To be clear.Is it safe to say then, that the climate change emergency, was science fiction? And that the scientists used biased models in their data sets?
...Or was this a political lever the whole time?
WHO LIED TO US..???? And WHY..??
Your statement is misleading.People will pay the same, or less, than they are paying for it now, in the form of copays, taxes and foregone wages. Duh!
I think the now dominant Sanders/AOC/Mamdani/OccupyWashington wing of the Democratic Party will either destroy that party or turn it into a successful revolutionary party. They WILL turn it into a revolutionary party, but whether it is a powerless fringe party or an election winning party is the open question.Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away, but retailers have already rolled out their Christmas campaigns — hoping to capture more shoppers and a few more dollars. So, I feel justified in drawing from a Christmas classic as we reflect on this week’s elections and what they might reveal about the future.
Pundits are already declaring the handwriting is on the wall for Republicans heading into next year’s midterms, as Democrats and socialists celebrated victories in several off-year races. Many on the Right are asking, “What went wrong?” But perhaps a more important question is, “What does it mean?”
In A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge meets the final spirit — the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come — and is terrified by the vision of his own lonely death. Realizing the horror of what he’s seeing, he pleads with the Spirit for hope as he asks the question that pierces through time:
“Are these the shadows of things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be only?”

Are the 2025 elections a shadows of things to come?

So Republicans won't extend the credit and don't want Americans to save that money and spend it on food and such?Enhanced ACA premium tax credits were introduced during COVID in 2021, and those credits are set to expire on December 31, 2025. Democrats say they won't sign anything that doesn't include an extension of the credits and Republicans say they won't entertain extending the credits until the government shutdown is over. So, here we sit, waiting to see which side blinks first as they both attempt to leverage people's suffering for their own political gain.
How is this "indigenous" knowledge acquired? By observation and experience? That's the way "scientific" knowledge is acquired as well. What's the difference?
Non-responsive to what Scripture says sin is that the holy Spirit convicts us of if we hear His voice Heb3:7-13So you doubt the Spirit in favor of the law? Good luck with that.

The body is asleep but the soul is not.Hi
When we die we go to sleep and remain asleep until the resurrection of the dead. When we sleep we are conscious of nothing until Christ wakes us up.

Is this someone in your formation classes? I would say it depends on the way they are referred to. It’s hard to make a call on something like that without being there.Let's just say this one person is a very animated, gregarious person. They tend to lead the table by talking almost constantly. They seem civil if not cordial, but it also seems that everything that comes out of their mouth is talking about someone. They don't necessarily talk bad about someone (though I don't know them enough to say this), but they're ALWAYS mentioning someone's name in practically every other sentence. It makes me wonder, is this too similar to gossip, or is this more excusable?
ps this is not the same woman who I sensed was condescending on me being a convert.
With the guns christians gave them.Islamism. Look at Iran. The Muslims were best buds and allies with the Communists, then when they gained power, the Muslims killed the Communists.
Sounds like the same reasons certain Christians look askance at Catholics.That's really too much to go into, but many Protestants after the Reformation gradually stripped a lot of the ancient ways. They don't like our "bells and whistles"- the clergy wearing fancy robes, the incense, the candles, etc. Plus some interpretations of certain scriptures, but it's a lot to talk about.
In this case youre just guessing, unless you have some actual insight into his motives. But I think you would have said so.
North Africa and Spain, respectively, I know for certain. It may affect Nepal and New Zealand.What countries are we talking about here? Developing countries?
Payoneer is owned by the Russians, so it’s not a feasible system for foreigners to deal with United States’ websites and/or merchants. The United States is at the center of the internet economy.Oh, there are other options
Yes, you are right. They shouldn't but they do.Even at the cost of misrepresenting the word of God? I mean what’s more important here, teaching sound theology or defending a theology that contradicts scripture?
I had a simmilar experience with legalism. It was a tough slog to overcome it, and the process shook me to the core, but God was faithful and led me through it. Looking back, I wouldn't trade it for anything.I had to make that choice a long time ago and I ended up reevaluating my entire theology.
When I feel moral outrage, I feel a need to try to counteract it, additionally not acting on it feels bad itself. The morals of the perpetrator don't concern me.But you still expect them to comply. Otherwise you would live and let live.
Where do YOU feel feelings? I can't pinpoint a specific location, they come to me as parts of me.I'm asking where the wrongness rests, in you doesn't answer that question because that's what is supposed to be explained.
The specific feeling, as I have said multiple times. Some feelings gives me an impetus to act (among them moral feelings), and others don't.That doesn't explain the difference, just that there is one. What is it that is different? Why do you feel the need to act and intervene in the one case, and in the other you're fine with the diversity?
It would of course manifest as anyone calling Mamdani a communist, or a socialist for that matter, or even hinting at it. Anything that suggested he wasn’t as American as apple pie in his political stance. It would be almost as bad as deadnaming the person.The what, prey tell, is "anti-communist bigotry" and how would it manifest?
Thanks for the clarification. It turns out that the suspect, Jean Guillot, 35, a local fisherman who grew up in the Dordogne, has addiction and mental issues, and despite yelling "Allahu Akbar," neither his religion nor terrorism appears to have been a motive.No, in France.
The suspect in this case was Anthony Williams, a British national born in the UK. Both terrorism and religion have been ruled out as a motive.Huntingdon is very close to me and I used to travel there for work, but no, we don't know the motive yet.
This appears to have been some sort of domestic dispute between the man and his landlord.However last week there was an Afghan asylum seeker that murdered someone walking there dog, stabbed a 14-year-old and injured someone else, which is one of many recent instances of people from those backgrounds proving they shouldn't be allowed here.
No, that's not right. It doesn't say that nobody who walks in the Spirit ever indulges the lusts of the flesh.Yes, you are missing something, the description is for people who are not doing the truth, so if anyone is of the truth they do it, not talk about them...
I do not promote myself as Christ Jesus but rather points to Him as the giver and sustainer of life. From another thread:James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Your name seems to suggest you like to show the name of CHRIST.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
It is obvious that these remarks do not come from walking in the Spirit since they are the results of indulging of the flesh.Do you mean in your brain, that the doctrine of godliness cannot be allowed.
