Politics & Current Affairs / Re: President Trump
« Last post by Sassy on June 15, 2025, 12:48:38 AM »

We can all take aways take away with us that, Trump is going to scare as many Countries as possible into thinking he taking no prisoners.
He will react to any threats and he will strike his enemies where it hurts if they do not toe the line.  (USUALLY THE POCKET) in dire cases the rocket.

How does a stupid man become president? He doesn't he could not be president if stupid. People fed up of seeing their own kind go into the streets as homeless and no one to turn to.
I guess God is getting that way too, where people who have jobs and Homes look down on those who don't. Gods not dead and no one has the right to think they have all they have because of the working or not. People have what they have because God gave us crops and all things made are from what he created and sourced.

Let us face it, if a famine came then just who would survive and what worth would money be to us?

One of the richest men in the world playing president. Sick and tired of excuses and bottom lickers  has now decided to pull people with brown noses from their stuck position.

We cannot do anything about this, our country building their arsenal up to  maintain our protection from others.

What needs to happen is peace and for people to realise weapons won't feed others.

What do you think about not being able to take wealth or homse with you when you die?

There you go again - unable to contemplate that time might not be constant and unilinear. The very notion of 'forever' is predicated on the notion of constant and unilinear time. If time isn't like that (as most credible theories of physics suggest) then the whole concept of 'forever' is for the birds.

Forever has been yet. If something never ends does that mean it goes on forever. If everything and everyone dies, is there a conscious forever?
where does time go when you sleep? How did time start? When we learn about something for the first time do we accept it, and then as we get older doubt it?
God never changes for believers in that he the same loving and knowing Father always.

Eternal, a concept like 'forever' but in our world we never have that, do we. Because our existence here is limited and we never know the end.

I would like to believe you will find God, in your own way, time and space. I hope we all live eternally in paradise in the presence of God..... :D

Sassy,

No. If you want to claim something to be prophetic than that claim must pass certain basic tests. “A great city will fall” for example cannot be a prophecy because it lacks specificity (many cities have failed), non-inevitability (thus, “it will get dark at night time” isn’t a prophecy either), a time line (pretty much anything will happen if you wait long enough for it to happen) etc.

Show me where in the OT or the NT it says, “And Lo in the early 21st century a company named after a fruit will invent a portable communication device and it shall be called an iphone” or similar and then we can have a reality-based conversation about supposed prophecies.       

You do not have authority or knowledge to sustain what you are writing. You cannot decide what passes as a prophecy and what doesn't. We have terrorist in the world who carry out their threats
so what is that? Prophecy telling something before they do it? Truth is that God has warnings in the bible.

While there have been claims of finding evidence like solidified footprints and chariot remains on the Red Sea floor, suggesting the biblical Red Sea crossing by the Israelites, these claims are not universally accepted and are often disputed by archaeologists and scientists. The "footprints" are not definitively identified as human or of any specific origin, and the "fossilized" nature of the remains is debated.


So did the waters part and then close on the chariots and Egyptians as told in the bible.  Do you know the Egyptians never wrote about battles they lost they wiped failures out of history.
I have studied many things over the years and read up on the accounts of how others lived,

The Possible Palace, Tomb and Statue of Joseph
One last stunning piece of evidence for Joseph exists, and that brings us back to his burial in Goshen, and his bones that were removed by Moses at the time of the Exodus. In this same area in Goshen, where a large contingent of Semites lived, a great palace has been discovered, with a garden and a tomb, curious in its combination of Egyptian and Semitic styles. Rohl and his colleagues believe the palace is that of Joseph, perhaps his retirement villa after many years of service to Pharaoh. It has two apartments in front, suggesting the living quarters of his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. In the rear are the more spacious living quarters of the prime occupants, perhaps Joseph and his Egyptian wife.

Adjacent to the ruins of the palace, there is an elegant garden area, and in the garden was an unusual tomb. The tomb was in the shape of a small pyramid, but it is clear that the vault was broken into and the remains removed. However, the damage to the tomb was not like that done by the all too common grave robbers of Egypt. It appears to be a careful and methodical removal of bricks from the tomb, as one would expect where the bones of Joseph were carefully removed from his long-used grave by Moses. Could it be that we have here the very tomb of the great patriarch Joseph? The evidence certainly takes it out of the realm of mythology, even for the hardened scientist, and into the realm of accurate history.

One thing is for sure.... If, Jesus and Joseph never existed or if he didn't do all he did, why is it spread all over the world now over 2,000 years later?
Who in history is more talked about than Christ and characters who lived the bible?

I do not accept what you say for you have no evidence at all. At least the evidence for the bible is being supported by finds which lets be truthful, men could not walk on the bottom of any sea so deep in the time of the biblical heroes and the Prophets. Can you disprove God? Can you disprove his word the most sold publication ever?

Offer me than opinion...show me you looked and what you present ever is nothing more than trying to prove only what you believe. :D

No. My understanding is based on what the passage says, not what your wishful thinking says.
Nobody is claiming God is a liar. We are talking about a passage in a book written by Isaiah

I trust that the experts who translated it for the NRSV are better at doing those things than people like you.

Test it?

That's right you cannot test it, because you have never studied the bible and NRSV is not the bible the scholars who translated it, did. The King James is the one the Jewish people and our scholars believe to be nearest to the truth. WHY?  Because there was not always a word to match some of the hebrew words. So they wrote something nearest to it and made a mark in the margin to explain.

So do you still believe the " experts" for the NRSV better, the only experts really are the Scholars all 70 of them who made the first translation. I believe the LORD lead me to the KJV for accuracy and all born of the Spirit and Truth where GODS Spirit teaches them.
Ephesians 6:17, the "sword of the Spirit" is identified as the Word of God.  you need to add the Helmet of Salvation too.

What makes the bible real is the presence of God in your life. The reason for the knowledge of Salvation and truth., Without, you will always be at odds with the world and the truth about Christ.

Sassy,

You don't have to read all of the Harry Potter books to gain a "comprehensive understanding" that people don't fly around on broomsticks.

But Harry Potter, wasn't written as Gods Word. In Harry Potter no one arose from the dead.  We know full well who wrote the Harry Potter books. We have seen her and we know nothing
of her books were about anything in this world. That God is a creator with power the bible says he speaks and it is done.
Harry Potter uses a power called Magic. God has his own power.

Hi hope you are well. :D

But, if you want to arrive at an evidence based answer, you have to think of everything (within reason) that could be true and ask what is probable.

Here you are cherry picking whilst ignoring other more important evidence.


I believe some thought, Peter wrote the book of Mark.  The first three books of the New Testament are the Synoptic Gospels.
The pretty much say the same. But the gospel of John gives more details about the words and life of Christ.
The evidence must come from the experience and reasoning that what the bible says is true and that the person in Christ and the New Covenant must be born of Spirit and Truth,
So what is this people who are taught by Gods Spirit not man?

To know the truth of the bible you must have faith and be able to test the truth others speak.

Now people are covering the return of Christ as a man in human flesh. But Christ is resurrected he will never die again so cannot return as human flesh but resurrected redeemed flesh having died in the place of man but having not sinned so death could not hold him, Christ like God without sin. But Christ himself puts himself back under God when all things done.
I wish sometimes you could understand from my side that the LORD has to open your mind and heart to understand.  Christ, will return one day but we are here to show that it is always your choice on whether you learn the truth as it was meant to be received. Only one God and there is one son of God, Christ and there is the Holy Spirit. What happens if you die without first believing?
Just make sure you call out to God and Jesus to save you.......Would love you to be saved.

Christian Topic / Re: Church covered up 'abhorrent' abuse, report finds

Quite incredible

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c89y9g83e92o

What do we want?   I cannot see that reporting this to the police was him covering up anything. What exactly what a QC doing as part of the CofE clergy?
He himself, did all he could by reporting it to the police. If not an abuser, then why did he have to resign if he reported it to the police. Was it the fact as a QC it would make any case her took on for abuse be found unsafe?
Could the police and justice system be at fault here, What the Bishop actually do if the police decided no action should be taken?

The abusers are the only ones at fault here. If the police covered the QC then it is a legal matter and why is no one asking the police and even the legal system?

We have heard so much about abuse but the sickening fact, is people like Cliff Richard, who did nothing at all was falsely accused and no one thought about the mental and physical abuse it caused him. Suffering can be caused to the innocent too. Now it is time to ensure those told who do nothing to report to the police, then action should be taken against them if they knew.,

Sick of all this abuse thing. If you are well liked and rise to the top someone is going to try and drag you down even if, in like Cliffs case, it isn't true.

People, would have believed it. Wonder if you will think and ask yourself, what if you were accused? What would you feel knowing you were innocent.

The world can have evil because of what humans do. But unless we seek truth in these matters it becomes like a witch hunt.  But the witches were not witches, just innocent people accused and found guilty. In their case young women lost their lives. Especially epileptic and people with deformities.

Which wind might that be?

Bob Dylan and the song titles the blowing in the wind. Is it me, or as you get older do you relax more and think of the time we might have left.
All I can say, and without offense, given the Borgias does anyone every believe the Pope anything but a man  with really serious beliefs?
Christ the true intercessor for man and God.

I have a hard time with anything that goes against the teachings of God through Christ and the Prophets,

I do not join a lot of sites these days. I am on a site with Victoria Plum after all these years but hardly go there as I have no PC of my own.
Andrew on my face book and so is Nigel. Would be nice if all back here.

Those of you who have been paying attention will know that following the migration we have lost some posts.

So, I was just wondering, had anyone said here that 'God' had been found, or does the search go on?

Hi Gordon,

When you know the answer to that question you might already have come to know God.
I came here tonight and was met with the above, whilst reading the replies suddenly lead to other posts but found my way back,
It is not the easiest of searches because I believe it starts with the heart and true search wanting to believe.

Now think about yourself. In life you might not want God to be real. Might, not really search so you don't have to accept these facts or not.
Just try to think do you want the truth or do you want to remain ignorant to the possibilities that it could be the worst decision you make?


I am sorry about the trouble you are having with the site. is there anywhere I could made a donation to help you financially after that double payments?
Let me know and I can see what I can do.
Doesn't seem fair you should handle all the cost's.
