And in Surinam. according to Meet the Press, they were going to unload to a larger ship headed for Europe. So why are we fighting Europe's battles pretending that those drugs are going to us? Almost all of our drugs come through Mexico or Asia.

But how did they find the drugs? Did they send divers down to examine the wreckage? There were no survivors to have questioned.

In short, Venezuela has more oil than any other country in the world and Trump wants to feed his rapacious needs by more, more more.

keras, why would a Christian nation made up of totally Christians (of your replacement theory) need two witnesses testifying to them in Jerusalem ? The entire nation (of your replacement theory) will all already believe in Jesus.

Another failure to properly read what the Prophets said.
Zechariah 14:1-2 tells of the conquest of the Christian nation of Beulah. Confirmed by Revelation 12 & 13, when Satan is thrown out of heaven - he will break the 7 year treaty and invade the Holy Land. Daniel 7:25 AND desecrate the Temple. Daniel 9:27
But those who kept faithful will be taken to a distant place of safety. Rev 12:14 and those who agreed with that treaty, Daniel 11:32 must remain. Revelation 12:17

It will be the conquerors of the Holy Land that the 2 Witnesses will preach to.
I would love to see them spewing fire to consume their enemies. Rev 11:5

The great tribulation begins when the AoD statue image is set up on the temple mount. So if you are saying that the AoD statue image will be gone the day of Jesus's returns - then the 1335 days of Daniel 12:12 have to end then as well.

But the 1335 days, [1260 + 75] cannot begin before the mid point of the final 7 years.
Logically and scripturally, the extra 75 days must come after the glorious Return.

Wow. That’s sickening. I read up on it. To make things worse, some of these cases (I don’t know about in Scotland) are done without anesthesia or numbing agents and with broken glass, sharp rocks, fingernails and more.

I appreciate your point about context, and I agree that Jesus is absolutely confronting hypocrisy in Matthew 7. But the principle He’s teaching goes even deeper than simply “don’t be a hypocrite.” Jesus is warning us about assuming a posture that belongs only to God—the posture of judge.
In the passage, He emphasizes that when we judge others, we end up being judged by the very same standard we apply.That’s not just about hypocrisy; that’s about the danger of stepping into God’s place and setting ourselves up as the ones who decide whose “speck” counts and how severe it is. When we do that, we inevitably judge people according to ourstandards, not God’s—and Jesus says that doing so invites judgment back on ourselves.

And yet we can, and must, be able to discern between right and wrong, justice and injustice.

Here are the pictures of the supposed "fishing boats" that were blown up by the US Navy. Note all the bundles of what appears to be either cocaine or fentanyl. Perhaps all the "fishing gear" is underneath it? Now is the part where you dismiss the evidence and continue claiming there is none, even though I cannot provide it to you. Good day. For the record, if I do not reply, it isn't because I cannot provide evidence. It means that evidence is not worth presenting to ideologues who refuse to accept it.

‘Democrats are going to come to regret this’: After Epstein vote, Trump ready to attack
Trump has already instructed the Department of Justice to investigate links between Epstein and notable Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, former Harvard President Larry Summers and Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman.

Summers announced Monday that he would step back from public life after emails revealed that the former Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and top adviser to President Barack Obama repeatedly sought advice from Epstein on romantically pursuing a woman he referred to as his mentee.

Like I said if they want to judge and throw stones then be prepared for the same level of scrutiny and judgement that will come upon themselves.

This probably more lies from Trump and Holman. They make wild claims but never back them up with proof. In the past, they made claims about 300,000 missing children, which weren't actually missing. The bulk of these were children that either didn't show up for their hearing or didn't receive a notice for their hearing. Trump and Holman claimed these were missing children and were being trafficked. They provided no proof of this in the past and haven't this time either.

I dislike that language in the Nicene Creed. And it's a translation issue. The older texts read: "Of one substance with the Father". Let me explain.

In the American context, where anyone with a little charisma and a 6th grade education and a King James Bible can scrape together a group of 20 followers (hence the meme of Pr. Bob, the ignoramus), the quoted phrase tends to lead to a Modalist view. Of course, the people I just referenced don't use creeds but they seem to be particularly effective at spreading their views through media. So those who do are tainted with the influence of these ignorant people.

I can live with 'consubstantial with the Father' as the Romans were using recently, although that is a word that needs unpacked for 93% of the faithful; essence and substance are both better.

We are now seeing the lawfare against Trump with Russia gate which was purposely designed to undermine Trump. Even to the point that it led to actual assassination attempts on his life.

So we have approaching 100 arrests in relation to the hidden fraud the Dems reined over and much more will come out. That in itself shows they are willing to hide stuff and lie to ensure they keep power.

We have seen the connection to Epstein and the so called Russian collusion being exposed as lies and a purposeful plan to undermine a sitting president. It will all come out.

When people get to the point where they are willing to lie to make someone look bad then you know they are willing to do other stuff behind closed doors. I guarentee this will be the case. I know the psychology of humans.

Well you know about the massive fraud, that alone blows anything said about Trump out of the water. More will come out implicating Dems overseeing massive fraud and criminal activities.

The Epstein files have Dems all over it. Why was Clinton on Epsteins plane 11 times. Its strange how this has never been investigated by the Dems with the same vigor as they did against Trump.

That in itself disqualifis the Lefts complaints based on hypocracy. They have no moral ground to stand on. They have shown bias and cannot be trusted. So all these negative spectualtions against Trump are tarred with bias and partisanship.

Cold dense air above the ice would cause light to refract more than usual, so you will likely be able to see further in Winter than during Summer.
Similar experiments have been done using laser light, without taking into account atmospheric refraction. The laser light actually bends downwards due to the density gradient of the atmosphere.

Pastor Stuart Knechtle recently claimed that President Donald Trump's 19-year-old son, Barron, is interested in claims of supernatural dreams about Jesus Christ in the Muslim world and is "very close" to becoming a Christian.

Knechtle, who has 2.4 million followerson TikTok and serves as assistant pastor at Grace Community Church in New Canaan, Connecticut, shared Thursday on "The George Janko Show" that he recently witnessed to Barron on the phone at 12:30 a.m. about Christianity.

“I thought I was hitting him with everything but the kitchen sink when it came to all the evidence for God and Christianity," Knechtle said.

"I thought I was really on, I was pumped," he said. "And at the very end, I came up pretty much totally open-handed with nothing. But I brought up dreams and revelations."

Knechtle claimed Barron was fascinated when he brought up reports that have circulated in recent years of many Muslims experiencing striking encounters with Jesus Christ in their dreams. Mission Frontiers magazine reported that a quarter of Muslim conversions to Christianity are because of such experiences.
