Unless you align 100% with Eastern Orthodox teaching, what a dumb comment.

Oh dear. You'd lose. Tne guy in geographically inept. From AI:

International Geography & Country Mix-ups

"Nambia" (2017): During a luncheon with African leaders at the UN, Trump twice referred to the non-existent country of "Nambia" while praising the health systems of African nations, likely confusing Namibia, Zambia, or Gambia.

Confusing Baltic and Balkan States (2018): In a meeting with leaders from the Baltic states (Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia), Trump reportedly accused them of causing the war in Yugoslavia, confusing the Baltic region with the Balkans.

Nepal and Bhutan (2018): Reports indicated that in briefings, Trump appeared to think Nepal and Bhutan were part of India.

Belgium is a City (2016): During a campaign stop, then-candidate Trump called Belgium "a beautiful city".

Paris in Germany (2016): Trump once stated, "Paris is in Germany," when discussing security issues.

Iran-Qatar Proximity (2025): Trump claimed one could "walk over from Iran to Qatar" in "one second," despite them being separated by over 500 miles of water (the Persian Gulf).

South Africa vs. South America (2025): In a speech in Miami, Trump confused South Africa with South America while discussing immigration and communism.

Turkey/Hungary Confusion (2023): Trump referred to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as the "leader of Turkey".

Russia/Alaska Confusion (2025): Ahead of a meeting with Vladimir Putin, Trump referred to Alaska as Russia.

United States Geography Gaffes

Border Wall in Colorado (2019): Trump boasted about building a "beautiful wall" on the border of Colorado, a state that does not border Mexico.

Kansas City Chiefs (2020): After the Super Bowl, Trump tweeted congratulations to the "Great State of Kansas" for the Kansas City Chiefs' win. The Chiefs actually play in Kansas City, Missouri.

Hurricane Dorian and Alabama (2019): Trump asserted that Hurricane Dorian would hit Alabama, a claim contrary to the National Weather Service's forecast. He later displayed a map in the Oval Office that appeared to have been altered with a Sharpie to include Alabama in the storm's path (widely known as "Sharpiegate").

Nashville Convention Mix-up (2019): Trump tweeted that he was addressing a farm convention in Nashville, Tennessee, but was actually speaking in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Everyone makes gaffes. Even people on your side of the political spectrum.

Lol
Having watched that, I can confidently say that the characterizations in the article itself were, a bit over the top.

It was a bit tepid (as standing ovations go) but yes people stood up..

I don't think I can "fix" him, I just want to show him Jesus' love so he can begin to heal. I think that love is a balm that heals a hurting heart.

Who knows? With a different boss he might have some greatness.

But the strong consensus is that he's a complicit sellout.

Mark Rubio has achieved greatness. The liberals are the only ones who refuse to admit that.

So...

Colbert and CBS doesn't want to run an interview with a Democrat candidate because they fear it will violate campaign laws? That means they had no intent of interviewing the Republican candidate.

And everyone is okay with this?

JEREMIAH 34:8-22, 33:25-26

Jeremiah is known as the “weeping prophet” because Israel had returned to idolatry and corruption. YHVH sends him with a message to Israel, “Repent” and “turn from your sins”, one of the sins was to go back on their word. Jeremiah told them that God had said, “release your slaves” since they had no released them after 7 years, they did that, but afterwards, they “re-captured” their slaves and returned them to captivity, this is to be “double-minded” for “appearance sake” they released the slaves/servants, but when they thought that “the prophet wasn't looking” they went back on their word. Result? Babylon came and captured Israel! And King Zedekiah was taken to Babylon as a slave.
I would like to take this opportunity for those who like learning new facts about the Bible. Jeremiah reminded Israel about the laws of God, one being to free slaves after 6 years. All the commandments of God can be classified under three different categories.
MISHPATIM: Rational laws that are obvious and make sense to us. Laws on human relationships (such as the law to set slaves free at the end of 6 years), Laws on charity, tithes, offerings, and the 10 commandments.
EIDUT: Laws that tend to be symbolic, that would remind us who Messiah Yeshua/Jesus is. Examples: The Sabbath Day, The High Holy Days of the Jewish Calendar, the wearing of fringes (Tzitzit) on the undershirt of Jewish men. Today, we even have Sunday worship to remind us of the Resurrection of our Messiah on the First Day of the week. Paul reminds us not to forsake the gathering together of brothers and sisters in the LORD. He may have been thinking of the Sabbath (Saturday), but this also applies to Sunday, the first day of the week, as the disciples got together on the first day of the week in the Book of Acts.

HUKKIM: laws and commandments that may not make much sense to us, and we might not understand the why of these laws, yet these were laws the Israelites had to follow; example: The Red Cow that was reduced to ashes and mixed with water to cleanse someone who was "unclean"; speaking to a Rock to bring forth water (in the case of Moses). Making a bronze serpent to bring healing for "snake bite" to those who just "looked at it."
How well do we as believers respond when someone calls our attention? When we are in the wrong, do we really repent and turn from our sins? Or.... when we think no one is looking, go back to our sins? Our old attitudes, our old “issues?” A thief looks ahead, in back, to the left, to the right, to make sure that no one is looking, but the thief never looks “up”! Yes, our Heavenly Father who is on high is looking down on us all, and observes ALL our actions, even in private, so, we really are NEVER alone! Someone is always watching us.
God, his holy angels, Satan and his demons, all that are in the spirit realm, are always watching our every move. So, make sure our lives are holy, unto God on high.
MARK 1:1-2:28
The talmid/disciple Mark writes about John the Baptist, his ministry to prepare the people for the coming of his cousin, Yeshua, preparing hearts and minds. Baptism was important in Jewish life; it symbolized who was once unclean is now clean, from “Tamei” to “Tahor”, from “death to life”.
When a born-again believer is baptized, the believer identifies himself or herself with Yeshua in death and life, death, burial, and resurrection. But John was just “preparing” the way for He who is THE WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.
Yeshua is the WAY to eternal life, He is the TRUTH, which is the opposite of lies and deception, and He is LIFE eternal, to those who embrace Him as Savior and LORD.
So, how are we to walk our “Halacha” (Spiritual walk), we need to walk in HIS WAYS. What are HIS WAYS? The way of the Torah, obedient to HIS mitzvoth. If we are walking in HIS WAYS, we are walking in the TRUTH, and if we walk in the TRUTH, and we have accepted the LIVING TRUTH (Emet Chai), then we have ETERNAL LIFE. No wonder Yeshua identifies himself by these three words.
Yeshua went walking along the Sea of Galilee, and there he invited Kefa and Andrew to come with him, and later, at K’far Nachum (Capernaum), went to the synagogue there and began to teach the people. Here we also see that many came to Yeshua to be healed of different diseases, and he had compassion on the people, and he healed those who came. But that is the point. We must SEEK Him first, and ASK. Yes, God will heal people today of diseases, some by miracles of healing, others by natural medicine, or by doctors and surgery. Yet sometimes, God takes us home through diseases. We are all living in corruptible bodies that are wearing out; it is all part of the sin nature. "The wages of sin is death".
The synagogue at Capernaum is still there. It has been rebuilt a few times, yet the floor is the same floor that Yeshua walked on 2000 years ago. I visited that synagogue back in 2015 when I went to Israel to serve with the IDF in a reserve unit. My friend Alon Tamir (an Israeli singer) and I went by car to Capernaum, walked around, and visited the part of the lake that served as a dock for the fishing boats, which is probably where Yeshua met Kefa and Andrew.
We are all called by Yeshua through his spirit to follow him. Do we follow Him? Or...do we expect HIM to follow US? He teaches us through HIS word. Are we listening?

I never claimed that the Mosaic law was in effect before Moses.

That's your go-to srawman argument, that has been exposed repeatedly.

Your bare assertion argument has failed.

"Go read your Bible. It's in 'ere," does not qualify as proof.

I actually have heard of this "Speaking in tongues" thing. I think it is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit that He gives to born-again people.

Don't the Pentecostals or Charismatics believe in this? In my church its not really believed in all that much. But, then again, its an Independent Baptist church. Are we wrong?

'He who speaks in tongues edifies himself (14;4)." in my case one particular tongues session was BY FAR the highlight of my life

'I want you all to speak in tongues (1 Corinthians 14:5)."

"I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you z1 Corinthians 14:16)."

So works are not necessary for Grace and/or justification while works are proof of salvation therefore those with saving faith work from salvation not for salvation and those that are justified mature to saving faith and are consequently saved by the free grace of God through faith.
