Should Christian Nationalists gain true power, pretty soon it’d be limited to the “correct kind of Christian”.

It being the dead of winter didn’t have nothing to do with this stat?D.C. went three weeks in 2026 without a homicide as violent crime drops
The president, police chief and D.C. Council members all say they played a role in reducing crime in the city. The reversal is in line with national trends.
There is no question that the crime drop has been dramatic in large cities that have fully cooperated with the Trump administration, such as Memphis and New Orleans.
Thank you. It almost sounds cult like to me. I’m just glad there are those out there that know more of the background to this group. I had never heard of them before.I visited their site quite often when I was finding my way back to faith, around 2016. I was trying to understand where Flat Earthers were coming from.
In those days they ran "courses" - series of articles with a quiz at the end. They were useful for gathering all the biblical "FE evidence" together. I remember there being courses on prophesy - Revelation, Daniel, and other topics. They were very keen on home churches, the writings of Ellen G. White, and something they called the Creator's Calendar - for calculating a Sabbath that reset every lunar month. I don't remember anything about Jesus not being God, that might have spooked me.
Most of their stuff didn’t take root with me, but my Faith in Christ strengthened, Glory to God.
I seem to remember there being some connection to an Asian businessman. Not Kim Dot Com, but I don’t remember a name. Critics at the time were saying the site was bankrolled by him as some kind of retaliation against the SDA. I don't know the truth there.
The amish have it wrong, as do you.Again, according to you; the Amish believe that even photographs of people are violations of the commandment against images. How could you justify your preferred kinds of images to them as not being condemned by this commandment? There's no record in the Bible of God commanding the creation of the likeness of a person. One could then argue that generic images of angels or plants might not be idols, but a picture of a specific person would still be condemned.
The point here is not to get into the weeds about arguing against a hypothetical strict Amish iconoclast, but to show that your definition of "idol" is arbitrary, or more specifically, circular, because you start with the assumption that images of saints are condemned by this commandment and then use the part about bowing down as your rule for what is and isn't an idol, so that what you want to be condemned is condemned, and what you want to be allowed is allowed.
This is great advice!!! From the wise words of Jesus himself.My advice. try not to get too bogged down with 'theology'.....try to have an active relatinship with god, as opposed to following the law/theology.
The law killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
These are the commandments jesus says to do. you do this, and you will follow the 10 commandments.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
Yeah it was a major blockThose things were just getting in your way. Blocking you. It’s a quick solution, but sometimes we need help. Forgive him, thank, it’s over. You not fake just following as best you can. The past is done when we repent.
In any event, after poring over thousands and thousands of pages and documents on the subject, I can confidently say that, generally speaking, the conclusion one comes to regarding the Society has, ultimately, little or nothing to do with Canon Law or the historical facts.
Growing up as a boy in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, there were nine Latin and three Eastern Rite parishes in our town. Most had bells, which meant they rang the Angelus at 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m. Every December 31, at midnight, they pealed to welcome the new year. And there was one other custom that involved bells: the passing bell.
The Catechism, following Dei Verbum, lays out three principles for reading the Scriptures “in the same Spirit by whom they were written” (CCC 111-14). Because these three principles immediately precede the account of the three spiritual senses (CCC 115-18), we ought to let them govern our use of the spiritual senses and act as a guard against whimsical or arbitrary interpretations, thereby keeping us within the richness of the Word.
A model on President Trump’s desk showing a new monument across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial was photographed on Thursdayduring a meeting in the Oval Office with Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb.
The arch bared a resemblance to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which was built to commemorate French military victories and those killed in French military service.
According to the AFP news agency, the model was “virtually identical” to a design shared in the ‘Donald Trump for President’ Facebook page in September. The Facebook page suggested the monument could be built to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, which takes place in 2026.

Doubleplus goodthought!The State Department is removing all posts on its public accounts on the social media platform X made before President Trump returned to office on Jan. 20, 2025.
The posts will be internally archived but will no longer be on public view, the State Department confirmed to NPR. Staff members were told that anyone wanting to see older posts will have to file a Freedom of Information Act request, according to a State Department employee who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by the Trump administration.
Accounts for embassies, ambassadors, bureaus affected
The State Department directive applies to all the department's active official X accounts, including accounts for U.S. embassies and missions, ambassadors and department bureaus and programs, according to screenshots of internal guidance seen by NPR. The department has used its posts on X and other social media sites for years to share everything from policy announcements and speeches by the secretary of state and ambassadors, to fact sheets for travelers and images from around the world.
'Marco Rubio has always been Secretary of State.'
I would love to believe that.In that sense, then, you have met God...whenever you have heard that He loves you...
I do egg bites by whipping the eggs and adding my seasonings and cottage cheese and stuff, then putting it into a greased brownie pan.Egg bites or sheet pan eggs with cottage cheese. You can blend it and add it to pancakes/waffles as well or make your own protein powder to have on hand. There's recipes for online.

It’s very nice to see that the Administration is open about its on-going viewpoint discrimination policies.![]()

A good move. Harvard has not had the best and the brightest for a long time.
You might be asking the wrong people.I need counsel. I have a husband in Texas. Our relationship is rocky and has caused me great harm. We had decided on divorce but never got the papers signed in time. It is important that we get divorced. He has cheated on me and I don't want to be in the relationship. I have a mother who lives in Missouri who I can stay with, although it's in a really remote area and she is pretty controlling. She is in need of deliverance, and I am too. The devil has been attacking my life through this marriage and it's gotten to the point where I have a bad gut feeling pretty much all the time. It's been this way for over a year, where I just have a bad gut feeling. My husband has been talking about not wanting to be alive and I'm worried he will harm himself. I know his life is unhappy because we are in a toxic marriage right now and it will get happy again. I am from Colorado and want to live there again, but I don't have much money right now. Should I move to Colorado and trust God to provide, should I move to my mom's where she can help me out, or should I be in Texas and maybe find an inpatient counseling center or mental hospital? I hear voices and know I have some demons. I cant live with my husband, I have tried that before but he has repeatedly kicked me out every time I tried. I am currently staying at the Dallas airport (I flew in from Missouri because I was staying at my mom's. I flew down because my husband lost his job and I was trying to help but I realized it's not a good thing for me to do given my own situation and having an unsteady job). The police have noticed that I've been here a few days and are threatening to arrest me if i don't leave. I'm not sure if I should stay here or go to my mom's or go to Colorado. My life has not been this messed up since I married this man. I've always had a place to live, a job, a car, no legal trouble, no big finance trouble. My life has been hell since being in this marriage.
God alone is truth; sin is anything that contradicts God. Why separate the truth into four parts? There is only one truth because there is only one God.The bible calls four things truth, God the Father, God, the son, God the Holy Spirit, and the word of God.
Satan runs this world for now (Eph 2:2). Since he is the father of lies, one would expect the world to be filled with every imaginable deception. Most deceptions are designed to appeal to the flesh (greed, pride, fear, laziness, etc.)
The path to grow closer to truth lies in transitioning from the flesh to the Spirit
I felt fine it was only temporary. I thought’s other be. Now something else about 40 years later. I was depressed, low energy, anxious. That’s why they gave it to me. Starting a new job, it helped.I feel amazing. im more present, it truly lifted my depression anxiety
How do you feel off of it?
Toward the beginning of time, humanity wanted to make a name for itself. If the truth be told, when I went off to college, I wanted to make a name for myself. I wanted to be famous for God. But did I want God to be famous in me?“Then they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.’ And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. And the Lord said, ‘Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech.’ So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.”
