We are modifying 1000s of years of culture, common sense, law, and the security and well-being of women to placate mentally ill people that want to play dress up (and worse). Even scarier, to push this agenda to happen, we are destroying free-speech and moving toward destroying people's lives over making internet comments just like this one.
Is there any other source for this? You cannot tell from the video that's the reason he's doing what he's doing. You can't tell the old man is a doctor. Plus this is an edited version already. Just saying, don't trust every story you hear.
I agree church history is important, you should look into the Papacy, start with Pope Sergius III and the Theophylacti. They don't call it the Pornocracy for nothing.
I think that's about enough whataboutisms though, don't you?
You tell me why they cut out the end of Mark. they believe it's unreliable and a later addition from the original author. They don't think it belongs.
My belief that the Bible is complete and inerrant are based on faith and I believe the history of the byzantine text type is evidence of this fact. The Greeks and Masoretes preserved the best texts and nothing was lost or altered in way in which meaning was lost.
Although the mainstream English translations are all very close to one another and all sufficient to convert the lost and edify the believer, I would only mention that the KJV is the only English translation (other than Geneva Bible) that is based on the Byzantine text type (which are the Bible texts preserved by Greek speakers). All other English translations are based on the critical text which is primarily based on two manuscripts more recently found which are older than all Byzantine texts. The critical text is a scholarly undertaking compiled by non-Christians. They basically say those two older texts are best because they are old. Even though they were basically shelved, or thrown away and forgotten.
The place this is most notable in critical text translations (ESV, NIV, etc.) Is they leave out the end of Mark and the John Comma, among many other verses. Except they don't actually leave them out, they put asterisks on them and tell you they don't belong in the Bible in a footnote.
Personally I like NKJV. I think the Byzantine text type is better and less polluted by non-Christians and NKJV is easier to read.
Read someone smarter than yourself:
“It is a proper and excellent thing for infinite glory to shine forth; and for the same reason, it is proper that the shining forth of God’s glory should be complete; that is, that all parts of his glory should shine forth, that every beauty should be proportionably effulgent, that the beholder may have a proper notion of God. It is not proper that one glory should be exceedingly manifested and another not at all, for then the effulgence would not answer the reality.”
“Thus it is necessary that God’s awful majesty, his authority and dreadful greatness, justice, and holiness, should be manifested. But this could not be, unless sin and punishment had been decreed; so that the shining forth of God’s glory would be very imperfect, both because these parts of divine glory would not shine forth as the others do, and also the glory of his goodness, love, and holiness would be faint without them; nay, they could scarcely shine forth at all.”
If it were not right that God should decree and permit and punish sin, there could be no manifestation of God’s justice in hatred of sin or in punishing it, . . . or in showing any preference, in his providence, of godliness before it. There would be no manifestation of God’s grace or true goodness, if there was no sin to be pardoned, no misery to be saved from. No matter how much happiness he might bestow, his goodness would not be nearly as highly prized and admired. . . . and the sense of his goodness heightened.
So evil is necessary if the glory of God is to be perfectly and completely displayed. It is also necessary for the highest happiness of humanity, because our happiness consists in the knowledge of God, and the sense of his love. And if the knowledge of God is imperfect (because of a disproportionate display of his attributes), the happiness of the creature must be proportionably imperfect.”
Jonathan Edwards
Not that they don't have a hand in it (and everyone is different), but I can't blame women for their promiscuity, I blame their fathers. Fathers that didn't protect their daughters, put the fear of God in them, or instill in them knowledge of how dark in sin the world is and how easy it is for them to give into those temptations.
Because every possible alternative to "the plan" that could effect real change is a crime. We know the system is rigged. We know the deep state is a real thing, whether it has a head or not and it does not have our best interests in mind. So it's either have some hope in this "Q" thing and all the strange coincidences that have been noted, keep looking for clues and make it to the next day... or ... what...? Armed revolution? You want to attempt to get a group of people together protest? What's that going to accomplish? You want to get a group of people together to commit crimes against the government? Good luck not ending up with half of them being Feds.
At this point, I'll keep reading Greatawakening, and looking for some hopium, and in the meanwhile look for a catalyst that could start something like an armed revolution... like a monetary collapse, food shortages, fuel runs out, electricity fails, etc.
This country is looking more and more like Atlas Shrugged. For all I know we are a year away from some kind of catastrophic collapse. It's heading downhill fast.
That article never uses the word "value" or "worth" once. There are exactly zero people who attribute "everyone is created equal" with the idea that we are equal in biology, intelligence, personality, proclivities, etc. No one things we are equal in upbringing (unless you're siblings).
The equality of human beings is related to value or worth, not their individual characteristics.
I understand what you are saying, but it very much confirms the point I'm making. Optics can not supersede the safety of our children. If your primary argument against visibly armed guards is it looks bad... I'm inclined to say, "get over it" as a counter argument.
You've been to places with armed guards, but have you lived there? How fast do you think you get used to seeing it, and it becomes background noise?
I visited the Philippines in 2004 and remember being concerned that they had armed guards at every large public gathering place like the mall, with shotguns or rifles. The schools also all had 10 foot masonry walls with metal gates and armed guards. I thought these things were a sign that their country was dangerous, which of course it is, and so is America. They are all dangerous because they all have people in them and people have unlimited potential for evil.
We need to get over the stigma that America isn't a dangerous place and forget the fantasy that there wasn't evil in the "good old days", and we want it like that again. I'm unsure if arming teachers is the right thing, but I'm positive that trained armed guards with long rifles should be at our schools. We need to become comfortable seeing men with guns at the doors of every establishment ready to protect us.
I think as a white male I can agree with that statement. The slave trade started as blacks selling blacks to foreigners. But to justify slavery before Christians in America, race was more or less invented to justify the subordinated class. At first there were plenty of white slaves in America, but that was quickly put down. It's really unfortunate that the Churches couldn't stand up against theological tricks to justify the slave trade. It hurt a lot of churches. There was (and still is) a lot of cherry picking Bible verses to justify that kind of chattel slavery.
I think if I could change that statement, I would call them a group of bigots instead of "white people". Also the message isn't really appropriate for the age group it looks like it's aimed at... but I can't exactly tell.
After watching it I want to get some confirmation. So COVID-19 virus was developed using snake venom (and is contracted in the water supply), the vaccines were developed using snake venom, and remdesivir is snake venom.
Or is there no virus at all?
There was a controversy about Pikachu wearing a hat where the lightning bolts looked like Nazi, SS symbol. I always thought his tail looked like the Nazi SS.
