How many of them fly right over Antarctica ?
Do you really think anyone would be cruel enough to sell a flight to someone else, knowing they were putting them in danger?So there are plenty of flights that fly over Antarctica which puts them in imminent danger - Okay.
So even paying out each year you still have to pay per medical intervention?I need to correct the annual figure...it's actually a lot less... $4,180 are our annual medical premiums. Apologies for the miscaluclation! Dental and Vision are additional.
As a "high deductable" plan, we pay the first $2500 each year before insurance kicks in covering 80% of the bill. Preventative care is covered at 100%. Our maximum payout in a given year is capped at $6,000 (in network) or $10,000 (out of network).
We have the lowest family plan available. A premium plan is over 8k a year with lower deductables and flat co-pays.
The answer is beyond your ability to comprehend. The Bible tells us that God is not the Author of sin, yet at the same time, nothing can happen apart from His will.Are you saying that this was according to God’s will that man became corrupted or against His will?
I think thats an unreal solution. We may not find anymore for years. Are we to wait and just ignore all these vases. When you consider that the very best of what came out of the digs was given away by archeologists like Petrie. It seems strange that we don't attempt to verify them in whatever way we can.
These guys do. What to Expect. The flights depart from several places in Australia, pass over the south pole, and return to the same location as take-off. And as mentioned previously, there are also tours that land at the south pole base.
If you don't do righteous deeds, you will not inherit eternal life. Matthew 12:50, Matthew 25:31-461 John 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
I think thats an unreal solution. We may not find anymore for years. Are we to wait and just ignore all these vases. When you consider that the very best of what came out of the digs was given away by archeologists like Petrie. It seems strange that we don't attempt to verify them in whatever way we can.So then we see if we find any new archeological sites and excavate those.
Yes we can do that. But also the collectors and auction houses. All aspects of what was going on and what would have been the most likely situation. For example forging these vases down to the smallest of detail and even unusual marks that would not be bothered with. This is done in forensic science.So now you're speculating not only on my mental states, but also how the forgers think?
But some of the vases in private collections like Beall's have this level of prevenance. They trace back to say high rtanking politicians or military who were gifted these from say Petrie. They will all say this on the certificate of authenticity. One well known family has owned these vases in the early 20th century and has sold many for 10,s of 1,000's of dollars with guarentees and certificates of authenticity.This then needs to actually done for each vase.
The two images together of the full inside of the unbroken vases. The one on the left is a predyanstic with provedence going back to the same family I mentioned above. Before this family it was owned by a high ranking officier in the Egyptian army I think. The one on the right is a modern CNC vase.The three pictures of the inside of vases you posted recently don't look exactly the same. So which ones are you talking about?
Actually it is true when it comes to the precision vases. We are not worried about the less precise vases. They are not calling out with their signatures in being witnesses to modern tech and machining. Its the vases I have shown with high precision that are now being questioned for provenance.No, that is not true. It's only the observation that we don't know and therefore can't use it as evidence for any historical or archeological claims. I'm sure there are vases of all qualities with unknown provenance.
Ah and you said it was not about provenance. Thats all that is left to counter the evidence. These were found by Petrie and are still the same ones when discovered. The same place the complete vases that are in museums and yes some of the same have inscriptions from predynastic kings.Did that specific fragment have any engravings from a predynastic king? The stepped pyramid is not predynastic, so we can't assume that just because something was found under it then it was predynastic.
Plenty of people.
They can also land there - that's why airlines sell flights.
Your positions remain void of the unseen enemies of all peopleAll somewhat interesting but my post #82, from June 2025, above remains unaddressed.
Like all such industry awards, the Pulitzer is an exercise in patting their own backs. Pulitzer...Oscars...Golden Globe.... fundamentally no different. Mention reporting and I think of William Randolph Hearst and Cuba, and that's not the only incident. If we look back at how Jefferson said that that advertisements were the only reliable part of a newspaper, it's hardly anything new. Given that Jefferson hired James Callender to trash Adams in the papers, that was something he knew first hand.Tic toc vids from the NYP? Not exactly Pulitzer domain reporting, is it...
Only if you don't understand poetry, or how to read the Bible.Doesn't it make more sense to go with the latter ?
when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth. proverbs 8:29
Why not write a thread on something which matters?
Of course you are - you're not going to give up your beliefs or concede that you might be mistaken.I am still adamant that Antarctica circumferences the earth & that fights to Antarctic can only fly so far in.
Jesus states that some people believe (obey his commandments) for a while, but then later they fall away from the faith when they choose to sin.100%. I think a lot of what people describe as 'losing your salvation', is people who were never saved in the first place departing, natural progression.
We do not know for sure who is truly faithful. However, we can tell who was not faithful if their sins become public.These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us (1 John 2:19).
Plenty of people.But who does ?
These guys do. Quantas Antarctica Charters. The flights depart from several places in Australia, pass over the south pole, and return to the same location as take-off. And as mentioned previously, there are also tours that land at the south pole base.But who does ?
There you go then.AI Overview
You can fly over Antarctica,
Not common does not mean "impossible."but it's not common for regular airlines
This Artificial Intelligence isn't very intelligent, is it?It's not a simple matter of illegality
"Virtually no", does not mean "none".
- Lack of infrastructure:
Antarctica has very limited infrastructure, with virtually no commercial airports or refueling stops available for long-haul flights.
One thing I am driving at is that, so far, your statements are accurate, but as definitions they are entirely circular. I'm seeking to lead you towards one of the points I think @Hans Blaster was making.Well, the post you were replying to said:
"Is this the equivalence of saying 93 million miles equals one astronomical unit?"
Surely if the sun is 93 million miles from the earth, and you multiply 93 million by 1760, you get the number of yards in an Astronomical Unit. (I should say that I am no scientist, so please bear with me if I am spouting rubbish by saying that)
These were Jewish worship services, not Christian worship services. Paul went to the synagogues on the Sabbath because that is where he could speak to both large numbers of Jews and to the circumcised Gentile converts to Judaism. Acts 13:43In fact every time we see the NT saints in a weekly worship service it is always Sabbath
I'm sure we could find some pros and cons as regards the fine details of international law to bat back and forth. But I'm no legal eagle. Do I'm interested in your personal, moral opinion on extra judicial killings.Already have along with posting the legal analysis from Yale University law Professor, Jed Rubenfeld (Constitutional and Criminal law) he said Trump has a lot of law behind him
Yes thats right. A complete change in the public square from acceptance and even promotion of God and Christian values. To anti God, Christ and Christian values to whoevers gods and values manages to be pushed. All fighting in the market place. Even to the point of taking out those who disagree.I am questioning your claims, not "everything".
We are talking a generation back at least.
Are you saying the verse tells Christians to take up arms against others.Sure it is, sure it is.
I am talking about belief. The beliefs behind political ideology for example. Do you think thats based in objective fact and reality. They are all beliefs about how we should order society. Thus making them also moral which is also not something we can objectively determine.Not "secularized". Religion.
Already did in this post.This is your core claim. Don't repeat it. Demonstrate it.
Never said it was one side.So maybe it isn't just one side then?
This is silly. How can you know what todays US is like if you don't compare it to its history. Its history is what makes it what it is today lol. It did not just pop into existence out of nowhere.The thread is about the modern US and US history in general. It is not about the entire history of the West dating back to Athens.
There you go, your belief is coming out. Your cynnical of Christianity. You only see the negative. All along even when abuses were happening this did not define Christs church. We have ample examples of the very best of humans within the church. But cynnics ignore all that.It was more dodge and avoid responsibility. And there are so many orgs just like that "first one".
You don't know the church. You are outside the church looking in. Yet you seem to know everything about them.There was no notable departures from the church at the time, nor from any of the other churches with the same problems.
No I think its Christians perse lol by the obvious bias you have in only seeing bad and always looking for it. You just proved that above. I don't think you could see the good of Christianity if it was starring you in the face. Which it is but you never notice it or wich to say it. Any reasonable person would see that there are many examples of Christlike Christians who have changed the world.Oh, Steve, it is not Christians I have no tolerance for. It is bad arguments. Bad analysis. Irrelevant claims. These things you post in spades.
Yes. That even 'No religions' or any human or society of humans will have their own set of beliefs about how society and the world should be ordered. You don't have to be an organised religion to impose an ideological belief as the basis for how society and the world should be ordered metaphysically and morally. Its part of the fabric of being human and reality itself.Is that last sentence supposed to mean something? I can't make heads nor tails of it.
No it damaged it a lot. But heres the thing. The church is certainly capable of being like Christ and have done it before and can do it again. But the world cannot because it relies on itself which we know will always decend into evil as by nature humans are fallen creatures.It really didn't help the church, now did it? (no need to answer, let's get back to the topic)
Is the Left more progressive ie more likely to support progressive ideas and values from the tradition or conservative ie pro abortion, SSM, LGBTIQ+ ideas and beliefs, green policiies. Generally open to modernising and alternative ideas and beliefs.Again, you have mischaracterized "progressives" as the extreme of the left.
Lol its never liberal enough for liberalism. Besides do you really think the system is as liberal or liberated as you think. We have never been more bound up in regulations, policies and laws restricting everything and even our private and social lives now.How does that work when the established order is a liberal one?
Hum, thats you opinion and that you say you don't care about my opinion only supports what I am saying.I don't care about your discourse about "marxism". This is ridiculously far from the topic of the thread.
