ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

See post #104. The issue isn't that ABC chose to cancel his show after what he said. The issue is that ABC chose to cancel his show after the chairman of the FCC threatened them with legal action if they didn't.

How would you feel about the chairman of the FCC under Biden threatening Fox with fines and suspension of their broadcast license if they didn't fire their commentators who perpetuated the lies about the 2020 election?
First, ABC suspended Kimmel (it hasn't canceled the show) after affiliates did cancel the show by pre-empting it.

Second, I don't recall many rallying around Carlson when Fox canned him for similar reasons.

Third, "How would you feel" is irrelevant. Feelings change with mood, and that is subject to change with the most trivial things, or with nothing at all. What we think is hopefully well grounded in reason.

Fourth, see the first point. This is being portrayed as an action by the FCC, but the affiliates who pre-empted Kimmel says it's not. This is on par with canning Rosanne Barr, Gilbert Gottfried, and many others for what they said. Where was the outrage then?

Daniel 11:40-44, followed by Armageddon

Hi Marilyn,

I agree we won't have long to see. The Gog/Magog attack on Israel will be by a coalition of Muslim nations and Russia. The destruction of those armies by the God of Israel will discredit Islam's god Allah/and Muhammad, and basically end Islam.

The Assyrian of Micah 5:5 could be referring to the leader of the Muslim nations. I think also that maybe Damascus will be destroyed that day.
Hi Douggg,

Note from God`s word that those Muslim nations that go with the Russian Federation are - Persia, (Iran) Libya and Ethiopia. (Ez. 38: 5) Those 3 extra nations are ONLY SHIA part of Islam. And that is ONLY 10% while the Sunni part are 90%. So we see that Islam will still be outnumbering the EU - 350 million and 2 billion Islam.

Why we Christians still have to struggle with sins?

Romans 3:23–25 says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished.”

Some interpret this to mean Christ only died for past sins. But that misses Paul’s point. Paul highlights two things at once: (1) God’s justice required a payment even for sins before the cross, and (2) Christ’s sacrifice provides justification “for all who believe” (v.22), which is a present and ongoing reality. The reference to “sins committed beforehand” does not restrict the scope of the atonement but demonstrates that the cross reached backward as well as forward. If Jesus’ death only covered past sins, then believers would stand condemned the moment they sinned again. Yet Paul immediately stresses that justification is by faith apart from works of the law (v.28), meaning it rests on Christ’s once-for-all atonement (cf. Hebrews 10:12, 14). Therefore, Romans 3:23–25 is not narrowing Christ’s death to past sins but showing that His sacrifice is sufficient for all sins—past, present, and future.
When the bible speaks of laws we no longer have to keep, it is speaking of the animal sacrificial laws and Priesthood laws. These animal sacrificial laws were a school master pointing us to the fact that Jesus would be sacrificed for our sins. Since Jesus died we are no longer under a school master, (required to offer up bulls and goats for our sins).



Now we must believe (have faith) Jesus died for us (Hebrews 10:4,9-10) 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 9 then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

This doesn't mean we don't have to obey God's moral laws of conduct. That would be like a man getting paroled from prison and then ignoring the same laws that sent him to prison in the first place. Jesus only died once, so if we willingly break God's law, after accepting Jesus, our reward will be eternal damnation (Hebrews 10:26-27) 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

The point that is not understood is that we all have sin, but until Jesus came, there was no way of getting out from under your sins. So God institute a Priesthood and laws that went with the priesthood to control the sinning, and so the Lord use animal Sacrificial laws, even though it could not remove sins.

When Jesus died on the cross that was the end of the first covenant, which consisted of the blood of animals and the keeping of God’s commandments. And his death also brought in the second covenant, which consist of the blood of Jesus and the keeping of God’s commandments.

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

He was implying that a black pilot might have got that position not because of his ability to fly a plane but simply because he was black.

Now I don't know whether he actually believed that, in which case I think we can say that he was stupid. Or that he didn't know any better, in which case he should educate himself before talking on such matters. Or that he knew exactly what the situation was but wanted to blow that dog whistle anyway. In which case I'd say that he was not stupid or ill informed but contemptible.

CAN YOU HAVE GOD'S GRACE WITHOUT GOD'S LAW?

The commandments in the law which God gave show what sin is, and sin is separating any from God. God's grace is needed and with Christ sent from God and the way of atonement provided through his all he did for it the way of deliverance is provided, with faith that is with our repentance that has it possible through Christ. This is not removing us from commandments but from judgment with the law. The sins they show are such for us to turn from in coming to God to willingly live in God's will for us.
When the bible speaks of laws we no longer have to keep, it is speaking of the animal sacrificial laws and Priesthood laws. These animal sacrificial laws were a school master pointing us to the fact that Jesus would be sacrificed for our sins.

Israel-Hamas Thread II

In 2014, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) conducted a study on anti-Semitism in one hundred countries and entities. The top ten countries, in each of which over 80 per cent of the population holds anti-Semitic views, all belong to the Arab and Muslim world. The "West Bank" and Gaza topped the list with 93 per cent. Despite this fact, Sanders believes that good relations between the United States and Israel should depend on Israel improving its relations with the "Palestinians".
For some reason, people continue to use the term 'anti-Semitic' by which they mean anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist or anti-Israel.

Akkadians (Assyrians and Babylonians), Arabs, Arameans, Canaanites (Ammonites, Edomites, Israelites, Moabites, Phoenicians, and Philistines) and Habesha peoples. The terminology is now largely unused outside the grouping "Semitic languages" in linguistics. First used in the 1770s by members of the Göttingen school of history, this biblical terminology for race was derived from Shem
Semitic people - Wikipedia

The point being that many of the people in this conflict are Semitic people, so it is just as useful to accuse Netanyahu of being anti-Semitic in his endeavour to obliterate Gaza to create a playground for the rich and famous, as it is to accuse HAMAS or the Palestinian people of being anti-Semitic.

Anyone who supports or celebrates violence should be excluded from the 'us and them'. Neither of us wants to include them as being representative of our views, however disparate those views might be.
But the people who support violence are the "them" I'm talking about.
Sometimes people that you don't generally agree with, people you consider to be the opposition sometimes say the right thing for the right reason. Sometimes you have to agree with them.
I didn't say I disagreed.
There are people when everything they say is out of the corner of their mouth. When it's nothing but lies and self serving dross. Gee, I can't actually think of anyone like that right now...maybe you'd have someone in mind. But Newsom isn't that guy.

Trump Orders Flags to Half-Staff for Charlie Kirk

...because trying to curtail freedoms is immoral, right? All of the Amendments are moral statements. The whole Constitution is, except for some procedural matters. The Declaration of Independence is about morality. All men are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Hitler didn't believe that. Stalin didn't believe that. A lot of the contemporary Left don't believe that, and that's why we consider them all to be immoral men.

Same thing. Ensuring the existence of a free society is a moral value judgment. Although I'm curious what you'd think of this - if you and I were stranded on a desert island with no hope of returning to society, would it be immoral if I killed you? (I know it sounds crazy to kill your only human companionship, but maybe I don't want to share limited food, or maybe you're just too annoying. :D)
According to God, yes it is immoral.

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

Of course I've heard the clip. Why else would I be talking about it? If you can't figure it out, what he was saying was if there were no such thing as affirmative action, I would not wonder about a black pilot. But because of affirmative action, it can be legitimate to have a concern.
He was implying that a black pilot might have got that position not because of his ability to fly a plane but simply because he was black.

Now I don't know whether he actually believed that, in which case I think we can say that he was stupid. Or that he didn't know any better, in which case he should educate himself before talking on such matters. Or that he knew exactly what the situation was but wanted to blow that dog whistle anyway.

I'm not impressed that he didn't know or deliberately blurred the difference between Affirmative Action and DEI.
There's a little difference in approach, but substantially no difference.
But inasmuch as he also considered the Civil Rights Act to be a mistake, I wouldn't have invited him to my barbeque.

I was here before the Civil Rights Act...I remember life before the Civil Rights Act.
You're free to invite or not invite anyone you want to your barbeque.

Senate confirms 48 of Trump's nominees at once after changing the chamber's rules

Democrats have blocked more nominees than ever before as they have struggled to find ways to oppose Trump and the GOP-dominated Congress, and as their voters have pushed them to fight Republicans at every turn. It’s the first time in recent history that the minority party hasn’t allowed at least some quick confirmations.

By not allowing even some quick confirmations the Democrats made their obstructionism as obvious as could be. Thus I feel the Republicans took the correct step.
Slowly but surely, nature is healing.
