    Did David rape Bathsheba?

    I stated that there are many men who are abused by their wives and, for their own various reasons, those men allow it. You're telling me over and over that you wouldn't allow it. That has nothing to do with the fact that there are many men who are abused by their wives and, for their own...

    Did David rape Bathsheba?

    A. They weren't trained to defend themselves without hurting anyone. B. If you restrain a violently aggressive woman, she's going to call the police and claim you abused her. And the police will believe her.

    Did David rape Bathsheba?

    Yes, there are many wives who physically abuse their husbands. It's true that the men could, if they got angry enough, put a physical stop to that, but for various reasons they allow their wives to continue striking them. That is still physical abuse.

    Why does a good God allow pain and suffering to exist in this world?

    Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?.... Do you not know that we shall judge angels? -- 1 Corinthians 6 The Greek word used here for “judge,” krino, also means “to rule or govern.” This strongly implies that we will have authority over the holy angels, for they have no sin for...

    Many reasons why the COVID vaccines are NOT the Mark of the Beast

    With the world already under control of the Lawless One, people take the mark of the beast to stay alive, not to be killed by the mark itself. If the mark itself is killing people...that's not how scripture says it's supposed to work.

    There were people arguing at the time, including in these forums, that the vaccine was the mark of the beast.

    Many reasons why the COVID vaccines are NOT the Mark of the Beast

    Also, people can't say that the vaccine killed anyone and at the same time say it was the mark of the beast.

    Many reasons why the COVID vaccines are NOT the Mark of the Beast

    That's a decent suspicion, but it has not been confirmed.

    Many reasons why the COVID vaccines are NOT the Mark of the Beast

    Graphene is not metal, not detectable by a metal detector, and everyone has far more iron (a metal that is detectable by an airport machine) in their bloodstream than the vaccinated have graphene of any type. The machine does not register the blood iron, so it certainly would not register a...

    Do pets go to heaven?

    We have pets on earth because we don't have enough love for each other. That won't be a problem in heaven.

    Conviction Ensures Trump Victory

    I have. While I was in the Philippines during the reign of Ferdinand Marcos, there was a brave newspaper editor who published opinions against him. One of Marcos' known political lieutenants had the editors three daughters kidnapped, murdered, dismembered, and their bodies stacked on the...

    "Happy" Memorial Day?

    I won't dispute that Biden is too doggoned old to be president of the United States. And so is Trump.

    Trump Found Guilty

    The other witnesses backed up Cohen's testimony, however, which strongly suggests that whatever he might have lied about, it was not about the central issues of the case.

    Trump Found Guilty

    No, not directly. There have been at least a couple of state officials who have served from prison, and some ex-felons who have been elected to state offices. The only thing that could happen is for Congress to pass a new resolution to prevent him from running or holding office...and that's not...

    Trump Found Guilty

    That was a lot faster deliberation than I'd have guessed.

    Expert says the Chinese military could seize Taiwan’s government buildings in under an hour

    Or easily. Distances are greater, there are numerous islands, and Luzon is a much larger island. And, more significantly, the Philippines has never been traditional Chinese sovereign territory.

    "Happy" Memorial Day?

    Well, I'm in my 70s, and I do occasionally forget someone's name without the intent of being disrespectful, so it's not "whataboutism." Or do you believe Biden intentionally called her by the wrong name? Intent matters.

    "Happy" Memorial Day?

    An old man getting a name wrong is nowhere near, in this universe or any other, the intentional, repeated public contempt Trump has heaped upon the military dead, imprisoned, and disabled.

    Expert says the Chinese military could seize Taiwan’s government buildings in under an hour

    And that build-up would be observed, these days, by a host of people...even civilians.

    "Happy" Memorial Day?

    That debate ended over 40 years ago. It's been "Ms" for every woman in the government without an official title since the 80s.
