Bene-gesserit?Bene-volent, or male-volent?
Correction: it’s Americans killing Americans. If only Americans weren’t so predisposed to crime and low morals there would not be this situation.Because 100% of the killing in Mississippi are blacks killing blacks
If it saves lives isn’t it worth it?"This is just the first step in getting rid of gun ownership!"
One minute you are refuting this and saying that no one walked on the moon; the next, you are saying that NASA arranged it so that 12 people walked on the moon.
Make your mind up.
Provide evidence that proves what you say, that makes liars of the astronauts and everybody else who was involved in the moon landings.
Why would NASA have to make it 12? Are you saying that they made it 12 to be the same as the number of tribes of Israel, and the number of apostles? Surely not,
You haven't proved anything.
That says absolutely nothing about the earth's shape.View attachment 371629
BIBLE VERSES WHICH TAKEN LITERALLY SUPPORT A FLAT EARTH-CENTERED UNIVERSE
Ecclesiastes 1:5
The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises".
1 Chronicles 16:30 NIV
Tremble before him, all the earth!
The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
So are you saying you believe the earth is a flat square or rectangle?]Revelation 7:1 - "After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth,
back the four winds of the earth..."
A globe can have quarters.
First, that is picture-language. God is a spirit. He doesn't literally sit. Second, the Hebrew word translated "circle" is elsewhere translated as "circuit." Thirdly, Isaiah writes, "above the circle of the earth", so the earth has a circle or circuit. He does not say, "He sits enthroned above the earth and the earth is circle." To say that "circle of the earth" means "the earth is a circle" is like saying that the wilderness is a pelican and the desert is an owl, because Psalm 102:6 says:Isaiah 40:22 NIV
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
Job 28:24 NIV
for he views the the ends of the earth
and sees everything under the heavens.
Equality is a very general term, and whether it's good or bad depends on the degree. People are confused about it.I am curious to hear you guys' thoughts on the issue of "equality", and whether it even matters to Jesus. I've heard many on the political left argue that it does, though I've heard many others (usually on the political right!) say it doesn't matter, that it's all just "woke" and "Marxism"; and that the only justice important to Christians is that we'll see when Jesus returns.
What do you guys think? I'd encourage everyone to check out this 4-minute video before you reply, as I think it sets good context for some of the dilemma I'm trying to get at with my question. And then let me know what you think, thanks: Login to view embedded media
What is spread. Why did both Max (mean) and Karoly (median) both claim the vases were in the precise class based on this measure. Karoyl explains this measure is the best way to measure the precision of the vase.Because what you are describing is not what they are reporting, for that the surface deviation plots are much more informative. Some of the Petrie vases differs more than mm's between the highest and lowest points on their surface. Machining tolerances are limits on spreads not medians and averages, I'll have to add in my understanding here. Precision is the reciprocal of a measure of spread, as in when the spread is low the precision is high. Take this with a heap of salt I'm just putting machining terms in terms I normally use.
Nevertheless they fall in the precise class. If Max's precise class is M < 25 thousandths of an inch; then the Petrie vases are in the precise class.The Petrie vases are not as precise as modern vases or Matt Bealls vases in the precise class.
Yes and this is why its an out of place artifact. That we find maching marks like modern machining on 5,000 year old vases. It is the same for the modern circular saw cuts in the stones. These are out of place signatures and they cannot all be modern fakes. Like someone was going around with a circular saw in the 20th century hacking into Egyptian monuments and works.You do understand that the most likely source of modern machining marks, are modern (from the 19th and 20th century) machines?
Lol new digs. I think they have dug up aaabout everything. Unless the authorities are hiding stuff from us. Or a new grave or tomb is found with some vases. Like I said we don't need to do that when theres literally 1,000's already available in museums and private collections.Yes, we exclude them. If these precision vases actually were made 5000 years ago, we would expect to keep finding them in new digs.
Yes I agree. But I think there is pretty good provedence already on at least some of the vases. Like from the Petrie museum. Put it this way. Do you think they are good enough, round enough to have been turned.I don't want to nullify anything, but without good provenance no one will ever be convinced that a vase should be taken seriously.
Do you mean the difference of the radius from the center point of the vase slice to the outside of the vase at that particular point. Then the error or deviation from a perfect circle for that radial point. This is done for each and every point around each slice.Both made mistakes, both need to go back and redo the analysis and report the radius difference between the minimum and maximum circle covering the perifery of the object. I gave you a picture from ISO 1101 in an earlier post.
Because lets say that most of the vases have been found now. There are no more. So they are now either in a museum or a private collection. Most of the vases in museums are from Petrie. Yet Petrie gave 100s away as gifts from the same digs. But he gave away the very best ones. The vases that will be the most likely candidates of the precise class.Why, if they do not have good provenance? A measurement of something you don't know where it came from or what has a happened to it is next to meaningless. If one finds an object beautiful than one should of course display it.
Yeah that will come. In the mean time its a bit of fun. But also as I said getting fixated on this specific example takes away from the overall view of out of place works all over the world that lend support for ancient lost advanced tech and knowledge. As with the circular saw cuts and many other examples it gets to a point where you cannot deny something is out of place in ancient times.If they want the input from the professionals they'll have to put it articles in journals.
He has done.God won't let them, there's a big difference.
You refuse to believe thy have walked on the moon - big difference.But they haven't walked on the moon.
Don't be ridiculous.Well NASA would have to make it 12, what a huge coincidence.
But He has let them, twelve times so far.God won't let them, there's a big difference.
Provide evidence that proves what you say, that makes liars of the astronauts and everybody else who was involved in the moon landings.But they haven't walked on the moon.
Why would NASA have to make it 12? Are you saying that they made it 12 to be the same as the number of tribes of Israel, and the number of apostles? Surely not, because according to you, NASA is trying to hide God.Well NASA would have to make it 12, what a huge coincidence.
You haven't proved anything.Prove first, then hold on.
And you're saying the bible says "He came down physically". Highlight where it says "He came down physically".Your probably not aware that the phrase "second coming" does not exist in the Bible. It is however replete with examples of the coming of the Lord.
![]()
The Bible has dozens of examples where the Lord physically and literally came down to earth on certain days to administer judgment, oversee calamity and fulfill promise and prophecy. These days of the Lord where he physically and literally comes down to the planet is where the Bible's doctrine of the coming of the Lord comes hails from. What does not exist in the Bible is the phrase "the second coming." Unlike the phrase "the Trinity" that is also not in the Bible but that at least goes along with what the Bibles teaches. The idea of a "second" coming or advent changes the Bibles teaching on the matter and renders the Bible's prophecy incomprehensible. Which by the way is design of the phrase. To turn peoples eyes away from the supernatural clarity of the Bible's prophecy and turn those eyes to something the Bible does not prophesy at all. Apocalyptic end of the world scenarios.

God has not given a command that says men should never go to the moon.
If God was so upset/displeased that men had walked on the moon, why did he let them do it on 3 further occasions?
12 men walked on the moon - 12.
It wouldn't surprise me if someone, somewhere was drawing a comparison between the 12 tribes of Israel, the 12 disciples, the 12 precious stones which decorate the wall in Revelation 21 and the 12 who walked on the moon.
I have mention before the reason why He wasn't too pleased at Babel. He had specifically commanded the people to spread out over the earth. The builders of the tower went directly against God's command to spread out:He weren't to pleased at Babel.
You didn't hold fast then, did you?
Which was nothing like the moon landings, as you've been told.He weren't to pleased at Babel.
What was GOOD was when you said "sorry" to God for doubting the astronauts, wrote a prayer on these forums asking him to bless them, and saying that you would ask for his (God's) help in sticking to your new belief.King James Bible
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good - 1 Thessalonians 5:21
Well as he gave people curiosity and the ability to discover, ask questions and experiment; as he gave gifts of science and invention, I expect he'd be pleased that they used them.
