'The Antichrist takes over by talking about Armageddon,' Thiel said in pre-election interview

In a newly-resurfaced interview, Silicon Valley entrepreneur and longtime ally of President Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, said he believes biblical concepts like the Antichrist and Armageddon stem from the potential of catastrophic technologies that could lead to a totalitarian one-world government.

Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal and the first outside investor in Facebook, stated in an October 2024 interview with Stanford University’s think-tank, the Hoover Institution, that the Antichrist figure from the book of Revelation could emerge by exploiting fears of apocalyptic destruction and offering a solution through global governance. He told “Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson” this figure or system would present itself as a savior, promising "peace and safety" in a world of extreme stakes.

Pointing to 1 Thessalonians 5:3, Thiel, 57, said his “speculative thesis is that if the Antichrist were to come to power, it would be by talking about Armageddon all the time.” He added, “The slogan of the Antichrist is peace and safety, which is nothing wrong with peace and safety. But you have to sort of imagine that it resonates very differently in a world where the stakes are so absolute, where the stakes are so extreme, where the alternative to peace and safety is Armageddon and the destruction of all things."

But why? Perhaps because destroying government from the inside is the go-to tactic this time.





Maybe why:

Fire the Inspector Generals who have a grasp on the department inner workings they police, and have some kid with no knowledge what so ever create some error prone code and kill contracts and fire Veterans.
These actions are behind the acclaimed 2Trillion, 1Trillion, 160B minus the cost of firing 135B = 25B savings.
They literally should start a agency to cover the cost of all the lawsuits by people wrongfully terminated.
They should call it Department Of Lawless Termination (DOLT).

The Netanayahu cabinet is distributing weapons to criminal gangs operating in the Gaza strip as to counter Hamas. The gang is even possibly related to terrorist group IS. So the current Isreali government has step even lower than it was.
Is that the type of ally the USA wants? One that arms former enemy IS?

Lieberman, who heads the Yisrael Beiteinu party, had told the public broadcaster, Kan, that Netanyahu had unilaterally approved the transfer of weapons to the Abu Shabab clan.

"The Israeli government is giving weapons to a group of criminals and felons, identified with the Islamic State group," Lieberman said.

Israel has been arming a criminal gang in the Gaza Strip as part of an effort to strengthen opposition to Hamas in the enclave, defense sources confirmed on Thursday following remarks on the matter by former defense minister Avigdor Liberman.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later confirmed the report, saying the move helped save Israeli soldiers’ lives.
Liberman, who heads the opposition Yisrael Beytenu party, told the Kan public broadcaster on Thursday morning that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had unilaterally approved the transfer of weapons to the Abu Shabab clan, an armed gang or militia that is opposed to Hamas’s rule in the Gaza Strip.


“The Israeli government is giving weapons to a group of criminals and felons, identified with Islamic State, at the direction of the prime minister,” Liberman charged. “To my knowledge, this did not go through approval by the cabinet.”
He claimed that Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar was aware of the decision to arm the group, “but I don’t know how much the IDF chief of staff was in on it.”

That the world might grow in compassion
Let us pray that each one of us might find consolation in a personal relationship with Jesus, and from his Heart, learn to have compassion on the world.



Given that Our Lord said a house divided against itself cannot stand, and Satan does not cast out Satan, what are your best arguments against the Catholic Church? What basis would you use to call the Catholic Church evil, assuming that you do so?

I only want to reach understanding and am not here to insult you or lord myself over you, I only want to know

To my Catholic and Orthodox brethren, I ask that you merely listen. If you wish to post in this thread, please message me directly before you do. This thread is to allow the case to be made and their evidence presented. We can evaluate it when fully heard

Hi again, I know of someone that used to come to my church that had a strong healing gift, if you have an illness she can lay her hands on you and take it, but then she gets it herself! However after a few days it leaves her and both are healed! She does this with her kids, she takes the illness and then she gets it!

I just found something on Amazon, these are global walkie-talkies, they are walkie-talkies but have global range, they use satellite phone technology and you can talk between any locations in the entire world, these are only about $200 for 2 of them. These would be just the ticket for missionaries in extreme remote areas such as the amazon rainforest or african bush! Link is below if you want to have a look:

It looks like many people believe Yahovah God is not a just god and sends people to Hell. Hell is a much misunderstood concept, but that is not for this thread. If there is justice in Eternity, then there must be punishment for crimes committed and it follows that obedient people will be blessed for following the commands Yehovah and Yashua have had recorded for us to live by. But God sends no one into the Lake of Fire (Eternal Torment). Yashua will be the Judge, being Perfect and a Just Judge, He will honor your choice and will not violate His Holy Instructions He has left for us to live by or to reject, and by doing so, choose to spend Eternity separated from Heaven and God. It is your choice!

Report alleges Trump, supporters want to make America an 'explicitly Christian realm governed by divinely-inspired law

An offshoot group linked to the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) released a new report this week that links common Christian phrases like “prayer warrior” and “divinely appointed” to Christian nationalism.

The “Faith as a Weapon: Inside America’s Theocratic Vanguard” report from the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) examines the rise of Christian nationalism, the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), and Catholic integralism as interconnected movements reshaping American politics by merging religious zeal with political power. Linking various politicians and Christian leaders with the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, and the dominionist NAR theology, the report alleges such leaders are advocating for governance based on their interpretation of God’s law, and thereby pose a threat to constitutional religious freedom.

With a dramatic header image of a Christian cross planted in scorched and burning earth flanked by the American flag, “Faith as a Weapon” takes aim at Project 2025 and key figures like Russell Vought, Leonard Leo, and Paula White-Cain, whose influence on the Trump administration, the report states, results in “elevating particular religious perspectives while marginalizing others, including religious minorities, a large number of Christians, and secular Americans.”

Hi everyone, something interesting- I know of 2 people at my church that have a very strong spiritual gift, apparently it has a name, it is called "sight" or "spirit vision". Both of these people see auras around people, they can tell if you are sick by your aura. IE if you have a blue glow around you that means something. Both of these people see the exact same thing without communicating with eachother! There may be even more believers out there that have this gift, someone at my other church may have it as well. Is there anyone on this forum that has this gift or knows someone else that does?

# 1 OF THE DOCTRINE / DIDACHE , in the GENTIVE CASE , in the SINGULAR

# 2 OF BAPTISIMS / BAPISMA , in the Gentive Case , in the Plural

# 3 AND / TE , is a Disjuncative Particle

# 4 OF LAYING ON / EPITESIS , in tne Genitive Case , in te Signular

# 5 OF HANDS / CHEIR , in the Genitive Case , in the Plural

# 6 AND / TE , is a Particle Disjuncative

# 7 OF RESSURECTION / ANASTASIS , in the GENITIVE CASE , in the Singular

# 8 OF THE DEAD / NEKROS , in the GENITIVE CASE , in the Singular

# 9 AND / KAI , is a Conjuncation

# 10 JUDGMENT / KRIMA , in the Genitive Case , in the NEUTER in the Singular

So if the Hebrews are to go on to perfection , then BAPTISMS also have to GO !!

What say you ??

Musk says Trump is named in the Epstein files and that's why they haven't been released.
Trump responded by threatening to cancel Musk's government contracts.
This love affair is over

For some reason, the following story does not warm my heart, either ideally or politically. In fact, I see it as an oxymoron, or set of oxymorons.

According to the BBC:

"A brand new statue of the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin has been unveiled at a Metro station in Moscow. Meanwhile, an adviser to Russia’s President Putin recently argued that the Soviet Union in fact still exists, because of a procedural error in the process of dissolving it. More than three years on from Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the BBC’s Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg considers how Russia is trying to reshape its past to justify the present."

Today's post:



We're winning so much, I'm sick of winning!

In an explosive allegation, Elon Musk — amid a real-time escalating feud Thursday with President Trump — claimed that Trump is “in the Epstein files.”

Musk, in a post on his X social media platform, wrote, “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”

• That's before tariffs on China were reduced from 145% to 30%, and before the boomerang court decisions that invalidated the tariffs before temporarily reinstating them.
• 90% of manufacturers, and three-quarters of service firms, said they import some goods, and are exposed to higher tariffs.

• About half of companies reported a decrease in their bottom line due to tariffs. Some have reduced headcount.
• "A significant share" said they raised prices of goods and services unaffected by tariffs — a way to spread higher costs across inventory, or to take advantage of their customers' expectations that prices are rising --AXIOS

Keep in mind this is the same thing that actually happened the first Trump trade war.
Businesses, and yes those non tariff made in America businesses will not forgo an opportunity to raise prices in a tariff environment.

Usually anger, frustration, and disappointment can be attributed to a conflict between expectations and reality. There can be an amplification of an emotional response if one has made a significant investment in an expectation.

The intensity of reaction to the bill in congress that ignores most of the recommendations Musk made would seem understandable. Musk lost a large amount of money, and reputation trying to help the country. That this opportunity would be squandered should not have been a surprise. Consider the 1994 Republican surge. This also was squandered.

If Musk had been a Christian, he might have understood enough about human nature not to have such expectations that the theft that has been allowed would be stopped. If anyone knows him, they might recommend him to this 19 minute video tract about Christianity that would explain why humans do things that are wrong and what the real solution is.
