10/7/23 Anniversary Hamas Attacked Israel

Those wars were started by the demonic savages of Hamas who use innocent people, including children, as human shields.

Do you believe that Palestinians are human beings created in the Image of God and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect?

The Schumer Shutdown

Outside of VA care for veterans and Medicare/Medicaid everything is private insurance or out of pocket.

If people dont have healthcare they only go to the hospital as a last resort, so problems are only identified in late stages where care is more expensive or where it's too late to treat. Hospitals charge more to make up for people who don't have health care and can't pay or are slow to pay and because Medicare/Medicaid doesn’t reimburse at decent amounts. A couple of hospitals have already decided to close because they won't have enough money to cover operating expenses as a result of the "BBB" passed.

When hospitals charge more, health insurance companies charge more, so this affects everyone's cost.

I'm one of those people who would just stick it out and suffer or use home remedies when I didnt have insurance. Home remedies sre still my first go to. If it wasn't for Obamacare I probably wouldn't be here. My insurance is through my employer but they weren't offering it to employees who were classified as part time. Once the ACA passed I was able to sign up again.

I got insurance that Jan and finally felt so bad I went to the emergency room early Feb. I didn't have a primarily care physician. I had been having issues for months with a persistent cough and ankles swelling. I thought I would be given a diuretic and sent home. They kept me 3 days. I had HBP which led to congestive heart failure. The cough was due to fluid build up in my lungs and the swollen ankles from fluid retention also.
My kidneys were failing, but once they got my HBP down they recovered ok. If I hadn't got insurance I wouldn't have gone because I couldn't have afforded it. As it was, I ended up with a bill for several thousand dollars. I was able to get a payment plan via the hospital though.

I have to have insurance for doctors visits and to cover the cost of the prescriptions. If I can't afford to keep my healthcare I may have to get another doctor. He requires payments up front to receive care if you dont have an insurance copay.

I won't be nearly as bad off as thousands of other people, though. Too many people are treating this as a red vs blue issue, supporting their own team, instead of an American issue.

There was a comment I heard several months back that said as Christians we tend to value HEALING but we don't value HEALTH. That rang true, for me at least, so I've been taking better care of myself.

The GOP didn't announce a repeal of Obamacare this time. They are trying to give it a slower death by starving it. They thought the effects wouldn't be felt until after next years midterms but it's being felt now as hospitals do budgets months in advance, hence some of the closures. I hope common sense will prevail and the GOP with do the right thing for the sake of it being the right thing. Barring that, I hope they are willing to do it for the self benefit of keeping their job.
That is so rough! 20 years ago when my son had leukaemia we didn't have to pay a cent. It is stressful enough to be sick or have a little kid that's sick.

Back then I practically lived in hospital with my son for about 6 months. The carer burnout My wife and I suffered while running a business and me being full-time carer was rough enough. Adding all that financial trauma to satisfy some warped right wing paranoia about socialised medicine just makes me angry! My son's treatment was entirely free - all 6 months. We only paid for parking and snacks.

Also, a few months ago I had this incredible pain in my gut. It just built and built! I went into one hospital, ended up on painkillers while they took a scan, and then the next day was transferred to another hospital to have a kidney stent inserted for a kidney stone.

I went in late Thursday night and came out from another hospital Saturday afternoon, surgery and recovery time will included.

It was all 100% free.

And the best bit? Australians pay half what Americans pay.

Government-owned and operated hospitals are just that much cheaper.

Economic loss for the US

I just read that Trump put 100 percent tariffs on China. Like China cares. They already proved., they can get things elsewhere.
There’s a store near us that sells board games and gifts (including stuffed animals) which my son and I will go in from time to time, mainly just to look around. They are seasonal and only open around Christmas. We went there yesterday and the shelves were 30% empty. Maybe they were just starting to stock shelves, but more likely I assume it’s because of tariffs.

It really stinks for the businesses directly impacted by this. My work will be impacted directly and indirectly. What we make are luxury items. We’re paying more for materials because of tariffs, and sales are suffering because when everything else is getting more expensive, luxury items are one the first things people will cut out of their budget.

Our sales always take a hit during recessions, but this is especially bad, since it’s coming right after a period of high inflation.

New Qatari Air Force Facility to Be Built in Idaho

Looks like the US has been article 5'd as well.

Sec. 2. Commitment. (a) The United States shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States.

(b) In the event of such an attack, the United States shall take all lawful and appropriate measures — including diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary, military — to defend the interests of the United States and of the State of Qatar and to restore peace and stability.

So Qatar funds Hamas and lets their leaders hang out in the kingdom, Israel lobs a few missiles onto the base, Qatar regards it as an armed attack on the territory. Oh boy, this is gonna be a hoot!

Don't Believe The Lies!

“How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position;
They delight in falsehood;
They bless with their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. Selah.
My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
On God my salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.” (Psalm 62:3-8 NASB1995)

Who are the enemies of those of us who have put our hope, faith, and trust in Jesus Christ to be our Lord (Owner-Master) and Savior (deliverer from sin)? Well, our main enemy is Satan (the devil) and his demons. But we also have human opposition from others who disagree with us or who despise us because of who we are and what we do or what we speak. Some (or most) of our opposition may come from others who profess faith in Jesus Christ, who do not believe what we do, or it may come from the world at large.

We live in a day and age, at least here in the USA, we do, where the gospel of our salvation has been so altered and diluted that it barely resembles the gospel taught by Jesus Christ and by his New Testament apostles, taught in the correct biblical context. So many have now turned faith in Jesus Christ into lip service only, with no requirements for dying to sin and obeying God, in practice. Or if they teach biblical repentance (a change of mind and heart and behavior) and obedience, many are making these optional, not required.

So, if you are a genuine follower of Jesus Christ whose life is surrendered to the Lord, to doing his will and purpose for your life, you may be assailed (attacked, reviled, berated) for your testimony for Jesus Christ and for his gospel message. Some of you may even face death because of your faith, and because you express your faith openly. Or you may face death threats because of your stand on the truth of God’s Word, and because you will not bow to human pressure to believe the lies of the enemy of our souls.

And all this is an absolute reality in our day and time because so many people are opposed to Jesus Christ and to his gospel message, even among the many who give verbal confessions of faith in the Lord Jesus.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

But this is not what is being taught as the gospel message here in the USA by the majority. Some people, like Max Lucado, for example, have diluted the gospel message to a mere acknowledgement of Jesus Christ and who he was/is, and to what he did on that cross (in part, but not in whole). And he promises you salvation from sin and eternal life with God guaranteed, regardless of how you live. He sees salvation as “insurance” to cover him and his many sins, with no requirements for death to sin and obeying God.

Max Lucado Insurance Letter:

Cancelled Insurance?

If you read Max Lucado’s insurance letter, please do so prayerfully and with much biblical insight into what he is really saying. For the way he words this may sound good, and it may sound right, but it is not biblical, even though he uses some Scriptures (mostly out of context) to try to prove his theology. Will Jesus forgive us our sins if we ask him? He will if we repent (a change in heart and mind, resulting in a change of behavior), if we die to sin, and if we now obey God and his commands, in practice, by his grace, in his power.

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

And we learn in 1 John 1-3 that if we claim that we have fellowship with God, but yet we walk in darkness (sin), we are liars. If we claim that we know God, but we do not obey his commandments, in practice, we are liars. For it is not the one who claims he is “in Christ” who is “in Christ,” but it is the one who has denied self, died with Christ to sin, and who is now walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in practice, and no longer in sin. We have the hope and the promise of eternal life with God in heaven.

Regardless of what Max Lucado and others teach about our salvation, please make sure you are believing what Jesus and his apostles taught in the New Testament, when taught in the full and correct biblical context. For many liars exist who are teaching a false gospel and a false hope of salvation which does not guarantee you salvation from sin and eternal life with God. For if sin is what you still practice, and not obedience to God, you are not in relationship with Jesus Christ, and you will not inherit eternal life with God.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

As the Deer

By Martin J. Nystrom
Based off Psalm 42:1


As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after You
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You

You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You

Faith

You seem to be diverting from the topic of "the set of laws which God has given". Assuming that you believe that the example of Jesus' obedience to what God has commanded includes obedience to all of the commandments in the Bible, then it is no small thing to disobey what, for many, are trivial and outdated commandments such as kindling a fire on the Sabbath. I assume (correct me if I am mistaken) that you eat only cold food on the Sabbath.
You ever kindle a fire? There is a lot to it. Sometimes you could be at it for a while. It can get frustrating. IT IS WORK. Especially back then. Flipping a switch or turning a knob is not.

The Ten Commandments are the Covenant, did you know?

Just as a general comment in this ridiculous thread, even though it has been repeated for years on end here,...


- We have a new covenant, not a re-newed one.
What is the New Covenant established on? All new laws? Can you please point where it says this?

According to what I can find in Scripture the New Covenant is established (the basis) on better promises

Heb 8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

What else does the New Covenant have?

Heb8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Who determines what are God's laws- God or us?

God said the first covenant His Ten Commandments are His laws

Deu 4:13 So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

Deu 5:22 "These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and He added no more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

Exo 20:6 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

According to clear Scripture the New Covenant is established on better promises and still has God's laws now written on a better surface, from tables of stone to tablets of the heart. Why we see all Ten Commandments being kept all throughout the NC because they never disappeared as many teach because its still sin to break them 1John3:4 breaking one we break them all James 2:11

2 Cor3:3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

I don't know why so many spend their time focusing on what the NC is not about instead on focusing what God said it is about- better promises. Is it a better promise to worship other gods? Or is it the better promise of how God will help us keep His commandments through our love and faith (John14:15-18) so we don't sin and fall in apostasy like those who came before us. Do we really think God loves us more than those before us Rom2:11 that the result is going to be different when we are told plainly its not? Heb 4:11 1 John2:4 Mat7:21-23 Rev 22:14-15 Heb 10:26-30

Like Joshua if only worshipping God seems evil to us, which is the first commandment in the Ten that Jesus plainly said He did not come to destroy (like the other nine) we all must make choices. . .

Joh 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of [b]the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
- We are children of Abraham, not children of Moses.
Yes, Abraham also kept God's commandments Gen 26:5 as did Moses as does everyone who loves God and abides in Him. Exo20:6 John14:15 Rev 14:12 John 15:10 1 John 3:24 Rev 22:14 etc
- Jesus fulfilled all of the law, not part of it. It is finished/completed.
Lets again actually look at the Scripture

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

Does fulfill mean the same thing as destroy? To end- of course not. When one fulfills a wedding covenant does that mean they can commit adultery? Sadly this is what people are teaching to commit adultery with God. Jesus filled- full the Law just as He promised to do

Isa 42:21 The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

What are we supposed to do with God's law- same as Jesus John15:10 1 John2:6

Rom 8:4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

What does walking in the flesh mean? Those laying aside the commandments of God Mark7:7-8

Rom 8: 7 Because the [c]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

So lets not twist what Jesus said plainly and make ourselves an enemy to Him.

Those who receive His Spirit is not disobeying God's laws John 15:14-18 Acts 5:32. If one would use common sense- is Jesus teaching because He fulfilled the law that means we can worship other gods, or vain His holy name, or steal from our neighbor and murder them breaking the least of these commandments the opposite of what He said in the same passage? Mat5:19-30 that makes us an enemy of God Rom8:7-8 and outside God's Kingdom Rev22:15
- We obey Jesus and "His" commandments, not Moses and the law.
Please find Moses in one of these verses. This is God of the Universe speaking and His own personal written Testimony- Moses is not God. Jesus said He did not come to destroy but to magnify

Exo 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [a]bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor [b]serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting[c] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Deu 4:13 So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

Exo 20:6 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Sometimes things are just too simple for people to understand and they hold onto personal beliefs instead of seeking the truth from GOD (even though the truth is staring them right in the face).
This we can agree on.

Truth according to Scripture

Jesus is the Truth John 14:6
All His commandments are Truth Psa 119:151
His Word is Truth John 17:17

His Truth sets us free John 8:32

But sadly many have turned from the Truth as we are told

2 Tim 4: 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables

Dominion Voting Systems - the very ones Trump accused of fixing the election for Biden - just purchased by a former Republican election official!

More to the point, will Democrats now turn on Dominion? Will we see now see forums dominated by Democrats complaining about the machines? Will they now question the results of any election where polling is done with Dominion machines?

Speaking of questions, have you used a Dominion machine to cast a ballot or have you see one used?

Worried about my discussion I had with my father about the lost people

28th OT



2 Kings 5:14-17

I invite us to read the complete story of King Naaman and Elisha. Here, we only have the end. It is worth the joy of reading this story starting from verse 1. 2 Kings 14:1-17



Naaman was a general, and a leper.

He was sent to Elisha, who did not receive him, but sent a servant to tell him to bathe seven times in the Jordan River.



Naaman became very angry. Elisha did not do as the general had previously said, with oil and healers. So he refused to bathe.



But his servants said to him, "If the prophet told you to do something extraordinary, would you not do it? All the more since he told you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?" Naaman went and bathed.



We too often think that the spiritual life must be difficult. There is nothing difficult with God. It's too easy.



As Saint Pope John XXIII tells us: "Let us simplify complicated things and not complicate simple things."



2 Tim 2:8-13

"If we persevere we shall also reign with him."



It is not necessary to endure temptation to reign. The reign of God is gentle and simple. Let us become more ourselves, balanced in God's Love, and the radiance (reign) of God’s will touch and rejoice the hearts around us.



Luke 17:11-19

The purified man replies to Jesus:

"This foreigner returned to give thanks to God!"



And yet, it is so simple to give glory, to give thanks to God. Every time we experience joy and peace, let us give thanks, and give glory to God.



Every time we do something good, let us give glory to God, for it is He who gives us the goodness to be good. This will also remind us that God is with us at every moment.

Distraction and Misdirection: The Demonic Shell Game

It should not take too much insight for any follower of Christ to figure out that the greatest spin doctor / manipulator in the world is the devil. He distorts and blurs moral situations with trigger words, falsehoods, and ideas he has already injected into our society. In so doing, Satan successfully pulls gullible, ill-prepared, and lukewarm Christians into his shell game of moral and eternal doom.

Evil Is Not the Opposite of Good, It Is the Opposite of Truth

Evil is not exclusively the absence of good. It is a distortion, corruption, and falsification. Evil functions not simply as a void but as a perverse mimicry: it counterfeits the good, while at the same time denying the truth of what is.

Our Heavenly Father Offers Us Mercy

It is impossible to receive the love that God wants us to experience without understanding the mercy and love of the Father for us. God loves us and has forgiven us unconditionally. We must claim forgiveness by confessing our sins through Reconciliation and surrendering to God’s love.

Palisades Fire live updates: Wildfires spread in Los Angeles, prompting mandatory evacuations, as Santa Ana winds expected to intensify

He who smelt it, dealt it.

Florida man ‘maliciously’ started Palisades fire, then tried to cover his tracks, authorities allege

Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, is accused of starting the initial fire on New Year’s Day that rekindled to become the Palisades fire days later. He was arrested Wednesday in Florida and charged with destruction of property by means of fire, which carries a minimum of five years in federal prison.

Among the evidence collected from Rinderknecht’s digital devices was a dystopian image he generated on ChatGPT depicting a burning city with people trying to flee, said Bill Essayli, acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, at a news conference Wednesday.

Rinderknecht called 911 to report the fire, then offered to help firefighters battle the blaze, according to an affidavit by an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Prosecutors accused Rinderknecht of lying about where he was when he made his first 911 call.

While some residents said they saw fireworks in the area on Jan. 1, authorities said they don’t believe fireworks were a factor in the initial fire, called the Lachman fire. Rinderknecht allegedly set the fire “maliciously” with an open flame — “likely a lighter” that ignited combustible material like vegetation or paper, according to the ATF agent’s affidavit. [I understand he had a long neck BBQ lighter in his car.]

He made “false statements” to investigators, prosecutors alleged, saying he first saw the fire after he left the Hidden Buddha clearing and walked down the trail toward his car. However, GPS data from his phone showed he was in the clearing when he first called 911.

Son of missionaries accused of setting destructive Palisades fire

They recall him as the shy and quiet son of missionaries, who could sometimes grow “bratty” or excited when challenged.

In the Hollywood neighborhood where he lived and worked as an Uber driver, one acquaintance described him as “a really nice guy.” Yet he was embroiled in an ugly legal conflict with a neighbor in his apartment complex that included accusations of abuse and drug use.

[Previously he lived in Palisades, near the fire's origin.]

The Skull Rock trailhead — which was cited in the government’s criminal complaint — was located just steps from their home, the old roommate said, and the pair would often hike the route.

In the fall of 2018 — before he lived in Hollywood — Rinderknecht and a girlfriend used Airbnb to rent a room in a San Fernando Valley home, according to the landlord, who spoke to The Times on the condition of anonymity for fear of harassment.

As the weeks wore on, however, the landlord grew concerned. She overheard Rinderknecht speaking to his girlfriend, and said he was disrespectful, even cruel. She suspected that he was using illicit substances and that he was damaging her home’s walls and window blinds.

The landlord said that sometimes, she would overhear the girlfriend crying, or saying that her family wanted her to leave Rinderknecht and fly back home.

“He disregarded all the rules. If I said don’t do this, he’d be very upset and talk back to me,” the landlord recalled. “I called Airbnb to kick him out.”

[After kicking them out, she had $2,000 in repairs to deal with.]

According to public records and posts on social media, the 29-year-old has roots in Florida, Hollywood, Pacific Palisades and the south of France, where his parents did missionary work.

Rinderknecht’s mother, Jennifer, is originally from Florida, according to Pastor Shawn Hurley with Meadowbrook Baptist Church in Lima, Ohio. His father, Joel, is a French citizen, and the couple live in France.

There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

You have not begun well then. I would never hear such a derogatry word used in a formal paper about another formal paper. That would have immediated disqualified you from even submitting anything lol. Remembering that when you say "your nonsense" your actually speaking about the researchers paper.
This explains why your posts are incoherent, you do not even comprehend basic English.
"Your nonsense" pertains to you not the researchers, it explains why you are confused in being unable to distinguish who the criticisms are directed against.
Never said that. I am just linking the screen shots of the stages of how the analogy was done. You can see those screen shots in context. I am not hiding anything. However the researchers done the tests and analysis is how I want to relay their work. As you say I don't know as I am not an expert.
Once again this indicates your failure to understand simple English, in this case the word 'context'. If your screen shots were in context and defined accordingly they would not be so misleading.
All I am intested in is relaying as best I can what the researchers are saying. It is fact they developed a new software to handle these vases. As I am not familar with different applications I could not even tell lol. But I am not saying that spoecific pages are what they developed. Just that they had to develop or adjust a software application to properly handle these vases. Thats exactly what was said.

Nope, just relaying exactly what was said in the article. In fact its almost word for word if you watch the video at the points I mentioned.

This is another logical fallacy a non sequitor. Obviously as mentioned this is unfunded research. Like all researchers you are on a budget and have to find other ways. Karoyl even makes as he says an unabashed appeal to any tech companies to help. Which has been the case in other projects. If it was not for the connections with Dunn and others in the Aerospace industry UnchartedX would not have access to the tech either.

But the fallacy that somehow finding a way around this issue by creating your own softward to specifically handle these unprecedented vases is somehow going to produce false results does not follow. Karoyl also states that they addressed the alignment issue and consulted experts and not just the 3 scientists you once again use another logical fallacy as being somehow unqualified because they are part of something you don't like the results of.
Given you do not understand what the word 'your' means I'm afraid there is very little hope of you comprehending multiple words such 'logical fallacy' and 'non sequitor'. Your motivation for such terms is described by a word which you will clearly struggle to understand it's called 'projection'.
They also consulted Zeiss and other specialist to develop the software. For all you know it may end up being groundbreaking and pioneering work.
And this a term that you will really struggle with as it involves Latin, it's the 'argumentum ad ignorantiam' fallacy.
I have noticed all these red herrings and little unfounded complaints about method. Which tells me you acknowledge that there is precision in these vase. Your just trying to reduce that precision anyway you can.
This has got to be one of your stupid comments.
Ok so I have three independent testers who have actually done tests and formal analysis and published the work. As opposed to someone on social media making a lot of logical fallacies. I know which way I will go. You will have to do better than that to convince me lol.

Just the tone of your posts and the name calling disqualifies you from any formal credibility.
This encapsulates (sorry for the big word) what happens when you struggle with simple English.
I asked a very simple question show me the test results of these three independent testers for me to be the judge.
While a six year old may not understand the technical background, they will understand the sentence construction and meaning, you clearly don't.

For myself…

I am here to ask you for prayers for myself (as well as family and other friends) but one of my dear friends I’ve met through the internet passed away yesterday (Friday) afternoon. I received word by 9pm EST as she lived in Wales. She visited the US and spent four days with me here in July for a concert. I’m absolutely heartbroken and feel myself slipping into a deep depression. I just want to wake up from this nightmare! :cry:

The Desperate Mullahs of Iran

Iran: The Critical Factor: 11th October 2025
The news from the Middle East over the past week is about the successful agreement to cease the war in Gaza.

This deal, orchestrated by Trump and forced on Hamas by their Islamic neighbours, is in no way, a final solution. Neither Israel or Hamas will give up their weapons, or their basic territory.
The whole situation is just a return to the status quo, of 2 years ago.
The Palestinians will set themselves up again, as aid for reconstruction, food and even toilet paper pours in. They have nothing and they do nothing; except breed more people to be indoctrinated into hatred of the Jews.

But there is no news coming from Iran. This should be our greatest concern, as the crazy Mullahs are rebuilding their nuclear facilities as quickly as possible.
They have enough enriched uranium to make several bombs, ones that can be fitted onto the missiles they already have. As many Prophesies tell us, they will attempt to destroy Israel.

This peace agreement seems very likely to be the one Paul Prophesies in 1 Thessalonians 5:3, where the peoples are happy and say: Peace and safety; but not for long, as then;- sudden destruction comes upon them.
This will be the exact fulfilment of Psalms 83:1-18, Psalms 7:12-16, and the many other Prophesies about the great and terrible Day of the Lords fiery wrath. ‘ Be assured it will come! Ezekiel 33:33

Was listening to a program talking about mental health.

My mental health issues Part #3)

This is something that happens far too often as well, and I have to write down some of these specific examples or I will forget all about them in time, or all of the time, and some will say it's just coincidence, but if you ask me, it happens way too often to just be mere coincidence if you ask me all of the time.

I was watching/listening to a program/sermon and at the time they were talking about the woman who told Jesus “surely the dogs eat from the crumbs falling from the masters table” and was talking about how would you like to be called a dog, etc. And I started thinking about in my mind right when that was being said, about what I just wrote about a little while ago (My mental health issues Part #2) and how I was going to tell my counselor about identifying with dogs or a dog when she was talking about them the last time to just give her a specific example, so when those two things coincided, right then, outside my windows on the street outside and right at that very moment in time, a dog started going off or barking loudly for a little while outside, as if the previous two, the coinciding of what I was listening/paying attention to, and the thoughts that were going on in my mind at the time, was being manifested, or was also causing something else to be happening from a different source on the outside. Most will say coincidence, and I would understand that, but if I could remember all of the specific number of times that this happens with me (cause it's often, or a lot a lot of the time) then you might think it has to be more than mere coincidence also. It made me jump on the inside a little bit when it happened, or when it does happen all of time, and if it's not my own mind doing it or making it happen, then it's something else doing it or making it happen, as if to let me know that it knows, and has access to all of it, and can cause all of it to coincide, or is maybe knocking on the doorways of my mind sometimes.

Another thing that happens is when I talk back to what I'm listening to a lot, words will also coincide a lot of the time, so that we say some of the exact same words, at the exact same time. I usually ignore it to finish saying what I am wanting to say though most of the time, but it happens a lot, or a lot of the time. But as to the former example mentioned earlier, about the dog or dogs or whatever, that always happens to me a lot of the time, what I'm paying attention to and the thoughts that come up in my mind about it at the time, when those two coincide, so will something else on the outside a lot of the time, and it can trigger me sometimes.

I'm not looking for attention, but am actively aware that posting these kinds of things can attract it sometimes though, but it's not why I'm telling you this, as I like to be not paid attention to most of time. I'm mainly doing it to see if there are any others out there that are like me, or are having the same kinds of things going on or happening to them as me, and if they are handling it better or worse than me, and if it's better than me, then what is their secret really? But beyond that, or except for drawing those kinds of people, I prefer not to be paid attention to most of the time.

God Bless.

Charlie Kirk on Mary

Keep reading. He literally obeyed her. And the term woman was a sign of respect.
But what order did Mary give Him that He obeyed? She just told Him what the situation was. She didn't say, "You perform a miracle and provide them with wine." I do agree that "woman" was a term of respect,
