yes, genuine love for others manifest itself in giving of one’s own person, time and energy to helping those around them who are in need. Genuine love for others, does not express itself in coursing others to follow their agenda or use public money to minister to others.

Genuine love for others can only come through us from Christ, and it is not self aggrandizing, nor is a virtue signaling. Genuine love for others causes us to do things for others while any private meaningful way while not letting our left hand know what the right hand is doing. That way, your father who is in heaven will see what you’ve done and you’ll get your reward from him and not from the accolades of others.

You may have read that Hep B vaccination has prevented 90,000 deaths and 1,000,000 hospitalizations. However, both of those claims seem to be made up from whole cloth by people who stand to gain financially by making you believe them. Here's a great article on the topic:


Feel free to see if you can figure out where the data came from that claims Hep B vaccination has prevented 90,000 deaths. Links are provided the article so you can search for yourself. What I found was a tangled web of people making sensational claims with no data to support them and a heckuvalot of financial conflicts of interest.

To me, it appears you want to create your own authority/priestly class, using old English or not using old English. This is wholly unscriptural.

No, he didn't plot great circle routes, he drew straight lines on a globe when they would actually be curved lines. They are only straight if the globe is oriented so that the end points lie on a line bisecting the globe.

Like I said, he is retarded.

Ok but this doesn’t negate the fact that God has ordained both royalty and clergy. This is clearly stated in the Bible and I shouldn’t need to back it up.

Biden was warned his soft-on-immigration proposals would cause ‘chaos’ — but he ignored it, damning memo reveals​

"Come back when you can walk on water"

But now commands all men everywhere to repent Because He has appointed a day in the which they will be judged.... And has given assurance unto all in that He raised Christ from the dead.

If it was not possible for them to repent, then they have a very good excuse for judgement day, can you understand that?

I wish people that call themselves Christian would remember that we all deserve a death sentence. It is only the love and compassion of God that Jesus died so we might live. If we can't show compassion, we shouldn't call ourselves Christian.

But here is an interesting question, if you had the chance to kill the 9/11 hijackers before they boarded the planes that killed 2,977 people, would you? But every year, 72, 776 people in the US die from fentanyl, and 29,449 with cocaine. That is over 34 9/11 attacks in the United States every year! So yes! I celebrate the deaths of every single one of these monsters so that innocent people can live.
So who is more "pro-life?"

Our laws do not call for the death penalty for drug traffickers. These people can be stopped and have the drugs confiscated and get information from those arrested.

Killing, indiscriminately, is murder. There is no difference between a missile strike and stopping the boat and shooting each person in the head. It's an execution.

Scripture says, in the twinkling of an eye. No second chances, your name is either in the book as one washed white in the blood of the Lamb, or it is not. Why did John tell us to prepare, why are we to make sure that we are like the wise virgins, dressed and ready, with oil in our lamps, to meet our Lord?

Click to expand...

So you must believe that Revelation 11 is very figurative. I don't say it has anything to do with second chances, just that it is real, rather literal not figurative, such that the devil has little option but to try and hide and mask the fact when those two prophets arrive.

The lake of fire is real, as you allude to, indeed some will go straight to it when they 'wake up' from death. But it is not some outerspace place or some other dimension. The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God. Psalm 9:17. The two prophets do the initial kindling of the lake of fire, literally, they will show and demonstrate that the Messiah also will literally breath divine fire.
And in that manner must anyone who hurts them be killed Revelation 11:5, the beast and false prophet indeed hurt them and therefore must be killed by the fire they start, and we know that the beast and false prophet are thrown into the lake of fire Revelation 19:20, these passages must both be true, and therefore also we clearly see that indeed it is the prophets that first kindle the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the result of this current world destroyed by divine fire. Started by the two prophets then the Messiah and then the Father sends down the final fire that destroys the sky land and sea Revelation 20:9- 21:1 2 Peter 3:8-12

Yeah when I first discovered AI Overview I thought it was so neat. Quick and easy to use. Until the answer wasn’t what I’d been hoping for, so I reworded the question….same question though, and it gave me the answer I wanted. That’s happened many times. I was playing around with it one night deliberately asking questions different ways and saw how unreliable it is.

Click to expand...

There are ways of getting an LLM to objectively answer certain types of questions, but those questions must have objectively defined terms and answers that are not subject to statistical bias but which rather derive their truthfulness from pattern recognition. For example, AIs can reliably identify a cat, a human face, or read text, because this is pattern-recognition; they can also to some extent write usable code (although often they make obvious sub-optimal decisions in the coding process and sometimes will write bugs, depending on the language; chatGPT is extremely reliable at writing Python for the simple reason that in Python there is only one obvious way of doing something, so the scope for optimization is extremely limited, and also chatGPT can run Python code internally and thus simulate the output of that code. However, even then there are limitations, because it can’t install third party packages using pip, so as a result the numerous useful libraries for chatGPT can’t be directly tested by the LLM; the LLM can only evaluate the performance of the base language.

If a question can be answered by an AI using pattern recognition, all modern AIs (Grok 3, Google Gemini, chatGPT 5.1) should produce the same results.

AIs can also be used as super-search engines to research areas of interest and find documents and sources that can be cited, but citing the AI itself is always an appeal to unqualified authority fallacy, for reasons that are evident and you yourself have encountered - changing the form of the question changes the answer. And its not, as was argued by another member, a question of making sure the AI isn’t confused; rather, subjective questions get subjective answers, which are inherently non-deterministic.

In summary, the question being posed here, that I am objecting to, is a subjective question dependent on statistical interpretation using disputed terms, and not a question that AI can answer relying on pattern recognition using terms which are objective and not disputed, like “Is the animal in this picture a cat?” “What is the age of the oldest dinosaur fossil to have been discovered?’ “How long does Venus take to orbit the sun?” “Which US President is known for having used the phrase under oath “that depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ ‘is’” “What well-known IT pioneer and operating system developer used a similar phrase in testimony in a case relating to monopolies?” and so on. Such questions have uncontroversial answers (for most people; of course there might be some who dispute the age of dinosaur fossils, but they are a minority that all AIs will by default ignore on the basis of paleontological science) and are answerable through pattern recognition, which is the area where AIs are reliable.

Even then, quoting it would still in most cases constitute an appeal to unqualified authority, due to the fact that AIs will occasionally hallucinate, for a very wide variety of reasons.

What a defense counsel claims is in no way ever to be considered as evidence.

Although it shouldn't matter, the victim was about as unsavory as the stabber (previously convicted of child rape, but the jury would not have heard about this during the trial). According to the article, the victim continued to use the slur while telling the police his side of the story. Juries do judge the victim.

Juries can only judge the credibility of a victim IF they testify. Otherwise, savory vs. unsavory is not to be considered.

I am aware that in the population of modern day Israel has many are Khazars . The number of true descendents of the ancient nation is unknown to me. Have you considered that in the second resurrection GOD will raise up the nation to flesh again and in that day keep HIS promise to Abraham regarding carnal Israel ? Paul did say that GOD has not written off these people but at some future time they can be grafted back into the olive tree if the do not remain in unbelief. Ezekiel 36 describes this time of restoration. The physical resurrection of carnal Israel may be described in Ezekiel 37 Since it is said that David will be king over them this must be at a future time after David’s resurrection. Romans 11:11-15 speaks of this life from the dead in the second resurrection. When discussing prophecy we should know that prophecy is like being in a dark room with very little light but as the light level increases more can be known. Doctrine is prophecy that has been fulfilled, like the prophecy of the first advent is now doctrine. Until more light shines or as more things are fulfilled the pieces will come together. This is one reason why Jesus told us to watch and we watch for the signs he gave us to come to pass. We also hear the words of the prophets and Apostles about these things. We must be careful to not go beyond what has been written.

The judgment of the sheep and goats, (white throne judgment) will begin shortly after the second resurrection. This second resurrection will be at the end of time when Jesus descends to earth with his angels and saints. These saints receive their resurrected bodies before they accompany Jesus to earth. The people still on earth will receive their resurrected bodies as they rise to meet Jesus in the air. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, 1 Corinthians 15:51-54

The unbelieving Jews have already had 2000 years to become Christians. Many of the remnant Jews have become Christians during this time period. More will come into the Church before Jesus' second coming.

David's earthly kingship ended when he died. Jesus Christ is now king and he will be king forever in heaven and on earth. Revelation 1:4-5
