The Whore of Babylon
Hosea 2:1 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
Say to them "the Lord's people" and "have obtained mercy". In other words, preach the gospel of forgiveness of sins and salvation from the world. This is a direct contradiction to Hyper Calvinists...
Christmas is the perfect illustration
Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
No one denies that there is no truth, rather they accuse...
Agenda 2030
During Hanukkah with Antiochus Ephiphanes the Greek ruler passed laws that made it illegal to practice Judaism according to the Torah. This is what Agenda 2030 and Cop28 is leading to.
We all thought that "he confirms the covenant with the many for one week" was a reference to a...
Jesus expounds the feast of Hanukkah
Luke 21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
The...
The appointed Feast days of the New Testament
There are only four that I know of. But first let's review the big ones from the OT.
1. Passover -- Passover was fulfilled by Jesus and we had nothing to do with that. Also, it doesn't fit with my understanding of the rapture being of only a few...
False Prophets
13 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. 14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.
We have a "broad way...
No, I did not. Once again you put words into people's mouths that they never said. When I was younger I took a course on Transcendental meditation and was taught to meditate by chanting the word they gave us. I was told this was purely for health and not religious. They lied to me. I was...
My point is you twist others words to say what you want them to say, so how do you like these apples. When you said he was "done" and "evicted" I took that to mean he is not coming back. Hard to believe you would evict someone from an apartment and then four years later let them rent it again...
Seall the book till the time of the End
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the...
No, I'm not joking. According to Amnesty international Saudi Arabia, our ally, is far worse than Iraq was. By Mideast standards having a few despotic kids is better than most. You should educate yourself, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are far worse than Saddam Hussein was. Also we financed him to...
3d printers are great at cheap stuff like sneakers, or stuff made of plastic. However, automation, robots, and AI will continue to get better till it can replace all jobs.
Why do we celebrate Christmas?
Level 1 Understanding
When I was younger I thought we celebrated Christmas because we were remembering Jesus birth in a manger. The Bible says to the pure all things are pure. So it is certainly plausible that there are those whose worship of Jesus at Christmas...
Automation has taken most agricultural jobs. It used to be farmers had ten acres and a mule. Then 100 acres and a tractor. Now you can handle 1,000 acres with a combine. Plowing used to be a very hard and skilled job. Now with GPS you hardly even need a driver. But 1 man today can do what...
Yes and self righteous is self righteous. We bombed Iraq under the propaganda that they were terrible human rights violations. Yet if you looked at independent rating agencies they were one of the best countries in the Middle East when it came to human rights. It seemed all our allies were...
Don't be so vague. Making imports more expensive is the solution. If making imports cheaper is what destroyed our economy and put us into debt then making imports more expensive is a logical path to self sufficiency.
I am a scientist. I graduated from a top 10 university and then got a Master's, at Univ. of Texas I got 75 post graduate hours. I taught science for many years.
I understand the history and this thought that scientists are somehow more noble or more honest than lawyers or car salesmen is...
