I spotted a wedge tailed eagle yesterday taking to the air as I passed by in my van. It was probably eating some roadkill. Their massive birds.

Sadly, wedge tailed eagles also become road kill because they have a hard time getting off the ground into the air, because they are a relatively heavy bird in comparison to other birds, when vehicles are approaching the road kill they are eating, particularly when it is still on the road.

True. Its a massive effort for the eagle to get off the ground and into the sky. Much easier for them to jump from a high perch and glide

A Christian message board isn’t an appropriate place to discuss the role a certain tribe has played in sowing division among to Gentiles to make society more conducive to their interests. That group of people has done an astonishingly good job in portraying themselves as humanity’s perpetual victims, even though every group has been a victim at some point in history, so you will risk getting branded a Nazi just for raising the subject.
All Socialist are dupes and Stooges that make up godless rules. For they are on a Mans works trip, they are of this world and this world Jesus said he was not of and that this world is full of delusions a deceptions.

If one has a good look at Hitler and his antics, you will see that he has to use fear tactics to get through the days, so he would yell and rant ? this is to shut people up ! he could not have a rational debate, because if he did and was totally open to all aspects put to him, then he would be exposed for his real intentions and of who were truly in control of him, would be exposed.

Nowadays we see the Socialist are just like Hitler's workings, only coming from another angle of deception that is used ! so we see who or what you the people are not allowed to talk about, such things are taboo :rolleyes: . why !
Well they are trying hide something or fear the truth or do not want people to become truly educated on such a subject.
Your live is setup just like Nazi Germany set up the School children to be brainwashed, sure it's coming from a different angle ! but it's the same pox riddled intention, to make such people intolerant ! but why one may ask and to what ends ?
We have little neo-Nazis everywhere nowadays demanding the rules or else they will go ballistic ! with you can't say this or that ! or they will want to fight you ! but they have no idea what they are on about and will not listen at all, and if they were to listen then they would fear if to be seen by another their age group trying to understand ? but it's not about understanding anything to them, it's just act on the issue to stamp it out ! Just like the Nazis were instructed to do with anyone of another opinion.

Now the cunning plan has been worked out years in advance for all this brainwashing but it's the same Pox just branded differently !
It's the Government having power over the People that is the real intentions in all this and you all become slaves to the Government, that is what Nazi Germany was all about ! and what Communism is all about ! and Socialism leads to a Government owning you all totally !

But our democracy's were built on we the People having the Governments serving us the People in fact. but the rot has set in and has bastardised all such, because it is now that we all live in a bastardised Godless Nations. Such people have no Grace ! so the Hellfire will come. you reap what you sow is a fact !
So we see carnal rubbish like so called Jews and Islam being elevated in our Government powers nowadays. such is like supporting a cancer ! for they have not Grace at all. you want to live like they do ? as slaves ! Godless idiots who are only religious dupes to a evil system, sure we have evil bastards in Christian denominations as well but they have been working for years to undermine from within, that's clear ! they have been propped up so they can molest Children for decades and all was hidden under the carpet ! not to mention they preached a religion and not Christ Jesus !
Remember that this world is as Jesus said, full of deceptions and delusions.

I found two glaring errors in your hate-filled post...

"...now that we all live in a bastardised Godless Nations". Speak for yourself. You have convinced me to never live in Australia or even visit.

"...carnal rubbish like so called Jews and Islam being elevated in our Government powers nowadays".

Romans 11:1-2b, " So I ask, God has not rejected his people, has he? Absolutely not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew!

Romans 11:11-12a, " I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous. Now if their transgression means riches for the world and their defeat means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration bring?"

Romans 11:17-18, " Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and participated in the richness of the olive root, do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

Romans 11:20b: "Do not be arrogant, but fear! For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you."

Romans 11:25-26a, " For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved"

Your hatred and bigotry is totally unChristian. Shame on you!!!

@FluffyYellowDuck Re. your light and peace comment, another verse comes to mind:

"Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light" (Colossians 1.12). :)

Typical God less Socialist !

What did God say that he hated ? see that God hates ? look them all up that he hates in fact.

Godless people have no place in Political positions in fact !
Islam and Jews are God less people in fact, if one was a worthy Christian one would know that fact. No one comes to the Father but ? remember that, or do I need to point the whole lot out to you.

Why would anyone want to serve under a person who has no Grace in fact. such must be a moron because such a one is lost in fact.

Islam and Jews have no place in Political positions that are Christen Nations in fact and anyone who claims they do is of Satan !

Christ Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches, he who abides in him has Life !
God prunes the branches. why ? because they are dead or sterile.

I was not grafted back in bro, I am Hebrew and just like them Hebrews who came to Christ Jesus.
One should remember that one has to be a worthy Israelite to come to Christ Jesus. just as it was 2000 years ago.

Do you know who Gods people are ? It's they who serve only him and never anyone other. Jacob got that name Israel, but did you ?

I have come across many idiots who claim that anyone who is a Jew is worthy of God, regardless ! but that is not true of even in the OT is it. people were banished etc etc for not being worthy.

Then we come to Nathaniel ? a subject that you would not have any idea about, would you ?

Shame shame Sim B. To empower Godless Nations or people who outright despise Jesus Christ. such a one is truly worthy of hell, but it's typical nowadays of Bastards claiming to be Christians. and bastards they truly are, because they are Godless in fact, that's the definition of a bastard is it not.

New age religious idiots 10 commandments ? Words not to be used :rolleyes: IS THAT THE FIRST ONE ! or is it Racism ? I can not remember the first 2 :oops: please tell me your new age commandments ;) is not to offend another! :confused: Jesus offended, because the carnal were offended in fact.
Jesus cursed the what tree ? Oh no !

The height of irony. A thread discussing tolerance/toleration, and posters expressing intolerance.
The question therefore... If tolerance is limited, and intolerance conditional, how do we work out righteous parameters in which to exercise judgement on matters that challenge our cherished positions?

Reggie, you are so full of your own opinions and self righteous judgements it's not possible to have an objective discussion with you!

Perhaps by discerning when we are and are not able to edify others.

@Backlit I can be intolerant at times. Particularly with people who tend to rub me up the wrong way. I am repeatedly going to God in prayer for help in being more kind or understanding or more sensitive toward other people and where they are at....JM2C

Mm. That would greatly depend on the attitude of the one you are speaking with. Some whose behavior is unacceptable would react to your expressions of intolerance than other's expressions of tolerance. Up to them whether they accept counsel and correction or prefer the approval of the tolerant. Your pearls may get trampled. Or not. Me, I'm a stubborn old coot at times and don't easily take no for an answer. I'm reluctant to shake the dust off. The more the pearls get trampled, the more determined I get to grit the teeth and be obnoxious.

So at the end of the day, we need to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. You are right, I think, people respond to different things in different ways, even Jesus demonstrated that.

Much love!

Is the intolerance for opposing opinions that is now so prevalent across western society, any different from the religious intolerance that so dominated society during the dark ages? Are not the results the same?
Could it be that the ideology behind such intolerance, in both ages, has a common source?

Christians are only allowed to tolerate that which is true, good, and beautiful!

only the one true faith revealed by God in Christ thru His holy church!

Justice of the state

Does not wield the sword in vain!

Old Testament:

Ez 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

Ez 9:4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:

6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.

(Even those who did not worship the sun but were not grieved at this offense were slain!)

1 kings 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

1 kings 18:40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

(All these false prophets were killed)

Leviticus 20:27
A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.


We don’t apologize for the truth of the gospel of life!

Two edge sword:

The church has received from her savior the “sacred deposit of faith” eph 4:5 Jude 1:3

And has to command from Christ to teach all men matt 28:19 without error Lk 10:16 Jn 20:21 Jn 16:13

To teach, and declare the truth of divine revelation and to condemn all errors!

To Defend and safeguard the sacred deposit of faith and all the faithful from error preserving the purity of the faith of Jesus Christ!

Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

We live in freethinking Open society with “rights” like free speech, freedom of the press etc. with separation of church and state as opposed to a close kingdom, by a prime minister with the cardinal arch-bishop as the chancellor and only the true faith revealed by Christ being allowed and all other are another Gospel and error and treason not only against the king and the realm but against God!

Treason!

Heresy is treason against God and His revealed truth!

Rev 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

1 Corinthians 16:22
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema!

It was the spirit of jezebel, the witch that married Ahab, whose prophets Elijah slew, that is the spirit of Antichrist, that places the kings of the earth in the stead of the true Husband, Christ. The daughter of Jezebel murdered the royal family.
It was the same Spirit that compelled Herodias to tell her daughter to demand the head of John. Of course the state agreed, just like Ahab.
It is was the spirit of Jezebel that deceived the church (ofThyatira) of the dark ages to commit adultery with the kings of the earth, whose daughters are destined to murder the true Christians soon.
It is the harlot mother whose daughters are now gathering together who will demand of the state power the heads of those who do not know the depths of Satan and his occult pagan union of church and state. (See Revelation 2:18-26.)

It is fascinating when you consider the concept of tolerance and read the letter to the churches of Pergamum and Thyatira.

KJV Revelation 2:14-16
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

KJV Revelation 2:20
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest (tolerate) that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

The church as Thyatira was rebuked for being tolerant of the spirit of Jezebel in their midst. The church at Pergamum likewise, but it was them who were told to repent... Or I will come unto thee and fight against them.
My take from the above is we need to make sure there are no logs before dealing with the sin of others.
