Having first hand knowledge of how Jewish families treat, even their own, if one departs and marries a Christian, imagine a Jewish child in a Christian infused secular school.
Teaching a Jewish child about their Messiah is a wonderful thing but Judaism does not allow it and completely incompatible.
Folding Christianity into secular schools with Jewish children present could indeed lead to antisemitic tropes among students. Some historical Christian teachings about Jews and the crucifixion of Jesus have been used to fuel hatred, and without a careful, interfaith approach, such lessons could be misunderstood by children, leading to harmful stereotypes.
Many organizations are fighting against this. Here is one for your review.

Thanks for sharing.

By that reasoning, sharing the gospel promotes anti-Semitism. And yet the current wave of anti-Semitism we're witnessing comes at the hands of the second or third generation raised with a secular education, from people who have equal contempt for Christians and Jews.

Does one in Christ need to endure to the end in right works, in order to gain everlasting life, according to scripture?

Certainly you have some time in the past read what Jesus Says in His Word (The Bible) ? Yes?
So very simply what is written about enduring to the end ?

I think would be great if Trump coherently attacked left wing lunacy instead of putting on a clown show and letting the left attack themselves.

I do apologize for my previous post on this thread as the OP did specify Christian books.

As far as Christian books I would say Confessions by Saint Augustine and The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. Those would be followed by The Great Divorce, Screwtape Letters, and The Space Trilogy all by C. S. Lewis.

For the sake of argument I'm just going to go ahead and agree with you.

Now provide an argument for why someone should support the Republican Party.

Prime Directive: Under no circumstances whatsoever is the Bible to be contradicted.

What you're calling "anti-science rhetoric," I call "prioritizing."

Alright. Thanks for confirming that you are doxastically closed. I won't waste any more your or my time. All your future posts will be justifiably ignored.

Really?

Yes, really. It turns out that Catholicism says a lot of things are wrong, not just abortion and homosexuality.

Always in His Presence said:
The Catholic Church’s formal stance on abortion is that it is morally wrong and intrinsically evil, as it involves the deliberate termination of an innocent human life. This position is rooted in the Church’s teaching that human life begins at conception and must be protected from that moment until natural death. Here’s a concise overview based on official Church documents:

Then there is this

The Church opposes unjust discrimination against homosexual persons but does not support legal recognition of same-sex unions as equivalent to marriage. It advocates for laws that uphold the traditional definition of marriage while ensuring basic human rights for all

That's an example right there of how Catholic moral teaching says more than just "abortion and homosexuality are wrong", it also says unjust discrimination is wrong.

And, fun fact, Catholics also believe in the 10 Commandments, so they also believe murder and stealing are wrong. So it says a lot more than just "abortion and homosexuality are wrong".

Why does this surprise you?

The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. The story got me to begin my research into the Norse and Finnish mythology that inspired them.
The Art of War by Sun Tzu (Sunzi). The 2,500-year-old treatise on conflict is more about peace and the mindset that facing conflicts requires. A close second is the Book of Five Rings by Myamoto Musashi written in the early to mid-17th century.

keras, you posted the wrong verse. Isaiah 66:8, not Isaiah 66:7.

Isaiah 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

The fact remains: that the Prophecy of Isaiah 66:7-9 does not apply to the current Jewish State of Israel.

Douggg said:
Since it is God who destroys the Gog/Magog attackers against defenseless Beulah - then why in the aftermath does the leader of the One World Government need to make a peace treaty (covenant) with the people of Beulah ?

Obviously, that leader will be shocked by what has happened and he tries to become friendly with Beulah. Good thing for him to have a peace agreement, but bad for all those of Beulah who want it, the 'many', as in Daniel 9:27, as their reliance on this 7 year treaty, means they have renounced their trust in the Lord's protection. Isaiah 28:14-15 castigates them and they will be the ones referred to in Revelation 12:17, who must face persecution.

Trump’s Russia play isn’t about Ukraine, it's about China.
President aims to reduce Moscow's dependence on Beijing through energy and Arctic deals.
The headlines say the Alaska summit between President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin was about Ukraine. Commentators in Brussels and Washington rehearse the familiar debates: Was Trump too soft on Moscow? Did he undermine Kyiv?

But that framing misses the bigger picture.

The Trump administration has already set the terms of the 21st-century contest: The United States faces its greatest long-term threat not from Russia, but from China. From sweeping sanctions on Beijing’s access to advanced AI chips, to trading U.S. security guarantees for alignment in the Middle East and Indo-Pacific, Trump has consistently structured foreign policy around containing China’s rise. Against that backdrop, his Russia outreach is not a distraction. It is a deliberate attempt to bring coherence to an America-first strategy — one that pits him against the old globalist consensus now clinging to the EU–Ukraine agenda.

Trump’s Russia play isn’t about Ukraine, it's about China

Trump's Alaska summit with Putin aims to separate Russia from China alliance as part of broader strategy to contain Beijing's rise and focus US resources on Indo-Pacific

What most are unaware of is that Westcott and Hort were first formers of the creation of a critical text of the New Testament Westcott and Hort text. Their work, published in 1881 as The New Testament in the Original Greek, became a highly influential critical edition of the Greek New Testament.

This was the first translation from the three ancient manuscripts recently discovered (19th century: Vaticanus, Sinaticua and Alexzandrinus.) Their translation from these manuscript copies are what all modern translations are derived from.

I wanted you to know that these two scholars were members of a cult group: B.F. Westcott and F.J.A. Hort were members of a group known as the “Ghostly Gilled,” formed in 1850. This club, also referred to as the “Bogie Club”, focused on investigating paranormal phenomena, including ghosts and supernatural occurrences, as members were “disposed to believe that such things really exist”. Some sources suggest that a previous club organized by Westcott at Cambridge named “Hermes” may have been a precursor to the Ghostly Guild. The Ghostly Guild later evolved into The Society for Psychical Research, a key player in the 19th-century spiritualism movement.”

The two scholars who used Westcott and Hort’s translation were Eberhard Nestle and Kurt Aland (whom you’re probably familiar with). Nestle and Aland’s text is where today’s modern translations come from.

Marco Rubio accuses CBS reporter of pushing 'stupid media narrative' in fiery clash over Zelensky.
Secretary of State rejects claims that European leaders are coming to protect Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from being bullied.

"We had one meeting with Putin and like a dozen meetings with Zelensky… They're not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelensky from being bullied. They are coming here because we've been working with the Europeans. We talked to them last week… The President talked to these leaders as early as Thursday… This is such a stupid media narrative," Rubio said.

Trump's speech after riding in the garbage truck was genuinely hilarious, especially the non-political parts. Had some profanity, but his reaction at seeing how high that first step was on the truck range true, which is why it was funny.

I can't say whether Colbert was funny or not, or if his humor transcends politics. I do know the late night market is shrinking, and even though he had the highest percentage of viewers in that time slot, there are fewer viewers. Colbert's show, by all accounts, loses money, so it's not surprising that it's being canned. If it was just Colbert being canned, they'd have a new host. That the entire show is headed toward cancelation is the telling part. That suggests the problem is more late night TV than Colbert. By now, Colbert is probably catering to his core audience, so if he'd gone "off brand" he's be apt to lose that high percentage of viewers.

It used to be that late night TV was the only thing on. I'd watch it when I couldn't sleep, usually when sick. But the last time I stayed up to take a fever reducer, I didn't watch late night TV. Instead, I watched reruns of Storage Wars. These days we have choices that didn't exist half a century ago, which means if we want to watch TV at that hour, it doesn't have to be what the networks broadcast. And I think that's what's going on with declining viewers in that time slot.

My party always loses. I'm a registered libertarian. But the numbers look worse for the republican congressional people right now. And now that the democrats are about to respond to red-state Gerrymandering by responding in kind, it might be even worse for the GOP.

In California alone, Democrats could shift 6-7 seats. The biggest GOP state, Texas could at best swing 5 seats. If New York and Illinois join in, it could be pretty grim for republicans.

The proof will come in the 2026 elections. Until then……..

For that, we don't need the Epstein files. Here it is:
In an episode of the Howard Stern Show in April 2005, Mr Trump said: “Well I’ll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show and everyone’s getting dressed and ready, and everything else, and, you know, no men anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it, you know, I’m inspecting, I want to make sure everything is good.

“You know, the dresses. ‘Is everyone ok?’ You know they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody okay?’ And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that”.

Trump quote on being backstage at pageants didn’t reference Miss Teen USA – Full Fact

Social media posts are sharing a quote attributed to President Trump about watching teenage girls dress, but this is not what he actually said.

fullfact.org

Most mental health people don't consider letching on young teens to be pedophilia; the term sometimes used is "hebephilia." As you probably know, young teens were the target group for Epstein and his friends.

Howard Stern is your evidence? lol

Again, provide evidence from the Epstein files.

Deuteronomy 19:

joechristianwarrior said:
Self-defense is exactly what "an eye for an eye" is all about, and is no different than what you find from virtually any religion in the world. What makes Christianity different and unique is Jesus teaching for us to love not just our friends, but also those who seek us harm. No other religious leader I know teaches people to "turn the other cheek". It goes against our human nature, which is why you need the Holy Spirit to be able to show such love.

Reading Deuteronomy 19:1-21 and it’s conclusion in Deuteronomy 19:21 in relation to Matthew 5:1-48 especially it’s conclusion in Matthew 5:48 has always left me speechless as does Matthew 5:38-42 etc. I have never had excuses to rationalize around it in some matters but in my fallen state will end up being disobedient on matters like defending myself. If a violent perpetrator against me has been arrested and done me physical injury like destroying one of my eyes, I must forgive and ask the authorities to not exact such justice ( Deuteronomy 19:21). Am I that forgiving? In immediate physical conflict, while on the defensive, I will fall short. Scripture like Philippians 2:12 is helpful then I read the broader scope of Philippians 2:1-13 and really think about verse 12.
