This conclusion simply does not fit with the many effects Prophesied. even the details in Zechariah 14, do not describe the immediate result of a nuke explosion. Radiation sickness takes time.Nuclear weaponry most definitely
This is so nice and colorful with pretty designs!I thought I'd blow the dust off this thread and post here again since it has been almost a year!To celebrate Christmas season, I thought I'd share a design of mine that was originally made for a calendar that I gave as a gift to my sister last Christmas. It features my two characters, Vanille and Lacage, wearing wintry outfits and holding a plum pudding cake. I drew the characters myself, but the background was designed using Canva, a graphic design program.

well, no you didn't. and, don't seem to want to, as everything in the text is a physical thing people do. lots of folks get baptized. some as infants. some even turned into serial killers.I answered your question.
I answered your question.and yet.. you didn't actually answer the most important question:
or do you mean people become christian by being born again? (baptism of the heart through the transformation power of the Holy Spirit)
The department also announced the launch of new digital "America the Beautiful" passes, which will allow Americans to buy and use their passes on mobile devices ... The new passes also feature Trump's face, according to People
and yet.. you didn't actually answer the most important question:I think I was pretty clear when I said THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
1. It doesn't matter what it is to me.
2. It doesn't have to be only on the Catholic Church
3. Full immersion, where do you get that requirement?
4. The words are important, just as Christ commanded
5. Christ gave us the words, it is therefore imperative.
No, that picture was taken last year in the Red Sea shooting at an unmanned Houthi drone boat filled with explosives. I was the Weapons Officer on that ship as a lieutenant. I am now a lieutenant commander and the Navigator onboard a ship down here. For some reason, they don't want us taking or posting pictures so I had to go with an older one.

This is about BRICS...he probably right on the underlying motive....Trump already floated the idea of keeping the tanker's oil.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil
“The true reasons for the prolonged aggression against Venezuela have finally been revealed,” Gil said. “It’s not migration. It’s not drug trafficking. It’s not democracy. It has always been about our natural resources.” Trump’s objective, he said, “has always been to take Venezuelan oil without paying anything in return.”
It's strange how they're already repeating one of the major mistakes that cost Democrats the 2024 election.Possibly not.
'That didn't sit well': Trump's own rallygoers reportedly 'disappointed' by latest speech
"He's saying that the economy is roaring and doing well, but at the same time he's preaching austerity," said Geist. "Buy less for your children, buy less for your family this Christmas, and you don't have to take it from us people. At the rally, Trump supporters interviewed by MS NOW, by NBC News, by The New York Times said prices are too high and they're disappointed by what they heard."
"Remember ... this was supposed to be a rally about affordability," Geist continued. "This was supposed to be to reframe the debate about affordability and acknowledgment that Americans are paying too much for their lives, that they need help from this administration. And he immediately goes on the stage with a banner that says lower prices behind him — which is not true, inflation is where it was when Joe Biden left office — and mocks the idea of affordability."
I think I was pretty clear when I said THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISMyou need to define these terms better so people don't ague about it.
1. It doesn't matter what it is to me.what is baptism to you? is it a cerimony performed in a church? is it only in a catholic church? do you have to have full immersion? does the pastor have to say all the words correctly? what if he forgets to say one of them?
Oh, yes we are talking right now, in America. About your "EU", and we're beginning to wonder who's the bigger threat... Russia, China, or the EU.
We won't understand the gospel unless we first understand that, with or without regard to the law, whether or not one has even heard the law, one cannot be and remain a murderer, adulterer, theif, etc and still expect to enter heaven.You’re merging multiple “laws” into one thing. Paul doesn’t treat “Law,” “Mosaic Law,” “Decalogue,” and “New Law” as interchangeable. He distinguishes between the law of works, the law of faith, the law of the Spirit, etc. Flattening them into a single category is a post-biblical move, not a textual one.
The idea that the Ten Commandments = natural law = permanently binding isn’t a biblical argument. Scripture never isolates the Decalogue as the “moral law” distinct from the rest of Torah. That’s a later Christian framework. James 2:10 actually warns against dividing the Law into keepable vs. non-keepable parts.
Galatians 3:24 is used selectively. Yes, the Law was a tutor. But Paul’s whole point is: "Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the tutor" (v. 25). You can’t use v. 24 to argue ongoing obligation while ignoring v. 25.
Jeremiah 31 doesn’t say God will write the Ten Commandments on the heart. It says “My law,” and explicitly contrasts the New Covenant with the one made when Israel came out of Egypt i.e., Sinai. The New Covenant is not just Sinai internalized.
“If you love Me, keep My commandments” doesn’t refer to the Ten Commandments. In John’s Gospel, Jesus’ “commandments” are His own teachings, especially His new commandment to love as He loved (John 13:34-35), not Moses’ commands.
Paul repeatedly calls the Sinai covenant a ministry of death and slavery (2 Cor 3; Gal 4). So saying the Commandments are “paths to freedom” needs to reckon with Paul’s language. He explicitly locates Christian freedom in life by the Spirit, not adherence to written code (Rom 7–8; Gal 5).
Most of your argument depends on the Catechism, not Scripture. If the question is “What does the Bible say?”, the Catechism can't settle the issue by itself. The NT nowhere says the Decalogue survives as a uniquely binding law code for Christians while the rest of Moses doesn't. the OP may present a well-accepted Catholic interpretation, but biblically speaking, it assumes distinctions the text doesn’t make and ignores the parts of Paul that undermine the conclusion. The NT’s moral vision is grounded in the Spirit and the law of Christ, not a selective continuation of Sinai.
Eternal torture, without mercy and without hope? Infinite punishment for finite crimes? That's isn't justice, that's simply cruelty for its own sake. The doctrine paints God as a monster, pitiless and infinitely cruel, condemning the majority of those He created to literally endless torture. No "Father, forgive them" anymore. it's "burn baby burn!" That's what y'all teach.Why would you imply that God's justice makes God a monster?
Muslim countries where Christians are persecutedI won't share polling data or personal anecdotes; I'll share the actual statistics I posted in #68.
In USA there are 300 Full time Islamic school. compare to
Bangladesh-91% population Muslim vs 0.30% Christian. yet Bangladesh has over 1500 Christians schools and colleges.
Pakistan: 96% Muslims and 1.6% Christian. Pakistan is known as the country of Islamic extremist. yet Pakistan has over 450 Christians schools and colleges.
Malaysia : 64% Muslim vs 9% Christian , yet Malaysia has over 400 Christians schools and colleges.
Similar story in other country.
These statistics are consistent with my four decades of volunteer experience at Christian schools and hospitals in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and other Muslim-majority countries. Furthermore, I believe that approximately half of the Christians participating in this forum belong to churches that support American missionaries, doctors, and educators who serve in many of these schools and hospitals.
The argument that Muslims are inherently intolerant and, therefore, should not be given opportunities in America is not supported by either my personal experience or by the factual evidence on the ground. My observations, drawn from years of involvement in Christian educational and medical institutions across Muslim-majority countries, directly contradict this narrative. The statistics I have shared further demonstrate that, despite being in the minority, Christian communities in countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Malaysia have established and operated hundreds of schools and colleges.
It appears that a country guaranteeing religious freedom in its constitution faces more challenges opening Muslim schools in Alabama than Christian schools do in Muslim-majority Dhaka, Bangladesh.
I like I’m just a girl, even though I’m not a girlOne of my favorite bands growing up was No Doubt. I had watched one of their music videos earlier this week - Simple Kind of Life.
I wasn't sure if I was able to post the video or not since there's a scene where Gwen Stefani is topless but has hair covering up her breasts. So I'll post the audio version of the song to be on the safe side.
