Arguing that there's no, "rapture" simply because The Bible doesn't use that term verbatim is incredibly obtuse for the sake of being obtuse.
The Bible repeatedly refers to The Church being taken up in, "the great snatch" - from the greek word of harpazo. This verse is one of the most frequently referred to in reference to The Rapture.
Claiming that there's no event such as The Rapture, or claiming that The Church is never raptured at all is downright showing a total ignorance of The Bible.
I'd love to hear what you think Revelations, as well as a very significant part of OT prophecy (such as Daniel) and New Testament Gospels are about if not referencing Tribulation and Rapture.
Buying things does not indicate that a business is necessarily doing well, especially at the scale of a company like UPS.
he might as well be 4-6%
I hate to break it to you, but that group is a heck of a lot larger than 4-6%. of the population.
For starters, you're just blatantly ignoring science with your, "nope it's not" remark.
But regardless, if you're doing a lot of physical exercise, then your ability to eat carbohydrates and remain in a state of ketosis (or going in and out of ketosis) is increased. Glucose can be stored in muscle throughout your body, and is depleted especially during anaerobic exercises such as weight lifting.
At a bare minimum, you're going in and out of ketosis if you're on something such as an Atkins or Paleo diet. If you're very active, it's likely that you're very frequently in a state of ketosis.
Oh, and the notion that you need to be eating carbs to, "sustain your weight lifting regimen" is ill founded - your body can make all the glucose it wants through Gluconeogenesis.
If you care to better educate yourself on the topic, here are some excellent resources which break down actual science and studies related to the matter:

I've done keto, and I've done the restricted diets of paleo, and Adkins. To get into ketosis and stay there is very difficult.
That's not even remotely true. It's simply the state of your body using fat for energy (ketone bodies) as opposed to glucose. That happens whenever you limit carbohydrate intakes.
The other two diets don't even try to take you that far. You are still burning glucose, and your blood sugar will flucuate with how well you have limited your intake of the wrong foods.
Sure, but they are both fairly low carb diets. An atkins diet is explicitly such, as you're almost exclusively eating meat. Atkins diets will always result in a state of ketosis, and most applications of paleo limit carbs where you will be in and out of ketosis depending on exactly what you choose to eat.
I don't believe you ever actually get into ketosis on those diets.
I don't believe you understand what ketosis actually is. You should really check these resources out - they break down studies and actual science on the topics we're discussing:

and a meat based diet like Adkins or paleo can reduce body weight and reverse type II diabetes.
This is more due to the state of Ketosis which is present in those diets, than it is inherently to those diets themselves.
Nothing wrong with an Atkins/Paleo diet, but you're attributing the benefits of Ketosis to those diets instead of the direct attribute of Ketosis.
You are washed and made whole... with repentance and a desire to do better, and by genuinely accepting Christ. You cannot accept Christ and refuse to repent from your sin.

The Bible speaks several times about a refusal to move away from sin. Condoning any sin in your life and acting as if it is okay is a fundamentally flawed understanding of God's Word.
Gee, maybe that's a problem.
Did you even read my comment?
Holding someone accountable for their sins, judging their behavior and refusal to repent from sin, is in no way a sin.
The fact that you imply otherwise shows a grave lack of understanding of God's Word and his teachings.
There's a marked difference between a practicing homosexual characterized by indulging in and pursuing their same-sex lusts, and a same-sex oriented individual who is actively and consciously attempting to keep their desires in check. Just like for the heterosexual. The fact that one is more biologically aberrant than the other does not make a difference as to the biblical standards of sexual purity.
One is an abomination before The Lord, the other act was designed by God.
But of course, any public "criticism" of the practicing homosexual needs to be seriously toned down and marked by genuine humility and non-judgmentalism,
No. Sin is sin. The Church has absolutely no place to embrace sin, but rather to call it out and reject it. You have a fundamental problem if you are arguing to ignore sin in people's lives and accept it.
since the overall human condition is nowhere admirable, especially with regards to every kind of selfish ambitions and sexual immoralities vs the one-man-one-woman bonded in self-giving love standard from the beginning. Need proof? Just look at the heterosexual divorce rates within the professing Christian demographics. Not looking good.
Man's imperfections do not reflect on God's plan nor His Will for us. That's such biblically horrible statement.
Homosexuality is mentioned about five times in the Bible.
Definitely more than 5, and very few things are talked about as negatively as, "an abomination."
But most people don't care much about adultery.
Simply because others are hypocritical doesn't justify it in God's view.
There is a list of sins that people practice that keep them out of Heaven,
The only sin that keeps you out of heaven is rejecting Christ.
That being said, homosexuality is regarded al throughout The Bible as an abomination, and it is objectively a sin.
There is a HUGE difference for asking forgiveness from a sin, and trying to justify a sin and refusing to repent or fix your ways.
Almost enough to make me want to put fluoride in my mouth
What a ridiculous argument. The risk vs reward of covering their ass vs not covering their ass is a total no brainer.
Anyone expecting hard digital evidence found from a hostile takeover is simply naive.
I don't understand why you people expect them to have left blatant evidence behind. They're sure as hell not going to cooperate with a hostile takeover like this either.
That's not how that works lmao.
They can use throwaway numbers and stuff, but even that is fairly easy to track down to a person if law enforcement bothered at all.
A ranked system is incredibly easy to understand, and again, they're already rigging it and fully getting away with it, so what is the argued benefit?
What? No one is forcing anyone to mark more than one candidate on their ballots. You're showing a fundamental lack of understanding of what ranked voting systems are.
If your first choice loses and is marked out, then you have the opportunity to mark a second candidate that you would like your vote to go towards instead. It encourages people to vote for who they think is the best candidate without the fear of, "throwing away their vote on someone who won't win anyways."
If your argument is that it makes cheating easier, I don't follow your logic at all.
If they're already cheating now, what disadvantage is there to using a system which allows people to vote for the better candidates without the added disadvantage of, "throwing their vote away?"
I wont respond to you now for the better of the community.
So now you're a blatant liar, too.
okay once again, i wasnt trying to present a position so how could i fail at doing it? I was making an observation.
Still trying to go with the coy act, huh?
You're a special breed, apparently.
LMAO, your failure to present a position is my fault now?
Go ahead and admit you're a liberal, please. You clearly have their mindset. The mental gymnastics in play from you are exactly what I'd expect at a Bernie rally.
#1Whats my idea? I posted a picture. thats all i did. what evidence of what?
You're really just going to play coy? Do you think that's helpful for this community? Do you think anyone else is dumb enough to believe you?
#2 Who are you to assume that i havent discussed and posted about this topic ad nauseum for the past year+ and now i feel like having some fun with it because it is so plainly obvious and hilarious.
I fail to see how this would change a thing. What's your point?
I'm having fun, you need a chill pill.
No, you're making the rest of us look as stupid as you when you peddle things without any evidence. Now fuck off.
You try to find pics of biden in short sleeves.
Why? It's your idea. Why do you think it's unreasonable to find actual evidence instead of half assing things?
I have things to do.
Clearly, that's why you're refusing to have a conversation and are instead posting memes like you're about 50 years old.
Not to mention it's a highly televised event - likely the largest that guard is going to be in the spotlight of the world. Some people are just nervous in those situations - and lock kneed falling happens in most militaries on a fairly regular basis.
Am I saying it's not vax related? No. Do we have any good reason to believe it must be vax related? Hell no. There's no shortage of plausible explanations for this.
