We've been set back far more than that. Consider the dark ages and potential evidence that the Black Death was allowed to spread by certain policies such as the killing of cats and I believe ending ship quarantine policies.
The destruction of the library of Alexandria. The destruction of knowledge and sciences maintained by the South American empires. Constant revisionism introduce and promote things based on ancient cultic practices like transgenderism that existed in Baal worship, multiple avenues to try to make the Bible seem inconsistent and contradictory even while the alternatives are constantly revised like the big bang and evolutionary theories (for the purpose of making people think there is no true moral authority in the world except themselves to make the transhumanism push possible by devaluing humans from a creation of God to blobs of randomly shaped flesh), relaunching the Crusades even after peace had been somewhat established (with a victory if I recall correctly), two World Wars, the Cold War, many other wars, continual assassination of figures positioned to bring about positive societal change on a large scale, the dumbing down of school systems (as evidenced by the fact that basic tests used a hundred years ago have more advanced concepts on them than their modern equivalents), revisionism of history to inspire and foster racism, destruction of the black family, abortion robbing us of countless individuals who could have brought untold innovation, suppression of technology ranging from more advanced engines to medical treatments, forcing inferior green energy onto the west that is unable to meet the demands of a modern society even without the added demand of electric vehicles, and so many more things.
Oh yes. And the inquisition.
I wouldn't call it tenuous when Matthew Maury, the founder of oceanography credited the Bible as his direct inspiration for launching his study of the ocean. It is, or at least was, on a plaque outside a building that he did research in or taught in, can't recall perfectly.
Yes, I am aware of the source but consider the censorship war we're in. You often won't find much information in the middle ground when one side tries to bury it to protect their satanic view and the other are those researching what is said in the Bible and defending it's validity. It is a war or spiritual powers and principalities, as Q says.
Read through what I said again and consider the parts I mentioned about science. There are so many more things that the authors writing at the time would never have been able to tell unless directed by the Holy Spirit to write them. For example, God asks if Job can loose the bonds of the Pleiades or the belt of Orion. Both of those are, and are the only two known examples in existence that I'm aware of, constellations that are gravitationally linked. How is it that the one who recorded the book could have known that? The same goes for the foundains of the deep.
Going into other science, the Law of Entropy doesn't exclude biological processes just because it's convenient for the theory of evolution. In the process that would be required for the random formation of cells from nothing, water is a byproduct as demonstrated in laboratory experiments. Interestingly enough, the product, at that stage, is water soluable and would be immediately be undone without a protective cellular membrane that could only develop in an entirely different process.
Going further, if the big bang did occur, the distribution of mass within the solar system wouldn't be possible with the planets made of lighter gasses being further out than the core solid worlds like Earth. Beyond that, theories can't account for the force of rotation within creation and how one of the gas giants spins in the opposite direction from everything else. The current theory of how the moon formed is equally ridiculous and has changed at least five times over the years, each without any true evidence beyond hypothetical. Speaking of which, the lunar dust layer on the moon forms at a constant and measurable rate. If the moon were in fact millions of years old, the lander would have been buried in it when it landed.
Also, if the world and universe were billions or millions of years old, our sun would be in a later stage of life. As such, it exhibits the traits of a young star with much more fuel left unburned.
Another fun fact is that soft tissue is routinely discovered in the fossilized remains of dinosaurs. If they were millions of years old, that wouldn't be the case. They would only be that way if they were a matter of thousands of years old, consistent with the description of them being described as coexisting with man in the Bible as well as in ancient accounts from places like Egypt that describe flying lizards that lived in marshes that existed at the time (yes, backed up by geological evidence when the climate of the region was different). Though, as dinosaur is a relatively new term, I should point to the original word used to describe such creatures. Dragons.
All this and more points to one fact. That the Law of Entropy was not violated either by biological processes OR stellar forces. More advanced things cannot, and never have, come from less complex things. For things to become more complex or ordered both energy and instruction must be inserted into the equation from an outside source.
For example, when dogs were bred, it was discovered that genetic data was lost whenever a new breed is achieved. A short-legged dog isn't short-legged because new genetics were introduced. It's because the genes for long legs are broken and can no longer be expressed.
Scripture is cited frequently on the Q boards. Q themselves, as posting was done by more than one person, described what is going on as a war between God and Satan. By Q, the Bible is treated as the immutable word of God, therefore it is fully within what is permissible on the board as defined by the very purpose of this board.
Secondly, to say that the Bible is false and has nothing to do with how the world should run is due to the effort of the Cabal. For example, the Rothschilds funded the expedition of Darwin.
The founders of modern science and mathematics did so, and were able to come to such groundbreaking discoveries because they operated on the fundamental belief that the universe was created by God who made consistent laws that govern how the universe functions. These constants allowed them to accurately predict things decades and centuries before science caught up to the math based solely on the on the assumed fact that things must be such a way because God made order in the universe.
One of the greatest examples of this is the science of oceanography. The sole reason the field of science exists is because one man was intrigued by two verses in the Bible that mentioned currents within the ocean. He was intrigued and dedicated his life to investigating these two verses. He joined the navy, used the resources he gained, and found the currents within the ocean. One of these verses is in Job, one of the oldest books in the entire Bible.
Many other such things are hidden in the Bible like verses about the "fountains of the deep" being opened during the great flood. Recent studies have found deep ocean fresh water springs. Through the discovery of ringwoodite, a rock that stores water, it has been discovered that our entire hydrological cycle may be wrong because water may be forced up out of fountains of the deep, both on land and in the ocean, and that the Earth has much larger reserves of fresh water than previously thought.
I could go on, but if you really want to dig into the staggering amount of places where the Bible shares things regarding how the universe functions thousands of years before established science could ever touch on it, I suggest you listen to this study series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdykALJ1hkY&list=PLRj8AJuzeJRwl4i9Wxk-ocUai1DqCWkb0
I'm involved with an endeavor that uses AI and I've learned a bit about how it functions. I think the analogy that it is like a glorified search engine is close to the truth. It uses a complex series of algorithms to piece answers together according to what information that it has access to. It's similar to the algorithms that provide suggestions for the next word as you type a text message, only it applies filters in an attempt to keep the message coherent without being guided by the human user in anything but the prompt.
I've been told that there have been some moments though that, while in testing, it has exhibited interesting problem solving capabilities with out of the box solutions. I won't say that it's anything beyond pieces together information in unexpected ways with algorithms based on the physical properties of the items involved, which was a task to devise a way to stack a variety of objects like eggs, a book, pins, and something else.
Either way, I think the greater issue is what the AI are trained on. If it is trained by evil people who see people as cattle or worthless, the AI will frame answers shaped by algorithms that support that viewpoint. However, if AI was trained on the Bible, true scientific principles, and the underlying foundation that God is the supreme authority in the universe and he has given humans exclusive stewardship over the Earth, things would be different.
In the latter, AI would be in the role of humanities assistant, working to empower humans to be better stewards of the world placed in their charge. It would also be quick to help draw attention to plots to undermine that purpose.
Not given the context of the post. The post says that NONE of those things are possible in a cashless society. I also mentioned that there is a fee, which at 2.5% is very easy for vendors to absorb, especially as they typically factor it into their sale prices to begin with. Most retailers, restaurants, etc do this as well, though some do offer discounts if you pay in cash.
Fee aside, using cards for personal transactions is possible with card readers and apps you can download. While you may prefer cash, many people prefer cards as they have a recourse to get their money back if they were cheated by someone that refuses to remedy a situation.
Again, the posters says NO, yet those personal transactions and tips ARE possible without cash. That's all I'm saying.
Some of those are incorrect. It's easy enough to use a personal card reader to take cards at garage sales, trade shows, flea markets and such now. They're not hard or expensive to get. You can basically get a free one from Square and just get charged a small percent for each purchase.
Tipping is practically a built in feature now for card purchases. I think I've heard that some places prefer tips included with card purchases as they're easier to track and divide up.
I would say that the rest are still valid.
There's a lot of issues about Lincoln and, historically speaking, I would rank him far from the second best. From what I recall of history, he probably was in on the whole plot that incited the southern states to secede in the first place. Also, the emancipation proclamation did nothing because the southern states, the Confederacy, as it was a recognized and independent nation. Interestingly, the proclamation specifically only 'freed' slaves in the states that were in 'rebellion' against the federal government. It said nothing about northern states or slaves within them.
I will at least given him credit for one thing. He wanted to buck the plan and make way for the states to rejoin the US with minimal difficulty and some other things that the cabal didn't want. He was assassinated shortly after.
Not always the best at it, but I do try to stay hydrated.
I've lived with the issue of overly thick phlegm most of my life, but after being in environments with mold and absurd amounts of aerial spraying (as well as stress), my lungs took a bit of a hit and it has gotten worse.
I've just ordered some colloidal silver and some nasal spray bottles so I can hopefully cut down on the inflammation and encourage natural healing.
How often do you take ivermectin and have you found an inexpensive source for the regular pills?
Being able to take the human type medicine would be preferred if it's not too expensive, though I have taken the horse paste quite a few times in the past. I'm just not fond of the flavor ... But then again, who is besides horses?
Do you know if NAC can help thin mucus? Besides the amount, my problem has been the thick consistency of it. Instead of it being thin like the consistency of oil, it's more akin to goop of some kind. I take generic muscinex, and it helps, but not enough.
The problem seems to be seasonal and connected with certain allergens like ragweed and mold and tends to spike after a front blows in.
Got a quick medical question.
Anyone else here suffer from thick mucus building up in your lungs? If so, what supplements have you found that takes care of it.
It's gotten so thick in my lungs before that felt like I was choking and it's currently making it hard to even draw a full breath a lot of the time.
It's not the only time I've had vivid dreams and my wife has had them on occasion.
One featured a large parking lot. If memory serves, the middle was empty while areas named "far left" and "far right" were crowded. It seems particularly fitting after reading Ecclesiastes 10:2-3
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Even as fools walk along the road, they lack sense and show everyone how stupid they are.
One that stands out about my wife was her watching a general or commander in a command center as they monitored things. In one scene, large storms were coming in and the general dismissed everyone to go home so that they might find shelter.
Absolutely. Jesus is the only way to salvation. What I found particularly interesting is the interpretation of the scripture and how right and left are used in the context. With that in mind, I don't think there's any coincidence that Leftism refers to ideologies like socialism and supposed equality. Things that are foolish and fail every time.
Just did some research on it and found the potential origin of the political terms left and right. It apparently came from the French during their revolutions periods.
https://www.history.com/news/how-did-the-political-labels-left-wing-and-right-wing-originate
I think it's appropriate how it turned out and that the seating assignments weren't reversed or could the right be liberal and the left be conservative? ...Though I get the impression there might have been no coincidence so that the Biblical passage would be so appropriate.
That's fine. I ran a forum for a time so I can understand how standards can vary from time to time, though under that definition, I think what I want to post should qualify for the general forum as there's some unexpected political insight in it.
Thanks for the feedback.
I do have one quick question about the appropriate place for something else. I assume a scriptural insight that most here, including myself until yesterday, would be fine in the general forum as there's been plenty Bible verses posted there without moderator requests for relocating?
An odd dream about the war in Ukraine and peace
In the dream I was standing around near a chain-link fence situated along a border, which I believe was the one between Ukraine and Russia, along with a number of other people from different nations. I remember looking at it and saying something akin to, "They won't mind, it's pretty much already theirs."
I then started moving the position of the chain link fence to a different border and soon was joined by some other people, one of them had a turban and seemed to be the stereotypical depiction of old timey high-class Indians (the country). We were working on shifting the fence over, one panel at a time, when I decided I should go let 'them' know what we were doing and walked off.
I came to a commissary of some kind along the way and ended up with a zip-lock back full of ketchup somehow (don't ask. I have no idea) and I carried it in my hand at my side as I walked up to some soldiers.
They exercised the precautions you might expect of soldiers in a war zone and demanded that I stand in front of the tank at a safe distance to talk as soldiers on foot watched. I told them something to the effect, "I thought I should tell you what we're doing over there," as I looked and gestured back to where the fence at the border was being moved.
When I looked back, the tank was gone and I began walking back. Along the way, I noticed that the bag of ketchup was leaking and it had gotten down my left side. I shrugged and made it to a hallway somewhere and more ketchup was smeared on the floor and I think gobs of it were on the wall.
It didn't occur to me that the ketchup could have been a stand-in for blood until some time after I woke and had begun to process it. Not sure what to think about it and if there's meaning to it. I've had dreams before that seemed to have spiritual messages before, such as one where I saw a large empty parking lot with two signs, one saying "Far Right" and the other "Far Left." In that dream people were grouped to both sides but none were in the middle. No fence sitters and that may be a sign of where we are or how things will become in the future.
This one? Maybe something like that the blood of those bringing piece may be shed?
Before I was asked to migrate this topic to daily chat by a mod, someone noted that the ketchup being used might indicate that it isn't real blood being shed. That made me consider the familiar statement that "we are watching a movie." I think that may be applicable here, though that isn't to say that real blood hasn't been shed in the Ukrainian war. It just might imply that there could be some showmanship in the aftermath to drive home a point.
Unless I remember incorrectly, Julie Green once made a prophecy that Charles would never be king and that Big Ben would be destroyed as a sign of this.
He was made king and Big Ben is still there, undamaged. I think there's been a few other instances, but I would avoid listening to her. One can never be sure of the spirits that are whispering to someone claiming to be a prophet ... Whether they are a good person that's being misled, which I think she could be, or a wolf in sheep's clothing out to lead the flock astray.
God cannot lie and he is never wrong, so if someone is truly only receiving revelations from him, what they say will come to pass without fail.
There's also the news that John Kerry is stepping from his position as climate envoy. The post for that is currently stickied.
Anyone else have some good booms for today?
