Ironically, my veins are arranged like luciferian, pagan, and runic symbols on my right foot. Some people say I'm only seeing patterns that don't exist yet, I don't see these vein patterns on other parts of my body. I used to play World of Warcraft is how I'm familiar with occult and pagan symbols. Some of the demons and characters in the game have occult and pagan symbols marked on their bodies.

Sometimes at night, I see superimposed in my vision people doing pagan dances/rituals in the forest. I see them in both the visible and infra-red spectrum. I feel like a monster stalking those people in the forests. I don't feel spooked by it. The fact it doesn't bother me seeing those visions is what bothers me.

Seared conscience. Friends and acquaintances and hundreds of others who tell them not to worry, it's okay, everybody does it, so it's okay !!!

The "man" I was citing, was a (supposed) believer who still struggled with sin.
His conscience would certainly be affected by sin.

So you want to see a reemergence of the "American outlaw" style of rock music... by having a rebirth of British Psychedelic rock? lol

Perhaps Iggy Pop, the Ramones, or the MC-5 would've been better examples to use for that

Sure, absolutely! All great bands.

Elon is not in this for Trump. Thats for sure. It will be Musks visage carved into the mountain.

Musk wants some government help. Financial possibly. Red tape cut perhaps. Government contracts guaranteed. He whispers in Trumps ear: 'Space force...'

He'll get what he wants and they'll name their heavy booster after him and maybe change the name of the mountain in his honour. You heard it here first.

No one took Jesus' Life.
He laid His Life down willingly for those He was sent to save from their sin.

Of course not—after all, the Chronicles of Narnia were not written or published in chronological order, and people love prequels as well as sequels. If you write the story you want, and fill in the pieces as you go, I think it would create a better reading and writing experience.

That’s true they weren’t. Though it’s been renumbered chronologically, Narnia fans still prefer to read them in publication order. The first 4 books are original stories, the 5th is a midquel or side story, the 6th is a prequel, and the 7th is a sequel.

Prequels have been very popular (even in Hollywood now), so it should not come as a surprise.

We'll be dismissed for that, this and the other thing no matter what.

Honestly, when you combine this ...weird salute, weird and unnecessary... with his support of far right German parties and that extra special MAGA hat, I can't help a little "hmmm". Maybe a hmmm, meh. I would prefer "it" not to be true, but I am reserving judgement.

Yeah, I would prefer to be wrong about this.

The AfD is hardly far right.

There is oneness in this Body, 1 Corinthians 12:

What is the Body of Christ in 1 Corinthians 12?

This Body of Christ is a spiritual reality. We are born of the Paraclete. Jesus sent the Paraclete to dwell in us. Every believer with the Paraclete is a member of this Body of Christ, which is not a fleshly reality but a spiritual one. It is not the visible physical church. The Body of Christ is the true church existing in the spiritual realm.

Christ is the head of this church, Colossians 1:

The invisible Body of Christ is expressed visibly as the church. Every believer who has the Paraclete dwelling in him is a member of this spiritual church.

Ephesians 1:

Metaphorically, we play different parts in the body of Christ. Some are eyes, ears, nose, hands, feet, etc. (1 Corinthians 12:12-20).

No single institutionalized earthly visible church/denomination is the true church. Everyone born of the Spirit is connected to the organic Body of Christ as a spiritual reality in oneness. The Body of Christ is the true church as a spiritual organism.

Which denomination do I belong to?

Just wondering:

I would suggest you have multiplicity bodies. Only the Catholic Church is of Christ. Is it true the Paraclete that tells varying "truths" to varying bodies, none of which is the same? If all the other churches have same truth then why are they not the same church?

Did Christ send a fickle spirit bringing all manner of things to mind? Or, does He send us One Truth, One Faith?

Isaiah 29:1-2 Woe to you Ariel! Ariel, the city where David settled. The years roll on and you carry out your festivals. Yet, I shall reduce Ariel to dire straits. There will be suffering and sorrow, when I make her My fire altar.
Ariel – is a pun on the Hebrew word, ‘har’el’ = the Temple burnt offering altar. In this prophecy, it refers to Jerusalem and all the State of Israel. Ezekiel 21:1-7, Isaiah 22:1-14, Amos 2:4-5, Jeremiah 12:14

Isaiah 29:3-4 I will encompass you and besiege you with the visitation of My fiery judgement. You will be brought low, you will hide underground, your voice will whisper out of the earth. The survivors in Jerusalem will shelter in underground bunkers. Isaiah 31:5, Isaiah 6:13, Isaiah 37:31-32

The Lord’s judgement/punishment of the nations, by fire from God’s storehouse, Deuteronomy 32:22,34-35,41-43, will be an explosion on the suns surface, Isaiah 30:26a, Isaiah 66:15-16, Malachi 4:1, Hebrews 10:27, 2 Peter 3:7, Revelation 6:12-17

Joel 2:1-11 Sound the alarm! For the Day of the Lord’s wrath is coming. As the sun rises, a vast host will appear, the like has never been known. It advances in a devouring fire, behind is a leaping flame that leaves a desolate wasteland. Nothing can escape it, nothing can stop it and as it strikes, the earth quakes and the heavens thunder. Who can survive that dark and terrible Day?

Isaiah 29:5-8 But, your enemies will become like dust, those ruthless hordes, like blown chaff. Suddenly, in an instant, punishment will come from the Lord Almighty, with earthquakes, thunder, storms and a blaze of devouring fire. All the nations warring against Mt Zion, will vanish, as a dream, like one who is hungry or thirsty; then wakes to find himself empty, so it will be with all those nations attacking Israel. Malachi 4:3

The fire judgement on the Middle East, striking ‘in an instant’, will be a Coronal Mass Ejection: a sunstrike of unprecedented magnitude and is the next prophesied event we can expect, it is the Day that will ‘come as a thief’, sudden and unexpectedly. Zechariah 3:9, Isaiah 10:17 It is quite a different event to what is described about the attack and destruction of Gog or of Armageddon, both to come later, respectively.

Psalm 83:13-18, Isaiah 34:5, Isaiah 30:25-28 & 30, Ezekiel 30:1-5, Zephaniah 1:14-18,

The regeneration of the Middle East: Isaiah 35, Ezekiel 36:8-12, Amos 9:13-15

Isaiah 29:17-21 In a very short time, the Land will be made prosperous again. On that Day, the deaf will hear and the blind will see and the lowly and poor will exult in the Holy One of Israel. The ruthless and evil peoples will be gone, all who practice falsehood will be cut down. Isaiah 66:12-17, Psalms 107:1-43, Jeremiah 33:12-13

Isaiah 29:22-23 Therefore, these are the words of the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, about the House of Jacob: [now: every true Christian believer] This is no time for you to be ashamed, no time to be frightened, for his descendants will praise My Name, when they see what I have done for them. They will stand in awe of the Holy God of Israel. Reference: REB, NIV. Some verses condensed.

Christian Israelites, all those whose names are written in the Book, Malachi 3:16-18, be they descendants of Jacob or grafted in, will be gathered into the Land, ”in a very short time” after the Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath against the nations Ezekiel 20: 34-38, Isaiah 11:11-12, Jeremiah 30:18-24, Rev 7:9

We will agree to disagree.

South Dakota lawmakers have introduced a bill that would require public schools to display a copy of the Ten Commandments in classrooms, comparable to a measure passed in Louisiana that is being legally challenged.

Senate Bill 51, which was introduced last week and primarily sponsored by Sen. John Carley and Rep. Phil Jensen, would mandate the display of the Decalogue in public schools.

“The board of a school district shall display the Ten Commandments in each classroom in each school located within the district. The display must be a poster or document that is at least eight inches by fourteen inches,” reads the bill.

We all need reminders. But what are children to be reminded of if PARENTS do not teach them the Ten Commandments....easy way to start...

The TEN COMMANDMENTS

The South Dakota Legislature follows other states in proposing a bill to post the Ten Commandments in schools. We all need reminders. But it seems the only time folks talk about the Ten Commandment…

I doubt a truly good person who gives of themselves even if it costs them dearly and without desire for recognition for the fact, might even be recognized in a world that sees goodness in a different way.

Trump has also called for eliminating the cap on the state and local tax deduction, or SALT, which Republicans used to offset some of the cost of the 2017 tax law. Unless Congress acts, that cap — $10,000 for both single and married filers — will expire in 2025. That could add an additional $1.2 trillion to the cost of a Trump tax bill, according to CRFB.

Trump now backs repeal of Trump cap on ‘SALT’ deductions, says New York Republican. Taxpayers in these states could benefit.

That’s according to statements by Rep. Mike Lawler, a New York Republican who has led the charge within his party to repeal the $10,000 cap on deductions on federal income-tax returns of state and local taxes paid.

The SALT cap is estimated to increase federal revenues by about $1.2 trillion over 10 years, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget — but it’s a tax increase that hasn’t sat well with Republican lawmakers, among others, from high-tax states including New York and California, as well as Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois and others.

Lawler introduced legislation during the last Congress that would have lifted the cap to $100,000 for single taxpayers and $200,000 for married fliers, which the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimated would cost the Treasury $920 billion over 10 years.

We all knew that, right from the get-go. Joe had no idea where he even was, half the time---

It’s way above Joe so even if he knew where he was it would still get done. It’s an international leftist/criminal movement to use various means, especially environmental and financial, to take down Western/Christian civilization, the leader of such being the USA. That international leftist movement is beginning to be halted and reversed by Trump. Things are getting very interesting.

brassica · Jan 22, 2025

Those threads were very interesting. I think that the parallels between Christianity and other non-Christian religions can be used for outreach and common understanding. A lot of the same basic morality in this world is shared between everyone but humans love to reinvent the wheel…

Jo555 · Jan 22, 2025

Not sure if this is the right category to put this in, but after watching all the talk after the inaugural address, I'm concerned that things may start getting uglier than it already looks.

So, in my attempt to "Make America Beautiful", as far as i can do my part, i wanted to post this link below in the hopes that whatever side you find yourself on in politics and human rights, that we don't dehumanize each other. First and foremost we are all flawed humans in need of a Savior and his Light. I won't be joining in on any discussions that may follow as those things take time and i have some priorities in my life these next couple weeks, but if a discussion does arise, i look forward to sharing later if i feel the need arises.

May we also find it in our hearts to lift this nation, and others, up in prayer.
