    Anyone getting the new Covid booster?

    I don't have any magic answers of definitive truth. Here's what I do know... The mRNA vaccines work with your immune system to provide immunity. If you have a functional immune system....if you don't then the shot is worthless. At 90-something it is likely that the immune system is kaput...

    Anyone getting the new Covid booster?

    My wife has worked in medical research for over a decade now. The controls and checks and stops and whistle-blower and intellectual property thieves are insane. 99.99% of everything that the fear mongers say is definitely untrue. It can't be true in any nation under the sun. However, I...

    Something odd about today

    It has to be complete proteins and not partial proteins like those found in plants....which is why there's dietary formulas for mixing and matching grains and legumes to gain complete proteins...because otherwise it's not going to stop the cognitive degeneration. And I have yet to meet a fat...

    Free Movies on YouTube

    The Public library usually has a large video selection online as well....television shows and etc available for streaming. Usually requires an app....but may not.

    Good tidings of great joy, which shall be to SOME people?

    All people as in ALL Nationalities and race. Not each and every single individual. It's a Hebrewism....there are many such idioms of speech.

    That's how wars are started.....

    Anyone getting the new Covid booster?

    I got the new booster in early October. My dad came for Thanksgiving and unknowingly brought covid with him that he caught from my younger brother. I caught nothing even though he was in the house and truck and was all up around me. My older brother rode together with Dad for the trip to...

    Something odd about today

    A lack of protein in your diet causes people to have lower cognitive function and be more pliable with suggestions outside of normal societal norms.

    Does the Kingdom of God being at hand mean it will come or that it has come?

    There are sects of Judaism that do that for sure...because they are not Levites. Only Levites were allowed to handle scriptures. (Until John's Baptism which instituted the priesthood of every believer) And many Jewish sects(denominations) still practice that belief to this day...

    Does the Kingdom of God being at hand mean it will come or that it has come?

    It's the English translators who are shy... The Messianic Jews are not shy with the tetragrammiton. What they are shy about is "interpreting" the name or translating it....so they stay true to the original Hebrew for God's name or Jesus's name (because Jesus is God) Here's a messianic Jewish...

    Fruit of Self-control and weight loss

    So much of our identity is wrapped up in our self perception it's almost unhealthy psychologically. I've seen what effect gastric bypass surgery has on people...especially women. Women having it done go nuts in a manner...end up divorced almost 80% of the time afterwards. And where I...

    Does the Kingdom of God being at hand mean it will come or that it has come?

    Okay... Do you understand the concept of God's Sovereignty? Just because God chooses to have a "separation" (by appearances only) does by no means intend that God is anything else but Over ALL. Any rebellion is also instantly crushed by God's Sovereignty....which is what Jesus was warning...

    How Long Has CB enabled Neo-Nazi, White Supremacists, a platform?

    They are trolls. This board and other boards get trolls regularly.... Look at post counts. How many posts has the poster posting such hate actually made? How long have they been a part of this board? Usually it's a short timer with only double digit posts. Not years and thousands.

    Does the Kingdom of God being at hand mean it will come or that it has come?

    The Kingdom of God is a reference to God's Sovereignty. (God is over all and above all and created ALL) "Kingdom of Heaven" is a more locational reference than anything else....if location was actually....well that's a completely different discussion that most people can't fathom. But...

    My screwed up life

    Out of curiosity... Does SSA give a reason for denying your claim? Or do you just get a "NO" and nothing else? Dr records and x-rays should provide a clear explanation for you....but maybe it's the doctor who has unclear records that thinks idiot SSA staff should understand medical jargon.

    Does the Kingdom of God being at hand mean it will come or that it has come?

    Eloh.....singular Elohim...plural. Hear oh Israel the Lord God is one. The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven both have the same King...but they are not the same thing. When someone in another country says "The Americans are coming/have arrived!" What exactly does that mean...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Because the letter is addressed to Timothy personally and Paul, prone to sarcasm, is speaking to a friend in a relaxed manner and not so formally as he would to an entire congregation. Context is king. Also Timothy was in Ephesus...the banking capital. Where wealthy men were extremely...

    Screen sometimes unresponsive to touch

    Software issues. Your cursor appearance is a function of software. Usually a reboot will fix it. Because sometimes we leave our stuff on and the RAM (which has certain programs running all the time like the cursor) get confused by being turned off and on by other programs. (Like movies or...

    Screen sometimes unresponsive to touch

    With the use of indoor heat this time of year most people get a bit dehydrated while being cool and not sweating at all. And touching the screen is not really required...just getting very close is good enough. Again it's about that charge within you that matters. And a simple stylus really...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    It's not a prohibition... There's nothing wrong with polygamy as far as God cares. But it is against societal norms today. So I really really do not recommend engaging in the practice. It's also illegal...so I really really don't believe it to be a good thing to engage in. The English...
