Experimental archaeology using evidence from tomb reliefs found it was relatively easy to haul 20+ ton limestone blocks used to build the pyramids at Giza.
This is from the 10 minute mark of the video.

The most ridiculous is the conspiracy theory that archaeologists excavating at Gobekli Tepe fearing the truth would come out planted olive trees en masse to hide the evidence. This is from the 16 minute mark.

I would have to make a call to someone with a master key—either a janitor or a school administrator. I don't wanna put anyone out of their way on a holiday weekend, especially when the weather is this terrible.

Why not stop beating around the bush, and call it a full scale conquest. You know it is.

Yet still, nobody wants to talk about black culture and the "black pandemic." Gee, I wonder why.

Genesis 7 - 7 NIV

You have forgotten someone, and his wife, and their sons, and their wives.

Oh' my, thanks for correcting me. I thought Noah and His family and animals all drowned :wave:

See, even a wise guy like me, makes mistakes now and then

Don't follow the rabbit trails. The thread is about potential US strikes in Venezuela.

I'm in agreement with @Michie on this. Porneia is any kind of sexual immorality. That could be porn, or masturbation, or lust, or homosexuality, or adultery, or fornication. Anything that is not sex in the confines of a marriage between one man and one woman for one lifetime.

Most quoted verse in the Bible.

Here it is..."16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3-16 NIV

3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2 3-4 NIV

You are technically correct of course, because that was two verses.

Rubbish, where does it say "God wants to save everyone"???? Answer Nowhere!!!!. You will have to try harder than that. Back to class you go :preach:

Light of the East said:
I almost spit my coffee all over my monitor. You apparently are woefully ignorant of Church history. The Gnostics and all that they taught were widely condemned by the Church Fathers.

This is the same problem that one has in dealing with atheists - you show them proofs and because they do not wish to humble themselves and admit that they were wrong, they find all kinds of reasons and excuses to not believe.

1 Jesus Himself said "This IS my Body." What part of "IS" do you not get? The Jews in John 6, when told by Jesus that they had to "eat my flesh" and "drink my blood," went away both disgusted and utterly confused at this statement because it implied cannibalism. They took Him quite literally.

2. The Apostles learned from Christ and in turn, taught the next generation what He had taught them. If you read the sermons and letters of these first pastors of the Church, they taught TO A MAN, that the Eucharist is the very Body and Blood of Christ. WHERE did they learn such a thing except that the Apostles taught it to them.

3. The entirety of Christianity, even the heretics such as Arias, nonetheless believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It wasn't until the Protestant Rebellion that other heretical ideas came into being.

The word remembrance is the Greek word (ἀνάμνησις) anamnēsis means more than just to remember. It is a calling to mind with the idea that the thing being remembered is actually and truly present now. It is a making present in reality of that which is being called to mind. Rituals are extremely important in a covenant relationship. No covenant is ever made without a covenant-making ritual and no covenant is repair or experienced with out ritual. Your barren intellectualism of Protestantism has nothing to do with covenant, yet we live in the New Covenant and therefore must abide by covenant rules and rituals. And to associate the Eucharist with "black magic" is heresy in extremely bad taste.

As I said, ritual is part of covenant life. You are profoundly ignorant of what it means to live in the New Covenant of God. If you want to stop being uneducated about this most important facet of the Christian life, I highly recommend this book:

View attachment 373808

Written by a former Presbyterian Calvinist, he found that all of the rituals which he (and you) despised were actually part of the covenant relationship of God to man. And, of course, without any defense against the truth, he converted.

To hate something does not mean the same thing as to be ontologically hate. I am beyond stunned that you would make such a statement. You have no idea of ontological reality regarding God. And it is quite obvious that you are a Calvinist. You speak like one.

With that reasoning, then Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were some of the most loving people who ever existed on the face of this wretched little planet. Honestly, to suggest that someone who tortures another sentient being is a person of love is beyond the pale.

Thank you for confirming everything I suspected about the eastern Orthodox Denomination. I suspected that your rituals involve necromancy and black magic, and now you have confirmed it by claiming that "transubstantiation" actually takes place during your ceremony to crucify Christ afresh.

You guys must be under strong delusion, if you can't distinguish between "figurative, symbolic and parabolic language" in the Bible. It's sad and messed up theology when you take everything literally and miss the actual message which the scripture is proclaiming.

I look to the Lord Jesus, for instruction and teaching. You can have your confused men who change their minds about who and what they are on a regular basis. So, with all due respect, I will avoid the book your recommended and ;look to the Author and finisher of my salvation.

You have never shown me any proof that your religion is biblically correct, you say you have shown me proof, but all you have shown me is your private unbiblical opinion. None of your opinions are supported by any scripture, they all come from sinful men. God said "cursed is the man who trusts in man".

When the Church commemorates the Lord Supper, the Lord is present. God the Holy Spirit dwells in all of us Born Again Christians, so He is not in the bread or wine but He is literally in us, and you can get better than that in your religion.

On your first point your logic is flawed. Vance is speaking of the "modern left" saying a person does not belong in America unless that person agrees with progressive liberalism. Vance is simply making the point that those whose ancestors fought in previous wars have a very real claim to citizenship. That's far different than claiming ONLY such people have a claim.

He’s also saying that people who move here and espouse our values shouldn’t have a claim on it.

Valletta said:
On the second point you confuse the "citizens" spoken of by Vance with "immigrants." There are plenty of people (Melania Trump, for example) who came here as immigrants and later become citizens. It's a matter of history that German immigrants who later became citizens (such as Wernher Von Braun) worked together at NASA with American Jews (such as Abraham Silverstein).

von Braun worked for the US government for 10 years before becoming a naturalized citizen. By that time, he was already Chief of Guided Missile Development at Redstone Arsenal and had a working prototype of our first ballistic missile. Yes, he and others became citizens, but you have to immigrate here first in order to do that, and the citizenship process takes years - years which these guys did not wait to contribute. Vance was blatantly wrong.

Of course, invading Venezuela is about oil, not drugs. Drugs are just a pretext.

Republican says US "about to go in" to Venezuela, with oil a key reason

Representative Maria Salazar, a Florida Republican, says that regime change in Venezuela would result in a "field day" for US oil companies.

+1 on this comment. Couldn't agree more. When bombs go down, we go up.

The so-called rapture occurs when Jesus returns to judge the living and the dead (aka the sheep and goats judgment, the white throne judgment, and the final judgment). The people who are still on earth will rise to meet Jesus and his saints in the air, and then they will follow Jesus to the Kidron Valley (Valley of Jehoshaphat) for this final judgment. In other words, this rapture will occur at the end of time.

AND justing asking as to. where Jesus commandments under the NEW COVENANMT. are written ??

And how can anyone be SAVED under the NEW COVENANT ??

Just as the heavens are a spiritual realm and not something physical, it stands to reason that the "bottomless pit" is also not a physical realm but a spiritual reality.
Especially since it is being described in a vision.

Luke 4: 43 but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.”

Thank you for acknowledging that the Lord Jesus only came to save Gods elect. Your verse proves that, because the Jews thought that He only came to save them, but He told them the awful truth that nobody is saved by their ethnicity.

Revelation 7:9-10
[9] After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, [10] and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

The people mentioned in the above verses are Gods elect, He chose us for salvation, before time began.

Uggghll, I'm irritated. So, I quickly pop into the school to grab some books I need for lesson planning. On my way out, I close my classroom door. It automatically locks. The moment I hear the lock click, I remember that my classroom and car keys are still sitting on my desk!

I would walk, but the temperatures are below freezing and we've gotten a few inches of snow this weekend. I also considered asking for a ride, but I don't have a phone number for anyone who attends my church. I don't have any friends or family in town to give me a lift either.

Emili · 2025-11-29T20:29:15-0600

Hello! My name is Emily. I am twenty years old and I'm new the forum!

My life thus far has been defined by isolation, rejection, and mental suffering. I never felt like I could connect with anyone, and I saw how many others in the world were suffering too. It destroyed my trust in God for years and I stopped calling myself a Christian. One night when I was seventeen, I wanted to take my own life, but I had the urge to pray for the first time in years. Then the Holy Spirit told me to read my untouched New Testament. That's where my story began - at what seemed like the end.

Right now, I'm enduring another period of complete isolation and even heartbreak, but I am also more strengthened than ever in Christ. Although I'm very shy, I am also glad to be on this forum among fellow believers.

Thank you for having me!
