So you hope. The logical ending to that is that you don’t know. But you posted a verse that says that all will be saved because who can dwarf Gods will . If no one can dwarf Gods will then all will be saved so you are indeed espousing universalism. Not a biblical position.

What an interesting dilemma you find for yourself. Colo Millz position is, he hopes all men will be saved, that includes you. You insist not all men will be saved, so you hope you yourself will be saved; so the logical ending to that is that you don’t know either. So the way I see it, you should hope that the hope possessed by brother Millz is fulfilled because his hope is big enough to include you, but your hope is barely enough to include yourself. His heart is unselfish and aligns with the heart of God. Your heart is selfish and self-centered, which aligns with, well, your heart.

Faith. Hope. Love. These three, but the greatest of these is love. Why? Love. Never. Fails.

Would you like to encounter a person like that?

"that immediate reform to the H-2A program's minimum wage policy, or the AEWRs, is necessary to avoid imminent widespread disruption across the U.S. agricultural sector."

It seems that you didn't read where I reported what I observed. When is this "imminent widespread disruption across the US agricultural sector" going to happen? It hasn't happened so far I haven't seen indications that anyone is planning for imminent disruption. It wouldn't disrupt peanuts planting and harvesting, or field corn, or wheat, or rye, or oats; or hay. The closest you get to migrant labor here are teams of combines that used to be a thing in the Midwest and maybe still are. Migrant labor is used for onions; for blueberries; for watermelons; for cantaloupes; for pretty much any crop that has to be thinned or picked by hand. And that is where the watermelons i told you about come in. This afternoon road by fields of greens of various types and which don't do well in hot weather, so they had to be in the ground less than a month. So, if this is imminent, why was it planted in the first place? Why not wait a little while and go with rye or winter wheat, which doesn't require migrant labor.

For that matter, if this is imminent, why are migrants still here locally? Either they are all nationalized citizens (a distinct possibility) or they have their visas, for they haven't gone back home.

It's one thing to find a news article online about something; it's another to see every day what the reporter who wrote the article may never have seen in his or her life.

Don't believe me? Fine. Just know that what I see every day doesn't agree with the claim in the article.

Perspective from God's Word is best. Agree or disagree, God's Way is Best for each and all
> "The statement "what is of the flesh is flesh and profitable for nothing" reflects the teaching found in John 6, where Jesus declares, "It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing". This means that human nature, in its natural, sinful state, cannot achieve spiritual life or eternal salvation on its own. The "flesh" refers to human power, self-effort, and physical existence, which are incapable of generating spiritual life. Jesus emphasizes that His words are not to be understood in a literal, physical sense, such as eating His literal flesh, but rather as spiritual truths that bring life when received by faith. The flesh, in this context, symbolizes human weakness and corruption, which cannot benefit the soul in its quest for eternal life."

Christians believe iron sharpens iron and the wise man loves criticism. That does not mean any particular Christian or group or way of thinking is correct, does it ?
We are instructed to accept God's Judgment (appraisal, determination, view) as correct and to agree with Him.

You just don't get it, all the issues have been addressed ad nauseum and this latest serving can be described by an analogy.

I ask you what the time is, you respond by giving me the history of the downfall of the Roman Empire. I repeat what is the time and you give the same answer and so on.
You are adamant I didn't ask you what the time was but it was about the Roman Empire.

Because your questions are red herrings. You claimed the researchers did not measure these vases in 3D and they did. You are finding faults that are not there.

I told you you need to put your complains to the researchers and you keep blaming me. I am only relaying their work. They state in plain english that these tests are in 3D and the results show high precision on par with modern machings.

Do you deny that this was not their conclusion. Then you make ad hominems against them which no formal review would do. Give me a break. If you really want to get my attention then put your complaints in writing to the researchers and not me. I cannot take some social media complaint seriously. Especially over the researchers who at least have done the hard work and formerly published it.

More name calling and fallacies. This time and either/or that is reduced to posionous name calling and considers no other option. Let me just say that it is not just my position but that of many. It is the position of the culture themselves. So your tarring a lot of people who are expressing a disagreement with you.

sjastro said:

Either way it doesn't involve personal attacks, it is based on your behaviour in these threads.

Click to expand...

No its personal attacks. No matter what you think of others who hold different beliefs or opinions to you personally attacking their credibility and character is wrong fullstop. I have not stooped to this even though I disagree with your opinion.

You have to consider my position. I have two different groups making claims. I am not an expert though have logic and commonsense and can understand the clear words that are said in videos and articles. They clearly state that the methods are good and the data is properly gathered. They clearly state that some of these vases including those with good providance are in the precise class on par with modern maching.

Heck they even show me live tests with the numbers popping up on the screens before my eyes. They even show me images of what looks like modern machine marks inside the vase. Which alone shows me it was a pretty sophisticated lathe.

On the other side I have someone who says they know what they are talking about on a social media platform. They may very well know. But they are name calling and deriding the researchers. They have not done tests or any formal analysis and published the findings or supported the objections.

Who am I to believe has more credibility. At the very least I have several experts who are saying the same thing and independently repeated the findings in a number of ways. On the other a lone person who is complaining about all this. Would any rational person take the word of one over many who have actually at least done some work.

Your more or less saying they are all conspiring to lie and present falsehoods and you are telling the truth without offering any formal evidence.

I obviously can't speak for other men, but I don't do speed dating because having to speak to a new person every few minutes just doesn't work for me. It takes me time to warm up and be comfortable with someone, by which time you have to move onto the next person.

If events were structured with fewer people and the opportunities for longer conversations then I might consider it, and my introversion would definitely handle that better than short conversations with lots of people. But the typical speed dating set up isn't for me.

I understand that some folks are uncomfortable talking to strangers. But remember,every friend that you now have,was a one time........a stranger.

This happened a month ago. The man had been deported seven times, and sneaks back in again. Not seeing where he was given sanctuary.

The one killed were farmworkers.

• 39-year-old Aaron Ruiz Ruiz
• 32-year-old Beymar Reynosa Rodriguez
• 39-year-old Demetrio Celerino Francisco
• 57-year-old Pedro Lopez Gomez
• 42-year-old Loreto Ricardo Hernandez
• 34-year-old Fernando Silverio

It was a terrible accident. This time they should keep in jail for many years and not just deport him. They should keep him till he dies. imo. I suspect the families of those killed want him permanently jailed.

I don't see where Newsom "released him". The DHS is putting a propaganda spin on all this.

Well this thing called reality, and this thing called the MAGA universe.

In reality climate change is a thing, vaccines are a thing, surgical masks reduce viral spread because the water droplets are actually trapped within the mask even if the virus is tiny, and a billion other sites things that MAGA doesn't want to think about.

In reality Donald Trump actually has narcissistic personality disorder, as diagnosed by over 230 mental health experts that have analysed hundreds and hundreds of hours of footage over decades.

So if there is enough evidence that Republicans have bought dominion voting machines and actually corrupted them, then maybe yes in a few years we will see evidence of election tampering by Republicans.

Awww look the ad populum fallacy. The reformation happened to correct the doctrinal error and corruption of the RCC. It still continues today.

Click to expand...

Nah, ad populum probably applies better to Protestantism today than it ever did to Catholcism. Either way, popularity doesn't make right-or wrong-whereas history and experience means something-and the Reformers threw both pretty much out the door while speculating with Scriptual guess-work some 15 centuries after the fact, and then often disagreed on it's the meaning anyway. And that beat continues on even louder today. Either way they got the basics wrong. The truth of the faith as recorded in history, not just as it regards Catholicism but all of the early church east and west, is against you.

Voting machines should have open source code and should have paper ballots for recount purposes. Dominion just never passed the smell test. Being owned by a Republican they won't pass the smell test either.

Click to expand...

Paper ballots. Our county had paper ballots until pressured to get mechanical voting machines. They had an internal paper tape to record votes as well as the mechanical tally portion. These got used longer than the company that made them was in existence. That proved problematic for repairs.

Meanwhile, I know of a municipality that went to optical readers for paper ballots. Have a clear memory of a candidate calling for a recount, which was run with both candidates present and with TV cameras running. The reader came up with a different tally. It was run again, and it came up with yet another tally. IIRC, every time they ran it, they got a different tally.

A former classmate ended up doing time for voting fraud. The scheme, IIRC, involved registering ineligible voters and then casting absentee ballots in their names. These were paper ballots.

The Dominion system I saw has a touch screen connected to a printer to essentially serve as a ballot marking machine. This printed a piece of paper with a code in what looked like a QR square, but contained the tally information. This was then run through a reader, which may or may not be temperamental (it depends on the reader). But I don't think you can look at the paper and see the ballot choices. Could be wrong, but I think all of it is in that coded square.
