Vote for moderates.America is caught in a tug-of-war that feels like it’s pulling the nation apart at the seams. On one side stands the radical left (woke left), proudly flying the banner of Marx’s vision of communism under the modern guise of “wokeness.” On the other side, a growing segment of the radical right (woke right), fed up (and hey, fair enough — their frustration with the left isn’t wrong) with the institutionalization of the Left’s agenda in our schools, media, and government, is beginning to embrace the rhetoric and logic of fascism.
What’s happening here is not new — it’s a dialectic at work. Philosophers like Hegel, and later Karl Marx, explained history as a process of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. An idea or system (the thesis) is challenged by its opposite (the antithesis), and out of that clash comes a new state of affairs (the synthesis).
In the 20th century, we watched this play out in real time. The old monarchies and empires of Europe collapsed after World War I, and into that vacuum came two radical opposites: communism and fascism. Lenin’s Bolsheviks took Russia and promised a classless utopia by abolishing private property and dissolving traditional institutions. Fascists like Mussolini in Italy and Hitler in Germany rose up as a direct reaction, promising to crush communism with nationalism, authoritarian control, and corporatist economies.

How can we save America from the radicals?

I always wanted to be married. It's been a struggle. Sometimes I hear people tell me 'you just got to accept it.' To me, that always sounded depressing. It also sounded like something someone who's ticked off at everything would say. It didn't sound 'right.' So it made me wonder what does the Bible say about when you 'lose' at something? It says God still has something for you & that's better for you. He sees things from his perspective, not the world's.
He's paying too much.I wonder if OP has learned anything from this thread.
Nope to what? Phone records don't need a subpoena?Nope.
The technical lingo is 'AI offloading' can weaken cognitive plasticity—the brain’s ability to strengthen circuits through effortful use.
Well, that's a long subject!Symbolical and represent something literal in the sense of something really taking place, but I think maybe real or actual rather than literal. In this regard I think the numbers may not be literal, but they have a significance. 1000 years may signify God's Reign itself, rather than a literal duration?
Then what do they have to do with a public business (the hospital discussed in the thread)?None. Their religious life is based on begging and taking care of the elderly.
They were dealt with.What about the Confederate states?
A false conflict when the Holy Spirit does not contradict himself in his own God-breathed word (2 Tim 3:16). . .
Ephesians 4:11-16 tells us apostles are always need in the church, maybe until Christ returns. For the perfecting of saints, to measure up to Christ, to resist false teachings, wolves, for love.I think I will continue trusting what God says in His word about apostles.
We can study things in order to discern, distinguish and better articulate Orthodoxy from heterodoxy.The devil is an immitator. So what if we share postures with Hinduism? Should we study Hinduism to imitate more of their postures and worship of their false gods?
We are to relax and rest in the peace of Christ
It serves no purpose for a Christian to learn Hinduism in order to bring its practices to Christianity. It is a distraction and takes our eyes off of Christ our redeemer. We have so little time in the world, it makes no sense to study or imitate the worship of false gods, unless we are called to understand them and bring the love of Christ to them.
I don’t need my Christian friends teaching me about Hinduism. Your quote from John of the Cross is interesting because it reveals the danger of yoga. If we do not practice idolatry, then the devil has no power over us, but if we imitate the motions of idolatry and try to claim it is not wrong, then the devil can use the memories of our actions against us
Claiming to do yoga without idolatry is the same as claiming to watch porn without lust. It serves no godly purpose
Not so fast Marily C. First the Scriptures are silent on infants and the still born that died who never had an opportunity to perform any work. So Thier fate in Scripture is not described. The passage implies that judgement can only be applied only if one performs a work. (Which by the way just means how they lived their life on earth).Otherwise no judgement can be imposed because their book when opened has nothing written in it as to how they lived their life to judge them by
What's that last sentence mean?BONDI: you're so concerned with money. gibber dark money groups you take money.
If winning a debate is vacuous assertions with no data or quotes from successful government agencies and universities, then you winI see that you are still enjoying your liberal cookies and kool-aid.
Hello RDKirk, most failures of this sort, in and of themselves, are not sins, of course. However, if you said/promised someone that you would do something for them but ended up being unable to, for whatever reason, I think that that is one of the situations that does warrant an apology.When the answer to the questions "What could I have done better in the situation?" or "What did I do wrong in the situation?" is "Nothing."
Is an apology owed when nothing wrong was done?
