There is also the fact that demons hate Gregorian Chant. I would say play the song as much as possible till it does not hurt anymore
If you cringe at that song, and treat it as an aversion, the demons know what feelings to use to get you to stay away from something.
If that is true, you may find those feelings of pain with this song appearing in unrelated situations.
If not then it is just the mood of the song that grieves you and not what the words are meant to project.
Either way, whenever we have bad feelings and can’t understand why, it is good to try and figure it out

Also take the time to pray and ask God, remember to say Jesus, I trust in you.

I think it was partly because they died young and lived on the edge is what gave them that edge and their downfall. They became their lyrics or were their lyrics.

It's no longer dangerous for a public figure to express anger at an institution that says slavery is bad. That's America today.

No. Never happened. That was a British popular magazine story; no scientists involved. Would you like to hear the real story, and how scientists solved the question? Wasn't actually a pig, BTW.

YECs peddled the um, "enhanced" story. And most people who accept the fact of evolution are theists of some kind, mostly Christian. Would you like to see what we know about that?

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord G-d Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. Rev 4:8

The verse is the 30,777th verse

From the 30,777th digit in π, the following 5 numbers are 18326



The 18326th verse in the King James Bible refers to the restoration of Israel and the gathering of the dispersed

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Isa 35:5

From the first decimal place in π, the number 284 appears for the second time at this point. The numbers between the first and second appearances of the number 284 in π are 81117450



The sum of these numbers is 8+1+1+1+7+4+5+0 = 27!


The 27th digit in π is 3279

3279 is the gematria of another verse in which the prophet Isaiah refers to the deaf and the blind

And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. Isa 29:18

In the preceding verses 9-12, Isaiah explains that people are deaf and blind because God removed their ability to perceive, but now he speaks of a day of redemption

Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. Isa 29:9-12

qadosh, meaning holy, has a gematria of 410. Strong's number #H410 is translated as G-d 213 times in the King James Bible.



The sum of the 213th prime number and the 213th composite number is 1575.

1303+272 = 1575,

the gematria of

Total = 1575

I am into Paul Weller at the moment, again lol. I was not into Style Council or the Jam but caught a bit of Weller when solo while living in England at the time. Though I still never got into him.

Now learning the guitar I am finding how beautiful his music is and how I under appreciated this music. Especially in that Weller basically created three different personifications of music with different styles changing with the times. Now he is more laid back and bluesy. But still a profound voice and style.

For a contrast his previous music with 'Style Council' YouTube and The Jam

PS Weller is still going and it seems his music is changing again and more bluesy, even a bit country like the Eagles.

The difference is that there are no biological human races.
But extensive research on human genetic variation, as well as our growing understanding of the origins of the idea of race, has led experts to conclude that the existence of biological race in humans has no scientific basis. Regardless of their race, any two humans share 99.9% of their DNA (Collins, Morgan & Patrinos, 2003; Redon et al., 2006; Liao et al., 2023). Moreover, human genetic variation does not support the division of the human species into biologically meaningful smaller groups like subspecies (Templeton, 2013). Race in humans is not biologically real.

Why Humans Do Not Have Biological Races

Did you know that race in humans has no biological basis? In this text, we discuss the scientific evidence that shows...

You are as likely to be a closer genetic match for New Guinea highlander as you are to be one for your next-door neighbor. On the other hand, speciation by hybridization involves reproductive isolation from the two original species. And of course, you don't see crosses between any groups of anatomically modern humans to be reproductively isolated.

There's an old trick musicians use - if you're performing a song in front of people and you make a mistake, when you come to that part of the song again, make the same mistake. People will think you're doing in on purpose. Apply the same principle here. Let the entire countertop get stained, and eventually it will look like it's supposed to look that way.

both Justification (in Rom 5:1) and sanctification (Heb 12:14 Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.) are from God. Both are necessary. One happens the moment we accept Christ and keeps happening every day after that. The other continues and grows each day of our life, it is the one "we pursue"

Click to expand...

Justification being a one-time act of God; i.e., a declaration of not guilty, a sentence of acquittal, a pronouncement of sinlessness (as the result of forgiveness of sin through faith).

Sanctification being an on-going work of the Holy Spirit within the believer, transforming his character and actions.

I have found, and this is relatively recently, that when I read or watch or hear about something (generally with a political aspect of some sort) then I sometimes make a quick value judgement before going on to read any opinions about it. If my opinion aligns with the consensus (or with the author of whatever I'm reading or watching) then I'll, play Devil's advocate and try to support the position with which I disagree.

I don't often change my position but at least I have an inklin as to why someone might not agree with me. But then, quite often I'll decide it's because he or she is an idiot...

Hi Bradskii. In another post, you mentioned seeing things in black and white. I would first note that there would not be gray if there were no absolutes of black and white. And that brings to mind the thought that it's futile to try and ascertain where the Light ends and the darkness begins. What matters is ascertaining from which direction the Light is shining from.

That's why in politics we have to use a left/right dichotomy to have sound reasoning. And that's also why many propagandists present false narratives by using absolutes that do not belong in a left/right dichotomy and are misrepresented under the labels Left and Right, so as to manipulate minds. Those who hate Mr. know it all because he makes them feel stupid, prefer an Idiocracy.

Yes its a strange thing that some of these great artist die young and often through self inflicted lives. Look at Kurt Kobain who I think was also like a reincarnation of an old blues singer at heart. But really pioneered a new kind of music that represented his generation.

Or of course the classic icon of artistic music in Jim Morrison. Who actually was an arty academic and a poet before a muso. Though his rantings became wierd in the end lol. But each captured a time well for what it was.

I think it was partly because they died young and lived on the edge is what gave them that edge and their downfall. They became their lyrics or were their lyrics.

One more thing. I reckon the best chance of seeing a music artist who is reflecting the culture today is busking on the streets. Many are never commercialised but boy there are some good musos out there. I think the basic quality is believability.

Even if the voice is not the best like Dylans. Its an embodiment of life in music. But also these musicians express themselves through the music as opposed to art or literature. They are not just playing the tune but living it I think.

Sorry but music is my thing lol.

Nobody is claiming that slavery is or was a good thing.

Click to expand...

Hopefully, no one here. But into the 1990s, one prominent YEC was saying that it was God's doing, as some races were by nature, slaves.

I agree with those things as God's will but are there more? I would say yes, that there are areas of faith that go beyond just following the commandments. Faith includes doing the things that God asks. This would include being involved in speading the gospel according to what God has gifted you with. We all have a ministry of reconcilation, we all are ambassadors to Christ. I would say none of us do his will perfectly. Most of us probably have a little of king Saul in us, that we are given tasks and we would rather pray, maybe even fast, or ask the pastor to do it, when God instead is saying for us to do something. Some might call this a sin of omission, and while it should not keep you out of heaven, following God's plan for marriage, career, location and other things sure can make a difference in our walk. These things too require faith, that though the context is eating certain foods here I think it can apply to other areas. We must remember too this verse:

Hebrews 11:6, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Romans 14:23 (KJV)
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

There is no documented evidence that President Donald Trump visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, which was central to the sex trafficking allegations against Epstein.

Here’s what’s known:
• ️ Flight Logs: Trump’s name appears in Epstein’s flight logs from the 1990s, showing he flew on Epstein’s private jet at least seven times—but only between Palm Beach and New York, not to the island.

• ️ Island Visit Claims: Despite social media speculation, fact-checkers like PolitiFact have found no credible proof that Trump ever set foot on Epstein’s island

Available documents are not sufficient for a lot of right wing people, who were led to believe theres additional info from the investigation thats not yet been made available.

Are they correct? Lets see.
