Re: Saturday Sabbath

There could just as easily be 9 days per week with Uranus and Neptune added, Those aren't visible to the naked eye or things would surely have been different as you note. It could be any number of course. It's arbitrary. But our historical path in the west sources heavily from Rome. We used the ...

Re: Saturday Sabbath

I was looking into the origin of the 7 day week. There are two parallel developments. The Jewish with which we're all familiar. Like so much of the old testament, it's origin seems to be much later than the old testament itself would indicate. No earlier than the early roman period. https://www.ucl ...

Re: Respect

They demand respect because they have a position and title. Even though they have not acted now or the past in ways that earn the respect they claim to simply deserve.

Re: How to respond to believing spouse?

This is the child's event, not the parents. Do what it takes to serve the child's interest, even down to skipping baptism if so chosen. As to your part, if baptism is chosen, do what the church says you can as a non-believer. If that's nothing, then there's the answer. If that changes your child's ...

Re: Keeping up with Trump

You're always asking for a source, evidence for our statements.

Your interpretation is conspiracy without evidence. And that's worthless. Your turn to put to our shut up.

Re: Keeping up with Trump

My brother does his real estate speculation the same way. He loans to the spec builders with the land as his collateral. And a bonus at sale. He has no business as such. He does have a contract/loan form. And families often lend money to other members. Can you prove it wasn't a loan? You know those ...

Re: Keeping up with Trump

Based on Joe Biden's financial statements he's made public, he doesn't own any businesses. For 2020, he seemed to have a more limited income stream. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelatindera/2020/05/15/5-things-we-learned-from-joe-bidens-new-financial-disclosure/?sh=9b178e732d78 discusses incomes ...

Re: Testimonies and Idol Worship

The idea that any given noun, verb, action, idea or some such is holy or sacred is idol worship. If a church, or book or robe, or shroud is holy, it partakes in the divine, but is not itself god(s). It is just an object. A holy object. That is the definition of an idol.

Great. So we agree. Trump did not say he would imprison any who opposed him. That never happened. Agreed? [/quote] No. It would be naive to make such a statement. Rather we have no available record that Trump has uttered those exact words in that exact order. However Trump has demonstrated ...

What is your source for this? Many opposed Trump when he was president? Who did he imprison? With all due respect, your claim is pure gaslighting. Biden’s DOJ and Soros’s DA’s are taking political prisoners and incarcerating enemies. Perhaps you are correct about Trump, but if you are, it can be a p ...
