Poland urges all of its citizens to leave Iran within next few hours​

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has told all citizens to evacuate Iran, warning that in just a few hours, there will be ‘no more possibility’ to do so.

It comes on the heels of a potential US attack in Iran within the next few days after nuclear talks failed to yield any progress.

It comes as one Trump adviser told Axios: ‘The boss is getting fed up. Some people around him warn him against going to war with Iran, but I think there is 90% chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks.’

Sources have suggested that any conflict would likely be a joint operation with Israel.

That's Pharisee dogma. I don't subscribe to it. As it is written, dogma was nailed to the pale with Yahshua.

Scripture says that the lineage is through the father.

Which do you subscribe to?

“The Code of Jewish Law clearly states that a child of a Jewish mother is Jewish, regardless of the father’s lineage (or whatever else may show up in a DNA test), while the child of a non-Jewish mother is not Jewish.1 Matrilineal descent has been a fundamental principle of Torahsince the Jewish people came into existence.”


I guess you need to argue with these people.

You can call it either. But saying that they're not the same is like saying that the fact the tide is coming in and that the water level is rising is not the same thing.

To be fair, it isn't. And since your post relates to water being wet (thread topic), I'll address it in order to help you understand.
The tide coming in is indeed different in that it's temporary. Water level rising can be misconstrued as to meaning that it's permanent, much like saying "The climate is changing! The climate is changing!" when we have an abnormally warm summer.

They did not, as a whole, Laodicea being a local council, not an ecumenical one. Furthermore it did not prohibit rest on the Seventh Day, merely rest in accordance with the requirements of Jewish law (such as a prohibition on gathering food - which Christ engaged in and was criticized for by the Pharisees). The tradition of the Pharisees was the Tradition of Men referred to by Christ our True God in Mark 7:13 (which some people attempt to apply to the tradition followed by the Orthodox or Roman Catholics).

Bradford [PA] hospital submits closure notice. Ending emergency, inpatient and long-term care services by mid-2026​

“Federal funding cuts and long-standing financial pressures across the healthcare industry have accelerated the challenges we face and the decisions we are considering or have already made,” said Don Boyd, the president and CEO of Kaleida Health, in a press release shared with WPSU.

Kaleida officials said the hospital in Bradford has lost an average of $10 million every year since 2021, and that they tried to convert the hospital to an outpatient emergency department without inpatient beds. But, Pennsylvania law doesn't allow for that.

Lisa Davis, the director of the Pennsylvania Office of Rural Health, said since Kaleida took over the Bradford Regional Medical Center, they’ve already moved other services to Olean, New York about half an hour away, including surgeries and OBGYN care.

“This will contribute to more of a health care desert versus a maternity desert, which we're already seeing up in that area," Davis said.

Davis said these closures contribute to a decline in rural health care, especially in northwestern Pennsylvania, where there is now an eight-county maternity care desert.

@wing2000 , for your example, the fact that it would be "entertaining" (as in funny to see Colbert make them look silly by doing a loaded comedy shtick) to see him interview the GOP, but it would most certainly be a flattering endeavor when he interviews democrats he agrees with, would undermine the whole point of an "equal time" in the context of any sort of fairness provisio

That way we can have a the states spend 50 times what the federal government does.

The contempt finding by US District Judge Laura Provinzino on Wednesday appears to mark the first time a federal attorney has faced court-ordered sanctions during President Donald Trump’s second term.

It comes as judges in the Twin Cities and elsewhere have grown increasingly impatient with the administration’s repeated violations of court orders, particularly in fast-moving immigration cases.

The appointee of former President Joe Biden said that starting Friday, the lawyer, Matthew Isihara, must pay $500 each day that the immigrant is not given back identification documents that weren’t initially returned to him when he was released last week from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, as she had ordered.

“The government’s understaffing and high caseload is a problem of its own making and absolutely does not justify flagrant disobedience of court orders,” the judge said during a hearing Wednesday, according to a transcript obtained by CNN.

DOJ found more than 50 violations of court orders in New Jersey alone​

“This falls below the relevant standards,” [A NJ Judge] wrote in an order directing the US Attorney’s Office to explain in coming days how it will work to ensure the pattern isn’t repeated. “Judicial orders should never be violated. And they very rarely are, especially not by federal officials.”

When ever I read the puritans I always tend to learn something. I've only sampled some of their works, like Thomas Manton, Stephen Charnock, Richard Sibbes. Some may find them a little dry by today's standards, but if you take it slowly, maybe 4 or 5 pages a day, you will find that they are rich in both theology and the life of the inner person in relation to Christ's divine work in us. Theologically and doctrinally I would highly recommend them.

“Do process”?

You are self-contradicting by saying: Peter was just following the Jewish tradition of water baptizing Jews and Gentiles, yet to start-out with on the first day, Pentecost when he says to only Jews be baptized in the name of Jesus, he is only doing Spiritual and not water baptism which he will later do?

Click to expand...

No contradiction. The Jewish believers were still under the law in Acts 2 right through as we see in Acts even till Acts 21.

So they were going both the spiritual in the preaching the word the gospel and faith and yet they were still sacrificing animals and doing many diverse washings and carnal ordinances for a long time.

For example Jesus Christ is the one sacrifice for sin and through faith in his shed blood we believe to life. But we don’t need to do animal sacrifices still. Yet they were doing both .

So baptism as a figure was still done but the reality of being baptized into Jesus Christ was there also .

Like many people in the Twin Cities, Jess has been observing ICE officers: following them in her car and documenting their actions.

"We followed at a distance. We never got in front of them. We never honked our horns. We never made any sort of noise. We were just keeping an eye on them," said Jess...

But then the three vehicles she was following turned around and drove toward her. Federal agents hopped out.

"They all had their guns drawn. I kept saying, 'What you're doing is illegal. You have no right to do this,'" she said. "At that point, they started breaking my window. All I could think about was not being shot."

She was detained for about eight hours.

It is legal to observe and record officers and shout, whistle or honk at them. Following them in a car at a safe distance is also legal, [ACLU lawyer] Kim told NPR.

Beyond the initial arrests, the federal government is so far having more of a challenge in prosecuting the cases it has brought against observers during its immigration crackdowns.

[Examples of no charges or dropped charges.]

[But it's not very challenging to break windows and detain people.]

"They're resorting to gross intimidation," said Will Stancil, a civil rights lawyer based in Minneapolis, who has also been told he is impeding investigations while following immigration agents around.

Stancil has been public about following immigration officers, but he understands why others might feel intimidated. He has had officers lead him back to his own home twice.

Actually, Jesus of Nazareth HAS to have at least a minimal place within the overall encompass of considerations for "evidence for God."

However, it just may be not the kind of evidence you prefer to have, but it is a form of rational evidence, which like all historical evidences and/or citations of alleged testimonies of "religious knowledge" is open to subjective analysis and evaluation which comes from diverse epistemic frameworks.

So, it would be more accurate for you to say that Jesus being a historical person doesn't show evidence of God TO YOU. But it does to me, and in fact it's the historical and intertextual evidence of Jesus which serves as a beginning point for me rather than do the Cosmological or Ontological arguments.

................I just had to throw that out there, even though I know it will lead to a Null Discussion (i.e. no further discussion).

Click to expand...

It's who Jesus was said to be and what he is said to have done might be considered evidence for God. Not simply the fact that He existed.
