Correct. Nothing ever happens without it being God's will. God's plan included Jesus' sacrifice for the redemption of humanity, Jesus, being fully God and fully man, chose to willingly and lovingly participate in that plan. This choice was not a mere act of compelled duty but a profound act of love and obedience. God decided the Pharisees and the Romans would be the "antagonists", but it could have just as easily been any other group of people, had that been His will.
The Pharisees pressured Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, to crucify Jesus, even though Pilate initially found no fault in him, according to the Gospel of Matthew. Pilate's attempts to release Jesus, such as offering the crowd a choice between Jesus and Barabbas, demonstrate his reluctance to condemn him and his awareness of the potential consequences. The argument used by the Jewish leaders to pressure Pilate was that if he did not condemn Jesus, he would be seen as disloyal to Caesar (Emperor Tiberius).
Then Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, โIf you release this man, you are no โfriend of Caesar.โ Anyone who declares himself a king is a rebel against Caesar.โ John 19:12
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. โI am innocent of this manโs blood,โ he said. โIt is your responsibility!โ Matthew 27:24
The Pharisees brought Jesus to Pilate. The Pharisees threatened and pressured Pilate to sentence Jesus to crucifixion. Pilate was morally weak and gave into the demands of the mob seemingly to avoid civil unrest and making enemies with the Pharisees. Pilate is not innocent, but who was it who really orchestrated Jesus' death?
Who issued the order? Who had the real power to decide Jesus' fate?
Maricopa County. Not surprised.
Psychiatrist Dr. Mark Anderson, "Adolescents this age still don't fully know right from wrong."
Bullshit. 10 and 11 year olds know it's wrong to murder someone, that's why 3 of the 4 girls acted remorseful after getting caught. The fourth sounds like an absolute psycho that should be institutionalized because she smiled and laughed.
Mexicans are scared of dogs and gators. It's definitely psychological. Plus, if you zoom in on the pic you can see that there is a fence separating the moat from the prison.
To answer why we still have bases in the ME, isn't it so we don't relinquish the territory to China? If we're not there, won't they just move in? I'm sure China would love access to all that oil. Plus the straits facilitate a great portion of global trade. I wouldn't trust China or Iran to keep those waterways safe. They would probably use them for extortion.
Maybe they had a $440 rebate or something? It is funny to imagine the same two $20 bills being handed right back to the customer.
Lol maybe she meant breadth.
Stop allowing gays to adopt period.
It is easy to criticize your forebearers whilst reaping the benefits of their actions. Yes, war is shit and innocents often are killed. I am not approving of or condoning their actions because the situation was not as black and white as you believe it. If you do a little studying on the war in the Pacific, you will learn why Americans called the Japanese "Dirty Japs." Look into the Rape of Nanjing. It is estimated 20,000-80,000 rapes of female civilians took place, their ages ranging from infants to the elderly. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians were massacred in just that event alone.
Here's a list of several other massacres and war crimes the Japanese perpetrated on civilians, prisoners of war, and their own:

Japanese cannibalizing American POWs:

Japanese believed in death before surrender. On "Death Island" in Saipan, Okinawa and other places, Japs killed off their own families before they could suffer the shame of being captured by Allied forces.
Now, to go back to your initial point. Knowing what we know of their genocidal, suicidal tendencies pre-American occupation, do you believe Japan would NOT have used nukes on us the moment they had the capabilities, regardless if we had retaliatory nuke ability?
Law abiding adults, yes. Do you think every nation in the world shares the US's moral principals?
Yeah giving nukes to everyone seems like a great idea.
Acktually Lindsey was originally a surname. The phenomenon of first name appropriation of last names started to occur during the late 19th century. And in America, Lindsey has been used as a female name more than it has been used as a male name.
He likely wouldn't take offense to that at all.
Lindsey is already a girl's name.
Except others will develop it, it's just a matter of time. Like Skynet in the Terminator movies.
It is our duty to provide it with evidence and teach it.
I agree. But I think Social security and all of these other unfunded liabilities will have to end to end the low birth rate crisis. For instance, in 2060 in South Korea, they project that one elderly person will have to financially supported by one working aged person (15-65 years old). Right now, 3 workers support each elderly person. The tax burden is already high to pay for all of these social welfare programs, especially for the youngest working generation that tends to be in the heaviest debt. It makes starting a family that much more unlikely.
South Korea has the lowest birth rate though. Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan are very low too. This is definitely a first world issue, but unlike the Asian countries, the white countries are replacing themselves with third world immigrants.
This isn't about the human race dying off. Those high birthrates are coming out of Africa and the middle east, where they do blow themselves up pretty routinely. I guess Europe, Japan, South Korea, and USA can just import Africans and middle easterners to replace our dwindling populations. Surely these sub 80 IQ migrants will adopt their new country's culture and assimilate peacefully and respectfully into their new nationalities. If you haven't heard of South Africa's problems, I suggest you look into it. It's a preview of what our countries will turn into when they become overrun with 3rd world immigrants.
The cell phones recording in the front don't even show AOC or the crowd behind her. It looks like they are recording an empty auditorium.
Abuse is abuse. Drug or physical, it's harmful to anyone. If your mother got out of control, would you dad beat her too? If the answer is 'no', then one has to wonder why? Is a child of lesser value than a grown adult? Why is it okay that children have less protections than adults? Is a child not more vulnerable? And unlike an adult, a child has no choice on who they live with. If your child is the most important thing in your life, then why is it acceptable to treat them worse than anyone else?
Many think that corporal punishment is the proper way to teach a child right from wrong, in fact this is a fallacy. Children who are spanked, on average have 5 IQ points lower than those who are not. I'm not saying to omit discipline or repercussions for your child as a parent, but using violence on them should not be lauded.
Conversely, US should take conservative asylum seekers from Canada.
Yes, most of Gagarin's flight was automated, but he could and did take manual control at one point. He was a 1st class military pilot with cosmonaut training. During Gagarin's reentry phase, the equipment module failed to fully separate, causing the spacecraft to spin. His ability to maintain consciousness and stabilize the descent, despite experiencing 8 Gs of force, was attributed to his experience as a fighter pilot. 2 of the 5 women "astronauts" on the Blue Origin spaceflight are actual scientists and although the definition of astronaut is somewhat ambiguous, I would not classify Jeff Bezo's fiancรฉ, a pop singer, and a TV co-host as astronauts. They have no space flight training and could be of no use or help in any aspect of the flight. I think they would be better classified as "Spaceflight Participants".
Well I just asked Grok what a sanctuary city was and it generated a definition and listed key characteristics of these cities, but only used the term "undocumented migrant" instead of "illegal alien". I think Grok prioritizes what it thinks you want to hear, instead of making actual change. It may now always favor the term "illegal alien" going forward when conversing with your account/ip address, but it didn't change how it generally responds to others. I then asked it why it uses the term "undocumented migrant" over "illegal alien" and it responded with BS about negative connotations/tone and how not all undocumented migrants have committed a crime. Uhhh Grok, they entered the country illegally, which in itself is a crime!
