage you.

Jesus, Hold My Hand

By Albert E. Brumley

As I travel through this pilgrim land
There is a friend who walks with me
Leads me safely through the sinking sand
It is the Christ at Calvary
This would be my prayer, dear Lord, each day
You help me do the best I can
For I need Thy light to guide me day and night
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand

When I wander thru the valley dim
toward the setting of the sun,
Lead me safely to a land of rest
if I a crown of life have won;
I have put my faith in Thee, dear Lord,
that I may reach the golden strand,
There's no other Friend on whom I can depend,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

Jesus, hold my hand
'Cause I need Thee every hour
Through this pilgrim land
Protect me by Thy power
Hear my feeble plea
And O Lord look down on me
When I kneel in prayer
I hope to meet You there
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand

The Israeli/Palestine conflict...

The Israeli/Palestine conflict is a tragedy, as is all war, etc. But while this remains strictly an Israeli/Palestine conflict, the US cannot get involved, or intervene, etc. But say, if other surrounding nations were to get directly involved, then the US would have to intervene, but it would be because we had to, and not because we wanted to, etc. And at that point we would unleash all the hell that the American military could muster upon those nations at that point, and as brutally as we would have to at that point, etc. This, in order to protect everyone else, and the whole world, etc, and for the most minimal loss of life in the long term, or in the end, etc, which is where the US thinks something like that would eventually go, and so it is a preventive measure, etc.

All war is a tragedy, no one and nothing ever profits from it, etc. Well, almost no one or nothing, as there are some who do learn how to make a profit and/or gain from it, etc. And I think those people are absolutely despicable, but they still do exist nonetheless, and exist, just about everywhere, etc. But almost everyone and everything else always loses in war, etc, but yet, it also, still does exist, etc. And no one and nothing has ever been able to completely do away with it yet, etc, and so it is still a very real reality in our world right now currently, etc, and that is a most unfortunate tragedy, etc.

America must look to its own right now while this conflict is still limited to Israel and Palestine, etc, and so they both, are pretty much on their own right now unless other countries get directly involved, etc. We can offer things like prayer, and some medical aid/support maybe, and maybe to both sides maybe, but while this remains a strictly Palestine/Israeli conflict only, we cannot get much involved beyond that point right now, and nor can we make absolute judgments about either side, etc.

These two represent two sides, very much like in our own nation right now, etc, and I think that's why many are so divided about it, etc. These two are neighbors, and have been for a while, etc. And whenever or wherever one side prospers and is rich, and is always living at relative ease, and in the relative lap of luxury, and the other is not, but it's just the opposite, etc, there are always going to be problems, etc, and that other side will always eventually, always eventually and inevitably rebel always, etc, even killing or murdering innocents, or resorting to guerrilla warfare, or dare I say even to committing some acts of terrorism eventually, when that side gets desperate enough to deem it necessary eventually, etc.

Who's wrong/who's right, and who is to blame? I suppose everyone is, etc. For it is all our own corrupt human nature's that right now always get's us into these messes always, etc, and that has always eventually and inevitably always happened, all throughout our history, etc.

Can anyone fix it, or change it, or ever put an end to it? Well, I am a Christian, etc. And my Christian beliefs tell me that cannot ever happen until the second coming of Jesus, or when Jesus comes back, etc. Until then, we are all stuck with the way we all are right now currently, etc. Which always leads to death, and war, and suffering, and conflict, and destruction eventually, etc.

Anyway, thanks for listening to me go on about this.

God Bless.

And while this remains a Israeli/Palestine conflict only, and if it stays that way, etc, then we must let these peoples/nations do as they wish, and accept the eventual outcome either way, etc, for that is a part of non-interference, etc.

Sometimes the most difficult thing to do, is to not interfere, or not get in the way, etc, and I know this from very much first-hand experience, etc, especially in a war, or a conflict, etc.

God Bless.

Global Correlates of Cardiovascular Risk: A Comparison of 158 Countries.​

The study is from 2018, but I discovered it today.

The aim of this study was a large-scale ecological analysis of nutritional and other environmental factors potentially associated with the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in the global context. Indicators of CVDs from 158 countries were compared with the statistics of mean intake (supply) of 60 food items...

...the results always show very similar trends and identify high carbohydrate consumption (mainly in the form of cereals and wheat, in particular) as the dietary factor most consistently associated with the risk of CVDs.

...Other suspect variables are alcohol (mainly in its distilled form) and sunflower oil, but their roles are limited to Europe where their consumption rates are sufficiently high.

...It is true that the connection between CVDs and carbohydrates has not been universally accepted yet, but both epidemiological and mechanistic evidence is growing, and this fundamental problem has attracted wide public attention.

.... More convincing results will be possible when more precise data on CVD prevalence are available. Because self-reported dietary questionnaires from observational studies are increasingly perceived as the dead end of nutritional science, such high-quality data are urgently needed. Results of detailed ecological analyses such as the present one can subsequently constitute a very useful contribution to the recent debate regarding the changing paradigm in cardiology.

If you favor sola scriptura testing of all doctrine and tradition that is presented to you as a proposal for accepting or rejecting... please cast your vote BOTH on the thread at the following link

I am not arguing that all doctrine or that all tradition violates the test of scripture - just that it must be tested.


And of course on this one where this is the OP

See the sola scriptura testing examples in Acts 17:11 and Mark 7:7-13 - and the result is 66 books that both sides accept.

For example notice this post at that thread link above #439 where the sola scriptura method as demonstrated in scripture - is shown to be both approved of by Christ and by the NT authors of Acts.

Despite the commission's animosity toward Christmas, polls show that Canadians of all religions support Christmas being a public holiday.

Having a day off work for Christmas and Easter is evidence of Canada’s ‘colonialist’ history, a publicly funded human rights body has claimed.

The Canadian Human Rights Commission, which is funded by the federal government, said that the public celebration of major Christian festivals is rooted in religious intolerance.

“Discrimination against religious minorities in Canada is grounded in Canada’s history of colonialism,” the group said. “An obvious example is statutory holidays in Canada.”

In a report entitled “Discussion Paper on Religious Intolerance,” the group said that Christmas and Easter are the only statutory holidays linked to religion. “As a result, non-Christians may need to request special accommodations to observe their holy days and other times of the year where their religion requires them to abstain from work.”

“Canada’s history with religious intolerance is deeply rooted in our identity as a settler colonial state,” the report adds.

Hello,

I would like to share something interesting about the Planck length and it's relationship to speed.

The Planck length requires that objects move at the speed of the Planck length/the Planck time. Which means that every thing would move at the same rate. But, we don't see that happening. Objects move at different speeds and so does living beings. The only way around this is if motion is an illusion or happens by objects disappearing and appearing in places.

What does this mean for the Planck length. Does it disprove it? Not necessarily, but it does mean that motion cannot be used as the proof of the Planck length.

A Maricopa County judge has rejected former gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's lawsuit seeking to review ballot return envelopes of about 1.3 million voters.

Superior Court Judge John Hannah's ruling, which was filed Thursday, follows two days of trial on Sept. 21 and 25, during which Maricopa County made its case that Recorder Stephen Richer's office was right to deny Lake access to those envelopes and the signatures on them.

Judge:

"The broad right of electoral participation outweighs the narrow interests of those who would continue to pick at the machinery of democracy," Hannah wrote. He found that voters' privacy interests when it comes to their personal information justified withholding the envelopes, writing that to release the envelopes would "create a significant risk of widespread voter fraud where none now exists. It would expose voters to harassment and potentially force them to defend the integrity of their own votes."

"Ms. Lake regards the electoral process much like the villagers in the famous fable regarded the goose that laid the golden egg, except that her goose failed to lay the egg she expected," Hannah wrote, referencing an Aesop fable. "She insists that something must have gone wrong. If only she could cut open the electoral process and examine each of its 1.3 million pieces, she says, she would be able to figure out what happened and show that the prize has been there waiting for her all along."

In an email to reporters, a spokesperson for Comer claimed that the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating Biden, had obtained bank records revealing that Hunter Biden’s law firm, Owasco PC, which had received payments from Chinese-state-linked companies and other foreign companies in the past, made direct monthly payments to Joe Biden. The email claimed the payments “are part of a pattern revealing Joe Biden knew about, participated in and benefited from his family’s influence-peddling schemes.”

“There is now a pattern of members of the Biden family using their bank accounts that have been funded by Chinese and other foreign entities to send money to Joe Biden,” the spokesperson said. “Based on witness testimony, Joe Biden knew and participated in his family’s influence-peddling schemes. The checks and payments we’ve uncovered reveal Joe Biden benefited from them.”

The three payments of $1,380 that occurred in September, October and November 2018 — nearly two years after Biden had left the vice presidency — were actually for a 2018 Ford Raptor truck Joe Biden had purchased that Hunter Biden was using, according to an email verified by a Washington Post forensic analysis.

Joe Biden signed for the truck and had it in his name — at a time when Hunter was in the depths of addiction, had a low credit score and couldn’t make the purchase himself, according to a person close to the Biden

He said he is becoming more militant about coal plants because he does not “understand how adults who are in positions of responsibility can be avoiding responsibility for taking away those things that are killing people on a daily basis.” John Kerry is a huge waster of energy, flying around the world but many times not using commercial aircraft. One of our elite rulers. Not just the United States, but particularly the United Arab Emirates, have made great strides in greatly reducing pollution caused by fossil fuels and continue to innovate. At this point is is quite possible that EV's replacing combustion powered vehicles will have a greater negative effect on the earth.
