I take note of the fact that you apparently believe that comprehension can be enhanced by deciding how to interpret words before reading them. Good luck with that.

That’s not what I said. See comprehension. How can you possibly understand a word if you did not read it first?

By the way, what's wrong with turning over criminal illegal immigrants to ICE? Why do liberals appear to be on the same side as criminals?

We want criminals to face justice and receive punishment. Not escape justice. That said, if ICE has a judicial warrant, they will be honored by local police.

You have "one" idea you want to beat me over the head with. But you're not even applying it properly, and then you misunderstand who I am as a person, assuming I'm a social conservative. I'm actually pretty center there.

Expand your mind with me!

To be fair, the impression of ethnocentrism which you give in this forum is often associated with social conservatism.

The final retreat from facts; "They are lying!! All of them are lying!!" It's extremely hard to hide homicides, since the recording is not under the control of the police. Even if police officers were covering up homicides, civilian authorities would still be involved and keep records.

And given the history of lies from the Trump administration, why should anyone believe them? After they first claimed the Epstein files were in their possession, and then declared the files never existed, no one with any sense believes anything they say without external confirmation.

Great Job! Simple defense . They are all lying , great investigative work.

I think the point was that mainstream have humans becoming organised communities and not nomads is said to be around 5 to 6,000 years ago. But the evidence is pushing back that at. In fact the idea of what was considered civilised is being pushed back. The idea that humans were dumb brutes before this is also being proven wrong.

The point being that mainstream created this narrative to support the idea of gradualism in evolution. That humans evolved from dumb brute cavemen to more sophisticated living and thinking. That influenced how the evidence was seen.

So large megaliths and other works that were deemed to advanced for neolithic nomads was said to have somehow been created with primitive tools and knowhow. There could not have been sophisticated thinking and belief before this.

Now it seems that there was more advanced humans who once ruled the earth and were destroyed and the megaliths and works were discovered and not created by later cultures who came along and found them.

But current m,ainstream thing still wants to force fit these works into peoples who never created them Even they say they discovered them. Still the mainstream view wants us to believe that this was all created in a very short time by primitive tools of those who found thses abandoned works.

It may not be the case, but from what you have written you appear to have little idea about what the mainstream is saying. (Unless, you mean the mainstream popular press.)

Perhaps that is the way you do it. I know of at least one person on the planet who does not do it that way. Perhaps there are others. Your absolute assumption it flawed.

Pehaps that answers why there is much comprehension issues out there.

The exchange was sufficiently remote that I no longer recall. Regardless, it does not justify the discourteous and underhand manipulation of my words. Your apology would have been welcome, now - not so much.

Yes, since you are the one determining what reality is and will change your mind based on such and such factors. This is an example of subjective reality.

However, the reality that is objective stays the same regardless of what we think of it.

Incorrect, since I have not made any determination of what reality is and do not expect to do so. Reality can go about its business and I shall remain indifferent. People play immersive video games, well aware they are not real. My position is analogous, but not identical.

When the Mighty All-Knowing King of the Jews, Messiah Yahshua, and His Father ABBA YAHWEH reveal the truth,
all human 'reason' / thinking fleshly and carnal/ is NOUGHT.

Mm, do you mean that any effort at Textual Criticism / reconstructing the most original text is by definition fleshly or carnal?

Secondly, do you maintain the KJV-only/best position?

Just a couple of points:

1) This is not a complete list. I did not take the time to record them all.

2) Not a single early church father promoted idolatry or even hinted it was Christian practice.

''But the way of darkness is crooked, and full of cursing; for it is the way of eternal death with punishment, in which way are the things that destroy the soul, viz, idolatry, over-confidence the arrogance of power. . .''

The epistle of Barnabas, chapter 20.

Of course idolatry is wrong. God says so many times in Holy Scripture, such as in the First Commandment where we are told to not worship any other gods or worship graven images.

Of course we should expect everyone in the ancient Church--and throughout the history of the Church--condemning idolatry. And we do.

The burden of proof that rests upon you is to demonstrate that the early fathers considered Icons to be idols. Not that the early fathers condemned idolatry; since your claim is that icons are idols and that the Ante-Nicene fathers condemned iconography as idolatry. Quoting a condemnation against idolatry is insufficient, because everyone in this thread agrees that idolatry is blatantly sinful and evil.

There are still others who are descendants of people of the.kingdom of Israel who God knows, and would be brought back, too, while most are those descendants of people of the kingdom of Judah.

I think the book of James was written after the council in Jerusalem, in Acts 15.

The same people who voted to have an independent commission that would control it?

The people of California voted to create the independent redistricting commission in 2008. So I imagine it will include some of the same people, but plenty of new ones as well. If they're happy with the current situation, then they'll vote "No." If they think change is needed, they'll vote "Yes." And, regardless of the outcome, if they think change is needed in the future and the governor or legislature don't put another measure on the ballot, citizen ballot initiatives are also a thing in California. Democracy in action!

Notably, Newsom's proposition has a built-in expiration date - control is slated to return to the redistricting commission after the 2030 census.
