7 reasons for the trans conflict with Christianity

Transgender people are under-represented in mass shooting statistics quite a bit, so Christian-posts sensationalist and polemical framing is unwarranted.

The shooter at Annunciation did not identify as transgender. They had apparently detransitioned and the motives were unclear. Churches are emotionally charged places, and some people with grievances may lash out at emotionally charged institutions for reasons that are difficult to categorize.

Speaker Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

As I said, they are free to protest whatever they wish and believe whatever they wish. The fact that rhey can is evidence that its a false narrative they are fussing about.

There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

But these are the vase reports that show that they are not as precise as modern objects. The report on the OG vase shows a concentricity of 0.312 mm (page 4/8), that is > 1/100th of an inch. Granted I'm not an expert, but I can see those numbers and it is at least an apparent contradiction to the claims of modern day precision.
Note the report is in Polyworks which is an ISO 1101 compliant professional metrology software.
Yet the resident crank is under the impression Artifacts Foundation and Maximus.energy have developed new software since ISO 1101 compliant software is insufficient for the examination of vases!

BUSTED - 12 False theories refuted:

This (amillenniumism) was known to be false in the first century, and ever since then,
yet "they prefer darkness over light" is truth as also seen in the thread of same title, referenced below (on this page under "Similar threads) and multitudes follow that false gospel even or more-so today in our lifetimes than ever before. As long as someone/anyone follows some other voice(s) instead of Jesus Himself, will they ever choose to follow Jesus ?
Yet there are plenty of genuine Christians who are amillennialists. I came across this site, Pastor Gabe • Amillennialism which included these words:

"More recent amillennial theologians include A.W. Pink, J.I. Packer, Kim Riddlebarger, Owen Strachan, Jeffery Johnson, and Voddie Baucham."

The Lost House of Israel

Nothing abut his relatives, or supposed ships, let alone travelling to Britain and settling in Glastonbury.
Of course there isn't. This possibility is not a Salvation issue.
But it does have support in the historical record, oral and written, as this article I researched:-

Britain and the Middle East
In recent history, we learn of the Balfour Declaration that prepared the way for the establishment of the State of Israel and then Britain administered the mandated territory of Palestine until independence was declared in May 1948.

But what is not generally known is the British connections to that area in the BCE era and early CE. It was not uncommon for people from the Mediterranean area to visit Britain. Some Romans sent their children there for their education. There was an extensive mining industry for iron, copper, lead, tin, and silver, centred in Cornwall. Also fruit, grains and livestock were exported to Rome and elsewhere. This trading intercourse naturally resulted in family connections and documents held in the College of Arms and the British Museum confirm the relationship between the British Royal family and Jesus of Nazareth.

Ann, the mother of the Virgin Mary was British, she came from Cornwall, she married three times: by her first husband, Joachim, she had Mary, then with Cleopas she had James, Simon, Jude, and Joseph Barsaba. Her third husband, Salome; resulted in John and James the Apostles. Ann’s sister, Bianca married a Jacob, their son was Joseph: who married Mary, therefore they were cousins. Their daughter; Elizabeth was the mother of John the Baptist.

To go back to the earlier history of Israel in Britain, their settlement occurred in many stages, starting soon after the Exodus from Egypt with some from the tribe of Dan going first to Ireland. After the Assyrian’s took the Northern tribes away, they made their way across Europe to the British Isles, in groups such as the Gauls, Celts, refugees from Tyre, Vikings, Angles, Saxons, Franks, etc. Their waymarks, dolmens are seen across Europe. Jeremiah 31:21

After the Babylonian conquest of Judah, Jeremiah went to Egypt, then to Ireland with his scribe, Baruch and the two daughters of King Zedekiah. Princess Tea Tephi a descendant of Perez, Ezekiel 17:22, married Herremon: of the Zerah line, the king of Hibernia. [Hebrews land] This union brought about the rejoining of the Perez and Zerah lines of the Royal House of Judah. Ann traces her ancestry back to them.

It seems quite probable that Jesus spent His earlier life in Britain, historical tradition actually has this view. His legal father may have died when Jesus was about 12, soon after the incident in the temple. Joseph of Aramathea was related to the holy family, he may have been Mary’s uncle and he was their kinsman protector. Because he had mining interests in Britain, with his base at Glastonbury, it is logical that they all moved there for safety. It becomes obvious that the holy family returned to Judea just before Jesus commenced His ministry, because He wasn’t known locally, as we see by the way He called His disciples and He had to pay the visitors tax. Matthew 17:24-27

The Apostles were told to be witnesses to the Gospel…to the uttermost parts of the world and to take it to the ‘lost sheep of Israel’. The British Isles was the farthest they could go to the North and West and that was where some of the Ten tribes had settled. Ephraim and Manasseh in Britain; [British= Hebrew: Covenant people] and Asher in Scotland. [Scotia, the other daughter of Zedikiah] There are many historical records that confirm Britain as being the first country to receive the Gospel. Christianity was introduced into Britain by Joseph of Aramathea circa 36-39AD, followed by Aristobulus; the first Bishop to the Britons, then by St Paul. In Romans Paul sends greetings to his friends and relations. Romans 16:7 & 21 mentions several kinsmen of Paul, we don’t know how they were related, but verse 13 says Rufus has the same mother as Paul – that is they were brothers or half-brothers. This Rufus Pudens was married to Princess Claudia, [who changed her name from Gladys] the daughter of Caractacus the British King. So Paul had highly placed contacts and was well received there.

This has had the result of the Christianisation of much of the Western world and the missionary efforts everywhere. All according to God’s Plan, and now we await the unfolding of the end time events, with all the great blessings He promises to His Christian peoples.

"Under Title X of the US Code, the President has plenary authority..."

Hey, if you can't back up what you claim, not anyone else's fault but yours. You even provided the link, but couldn't point out what's actually relevant there. It's hard to take an argument seriously when you avoid making any specific points to back yourself up.
I don't acquiesce to rude demands. Treat me with anything other than respect and "we" gets nothing.

Bossiness gets "we" nothing.

Rudeness gets "we" nothing

Manipulation tactics gets "we" nothing.

Respect usually leads to something.

Israel-Hamas Thread II

Those who dream of martyrdom seem to fear for their lives. The US is to act as guarantor to convince Hamas of Israel's tactical retreat without the organization having to fear that Israel could immediately launch another military strike after the hostages are released. Hamas is already regaining control of areas from which Israel has withdrawn. It will regroup and rearm from the very first minute of the ceasefire. Israel reserves the right to respond immediately to any threat. Hamas, and it must be said cynically, can be relied upon. And because this is the case, there is no alternative: the terrorist organisation must be crushed once and for all.
This most certainly is a serious concern. And the true issue is, if Hamas does take control or re-arm and break rhe peace then Trump will back off completely and grant Israel free reign to do whatever they need to do. Snubbing Trump like that will make him a personal enemy. Hamas certainly can't be trusted at all. The utter destruction of Gaza will be in order should they re-arm and launch any attacks. Civilians will receive no cover anymore if Hamas pulls an attack off.

They Believed in Jesus Christ

Exactly. That is the key takeaway for me of what Jesus communicated to the woman at the well.
See my response to Eleos1954. The church is not a physical location we go to, but it is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. And worship of God is something we should be doing all the time, and it should not be dependent on a physical location or day of the week.

How do we set aside the grace of God?

Character traits in general are simple to understand but there are lots of theological constructs around righteousness that make it difficult to understand, so let’s put the discussion about righteousness on pause for a moment. Please define what it means for someone to have a character in general and the way for someone to attain a character trait in general, then we can correctly understand what the Bible says specifically about righteousness in that light.
I first heard of character traits from you, so why should I define them. Righteousness is to be in right standing with God. that means God does not hold anything against you. You are sinless in His eyes.

John 16:8 "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. NASU

The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. People are sinners because they do not believe in Jesus.

Romans 3:25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. NKJV

In the past, prior to Jesus' death on the cross. God did not punish anyone for their sins. He punished them for not believing that He would send a savior.

John 3:18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. NASU

Above is what God judged people for when they died after Jesus came. Those who believe in Jesus will go to Heaven. Those who do not believe in Jesus will go to hell.

Never heard of it, and he didn’t make any claims of any titles. Neither did Hitler.

As soon as he shows up with the receipts to prove it, sure.

A perspective on Baptism and the plan of salvation that I have not heard before

Forgive me, but according to my understanding of Roman Catholic Christology and the EO-RC Joint Theological Declarations, I believe it would be an error to assert your church believes that the Blessed Virgin Mary is of a different nature, substance or essence from other humans, since Ephesus and Chalcedon declare our Lord is in a hypostatic union of two natures, His uncreated divine nature and the human nature He assumed in the incarnation, which are united hypostatically without change, confusion, separation or division. If the Theotokos actually has a different nature, which every Roman Catholic theologian I’ve met denies was the intention of the Immaculate Conception, then our Lord would not share our human nature.

Indeed a primary reason why the Orthodox object to the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is because of concerns it would lead people to deny the full humanity of Christ our True God and His consubstantiality with us, that is to say that God became one of us, a man, in order to redeem our fallen nature, restoring and glorifying it through His Passion and Resurrection.

Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man without change, confusion, separation or division. Indeed St. Athanasius, who your church very strongly venerates, said God became man so that man could become god, becoming by grace what Christ is by nature.

I can indeed quote numerous Catholic liturgical texts that prove Christ is of the same essence as the rest of humanity.

Rather, the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, if understood correctly, means that Theotokos was conceived without original sin, but with our human nature, but in objecting to the saying that she had the same nature as the rest of us, and by implication objecting, by accident, to the full humanity of her son, you illustrated the main concern the Orthodox have about the idea of the Immaculate Conception.

+

I would also note that most concerns you might have about the Orthodox rejection of the doctrine are likely predicated on the basis of St. Augustine’s model of original sin, but we use the model of St. John Cassian’s Ancestral Sin, in which original sin is less about inherited forensic guilt and more of a hereditary disease that predisposes us to the sinful passions and causes us to be mortal. This model does an equally good job at precluding Pelagianism since no one afflicted with this disease could save themselves. However one can, through faith in Christ, who defeated death on on the Cross and remade humanity in his image, becoming the firstfruits of the resurrection, we can be saved, as the Blessed Virgin Mary was, and so close to God was she, closer physically than any other human by virtue of carrying Him in her immaculate and voluntarily sinless womb, that in response to her faith, which she affirmed in agreeing to carry Christ our God at the Annunciation, that when she reposed, she was taken up into Heaven bodily, which the Orthodox church has always celebrated, since the first century, on the Feast of the Dormition, celebrated by the Armenians at the end of July and by everyone else on August 15th, called the Assumption by the Oriental Orthodox, but which your church apparently did not formally dogmatize until Pope Pius XII declared it ex cathedra in the 1950s, which has the unfortunate effect of causing some anti-Orthodox polemicists to falsely accuse us of having followed the Roman church in adopting a recent doctrinal innovation (ignoring the fact that the Eastern Catholic churches had celebrated the feast since antiquity, and the Roman church historically was liturgically minimalist, particularly in August, probably due to the notorious heat in Rome in that month, and thus the Transfiguration was also never a prominent part of the Roman calendar).

At any rate the assumption of the Theotokos at the time of he repose is one of many indicators of her obedience, this being an honor previously granted only to a few, notably St. Moses and St. Elias, who as prophesied were present at the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor. Orthodox hymns describe her as Immaculate. But we do not say, nor do we need to say, that there was anything supernatural about her conception, because our hamartiology, while perfectly refuting Pelagius, does not require this. It should also be noted that historically the hamartiology of St. John Cassian was preferred in the West as well, until St. Augustine overtook him and all other Church Fathers during the early Scholastic period.
Yes I said this is a theological debate. Mary is human, not something different. We say she is immaculately conceived, you do not, although you still agree she is sinless, correct?

We take the scripture which says in Adam, all died, to mean original sin, as it is sin that brings forth death. Mary was spared this condition, and she always chose the good.
We can think of Moses and Elijah as great men of God, but their condition was different. They came from the stain of original sin and chose God when they were called.
Mary was called to God’s purpose at conception, and John the Baptist was called while he was still in the womb. We believe his condition was being born without original sin because he was cleansed in the womb by Our Lord at the sound of Mary’s voice. Our Lord said among those born of women, there is none greater then John the Baptist. We say it is because he was cleansed from original sin.
We also recognize that we are called to humility. There are those that deserve greater honor. Heaven is a kingdom and there is no demand for egalitarianism. We voluntarily submit to serve according to God’s purpose. We have no problem admitting that Mary and John are creatures, yet are deserving of greater honor than ourselves

Who was the president??

During the time Trump wasn't president, it was Trump's MAGA lackies this, and Trump's MAGA lackies that. In 2022 Biden made a whole speech against Trump's MAGA Republicans.

That's because people in government can be loyal to Trump or Biden, even when Trump or Biden aren't the current president.

Don Trump Tilts at Windmills: Rescinds All Offshore Wind Energy Areas in the US; current leases up for review

Cost of wind energy has fallen in real terms by better than 50% in the past 20 years.

According to IRENA's 2025 analysis, onshore wind power has fallen from $0.12 per kilowatt hour in 2005 to $0.03 per kilowatt hour in 2025, while offshore wind has fallen from $0.16 to $0.08.

According to Lazard's 2025 analysis, US nuclear power costs about $242 per megawatt hour, after all costs are levellised. Meanwhile, offshore wind averages $135 per hour, and onshore wind averages $78.

Lazard's same analysis found that onshore wind costs have fallen 55% since 2009, while nuclear energy generation costs have risen 47%.
