Demonising immigrants.Act on what?
What Trump is saying is intimately related to what he’s doing. He’s expressing an idea we’ve heard before and not from a good source and when you combine that with what his administration is doing to people it starts to paint a very ugly picture. When you combine that with what others like Stephen Miller have expressed and when people see ICE agents acting with impunity and being accountable to no one and the underhanded tactics they’re using the picture really starts to look bad.I’m not here to defend everything Trump says, that’s a fool’s errand
First - these are not predictions. They're estimates. Estimates are numbers extrapolated from the government plans. It's a spreadsheet - not a crystal ball. If this - then that. Mathematics. If the government actually does what it has signed into law - then we can expect this outcome for the budget.You are free to continue to believe agencies and people whom constantly get their predictions wrong. Have a liberal cookie while enjoying the liberal kool-aid.
Why do YOU think it's shut down then? Tell me the reasonNope. It's the truth, though I'm confident you don't know it, because you haven't looked into it beyond what the clowns on Fox and Phonies said.

I don't think I said I was liberated, but if I was under constant threat of criminal terrorist gangs, I would feel liberated.Lmao… Liberated? How were you being oppressed? Please tell me. I need a good laugh today.
The pattern I see in the NT writings is that it is proper/prudent to pay/support the kingdom workers working in/among/commissioned by your fellowship, but at the same time it's also best to refrain from demanding/suggesting others pay me/my church.
Unfortunately that just reflects badly on you. Her posts have always been clear to me.Half your posts never makes much sense![]()
I’m not here to defend everything Trump says, that’s a fool’s errand...and apparently poisoning the blood of your country. Hey, you'd think that the fact that they are here illegally could be justification in itself for proposing that some of them are deported. You really don't need any more justification than that. And I mean you personally. So who does? Who are those people that Trump is talking to when he uses language like that? Why does he think they need such comments?
You have to know that it doesn't reflect well on the US when there's someone in the WH using language like that. The rest of the world is like 'What? He said what?'
It's indefensible. And it's not a one off either, is it. It's par for the course.
Yeah. I wish you would look in the mirror.Rhetoric matters in sensitive matters like this.

This seems a bit hysterical.STYLE: And the violence - the teenager daughter - the masks? How about identifying themselves properly and NOT wearing masks? How about street gangs dressing up like that to kidnap people? We're talking about Stormtrooper tactics. Funny how Republicans were anti-mask during Covid when it really mattered - but PRO MASK when the Stormtroopers arrive!
So if they both find precision what then. The Artifact Foundation refers to Maximus and says this is the best way and an industry standard.No they are using different quality metrics, from memory the Artifact Foundation uses the geometric mean of the median of circularity and concentricity and Maximus Energy uses the sum of mean slice rmse and mean deviation from slice circularity.
That's another way of saying a potters wheel lol. There was no wheel full stop. If there was they would have used it for their pottery which they say they used the coil and slab method because they had no wheel.Your own latest rferecned journal supports argues that while potters wheels were not present, a turntable or a turning device was.
So what about the vases that have good provenance at the Petrie museum that test in the precise class.Perhaps, but without provenance it is unknown.
This is circular reasoning. They are precise because they are precise. Its not what we would expect. Its an unusual level of precision. All sorts of levels of precision as the tests show could have been produced from handmade to rudimentary lathing that is less precise.It is just what you would expect to find in some vases.
Another logical fallacy. Other science has taken far longer. So it must not be good science or good scientists. Does not follow. Being something that was never done and resisted by mainstream it took time to gether interest and funding. And the vases. Remember the museums only just allowed tests in 2023. Most private owners were not interested or didn't want to use their vases.Was the OG vase first analysed in 2017? If so in 8 years, they haven't managed to put together, submit and publish a single article. This is not something to be proud of.
Ah they claim to be representing them as 'real science' lol by tarring these tests and researchers as whacko. There are plenty of articles mentioning how mainstream archeologists are biased against such alternative ideas. Of even measuring for precision in vases as a useless enterprise as they already know how these works were made.Of course it would, how can you draw any conclusions about the reception by academic archaeologists from this thread?
Ok why the semantics. What exactly are you questioning then. If I take a ruler, tape measure or lazer light for which they now use instead of retractable tape measures. I measure the length of a beam or room its not going to put out subjectively different measures. They will all be the same. JUst the lazer light will be more precise.Metrology is the scientific study of measuring, all instances of taking measurements is not metrology.
This is the other part of the tests where they actually do make fakes or obtain fakes for comparison. Fakes are usually smoother inside and out and don't leave those accidental or unfinished marks that genuine ones have. They are usually slightly lighter and don't look ancient as far as wear, chips, and Patina ect.Maybe they were made in modern times with a lathe, how would you tell the difference?
I am continually correcting these claims only to have them repeated and then a new one already addressed is made lol.By the same criteria none of the 19 Petrie vases investigated by Maximus Energy were in his precise class.
So if I use a tape measure and get say 4.51cam and a lazer light at 4.511 how is that then showing some different measure because of a different method. Its just a more accurate measure of the same measure. Its not as though each different method is showing a completely different measure. This is more red herrings.Not the same quality criteria.
Another fallacy. Just deal with the numbers.Not the same quality criteria.
No they are not, another falsehood. The circularity for example in some places is as near perfect as 0.003mm. Into the micron level. The perpendicularity, paralellism and concentricity is of similar levels in places. The average for these vases is in the micron levels.The surface deviations are best described by a mm scale.
Yes I agree, It gets too much fixated on one specific issue and it seems to be going in circles. I suggest you do a deep dive into this whole topic and discover. It may be wrong but you may learn something as well. Its the only way.I think I'm done, you referencing articles without reading them, makes me think you are either trolling or you think your viewpoint is worth lying for. It's not a good basis for further discussions. I'll see you in a thread about some other topic.
Do you not read my posts? Have I spoken against Gods law ever?I agree with all those verses but those verses doesn't over rule keeping the Commandments, Statues and Judgement of God. Paul says in Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. You wouldn’t know what sin was if there was no law.
Paul concerning the unchangeable Royal Law of God. (Rom. 13:7-10) (v.7) Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. (v.8) Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. That’s the biblical definition of love, the keeping of God’s law. (v.9) For this, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, THOU SHALT NOT KILL, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, THOU SHALT NOT COVET; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. (v.10) Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
And that is what God’s holy commandments are all about; the first four tells you how to love God and the last six tells you how to love your neighbor. If you love your God you will not do any thing to offend him, like having other gods before him. You will do as he says like remember the sabbath day to keep it holy on the seventh day of the week. If you love him you will obey him when he tells you not to eat certain meats etc… And the same goes for your fellow man, if you love your neighbor you wouldn’t steal from him, you wouldn’t kill him, you wouldn’t try and sleep with his wife and so on and so forth. (See exodus 20: 1-17)
This is God’s definition of love and it is perfect in its ways. The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: And in keeping of them there is great reward. (Psalm 19: 7-11)
So if you say that you know God, but you don’t keep his commandments, lets see what the Lord had specially written for you.
(1John 2:3-4) (v.3) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. (v.4) he that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Paul said in 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Rightly dividing the truth starts from Genesis to Revelation.
Hi CC,Does judgment day apply to those who are saved or only the unsaved?
The pattern I see in the NT writings is that it is proper/prudent to pay/support the kingdom workers working in/among/commissioned by your fellowship, but at the same time it's also best to refrain from demanding/suggesting others pay me/my church.The difference I like to express is that Pastoring is a career option that some are encouraged to attain to - you know how it goes - 'don't touch the Lord's anointed' - 'His word is God's Word to you' - 'The Labourer is worthy of his hire' - His Harley is God's blessing' - when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.
Pastors are paid to pastor.
This seems a far cry from ministries being supported by the congregation as there is no relationship between the quality of the spiritual ministry and the support received. It is a set contract, rather than an expression of love from the heart of the flock.
Personally I don't see the biblical justification for such a role being a professional. Rather the opposite.
Flawed study. Not enough studies and no systematic reviews.(When you do magic hand waving, try to remember which hand holds the secret or you'll give the trick away.)
Remember my refusal to do that anymore?Remember my request for evidence?
I think we should have immigration laws and we should expect people to abide by them.I'm talking about how you feel, and how you write.
What would you want the country to do?
Why do you vote the way you do?
But I still maintain that justifying Trump's dog-whistling to Proud Boys
and with them our relationship between God's people (the church) and the relevant authorities of the day (the state).
We are as individuals. Scripture is written to us as individuals and not to tell the secular state how they should run their country. Unless you are wanting the state to outlaw all sexual sin, gossip, lying and such. Or do you just think we should only push for part of scriptural morality and not all of it?because while we are not under the theocratic rule of the OT - we are under its moral obligations.
Who said I dont like them? Since when does wanting people to follow the law equal not liking them?That group outside your borders that you do not like
Sure and rhey should go through the process. You ate ignoring the fact that the vast majority don't meet the criteria.To Americans it could very well be the kind hearted immigrant family who DID in fact just flee their country because of the drug gangs extortion demands now moving to stealing their teenage daughters.
I agree.Yes you should! Both conscience and law require that you apply the international convention of human rights and well being of refugees diligently and carefully.
You should know that data can be manipulated. And how data is collected is also important. And data changes. I prefer to look at all rhe things. A prime example is the data that often surrounded transgenderism.Those who respect reality LET their minds be changed by data!
Feature, not a bug."political actors who are inclined to be aggressive in their interpretations of law are not going to get any pushback."
Act on what? Federal law being enforced?Does it need to get that bad for you to act?
The article you posted said that the Jews who were “deported “ were rounded up and killed.That’s why I said they didn’t start with gas chambers. Right now we’re in the scapegoat phase. Blame a group for our problems and try to get the public to turn against them as a whole. It’ll take a bit before people are more comfortable with more drastic solutions. You can say we’re not there yet but plenty of people who’ve lived it are seeing the parallels.
I saw that in this statement in the review about Konig:Thanks again. You see him as Amillennial?
