    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    Hebrews 10:11-13 New King James Version Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified 11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    When Christ comes a second time is here in Hebrews 9, we still are waiting for that return. 23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be [j]purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has not...

    NYC $1,000 pigeon poop fine

    Been to NYC twice. Once in the early 70's as a 12 yr old to compete in the North Atlantic Juvenile Men's figure skating competition. Afte which we went to the Easterns, and I bombed badly. I thought it scary back then as a kid. Late night sirens, police action right outside on the streets all...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    luke 21. 20-24 happened in the past. We are in the 'Times of the Gentiles'. Spoken also of in Romans 11 by Paul about Israel's blindness brought on them by God in His judgement against them. 25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise...

    Luke 21:20-22 Are We Close, Jerusalem Encompassed By Armies?

    I agree, it does have a future yet to happen, but it also has a past which has happened in part.

    Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee (D): The moon is "made up mostly of gases" so we can soon live inside it,

    If you look where she was, it was a high school. Wonder what they thought of her. Of course, Biden telling stories of his days when a lifeguard at the public pool about the black children running their hands up his hairy legs surrounding by young people did not phase them a bit either or...

    Israelis React to White House Demands: 'America has Become Israel's Tactical Enemy'

    Yes absolutely. God destroys all His enemies. One way or another. Order your life God's way or the highway to hell.

    Chicago Police Fire Nearly 100 Bullets at Suspect During Traffic Stop, Killing Him

    There is no shortage of police in Chicago, if you watch the body cam videos. Lots of info and police body cam video here, the police did the right thing for the community in taking him out. https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2024-0003052/

    Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee (D): The moon is "made up mostly of gases" so we can soon live inside it,

    The country is run by lunatics that somehow escaped the insane asylums years ago. They no longer institutionalize crazy people. I wonder what this tells us about those who vote for them, these lunatics.

    Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee (D): The moon is "made up mostly of gases" so we can soon live inside it,

    Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee (D): The moon is "made up mostly of gases" so we can soon live inside it, unlike the sun which is "almost" too hot to go near. So you see being intelligent is not a requirement to be in congress... The eclipse of the moon can apparently bring on a bout of lunacy.

    Real reason the Dems are allowing influx of illegal migrants...they want votes

    Yes, ultimately. The public votes, but electors are actually being elected by the public, and the House actually approves of or not the votes cast for POTUS. There is no direct election of the POTUS by the general public. We do not have a democracy, we have a form of representative government...

    They do not have to vote, the census counts bodies not eligible voters to apportion the house of representatives. The more people in an area, the more house members they get.

    Biden says taxpayers will take over student loan debt repayments.

    I could have used a 'hand up' when I had a mortgage payment. Let the taxpayers pay the entire mortgage off, remember when rates were over 10%. Dems will sell the country off into long term debt slavery to their system of governing just for more temporary political power at the voting booth.

    Biden says taxpayers will take over student loan debt repayments.

    I have read of talk from their side saying to just ignore SCOTUS decisions.
