The Fall of the West (It's Happening Now)

Yes and no. I think natural disasters in the true sense being just how nature works is not due to any direct cause by man. Though one could argue that any natural disater is the result of the fall overall.

But there aremany disasters that may have been natural but were the result of mankinds actions or lack of. Such as man made climate change. Or just playing around with nature that we create some virus or disease that wipes out crops. Or caused earth quakes because we destablised the land.

But then I also think that just like mankind is fallen and perhaps there is some entropy to our degrading in the genome. So it is with all creation. The fall leads to a gradual deterioration of everything that it is winding down or falling apart. That it is weakened and more supceptible to disasters or a particular kind.

I know they have done research with Consciousness. They have people wired up to machines to read the brain patterns and each time there is a big disasters the graphs spike beforehand. As though like some animals we percieve a disaster coming in some part of the conscious or subconscious brain.

I believe there is a connection and I think if humans are evil and live this out then this also affects the earth and reality itself. So when evil gets to a certain level it also influences the earths stability and brings consequences as a result.

When the ancients believed that this or that disaster came as a result of defying God then this was really the case. It was not that a disaster just coinciently happened as a result. It was the result of evil manifested in the earth and spewed out upon the evil doers. Almost like evil attracts disaster.

If those who were wired up percieved disaster they would have done everything to get out of the way.

In the case of a tsunami animals flee to higher ground, an elephant chained to a tree with fire on its way will pull up the tree.

Not so with man, that is why there were prophets sent to warn, Nineveh is an exampel.

The Word of God is not a bunch of stories, it is living and does not change.

HavaYah is an attribute of the Almighty that transcends the laws of nature.

I have to disagree here. There is currently nothing that indicates that any of the Trump policies pushed that man to kill. It's an option among many, but certainly not an established fact.
Even an infant could have told Trump that those soldiers would have a target on their backs being deployed in that way.

Putting soldiers on a street makes them a target. Civilians invariably see them as an occupying force. Even when it’s their own troops.

It's the Tartaria stuff that p's me off so much. Like... it's not hidden history! It's people who have never actually studied history being so dumb that they want to drag other people down to their level with it.
If you set the bar low there will always be some capable of crawling beneath it: a conspiracy of limbo dancers.

Fatherly Wisdom with Zac

The Necessities of Revival… Coming to God thirsty

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) – John 7 (also the text to Zac's sermon below)

Key word… Thirsty

First Generation – Thirsty for God. There have been so many communities having terrible times in the Southeast. Like men many weeks in the desert they were very thirsty, and a cup of water would have been worth the universe to them. The people of the first generation came to God this way and turned out incredible people. Being thankful and showing much joy over the least little things. And also showing much goodness to the children they would bring about as family.

Second Generation
– Thirsty for the world. This generation will spend time educating themselves and bringing in families with the motive for them to have a better life than they did.

Third Generation
– The spoiled bunch… Hard to figure out what brings them lasting satisfaction.

We are living in post third generation times... I have not been active in church for the wonder of it all. How would I teach people these days? What are they thirsty for? Almost like a chapter out of the book of Judges in which a bad generation arose after a good one.

At least natural disasters are honest. Nature doesn't discriminate among specific targets, unlike man.

I have read it. And yes, it comes from an incredibly left leaning source that fabricated nonsense. The only sources that liberals trust. If it was an actual source that was honest, liberals would immediately dismiss it as propaganda. Remind me how many young black kids have been murdered since Trump sent the national guard. Not that it matters to anyone but Trump and MAGA conservatives.
Oh?
All the sudden the source you brandished is untrustworthy and fabricates its data? And you (you alone) have access to that data?
And you don't want to share it, you prefer to spread misinformation? Knowingly, willfully and on purpose?
The bible says something about spreading false information. It has even be carved in stone with a flaming finger.

There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

What is the alternative?
You can't work that out. Obviously you investigate first whether your claim stands up and is correct rather than making unfounded assumptions.

Its ironic because the objection is that these researchers are not using good science. Yet the very claims are not based on good science. Thus disqualifying themselves by their own logic.
If they want to convincing that is what they have to do, either by making their method explicit so that other experts can evaluate them or by providing credentials.
Your throwing back on the person who is being attacked without justification in the first place. The accusation of amateur was in response to the evidence the accusor could have checked for themselves. Remember the accusation is they are an amateur and don't know what they are talking about.

So if your going to make the claim they don't then you better have good evidence and support for that. This includes doing your investigation if this is the case. Afterall they are the one who introduced the claim.
Needlessly so.
No thjey have not. Show me where Karolys explanation for why the new software was developed. No reference was made to this section of the video.
No they didn't. Max used a different process and different definitions.
They both used a measure for circularity and concentricity that used slices of the vase compared to each other and a central axis.
So what was the overlap of tested vases between the different measures.
In the fact that where ever the guage metrology shows a certain precision measure for say circularity the scans did the same. They lined up. If the nech showed 1/1000 or 3/1000 of an inch from the gusgae metrology so did the scanning. It did not show a completely different measure.
No they didn't.
Therefore any lathing is out of place for that time. To say that these high precision vases which are better than those that came 1,000 years later with the Bore stick on the walls is silly.

So at the very least we would logically conclude that if the later Egyptians got pretty good precision with Bore Stick tech. Then these predynastic vases must have also involved some sort of lathing or device that produced even better precision. Yet there was not even a potters wheel or Bore stick tech.
This just your assertion.
No its not. We have preliminary evidence of stone softening and casting or messing around with the texture and material of stones. We have evidence of alternative methods besides the orthodox dolerite pounders on granite in the scoop marks that look like stone was softened.

We have ample clear cut signatures of machining all over the stones. Why would we not be open to the possibility of advanced knowledge in working with the hardest stones. Afterall they had 10's of 1,000's of years of experience. Thats all they had to work with but stone up until the very later periods.
If they are not involved in the field professionally they are amateurs.
They were involved in the field professionally. They were at the professor level in the field of software development and specially related to ancient culture. In the case of Smith he was actually making very similar objects to the vases in the metal parts he made. He knew everything there is to know about tooling and machining when it comes to creating objects.

Yet because this was not investigated and it was assumed they were amateurs because the underlying assumption was already made that anyone suggesting such possibilities must be doing psuedoscience and therefore amateurs.
I've read his output, he is no professional coder.
Its so easy to make claims without actually providing the evidence. What part of Photogrammetry, Image Scanning, 3D reconstructions and Digitalisation of cultural images is not related to software development that can capture the vases.

I would have though digitalisation and 3D reconstructions of cultural artifacts is exactly related.

This is what I am talking about unsupported claims that double down and still with no actual evidence. Remembering these experts are said to be amateurs. To say they have no idea is rediculous and bias when at the very least they cover fields related.

I think once theses good people are made out to be amateurs they will never live that down. Because acknowledging they know what they are talking about means admitting defeat and I don't think skeptics will do that.
I don't think it is important.
Then this I think is part of the dismissal because KIngs case is a clear slam dunk case of bias. One you can't fob off with claims that he is not a expert in the fioeld. Yet was obviously made out to be one without proper investigation. Thus exposing the bias. Thus lending weight to the bias against others like Marcis.
They are exaggerating, it is what is in the article that is important.
See this is surely a subjective opinion. The scientists say it like they are not exaggerating. So who do I believe. You on a social media site or the direct words out of the scientists who did the tests.
No one has connected the radiowaves(200-600 m wavelength) to any way to extract the energy.
By the looks of it no one has tried yet. You have to get access to bring in machinery and all that. The last time this was allowed was to find any new cavities with Muon detectors. Or the acoustic tests mentioned.

But theorectically its a good possibilitiy. There are also some independent researchers like the vases who are gathering evidence. I have not mentioned these because they have no scientific papers yet.
So link the article that describes how they measured the voltages caused by the piezoelectric effects in the chambers.
It seems the only tests so far are the acoustic tests actually done inside the pyramid. But the tests showing that pink granite under stress of vibrations of some sort can produce piezoelectric effect is beyond doubt.

The combination of modelling that shows energy waves concentrated into the chambers already. Along with the potential effects of granite that is in those chambers supports the hypothesis so far. Certyainly nothing to be dismissed as Woo or conspiracy.
Not really it might focus radiowaves of a certain length, but the source in the simulation was external to the pyramid.
Yes but it was a certain energy wave and not any that is external to the pyramid. Did was not that the point. If it just captured the stuff that is everywhere then so what. Its that it captured a particular radio wave in a partuclar part of the pyramid as opposed to anywhere else.

Now what happens at that stage maybe something else that is added to enhance or utilised that energy into something else. But it seems the pyramid shape and its specific internal structure is able to capture certain radio waves. In a cavity that also has the potential for other energy manipulation in the material or with added acoustics or pressure or thermal treatment.
There is no source proposed and no mechanism for turning the radiowaves into a useable energy source.
Actually there is but its all spectulation. This is the part we have to test in various ways. All the modelling and hypothesis is done. Its now a case of testing this on site. Its exaciting I think.

Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

I hope you're right. That does seem more just to me.
I believe much of salvation by grace and the idea of works ( Ephesians 2:8-10) is a simple hope for the salvation of others. The Lord’s Prayer ( Matthew 6:9-13) is as much for ourselves as well as others. Jesus Christ tells us to pray for evangelists and evangelism ( Matthew 9:36-38). Paul tells us the purpose of this in 1 Timothy 2:1-6.

I am not speaking as some kind of pseudo sublime guy; I often feel frustrated in daily life. Hell is unfortunately real but not inevitable to anyone. This is why I so strongly believe in the golden rule ( Matthew 7:1-12) & that anyone is judged by the light given them ( Romans 2:1-16). This is where the Lord’s commandments ( Matthew 22:36-40, Romans 13:8-10, etc.) click in for me for prayer, whatever charity I can practice ( Matthew 6:1-4). I drive a 12 year old car & do general warehouse labor.

There is a wrong way to think of ourselves in failing to truly live by faith & the Lord shows us this in Luke 18:9-14. I have often found what Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 helpful in summing up living by faith. This is where reading Romans 8:1-39 also starts to click in for me if I remember having a hope for others is included in my thoughts.

Clearly you are wrong.

This is funny.
The article dates from (screenshot):
1764317020294.png


Before Trump was even president. It dates from the Biden era.
other quotes from the article:
" WASHINGTON - Total violent crime for 2024 in the District of Columbia is down 35% from 2023 and is the lowest it has been in over 30 years"
Yes, under the Biden administration crime went down. Sans deployement of the National Guard.

"In addition to the overall violent crime reduction, homicides are down 32%; robberies are down 39%; armed carjackings are down 53%; assaults with a dangerous weapon are down 27% when compared with 2023 levels, with the District reporting the fewest assaults with dangerous weapons and burglaries in over 30 years."
Tell me how necessary it was to dispatch the NG.

There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

Thereit is, the extreme and absolute claim that there is no evidence. You throw a latex mold showing evidence of striations you claim were caused by random hand grinding. Somehow achiveed a super flat and sharp edged cut.

Yet even skeptics on your side disagree with you and claim it was a big copper saw using the same striations as the evidence. So already your own side is undermining your absolute claim.

Let alone the fact I showed you this is clearly the result of a fixed cut of some sort with the sharp arc cut where it stops against the uncut stone. Showing the striations follow that same uniform arc.

Clear and obvious observation science right before our naked eyes. Who said there was zero evidence.
Try to get it through your thick skull the evidence leads to the conclusion, you don't start off with a conclusion and try to force fit the evidence.
What makes your argument so profoundly stupid you don't even have any evidence to force fit into a conclusion.
You are totally deluded into thinking you have presented evidence where the striations for sharp cuts follow the arc of the cut; to do so requires a common archaeological technique where microphotographs are taken inside the cut using raking light where the light source is at a very low angle to accentuate details.

It has been explained, but since you are not the sharpest tool in the shed (pardon the pun) it didn't register, the Egyptians used a technique known as relief cutting where they bow drilled small overlapping holes which were then chiseled out.
The Egyptians were able to do arc cuts which stopped at the uncut stone.

This is your evidence, experimental archaeologists relying on the discovery of bow drill components, copper chisels and copper tubular fragments 6-8mm in diameter found at Saqqara, Giza, Abydos and Deir el-Medina have been able to reproduce the cuts you claim are impossible requiring technologies where there is zero evidence.

There maybe new people on here who haven't seen it, so no I do not have dementia.
But neither have you answered the questions we've asked or responded to the "debunks". Which suggests, to me, that you can't.

I must admit, the first couple of times you posted it I ignored it. But then I started looking up some of the references.
The thing's a joke and the person who produced it should be embarrassed that it just shows their inability to read Scripture and argue logically.

I'm not saying one way or the other, but in my mother's case, she was unable to understand that she had dementia.
It's not just the memory that goes, but the inability to understand, reason and so on.
