Dear fellow Christians,

I've come across these very distinctive tiles and am hoping some of you might have insights into their origin, age, or any potential historical or religious symbolism they might carry. The patterns are quite intricate, and I'm particularly interested if they relate to any specific Christian historical period, culture, or architectural style.

I've attached an image for reference. Any knowledge or theories you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Blessings.

Matthew 16: 17 .... For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, hbut my Father who is in heaven.

Truth comes only from the Father and this is what the church was to be built upon, truth from the Father, not the doctrines, traditions nor will of man using God for their own purposes. Anyone putting their will ahead of the will of God, especially in religion, is working for the Adversary.

# 1 IS TO DO WHAT 1 Cor 11:1 what. all are to do , You become IMITATORS. of ME // in. the Greek is EMPHATIC.

CBS News' Weijia Jiang: "Did the president ever spend hours at Jeffrey Epstein’s house with a victim?"

Karoline Leavitt: "These emails prove [absolutely] nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong."

They should ask her these questions at night on the street. She could save the city on streetlighting given how bright her gaslighting is.

“Donald Trump is a stupid man’s idea of a smart person, a poor man’s idea of a rich man, and a weak man’s idea of a strong man.”

In other words, he's a fraud, but half the population can't see it.

Christians in Africa: Growth, Persecution, and America’s Role in Their Protection

Christianity is expanding on the African continent and wields great influence, but persecution and religious oppression remain critical issues. Senator Ted Cruz’s recent legislation shines a light on the plight of persecuted Christians, including terrorism, discrimination, displacement, and...

Obama is not getting royalties from Obamacare. That’s satire

President Donald Trump shared a claim that former President Barack Obama received millions in Obamacare-related royalties before Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency stepped in to stop it. That claim originated from satire.

www.politifact.com

apparently the claims are satire.

As your source indicates, clever Donald's post is real.

I thought I already cleared this up for you. I told you that God is not the Author of evil, but He does allow evil doers to do their wicked work for a time. Then He torments them is the lake of fire for all eternity, so God sill wins.
They do their thing for a short time but God does His thing forever, that's a bargain. I love it, just as I love everything else that God does.

So these evil people who died in the flood were doing what God wanted them to do or were they doing what God didn’t want them to do?

‘Arctic Frost’ Scandal: 51% Favor Impeaching Judge Boasberg

A narrow majority of voters agree with impeachment proceedings against a federal judge involved in the Biden administration’s “Arctic Frost” investigation that secretly targeted Republicans in Congress.

We will see how the country reacts as more information is forthcoming.

Public opinion is largely meaningless when it comes to impeachment. Or do you think that President Trump should be impeached too? After all 52% of Americans support the idea (at least back in April - it may be higher now): https://freespeechforpeople.org/wp-...americans-support-impeachment-rc-aso-memo.pdf

First, I still have a lot of respect for Shapiro,...

I do too. And when he was doing the college speaking years ago, I think he was excellent for conservatism. The perfect guy for that time.

zippy2006 said:
...but I think he mislead me a bit, and this in two ways.

I wouldn't be surprised. There are things to dislike about him. He can be...um...what's the word...can't say "shifty", can't say "crafty"... okay - disingenuous. The Dice video below is cued. Shapiro asks for money to help "children", never telling the listeners that 100% of donations go to help Jewish kids and families exclusively. I've double-checked what Dice says, and it's true. And Shapiro may or may not be directly involved with one or both charities. It's murky.

Imagine if I had a show and used it to get money that I gave to white kids only, or to Christian kids only, but you know, didn't think to mention that.

First, much of what is being said about Tucker strikes me as true, but after watching the whole interview I can see that Tucker was disagreeing with Fuentes, albeit very gently. This means that charges of "ideological laundering" pure and simple are not quite accurate.

It's possible Tucker didn't want to disagree with him sharply for the reason I gave a couple of posts above. Nick is good, and perhaps Tucker didn't want to be getting shown up on his large platform? But that's just speculation.

zippy2006 said:
Second, Fuentes is not as bad as I thought he was after I watched Shapiro's initial video. Resentment and anger seem to drive much of what he does, but he is at the same time intelligent, thoughtful, argument-based, and capable of self-reflection. For example, this is a surprising video.

That sort of forceful, emotional speech he makes near the beginning - I'd never heard that before. And it sounds like he's acting. In real life he's almost always smiling and happy and lighthearted even when discussing what he's been put through.

zippy2006 said:
At the same time, I think Fuentes' rhetoric is problematic, I think there is an affective problem (particularly with anger and resentment, albeit for legitimate injustices), and I think there are logical problems, including theologically,

Theologically. I've heard him say a few quirky things about his catholicism which I think are flat out wrong. But that's between you and him.

zippy2006 said:
* See for example this interview with Victor Davis Hanson.

I don't have time for the whole video. I found a little about Nick in the part where they're talking about Tucker. Is there anything else?

We are American citizens.

Cool, so am I. It's not that hard to accomplish. All you need is to be born in the US or have a US born parent bring you back home after birth abroad. I manged one of those on my first breath.

My family has been here since 1620.

And so has mine... no wait it hasn't. We're much more recent arrivals. Does that matter? VP Vance thinks it does.

I have people in the Revolution, the Civil War, WW1, WW2, Korea, VN, and the Gulf War. We have blood in this matter.

Yes, but did they fight for the right side (the US side) during the Slaveholder's rebellion? (I'll give you one guess in my case.)

SavedByGrace3 said:
My family has 250 years of blood, sweat, and tears. We cut down the trees, plowed the land, and picked up weapons when called up. We have been paying taxes since the nation was started.

Anyone that owns property here or comes on a temporary visa pays taxes. Do their views count now?

SavedByGrace3 said:
Foreigners can say anything they want. But their words really do not weigh beyond a logical position. Fine. They do not have any say in where that money goes. They have no say in who our leaders are. They have no say in our laws, our constitution, or the fate of our children. I assume they have problems in their own countries that need attending to.

One of the values of the outsiders perpective is that they *don't* have a say. They don't have to worry about if their taxes will go up or a policy will cost their jobs. They can evaluate without being influenced by how a choice will impact them directly.

SavedByGrace3 said:
They have a say there. Not here.
I do not ignore their opinions... I just wonder why they care what happens in my country?

If you don't understand the role the US plays in global everything, I can't help you. You should have learned that already.

There are the commandments besides those that were written by the finger of God, after God spoke those ones audibly. Many other things commanded, being subject to the ten, are of the shadows which involve the priesthood, the sacrifices, and the ways to be made clean, which we have Christ for in the new covenant, and the civil law, which is not up to the Christian believers. And what we can be obedient in with it being in Christ we can do.

Leaf473 said:
Sorry, I'm not following

Are you saying the commandments don't change except for the ones that are the civil law? Or any other commandment that we can't keep in Christ?

Everything of the law is subject to what was written in stone by the finger of God after God spoke those things, including the priesthood, the sacrifices, the ways to be me made clean in the rituals all of which were shadows in the old covenant that Christ is revealed to be in the new covenant, penalties in civil law are shadows of justice from God, which Christ bore for the redeemed, the ones with repentant faith that came, and those with that who will come, to Christ, and be restored to God. What to do right in that is still what is right to do, in the new covenant that was prophesied this would be from the heart, that is the essential change. Everything before God is to involve living justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.

Flaming, goading, and attacking your fellow Christians is not how to address this subject. As all the arguments presented here have led to that, all of them are wrong.

Flaming churches for using discernment over the phone is not really a good way to discuss this, and led to flaming those who disagreed with your flaming of a church. Churches need to know where a person is and what spiritual condition they are in in order to best help the person. They cannot give out cash in America because someone could lie to them and use the cash to buy illegal drugs. For these reasons, churches will help you if you show up in person, not over the phone. They need to get to know you before they can help, but they do help. Many churches in my area stock gift cards to give out to people in need and have benevolence funds to help Christians in their congregation who are struggling. Considering these facts may help you build a more rule-following discussion around these issues in the future that is more fair to churches and your fellow Christians here at CF.

In certain areas churches may be strapped for resources, but they should refer people to community resources that can help them instead of just refusing to help. Churches who do these referrals should not be shamed or blamed, as that leads to the more extreme flaming that we saw here.

Death of the soul is a metaphor historically used for the same concept- for that which happens when one is separated from God. And that's the point. So are you denying that man is born dead metaphorically, while truly dead to God, and must be born again?

I don't traffic in human metaphors for Biblically-stated truth.
Metaphors contain untruth and are problematic for Biblical concepts.

"Spiritual death" is the absence of eternal life within the humn immortal spirit, it is not "death of the soul."
Spiritual death does not mean current physical death, nor death of the human immortal spirit.
Most of living mankind is in spiritual death; i.e. no eternal (God's) life within their immortal human spirits.

fhansen said:
A distinction without much of a difference.

You make no distinction between physical death and spiritual death, seemingly treating them in the same way.
They are not the same thing, and do not have the same consequences.

1) The human spirit is immortal and does not die.
2) Spiritual death is not death of the immortal human spirit, it is the absence of eternal life within the immortal human spirit.
3) Spiritual death is not physical death.
4) Physical death is death of the physical body.

fhansen said:
How is imputing sin to anyone who isn't guilty of it any different-or better- or more just?

Well, man does not inherit sin (Eze 18:20).
Adam's sin is imputed by God, it being the pattern (Ro 5:14) for God's imputation of Christ's righteousness (Ro 5:18-19).

fhansen said:
You don't quite seem to get it. All fell with Adam and so all share the same fate and consequences. All are equally dead.
All need to be born again in order to live.

Do all need to be born again to have physical life?
They do not. . .

Rebirth (Jn 3:3-8) refers to eternal (God's) life within one's immortal spirit.
Rebirth does not refer to physical life.

Eternal life in the human spirit is not required for physical life.
One does not need to be spritually born again in order to be physically alive.

fhansen said:
Why, would you speculate, do all of Adam's descendants inevitably sin?
there's something more wrong with them than imputed sin.

Indeed. . .there is there nature, which makes them objects of God's wrath (Eph 2:3).

Adam's sin imputed to all mankind does not cause them to sin.
It simply counts them as guilty of Adam's sin and subject to its condemnation, it being the pattern (Ro 5:14) for the imputation of Christ's righteousness (Ro 5:18-19).

Authorities say a man who was recently fired from his job was arrested for threatening to commit a mass shooting at a Florida megachurch.

Michael Iaboni, 32, was arrested late Saturday evening and booked early Sunday morning over videos he posted and later deleted from his social media in which he threatened to attack a local church.

According to an affidavit from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Iaboni stated in the video that "I got fired, and I'm fired up." He declared, "It's all kill shot."

It's not about "the Protestant denominations," it's about the word of God in Scripture.

The rejection of a non-Scriptural doctrine (Co-Redemptrix) puts one in agreement with the God-breathed (theopnuestos, 2 Tim 3:16) word of God written.

Well, as you saw from King Charles the 'head' of the Anglican church, they are all turning and following after the entity that prophecy said would happen.

English Literature students at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom have been warned: Scripture contains some “graphic bodily injury and sexual violence.” Specifically, the institution highlighted the Old Testament account of Cain killing Abel and the gospel accounts of Jesus’ crucifixion.

Other literary works also receive trigger warnings, the university explained. In a statement, it said that type of “content note is a standard academic tool used to signpost when sensitive or graphic content will be discussed.”

But critics called the move a form of censorship, saying it is “misguided” and “absurd” to label God’s Word as potentially triggering.

UK University Slaps Violence Warning on Bible, Citing the Crucifixion and Cain and Abel

English Lit. students at the University of Sheffield in the U.K. have been warned: Scripture contains “graphic bodily injury and sexual violence.”

churchleaders.com

Its all about triggers and safe spaces to the point that it actually causes anxiety and division. If Cain killing Abel is a trigger warning then just about everything is a trigger warning. The news is a trigger warning whats happening in Nigeria is a trigger warning. Live assassinations on campuses are trigger warnings.

It is true that theres a lot of violence everywhere. But all this PC is really making it worse. Life is horrible sometimes. But what they don't tell you with the bible is there is a moral to the story. They always want to make it bad and leave out the good bits. If students got the full picture then they would actually be less triggered in life.
