Why is that problematic?Mamdani appears smiling, arm-in-arm with unindicted ‘93 WTC bombing co-conspirator and terrorist apologist
The Democratic frontrunner to become the city’s next mayor was seen laughing and grinning while standing arm-in-arm with Siraj Wahhaj at the imam’s Bedford-Stuyvesant mosque in a photo the socialist posted to X a day after the first mayoral debate.
It's a matter of who you choose to serve, God or mammon. Nearness to God equates to freedom from sin, If we sin, then we've exercised our freedom to remain apart from Him, as John's letters so eloquently emphasize.Then your will is not free to choose to be sinless.
what about the fact that the N in SNAP says otherwise? It was not meant to help people buy junk food.Anything that’s not edible or is a drug like alcohol should be excluded. The rest is up to the individual what they wish to use their SNAP money for. If they want to feed their kids nothing but cookies and soda, that’s on them. Not my business to tell someone else how to buy for their household.
Nothing about flat earth has any substantial value.
The disciples where picking heads of grain and the pharaisees were splitting hairs. Yet Christ is silent on this. He instead says priests can desecrate the Sabbath and guys like David who were led by their heart can eat consecrated bread. Then he tells them he is Lord of the Sabbath but no comment on the grain. He is invoking authority and type of led-by-the-heart action but he is not telling them off for staining gnats (which he certainly wasn't afraid of doing)I have read your post more carefully, and I understand your points. You wrote “Christ is declaring he has authority over the Sabbath. Authority means just that, he can say what goes and what doesn't. He is just told off for picking grain and rather than defending the actions as work or not work, he defends his authority, ranking himself and followers as priest that are allowed to violate the Sabbath to do their duties then declaring he the one who has the authority over the Sabbath.” The focus on the authority of Christ is very important, but Christ and His Apostles did not violate the Sabbath. As pointed out in earlier posts, what they did was permissible and the Pharisees were just looking for trouble. Anyhow, the purpose of my post was to give an opening for those who keep The Lord’s Day a chance to state their case without attacking people like me who keep the Sabbath. You did an excellent job. It is important, because there is a difference between “breaking” one of the commandments as a rebellion against God and doing so to magnify the work of Christ. I think keeping the Sabbath is a great blessing, and you have made a clear case why one should not judge those who don’t. As we say here, go with God.
Is that the one that had all the cuts to Obamacare?This time. When someone shows me that they're willing to toss their values aside in one instance, it makes it had for me to believe they wouldn't do it again in different circumstances.
That's one way to look at it. Another is to realize that if Democrats were to vote for a clean CR, the government would be operating on the same budget that was approved under Biden.
Do you have any evidence that this "clear distinction" is anything more than a rendering of καί?
I haven't seen the evidence that my source contradicts me.I'd think you'd be at least a little surprised that your own source contradicts you.
normal TrumpTrump just bragged about Walmart’s cheaper Thanksgiving dinner, but here’s what he conveniently left out
“Walmart just announced that Prices for a Thanksgiving Dinner is now down 25% since under Sleepy/Crooked Joe Biden, in 2024,” Trump wrote Wednesday. “AFFORDABILITY is a Republican Stronghold. Hopefully, Republicans will use this as irrefutable fact!”
A community note on X pointed out that this year’s meal featured fewer brand-name items and six fewer items overall. The Turkey cost nine cents more [per pound] compared to last year, and 2024 items like a [2 pound Marie Callender's] premade pie, cranberry sauce and onions were dropped entirely.

And this refutes which premise, exactly? I laid out a structured argument from John 6:44 with explicit premises and a necessary conclusion. If you believe the argument is unsound, you must identify the specific premise that is false or show how the conclusion does not follow. Simply citing verse 45 as though it overrides verse 44 is not a rebuttal. It's an assertion of contradiction without demonstration. Right now, the argument stands as presented, and your non-response is a concession that it is sound.But those who had heard The Father and learned from Him will come to Him, verse 45.
No, what you offered was not an "explanation"; it was an assertion. One that rests on a dispensational presupposition, not an exegetical demonstration of its truth. As I have said to you previously, it is not my burden to disprove your assertions. It is yours to substantiate them. An explanation accounts for the text; an assertion merely states an opinion.I explained all this in the post you ignored when you claimed that I never addressed John 6:44.
Fortunately we have a court system that makes decisions rather than Notus or Politico.It's a matter of law not activism as to whether she was legally appointed. It appears that her and Halligan's appointments did not follow legal rules and regulations.

Alina Habba Has Signed Dozens of Indictments. Her Authority to Do So Is Dubious.
“There’s a risk. But that office apparently thinks it’s worth the risk,” one source told NOTUS.www.notus.org
NOTUS reviewed more than 140 criminal cases filed in recent months which show how Habba has largely brushed aside explicit court warnings about her dubious authority. An analysis of those cases show that more than 39 indictments could be contested, because she signed them after July 1 — the point at which a judge deemed she acted “without lawful authority.” Twenty-eight of those came after the judge’s ruling in August.It’s the latest sign that the Department of Justice has prioritized keeping those closest to President Donald Trump in positions of power, regardless of how that could affect actual operations. Judges have disqualified Trump-picked U.S. attorneys for similar reasons in Nevada last month and Central California just this week, putting prosecutions there into question as well. In Habba’s case, the White House has been steadfast in keeping one of Trump’s most loyal allies overseeing all federal investigations in a district that happens to be home to his Bedminster golf club and presidential summer retreat.Longtime prosecutors in the office have become increasingly uncomfortable with Habba’s decisions and tactics, sources said.Pam Bondi flouts the law.
Same, but I'm here for you if you need me!Thanks so much for this because I don't get a lot of fellowship where I am and it helps to have the word of God reiterated with fellow Christians.
Mukbangs might not be a good idea, since it promotes overeating. And when you're on a diet, that isn't going to help because you'll just crave food. As far as ASMR, I try and find wholesome artists to watch. I stopped promoting one after she came out saying she started OF... I was like, yep... not supporting that and unsubbed. But general ASMR isn't a sin as long as the content is wholesome. Latte, and Myaling are my 2 absolute favorites.Like you, I was watching ASMR and mukbangs to manage cravings through third party but then I felt bad like I was encouraging sin through others so I stopped... I don't know...!
Thank you!Sorry about the milk intolerance! That must be a lot to manage because, as you say, there is milk in so many things!! But, congrats on your weight loss!!
Congrats at getting down so far!! And also, give yourself some grace to realize that you're headed in the wrong direction and you're trying to do something about it. That in itself is exactly what you should be doing! Remember, this is a race (I really like Pauls metaphor as it makes total sense), so the only thing you need to do is KEEP GOING. Struggles aren't going to be an overnight thing where suddenly you wake up in the morning and it's all gone and you're good and you can go take on the world!! It's conquering 1 thing at a time, step by step. If you fall off the horse, get back on. Your desire to get a grip on this is a wholesome one and I KNOW God is going, "YOU CAN DO IT!" Picture him like your cheerleader XDI started out being Obese class II and managed to get to 'healthy' according to BMI scale but have crept my way up to 'overweight' by 10 pounds due to stress eating! I really want to get a grip on this so I can honor God through honoring my body and not resorting to anything worldly when stress and fear seem to consume me!
You're welcome! Probably because you're just not used to looking at it this way. Don't worry, that's why we have fellowship! We help each other <3Thank you for the reminder that it is Satan. I think about God a lot but never Satan. I don't know why!
I don't blame you. Things get leaked all the time but maybe it might help to open up a word doc, pour out your heart just so you can feel like you're getting it out there and then delete it. Then go to God and pray about what you just wrote. Writing helps me sort my emotions and thoughts and if physical writing hurts, maybe this method might help you.I'm still so scared. I have a paper journal and will try to use that more often. I had an online diary, because writing hurts (!) but I don't think it was helping because I only went to it after the fact AND I'm scared of anything being noted online in our current censorship era.
Will do! And if you need someone too, I'm here also!So, appreciate your help, thank you so much. If you need an accountability buddy, let me know!
most conservatives I know don’t take him seriously.Not smart, seems to know nothing about history. (Likes both Stalin and Hitler??) Anyhoo-what concerns me is everyday young men who feel disenfranchised in our society and don't do critical thinking seem to follow him. I'm glad he's being denounced by some good conservatives that I follow.
Understanding? More like, “engrafted word” of God's example for which brother Kirk paid the price for.Grant them understanding Father for the loss they now exhibit, their destitution from that blessed engrafted word of God for which brother Kirk paid the price for.
Certainly, show the sequence with the chart at your church.Thanks for this! I will use this, if you don't mind, when talking to my church about the rapture.
You claim it's just a subjective preference, but then you act as if it is an objective issue. You aren't consistent in maintaining that it's just your subjective preference, because you act as if it is well and truly wrong not just distasteful to you.
