CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"A report in The Lancet estimates that deep funding cuts to USAID could lead to more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, with one-third being children, if the funding isn't restored. The cuts have already caused the immediate shutdown of essential programs, leading to a higher risk of diseases like cholera and a rise in under-five mortality rates in affected areas. As a result, some models already estimate that the dismantling of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths, with two-thirds being children."
******************************************************************************************
1) What would motivate America's Evangelicals to align themselves with a President who terminated USAID, a government agency, according to independent sources, is credited with saving 91 million lives over the last 2 decades and whose demise will come at a price of 14 million by 2030?
PROVERBS !4
31) Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God"
2) USAID operated at a cost to the average US taxpayer $0.18 per day - President Trump, a multi-billionaire, and his chief advisor Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, were instrumental in its demise - depriving the world's most destitute of food and basic medical care!
MATTHEW 19
23) Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24) Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
3) What portions of Scripture can MAGA Evangelicals cite that would justify their political alliance with a President whose 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ have denied 23 million of the world's neediest children access to an education that would dramatically improve their prospects on life?
4) What version of their Christian faith would rationalize the withdrawal of government programs that would result in depriving another 100 million of the world's most vulnerable of basic healthcare, - leading to more than 3 million preventable deaths per year with a disproportionate number of those children!
MATTHEW 25
40) .....‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me"
5) Presumably Evangelical support of Donald Trump is to exert their influence on the White House, the Trump Administration and congressional Republicans now in the majority in both the House and the Senate - presumably that influence could have extended to convince the President that the price of their support included retaining the humanitarian branch of the federal government - USAID!
PROVERBS 31
8) Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9) Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.
6) Those who don't identify with the Christian faith would be well justified in questioning as to why they should convert to a religion where some of its most vocal advocates, the Evangelicals, support a President whose actions appears preoccupied with the construction of a garish $300 million gold ballroom designed to impress the rich and powerful - not preserving human life of the world's less fortunate!

Vatican stops use of titles for Mary

Here's the thing with that, and I'm surprised others don't see it.
God was not inside of the Ark of the Covenant. God in the form of the shekinah glory, hovered above the Ark. The Ark of the Covenant was the seat of God, not a vessel that housed God.

Already commented on it, it is a simulation study, it is also mentioned in the post you quoted.. Nothing have been measured or verified experimentally. Stop just posting links without reading them.I guess you were not paying attention. This is a few and there are more.
Electromagnetic properties of the Great Pyramid: First multipole resonances and energy concentration
Resonant response of the Great Pyramid interacting with external electromagnetic waves of the radio frequency range (the wavelength range is 200-600 m) is theoretically investigated. With the help of numerical simulations and multipole decomposition, it is found that spectra of the extinction...ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
This is the actual paper, there is no connection to ancient technology and lost knowledge. Don't post links that are not related. It is tantamount to lying.

Investigating the potential of using human movements in energy harvesting by installing piezoelectric tiles in Egyptian public facilities
No connection to ancient Egypt at all!
Also mentioned in the post you quoted, from the abstract "A comparison was made of the solid-state 29Si, 27Al and 43Ca MAS NMR spectra of the outer casing stone from Snefru's Bent Pyramid in Dahshour, Egypt, with two quarry limestones from the area. The NMR results suggest that the casing stones consist of limestone grains from the Tura quarry, cemented with an amorphous calcium-silicate gel formed by human intervention, by the addition of extra silica, possibly diatomaceous earth, from the Fayium area."
What is the ancient technology or lost knowledge in this case? A quick googling seems that the egyptians had access to early forms of cement.
I time out on this one, can you take a picture of the abstract and post it?
Ah, that one where gravity is NOT abolished and where hydrolift and acoustic lifting is NOT shown to have been used by the egyptian (it is all speculation).

This is the same as the first one,
This is something that is testable and will by time become clear, the author themselves don't want to the exclude possibility that the microconstituents are the results of some natural process. I also seems to conflict with the article above that seems to say that the casing stones comes from the Tura quarry.
Why are these articles arguments for ancient technology and/or lost knowledge? Can you form them yourself, using these articles for support?

Been there, done that.
Yet no temple.
You asserted you had ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY because you were the special one.
It was like listening to Jake or Elwood.
"We're on a mission from God."
And you futurists REALLY agree!
So evident here on these forums.
However, there is say 80% agreement amongst the Amil theologians I read.
Where there's almost 80 to 95% disagreement between your tribe of futurists.
No matter how stridently you assert you are superior to all other futurists.... you're one of them.
A dime a dozen.
Where's the temple?
Your "Timetable" is running out.
Your original "Holy Spirit" inspired one anyway.
That timetable you defended as an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY as you basically called friends and clients of mine apostate, like the Pharisees.
Also - again you misunderstand most OT prophesies.
Only a FEW are actually about end times events.
Most are about gospel events - or heaven itself.
But in gospel events, they are either about....
The new people of God - the church.
The new river of God - Jesus - the water of life.
The new temple of God - Jesus - as his body crucified and raised again becomes the new temple "built" in 3 days.
All those thousands of hours of debates here, and endless words on your blog.
Wrong.
A waste of time.
Better to stick with the basics of the gospel - and sharing that.
Oh look - I found it! It's in Wonderland - where it should remain.
Jesus is our temple, our prophet, priest and king, our perfect sacrifice, our Moses showing us the new way, our redeemer kinsman, our saviour, our Lord, our brother, our ladder to heaven.
Rebuilding some temple in the middle east would be a blasphemy!
Tick tock buddy.
Your temple is late, late, for a very important date!
