I have learned about the Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Baptists, Lutherans, Reformed, Pentecostals.

What's next is the Anglicans, Episcopalians, and I'm sure there are much more. There are too many for me to study I can get overloaded with information, so I'll try to stick to the largest denominations to study. but right now, I will start with the Anabaptists, then study the Anglicans, Episcopalians later.

Any documentary you recommend, I am interested in the history of the Anabaptists, how they started, and traveled, their beliefs and way of life.

Newsom bets big on Trump’s goodwill to shrink California’s budget hole​

SACRAMENTO, California — Gavin Newsom is making a billion-dollar gamble in his latest budget plan, banking on money from a tax on health insurance carriers to help close a projected deficit.

Let's see shall we:

1. Called Trump a “son (expletive deleted)” — Newsom used this profanity while criticizing Trump’s immigration raids and policy decisions on a podcast.
2. Told Trump he “lives rent-free in [his] head” — A common political taunt implying Trump is obsessed with Newsom.
3. Mocked Trump’s cognitive challenge — After Trump said Newsom couldn’t pass a cognitive test, Newsom responded publicly: “Let’s do it … name your time and place” and used Trump’s own test words in a mocking way.
4. Described Trump’s speech at Davos as “remarkably insignificant” and called Trump’s rhetoric unserious.
5. Criticized world leaders for “rolling over” to Trump — saying it was “pathetic” and even suggesting he should have brought knee pads (“red MAGA kneepads”) as a satirical symbol of groveling.

1. Trolled Trump with over-the-top parody tweets mimicking Trump’s all-caps style and humorous nicknames to mock Trump’s behavior and policies.
   • (Within this broader parody: implied Trump “can’t conquer the big stairs” on Air Force One and other zingers.)

And he thinks Trump will show goodwill towards him and get him out of a jam.

Honest folks - you can't make this up.

Ghislaine Maxwell accused the Department of Justice of failing to investigate nearly 30 of Jeffrey Epstein’s associates.


So can someone please explain to me why we are subpoenaing the Clinton's while Trump and his DOJ are protecting Maxwell and as Trump put it, "his friends will get hurt”?
Or did I answer my own question?

Trump and Republicans supported Kyle Rittenhouse and him bearing arms in a protest, which resulted in him killing two people

Trump and Republicans supported January 6 rioters and their bearing loaded arms in protest while storming down the Capitol building injuring law enforcement authorities.

But now Trump and Republicans are saying you shouldn't bring arms to protest.

A complete opposite change of stance but only when it supports their agenda - their prejudices.

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said police were already assigned to a detail at 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood when they heard a commotion in the building's main entrance around 8:45 p.m.

When they responded, they saw a car strike the rear door, reverse and then strike the door again.

[No one injured, no bombs found, driver arrested]

At a news conference, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani called it a "horrifying incident" and "deeply alarming" and said "antisemitism has no place in our society."

The incident occurred during a Chabad holiday, when thousands of people from around the world were gathered at the headquarters, New York Attorney General Letitia James told reporters.

Hebrews 12
:14 Pursue peace with all and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
When the Spirit speaks of one who will not see the Lord,
does He refer to “in this life, as in the pure of heart”, or
access to the Holy City in eternity?
******************************************************************
:15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God;
lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble,
and by this many become defiled;
It is clearly stated that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”,
but falling short of the Grace of God and allowing a root of bitterness to
not only cause trouble, but defile many is a path to perdition.
1 Corinthians 3:17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him.
For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
Luke 17:1 Then He said to the disciples, It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
********************************************************************
:16 lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.
2 Peter 2:21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness,
than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
*******************************************************************
There is a line that if crossed has no place for repentance.
Taking a path of perdition that destroys the lives of others who would otherwise have
found salvation in not the narrow Way that leads to Life, but one that leads to destruction.
Matthew 7:
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Find the Way to be found.
2 Peter 3:14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things,
be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless.

So I just had a dream and in the dream God used the most beautiful sunset that I had ever seen that I had to show my wife Jeanette in the dream to tell me that my daughter is here. Coincidentally enough 6-8 days after we suspected she ovulated (we suspect either the 21st or the 23rd).God even allowed me to look directly at the sun in the dream it was truly a blessing.

I will know for sure that she's pregnant on the 1st through the 4th maybe the 5th when a pregnancy test confirms it for 100% but ive been getting the feeling that she was going to get pregnant with our daughter Eva this month for a long time now. Anyway, keep us in your prayers we applied for weatherization for our trailer because eva is going to need it it's constantly 58-62 degrees in our trailer and Jeanette and I deal with it but a newborn Infant cannot and ive been praying for God to help me find a way to deal with that situation I'm VERY concerned for Eva.

My parents don't share the same concern and they're the only ones with the money to do it because my sister is just as poor as me and would gladly help me but her and her husband make more than me but she also is trying to take support her two kids. So I'm trying to get the government to pay for it since it's really my only option. I cannot possibly save up $7,000-$10,000 in 9 months it's totally unrealistic my wife doesn't even make 35k a year so yeah totally unrealistic. Anyway, there's just so much preparation involved and I feel overwhelmed and I need some advice. Especially advice on how to raise my daughter Christian and how to keep her in the faith. That would be appreciated.

I became interested in my salvation as a youth and church shopped. I found a church where I got help. I said the sinner's prayer but had not been born again. Then I went for fifty alter calls but was not born again. I wanted a heart full of love and to overcome sin. I stopped going for most alter calls. There had been prophetic words and words of knowledge on being born again. "Reach out and take the Kingdom that comes from above into your heart." "Open your heart." "It is not by power or might but by my Spirit says the Lord. That will open your heart." Then after a preaching by Ps Bruno Knutzen I went forward and he laid hands on me, said "the Holy Spirit is coming into you. There it is", and I fell to my back. Later I surrendered and became meek.

Does anyone else testify on the way they were born again? Benny Hinn teaches you can't be born again with the laying on of hands. I am free to disagree. It may be that there are hundreds of thousands even millions of African and American... believers who have so missed the new birth. It could be a grand follow up mission behind Reinhard Bonnke...

When your political allegiance decides not only your vote but who your friends are, when it makes you cut off those who have a different politics, when it makes you willing to tolerate a moral bankrupt as your candidate and to vote for him or her, when your politics begins to substitute for your theology, when it decides your moral values then is it right to call yourself a Christian?

FBI searches Georgia county election hub in connection with Trump's 2020 election loss​

The FBI told NBC News that it was "conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity" at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, while the FBI's Atlanta field office confirmed the activity and said an "investigation into this matter is ongoing so there are no details that we can provide at the moment."

Speaking last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Donald Trump repeated his false claim that the 2020 election was “rigged” and said that “people will soon be prosecuted for what they did.”

Two Georgia election workers who were smeared by Trump allies — Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss — were harassed and received a torrent of threats after they were falsely accused of participating in a voter fraud scheme. Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who boosted Trump's false election claims, accused the duo of passing USB drives “like vials of heroin or cocaine," when in fact they were passing a ginger mint. The duo were awarded $148 million in damages after a 2023 trial, and Giuliani satisfied the judgment in 2025.

Joel 2:32a …whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord will be saved.
Context – verse 31….before the coming of the great and terrible Day of the Lord. Verse 32b …on Mt Zion and in Jerusalem there will be a remnant as the Lord has promised.

Romans 10:13 Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved. Context: Verse 12 There is no distinction between Jew and Gentile, because the same Lord is Lord of all…. Verse 14; People must first be converted to Christianity and have faith in God.

Acts 2:21 Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord on that day, shall be saved. Context: Verse 19-20 I will show portents in the sky and blood, fire and smoke on the earth, The sun will be darkened and the moon like blood, before that notable Day of the Lord, comes. Verse 22: Men of Israel; [My faithful peoples] hear Me…..

1 Corinthians 1:2 To Gods Church in Corinth, dedicated to Christ Jesus and called to be His peoples, along with all who invoke the Name of our Lord wherever they may be; their Lord as well as ours.

Psalms 116:5-13 Gracious is the Lord and full of compassion. He preserves the simple hearted, when I was in distress, He saved me. My heart is at peace once more, for the Lord has granted me full deliverance. I am rescued from death and I will walk in the Presence of the Lord, in the land of the living. I will take the cup of Salvation and call upon the Lord by Name.

It is when disaster strikes, we are told to call to our Lord and Saviour. When He sends His fiery wrath to destroy His enemies and there will be dramatic things in the sky, terrible earthquakes and extreme heat. Isaiah 43:1-2 is His Promise to those who put their trust in His protection: Have no fear, for I; the Lord, has redeemed you, I will call you by name, you are Mine. When you pass thru water, I will be with you…Walk thru fire and you will not be burned.

What should be patently obvious, is all this has nothing to do with our Salvation, or the glorious Return of King Jesus. It all refers to the next Prophesied event; the Sixth Seal Day of the Lords vengeance and wrath, graphically described in over 100 Prophesies. Just as the sequence in Revelation shows us.

First the great test of our faith, a Day of worldwide disaster which will destroy our modern infrastructure, along with the destruction of all the ungodly peoples in the Holy Land. Then: further testing and the punishment of those who follow the ‘beast’= Satan, in the Great Tribulation of the 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls.

Only those peoples who have proved their faith will go with Jesus into the Millennium.

"Previously England's chief nursing officer, Dame Sarah had started the day as Bishop of London, a post she had held since 2018.

"It is fair to say that I have, both in my secular role, as well as in the Church, experienced misogyny at times," she said.

Though Dame Sarah acknowledged that throughout her ministry she had received support from many men, she said she had also learned that issues of misogyny needed to be "brought into the open", something she would do more."

New Archbishop of Canterbury Dame Sarah Mullally says she will speak out on misogyny

Ezekiel 23 has a lot of shocking sexual language.

Especially 23:20...

Though in the KJV it is pretty tame: (using euphemisms)
"For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses."

The NIRV uses much more clearer language:
"There she had longed for her lovers. Their private parts seemed as big as those of donkeys. And their flow of sperm appeared to be as much as that of horses."

[note these forums seem to be replacing a word with "sperm"]

Anyway I used AI to make songs quoting lyrics like Ezekiel 23 but Steam says "it contains Adult Only Sexual Content". But the NIRV Bible for Kids is aimed at kids and it contains "Complete text of the New International Reader's Version, written at a third-grade reading level just for developing readers".


So what do Christians think about the passage and how suitable it is for children?

Here's the entire chapter from the NIRV translation:


I was surprised that even verse 20 was there but that whole passage goes on for 49 verses.

Though the GNT (Good News Bible) has this for verse 20: (which ignores some of the original meaning)

"She was filled with lust for oversexed men who had all the lustfulness of donkeys or stallions"

It's all about the money. Prove me wrong.

Please let it be at a safe level. Please heal me Dear Jesus. Please help. I love You Dear God and I love You Dear Jesus. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. God bless you for prayers. Carmen.

The man shot and killed by federal agents in Minnesota was also known for his ‘gentleness.’

A Roman Catholic priest who worked with Alex Pretti, the man shot and killed by federal agents in Minnesota, said he was known for his “kindness” and disputed the narrative of top Trump administration officials that he was a violent “domestic terrorist” and would-be assassin.

Pretti, an ICU nurse, was shot while filming federal officers on a Minneapolis street on Jan. 24.

The incident marked the second shooting death by federal agents in the city. Renee Good was shot and killed on Jan. 7 by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

Father Harry Tasto, who worked with Pretti for 10 years when he worked as a chaplain at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis, spoke about the nurse’s life during a Sunday evening Mass at the Basilica of St. Marybroadcasted by WCCO.

Kristi Noem Throws Trump and Miller Under The Bus Claiming 'Everything I've Done' Was Directed By Them: Report​

Kristi Noem faces escalating pressure after reportedly telling aides that every major decision she made at DHS was directed by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller​

I am grateful they are developing the wisdom to realize that upward mobility begins with voting for legislators and leaders who will give you a "hand-up," not a handout, as they climb the economic ladder. Higher minimum wages when you're in college, Pell Grants and student loans to help you finance it, and yes, birth control to help you plan to start your families when you have a little financial stability--all those are hands-up the economic ladder.

Mamdani signals disbanding NYPD protest unit,​

A city that has seen and still sees its fair share of chaos and attacks - the mayor want to disband a group that is highly trained and has proven to be a critical asset.

Glad I am not in NYC

After Pretti, an intensive care unit nurse at a Veterans Affairs hospital, was killed by a federal law enforcement officer in front of multiple eyewitnesses in Minneapolis Jan. 24, the Trump administration was quick to politicize his death.

Vice President JD Vance reposted Stephen Miller, who on X called Pretti an "assassin" who "tried to murder federal agents" — a statement that is not supported by any evidence.

Once again, Vance had the opportunity to call for peace and unity — to lower the temperature of the situation and express empathy with those suffering and mourning. Vance, fresh off a speech at the March for Life, could have leaned into his supposed pro-life beliefs and called for respect for human life at every stage. In fact, that would have been the Catholic response — that's how the bishops themselves responded in their statement.

As a Catholic, Vance could have chosen to share the Gospel message of healing and human dignity. Instead, he chose to offer the MAGA message of division and blame.

"This level of engineered chaos is unique to Minneapolis. It is the direct consequence of far left agitators, working with local authorities," he wrote on Jan. 24.

Vance's comments are once again a moral stain on our collective witness of Catholicism — but they are no longer surprising. Given its scandal, the vice president's cafeteria Catholicism must continue to be repudiated by people of faith.

[Vance is not alone within Catholicism.]

Fr. James Altman, a prominent MAGA priest who is no longer allowed to preach publicly, demanded that "everyone who interferes with Law Enforcement should be crushed in the arrest and thrown in the Gulag. They are criminals and it is time to start treating them as such," while repeating, "NO MORE MERCY."

A Catholic priest online advocating against mercy. Jesus wept.

I've only felt like this a handful of times in my life, but I miss the place of my birth! It's like feeling homesick. I want to take a pilgrimage and go back to it.

I was born on the Space Coast of Florida in a tiny town called Palm Bay. My little sister was born there too.


I haven't been to Palm Bay in over 30 years! I am really starting to miss it; I view it as my real home. And the beaches I grew up playing on when I was a kid... =( And the fishing was incredible too. =D

Have any of you ever felt this way about where you were born?

Where were you all born anyway? Maybe we got some city slickers on here? Lol.

Immigration officers speak out: “Freak this.” (except it's not "freak")


It's apparent experienced ICE agents are not the who are quick to volunteer. It's the, how did one ICE agent put it, those new recruits straight out of Police Academy or Reno 911. That's whose roaming the streets gung-ho to stop brown people who speak with an accent; simply because they can. Not only public assassinations, but you get incidents like this:

ICE Agents Attempt To Enter Ecuadorian Consulate In Minneapolis, Triggering Geopolitical Row ​

ICE has it's place. It has it's obligations. What they are doing is not it.

A group of anti-ICE protestors entered Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn., and disrupted the service on Jan. 18, chanting anti-ICE slogans and berating congregants for tolerating the arrest of illegal immigrants in the Twin Cities. The next day, conservative media was aflame with outrage, and now there is talk that President Trump’s DOJ will charge the protestors with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

That got my attention, and not in a good way. I’m one of only a few dozen people in America who have ever been convicted of FACE. In 2022, in retaliation for a peaceful anti-abortion rescue that I was accused of organizing, President Joe Biden’s DOJ arrested me at gunpoint and charged me with FACE and Conspiracy to Deny Rights (a possible 11-year sentence). In 2023, along with nine others, I was tried and immediately sent to federal prison. I would have served up to 34 months had President Trump not pardoned all of us one year ago. This is what these protesters are looking at, should Trump decide to invoke FACE.

You might think I’d be happy to see him do that. But you’d be wrong.

The FACE Act is a weird, incredibly unjust law. It makes it a federal crime to injure, intimidate, or interfere with anyone trying to obtain “reproductive health services” (i.e., abortion) or anyone attending a “place of religious worship,” and imposes outrageous sentences on violators. It was created by pro-abortion Democrats to crush the rescue movement of the 1980s and early 1990s, when thousands of pro-life people were peacefully blockading the doors of abortion clinics and saving countless lives. The church provision, I believe, was added to placate conservatives in Congress, which it did. Thirty-four Republican traitors, including Sens. Mitch McConnell and Arlen Specter, joined Democrats to pass FACE by sizable majorities in both houses. It was perhaps the biggest betrayal of human life ever perpetrated by American politicians.

Is it vandalism or evangelism?

A viral video making its way across social media shows a man painting over a heretical billboard campaign in California, altering the message to read, “The Bible says … Jesus is ___ God.”

The undated video shows an unidentified man atop a billboard platform with the Los Angeles skyline behind it as he paints over the word “Not” in the ad’s “Jesus is Not God” message, transforming the billboard into a proclamation of faith.

World’s Last Chance, the group behind the billboard, claims the message is part of “four billboard themes that dare to shatter the chains of long-held misconceptions.” In addition to the Jesus billboard, which adds the text, “Jesus did not pre-exist in Heaven,” the group’s website lists three others, including one that attacks Trinitarian theology and another promoting the so-called “flat earth” theory.
