"Old and new agree not." William Tyndale


There's a whole heap of material from Tyndale preaching against the law of moses, and I'm half tempted to modernize it and use it in my bible I'm making.

Tyndale certainly isn't the first voice "who professed to know God", that teaches against God's Laws. There was a voice that existed in the garden with Eve, who professed to know God, that preached against God's Laws. The preachers of this world in Noah's Time, preached against God's Laws. Sodom, preached against God's Laws. Egypt preached against God's Laws. The rebellious children of Israel preached against God's Laws. The wicked Kings of Israel preached against God's Laws. The Priests of to Temple in Jeremiah's time and Malachi's time, preached against God's Laws. The mainstream preachers of John the Baptist, and his father, Zacharias, preached against God's Laws. And Jesus Himself said that in the Judgment, "Many" who call Him Lord, Lord, preach against God's Laws.

But it seems prudent to point out that the Church of God through out the entire Bible, those whose "refuge is the Lord", like David and Paul and the First Church of God under HIS New High Priest, and the Messiah Himself, the Lord's Christ Jesus, didn't preach against God's Laws.

Are you aware that in Israel today there is a very popular movement to build the third temple ? The ”Temple Mount Faithful “ is just one group and certain prominent members of the Israeli government along with some false Christians are involved. Google the information about this, you may find it interesting.

So? The president only stated that Mary would go on to give birth to Jesus our Savior. There is
nothing contradicting what President Trump said.

Go back and read your own words, and you should be embarrassed for being so dishonest in in them. " the Seventh Day Adventist church, teach that those who worship on Sunday will receive the mark of the beast and will reject the seal of God". You should be embarrassed, and amend your error.

SDA isn't teaching folks not to worship God on a Wednesday or a Sunday.

Just how far will you go to justify such foolishness.

The world will hear its own people. The world cannot hear GODS people. The truth of GOD is foolishness to them. Without the Holy Spirit no one can understand spiritual things. Jesus , the prophets and Apostles confirm this. They are of the world and the world hears them. It is their leaders, both religious and political that cause the world to err and destroy the way of their paths. The Apostle Peter tells us something very important, 1 Peter 1:12 , the prophets they were serving a future people who would be the church. I believe that after the death of the apostle John that massive deception began to enter. I believe that pagans in Rome that heard Paul preach abducted or kidnapped the Christian name and because they didn’t have the Holy Spirit created tremendous heresies. These are those men who crept in unawares and brought with them damnable heresies. Whose idea was the pulpit, who first came up with it ? Who Actually caused that period in history called the dark ages ? It was the eldest daughter of the harlot of Babylon and she would later be joined with her harlot sisters to form what is falsely called today Christianity. This, no matter how true, these worldly pulpits will never believe. Oh yes, they do have bits and pieces of truth and they know the buzz words but there is no unity but division, no agreement on doctrine or on leadership. This is the Babylon that in the near future worship the man of sin. GOD calls HIS people out of, not into, these synagogues of Satan. Come out from among them and be you separate, touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you. GOD ALMIGHTY has a church that for all intents and purposes is invisible to this current evil world. Only GOD can put a person into HIS church. There are no pulpits there.

Wait, why would President Trump charge his view during his third trem?

In the end, it should be left up to the Bishop of that diocese. The Vatican involvement shows that
they really don't give authority to the local Bishop. Let the Vatican pay to keep those churches open
and provide the priests to run them.

Federal judge strikes down Trump’s order blocking development of wind energy​

• A federal judge ruled Trump’s wind energy permit ban was “arbitrary and capricious,” striking down a Day One executive order in a major industry victory.
• The ban temporarily halted federal wind leasing nationwide, forcing at least seven major offshore projects to pause and threatening billions in investments.

U.S. District Judge Patti B. Saris, for the District of Massachusetts, ruled that the ban is “arbitrary and capricious and contrary to law,” and said the concern about “grave harm” was insufficient to justify the immense scope of a moratorium on all wind energy.

“A court has agreed with California and our [16] sister states nationwide: The Trump Administration’s attempt to thwart states’ efforts to make energy more clean, reliable, and affordable for our residents is unlawful and cannot stand,” California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said in a statement. “The Trump Administration seems intent on raising costs on American families at every juncture — and California is equally committed to challenging every one of its illegal attempts to make life more expensive for Californians.”

“This ban on wind projects was illegal, as this court has now declared. The administration should use this as a wake-up call, stop its illegal actions and get out of the way of the expansion of renewable energy,” said Kit Kennedy, the [Natural Resources Defense] council’s managing director for power, in a statement.

Given the fact that the EU occupies a landmass that's smaller than the US, it makes perfect sense for them to "team up" on certain shared services.

For instance, it doesn't make sense for them to have 27 different versions of the FAA. It makes sense for them to team up on some defense capabilities. 27 disjointed air forces are less effective than 2 or 3 bigger ones that are the result of collaboration with a few decision makers steering the ship.

And given the close proximity, certain border travel agreements make sense. (I wouldn't want to go through a lengthy customs process every time I went to Pennsylvania)


But I do think it should be more of a federalist model, where there are certain "infield" and certain "outfield" aspects.

Structured more like a federalist system like we have in the US, where the certain "key" initiatives are mandatory buy-ins (the infield), but where each member nation/state still maintains the right to "go their own way" on stuff that's not of international concern (the outfield)


The one potential flaw I see... Their HQ needs to be in London or Berlin, not Brussels.

The seat of any international organization needs to be in a place that embodies a more diverse set of viewpoints that would be more likely to be amicable to all parties involved. When you place the HQ in an ideological bubble (within the Overton window you're working with), that leads to contention. The UN HQ being in NYC would be an example of that.

As an American with traditional conservative values, I hope the European Union remains united. A stronger Europe that maintains close ties with the United States benefits both regions and the world as a whole. I still wish that after 2028, we can restore our relationship with Europe to what it was over the past eighty years—marked by America's unwavering support for defending Europe and upholding the NATO alliance.

One challenge for the EU is that its countries have a long history of rivalry and conflict, with less than a century since the last wars over land and power. Achieving greater cohesion is likely to take more time, possibly another hundred years and new generations.

Hallelujah isn't a religious song either

Click to expand...

According to my google search;

The song "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen explores themes of love, faith, and human experience. It draws on biblical stories, particularly those of King David and Bathsheba, to illustrate the complexities of love and betrayal. The lyrics reflect a deep emotional range, capturing both the beauty and pain of relationships, as well as the struggle between hope and despair. Cohen's use of the word "Hallelujah" in various contexts adds layers of meaning, making the song resonate with listeners across different experiences and beliefs.

I especially like the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Then, perhaps, Romans and I Corinthians. But wherever they start, read whole books, not just isolated verses.

These dietary laws were given to Israel as part of the Mosaic laws. So now your sect is picking and choosing which laws to obey.

“For all who are of works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things written in the book of the Law, to do them.””

Interesting. The complaints listed in the petition are, honestly, the first things I think of when I think of the PCA. Opposition to women's ordination, opposition to LGBTQ people, strict adherence to a particular set of doctrines -- I thought these were the reasons the PCA existed as a separate body from other Presbyterians. I invite correction from PCA folks on CF, as I'm obviously looking in from the outside, but, really, I thought these things were what the PCA deliberately stood for.

(I'll add: Most of our churches in the US have a complicated history with the American Civil War. The PCA does too, but I hope we're all working to heal and repent from those past sins. The plank in the Episcopal Church's eye is big enough on this issue that I'm not ready to look at the splinter in the PCA's eye yet.)

My most obvious thought is that the PCUSA is right there. For the authors of the petition, why stay with the PCA? Why were you in the PCA to begin with, instead of the PCUSA?

ThatRobGuy said:

Yes, however, there's a caveat

Per Justia:
Ultimately the judge has the authority to resolve disputes during jury selection, though the specific procedures can vary by jurisdiction.


Here's how it typically works:


During voir dire (jury selection), both sides can challenge potential jurors in two ways:

• For cause - when there's a specific reason the juror can't be impartial (like bias or a relationship to a party)
• Peremptory challenges - a limited number of challenges without needing to give a reason (though these can't be used to discriminate based on race or gender)

When lawyers disagree about whether a juror should be struck for cause, the judge makes the final decision. The judge evaluates whether the person can indeed be fair and impartial based on the legal standard.


If lawyers exhaust their peremptory challenges and still object to certain jurors, they're generally stuck with whoever remains in the pool.


And while not directly related to this, there appears to be a lot of "funny business" that goes on in the city was referring to.

But isn't it also possible to change the location of a trial if an impartial jury would be difficult to find? A change of venue?
