Look up what aionios meant 2000 years ago and how it was used in other literature at the time, Plato is the one who used it as eternal but most did not, the Lexicons that we use are recent history , the first one was from 1607, and they used the Latin influenced by Plato not the Greek of the time.
So no I do not buy into that definition as eternal.

I can prove the proper definition.

Those believing in the flat earth will not look at evidence they can check for themselves well enough, because they are already sure they are right, so they are sure evidence would confirm it so they do not need to check any evidence that could be checked. But seriously they even have to deny the reality of gravity. Any of those who do check adequately would not be those arguing for the flat earth with us.

Hegseth has denied the information he shared was classified, but it was given to him on a system for sensitive and classified information, sources told NBC News.

Just because the information was given on a secure system, does not make it classified. Do we really need to rehash this again?

I realize that sounds like the sort of propaganda that is always spewed to demonize the enemy. How much of it is actual we really don't know at this point.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the Whites-only community....unless you are identifying/equating Israeli Jews with American Whites and evil Palestinians with non-White Americans?

If that is true, I can't be wearing my running clothes and skates every time I went outdoors!

I feel silly and like a child everytime I skated but I do it anyway because it's great cardio exercise, good challenge, and fun. I used to cycle and run. Running resulted to neutral reaction.

I think women these days especially the pretty ones who are physically fit would find men who are not physically fit as disgusting and I seem to look like one when I'm wearing my loose, out-of-style casual clothing.

The sentinment is appreciated, but we are already on the path to extinction, so there really isn't much point to fighting for acceleration so hard. I'd rather the suffering be drawn out some more.

Always in His Presence said:

Gabbard released unclassified documents Friday that reportedly show "overwhelming evidence" that then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong Trump-Russia collusion probe after Trump's election win against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Click to expand...

Tulsi forgets that the SCOTUS bailed out Trump by declaring that he had immunity for the felonies he committed in the office of president. Obama, even if he were guilty, now has immunity. And give that the probe of Trump officials colluding with Russia resulted in numerous criminals being indicted/convicted/pleading guilty for crimes in that collusion, it would seem that Obama was just doing his duty as president.

Yes, Trump pardoned most of the worst criminals. But they are still guilty and still criminals and America is stronger for them being brought to justice.

Again, I find if funny given the "better watch what you ask for, because you may just get it." thing. The Right and their deeply held conspiracy of rampant high power Dem pedophile sex trafficking, preying on children, while the pedophile sex traffickers are protected by equally powerful Dems in high places. But it turns out it's not the Bill Gates or Tom Hanks, they thought, but it's the right who are knee deep in that protection. The cognitive dissonance must be maddening, but then again the right has mastered navigating cognitive dissonance.

So, if you don't have a "prophetic school" you must be your own headmaster? How convenient--you're free of all influence and bias?

Click to expand...

What does that mean?

I take my doctrine not from prophetic riddles not spoken clearly (Nu 12:6-8) and subject to more than one interpretation,
but from NT authoritative apostolic teaching of Christ (Lk 10:16).
Any prophetic riddle interpreted not in agreement with NT teaching of Christ is an erroneous interpretation.

prodromos said:

thMy understanding is that it is simply a figure of speech known as synecdoche, where the part implies the whole, or the whole implies the part, like 15 'head' of cattle or 'England' beat 'Wales' in the rugby. Three days and three nights is three whole "day and night" implying the parts, Friday afternoon, the whole of the Sabbath, and the beginning of Sunday. This does not contradict the many times Christ said He would rise on the third day and is in keeping with the prophecy of Psalm 16:10 that He would not see corruption. Christ was buried before sunset on Friday and rose after sunset on Saturday, a little over 24 hours, having rested in the tomb on the 7th day as foretold in the creation account in Genesis. If Christ had been dead for 72 hours then His body would have begun to decay and would have "seen corruption".

Click to expand...

Hi Prodomos, thanks for the reply. I don't believe the synecdoche theory; I think it means three days and three nights. I just feel a scribal emendation or gloss is responsible for this. Including it in the text creates contradictions elsewhere in the Bible, particularly in passages that mention Jesus rising on the third day. In early Christianity, the spurious Gospel of Peter mentions fasting night and day between the day of the crucifixion and the Sabbath. That is found in verse 27 of the gospel. I deduce from this that there were some early Christians who believed Jesus was in the grave three days and three nights. The gospel of Peter is, of course, not canonical. But it is possible there was an early scribe who held to the Gospel of Peter, verse 27, and he added the three days and three nights because the book of Jonah mentions the three days and three nights.


Luke mentions only the sign of Jonah (a resurrection of sorts) without mentioning the time. Matthew is the only gospel that mentions the time element of three days and three nights, inclusively.

Luke 11:29 (NASB)

As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, “This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.​

Luke 11:30
For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

are the GDP & inflation figures also up for revision?

Click to expand...

For GDP, yes, the Bureau of Economic Analysis provides several revision for GDP. I believe they release estimates one month after the close of the quarter, and then twice more at monthly intervals, and there's the possibility of an annual revision.

1937 Soviet Census
A Pravda editorial stated that the "enemies of the people gave the census counters invalid instructions that led to the gross under-counting of the population, but the brave NKVD under the leadership of Nikolai Yezhov destroyed the snake's nest in the statistical bodies".

Andreas Georgiou
Georgiou's prosecution has been denounced as a violation of scientific freedom and human rights by the American Statistical Association's Committee on Scientific Freedom and Human Rights[12] and the editorial board of The Economist.[13] The Financial Times reported, "The case has sparked outrage from economists and statisticians worldwide who believe Mr. Georgiou has become a scapegoat for Greece's political class."

Great Leap Forward
Moreover, in 1958, Mao abolished the State Statisti- cal Bureau, which meant that there were no statisticians or demographers in 1959 to project national production figures before all of the harvests were physically procured and aggregated across regions

[The Great Leap Forward case is pretty complex, but holds maybe an even more important message for today. Statisticians were replaced by Party Officials, who told Mao what he wanted to hear, even if it was untrue and inflated.]

When they do, then we'll be able to check the damage. The tariffs that have been negotiated are not as high as feared - which is mediocre news.

It means inflation for Americans - but hardly high enough to stimulate bringing jobs home to America.

Yes tariffs have kicked in. We've collected billions.

Maybe it will be horrible. Maybe it will be the end of our economy. Maybe the the US will crash and burn.

Im willing to wait and see if these deals make any difference in the long run or they cause harm. The fact is, I don't know. These are all deals struck by countries. A lot of them. Maybe in the long run they will be good.

Or maybe it will turn out to be a disaster. If tgat happens Trump will be forever known as the destroyer of the conservative movement. The left will win and we will get the socialist utopia they've always wanted.
