Some smeculate that mark of the beast will be social credit system. One reason I disagree with this is because it doesn't force compliance. It simply penalizes people for lack of compliance. So, if someone has low social credit, would they go to hell for still being registered in the system? Or will they go to heaven because its low? Now, if the mark of the beast is "high" social credit, as opposed to social credit as such, this would be a problem too because what counts into social credit is not only Christianity but also things like not jay walking, not being delinguent on loans, etc. So, in order for it to be the mark of the beast, it shouldn't be a total score but, instead, just a religion score. So as you see it quickly gets complicated.

A more extreme version of the theory is that, for non-compliance, they turn off the chip entirely instead of simply lowering social credit. This theory has some problems too. First of all, if they turn off someone's chip, would they still go to hell for having a chip on the first place, or would they go to heaven becausd it was turned off? If they still go to hell, then it no longer has to do with actual compliqnce. If they go to heaven, thdn it becomes the opposite to the scenatio we all fear. The real scary scenario is when the government tries to force us to get a chip. But here its the exact opplsite: we are the ones who wojld be trying to convince the government (through our behavior) that they should keep our chip on; and then if we ever want to repent off of having a chip, all we have to do is not comply, they turn it off, and we are on our watny to heaven. Yes, it would mean starvation, but the good thing is that said starvation can be postponed by us making a choice how long to wait before we disobey, which takes away the whole dread of irreversibility of taking the mark.

Now, here is the theory that i propose instead. Microchip will "not" be "evaluating" our behavior. What it will do instead is "influincuing" peoples behavior by sending pulses to the brain. Scientists discovered that there is a region in the brain that is responsible for spiritual experiences. So, by sending pulses that would stimulate that region, microchip can create new spiritual experiences. For example, it can cause people to go into meditation state similar to Buddhism and accomplish world peace this way. Or it can cause people to have spiritual experiences when they see the image of the antichrist, and so forth. Since those experiences are not congruent with Christianity, people will go to hell for having those. And they will not be able to repent of them because now we are not talking about social consequences but, instead, we are talking about biological influence on their brain. And, in this scenario, instead of turning off the chip, the antichrist will turn it on to even greater power: whatever is needed to alter their mind.

I also think that people that will take the microchip on the forehead will have more powerful spiritual experiences than people that will take it on the right hand, since forehead is closer to the brain. Yet, even taking it on the right hand will still cause spiritual experiences that are powerful enough to lose salvation. So, when people will be faced with beheading or starvation, and wont be strong enough to refuse the chip in light of this, they will choose to take it on the right hand, and, to make themselves feel better, they will tell themselves that at least they arent taking it on the forehead. This is reminiscent how right now people are taking biometric documents and are making themselves feel better that they aren't taking a chip (I will be honest: I took some biometric documents, but i amat the stage where i have to renew them and I am procrastinating about it) So, today, people take biometric documents and tell themselves at least they dont take the chip, and tomoffow they will take a chip on tveir right hand and tell themselves that at least they arent taking it on tve forehead. On the other hand, others, who were deceived into thinking antichrist is christ, will gladly take it on the forehead.

God always sees what we humans cannot always see, for he can look into the hearts of human beings, and he can see what goes on behind closed doors in secret that us humans can’t always see. He knows and he sees and he hears the secrets of people’s hearts and their evil schemes and the things that are being done to us behind our backs which we cannot see. So God always knows even when we don’t know the evil being plotted against us.

Now he may not show us everything, but if we ask him, he may show us some of what goes on in secret of which we may not be aware, because he doesn’t want us to be deceived, and he doesn’t want us putting our trust and hope in other humans who cannot save. I know that I was blinded to a lot of things in my younger years which, over the past 20 years, the Lord has opened my eyes to and has made me aware so that I am not deceived.

So, how did he make me aware? He led me to read many different news articles and opinion articles and other people’s writings and historical records and such, in combination with where I was reading in the Scriptures, to show me what was going on with the US government and military, and with the institutional church, and in other nations, which included our government and military and their activities in these other nations.

This was at a time when the internet was more wide open and where it was easier to access particular information, and when it was not as locked down as what I believe it is now. But actually, a lot of this truth is coming out in various ways, even by the mouths of our own government heads, for they can now feel free to reveal some of the truth, for they are convinced that they have sufficiently brainwashed the people not to believe the truth.

But he does not want us to be deceived, and that is why we need to pray for wisdom and discernment so that we don’t end up believing the lies while we reject the truth. For with regard to the government, they brainwashed the people (not all people) that when they hear certain key words or phrases to automatically respond with “conspiracy theory,” and thus to shut our minds off to the information and to reject it without even praying about it and without seeking the Lord as to whether the information is true or not.

And the same trick has taken place within the institutional church, too, that when we hear certain words or phrases that we are supposed to automatically respond with “works salvation” or “replacement theology,” and thus to completely shut our minds off to what is being said and taught, even if what is being said and taught is absolute biblical truth being taught in the correct context. And all this is called “mind control.”

And a lot of this “mind control” takes place via television and movies and advertisements and social media memes and music and song lyrics and videos and cartoons, and via pastors of church congregations who are regurgitating what they learned in seminary or in their church growth or church planting training seminars, or in their marketing books on how to grow their churches and to draw in large crowds from the world.

So it is of critical importance that we test everyone and everything we hear or read or think we see, for deception abounds everywhere, and anything can be faked these days and photoshopped to make it look one way while it is something else entirely. So we must not close our minds and our hearts to allowing the Holy Spirit to show us what lies we are believing, and what the real truth is, for if we don’t, we are ripe for being deceived.

So, don’t put your trust in other humans to be your saviors from anything nor to tell you the absolute truth about everything, either. Lies and liars abound everywhere we look these days, including within the gatherings of what are called “churches.” But be seekers of truth and righteousness and ask the Lord to show you if you are believing any lies or if you have been brainwashed about anything and if you are being deceived.

Then put your trust solely in the Lord and in his word, but study the Scriptures in their context, and compare Scripture with Scripture to make certain that what you are believing is the truth and not Satan’s lies. For we live in the last days before our Lord’s return, and deception is definitely increasing and becoming much more prevalent. So pray, pray, pray to be wise and discerning and not to fall for Satan’s tricks.

68 year old tourist killed by LA tourist at Newport Beach, CA. The tourist was a 68 year old tourist from New Zealand and her unharmed husband will return home alone. You don't believe in demonic spirits? You haven't visited LA!

‘To hell with these guys,” Mayor Will O'Neil of Newport Beach said. “They came into our city, knowing that they were going to commit crime, and a woman is dead today because of it.”

I'm waiting for a ruling on whether or not I'm allowed to post within the For Christians Only sections of the forum.

I would describe myself as being on the very outside edge of Christianity (with sceptical doubts about supernatural claims), but I still see value in the Christian story and traditions.

Am I welcome here?

I strenuously struggle With the idea that belonging in Christian community Is dependant on believing the right things.

I never thought the day would come when the sane LGB people would open their eyes to the reality of modern day LGBTQIA+ agenda and community. I have seen this movement for equality slowly morphed into the debauchery it is today. Back in the day I was sympathetic towards their cause. Rightly so because they were denied the full rights and dignity to life. Then acceptance became compliance. Tolerance became mandate. The oppressed became the oppressors.

I lost all respect for the movements some time back. This can't be the end result I would always tell myself. This can't be the monster people say they were. And yet each day I was proven wrong. Time and again I see the monster I had supported. I wonder where were the people who once appealed to my sense of justice and fairness. Now I get to see them again. And I'm glad they now see too what I see in the modern movement.

The movement is too far gone that now the people who initially started it are now unwelcome. Called phobic and racist. They should have never let the fringe into their movement to begin with.

The Hebrew expression "son of man" (בן–אדם, i.e. ben-'adam) appears in the Old Testament 103 times. Most of the time, the expression refers to a plain human. Psalm 146:

3 Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

That's not Messianic.

However, Daniel 7:

13 “I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven, there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.

The above is Messianic.

Here, the "Son of Man" is linked to Christ, the Son of God, and possibly the great IAM.

The title implies one descended from man; but as this Person is spoken of as being “like” one of human descent, it follows that He was not merely a man. The early Jewish and Christian interpretations that this is the Messiah are confirmed by our Saviour’s solemn appropriation of the title to Himself (Matthew 24:30).

In the NT, "the Son of man" occurs 77 times in the four gospels. It was Jesus' favorite title to refer to himself. Mat 16:

13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Here, "Son of Man" is linked to Christ, Son of God, and possibly the great IAM.

Matthew 24:30

“Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory."

Is "son of man" a Messianic title?

Yes, when it is applied to Jesus as prophesied by Daniel.

Hey Freddy Clark will be at a church, Living Christ Family Center at 9am July 21 in Fredericksburg, PA. It is only 25 miles from Harrisburg, I am going to go! If you need a healing get down there! Everyone that Freddy prays for is instantly and miraculously healed, 100%! Something crazy might happen, I went to his meetings last summer and he told me my IQ was going up, then when I got back home and logged into my online Master's program I noticed my mind was sharper, I could do my work better! Also several people who had contacts took them out and no longer needed them! Another man was healed of cancer! Stuff like this tends to only happen at his meetings. If this is within driving distance it would be worth it to take a road-trip and get a hotel room and come!

Here is the "MAKE MY DAY PAL" -- misdirect

Posturing yes! Possible no!
The "emperor has no clothes " is a problem that can't be solved with posturing, bluffing , bragging, faulty memory...


from that May 23 article above --

"After Biden taunted Trump to acquiesce to a match, the former president quickly responded that he is ready to “rumble.”

How well did gas lighting work for the guy "sharp as a tac" and "on top of his game"?? (supposedly)

Now lets see the MSN article in July after the debate address. Notice what it calls Biden's "desperate bid to save his rel election"

MSN: biden-wages-desperate-bid-to-save-his-reelection

==============================

Hmmm it appears that simply tossing around "Dirty Harry" memes is not "enough" to actually win an election any more. How "surprising".

This is a classic case of "emperor has no clothes"

But WORSE - it is a clue that certain media outlets were joining together to gas light the public about the reality of the declining status of a key American leader.

How sad -- at least for some.

How long do you think they will "pretend not to see"??

"These individuals were deported by the order of a court after they were afforded all due process rights," said former ICE chief of staff Tom Blank. "For DHS to arbitrarily reverse court orders to satisfy complaints from an activist group makes a joke out of the entire legal immigration process. It looks like outside activist groups now run the DHS immigration process instead of the courts."
Both current and former ICE officials expressed alarm about whether this program will be a model for others in the future. Should any outside activist group threaten a lawsuit about migrant mistreatment, they said, the Biden administration may choose the path of least resistance and simply return the asylum seekers.
Joe claims all he really needed was for the Republicans to pass the "bi-partisan" bill. How many times will people fall for such malarkey?

Earlier in life, way earlier I got into worship music. I even mentioned the name Jesus to a friend, and tried to enter a church. Was denied. I then continued to try and focus on Jesus and listen to worship music.
I was torched in the end, fell into oblivion.

I later blieved that christ has poured his spirit onto me years earlier almost making it impossible to not follow him because God was so loud in me it was impossible to mess up, other than sheer rigorous intentional disobedience.

I'm now trying to learn more about Jesus and call on him. It just feels a slap in the face the way things happened earlier in life. Why didn't he hear me when I called upon his name? And also tried with best of intentions to follow him. So many bad things happened after that.

Was I supposed to show some sign of humility, or maybe word my verbal callout different? It's driving me crazy lately.

It's kind of sad that I feel like I have literally no outlet to just scream through when I have the same kinds of conversations with my dad. I've already said so many of the same things here. It's one of those nights again where I think I incurred some incremental brain damage having to listen to what he said.

It's not that I have absolutely no other outlet but at the same time, I can't just randomly text people the same way I can just randomly type stuff on the computer.

Welcome to 1984

I don't mean merely drop out of his re-election campaign, I mean straight up resign the Presidency. That would leave us with President Kamala Harris. There's murmurings out there that this could happen in the next twenty four hours.

The Committee on the Judiciary, its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the
Federal Government, and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have revealed how, in
the final weeks before the 2020 presidential election, 51 former intelligence officials coordinated
with the Biden campaign to discredit serious allegations about Biden family influence peddling.1
In issuing a public statement using their official titles, these former intelligence officials sought
to cast an explosive New York Post story and Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop as “Russian
disinformation.”2 President Biden even cited to the statement in a televised debate with President
Trump shortly before the election to accuse President Trump of leveling false accusations.3 As a
result, the explosive allegations about Biden family misconduct were buried and millions of
Americans cast their votes for president without a full set of facts.

The 51 former intelligence officials’ Hunter Biden statement was a blatant political
operation from the start. It originated with a call from top Biden campaign official—and now
Secretary of State—Antony Blinken to former Deputy Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
Director Michael Morell. The Committees’ investigation revealed that without this outreach from
Blinken, Morell would not have written the statement.4 Indeed, Morell told the Committees that
the Blinken phone call “triggered” his intent to write the statement.5 The statement’s drafters
were open about the goal of the project: “[W]e think Trump will attack Biden on the issue at this
week’s debate”6 and “we want to give the [Vice President] a talking point to use in response.”7

The details as revealed by the Committees to date are concerning enough, but as the
Committees have continued to investigate the origins of the Hunter Biden statement, new
information has come to light. Through newly obtained internal CIA emails and testimonial
evidence, the Committees have uncovered more information on the extent to which the
intelligence community was involved in the statement. Specifically, the evidence shows:

ok so il try to sum this up to keep it short as possible. I am a wife and mother of two boys ages 2 and 4, stay at home mom working on a master's degree online, and homeschooling my older one since last year. ive been married almost 5 years. Im 32 years old. I have always disliked how my husband takes long getting out of work. he wrks in IT from home. the past 3 year especially i have hard an extremely hard time, felt so utterly lonely and neglected emotionally because he stays at work late. well, in january this year my husband was diagnosed with ADHD, he got medication and i felt like all of the conflict with him taking so long to finish his work was over. It was good for about a week and then he started just being too focused and overzealous with work trying to "make up for lost time" and being an extreme over achiever with no promised raise or promotion in sight... so its all just for him to feel better. within the last 2 years i went from being super upset at him leaving late, begging him to prioritize me and our children to try and get out on time, I then worked on my anxiety and i worked really effortfully to respect him and just pray about it and let it go. i was able to chill until around 5:30 I would get really upset again . (his shift ends at 4:30). So, i would complain and be that horrible nagging annoying wife just begging him to in tears to do SOMETHIGN to get out earlier. it never changed one bit. then i stopped complaining. I let it go and i would only get super aggravated when he would (often) just on his own tell me "dont worry baby il be out very soon" and not get out till 3 hours later... around 7. or often he would also make promises over and over constantly letting me down and i told him so many times to JUST STOP PROMISING FALSE THINGS. i told him i can deal a lot better with setting my expectations of him getting out on time very low, rather than be given false hope and being fed lies meant to reassure. I became SO bitter at him for this. eventually, for the past 2 months, even if he made a false promise, I stayed quiet. I set my mind to the fact that he will never be out on time. I completely stopped askign when he will be out and comepletely stopped telling him how much it hurts feeling alone parenting the kids. and since i stopped, he is now at a consistent record late time of about 8:30 every single day..... so from 7:30 to 8:30pm.... im alone with the kids. he used to help during nap time and give me that rest, now he doesnt. he works, but half the time he is on youtube or on random forums in chat groups talking about music, or just playign guitar in his room, or just in the bathroom for hours on his phone. I have stayed quiet and my kids MISS their dad. i MISS him. I feel so neglected. every saturday i hope that he would want to do somethign with me and the kids, but he always says he wants his "autonomy" and prefers to stay home and have his freedom... I respect that and just say OK in the nicest way possible, but its almost like a routine now on saturdays on my way to the car i hold in my tears and then just cry in the car trying the kids not to hear me. i feel so utterly alone. Sundays, after church, i hope for some time together, but he wants to sleep or he just complains endlessly about not having his time. I cant believe how neglected our family is and I know he loves us but this is SO WRONG. he says he is "workign hard to provide" but we want his presense... his eyes... his ears... his smile.. his arms to hug and hold us and love us and just be interested in me and the kids... even when he says "ok fine lets do what YOU want to do" all bitterly, he sits in the couch and complains about me to no end or if hes in an upbeat mood, he says "im going to clean up the kitchen, you just relax and stay with the kids... but again he just does anything to escape being with us. it hurts so freaking bad. i feel so dam alone. today was a breaking point because our son have a bible club to go to and its kinda far so he said he will do his best to make sure he gets out on time so we can all go togeher. i get back from the park, sweating from 100 degree weather, straining my back with the weight of groceries i carried WITH my two kids up 4 flights of stairs all alone jsut to find him singing recording music for fun on his laptop... I guess i might as well just mentally prepare to go it alone tonight as always. I tried telling him that his family needs him and i feel like a single parent SERIOUSLY. i feel so underapprecaited, so unloved and unwanted, and all we get from him is anger and bitterness EVEN THOUGH he has saturdays to himself away from us at home, and Monay-Friday 13 hours in his room doing his own thing. I JUST wish he would WANT to spend time with us. this is killing me. im not going to talk to him about it cuz he doesnt listen to me. he doesnt think it matters. he just tells me to be quiet all the time and to just get out of God's way. i get that. but ive let it all go and its never been THIS bad for THIS long. im so so so angry and SAD at the same time. i just feel so alone.. i feel hopeless that he will ever care to spend with us. *sigh* thank you if you read this whole thing. please pray for me and my children and my husband. i know God will carry us through this but... how do i get through this difficult time?? thank you all in advance. please give me your opinions, any feedback, advice for what i can do to not feel so bad.. thank you.

(OSV News) — Catholic activists criticized a recent announcement by Indiana’s governor that his administration would seek to resume the use of the death penalty in the Hoosier state after obtaining the lethal drugs used to carry out executions.

Krisanne Vaillancourt Murphy, executive director of the Catholic Mobilizing Network, a group that opposes capital punishment, told OSV News that it has been “15 years since Indiana’s last execution — a hiatus brought on in part because of the state’s struggle to purchase lethal injection drugs.”

“Like many other states, Indiana has been met with difficulty in procuring lethal injection drugs after the pharmaceutical companies which provide them have opted not to have their products be used to kill,” she said.

Statement from Gov. Holcomb and AG Rokita​

Hi everyone, something interesting, I have noticed this- I live in Dauphin county, PA, it is in central PA near the state capitol Harrisburg. Cumberland county is just to the southwest. I have noticed something about Cumberland county! There may be a good spirit that is from God that is over Cumberland county! I have been down there many times and there is a very pleasant atmosphere there, the whole county is peaceful! There is a big difference in the atmosphere in Cumberland county vs the Harrisburg area!

5583 days (15,3 years) of growing in total. This is a compilation of some of my favorite videos I've done in the last 4 years, in no particular order. Many more to come! About 30 minutes.

As a follower of Jesus, I believe in treating every human being with civility and grace. And to be quite specific, I believe in loving my LGBT neighbor as myself. At the same time, because I care for the greater good of society and believe that God’s ways are best, I oppose many of the goals of LGB activism. That’s why I was glad to see a much-more diminished version of Pride Month in 2024. The pushback, which I have been expecting for years, continues to grow.

Last year, things were so over the top and in your face that the longtime gay ally Piers Morgan asked, “Have we gone rainbow crazy or is pride month more important than patriotism?” And in response to a challenge from a gay comedian, Morgan answered, “I’m not triggered by a rainbow flag. I’m triggered by the fact that everywhere that I go for a month everything has to be a rainbow flag.”

Last year, things got so extreme with Target’s “tuck” bathing suits for males who identified as females (including children) that Joe Rogan commented, “When I go to Target, I don’t wanna see like [expletive] tuck pants. They’re designed to help you tuck your [expletive]. Like, hey, that’s not normal.”

Last year we were also in the thick of the Bud Light boycott, with Rogan calling the so-called “transgender influencer” Dylan Mulvaney “a confused person.” As for Kid Rock, he let his gun do the talking (before adding some choice expletives).

Already, by the end of last year, Kid Rock had softened his stance, saying that Bud “‘deserved a black eye and they got one’ for the partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, but then added he’s over the boycott. ‘So, do I want to hold their head underwater and drown them because they made a mistake? No, I think they got the message.’”

It would be hard to miss a message that cost you more than one billion dollars.

Target got the message too.

This is not the first time that Biden's Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, has had to work with a "doomed candidate". She penned an article in Salon back in 2020 talking about her time working on the John Edwards' campaign.

It would seem she has had plenty of training for this moment.

The Republican candidate said in a rally that inflation is at 30% (it's 3%) and that solar-powered planes couldn't fly in the dark.

Commercial drones, including those used in the military in our defense, are hybrids or solar-powered with battery packs.

A solar drone with a battery pack can go as long as 25 days. With a larger battery it could conceivably go indefinitely.

They are silent and efficient. Commercial planes are being researched.

Is this man, who invents facts based on ignorance abd prejudice, competent to be president?
