I remember when I was younger and just reflecting on how the gospel was preached it was simple. There wasn't all the counter and alternative ideas and rationalisations for not believing in God.Steve, thank you for laying out that graceful-exit roadmap. My own Tokyo witness has never hinged on clever rhetoric: I simply raise Jesus’ name, share the freedom He offers, and leave the growth to God. Online, my blogs try to encourage deeper thought, but the depth always points back to the One who deserves all praise, life, and love. It’s a daily struggle for us all—yet plant, witness, and bow we shall. Grace and peace to you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And that whatever was done (and they are no longer denying the "double tap"), Bradley was in charge.I think that's what's being read into it. But it seems more likely that Hegseth was referring to the boat strike period.
Some recent Sci-Fi is awesome.I like the response of just calling it "growing up". Also, a large draw of SciFi was the concept, the what if. I guess that when the ideas are nearing a quarter of a century old, and have been growing in familiarity all that time, they just lose their shine a bit.
I'm talking about the "double tap" to finish off survivors. For the military that is flat-out unlawful.I don't know if any of the strikes were lawful. It seems to depend on who you ask
Yes, but why couldn't there be two things?In biology, it's called "natural selection." It might look like magic, but species evolving in the same environmental pressures often tend to look very much alike.
I'd be interested in any literature about rat populations being able to learn more quickly after an isolated population learns something. What do you have?
God doesn't seem to think so:Belief in things unseen seems to be the problem.
I was referring to the article that I posted which you quoted. I am also referring to the article which said 500 Minnesota government workers are whistleblowers about the billions dollars fraud committed by Somalians in Minnesota.Did how did I know what article and authors were referenced? Prophecy?
Right. This has been observed for a very long time.Nothing new here.
It's always funny that YECs pretend that science is about faith, as thought faith were a bad thing. But science can't be about faith, since it depends on evidence. If your faith isn't strong enough to save you, science can't help.Keep looking and, as I'm sure you will, keep your faith in evol theory.
It seems so. You've confused evolution including macroevolution, which is an observed phenomenon, with universal common descent. And that is from genetics, not evolutionary theory. Even Darwin just supposed that God created some number of original living things.Nothing new here either and, yes, we've located the problem.
The one noted within the Department of Defense. Post 2.Reference to the law being violated?
"It ain't a war crime the first time."
Then show me how its wrong.It's not that you include a lot of history as background, it is about how much of that history is wrong.
Did how did I know what article and authors were referenced? Prophecy?I doubt you did. There's a lot more in that article than what you think.
well if only it is that simple, what do we do now?I can explain pretty much every single prophecy in the bible but it takes a long time so I will post an important one here
Jude quotes Enoch 7th from Adam about the Romans destroying Jerusalem 70 AD, and killing the people that killed Jesus, and quotes 1 Enoch 1:1-9. Enoch says it is a prophecy for a remote generation because he is writing pre flood about an event thousands of years into the future. He says people will be in tribulation like Jesus said 70 AD would be great tribulation. Enoch says God will come over MT Sinai because Jerusalem is metaphorically called MT Sinai (Galatians 4 25) first century AD, and Jesus told the apostles he was coming back in their lifetime. Jesus came back 70 AD like all the prophecies said, all the Israelites rose from the dead, the faithful ones got raptured same with some of the living pre destined elect remnant of the lost sheep of the house of Israel which was the 144 000 in Rev 7 all saved via belief in Jesus by 70 AD. Rev 1-12 happened 70 AD but Rev 13-22 is future. Gospel of Nicodemus inspired apocrypha for the wise only (like 1 Enoch is) has more info on people that raised from the dead the day Jesus died. Also some of the other acts Pilate has more info on the event too.
And Tribbles were 14 years old when they were plagiarized into a Star Trek episode, a Martian Flat Cat is the same by any name.Around 20-25 years ago I had a SciFi that I absolutely loved. As in I'd plan my time around the broadcast schedule for the next episode - didn't matter if I could record it, I couldn't wait that long.
I had all the DVDs, to make sure I'd seen every episode, and was hanging on to them with the idea that when I retire from work I'd watch them again.
Again, I didn't wait that long. I had some time on my hands, and realised the series is on Youtube, so I've been rewatching it. And it is kind of 'meh'. I have very little patience for the "wacky" filler episodes, little credulity for the likelihood of the overall story arc, and I couldn't care less about the romantic interest part.
A few things have changed with me in the 20-25 years since it was televised. I now don't have a tv, and don’t watch any series. I don't indulge in any fiction at all really.
I like the response of just calling it "growing up". Also, a large draw of SciFi was the concept, the what if. I guess that when the ideas are nearing a quarter of a century old, and have been growing in familiarity all that time, they just lose their shine a bit.
In biology, it's called "natural selection." It might look like magic, but species evolving in the same environmental pressures often tend to look very much alike.This is the solution I have been looking for, in regards to why convergent evolution exists - why an octagon shaped species on the north side of the planet looks almost exactly like a species on the south end, completely unrelated, and having evolved separately from one another. Couldn't it be true, that the one species existed first, and the successes were somehow *easier* to develop then for another.
The amount of times, and the amount of crabs that have evolved, completely unrelated - Couldn't it be, because it happened once, and twice, and then three - and then many more because of morphic resonance?
Actually, they are all decopod crustaceans. And interestingly, some lines of "crabs" have undergone "decarcination", suggesting that conditions changes, with a subsequent loss of crabby features. The reason this can happen is that arthropods, unlike chordates, are composed of a linear arrangement of essentially identical segments. Muscles, gills, legs, and so on. So they can rather easily change morphology.Species have evolved to look like crabs (a process called carcinization) at least five separate times in evolutionary history... Completely unrelated.
