Why are they leaving in so great a number their approval is the lowest in half a century.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen

They use the same theology books, but come to different conclusions.

What do you mean by theology books? Theologically they’re Calvinist?

I heard there were a number of starting locations. Ideologies centring on one location seem to have an agenda.

My thoughts on humans being 50th cousins is the scientist is probably trying to justify incest.

Before the civil war, first cousin marriage was quite common. It’s still legal in some states and common throughout some countries, though not recommended because of genetic similarities.

Correct.

Queen Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were 3rd cousins and the great great grandchildren of Queen Victoria.

Oh no! I was aware, I was just curious about other people’s thoughts! It’s interesting how everyone is connected, you know?

They recognize other denominations also Baptist Catholic Lutheran Methodist. They’re not a branch all into themselves.

Remember, Pentecost list and evangelicals are the fastest growing denominations on the Earth.

Well ... I got bored in life, so time to re-watch some movies.

Well, I never watched the Movies. a proper reading tells us no one vanishes, we die at the rapture and our Spirit Man goes to be with the Lord, 1 Cor. 15:42-52 makes that clear.

Sadly my friend, mot people do not understand Jesus was giving you/me/us all a hint we he said "No man knows the day nor hour" but it usually goes right over our head. Paul, Peter and John would have seen it.

Its about the timing of the Feast of Trumps. The Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits were fulfilled by Jesus. Only Jesus can fulfill the 7 Feasts, but they all come on moeds or appointed times by God. It meant a New Moon thus the 360 day year.

So, when Jesus was telling his Disciples about his return, he said "No man can know the day nor hour
' meaning it was an appointed time by God the Father a New Moon will set it all off, on a Feast of Trumps, the Church Age Harvest MUST END just like the Harvest Season nalas ended at the Feast of Trump. Thus the LAST TRUMP get it? Israel sent two men up into the hills, when they saw the New Moon, which could start on one of basically 3 days, lets just say a Mon. just before Dusk, a Tue. or on a Wed. just after Dusk, so in a 25 hour period you get three different days. Israel ALWAYS KNEW THE MONTH and SEASON, JUST NOT THE YEAR. So, the only reason Jesus gives this and says no man knows the day, nor hour is because even though we could know the Season (Fall) and we can see we are in the END TIMES, we could not know the exact day nor hour because this was going to happen on an Appointed Feast of Trumps day.

So, we get Raptured Pre Trib. by Jesus, at the Last Trump then, Israel's 70th week starts which MUST SEE them Atone or Repent, thus the 6th Feast is the Feast of Atonement. The 7th Feast is Feast of Tabernacles, which means to Dwell with Gid and Jesus will reign from Jerusalem for 1000 years. The only TIME OF THE GENTILES Feast is the Harvest. Everything else happens during the Time of Israel.

Because it's convenient. No lines to wait in. And audits are required.

He may try, but the action would not be legal.

"Pound sand"

If Trump attempts to ban mail-in voting, [AZ Sec of State] Fontes told Axios, "After I tell him to pound sand, I will probably ask the attorney general to file suit."
In a statement to Axios, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said Trump "has zero authority to interfere in Arizona's elections" and she'll "vigorously fight any unlawful attempt by the federal government to tell Arizona how we can administer" them.

Fun fact:

Nearly 75% of Arizona voters cast their ballots by mail in the 2024 general election, per a report by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.


....and we have been voting by mail for over 30 years.

It's a theory at this point, and never gotten more than the surface with it. However, it would appear as if it is some kind of backwards-aging. Everything gets better with the advancement. Even looks are better than before. Everything grows significantly.

I'm debating the subject with others.

Why exactly do you ask?

Click to expand...

I seemed to have reversed in aging but I'm not sure it has anything to do with being single because I've been single all my life, never been in a relationship.

It happened when I hit forties. In my mid-thirties photos, AI estimates my age to be early thirties. Now in my mid forties, AI revised the estimate to mid twenties. Some people (strangers) ask me if I'm of voting age already.

I was thinking if it has to do with being single then I'd have constantly maintained the same age in appearance.

It's causing me some problems already proving my identity to AI (with AI facial recognition-enabled account creation).

Chatgpt told me that AI is either mistaking me for falsifying my credentials, or using fake ID, bot, and/or mistaking me for AI (or using AI filters). I never used AI filter nor any image filter for that matter.

Ironically, if this goes on and widespread adoption of AI, it's potentially going to cause me major problems with money. At some point, I won't be able to buy nor sell anymore. The AI-driven system will keep flagging me as fraud or a 'bot' or even a rogue AI.

Chatgpt told, it can also cause problems with AI if I'm spotted by AI in CCTV. That it might confuse the whole video feed as fake and trigger an alarm it's being spoofed.

Death in Ephesians 2:4-6 means alienation (verse 12). The prodigal son was "dead" in the sense that he was estranged from his father. His estrangement did not men that he was unable to come to his senses and return to his father. Death in the sense of alienation does not refer to a so called "spiritual" condition. One who is alienated from God is not without the ability to respond to him.

"Dead in transgressions" is spiritual death; i.e., separation from God's life (spiritual death) and bondage to sin.
