I think you are missing the point. You used Protzens opinion that the stones may have been polished. You are using my link, the same link you say is not good enough and that I need peer reviewed evidence for.

If my link is good enough for you to use to point out something wrong. Therefore I should be able to use my links to do the same and this should be accepted with the some logic as how you just used my own link to refute me.

Yet if I did the same as I have been doing I am demanded to provide further evidence such as peer review.

All I was looking at was Protzen was one of the experts referred to in my article who was credible as far as experts looking at ancient works. It doesn't matter what his particular findings were. Its that you use one of my own references as evidence. While at the same time dismissing my references as unreliable and lacking credibility.

You are missing the point. I don't care about what is said and by whom. My point was that you suddenly found credibility in my own links by referencing Protzen. Yet when I reference anyone peer review is demanded. Its a double standard.

If you want to use someone within my references to defeat my point just by referring to them and not going through all the hoops of peer review or whatever it is demanded.

Then by the same logic when I cite others you should accept them without all the hoop jumping. But thats not what is happening. See how the rules are bent for one and not the others. Otherwise it does not matter what Protzen said or what it was about. If we apply the same hoop jumping then any point you are trying to make about Protzen perhaps saying the works may have been poliched is discredited under the same logic.

It does not matter. You are referring to him. If he did say the works were polished. Then you would use that as evidence that perhaps it was not vitrified. Is that correct.

Then you are using my reference and using evidence in the exact same way as I have been doing. So its double standards to then demand peer review as you never applied that to yourself. You were quite happy to use the possibility of Protzens contradiction to refute that the stones were vitrified.

What? I don't think Protzens writings about the supposed vitrified surfaces are the definitive answer. He performed very little tests, if any to evidence that. I am wondering why you reference him, when it seemingly goes against the position you try to argue.

Hello concretecamper.
Forgive me please : i'm not familiar enough with the english speaking to wholly feel the difference between the 2 adjectives.

That's ok. Neither adjective counters whether someone possessed preternatural gifts

For example, Trump is a criminal OOONLY in the minds of folks who enjoyed lawfare used on Trump

He's was convicted on over a dozen felonies. A court found that he had sexually assaulted a woman. No point in denial.

As we have seen, there's multitudes of evidence that Reiner told many lies about Trump.

But you can't find any? We all know why.

I agree with the thrust of your wisdom, but our friend is from the United Kingdom.

Thanks for pointing that out. I edited to the message to reflect that. God bless!

I really didn't know if David would be just alright, decent, good, etc. I ended up loving it. It's the best theatrical release this year. Best Christian animated movie since Prince of Egypt. One of the best Christian movies ever made. Stunning animation, great music, sincere, and heartfelt. David is handled so well and I liked how it did more with his family.

I was never taught that December 25 was the birth date of Jesus. I don't see the problem with celebrating his birth just because it's not in the bible.

I don't understand the lecture but I really don't care about it all that much, either.

Celebrate it or don't?

Interesting.

I forget where I read it, but I did read an article somewhere about how most of Israel is not even religious. The younger generations refused to follow the orthodox ways, saying it was just too much.

Maybe there are some similarities here.

It’s going to take a lot more than one divisive speech to convince a majority of Americans the country is on the right path.

Sacred tradition and Sacred Scripture form one sacred deposit of the word of God. One cannot remove either and remain faithful to the teaching of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

So says everyone who promotes a bible + tradition doctrine. History has shown that tradition has fallen short. If you're unwilling to defend a doctrine without extra-biblical support, I must view this as a doctrine that cannot be supported biblically.

Gracious Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus,
I pray for wisdom for those dealing with mental illness. These sufferers need You to restore correct beliefs and heal broken hearts, but may others need interventions in body as well. Help Your children to follow You in the midst of these storms and also to find the wisdom and treatments that they may need.
In Christ’s Name,
Amen

Gracious Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus,
I pray for Your provision for BPPLEE’s financial situation, help him to get the disability support that he needs. Please stand in the gap to advocate for his needs to any government officials who might be reviewing his case, and I pray for Your wisdom for his lawyer.

Amen

Thank you

1 Cor 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:

Gracious Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus,
Enough! I pray for relief for these thoughts, the negative spiral of rumination, the depression, or whatever else is causing this man’s countenance to fall. Guard him with Your joy and peace, and reassure his mother that he will not die by suicide. Give Jakeb hope!
In Christ’s Name,
Amen
