Why? The statement in Acts 3 has nothing whatsoever to do with the 70th week.
If you insist, alright then.

True, we know about Trump's preference with regard to soldiers captured versus uncaptured.That's gotta sting being below the flag of captured people.
You are the one saying Christians should not resist violence. You have acknowledged Christians have been murdered and it is not too far a stretch to suggest they have witnessed murders as well. If your moral system cannot address this scenario it is insufficient.I trust that He won't allow it in front of, me so I have no need to consider your question.
Not having read it from a Christian perspective doesn't preclude me from knowing anything about it.
Do you know that Muslim Arabs did slave raids into Europe where they captured Christian women and brought them back to their countries to be sold into Harems for Islamic rulers? Do you still think no Christian woman was subject to rape?Not much, besides it being a mostly an East African/Indian ocean blight.
There is plenty of info about it on the computer, if you need to know more.
I am not here to serve the rich, but the poor. I am living comfortably and have enough money. Sometimes hungry homeless people walk by me and ask me to help them with food.
What is the best way I can help? I have bought a homeless person some Mcdonalds fries before, the worker at Mcdonalds asked me to stop doing that because I will attract more homeless people to their location. So I'm not 100% sure, should I just give them a address to a soup kitchen?
What the Senate Dems should do is reopen this negotiated bill, add a DACA solution, funding for The Wall, perhaps back off financial support for asylum seekers and try to get it passed through Congress.I would be shocked if he did. After all, he had the GOP Senators kill a bi-partisan border security bill that would have provided DHS more resources. You see, hiring more DHS staff just doesn't sound as exciting as sending the 82nd Airborn to man our borders....it's all a show.
LOL!I really think this is a key in this grace thing, because I never seem to have more power than when I come to the end of myself and ask God to do things for me. It is always painfully slow, and laborious, and tedious, and things drag on... until I give up and ask for help. lol (not just ask, but give up my "independence" fiasco)
Without us being weak, I think this kind of empowerment is impossible. Like the Book says, Moses was extremely meek, and simultaneously the one God uses to literally destroy Pharaoh and the entire Egyptian army.
I personally feel Moses had "come to the end of himself" in a very perpetual and permanent kind of way.
Well I guess when Lord Jesus gives you the Crown of Life, then He will have a toe ring. lol....
Looked good to me also, however he will be 80yrs old in June of 2028 with a presidential election in Nov 2028?Considering his age, he’s relatively healthy?
I’m only praying for safety in the days aheadYou mean the woke rioters looting and burning? That’s what they like to do. But it’s a little too cold for them right now.

That is right !Pursue, To Lay Hold Of Eternal Life
1 Timothy 6:
11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which
you were also called and have confessed the good confession
in the presence of many witnesses.
Imitators Of God
Ephesians 5:
1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
Walk In Love
2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us,
an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
Walk In Light
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
Walk as children of light
9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),
10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
Walk In Wisdom
15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord.
Walk In Edification Of Others
Romans 14:19 Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace
and the things by which one may edify another.
Walk In The Prophetic Spirit
1 Corinthians 14:
1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God,
for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.
4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
Follow After Perfection In The High Calling of Christ
Philippians 3:
12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on,
that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward
to those things which are ahead,
14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
dioko [G1377] to pursue, and be pursued G1377 - diōkō - Strong's Greek Lexicon (kjv)
1 Corinthians 1:30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God
and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.
Pursue these things and the God of Peace Will Be With You
Romans 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
When I first installed a free software many years ago, I read the legal terms and conditions carefully. Then, at the end of the document, I click "I agree." These days, I rarely read it before I click "I agree." I assume that the terms and conditions are similar to what I had known before.
Does it bother me to click without reading the legalese first?
No. However, if it bothers you, it is better to read first before agreeing.
Yeah, you could barely see her.I thought the hat was plenty stylish. But it hid half of her face.

What do you expect when you chase them?
