After 18 days of work, I finally finished drawing the characters on all 187 frames of my Christmas animation! Now I just have to do the backgrounds and put everything together, which should only take a few more days. The first full episode of Kirby and the Rod of Darkness Animated is coming very soon! :clap:

What do you think about the facts showing the vast majority of Somalian immigrants in Minnesota are living off of government funds? Couple that with the billions of dollars of fraud by some Somalians in Minnesota and other states.

OK. I have reviewed the articles. They are indeed using using welfare at a high rate. Given they come from an impoverished country, this is not overly surprising. Anything else to add?

From what I recall, it is about the same in levels of harm, the issue is that pot smokers hold the smoke in their lungs longer. This is more damaging. However when you measure that against the fewer number of hits (or drags) taken the overall effect is less.

(ex smoker of both so it was of interest to me)

Edibles all around then, no lung damage.

Your quote us quite relevant. But I won't respond know why until you answer the questions I posed. You are dodging and evading the questions. And your scriptural quote doesn't say what you think it does. But I will not discuss it until you answer my questions.

You know I was just teasing, right? Because you hypothetical fantasies are ridiculous.

It’s a good thing imo. How it moves forward is a concern.

Nah. I think I'll pass.
I have grown weary via.. the "James Comey Dec 2016 - Jan 2017" tactics that are continually used against my posts here.

Allegations that can't be supported with evidence are probably false, thanks for the confirmation.

-- A2SG, no need to play the victim; if you can't back up your claims with evidence, it's probably best to not claim them in the first place....

Evening everyone. Got a cat scan tomorrow and getting ready to go to bed. I’d appreciate prayers for a good result. Thank you!

I will pray!

EDIT: I didn’t see this post when you wrote it. I thought you just did. Sorry about that, but I’m glad you had a good outcome!

I have, and I took a few years of college ASL but I had issues with being an interpreter. As I aged, or due to MS, it was harder to read someone doing sign than sign what I wanted to say. It is hard to do it fast, and people do talk fast. But I worked with deaf students and even a deaf Girl Scout troop as a school nurse.

Respect to you. It is no easy task to teach those and layering a disability on top makes it even more of a challenge.

In the overall chapter of John 10:1-42, the Lord speaks of being the good shepherd in John 10:14. This was during Chanukah ( the dedication) of when the Temple was cleansed by the Maccabeans ( John 10:22-23). It seems possible that at least a few shepherds may have tended their sheep at this time. I believe Chanukah ( as is Passover or “Easter”) is on a lunar calendar which is why it shifts on our solar calendar. The date is fixed on the lunar calendar at 25th of the month “Chislev”. This day is recorded in 2nd Maccabees 10:5 ( the month of Chislev was known as “Casleu” in the KJV): See 2 Maccabees 10:1-10.

2 Maccabees chapter 10 KJV (King James Version)

Why is a pagan association made with the tradition of the date of the Lord’s Nativity when He fulfilled the exact opposite? The opposite being the Temple being rededicated from a pagan abomination.

These are good questions.

The word of their testimony is their faith. 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

"They" refers to whosoever is born of God (Christians).

Yes... I like your response...

Fundamental to faith is dying to self - the few who are called to Martyrdom are not the only overcomers.

So if the Word of their testimony is coming from their faith and Faith comes from hearing Him and obeying, then this is what testifies of His Glory.

A lot of shows I used to watch are available on streaming so that's been nice.

I want to know why there are no streaming services that offer Little House on the Prairie or The Waltons.

You have hit the nail on the head here.

Cheers.

I was thinking primarily of the Old Testament when I said that Scripture is not history. … It is true that the Gospel of Luke is considered to have good historical information in it. We don’t know exactly what year Jesus was born or crucified, so the Gospels are uncertain on that point. The usual figure given is that Jesus was born in 4 BC and crucified in AD 29, but that is not certain.

We can be uncertain about a particular date for an event without denying its historicity. I would say that we are uncertain about the exact dates of basically 99% of historical people, places, and events. Uncertainty dominates historical knowledge.

Even when we get past Genesis, it is difficult to [reconcile] biblical events with what we know from other sources. Some claim that the Pharaoh confronted by Moses in Exodus was Ramses II, but this is far from certain.

I suspect the misalignment is because the dates for the patriarchs is off by a thousand years.

Later, the “treasures of the Temple” were taken by Pharoah Shishek, but no one can identify Pharoah Shishek with any Pharoah known to Egyptologists.

I think you might be mistaken here. Pharaoh Shishak (1 Kgs 11:40; 14:25-26; 2 Chron 12:2-9) is securely identified by Egyptologists as Shoshenq I, founder of Egypt’s 22nd Dynasty (r. ca. 945–924 BCE).

The death and injury toll is as yet unkown.

Two suspects have been arrested but not identified. I'll bet a pound to a penny that they are Moslems.

How sad.

Sad that when someone dies you think the Bible truths they promoted die with them. But you have free will of course

You mean the guys who affirm that Sunday is the Sabbath? The thing that you vehemently disagree with?

Perhaps you should rethink the consistency of your list

I carry Halls throat drops with me and pop a couple during the service. They help some, but not a lot, with singing the hymns.
I got my eyes tested and changed glasses last month but it didn't make a difference.

The thing is, I knew people who attended church well into their nineties and here I am, two decades younger than that, and I'm having problems!

I'm nearly 80.

Greetings again sambas

I presume your second paragraph is a support for the verse above it. If not, then my apologies. It appears you are suggesting that the Luke 24:44 verse, when it says "the law of Moses, the books of the prophets, and the Psalms", means to include 1 Enoch. But I don't know of any support for this. Could you give me your source so I might study this inclusion of 1 Enoch into what Luke wrote in Luke 24:44?

Peace to you brother

I said it excluded 1 enoch. Jesus was referencing this canon list which is our now protestant OT

Josephus: Historical Evidence of the Old Testament Canon

blogs.blueletterbible.org

you can find the same canon list in Eusebius and other early christian writings (ask chat gpt).

You know I sort of believe the unknown independents who actually go out on site and show the evidence first hand. Its good that there are independents who can bypass all that gatekeeping now and show us the truth.
Lol yeah I know. Thats the problem. Like Hawass who gatekeeps a lot of evidence he does not want released.

The very fact that independents can show obvious evidence that is claimed to not exist or show obvious contradictions in the narrative is the evidence that theres no convincing some.

I don't know if you could describe your wrong-headed thinking and poor understanding of science anymore clearly.

The *POINT* of peer review (and gatekeeping) is to check ones thinking. To challenge claims. It has nothing to do with protecting the orthodoxy.

Your "independents" aren't credible because they *don't* challenge their own claims, methods, etc. They are the ones who are afraid to have their work checked, not Hawass.
