I think it is a lie to look at those images and say they are images of fishing boats. Do you agree?

“I saw a white male shooting at another person, a Black male,” said Michael Starks, who was in the parking lot when the shooting happened. “He could have hit him in the back, could have killed him, could have had a stray bullet that struck someone else.”

Police say 64-year-old Steven Douglas Wagner pulled a pistol and fired near the garden center around 3 p.m. at the store on Atlanta Highway.

A Lowe’s employee told police the young man had not stolen anything, according to Starks.

Starks called 911 and followed Wagner back into the store and snapped a photo that helped police make an arrest within minutes.

He said Wagner’s demeanor was concerning.

“He honestly thought he did nothing wrong and should have been rewarded for his actions,” Starks said.

The results I received from ChatGPT contained three denominations, ranked by the prompt parameters, and three honorable mentions. That is six denominations in total.

If asked the AI will explain how it determined its conclusions. It will go into detail, and even give risk of error evaluations for each denomination. It offers to do a reassessment. It goes out of its way to explain why it comes to the conclusions it does, and even offers to look at it from a different perspective.

I don't know about your ChatGPT, but mine isn't actively engaged in trying to get me to join a specific denomination, let alone six.

Try this more generic form of the question

Using strict rules, identify the largest Trinitarian Christian denominations that (1) claim Scripture is sufficient to test all doctrine, (2) possess a single global administrative authority, (3) maintain one unified set of binding official doctrines for all members, and (4) contain no autonomous subgroups within their membership.

'No more Mr. Nice guy!' Trump erupts as Dem lawmaker he pardoned sticks with party​

President Donald Trump lashed out at Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) on Sunday after learning that the lawmaker – whom he had pardoned this week following bribery and conspiracy charges – still plans to run for re-election as a Democrat, decrying it as “such a lack of loyalty.”

I have no doubt Trump is using, I mean abusing, the presidential power in a transnational means. More than one person has claimed in Trump's first term through Rudy Giuliani a pardon could be bought for 2M. One one hand that could be just a Rudy thing, but on the other hand Trump is know for demanding compensated in one form or another for his actions. Several pardons are of people who campaign donated or enacted business transactions with his sons.

On Dec. 5, officers responded to a report of a vehicle crash in a Publix parking lot.

When they arrived, they found a Chevy Silverado with 43-year-old Benjamin Donald Johnson behind the wheel. Johnson refused multiple commands by police to get out of the truck.

As Johnson sat the back of a police cruiser, an officer overheard Johnson says there was a “dirty bomb” in his truck. Officers found a yellow plastic container secured with chains and locks, with a radioactive warning label.

With the help of personnel from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, ATF, and an FBI bomb technician, it was advised that the device inside the container was a moisture density gauge, commonly used for soil testing. The experts said it emits less radioactivity than a medical X-ray.

A search of Johnson’s truck yielded several firearms and ammunition, firearm magazine speed loaders, thermal scopes, knives, a battering ram, night vision goggles, cannabis and gummies which tested positive for THC.

That's a long, long stretch.

So, what's happening to people in Acts 2 and Acts 4?

What does Paul mean when he says this:

Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality, as it is written: “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.” -- 2 Corinthians 8

It is useful for tracking trends, as an early alert system for possible problems. For instance, if a significant number of unexpected adverse events followed a particular medicine or procedure, then that should be investigated. What did you think it is for?

That makes sense, as an alert subject to verification.

But people making judgements on unverified reports in this environment is witch hunt quality thinking.

No need for two. I believe that it did move. It was taken all at once to the third heaven when Jesus ascended.

“The practice of non-violence requires the belief in God’s vengeance.”

Wow!

Those who do not believe in God thus cannot be non-violent. Maybe a rare individual, but generally we can expect violence from them if they feel it opportune.

I have presented my understanding, with logical, sensible and Biblical support.
The extra days as Prophesied in Daniel 12, will come AFTER Jesus Returns.

I regard your 'charts' as wrong and the end times cannot happen as you portray.
The main point in your errors is the rapture/resurrection at any time; belief. Having to allow for that to take place, colours all the rest of your end times set out.
My Forum friends; no one is going to leave earth, such an idea is contrary to Gods plans for humankind. We must endure until the end.
After Jesus Returns, then Atonement will be made for any sins and the Temple will be cleansed and rededicated.
After 30 days and 75 days; respectively.

That's what people do when they don't have a biblical argument. Only Scripture was quoted, nothing else.

If you feel we don't have to keep the Ten Commandments, God's Laws and "whoever" means Jews only, and we don't have to only worship God or keep His commandments and can make the word of God of no effect Mat 7:7-13 Mat15:3-14, guess we shall find out soon enough.

Trump was a Democrat in 1993 so it stands to reason he was a criminal.

Data shows a stark contrast between the administrations. Under President Trump (FY 2017–2021), encounters were relatively low and stable, averaging under 500,000 annually, influenced by pandemic restrictions like Title 42. Under President Biden (FY 2021–2025), encounters surged to record highs, averaging over 2 million per year through 2023, driven by global migration pressures, policy perceptions, and post-pandemic recovery—though they declined sharply in late 2024 due to new restrictions. The unauthorized immigrant population grew by about 3.5 million from 2021–2023 (reaching 14 million total), with net international migration hitting 2.8 million in 2024 alone. Under Trump's second term (starting January 2025), encounters have plummeted to historic lows (e.g., under 8,000 per month by October 2025), with zero releases into the U.S. and increased deportations. Key Data ComparisonThe table below summarizes annual southwest border encounters (the primary indicator of illegal immigration attempts) based on CBP data. Figures are fiscal year (October–September) unless noted; Biden's FY 2025 data is partial (through December 2025).
