Day 8 - 2/9/26

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, we call upon you as Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, and Comfort to the Afflicted.

You know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Deign to cast upon me a look of mercy. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a sanctuary whence you dispense your favors, and already many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and physical.

I come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession. Obtain, O loving Mother, the granting of my requests

(mention request here…)

Through gratitude for favors, I will endeavor to imitate your virtues that I may one day share your glory.

O Mary our Queen, from heaven itself you came to appear to Bernadette in the Grotto of Lourdes! And as Bernadette knelt at your feet and the miraculous spring burst forth, O Mother of God, we kneel before you today to ask that in your mercy you plead with your Divine Son to grant the special favor we seek in this novena.

O star of purity, Mary Immaculate, Our Lady of Lourdes, glorious in your assumption, triumphant in your coronation, show unto us the mercy of thy Son. Virgin Mary, Queen and Mother, be our comfort, hope, strength, and consolation. Amen.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.

Saint Bernadette, pray for us.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Ave, María, grátia plena,
Dóminus tecum.
Benedicta tu in muliéribus,
et benedíctus fructus ventris
tui, Iesus.
Sancta María, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.

That whole argument is a thinly veiled strawman. I don't see anybody suggesting they have their own reality.

what happens when Jesus Returns, has nothing to do with the cause and effects of the Lords Day of vengeance and wrath.

He (Jesus) treds the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God. Revelation 19:15

To execute the vengeance written, this honor have all the saints. Psalm 149:9

Malachi 4:3-4
The wicked shall be ashes under your feet in the day that I do this says the Lord.

A fire devours before them....
And the Lord shall utter His voice before His army. Joel 2:4 Joel 2:11

The rest were slain with the sword of Him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded from His mouth. Revelation 19:21

The army in Ezekiel 37:9-10 is the same army of Joel 2:11 and Revelation 19:14-21. The great army of the Lord, an army of resurrected and made immortal saints, from the four winds.
There is no rapture, there is resurrection into that army. It happens in the twinkling of an eye.

Behold the Lord comes with 10,000's of His saints, to do doom upon all flesh. Jude 1:14-15

We saints are caught up into the air, the clouds, not heaven, the literal sky, the air, just as Paul said. And from the air we will view the vengeance unfold and have part in its execution, being part of the Lord's army.

The sun is not outside of the sky, how did they get a signal with pictures back from the Parker solar probe? From 90 million miles away getting a signal back should be impossible. They were able to send a probe and get images back because the sun is right where we see it, not extremely far away, and not outside of the sky.

The sun rejoices as a strong man to run a race, it's circular path encompasses all the expanse of the sky, and nothing under the sky is hid from the heat of it. Psalm 19

And no man has ascended up beyond the sky, except He that first came down from beyond the sky, even the Son of man which lives beyond the sky. John 3:13

The office of the beast has installed the lie of a globe and sun outside of the sky. Just as the Bible says, he speaks lies about what is outside of the sky, and things related to the stars.
Daniel 8:10-12, Revelation 13:6

The idea of a CME is based on science given by the beast. What the Messiah will do on His day has no 'scientific' explanation. It will be a day of great miracles. All righteous Israel will be gloriously resurrected, all sincere believers will be gloriously changed and all together caught up into the Lords great army for that day.

And the Lord will utter His voice before His army. Joel 2:11 Literal divine fire will come out of His mouth. Revelation 19:21

Looks like they are going to make some money. That will help them to keep their job secure if they are able to bring in money like that.

I don't know why you should think that God's Justice does not require the "punishment" of ungodly people?

As for how the Bible defines the "Kingdom of God," it is not just a general sense of God's Justice. It has a much more technical definition as applied to the hope of Israel, along with the hope for the world.

Abraham was promised a family of faith consisting of the Israeli nation, along with many other nations dedicated to God. I suppose them all to be Christian nations, ultimately, even though Israel has not yet achieved that.

Once these goals are met in the Millennial Age I think the Kingdom of God will assume a completely different form, when the mortal passes completely into immortality.

God’s justice does require dealing with the ungodly, but Scripture shows that His justice is bigger than simple punishment. It’s the way God removes evil, protects the righteous, and brings creation back into alignment with His covenant purposes. The Kingdom of God isn’t just a general idea of fairness—it’s a technical, covenant term tied directly to the hope of Israel and the blessing of the nations promised to Abraham.

Abraham was promised a physical nation (Israel) and many nations brought into the blessing. That promise hasn’t been fully realized yet, but the prophets describe a future age where Israel is restored and the nations walk in God’s ways. That’s the Millennial Age, where the Messiah rules, justice is immediate, and the covenant promises reach their earthly fulfillment.

Once those purposes are complete, the Kingdom shifts into its final form. Mortality gives way to immortality, the old creation passes, and the New Heavens and New Earth begin. At that point the Kingdom of God is no longer tied to mortal nations—it becomes fully eternal.

The Barbarian said:
President Donald Trump travelled on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's private aircraft "more times than previously has been reported", according to newly unsealed documents relating to the disgraced billionaire financier.

One trip allegedly included only Trump, Epstein, and an unidentified 20-year-old woman as passengers aboard the plane. Trump's name appears hundreds of times throughout another set of files made public by the Justice Department.

These latest disclosures emerged just one day after Trump faced questions about the documents, prompting him to make a statement regarding Bill Clinton.

The email further implies that Trump may have journeyed alongside women who could potentially serve as witnesses in the prosecution of Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

The message states: "For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case."

Specifically, he is recorded as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights where Maxwell was also aboard.

MSN

Looking forward to the whole Epstein data to come out and implicate the whole mess of creeps, Democrat, Republican, or other. And yet my fear is that enough powerful people will manage to smooth it all out and the sheeple will forget about it.

Would you be willing to see the demise of rich and powerful corrupted Democrats if we could get all the rich and powerful corrupted Republicans out too? Or do you just want to do what complaining you can about Trump? I'd happily see that boor retired ASAP but I have no pretentions that the rich and powerful

I don't like the "socratic method" because it basically just assumes that there is a correct answer and everyone already knows that correct answer, you just have to guide them towards it with leading questions. In reality, people will not just change their viewpoints when you point out logical inconsistencies, they are more likely to double down because of cognitive dissonance. Chalking this up to dishonest debating is in itself dishonest because everyone is prone to such faulty thinking.

It's also very lopsided in it's approach, since if one uses the socratic method, they just interact with the other person's viewpoints without putting their own thoughts "out there" to criticise and correct.

This might be an okay approach for a teacher-student setting or something both sides are completely dispassionate about, but it neither makes for fair, fruitful nor engaging debates.

Bless your heart. Aussie and UK swearing nomenclature is very similar; I would have a punt-o it was not dunno.

There'd be nothing added. A reference to Trump is generally a very brief, monosyllabic epithet.

Bible Highlighter said:
While technically there are four aspects of salvation (Provisional Atonement, God’s grace, Sanctification, and Glorification - See here) there are only two aspects of salvation we as believers need to be primarily concerned with in this life.

For the Bible teaches:

1st aspect of salvation:

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

2nd aspect of salvation:

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14
13 “…God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel,…”

This is not Calvinism by any means. Man has free will to either accept or reject God, but this happens when God illuminates the truth to a person at the right time or times in their life (Under the drawing of Christ and the conviction of the Spirit). For even Lydia’s heart was opened to understand Paul’s message. In other words, a person cannot believe without the working of God in their life to make that happen. But a person will know of the truth at the right time God chooses them to know the truth. It is up to the individual if they accept or reject the truth (See: 2 Thessalonians 2:10).

But there is only two steps we need to be concerned with (According to the Bible).
Grace and Sanctification (Which are by faith).

Side Note:

We are washed of our sins when we are first saved by God’s grace.
But we must be washed a second time.

Leviticus 13:58
”And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.”

Revelation 7:14
”And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”

That's quite a long list of requirements for salvation, it's almost like trying to memorise a Microsoft excel formular. The gospel message is very simple, believe on the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved.

Do you know how to read either language without relying on another person's translation? And if getting to the source was a priority why haven't you learned?

What religion wants has no bearing on my walk with God nor is proving them wrong a necessity. The fruit will tell in time. There should be little disconnection between what we know, do and produce. Each ascension brings a greater level of anointing and authority and flows outward. How is the kingdom enriched by your efforts? It seems very self-focused.

~bella

Even with just the English translations, the Devil fights, wages war for his worldly kingdoms. Jesus said those of the light do not. Jesus keeps giving clues on who the Devil is.

I've shut myself to the poison of the Devil. I'm not going back to something I've known most of my life. The heaviness is just more unbearable than even poverty or even being single for a very long time.

I've lived a comfortable life before and even able to travel for work but I'm not missing it at all. I now remotely work for Christians who are quite well off even have their own farm. Working for them gives me joy but I don't dream nor covet the things they have. I'm happy for them. It gives me joy to see them happy. Wish I could tell them what I know now but glad there's quiet voice out there if they're willing to listen to it.

They're marrying left and right but I feel absolutely no pressure at all. Maybe my circumstances prevent me from pursuing relationships but I might actually feel just the same if my circumstances are different.

Ofc, back then being comfortable meant quite differently. I did not lower my standards like I'd settle for something less of the same things. My desires changed. My mind changed. I don't want the same things any longer.

I think the coming generation is heading this direction too. I don't really know, just a hunch. Ofc, many are not Christians (non-religious) to begin with.

In another thread Can AI teach me cosmology at applied maths undergraduate level or even post grad?, ChatGpt-5's knowledge of cosmology was assessed at a tertiary level.

In the following video the Professor Phil Moriarty puts ChatGPT-5 to the test with a second year physics exam on quantum mechanics which it passes with flying colours and outperformed most students.
In Australia and the UK on line university examinations have become quite common where AI can be used as a cheating tool.

We are born again by believing into the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. We were raised together with Him. He is the head, we are his body.

1 Peter 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Ephesians 2:5-6
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; )
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

John 3:15-18
15 that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
18 The one believing into Him is not condemned; but the one not believing has already been condemned, for he has not believed into the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Have you given up on your solar event, depopulation of current Israel, and replacement nation built by Christians migrating to the land of Israel ?

That particular scenario would take many years for a rebuild.

No, a CME is the only thing that will literally fulfil all the Prophesies about the Day of the Lords fiery wrath.

Many Prophesies say the Land will be regenerated quickly and how the Lords peoples will take over the houses that remain.

Have you given up on being beamed up to heaven yet?
THAT idea is the weird and impossible one.

The court may say that , it has been a liberal talking point but just the fact of the multiple fake voter registrations in Fulton Co. proves it is not so. The failure to match signatures on thousands of ballots as required by GA state law is just more evidence that a free and fair election did not happen.

You're confusing voter registration with actually voting, Two different things. And moreover with a variety of judges slapping Trump et al claims of voter fraud around in court it's not just a liberal talking point. It's reason why the Trump lawyers making such claims in court had been sanctioned and now disbarred. It's one thing to make claims in front of a landscape company across from a porn shop, but courts expect more than just right wing lunacy come claims.

Is Trump having more difficulty ~~ruling~~ governing, as he ages?
Yes, definitively, it’s a tough job for someone half his age.
He’s “slipping”, he’s a human being, after all.
Will he exit the Office for the good of the country, (should it come to that, which it hasn’t), or will he cling onto this sweet, sweet power?

Decisions, decisions.
