the myth of flat earth debunked again

On behalf of all Australians, I would like to apologise for this video produced by one of my fellow Aussies. Though the production standards are excellent, his whole premise is nonsense. He also suffers from a strong anti-Catholic bias which kind of set the stage for his other biases. Nothing of value here.

Do you keep the Sabbath? (poll)

The curses in Deuteronomy apply to the nation of Israel when they break any of the Laws that apply to them, including the ceremonial laws. The Israelites were thrown into exile in Babylon because they failed to observe the Sabbath Year, which is a different law than the 4th commandment, and that is the final curse on the list.
The only Laws we are told that ended are the ones contained in ordinances Eph2:15 Col2:14KJV, hand written by Moses, that mainly had to to with the earthy priesthood duties, food and drink offerings and animal sacrifices for the remissions of sins.
When Paul was writing the letter to the Colossians, he was writing to Gentiles who were never under the Deuteronomy law at all. The curses that apply to the nation of Israel in Deuteronomy are different than the curse of failing to keep the Decalogue that I just told you. The latter applies to Jew and Gentile alike and it's what Jesus has set us free from in the power of His Sacrifice on the Cross - the curse of Sin, Death, and hell.
The curses and blessings of the law of God applies to us too. This is right before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Only two groups.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.


15 But outside (cursed) are dogs and sorcerers (Breaking commandment #1 Exodus 20:3) and sexually immoral (breaking commandment #7 Exodus 20:14) and murderers (breaking commandment #6 Exodus 20:13) and idolaters (breaking commandment #2 Exodus 20:4-6), and whoever loves and practices a lie (breaking # 9 Exodus 20:16 or any of the commandments 1 John 2:4) Breaking one we break them all James 2:11-12 Exo 20:1-17 .

Why Jesus said:

Mat 5:19 Whoever (anyone) therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

Rom2: 11 For there is no partiality with God.12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law 13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;

How do you hold Adam accountable to a law he did not know about (and the entirety of humanity would not know about) for thousands of years after he lived?
We are told where there is no law there is no sin Rom4:15, they sinned so obviously God told them the laws to only worship Him and not vain His name or bow to idols or break His holy Sabbath that was made for man Mark2:27 the Greek word Jesus used means mankind, the Hebrew word means Adam that Adam and Eve were made in the image of God (to be followers) before the very first Sabbath Exo20:11 Gen2:1-3

Why Cain knew it was sin to murder to Abel, only found in God's Ten Commandments.

Lets not forget Whose commandments the Ten are they are God's commandments Exo20:6 Deut4:13 Exo31:18- they all are shown in principles and shown they were given as commandments prior to Mt Sinai and I can show you examples. Sadly, man is the one who has lowered the standard of God's commandments, laying them aside and making them of no effect Mark 7:7-13 Mat15:3-14 making them equal or less than the laws through man that would have never been given in the first place if God's commandments were kept. Sin separated us from God Isa59:2 (breaking His laws 1John3:4 James2:11) doing the same thing that got Lucifer kicked out of heaven and Adam and Eve kicked out of the garden is not how we are to reconcile. If we love Jesus, we would let Him define His owns laws which He did, both personally written and spoken and claimed them as "My commandments" Exo20:6 Deut4:13 i.e. God's commandments - God's Testimony Exo31:18, not mans. I do not understand the issue with God's commandments- the first 4 has God's name in each one of them on how we are to love and serve Him and if we love Him why would we not want to keep them. John14:15 Exo20:6 1John5:3 instead of following the power who changed them against the Authority of God Dan7:25. Just like Adam and Eve were tested as well as those in the wilderness, so are we. I pray we make right decisions and follow the narrow path back to God and not follow what is popular by man. A form of godliness without the Power. Eze20:12 Exo20:20 Exo20:11 Rev14:7

Joe Biden Loses Cool When Asked Question

Call a man a Nazi long enough and people start believing it.
Don't put words in my mouth. I said fascistic. Trump referred to himself as a fascist yesterday when Mamdani was in his office.

Trump even let Mamdani answer a question about whether the mayor-elect thought the president was a "fascist".

"That's ok, you can just say yes," Trump interjected, giving Mamdani a light tap on the arm and smiling. "It's easier than explaining."
It was likely in jest. But for a US president to be joking about something like that, big oof.

You predicted Trump family flees to Russia. You mean you think he won't?
That was a joke riffing on your failed prediction about Biden being out of office 4.5 years ago.

I'll give you one you can cook me on because it's probably not going to happen. Or at least I really hope this won't happen.

"GOP introduces bill to retroactively lower the age of consent to 14".

Seeing as how MAGA has been trying to normalize sex with 15-year-olds.

So far, at least nine (now ~40) (now ~160) judges, including Trump appointees, have called a halt to Trump executive actions

Birthright citizenship returns to Supreme Court as justices meet to weigh Trump's restrictions

The justices could say as soon as Monday whether they will hear Trump’s appeal of lower court rulings that have uniformly struck down the citizenship restrictions.​

Doesn't seem like there's an issue.
Yeah this seems like a no brainer. If someone doesnt love it. Change the constitution.

Fulfilled Dream reinterpretation and most probably related to Comet 3I/Atlas

At first I though its about the work I have now. But originally the dream was literally about something coming from space.

The female AI humanoid in my dream told me about the importance of those dates especially about July 7. I already told about this date in my dream around March (see link below)

Or I could have misread her very human-like handwriting and it could have been July 1 !! The same day 3I/Atlas comet was discovered!

I felt the urgency in her tone but she also sounded positive. She was very cryptic in her communication as if whatever is arriving cannot be revealed to anyone, yet it is very important to me like a gift or a package that is meant only for me. I don't know. It's all very strange.

Something huge also happened to me at my end last July 1. It wasn't just the job. I can't tell about it anymore. One thing for sure, it's not about money, I'm still poor!


Establishes connection to my March 20 dream:

March 20 dream

Staging ground in space:


Details I left out originally - the object will originate from beyond the Solar System.

I'm supposed to rendezvous with it but as of now, I have absolutely no means of reaching whatever is out there and I have to be there physically (in fact, nobody have the means to send a man in deep space as of yet unless it's a one-way death trip!). In fact, the female AI told me precise coordinates in space. I did not write it down and ultimately forgot the coordinates!!:doh::doh:

There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

Piezoelectric effects come from the crystal structure. The effects can't be added or concentrated unless the crystals were aligned and connected electrically. Granite is filled with crystals of random orientation. The piezoelectric effects can't be "concentrated".
That seems to contradict the idea that granite has a higher piezoelectric effect. So if there is a concentration of granite in the chambers then there will be a higher piezoelectric effect in those chambers by the fact there is a higher concentration of granite in the chambers lol.

Is not that te reason the granite is filled with crystals as opposed to other stones or material. So therefore potentially it can be tapped into under certain conditions. I assume the acoustic resonance tests are to do with certain sound frequencies as one way that may tap into the osiliations and change them.
Rocks are make of minerals Steve.
Yes and the rocks in the subterrainian caverns under the pyramids are rich in minerals which cause certain chemical reactions. Discoveries have shown that the rocks contain an abundence of crystals. Once again a location conducive for potential naturally occurring piezoelectric effects. Its no coincidence that the Egyptians chose such a location instead of some barren location with nothing but bedrock.
Which was a silly thing to say. I'm not even sure who said this or in what context, but there are two possibilities given the long conversation we've had with you.
The scientist who was heading the research said it and its not a silly thing to say. In your perspnal opinion its a silly thing to say. But not everyone agrees with you.
1. The modeling of the long EM wave response to the giant pile of limestone blocks as an inspiration to build nano-pyramids. Even if everything you've quoted about Egyptians making a EM focusing device was true (and it almost certainly is not),
Can you show me the peer reviewed science that shows it "certainly is not". Once again absolute words require absolute science.
it still wouldn't make the Egyptians "nanotechnologists", but "macrotechnologists". Therefore calling Egyptians "nanotechnologists" is silly.
Once again your personal unqualified opinion. If the researchers can develop nanotech from the Egyptians knowledge then it is from that knowledge that the nanotech came from. That gave the insight in the first place. Without it the discovery would not have happened. Or at least when it did.

But even if we call the Egyptians Macro techs its still advanced compared to the othodoxy that will have the poor Egyptians slaving away the hard way all day long in the hot sun 24/7 with primitive pounders and tools lol. Just like the stone casting where its made out to just be cement and nothing spcial to see here.

It takes cement making back a good 1,000 years. But it appears the Egyptian cement is far superior and has lasted nearly 5,000 years that it can fool archeologists for being the real stone lol. Marvelling at how tight they got those joins. Proposing they must have spend even more time on rubbing them away to get such precision.

Every effort made to turn every example of advanced knowledge into nothing special so that it aligns with the orthodoxy.
2. Many composite materials contain small amounts of nanoparticles that have outsized effects on their properties, which is part of what "nanotechnology" is about when done deliberately. (There was a story about a odd glass I saw recently that contained nanoparticles that gave it peculiar properties, but the ancient makers had no idea about them and only knew that a particular set of inputs and procedures could result in it.) If Egyptian materials had "nanoparticles" in them, it was accidental and not knowingly. At best they were "accidental" nanotechnologists, but to call them that is silly.
Yeah just a bunch of accidental coincidences that keep piling up lol.

I agree I don't think the ancients had any idea of what they were doing from a academic point of view. They were immersed in nature so what they experiences and discovered came from a completely different paradigm of knowledge. Yet it still was messing around with nature, chemistry, physics ect and may have been more advanced than where we are at.

Almost like a back door to what science is trying to work out. Just a different way of knowing in how they got there to understand nature and then create conditions that best utilised that.

That is why I think just about everything they did had a reason connected with nature and reality. Because that is where they were at. They did not have all the accumulated enlightenment. Just themselves experiencing nature and reality directly through copnscious experiences which revealed deeper insights into reality. Not just accidents or coincidents. I don't think your appreciating the ancients ability.

Trump praises NYC Mayor-elect Mamdani after White House meeting

Wrong choice!!
Mamdani doesn't deserve any praise.
He's on the wrong side politically for one thing.
His views don't represent America.
He is unfit to hol a political position in America.
Lord willing, he'll fall flat on his face and the people in NYC will wake up fast.
If so, that may temper Mamdani.
Maybe he'll get everything done and it will be wonderful.

Why do people hate ICE...

Yes. As I've shared before, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the ACA.
Thats it? The ACA? All that you wrote regarding how terrible and racist the republicans are had to do with the. ACA? The rest of your life is way better and its all due to the ACA? It seemed like you were talking about a lot of things beside the ACA.

By the way, I am glad you are okay. My friend wasnt helped by the ACA.

Ambassador Mike Huckabee Invited Spy Who Sold American Secrets to Israel into the US Embassy for a Secret Meeting

Trump Ambassador Mike Huckabee Held Secret Meeting With Traitor Who Sold American Secrets to Israel

President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, held a secret meeting in July with traitor Jonathan Pollard, who served 30 years in prison for selling American secrets to Israel.

According to a report from the New York Times, Pollard met with Huckabee at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem in July for a discussion that was “kept off Mr. Huckabee’s official schedule,” and revealed for the first time on Thursday.

Pollard confirmed the rendezvous in an interview with the Times, telling the newspaper “it was a friendly meeting” and that “a lot of things that came up in conversation.”

Three unnamed officials told the New York Times that the meeting “alarmed the Central Intelligence Agency’s station chief in Israel.” The White House was also reportedly unaware that the secret meeting was taking place.

(Spies usually have to work a little harder to get inside one of our embassies.)

Pollard was released from prison in 2015 and moved to Israel in 2020 – flying on a private jet owned by top Trump donor Sheldon Adelson to Tel Aviv, where he was given a hero’s welcome by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In 2021, Trump pardoned Aviem Sella, the Israeli handler who recruited Pollard to spy on the United States.
Well, that’s a thing.

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

That is why they are commanded to repent. We all have that choice while

That is why they are commanded to repent. We all have that choice while alive.
No, no no. That's not true at all, since it's impossible for anyone to repent unless God first gives them the gift of repentance. You try asking a corpse to repent and see if they exercise their "free choice" and chose to repent. This is exactly what you're suggesting, is possible.

Haven't you heard that you were born dead in sin, how can a dead man exercise his human rights and choose the path to eternal paradise, instead of eternal torment in the lake of fire. Are you suggesting that the vast majority of mankind choses to spend eternity in hell???

Who then can be saved?

It's almost amusing. You don't even attempt to perform the due diglence required in order to find out the truth for yourself, and then still endeavor to take the moral high ground like some kind of priggish Pharisee, while accusing me of your own fault.

Again, Insitutes is theology, systematic theology, and 2 Thess 1:8-10 specifically states, over and against your position, that those in hell will be "shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed."

Oh well, this discussion has descended into one of those rare moments when I'll express my distaste with the ignore button.
That's fine, you're welcome to hit the panic button. But it shows you can't defend your denomination's version of the gospel.
I have never expressed my private opinion about any doctrine, all I have done is defend the gospel of the Lord Jesus and it seems to have offended you.

Six Democrats urge military members to 'refuse illegal orders' in viral video; Hegseth responds

The bar for the military is "manifestly illegal." If Trump's orders were "manifestly illegal" these matters would not be in appellate court. The courts are still trying to figure out if they are "manifestly illegal."
Well, the UCMJ says this:
(c) Lawfulness. A general order or regulation is lawful unless it is contrary to the Constitution, the laws of the United States, or lawful superior orders or for some other reason is beyond the authority ofthe official issuing it. See the discussion of lawful-
ness in paragraph 14c(2)(a).

Now, we all know what is contrary to the laws of the United States and for the most part, the Constitution. Some ambiguity may arise as to how much authority that Congress has given to the President in so called National Emergencies. But, it is the military's duty to disobey unlawful orders. We will have some clarity when SCOTUS rules on the case on the docket about using the military in Chicago.
And which the military would have, if any had been illegal orders.
The Navy has more information than the public has but it is their responsibility to report to Congress, if Congress calls for it, and which Congress says nothing has been provided to justify the bombing of boats in International waters.

Nothing in our laws allows for the murder or killing of alleged drug traffickers unless being fired upon.
