    Yet Another Set of Lies, Netflix's New Documentary on the Vietnam War

    But is that rejection forever? I don't believe that is what the Scripture tells us. To the contrary, Romans 11:26 says that all Israel will be saved. Your eschatology and theology are obviously different from mine, which distorts your views of Israel/Jews. When John mentioned the synagogue of...

    Yet Another Set of Lies, Netflix's New Documentary on the Vietnam War

    There are plenty of scriptures that speak of a regathering of Israel in the latter days and a nation being born in a day. No one can deny that has happened. And if Israel didn't have God's blessing, how have they not only survived but thrived despite being surrounded by enemies and the world...

    What Happens To You After Your Body Dies

    That goes both ways, and saying the same thing over and over again doesn't make something true. That's an opinion, but science has yet to prove it. At best they can map brain activity, but that only shows there's a relationship between the brain and consciousness. The hard problem of...

    Yet Another Set of Lies, Netflix's New Documentary on the Vietnam War

    I don't see that connection. The seeds of Communism were born out of the so-called Age of Enlightenment philosophers, who rejected God. If you read the writings of Karl Marx, they sound more like Satanism than anything else (read The Devil and Karl Marx). The Jews who embraced Communism were...

    What Happens To You After Your Body Dies

    The spiritual/Information views can overlap. The latter would merely explain how the former works. I have likewise hypothesized that the brain acts as an antenna or interface for the consciousness, which exists elsewhere, possibly in a fourth dimensional space unobservable to us. Then Jesus...

    USA/IRAN/ISRAEL PEACE DEAL?

    How has history repeated itself? Unlike previous administrations, Trump didn't put any boots on the ground, and there aren't 1000s of body bags arriving back in the US.

    USA/IRAN/ISRAEL PEACE DEAL?

    What should we be, isolationists? I guarantee our enemies and adversaries would gladly fill the void. It comes from U.S. intelligence, the DOJ, the FBI. Do your own research. So, you hate your own country. Got it. There's a big difference between an accident and intentionally killing...

    Is gambling a sin?

    They used to cast lots in the bible, which is a form of gambling. So, like drinking, it's not something that is expressly prohibited. Getting into overindulgence though could certainly lead to sin. Some people avoid them altogether because it's easy to fall into excess.

    USA/IRAN/ISRAEL PEACE DEAL?

    Well, let's see. Since the Iranian revolution, they took 66 American hostages in 1979. They were involved in the Khobar Towers bombing in 1996 that killed 19 U.S. Air Force personnel. They took 10 US Navy sailors hostage in 2016. They shot a US drone down over the Strait of Hormuz in 2019. They...

    Unorthodox opinion from an Orthodox rabbi (God must Repent)

    "Then the LORD will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known--wood and stone. And among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall the sole of your foot have a resting place...

    Anyone interested in genealogy family trees and DNA?

    I did the Ancestry DNA test. I'm mostly European (mainly English and Irish), and some indigenous American (they didn't get very specific on that). My great grandfather came from Greece. Oddly, the amount of Mediterranean DNA I have is relatively small.

    Russia, Dugin, and the unholy alliance of the last days

    If you don't know by now, Alexander Dugin is a Russian political philosopher and theorist. I liken him to a modern-day Rasputin. He has quite a bit of influence on Russian politics; Putin regularly consults with him, and his ideas have disseminated throughout the Western world through social...

    My handing of the topic of "The Crusades"

    In much the same way, Islam's conquest of the Middle East and Southern Europe shaped medieval Europe. A mere 80 years after Muhammad's death, Islam had spread by the sword as far East as China and the Indian Ocean, and as far West as Morocco. It then spread into Europe through the Iberian...

    Marry in Registry Office

    There's nothing in the Bible that says it has to be done in a church by a pastor or priest. There's no clear outline for a wedding ceremony at all. In ancient Judea, it was done between families via contract. Once they were betrothed, they were considered married even though they didn't...

    Should I buy a sword?

    The UK also has some of the highest knife-homicide rates in Western Europe per-capita.

    What is the difference between the soul and the spirit?

    There's a lot of overlap between the two, and there isn't really a consensus on the distinction. Ask different people, and you will get different responses. Mostly because I don't think anyone fully understands it. In general, I'd say the soul is your inner being, your thoughts, emotions...

    The Mark of the Beast...

    A Satan worshiper can change his mind, true, but taking the mark of the beast is something clearly unique. I don't believe they will be capable of repenting any more than Satan and his fallen angels can. Whether it's because they can't or they won't, the end result is still the same. Some...

    The Mark of the Beast...

    There seems to be a clear delineation once the mark is taken. It's not simply a chip in the hand or whatever; they have to worship the Beast to get it. That in itself is a blasphemous act. There is no interim period between taking the mark and becoming spiritually corrupted; I suspect it's...

    The Mark of the Beast...

    The fact that it mentions two very specific locations, the right hand or forehead, would suggest to me it's literal, especially since not everyone has a right hand, but everyone alive has a forehead. What if by taking the mark they become so spiritually corrupted that they become incapable of...
