Gregg Abbott Says "Antisemitism Will Not Be Tolerated in Texas"

What do the liberals feel about protests and rallies by white supremacists?
I think the people involved in them are... not good people, but I'd like left-wing protests to be treated with the same sort of respect and consideration as the right wing groups.

Amusingly, I think this disparity is the strongest case I've seen for the argument that being armed is a legitimate tool for curbing government abuse. The 2A Meal Team Six crowd thinks their kitted out AR's will enable them to fend off the regular military when the feds come to round them up - a scenario that's preposterous for many reasons. But what seems to be more likely is that the threat of being armed is enough to keep local riot cops from getting too aggressive. There's no downside to them attacking some blue haired hippies, but some strapped good old boys could put up a real fight.

That's assuming the cops didn't agree with the right-wing protesters, which... lol.

Failed climate predictions from false prophets

Climate does and has changed a lot in this world.
The point is that climatologists accurately predicted the warming trend and its primary cause. And the changes will have consequences. In the short run, there will be winners and losers. In the long run, it will be a hard lesson for humanity.

The recent changes are not something that warrants giving up meat and destroying economies
They don't warrant putting up boogeyman fences,either. Can we go back to reality for a bit? It's very unlikely, in the next few decades, that we'll not have enough feed to produce meat. And while the economies of many nations, such as the United States will be adversely affected, it's unlikely to "destroy" them. You'll do much better when you come back to the real.

There are also voices from science that question the causes of the trend.
Early on, they were denying the trend. Now that which they denied is observably happening,they switched the story to "well, O.K., it's happening, but it's not CO2; it's (the sun, cow flatus, Martian dust storms, BLM, Al Gore's SUV, etc.)"

You seem to think that people who do not accept the opinion of some scientists (while dismissing the opinion of others) means we are 'deniers'.
People who deny the consensus of climatologists (as you learned,the great majority of them knew even in the 1970s, that warming was coming) are by definition, deniers. Denial is what deniers do.

That is a misuse of English language.
Well, let's take a look...

denier

noun

  1. One who denies.
    "a denier of a fact, or of the faith, or of Christ"
  2. A small copper coin of insignificant value.
  3. Person who denies something.
The GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English

Have you considered the possibility that the English language is right and you are wrong?

I have no guys.
You seem to be constantly touting the small minority of scientists (most of whom are not climatologists) who denied that warming was on the way. So yes, your guys.

Your guy was one voice in many and in that many, many were wrong.
As you learned, even in the 1970s, climatologists had overwhelmingly realized that the trend was toward warming. Your guys had it wrong.

But calling it thirty years in advance is predicting, not prophesy.

And calling it wrong was also predicting.
Unless they did so for religious reasons. Then it's prophesy. As you probably know, many cited their religious beliefs in denying that the world was warming.

We take the prophets as a whole, not pick out one that guessed the trend for possibly the wrong reasons.
All of your prophets seem to have gotten it wrong, although at least some of them turned out to be on payroll of an agenda. Would you like some examples? And as you learned, almost all climatologists got it right.
Show the science that rules out solar activity and all other causes?
It doesn't. It's just that carbon emissions happen to be the largest factor now. We went through a solar minimum recently. Normally, that would cause colder climate. But it was unable to reverse the carbon-caused rise; it' only moderated the rate of warming. Now, we're entering a solar maximum. That's not a good thing.

And as I mentioned the melting of the permafrost would release huge amounts of methane, which would accelerate warming, conceivably becoming a bigger factor than CO2. I can see that this is not something you've spent a lot of time studying. It's worth taking a good look at the literature to get up to speed.

Ok you refused to answer the questions. Why?
Yet for us, there is One God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live;
and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

Donald Trump indicted by Manhattan grand jury

I'm aware. Though he did testify that Cohen told him that Trump would not be happy with him when he said he wouldn't pay for Clifford's story - which suggests that he was planning on telling Trump (or at least was threatening to). Again, it's about establishing a pattern of behavior. If you make it clear that Trump was told about other similar situations, and that he wanted to hear about them, then that helps back up Cohen's (potential) testimony that he told Trump about Clifford as well.
This is something he should have been fined for, like Hillary.

Free will and determinism

From the link:

'In short, we can liberate ourselves from destructive emotions, such as anger and disappointment, by developing a capacity to choose how to interpret and evaluate the situation...'

It doesn't say that you can choose your emotions. It means that you can reinterprate them as an unbidden, and and often negative reaction and accept them as being something you cannot control. As he goes on to say:

'This cannot be accomplished simply by an act of will, by wanting them to go away.'
Good try to bury the lead of the article but nope. The article concludes:

"By exerting free will, a person expands his or her options and freedom."
Just extrapolate.
Another good try but no can do. Extrapolation, as any good statistician knows, can with some confidence extend an existing trend line into the future but can never disclose a novelty that does not exist in the actual data used. Evidence of mitigation cannot be extrapolated to include elimination.
Whose posts are you reading?
Yours.
I've never said I don't feel like I have free will. I said just the opposite. It feels exactly like I have free will. Everyone feels the same. It's the very reason why it's so difficult to the convince anyone that it doesn't exist.
? Then kindly give us your rational argument that free will does not exist.

I'm OK that you may feel like you're not in charge of or responsible for your acts but if you are to convince others (we are in a debate forum) you must have an argument.

Adam

  • The Y chromosome, which distinguishes males from females at the genetic level, originated around 180 million years ago.
  • Initially, the X and Y chromosomes were identical, but over time, the Y chromosome started to differentiate from the X in males11.
Science or Time magazine Adam and Eve began 180 million years ago. I think this is the Male and Female we read about in Genesis chapter one on day six of creation. From a OEC perspective. The Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden lived 6,000 years ago. This was not symbolic because they had children and the Bible has the generations all the way from Adam and Eve to Mary. Either Science or Bible both were common ancestors.

Science also tells us that she could have come from His bone marrow. There is a lot we do not know or understand. Science does confirm what we read about in our Bible. Just how Eve came from Adam and Jesus came from Mary we are still working on understanding.
Hi Diomond7 thank you for your reply but I have read that you can't use a woman in genealogies so the genealogy breaks down with Mary.
Both of the Adams father is God he brought both Adams into the world so a genealogy would have to start and end with God.

Love and Peace

Absolute proof.. can't deny.. the earth is flat

No, even you must be rational enough to expect SpaceX to know enough to not to simply fly a rocket to the supposed firmament in full speed before the eyes of the public. After thousands of satellites, dozens or hundreds of rocket tests etc.

Try to think a bit before posting the first random thought you got.

Galatians 6:16 Evaluated

I would say it goes both ways. Remember, it was the Jews who first persecuted the believers, their fellow brethren. It still lingers today with the ADL’s attempt to dominate the Goyim who avow “Christ is King.” To this day, Jews disown their own family members who avow Christ.

As I said, the northern tribes mixed with the Gentiles to become Christians with more regularity than the Jews. Christ is the cause of the enmity between the two kingdoms.

And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. (Zechariah 11:13-14)​

I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. (Romans 11:11)​

Matthew 27:1-10 maintains Zechariah prophesied the first advent. The jealousy persists until Christ returns.

Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand… And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. (Ezekiel 37:19, 21-22)​

The body of Christ commences the joining of the two kingdoms, which is consummated when Christ returns. In essence, all Israel shall be saved (Romans 11:26); it is finished when Christ returns; it doesn’t begin as dispensationalists believe.

God did not replace his people as Supersessionists believe, and neither did he stop feeding them as dispensationalists hold. Everything is fulfilled exactly as the prophets predicted.
The NT reveals that the body of Christ, the church is, and always has been, God's plan for his one people.

Galatians 6:16 is the only verse that is used to prop up the teaching/Doctrine of Supersession.

Let’s evaluate its context...

May peace come to all those who follow this standard, and mercy to the Israel of God! From now on, let no one cause me trouble, because I bear on my body scars for the cause of Jesus. Brothers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Galatians 6:16-18 - Bible Gateway passage: Galatians 6:16-18 - Holman Christian Standard Bible

Paul immediately separates those he’s addressing in this salutation from “the Israel of God”.
The "Israel of God" (in contrast to the "Israel according to the flesh," 1 Co 10:18) is the
1) new creation (born again), including believing Jews (v. 15, Ac 13:32-34, 1 Pe 2:9); i.e., the NT church made up of believing Jews and Gentiles (Gal 3:16),
2) new seed of Abraham and the heir according to the promise (Gal 3:29; see Ro 9:6, Php 3:3).
In all of Paul’s gentile letters, he binds circumcision with Abraham.

The issue here is that Abraham wasn’t of the Body of Moses... (Jude 1:9). And for the record, please evaluate Jude 1:9 as Satan is contending for “THE BODY of Moses” with Michael (Defender of Israel, per Daniel 12:1). The context of Satan contending over the corpse of Moses is beyond ridiculous. This is just one of many references to the Tribes of Jacob/Israel (Not Abraham) being called the people of Moses.

If Israel is bound to Moses... which Scripture affirms, even in John 1 and beyond... as Jew and Gentile, saved by the DBR, are bound to Christ, as Ephesians 2 SPECIFICALLY states... why now does the doctrine of Supersession appear, IMO, to ignore painstaking efforts on the Apostles parts to maintain that Israel is Israel and the BOC is the BOC?

All perspectives welcome.

Will This Planet be Destroyed?

There are no other verse supporting Job 26:7 to be translated this way.

Hang which is the Hebrew word teleh

Means to hang, suspend, or support by actual contact. never to hang on nothing: thus, to give a few instances/examples

Genesis 40:19 Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head from you and hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”

Psalms 137:2 We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it.

Ezekiel 15:3 Is wood taken from it to make any object? Or can men make a peg from it to hang any vessel on?

Job 26:7 using (supporteth the Earth upon fastenings (foundations))." is supported by other areas of The Bible as a few times God states in The Bible, the earth is set upon foundations.

Job 38:4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.

Job 38:6 To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,

Psalms 104:5 You who laid the foundations of the earth, So that it should not be moved forever,

But the word belimeh wrongly translated "nothing" is the crucial word. Our translators appear to have derived it from the noun blee, signifying consumption or desolation, and the pronoun meh, who which what, but the meaning "nothing" drawn from these words, seems to be very far fetched. Hebrew is a very ancient language, to all probability the most ancient of any, and this being the only place in the Bible where the word belimeh occurs, it is, of course, difficult to test the meaning. I have myself, however, not the slightest doubt, that Parkhurst is right in deriving the noun belimeh from the verb belem, to confine, restrain, or hold in, so used in
Psalm 32:9 Do not be like the horse or like the mule, Which have no understanding, Which must be harnessed(belem) with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you.
and that belimeh simply means "fastenings," or "supports," and this interpretation exactly agrees with what JEHOVAH asked Job a little farther on in

Job 38:6 To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone

So verse like Job 38:6 support Job 26:7 to be translated from the Hebrew as
"He spreadeth out the North over the desolate' place (the abyss of waters), and supporteth the Earth upon
fastenings."


And not, hang on nothing, as there is no other verse supporting this "hang on nothing"
What other verses support Job 40:15?
Are you saying that every scripture in the Bible must have some reference to it, elsewhere?

"Hanging on nothing" is the same as "not being supported or held up by anything".
Persons familiar with hanging, will use the very familiar term with people who are very familiar with the term, as your quotes shows.
Similar to when Jesus use feeding - eating his flesh and drinking his blood, because the people were familiar with these terms, and it was actually foremost on their mind.

The word usage "hang" does not lend support to an argument on its usage, in that text.

Also @d taylor , thanks for showing that the word used in Job 26:7 is far different from the one used at Job 38:6.
The word fastened taba: to sink, sink down cannot be used to replace belimah: nothingness.

How Easter was used to replace the Sabbath

Thats, of course, your reading into it.

As Peter was said to not follow Jewish traditions but living more like a Gentile or as Paul said nobody needs to keep any days, so also John did not need to worship on the day you would like him to just because of his ethnicity.
Do you hear yourself? Peter was rebuked for following Jewish traditions. Traditions being the operative word. He wasn't rebuked for following the law of God. Here's what Paul said about Jewish traditions,

Phillipians 3: 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

Paul, as Saul, consented to the murder of Stephen so the law he refers to here could not be the law of God. Your understanding of Paul's writings are deeply flawed. Does the law of God countenance murder?

Acts 9: 1 AND Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

Did God stop the plague before or after David's offerings?

2 Samuel 24:

25 And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then the LORD answered the prayers on behalf of the land, and the plague upon Israel was halted.
Did God stop the plague before or after David's offerings?

Let's trace the context:

15 So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.
God knew exactly the start time and the end time.

16 But when the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” At that time the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
God ordered the angel to stop at the designated time. That's the vertical reality. Now, the horizontal reality continued:

18 And that day Gad came to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” 19So David went up at the word of Gad, just as the LORD had commanded.
David had to perform an act to complement God's order to the angel.

So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 25 And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then the LORD answered the prayers on behalf of the land, and the plague upon Israel was halted.
At this point, the vertical and horizontal realities converged.

From the vertical point of view, God ordered the angel to stop. From the horizontal point of view, God ordered David to offer sacrifices. Both were necessary to halt the plague.

Did God stop the plague before or after David's offerings?

In terms of space-time, God stopped the plague before David's offerings.

This is my explanation in terms of Co-Reality.

"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."


Light = Electromagnetism.

Both electric and electricity are derived from the Latin ēlectrum (also the root of the alloy of the same name), which came from the Greek word for amber, ἤλεκτρον (ēlektron).


Ezekiel 1:4
"And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire."
