I have already done that. I post one every day from the very real NOAA Goes satellite that takes the pictures for weather predicting used by virtually every weather predicting agency in the world. If weather predicting is happening around the world and the data from the NOAA Goes satellite is used to predict the weather then the pictures are real pictures used to predict the weather by virtually all weather predicting agencies around the world. Therefore the pictures are real.

Prove me wrong.

I think you are misunderstanding the spiritual trajectory of her writings.

The topic of this thread is not the "spiritual trajectory" of her writings. It is the specific claims she made about the Israelites. They contradict Scripture.

SabbathBlessings said:
Ellen White is not claiming meat is inherently sinful. She is arguing that returning toward God’s original Edenic design promotes clearer spiritual perception.

They didn't have access to the original Edenic diet in the wilderness. And just like the AI you are not actually referring to what she said:

God did not withhold meat from the Hebrews in the wilderness simply to show his authority, but for their good, that they might preserve physical and moral strength. He knew that the use of animal food strengthens the animal passions and enfeebles the intellect.

She claims God withheld meat from them. He didn't! He preserved their livestock in Egypt and they still had it with them, and He promised to expand it in the future so they could eat as much meat as their hearts desired. That is not the Edenic diet.
She claimed animal food strengthens the animal passions and enfeebles the intellect. Scripture did not say that. And if it did there is no reason for Him to let them eat as much as their hearts desired.

SabbathBlessings said:
Scripture shows that indulgence of appetite leads to spiritual decline Numbers 11; Psalm 106; Romans 8,

Then you better get to banning cucumbers, leeks and onions.

You admitted in your earlier post that meat was not the issue. I admitted meat was not the issue. Even the AI admitted the meat was not the issue. But Ellen White made it the issue, and contradicted Scriptural statements about God preserving the livestock of Israel, promising to expand it, etc.

SabbathBlessings said:
and meat was never part of the original ideal.

It was part of God's plan for the Israelite diet, which completely contradicts Ellen White's statements.

Exodus 9:4

4 And the LORD will make a difference between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt. So nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.” (NKJV)

Deuteronomy 12:15 “However, you may slaughter and eat meat within all your gates, whatever your heart desires, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you; the unclean and the clean may eat of it, of the gazelle and the deer alike.

Deuteronomy 12:20 “When the Lord your God enlarges your border as He has promised you, and you say, ‘Let me eat meat,’ because you long to eat meat, you may eat as much meat as your heart desires.

Deuteronomy 11:15 And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.’

SabbathBlessings said:
I see her statements as theological application of that trajectory rather than contradiction of Scripture.

Ellen White's statement about God's intention for the Israelite diet:

By departing from the plan divinely appointed for their diet, the Israelites suffered great loss. They desired a flesh diet, and they reaped its results. They did not reach God's ideal of character or fulfill His purpose.

God's actual statements about His intentions for Israel's diet:

Deuteronomy 12:15 “However, you may slaughter and eat meat within all your gates, whatever your heart desires, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you; the unclean and the clean may eat of it, of the gazelle and the deer alike.

Deuteronomy 12:20 “When the Lord your God enlarges your border as He has promised you, and you say, ‘Let me eat meat,’ because you long to eat meat, you may eat as much meat as your heart desires.

Deuteronomy 11:15 And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.’

Deuteronomy 14:22 “You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year. 23 And you shall eat before the Lord your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.

Leviticus 7:31 And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. 32 Also the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 33 He among the sons of Aaron, who offers the blood of the peace offering and the fat, shall have the right thigh for his part.

Ellen White contradicted Scripture.

Many were here legally but then suddenly had their refugee status removed - for instance, the Haitian refugees. One day legal, the next revoked. Then there were those who were here legally, going through all the hoops, who got arrested during their immigration check-in. One was taken out just before their naturalization swearing in.

Too many people being mass deported were not here illegally but they had not yet become citizens.

Are you not aware that immigrants, temporary workers and tourists can be here without being citizens? Give this some thought, maybe.

Obama faced the same criticism Trump is facing. He was accused of deporting people without due process or love

New jobs in January of this year exceeded expectations. Realize Trump has been eliminating federal jobs in his quest to boost our economy. Many of those jobs, whether related to DEI or global warming, were actually damaging our economy. How much damage Democrats can do to our country by shutting down parts of the government remains to be seen.

Shutting down the NIH and CDC end medical research projects that could have resulted in millions of lives being saved. Tell your misconception about EPA and climate control are 'damaging our economy' to the people of NY waiting for 2 feet of snow coming in, or the residents of the west coast as far east as northern Oklahoma who are dealing with catastrophic forest fires due to droughts. Tell theses misconceptions to the Africans and Asians who have survived the gutting of USAID and who are probably burying their children who died of malnutrition and disease preventable through vaccines.

And since Biden's economy was far more robust in every category (despite the outright lies being promoted by the administration) Trump's firing of federal employees obviously hasn't helped the economy.

God gives to each person a measure of faith. Romans 12:3
If the person cooperates with God's initial measure of faith by believing in Jesus Christ, and he also received the baptism that Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:18-2, he has been saved. At this baptism he was given the Holy Spirit to help him to be a good disciple of Jesus Christ. Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38

Yes, as long as it is possible.

To clarify your position:
If a man is genuinely convicted of his sin, truly repents, and turns to Jesus in faith — but is killed in a car accident on his way to be baptized before the baptism can take place — would you say he is saved or lost?

Jan001 said:
Now, he must continue in his faith until his death if he wants to inherit eternal life. Revelation 2:10
For him to continue in his faith, he must obey God's commandments.

Acts 14:22
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”

He will be cut off from Christ's kingdom if he does obey Christ's commandments.

Romans 11:22
Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

Yes, we were saved. Now we must continue to be saved by obeying Jesus' commandments.

1 Corinthians 1:18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

The people who are perishing are the people who are not obeying God's commandments.

1 Corinthians 15:1-2
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

If a person did not obey God's commandments, he is foolish to believe that he is still saved. He believed in vain. Unless he repents before he dies, he will not inherit eternal life.

Jesus said it is difficult for people to inherit eternal life. I believe him.
Luke 13:23-27, Matthew 7:12-14

Yes, all of this is true.

This kind of horror is simply testing what Trump supporters will put up with. If he can deport this person he can deport ANYONE. It's to see if people will excuse this (who would?) That's the plan.

For us conservatives, the worse it gets, the less of us will vote or vote minor parties. We know our nation is doomed either way.

A legislator’s chief of staff was arrested in Juneau on Friday on federal charges of sex trafficking and child exploitation, enticement and coercion and creating child sexual abuse material.

Craig Scott Valdez, 36, was chief of staff to Sutton Republican Sen. George Rauscher since November, and worked in Rauscher’s office since 2021, according to a government staffing website Legistorm. Rauscher was not immediately available for comment Friday.

Valdez also served as the chair of the Anchorage Young Republicans since January 2025, according to the organization’s social media posts. [He has been removed]

Documents say the girl’s sibling alerted their mother, who used a tracking app and drove to his home and intervened, and called the Anchorage Police Department. Court documents say the mother “entered the residence, struck Valdez once in the face, and recovered the child who exhibited signs of extreme drug or alcohol intoxication and had difficulty walking and maintaining consciousness.”

[Yay Mom!]

Federal agents said they believe this was not the first time Valdez exploited the girl, and believe he victimized others.

The chair of the Anchorage Young Republicans.

I'll bet he was.

Depends on the kind of units... and the current conditions of the "host city"

The NIMBYism that occurs in that realm typically centers around the idea that if heavily subsidized housing pops up a few blocks away, it will introduce some negative elements (that typically go hand-in-hand with subsidized housing)

So just a lot of ignorant assumptions and prejudice against poor people.

It sounds like you're under the assumption that the bulk of AI is just the end-user/user-facing AI that people recreationally use online. (like people hopping on to ChatGPT and asking questions, asking it to make a funny picture, or self-driving Waymo cars)

I think most people are probably ignorant of how much they use (and enjoy) benefits of AI without even realizing they're using it.

I've seen the "features" the add to apps I use (like Zoom) add AI "features". Never touched one. I always skip past the AI summary on my google searches. (Slow and don't trust. I want a link, silly search engine.)

Conversion to Christ is a work of God Who is all powerful. No one can stop God's intent.

Indeed. And while I may be wrong, I do believe the Bible clearly calls us to demonstrate our faith through acts of charity and kindness so that people turn to God. So, I think we do have a part in the conversion of people to Christ. Honestly, if you look at history, you won't find a single group of Christians who God converted all by Himself. They were led to God by other Christians.

The Liturgist said:
Ah, lovely, nothing like John MacArthur engaging in grossly offensive and untrue commentary regarding the sacramental theology of traditional churches.

Specifically, the idea that baptismal regeneration comes from pagan mystery religions and not, gee, I don’t know, John 3:5, Mark 16:10-16, Matthew 28:19, and Acts entire, which the early church fathers themselves write is the source of the doctrine, is not only shockingly offensive to Lutherans, Anglicans, Roman Catholics, and the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox (particularly the persecuted Orthodox Christians of Syria, Egypt, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Iraq, the Holy Land, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Tajikistan), but also simply disregards and glosses over the rationale for baptism explained by the Early Church Fathers, essentially accusing them of lying.

Speaking of persecuted Christians, regarding Valentines Day, St. Valentine was a martyr killed by the Pagan Romans.

Now, is displaying Cupid appropriate on St. Valentine’s Day? Certainly not. It has roughly the same propriety as Caligula erecting an idol of Zeus in the courtyard of the Temple in Jerusalem.

But, some ignorant people who regard Valentine’s Day as a secular holiday and inappropriately comingle Christian and Pagan imagery does not extend to the Scriptural and Patristic doctrine of baptismal regeneration being derived from Pagan mystery religions; this idea is a spectacular non-sequitur; on a par with saying that because the octopus has eight tentacles, humans were able to invent the transistor in the late 1940s.

I expect my friends @Ain't Zwinglian @prodromos @chevyontheriver @MarkRohfrietsch @FenderTL5 @jas3 and @ViaCrucis might have something to say pertaining this backdoor attack on Baptismal Regeneration.

Hey lit

John 3:5, Mark 16:10-16, Matthew 28:19, these do not say what you claim. There is a baptism that saves, but not water baptism. The one the actually places a believer in Christ, the baptism with the Holy Spirit, is the one true baptism, the one that saves. It's shockingly easy to understand.

1 Corinthians 12:14 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

Ephesians 1:13-14 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

This "placing into" with the Holy Spirit places us in Christ Jesus, the one true Church, a spiritual Body, and also places Him, the High Priest Himself, Who has entered the heavenly sanctuary Himself on our behalf, into us by way of the Holy Spirit indwelling, the baptism that saves. In case you didn't catch that, we have no need for priests anymore because we have the High Priest Himself living in us. There is one Mediator between man and God, Jesus. That's why the curtain in the Temple tore right down the middle at the death of Jesus on the cross, the beginning of the NT.

What does a saint have that he did not receive, and if he received it, why do you boast as if he didn't? No need for the Catholic hierarchy, we never needed them. Just Jesus, that's who we need.

The quality of Love that Christians find in Jesus is also found within those of other spiritual paths. It's interesting, at least to me, in the way that Divine Compassionate Love can not be limited. Myth stores as they are retold are a way of pointing us to things like the Divine experience that Christians find in Jesus. Or any other religion where God is brought to this Earth.

Miami-Dade small business owner who voted for Trump feels pain of partner’s ICE detention, immigration lawyer fees and detention costs
It has been eight months since U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained Yamile Alcantu, and her partner of 20 years, Wayne DeMario, has been in a lot of pain.

“They grabbed her, put her in shackles and chains,” DeMario said, adding that after she was “kidnapped,” ICE held her at a detention center in Jacksonville and moved her to Louisiana.

“I really thought this was just going to be something more organized, but it’s obviously not,” DeMario said about Trump’s deportations. “They just blanket everybody.”

DeMario said Alcantu moved to the U.S. from Cuba 25 years ago through a Visa Lottery, a State Department program. They didn’t think her immigration status would be a problem, and he voted for Trump.

You can't win if you don't play.

Puerto Vallarta Rocked by Cartel Violence

Widespread violence, including vehicle arsons, highway blockades, and armed confrontations, erupted across Mexico’s Jalisco state on Sunday, February 22, 2026, prompting Governor Pablo Lemus to activate a statewide “Code Red” alert. The unrest, which significantly impacted the popular tourist destination of Puerto Vallarta, was a direct response by criminal groups, notably the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), to a high-profile federal law enforcement operation in the municipality of Tapalpa that reportedly resulted in the death of CJNG leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes.

In Puerto Vallarta, the violence led to public buses being torched downtown, reports of motorcycle pursuits, and a shootout in the Ixtapa area. As a precaution, public transportation services in the Pacific resort city ceased operations, and hotels reportedly advised guests to remain indoors.

US Embassy issues warning to Americans after ‘El Mencho’ killed

The notice from the Embassy says Americans should shelter in place in Taumalipas, particularly Reynosa, where social media activity has seen numerous reports of blockades.

“Due to ongoing security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity, U.S. citizens in the named locations should shelter in place until further notice,” the notice states.

fhansen said:
If our performance fluctuated such that that I’ve simply remained in my sins after conversion, or that I might be pretty righteous one day but commit murder, adultery, or theft the next day, then there certainly wouldn’t have been much “purifying, regeneration & renewal” going on. But if that purity now remains an option throughout the rest of my life, an option that I can exercise/express resulting in that purity growing, or not, then such purity, while dependent on our remaining in Him, certainly is inherent in a person who’s heaven-bound, and is something that can also be ignored, uncultivated, rejected, forfeited. Rom 6, for one, seems to present this option, with the gift of righteousness, holiness, sanctity ending in eternal life.

Your phrase ""dependent on our remaining in Him"" quietly shifts the entire weight of salvation from God's finished work to human performance. But that's the very thing Titus 3 & Ephesians 1 explicitly reject.

Paul grounds salvation in God's mercy, not our ongoing stability: ""He saved us, not because of works, but by the washing of regeneration & renewal of the Holy Spirit."" That's a completed act, not a probationary status. And in Ephesians 1, Paul says the moment we heard the gospel & believed, we were sealed with the Holy Spirit > God's guarantee, not a conditional loan.

If salvation ultimately depends on us ""remaining in Him,"" then the Spirit's regeneration, renewal, justification & sealing are not guarantees at all but temporary benefits that can be forfeited. That is the opposite of Paul's argument. Scripture never builds salvation on the instability of human performance; it builds it on the unchanging work of God, who saves, justifies, seals & guarantees the inheritance of those who believe.

No, that is not an accurate representation of Scriptures concerning the powers of the air (Thoughts) that come into our mind. It isn't a Sin when a thought comes into our mind.

Jesus declared sinful thoughts as sin. It's not negotiable. Matt. 5:28

Jesus also said evil thoughts are evil, lawless and defining. Again not negotiable

People are easily led into the deceptions of excuses and letting themselves off the hook rather than confronting the reality that evil is in fact present within us. Romans 7:21

Studyman said:
First, we need to discern them to know if they are from above or below. We have weapons and Armor from God to make said discernment, and then to use against such thoughts that are ungodly or sinful, so that we are not carried away by them.

The fact that you are engaging in battle or resistance means it's within to contend with

Studyman said:
James 1: 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is "drawn away" of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

In fact, according to the Holy Scriptures, our entire Battle is against spiritual wickedness in high places, which I believe to be sinful thoughts that come into our mind.

Accurate conclusion in bold

Studyman said:
Which aligns perfectly with the Scriptures. The Kingdom of God dwells within me, the Temple of God is my mind, and the people of my Kingdom are thoughts. Godly thoughts are preserved, fed, nourished and allowed to prosper in my kingdom. Wicked thoughts are to be cast out, utterly destroyed, man, woman, cattle and every last part of the thought so that the wicked thought doesn't rule or influence any of the righteous thoughts in the Kingdom God gave me.

In this way I am led by Godly thoughts, which is the purpose of the Gospel of Christ in the first place, in my view.

If Godly thoughts were the only thoughts in play you'd have a point, but that's never the case
