Now that we're getting mixed messages from the Trump camp. I was wondering if people would care to stake their position pre-debate. Is Biden a doddering zombie or a debater of practiced ability? Which Biden will show up Thursday? Or is he both, like some Schrödinger's Biden?

"To hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, ... to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink.”

Peace in Christ.

The Greek word for “eternal” is “αἰώνιον”…transliterated “aiōnion”. “aionion” = AGE-LASTING or age-during. It should not be translated as “eternal” for it has a limited duration….an age. Most bibles have mistranslated the word into “everlasting” or “eternal.”

John 6:47 KJV
(47) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

John 6:47
Young's Literal Translation
'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

The gospel is not about “dying and going to Heaven”. It is about having “eternal life”…that is, an age-lasting life… now in this earth and now in this current mortal body we are living in.

It is in this present, evil age that Jesus is delivering us out of by having an age-lasting life. This age shall not mortally destroy us as He renders death idle for us now. Salvation is now.

Galatians 1:4
Young's Literal Translation
who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father,

Our Savior…our Deliverer that delivers us out of this present evil age…has “abolished” death (that is, rendering it idle.) We shall NEVER mortally die into the rest of this age through His sacrifice that He made for us. He delivers us out of this present evil age by giving our mortal bodies an age-lasting life so as to never experience death. He died for us so that we do not have to.

2 Timothy 1:10
Young's Literal Translation
and was made manifest now through the manifestation of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did enlighten life and immortality through the good news,

It is about our mortal body now. We have an age-lasting life now in it. He is raising/standing us up TO (not “at”) the last day. The last day = the end of this age. We are kept mortally standing here throughout the rest of this age to the last day of it.

John 6:54
(54) Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal (AGE-LASTING) life; and I will raise him up at (TO) the last day.

Those who shall endure (stay behind) unto the end (the end of this age) shall be saved. They stay behind in this earth by being preserved mortally alive unto the end of the age.

Mat 24:13-14 KJV
(13) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
(14) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

And those who mortally endure unto the end of this age (at the “last trump”) shall have their mortal bodies changed into immortal….never experiencing death at all until that moment. This mortal body (having never died) must put on immortality at the very end of this age. Until then, we LIVE BY FAITH which keeps our mortal bodies alive until then.

1Co 15:52-53 KJV
(52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
(53) For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Mr. Russell, the general director of the Sarasota Opera on Florida’s Gulf Coast, had expected his nonprofit organization to receive a state grant of about $70,000 once Mr. DeSantis signed a budget that state lawmakers had approved in March.

But in a move that stunned arts and culture organizations, Mr. DeSantis vetoed the entirety of their grant funding — about $32 million — on June 12, leaving them scrambling to figure out how to offset the shortfall.

For me personally, I was always staunchly egalitarian. Meaning that I do not believe that traditional gender roles (men being the leader of the household and the church in particular) are a mandate for a Christian life. Complementarians are those who do believe in traditional gender roles.


So I want to ask, for those of you who were on one side, but are now on the other? What changed your mind? What are your stories?

And regardless on whether you changed sides or not, what convictions do you have on each side? What convictions do you have about complementarianism? What convictions do you have on egalitarianism? I'd like to know.

Who has the pure sound doctrine according to you?
Protestants?

A Phoenix family is mourning the loss of their dad, who died in a freak accident Monday after he was pinned under his car when it fell on top of him.
Instead of helping, police say some people who saw what happened stole from him and took off.



This is yet another example of the sad state of humanity in the world today.

The Song of Solomon did not mention God at all except possibly in (ESV) 8:

6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD.

שַׁלְהֶ֥בֶתְיָֽה׃ (šal·he·ḇeṯ·yāhhttps://biblehub.com/hebrew/3050.htm)
Noun - feminine singular
Strong's 7957: A flare of fire

Jah or Yah (Hebrew: יָהּ‎, Yāh) was a short form of יהוה (YHWH). It was the same form as in "hallelujah".

New International Version translated it differently:

It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

In this case, -yah worked as an intensifying suffix. The Song of Solomon as translated by NIV does not mention God at all.

There were scholarships supporting both translations.

Hi community,
Any and all prayers are so very appreciated.
I’m asking for prayer for protection from my sister who is threatening to evict me from my mom’s house. She asked me to move in to help her. Praying to find the money to move and survive on my own.

Or that isn't plausible?

Snopes detailed in its fact check that Trump was clear he was not calling neo-Nazis "fine people" when he made the comment at a press conference that year. "While Trump did say that there were ‘very fine people on both sides,’ he also specifically noted that he was not talking about neo-Nazis and White supremacists and said they should be 'condemned totally.' Therefore, we have rated this claim 'False,'" Snopes wrote.

Good for them! They surprised me and I hope Snopes continues to strive for the truth.

The construction industry has one of the highest suicide rates among professions — with the rate among male construction workers 75% higher than men in the general population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An estimated 6,000 construction workers by suicide in 2022, an increase from 2021, according to the most recent data available. That compares to around 1,000 who died from a construction work-related injury.

“When you’re more likely to be killed by your own hands than to get killed in a jobsite accident, that’s a crisis in our industry,” said Brian Turmail, vice president of public affairs and workforce for the Associated General Contractors of America. “We know pretty much what needs to happen to protect people physically. We’re figuring out how to protect people mentally.”

While construction wages are up and jobs are plentiful, those in the industry fear that the pressures on their workers’ mental health are only getting worse. A recent surge in construction projects, spurred by billions of federal dollars for infrastructure, clean energy and semiconductor projects have put increasing strain on an already stretched workforce.

As a result, workers are putting in more than 10-hour days in harsh weather conditions, facing high-pressure deadlines and having to spend months away from home living in hotels, temporary workforce housing or their vehicles. There is also the risk of workplace injuries and a higher rate of opioid misuse along with the general financial instability of hourly work.

Joe Biden’s campaign planned to bury Donald Trump in an avalanche of cash.

Instead, his allies are bracing for a slugfest without the benefit of a fatter wallet, as financial reports showed Trump outraising Biden in back-to-back months, hauling in huge sums after his 34 felony convictions and erasing Biden’s longstanding financial edge.

Blessed feast everyone!

During Mother’s Day everyone praises both married and single mothers. Yet during Father’s Day last weekend women across social media wanted the day to include them saying they do the job of both. Why can’t fathers get any sort of praise without women wanting to be the main character of both days?

Hello folks. Do any of you like Yu Yu Hakusho (1992)? It is a classic anime. Watched it from January through March 2024, and it was great. Kuwabara is my favorite character, as he has grown up a lot in maturity during the series, and his two to five hairs nestling out of his bangs over his forehead are adorable. This anime was done by the same guy who made Hunter x Hunter, which is the anime that introduced me to anime in November 2021. Yu Yu Hakusho is non-woke (cos it is from the 1990s), and is wholesome, as the evil powers get defeated in the end by a group of four friends.

Summary: Yu Yu Hakusho is a popular Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi, later adapted into an anime. The story revolves around Yusuke Urameshi, a troublesome teenager who dies saving a young boy from being hit by a car. Despite his questionable life, he is resurrected as a ghost by Koenma, the son of the underworld's ruler. To return to the living world, Yusuke must pass various challenges and prove himself worthy in the Spirit World, becoming an Underworld Detective. Along with his friends Kazuma Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama, they take on different missions involving supernatural entities that disrupt the balance between the human and spirit worlds. These tasks range from solving mysteries to battling powerful demons, ultimately leading to larger conspiracies within both realms. Throughout their journey, they grow stronger and develop complex relationships while learning more about themselves and their roles in maintaining peace.

Just a question: is it possible to be/ become a virtuous woman ( or have virtue restored) after living a worldly lifestyle?

Greetings in Jesus name. I have a friend that is in his 60s and disabled. He lives by himself in an apartment and has no wife or children. He has a caring heart, but sometimes that gets him into trouble.

To make a long story short, he had a careworker that helped him for a few years. But she didn't have a car and have children. Richard (my friend's name) bought her a car. He found out a little later that her driver's license was suspended. But throughout the whole time, he accumulated over $100,000 in debt.

After a few cars later, she has another car that was probably bought from someone else. She went to jail for 9 months because she had an accident with a previous car with no license or insurance. He said that her new car had her window smashed. He keeps saying that she has no choice. She has to continue to break the law of driving unlicensed and uninsured because of her children. I said that we shouldn't enable others to break the law. What does anyone think about this situation?

(OSV News) — After St. Mary’s High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, launched its inaugural school year in 1885 — staffed by the Sisters of Loretto and planted on the front range of the Rockies under Pikes Peak — generations have passed through its doors going through students’ typical challenges to scholastic success and emotional well-being: lost homework; forgotten textbooks; maybe even a bully or two.

But now schools are finding students face a new typical challenge: cellphones.

St. Mary’s High School confronts cellphone challenge​

“Dress codes have always been a challenge in Catholic schools,” Thomas Maj, president of St. Mary’s, told OSV News. “But phones became a bigger one.”


Maj dates the “explosion” of student cellphone use to approximately 2005. In May of that year, Maj — who has been a Catholic school administrator for 25 years — said he could easily count the number of kids who had one. By the next year, it was easier to count those who didn’t.

“You see the social deprivation; you see the sleep deprivation; you see attention fragmentation in class; you see the addictions; you see how social media harms girls more than it does boys,” said Maj, inventorying detriments before concluding, “Something had to give.”

A woman in Texas has been charged with attempted capital murder and injury to a child after trying to drown a 3-year-old child at an apartment complex pool and making racial statements, according to police.

On May 19, Euless Police Department officers responded to a call at an apartment complex pool regarding a disturbance between two women. Witnesses told officers “a woman who was very intoxicated had tried to drown a child and argued with the child’s mother,” police said in a news release.

The woman, identified as Elizabeth Wolf, 42, was approached by officers as she tried to leave and placed under arrest for public intoxication.

Wolf also made statements about the mother not being an American and made other racial statements, according to police.

“When the mother answered her, she stated that Wolf tried to grab her 6-year-old son but he pulled away from her grasp, which caused a scratch on his finger. The mother began helping her son when Wolf grabbed her 3-year-old daughter and forced her underwater,” the [CAIR] news release said.

The Euless Police Department confirmed to CNN Wolf posted bail out of Tarrant County Jail.

“The bond for the Attempted Capital Murder charge was $25,000. The bond for the Injury to a Child charge was $15,000,” Captain Brenda Alvarado told CNN.

Former President Donald Trump told a national gathering of Christian conservative activists Saturday not to let the secular left "silence" and "shame" them in a bid to keep them from voting, saying Christianity would be in "tatters" if President Joe Biden is reelected.

On Saturday, Trump addressed the Faith & Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority conference in Washington, D.C., encouraging attendees to do all they can to encourage fellow Christians to vote in the upcoming November election, bemoaning that not all Christians vote.

"We need Christians to turn out in the largest numbers ever to tell Crooked Joe Biden … 'Joe, you're fired,'" said Trump, the 2024 presumptive Republican nominee for president.
