Action on Gabbard Evidence, Ex-Obama officials face federal grand jury probe into whether they promoted false Trump-Russia ties


If these allegations by this Whistleblower are true, then Adam Schiff has committed treason.

How should have Christians historically addressed Islam?

If your Gospel is the same as Saint Paul then no one else has understood Saint Paul throughout the entire history of Christianity.
The folks who taught me the doctrine which is according to Godliness would argue against that errant idea.
You can't even point to any one historically or outside of you who is a brother and sister in faith.
Jesus was of the same mind as I.
Why does your belief differ from His ?
That's why this conversation is pointless. It doesn't matter. Belief in your God dies with you.
Though this conversation is pointless, the faith and obedience God commands will live on until the end of time.
Want to be part of that ?

How should have Christians historically addressed Islam?

I guess all we can do is disprove their “prophet” by the words of the Lord ( whom they consider a prophet) in that John the Baptist was the final prophet ( Matthew 11:1-15). They have no ability to disprove this as some manipulation which is probably their tactic to undermine our scriptures. These words were spoken and recorded centuries before their “prophet” was born.
Not to go off on a tangent, but can Jesus consider to be or both the Messiah AND Prophet within Christianity? I’ve seen some Protestants who say yes.

How should have Christians historically addressed Islam?

Well no you didn't. Historically Muslims from North Africa launched numerous slave raids into Europe, they would capture men in order to put them to work and women for sexual purposes. Should Christians have washed their feet and loved them per the quote you provided?
No. Countless Christian martyrs have been slaughtered by those radicals who claimed to be Muslim.

Watch: CNN Cuts Tulsi Gabbard Off as She Lays Out the Inconvenient Facts of the Russia Hoax

It’s a crime, and he elevated a criminal to an appointed position in the government.
If so, then he's just following the electorate's lead. Republican voters did the same thing back in November. And Trump was actually tried and convicted when they did that, unlike that other guy.

You seem to suggest that someone committing a crime is only a criminal if they are charged. That is patently false. He had done that activity prior to being appointed, and he did it again after he was appointed.
You may want to ask some of your pro-Trump friends about the concept of "innocent until proven guilty." They were all over that back when Trump was on trial for 34 criminal fraud felonies.

-- A2SG, all of which he was convicted of, by the way, in case you missed the news....

Former Jan. 6 defendant who called cops 'Nazis' is now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice

Your point is a false premise with no backing facts. Trump was entitled to the documents he had, per the court ruling in Clinton’s case . This was an illegal witch hunt . Tell us what the grand jury in Florida actually said in the matter and where that case actually went. While you are at it tell us why a grand jury in DC didn’t agree with your charge. Listen to Trumps lawyer who was present for much of the raid point out all of the illegal actions by the FBI.
Funny, I remember when the (then) former President was on tape showing plans to attack Iran and told the people in the room with him, that he could have declassified the documents he was showing them.
Trump: See as president I could have declassified it.

Staffer: Yeah. [Laughter]

Trump: Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret

WHY DID TONGUES STOP ?

We receive the same Holy Spirit that gives gifts in the bible. So yeah, the same gifts are given today.

The context is:
Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. (1 Corinthians 14:13)
And I have and OP , WHY TONGUES ceased but will come back during the Great Tribulation in Mark 16:-18 !!

and what comes in Mark 16:16 is HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM , and speak in new Tongues , cast out demons take up

serpents , and drink up deadly think and heal the sick . in. Mark 16:15- 18 ,

How should have Christians historically addressed Islam?

If you mean 'the faith', you err.

My 'gospel" is the same as Paul's...Jesus died for our sin and was killed, and resurrected the third day.

Again you err.

The bible was written by and for lovers of God.
All who are thankful for God's mercy and grace, will live in obedience to Him

Only the disobedient, who called themselves Christians, will die the second death.
Real Christians would rather die than disobey the one who suffered so horribly for them.

The church exists not only here in the USA, but also overseas.
It will obey God until the last day.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s move to ‘country club’ prison smacks of special treatment, experts say

It looks like to me that liberals will continue to believe a narrative put forth by the left wing media and the progressive leftist leaders of the Democratic Party. If the majority of the American people actually believed that narrative, Donald Trump would not have won the nomination and then the presidential election.
None of that address the topic of the OP. Why does a woman convicted as a sexual trafficker with a 20 year sentence get to move into Club Fed after meeting with the #2 man from the DOJ who was once Trump's personal lawyer?

Trump shows world leaders "Trump 2028" merch at White House 'gift shop'

These whataboutisms are sad. Trump Org is offering Trump Merch in the People's House.

Obama or Biden selling things is not equivalent.

Once again the "Only Original White House Gift Shop" is not actually associated with the White House.

No your faith will literally die with you
If you mean 'the faith', you err.
There is no one else who believes in your Gospel.
My 'gospel" is the same as Paul's...Jesus died for our sin and was killed, and resurrected the third day.
There was no one historically who you can point to as a brother or sister in faith.
Again you err.
The bible was written solely for you and no one else. Only you have discovered biblical truth, everyone else being wicked and flesh driven failed in this.

Hiatoric Christians, all of them, were all false because they were not pacifists and relied on each other for help, love and security.
Only the disobedient, who called themselves Christians, will die the second death.
Real Christians would rather die than disobey the one who suffered so horribly for them.
Other Churches will exist but yours is only composed of yourself so true faith dies with you. How does it feel to be the last believer of your God?

Energy chief suggests Trump administration is altering previously published climate reports; staff for next iteration all fired already

Government assessments tend to change with the political winds.
This is a relatively recent development that coincides with one of our politics parties deciding that truth in general is inconvenient and that the concept of "alternative facts" is actually a real thing rather than satire. Generally speaking, scientific assessments don't change significantly unless there is a massive shift in scientific understanding.
As I said above, when the Democrats regain the White House, the assessments will very likely change again. That's the way of things.
If someone runs for office on the platform that 2+2=5 and wins, then goes about changing all the documentation to reflect their beliefs, the next guy coming back through and fixing those changes, reverting the official record to reflect the fact that 2+2=4, is not evidence that math is political or that it changes with the political winds.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s move to ‘country club’ prison smacks of special treatment, experts say

This is the part where you provide a source or evidence to prove your assertion. Personally, I think Trump may be mentioned on some of the documents, but nothing showing any criminal activity.
Nobody has said that his name in the files is proof that he did anything wrong. What is being discussed is that some people are saying, incredibly, that his name doesn't appear at all. There surely couldn't be any doubt in anyone's mind that if the name of someone who was so involved socially with Epstein for so many years didn't appear in the files then that would most definitely be cause for concern and would need further investigation.

It has crossed my mind that Trump, or those close to him, have removed his name from the files to save him from some embarrassing but not necessarily illegal conduct. And if that is found to be the case, then Pandora's box will have been flung wide open.

AI learnt "something" from the Physical & Life Sciences Forum.

Perhaps, but I doubt it. I suspect it is people using the wrong tool. An "AI" isn't needed for this task at all.
Unless it was a specific test for GPT-5 to create portraits from scratch which led to the gibberish, otherwise it would have proceeded with the method used for Australian Prime Ministers which any LLM should be able to achieve.
Was you "prompt" something about a "table of PMs w/ links to official portraits"?
No prompting from me, in fact it was GPT-5 which asked if it could use links to official portraits.
The next post is to supply GPT-5 with a research level problem which required a novel solution.

Why Is “Christian” Music So Awful?

Talk about insipid. :oops: They sound like a Christian version of Devo. Instead of "Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-my Sharona", it's ""Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-my Juh-Jesus". :(

Israel Air Strikes Tent Full of Journalists

Deliberately.


Five Al Jazeera journalists were killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike in Gaza on Sunday, the network said, with the Israel Defense Forces claiming one was a Hamas leader posing as a journalist.​
The network said that Anas al-Sharif; another journalist, Mohammed Qreiqeh; and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa were killed.​
For the most well-known one (Anas al-Sharif) I think the IDF has published sufficient evidence he was an active Hamas operative; personally I've seen his X-statement from 2023 where he celebrated the killings of October 7th. Their Al-Jazeera job was part of their Hamas propaganda. I would argue this seems a perfectly justifiable attack with precision ammunition to take out an enemy.

As I said above, when the Democrats regain the White House, the assessments will very likely change again. That's the way of things.
The Fourth Assessment, published during the Trump Administration, is consistent with the others.

The New York Times reported "White House officials made a calculation that Mr. Trump’s core base of supporters most likely would not care that its findings are so at odds with the president’s statements and policies.” Steven Milloy, a climate-change denier[43] who served on Trump's EPA transition team, ... noted that the Administration did not alter the report's findings but rather chose to release it the day after Thanksgiving "on a day when nobody cares, and hope it gets swept away by the next day’s news."

Trump 2.0 is going that extra mile, it appears.

Does the Logos suffer?

The bible says all creation is longing to be restored to Gods Kingdom. It seems the Fall in seperating creation and humankind from God is a sort of suffering or a thorn in our side that can only be alleviated by Christ.

I have read about philosophers and even psychologists like Peterson for example talk about the human condition as one of suffering as a default state. That life is a constant battle to overcome that disposition and that sacrifice is the key to achieving something beyond that surrfering. Almost like suffering in sacrifice brings freedom from the disposition of suffering.

This is where I think Christ comes in and became the way out of that suffering disposition caused by the fall. Living in the spirit as opposed to the flesh. Though the flesh is still a part of us until Christs return. It is this duel state we exist in that is in constant battle for our hearts and minds.
