There you go. Address my post instead of ignoring it.Better still can you prove me wrong.
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.
Book, chapter, and verse please.When God's government authorities (?) disobey the Constitution of their country upon which all our laws should be based, they--and the president, DHS Secretary, and superiors who give them immoral orders--provoke God's wrath.
I think you are misunderstanding the spiritual trajectory of her writings.
Ellen White is not claiming meat is inherently sinful. She is arguing that returning toward God’s original Edenic design promotes clearer spiritual perception.
Scripture shows that indulgence of appetite leads to spiritual decline Numbers 11; Psalm 106; Romans 8,
and meat was never part of the original ideal.
I see her statements as theological application of that trajectory rather than contradiction of Scripture.
Obama faced the same criticism Trump is facing. He was accused of deporting people without due process or loveMany 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.
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.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.
Yes, as long as it is possible.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, all of this is true.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
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.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.
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.
Democrats used that word. I just echoed their rhetoricchanging your tune already? You said *MURDER*.
So just a lot of ignorant assumptions and prejudice against poor people.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)
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.)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.
"Business verticals". LOL. Sounds like powerpoint blather.It's heavily baked into a lot of services and business verticals (that most people enjoy, but don't even realize is using AI)
Read that article. Don't use em.![]()
Americans Use AI in Everyday Products Without Realizing It
Nearly all Americans use AI products, but many don't realize it. Most say the government and businesses are equally liable for reducing its potential harms.news.gallup.com
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.Conversion to Christ is a work of God Who is all powerful. No one can stop God's intent.
Hey litAh, 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.
The money was in relations to the nuclear treaty. If you want to bring it up, stay on topic.If you call miles of new underground Hamas tunnels under Gaza as part of the plan, I guess it did work.
Raises eyebrows. Greenland saw Europeans arrive centuries ago. What are these new diseases of which you speak?How could they possibly not know about America and its treatment of indigenous people? What can America possibly offer them that they don't already have? New diseases?
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.
This Scripture was true before Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead.No one has ever entered Heaven except the one who came from Heaven, the son of man John3:13
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.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.
Jesus declared sinful thoughts as sin. It's not negotiable. Matt. 5:28No, 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.
The fact that you are engaging in battle or resistance means it's within to contend withFirst, 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.
Accurate conclusion in boldJames 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.
If Godly thoughts were the only thoughts in play you'd have a point, but that's never the caseWhich 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.
