From AI Overview:

Martha Stewart went to prison for lying to federal investigators about a stock sale in the ImClone Systems case.

Here is a recipe from her:

Ready to put a perfectly roasted turkey on your holiday table? This recipe includes a delicious herb butter for the turkey and is surprisingly easy to prepare. Before going into the oven, the bird is coated in a simple, flavorful rub of butter mixed with rosemary, sage, and thyme, which makes the skin crispy and golden and the meat moist and flavorful. Place the turkey on a bed of roasted vegetables—along with the turkey neck—to elevate the meat above the bottom of the pan and collect delicious drippings that you can use to make a rich gravy.

Question: Do you feel the same way about Martha's recipes as you do Kent's "recipes"?

If not, I submit the problem is on your end.

If you mean that as a way to get to know Him and His love, I am inclined to agree, that is a good way to find out.

No, and yes. I mean His agenda existed before our universe was even created, and it is ongoing... His battle against adversity, in first the elohim and then us later. It is still ongoing. "His Kingdom come. His will be done in earth as it is in heaven". Why should we cut in line and think it is all about us instead? Our part is to not be selfish but simply love each other as self to not cause more trouble than there already is, and that we understand why His way is better than those adversarial to His will (the selfish). in doing so we have shown by our fruits which side we are on, while He takes care of the rest.

No. We blame "it". The thing that causes problems everywhere, while never solving anything.

Just as He did for Moses and Elijah , who stood in glory with Christ before the cross event even happened in Matt 17

This explains why it is that all the giants of faith listed in Heb 11 come from the OT

Everyone before Moses knew nothing about the Ten Commandments. Abraham was a gentile idol worshipper before GOD called him. The covenant of the promises, the new covenant was given to Abraham and Jesus , Abrahams seed came to confirm this covenant made with the fathers. Romans 15:8 There is much more to this but I don’t have the time to indulge.

According to the article cited above, he was deeply troubled by the death of his friend by the Taliban.

You've been watching too much Colombo. In this case, no detective work was needed, as the suspect was caught red handed, and running from the scene of the murder he was witnessed committing.

The sentence is is what comes next, along with what we do as a nation with the onslaught of Islamism in our country.

...But don't worry! I have an idea on what to do.

lol, you should probably read more than just the headline of a piece before presenting it as evidence. Not that any of it supported your argument (it didn’t), but merely getting through the first sentence would’ve provided two different dates highlighting your problem.

I have read it. And yes, it comes from an incredibly left leaning source that fabricated nonsense. The only sources that liberals trust. If it was an actual source that was honest, liberals would immediately dismiss it as propaganda. Remind me how many young black kids have been murdered since Trump sent the national guard. Not that it matters to anyone but Trump and MAGA conservatives.

Everybody who went outside to walk on the filthy streets and roads washed their feet when they returned home. If there were slaves or servants the job was done by the lowest servant. It was a job that everyone wanted to avoid if at all possible.

He that is the greatest among you is the servant of all. What Jesus did by washing the feet of the disciples was demonstrating this very thing but ignorant people have turned into a repetitive ritual that is meaningless.

Yes, He is looking for us to love Him, so we can love others as He loves us. Present tense, because He is alive.

No one is saved by being terrified of hell, but by being keen to know Him. I do believe there is a hell, but it is not there to frighten people.

I suggest putting the Father and His agenda first.

So instead of killing Taliban he decided to kill National Guardsmen who had nothing to do with it. Was this his actual motive or is this speculation?

You are correct. T

the distinction between the Old and New Covenants is primarily about the basis of the covenant and the location of the law. The Old Covenant was conditional on human effort and was based on external laws written on stone tablets, while the New Covenant is based on God's grace and promises, with His law written internally on the heart through the Holy Spirit

Old Covenant

• Basis: Attempted to achieve righteousness through human effort and obedience.
• Law: The law was external, written on stone tablets (Exodus 20).
• Outcome: Described as leading to a faulty relationship due to human faithlessness and disobedience.
• Role: Seen as necessary to demonstrate humanity's inability to be righteous on its own and to point to the need for a savior.

New Covenant

• Basis: God's grace and promise, accepted by faith.
• Law: God's law is written on the heart through the Holy Spirit, enabling believers to live in accordance with it.
• Outcome: Spiritual regeneration and a new heart, with Christ entering the life of the believer.
• Role: Provides a relationship with God based on His power to transform the believer, not their own power.

The spirit of GOD in true Christians enables in us a change of nature, we partake of the divine nature that doesn’t need to be commanded but is motivated by GODS love in us. Love fulfills law. The Ten Commandments will pass away when heaven and Earth pass away, Revelation 21:1 the Ten Commandments are not for a converted righteous man but for carnal unconverted sinners . Jesus paid the penalty for our breaking the Ten Commandments, once , he will not die for you again if you go back to them again.

I would presume that part of his admittance to the country involved some sort of vetting. Given that he ran a specops group working with a variety of western forces against the Taliban, feeding info to the enemy strikes me as unlikely, unless, I suppose, the Taliban started paying better than the Americans.

Either way, I don’t know anything about the guy other than what’s been reported in the press - just like you don’t either. Everything about his “Islamic lies” and his status as a double agent is 100% conjecture on your part.

Jesus said , “there is one who condemns you even Moses in who you trust” Moses brought the Ten Commandments to give to Israel. These Ten Commandments were written and engraved on stone and are the ministry of death. They kill everyone under them, there is no life in the Ten Commandments. These law keepers here are dead, the law Moses brought down from the mountain has condemned them to death. Jesus said, “search the scriptures for in them you think you have everlasting life but these are those which testify of me.” The Ten Commandments do not offer everlasting life but rather everlasting death. There is a new and living way through Jesus Christ that law keepers don’t know. Ten Commandment keepers are yet in the old covenant, deny the work of Christ, are condemned by Moses and have no life in them. Do a Bible study with key words like, mercy, righteousness, faith, justification and life with respect to the Ten Commandments and see that the Ten Commandments did not offer any of these things. Since the Ten Commandments cannot be altered in any way you cannot add these things to them. Sin is conquered by GODS love in us by HIS spirit. If we are empowered with this love then we can overcome sin. No one has ever overcome sin by keeping the Ten Commandments. John 1:17 grace and truth did not come by the Ten Commandments but through Jesus Christ.

ChubbyCherub said:

Thank you, this makes sense.

My dad has never read the bible and goes off his understanding of what he's been told and his relationship with Jesus, as he puts it.

I guess I always thought there was a danger in relying on others to read the bible to you, interpret it for you etc but he doesn't read above a third grade level (if that) so he tries his best.

People seem to read the same passages and still come to different conclusions. It's a minefield, really!

I'm prone to research, overthinking, examination, analysis, questions, thinking, shifting in thinking, reassessing, reconfirming etc. So, I see both views. I appreciate your help here!

Many, many believers, perhaps the majority of them, down through the centuries were illiterate, simple folk, let alone not bible scholars or theologians. And many, many took the ball they were handed via catechesis and ran with it, producing the good fruit God desires of us, whatever that may be. Others produced bad fruit despite the good teachings they'd received. And sacraments, as well, incidentally, embody and pass on theology, providing a simple means to understand and live out the basics of the gospel. My semi-literate grandmother arriving in America over a century ago now from the foothills of the Italian Alps was one such person, having a simple and beautiful faith that I'd be willing to compare to anyone's. Just some more thoughts related to this matter, FWIW.

Change the constitution to allow religious freedom of all religions... Except one.

I wonder if his previous CIA affiliation and resulting immigration came with a price of recall for future use

iluvatar5150 said:

Then what is your post? Another example of Christian lies in order to paint a different religious/ethnic group as being evil and unworthy of living here?

The guy worked for the CIA. I’d think that would justify fears of retaliation by the Taliban. But please keep on jumping to conclusions.

How do you know he wasn't secretly passing information to the enemy? This kind of behavior is rampant in the Islamic community. They are the most dangerous group in the world today. They consistently use whatever grievance they have as an excuse for violent actions. Islamists are very dangerous and violent.
