No, He was sent to save the (elect of God only),
Luke 4: 43 but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.” |
That's right, in the same way we need to admit our backwards ways and admit God's will is better than ours and we should seek to serve Him rather that ourselves and the adversarial world we have built.Others should be loved as one loves one's self. The repentance was still there, which Jesus Christ was always speaking for concerning restoration to God. It is more than admitting to guilt which he did. He knew he was deserving of what he was getting. He recognized Jesus was one totally innocent, and recognized with faith he spoke from that Jesus had a kingdom which he was now going to, and with that confession asked Jesus in that position for what he might do on his behalf.
No, a full blown traitor to her nation and her oath.She was no traitor! She was a victim.
And folks here were questioning why US military were seeking outside counsel regarding illegal orders.Trump is pardons convicted president who colluded with drug traffickers while his Secretary of War kills suspected drug runners on the high seas.....
"Kill them all"
As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors.
Trump's Banana Republic. Make Honduras Great Again! (yes, he actually wrote that on Truth Social).
Again, thank you for the excellent information. I did not intend to imply that Rastafarianism is a heretical offshoot of Ethiopian Orthodoxy, but merely a cult, not unlike the Mormons, which decided to adopt Christian trappings in order to provide some sort of legitimacy to their cult.While that’s true, the situation here is literally the opposite: the Ethiopian Orthodox converting non-Christian Rastafarians away from their decadent and indulgent false religion to the true religion of Christ our God.
To be clear, Rastafarianism didn’t consist of Ethiopian Orthodox Christians who decided to reject 1600 years of Christian teaching in order to smoke massive amounts of marijuana and perform obnoxious Reggae music, but rather, consisted of Jamaicans who heard of Emperor Haile Selassie, and, contrary to the wishes of the Emperor, decided that he was God, for reasons derived mainly from the color of his skin and the connections between Ethopia and ancient Israel. Among Ethiopians the small Rasta community that immigrated there is not well regarded.
Neither the Emperor, nor the Ethiopian church, refused to take action, however - actions to evangelize the people of the Carribean, including the Rastas, were undertaken, and these have been very successful in converting many Rastas to Christ.

Now that being said, Ethiopia did have, for several centuries, two schismatic, heretical sects which competed with the Orthodox for control of the church, both of which had seriously deranged teachings, however, through the grace of God, the Orthodox party associated with the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and most members of the Imperial household triumphed. But the schism was probably the worst one to happen to an Oriental Orthodox church since the Maronites broke away from the Syriac Orthodox Church in (many believe this was because the Maronites opted to embrace the Monothelite heresy being promoted at the time as a means of achieving EO-OO reconciliation, which resulted in St. Maximos the Confessor losing his tongue, and which also resulted in Pope Honorius I being the only legitimate Bishop of Rome (not counting anti-Popes) to ever be anathematized as a heretic by the Roman Catholic Church post-mortem).
Who would want a guy with his thumb up near the grave of a loved one?Has he gone to any funeral of import? Didn't he attend a J6 funeral?
There's a pretty shocking list of funerals he didn't attend (Though I think he wasn't invited to some of them).
As I said, the Pentagon itself should have both feet on the "double tap" accusation because that would be a clear-cut violation of the Law of Armed Conflict at the basic troop level. The Congress should not be involved at the level of figuring out who pulled the trigger...their involvement would come from how the Pentagon resolves that violation of the LOAC (presuming it actually happened). We don't need Congress investigating a problem the Pentagon is already charged by law to investigate.I generally agree and I have the same concern that you express about subtly accepting the notion that any of this operation is within the 2001 AUMF. The overall Venezuela operation is not popular with the people. I suspect Congress can be turned toward the "Venezuela is not covered by AUMF" resolutions that have failed so far, but hearings on the "double tap" are a way to start that will eventually broaden. (I wouldn't be surprised if there are Senators who are using this as an entry path so they can publicly oppose the whole operation.)
Baptism with water is what Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:18-20 and which we must receive to remove our sins from our souls. The Holy Spirit then abides in our souls after our sins (Adam's and our own) are removed. It is the Holy Spirit's presence that sanctifies us and keeps us sanctified. We are made holy and kept holy by the Holy Spirit's abiding presence.Here's the beauty in Imputation. God imputed Adam's sin to us. Then God Imputed our sin to Christ. And then Imputed Christ's righteousness to us. All according to Romans 5. But look how we made out. Jesus is God, so we now have the infinite righteousness of God worthy of all the blessings only God deserves!!
Not really. People read and interpret with the idea of defending their pet doctrines. Most have no clue how to eisegete a verse.
Jesus is the Lord of the sabbath. The early church knew that it was to celebrate the resurrection day not the day that Jesus was still dead.
Which we haven't (yet), so Hansen's prediction doesn't apply.James Hansen predicted that burning all existing fossil fuels "would make most of the planet uninhabitable by humans"...
Which is only one consequence of global warming.I know most of the planet is not all the planet, so I guess Gates built kind of a strawman, but even then, sources say we've already burned half of earth's supply, and all we've seen so far are a couple tennis court size islands go underwater.

Saint Innocent of Alaska is referred to as an Apostle in the Russian Orthodox Tradition.No one alive today is entitled to call themselves an Apostle. If that were the case, then surely St. Clement, St. Ignatius of Antioch, St. Justin Martyr, St. Polycarp of Smyrna, St. Ireaneus of Lyons, St. Victor of Rome, St. Cyprian of Carthage, St. Gregory the Wonderworker, St. Gregory the Illuminator, St. Nino the Enlightener of the Georgians, St. Athanasius of Alexandria, St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory the Theologian, St. John Chrysostom, St. Cyril the Great, St. Cyril and Methodius, St. Herman of Alaska and others would be venerated as Apostles. As it happens, some, such as St. Nino, are venerated as Equal to the Apostles, and some such as St. Athanasius, are venerated as Apostolic.
However, there are bishops in Apostolic succession, both according to the definition of succession of St. Cyprian of Carthage which requires doctrinal orthodoxy for apostolic succession to be transmitted, and the definition of St. Augustine of Hippo, which does not.
Obviously some bishops are more deserving of the episcopate than others.
Additionally there are evangelists who have received a blessing from the Orthodox Church to preach, such as Billy Graham, memory eternal, who assisted the Russian Orthodox Church, the Georgian Orthodox Church, the Armenian Apostolic Church, and the other canonical Orthodox churches in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics by preaching there, with the blessing of the Patriarchate of Moscow, for during the Soviet Union, the churches therein were prohibited from catechizing the youth, preaching became dangerous, and many parishes were closed so accessing church became very difficult, and in some cities there was no church at all*.
Thus, with the blessing of the Russian Orthodox Church, Billy Graham did a great service for the Christians of the former Soviet Union, by preaching throughout; his popularity was such that the Soviets dared not interfere without embarrassing themselves on the world stage.
But Billy Graham did not claim the title of Apostle; this title has only been used to refer to the Twelve (including St. Matthias, ordained to replace Judas Iscariot), the Seventy and St. Paul. Self-appointed Apostles are always a red flag; no traditional denomination has allowed anyone to claim such a title.
*for example, in Pripyat, although there was an Orthodox church nearby in Chernobyl, which survived the disaster, has miraculously low radiation levels and is still open for liturgy, the only operational church in the Exclusion Zone.
Or as trained by Islamists who hate America. And the fact he was an asylee, is a stain upon the administration that let him in and the one that granted him asylum. Its a clear failure and just another reason why we need to be highly skeptical of anyone who wishes to come here from an Islamic country. Particularly the men.He didn’t mention that the shooter failed to cooperate with police, just as someone trained in CIA protocols and somehow, inexplicably, he failed to mention this man had been granted legal asylum by the Trump administration this past April.
If you truly love your neighbor as yourself, you will not harm your neighbor in any way.......They are called unto liberty, but they use it as occasion to the flesh, BITING AND DEVOURING ONE ANOTHER, CONSUMED OF NE ANOTHER, instead of LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF. ( they do not hear the word of faith, to WALK IN THE SPIRIT, as we see they were caught up in the LUST OF THE FLESH.)
Jesus will not return bodily to earth until the time of the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, 1 Corinthians 15:52In Matthew 24:32-34, Jesus said to learn the parable of the fig tree to know the time of His return. That generation would not pass away without seeing Jesus's return.
The fig tree represents Jerusalem, as Jesus cursed a fig tree beside the road for not having fruit as he and the disciples were entering Jerusalem the week he would be crucified, rejected by his own people the Jews.
In 1967, the Jews regained control of Jerusalem.
1967 + 70 years for a generation (Psalms 90:10) = 2037. Jesus will return by the end of 2037, not later than. We are living in the end times.
Well if you work in physics its understandable that 'Higgs' caught your eye.As I've said before, I often skip your long convos with other posters to reserve the time I can spend here to actual interactions with me (or other threads), so I didn't see this comment originally, and only saw it after scrolling past your later post this morning the words "Higgs boson" caught my eye. The Higgs interjection came from @Stopped_lurking used the search for the Higgs as an example to what they thought you were indicating. When I ask my questions below, I am not directly looking for the Higgs thing (as it wasn't your example), nor the pyramid EM focusing models from which this arose, but I ask a more general question.
What do you mean that modeling for theoretical physics is not replicated by is still accepted? Do you have specific examples or categories in mind? I ask for those of us who work in modeling systems in theoretical physics.
That isn't science, it is delusion, and I dont' think even the world centers on my country. I, personally, am mostly interested in the current events and politics of my own country as it takes too much time to track everything everywhere. I have also some lesser focused interests in a few other countries, but Christians are oppressed in any of those either.No but the idea that the universe centers around one country is.
Mass shooters have particularly disordered minds and their "manifestos" (when written and available) are messy jumbles of things from which it is difficult to find any organizing principle or motive.And I answered too, and you eventually revealed that you were never actually open to discussion by saying it was impossible to truly know someone else's motive
Sure I did. I mistook this as a thread in American politics where I often post. I was not dissuaded from that notion as all posts above mine were full of references to US history and politics. [If you see the "path" at the top of the page you can use that to navigate the site. Clicking on the "Politics" will take you to the page containing all of the politics sub-fora (including this one and the US politics one). In the entry for each forum there is on the right side a link for the latest post in each forum. If you go up one more level you will see a single entry of all of politics (next to other links to the science forum, the current events forum, etc.) and the same entry for the most recent post in all of the politics section. I likely saw this thread there and clicked on it out of curiosity not realizing it was post to "general politics" rather than "US politics". It is the same way I end up in threads started by people on my "ignore list".I've been given no evidence to the contrary on any of my claims
Not at all.
I read nearly all threads in P&LS and reply to many of them.It's his thread. You seemingly follow this guy around wherever he goes.
And if you knew anything about the subject you would know that there is no such thing as a biological race in humans. It is all social construct.Never said you did.
Yes, I understand what science is. Some of science's branches include anthropology, genetics, and sociology. For example, higher melanin production and hair phenotypes are all measurable factors in determining someone's race.
And you are but a youth. They key is to argue the points, not the man, or your perceptions of him based on a few simplistic labels.You certainly argue like one.
I mock the notion that the "sexual revolution" is an actual revolution. No governments were overthrown. It was a social movement.I'm tired of individually debunking each of your claims though because every time you get something factually wrong like denying the existence of the sexual revolution or the persecution of Christians outside of America you just flat out ignore it instead of conceding

I would have liked to have gone too a local gay pride parade & held up banner which said, ' Read Romans 1:27' I'm glad I didn't as a few of them were arrested.
