I am a Bible believing Christian. A follower of Jesus.

Christians would never ban the Bible. The Bible is God's Holy Word to man.

Sleeping in a garage does not make you a car. Attending a church doesn't make you a Christian. Surrendering your life to obedience to Jesus, in repentance of sin, is what makes you a Christian.

Who killed Jesus? Jewish leaders, filled with envy and hatred toward Jesus, cornered Pilate and forced him to crucify our Messiah Jesus. Pilate declared Jesus innocent and wanted to release him. The Jewish leaders threatened Pilate until he agreed to send him off for execution.

Do Christians blame the Jews for Christ's execution? No. Jesus came as the final passover lamb - a sacrifice for sin. He said that He MUST be handed over to be crucified, AND that He would rise from the dead on the third day. All of the apostles (except John), were executed for their testimony as witnesses to the resurrection. The Jewish leaders were merely doing what Jesus said must happen, but that doesn't make them innocent of the crime.

Today we have fake christians doing all kinds of things that are agaInst what Jesus taught.

Open the Bible for yourself. It's not hard to read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus said that we should love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Just think of what kind of world we would have if people really lived that way.

The first time I saw photos of Moochelle with exposed shoulders, I thought, " Wow! She must be into serious body-building." Then Joan Rivers came along and put it all into perspective. It was a big "why didn't I think of that!!???" moment for me.

Take your racism elsewhere.

Sure there's a large cabal of elites that may be "Jewish". But your words are as evil as they are.

I would say yes. But if you ever think that this is a substitute for Scripture, then no.

Yes, most of what you see in the Chosen is extrabiblical. But any time you listen to a preacher, everything that he says that is not a direct Bible quote, is also extrabiblical.

This is why we need to follow the pattern of the Bereans, who listened to everything that they heard Paul say, and examined the Scriptures daily to see if what he was saying was true.

If you do not have a solid foundation built on God's Word, then you will be blown here and there by the wind. Fill your heart and mind with God's Word, and then fill it some more. Memorize it and let it transform your life -- THEN OBEY, not being hearers only.

Then go see anything you want to and use discernment.

I personally love the Chosen. I've been studying God's Word for 40 years and find that this series has given me some insights and nuances that I did not pick before. Most notably, how the disciples would have struggled with Jesus calling a tax collector (Matthew) into their number, and how there would very likely be residual suspicion and animosity toward one who would have been the most hated among the people.

And the two witnesses lie dead in the street, while the ENTIRE world looks on. How nutty would that sound? The liberals would have called that figurative language. But its literal.

It its pretty cool that the Bible, written 2000 years ago, predicted this very thing. Back then, people would have laughed and scoffed, saying it's just not possible. And they would have been right, that at that time it WAS impossible. But God is not limited to tiny time spans like we are. He operates in millenia of years, not in decades. We look at our tiny little timeslice and than arrogantly judge God. He looks at all time, perhaps all at the same moment, and laughs at us. We need to humble ourselves before His Word and trust what He has said.

Ok flat-earther: Go to the edge of your flat earth and come back with some real photos of what's out there. Until then, the earth is a sphere. You will find no edge.

Prove gravity? Wow. Grab your camera, hop off a tall building then show us that you have disproved gravity. You own the burden of proof.

More flat-earth psy-op foolishness.

Yes, a lot of history has been falsified. Flat earth is idiotic defiance of well established physics. If the earth was a flat disk, it would crumble back into a sphere under the forces of gravity.

Ugh. This morning the computer forced me to go through activation. I was happy that I could use my cell phone to dial in and use the numbers the computer gave me to get an activation code from Microsoft.

Hahaha! I tried running Quickverse on wine. It wouldn't run.

The hardware is an old, but not too old, retired computer snatched from a recycling D container at work. I had to put in a new HDD and memory. Windows 7 Ultimate came off eBay. The windows install was a PITA because the machine has USB 3.0 ports, but Windows 7 has no driver for that. The windows install had to be transferred to a USB memory stick using a utility that works around the installers gripe about the lack of a driver. There's also no driver for the WIFI card, so windows can't connect out. Even though it was a sealed, unused Windows 7 OS, with legit validation number, windows bitches about it being "non-genuine". But it still runs.

We have an off-grid property in NH. This feels a little like that. I could remove the WIFI card, or just disconnect the antennas inside if I got paranoid.

Not the ammo box just yet. But if illegals start running around shooting citizens, or being used to confiscate guns, that's when the ammo box will be needed. And that will be a very very sad time, because it will be pure anarchy at that point.
