It's either Japan or HawaiiI’m pretty sure that if that map is to be believed, Japan is the largest country on Earth.
It's not just Democrats that are having "existential meltdowns" about the vaccine schedule changes. It's pretty much the entirety of the US medical profession.
It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians, that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church.

Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act. And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters.
—C. F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons, in answer to a letter regarding the change of the Sabbath, November 11, 1895.
Some time before they've completed all of the necessary prerequisites. There's a reason that ex post facto laws are generally prohibited in this country.What should be the procedural cut-off for when an executive branch makes an administrative change to rules and prerequisites?
Is it when certain paperwork is filed?, when someone is X% of the way through the process?
You said that there was a distinction between immigrants and refugees. Trump canceled the temporary protected status of Haitians and is sending them back in February. I figured since you made the distinction, you knew something about the places where these folks were being sent back to.I have been there in the early sixties other than that I haxe no idea, should I know?
I am not an astronaut.
My point stands firm. "No where in the Bible does it say that God will write His commandments contained in the covenant made with His people, Israel, on Mount Sinai, on Gentile hearts."He said He writes His laws.
God said this in the Ten Commandments
Exo 20:6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
So who defines what God's laws are He, or man.
The only correct answer is God. He wrote them He spoke them He claimed them as His, He numbered them by design Deut4:13 Exo34:28 as He had the foresight that man would tinker with the Dan7:25 its the Testimony of God Exo 31:18 the work of God Ex32:16 there is not much more God could have done had He not come down from heaven and personally wrote them out, He did that too. If we can't believe God to define His owns laws, than I don't think we need Bibles anymore, its basically a free for all. No wonder why there is so much sin in the world.
I made a post about it. It links back to Solomon 3 times via 666, and also wisdom, and understanding which links to the modern country "Israel", and the mark of the beast is the hexagram. It is in heavy code so that it can only be unlocked by someone that studies the bible a lot, studies the life of Solomon deliberately, and specifically, is willing to follow the text of the bible wherever it leads, and is willing to say what the bible says even if it is unpopular amongst other Christians. Also if it said in plain language "the mark of the beast is the hexagram on the future country Israel" the Christian Zionists would mock the bible, and say it has been corrupted that is not what it said originally.Worth Price Charged opinion here. The Revelator seems to assume that his readers will know to whom "666" refers. IMO that lends credibility to the idea that it's simply an encoded name used to keep the the letter itself from becoming a basis for arrest/perscution/execution.
Are you not middle-aged Australian?Not only is your idea of me warped
I had to build the most extreme caricature of an ignorant MAGA Trump superfan to come close to your dogmatic and uninformed presentation on the current US president. I was certainly not stereotyping American Trump supporters.but your idea and steroetypes of Trump supporters is also twisted and strange.
Guests on "Lindell . tv" do not meet the normative definition of experts.My info and view comes from expert analysis and not MAGA.
I disagree because I am basing this off the politicians and expert political commentators. How is it deranged when its truth lol.
The other posters? I could believe that you take the worst of their ideas and layer on your own ignorance of American politics, culture, and history.They are the ones who said it lol. Where do you think I got this. I have also been following this for years.
Which is not America. (My HS classmates also got stuck fighting that war.)I actually got caught in the first Iraqi war in Kwait.
Than me wasn't the issue. It was your knowledge relative to the other conservative posters. I'd still put up their understanding of American reality over you any day of the week and twice on Sunday.I think you underestimate my knowledge and experience.
But I do so I am more informed than you.
Real or not, it is irrelevant to the thread and THAT was my point.Which is real.
You were whingeing about anti-Christian bias related to criticism of Trump's policy/action which is rather silly as Trump is at best a nominal Christian. (And I understand the moral depravity of your position on narco boat killings.)There you go. You jump into my posts and don't even know what your complaining about. It was in response to the one sided moral claims about the Narco boats.
Are the Aussie commentators really that bad? (or just the ones on the "Fox News" of Australia.) (I am well aware that Ruprect Murdock is Australia's worst crime against America.)I used those examples to show how they are bias and have no moral ground. You don;t need to know a detailed history of American politics or Trump to know this as its quite plain to see. Even the Australian commentators say the same.
But how can you *know* what any poster's position on drone strikes by Obama or whatever was? You certainly don't know mine. Now please, let's go back to discussing the news item on the current sequence of drone strikes on drug boats off the coast of VenezuelaThey do when people are making bias moral claims. The perfect rebuff is to show how they have no moral ground to stand on and they have allowed the same and it was quite ok then. But not now because its Trump.
Thank you. I made some corrections I think are in important.Truly a novel reading of the chapter.
Thanks for helping me see how that suggestion unfolds.
Historically, figures like Irenaeus, Hippolytus, and later Protestant reformers emphasized the Messiah's coming within this single 490 year timeline.
Vs 25 "70 weeks have been cut off" is a reference to the fact that the Angel shows up in Dan 9 to give "an explanation of the vision previously written as Dan chapter 8. So then Dan 9 is a much needed help for Dan 8. At the end of chapter 8 Daniel complains that it is not explained.
Dan 9 verse 25 says in essence that the first 70 weeks (490 years ) of the 2300 year timeline in chapter 8, are devoted to details regarding the coming of the Messiah in the first century AD>
Actually; He has, but the understanding of it all is hidden to most. Daniel 12:10bGod hasn't made his view clear and decisive.
Never spiritualize anything that can literally be fulfilled.I don't think these passages should be understood in a literal manner.
The Holy Land is not large enough for billions of the righteous to physically live comfortably there
That was a very clever thing to do by Hegseth. When you consider our nation's negligent National Security and DoD objectives, 2021-'24.
We are not at war with Venezuela or drug traffickers. The drugs, if any on the boats, are not headed to America, at least not directly.The laws of armed combat
Surrender has not been offered to any of the boats.says that lethal force can be authorized against an enemy combatant once the enemy target has be confirmed and is not surrendering.
6 Mexican cartels and 2 transnational cartels have been designated terrorists by Trump but drug traffickers have not, nor has Congress designated the cartels as foreign terrorists. This leaves the legality of using deadly force against the vessels leaving Venezuela in serious doubt.Nothing more. Just another reminder, we are not talking about criminals, we are talking about designated terrorists
The Cartels are not designated combatants under the global war on terror.and combatants in the global war of terror. No different than ISIS.
Then some have forgotten when they use this to beat down Christian beliefs and God with that very science lol.Scientists already have "admitted" this, In fact they insist on in in the face of Christian lies to the contrary.
Well, First Lady Melania Trump is reported to be a practicing Catholic, so in that sense I suppose a conversion by the President would have some logic behind it. Having said that, I will leave it up to others here to speculate how likely it might be for President Trump to convert.Amazing. There's a saying, no Mary, no Jesus; know Mary, know Jesus. Could conversion be a possibility? I think Charlie Kirk was on the same path.
Because we are seeing rhe Islamists in action actually doing it. Christian nationalists are few and far between. And fewer still those called for the death of gays.
Whereas there are millions of Islamists who want to and have ruled in many countries. And they are flooding other western countries now doing the same.
It's still biased. You might not be getting Catholic Church, but I have twice. Which means, whatever answers you're getting isn't proof of anything.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 doctrtinally autonomous subgroups within their membership
Resulted in this just now
==========================================
AI said
The largest Trinitarian Christian denomination that meets all four of the specified strict criteria (as refined in the previous interaction regarding doctrinal autonomy) is the
Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church.
Here is how the SDA Church meets each of the refined strict rules:
While other large global denominations exist (such as the Roman Catholic Church), they fail at least one of these criteria, primarily the first (regarding the sufficiency of Scripture alone) or the fourth (due to varying internal practices or historical schisms not related to formal disfellowship rules).
- 1. Claim Scripture is sufficient to test all doctrine: The SDA Church officially states that the Bible is the supreme standard and the sole foundation of its beliefs.
- 2. Possess a single global administrative authority: The Church operates under a hierarchical structure with the General Conference serving as the highest global administrative authority, ensuring worldwide coordination and governance.
- 3. Maintain one unified set of binding official doctrines for all members: The 28 Fundamental Beliefs constitute a globally binding set of official doctrines for all members, approved by the General Conference in session.
- 4. Contain no doctrinally autonomous subgroups within their membership: The denomination's policies ensure doctrinal unity; rejecting the fundamental beliefs is grounds for disfellowship, meaning any groups with differing doctrines are outside the official membership of the denomination.
