Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Lack of transitional life forms in the fossil record throws a wrench ? in the arguments for evolution.
Good post
For the rational mind, a wrench. For the committed atheist, they’ll switch to a screwdriver.
Personally I find no conflict between “science” and “evolution” and the word of God as contained in the holy scriptures. Who cares if 6 days is actually 6 hundred million years or whatever. What IS important and is perfectly in “tune” with science is the sequence. I mean do people seriously believe that God would have explained the intricacies of creation in minute detail. We would have stopped understanding after the first sentence. For those able and desiring, the depths of Kabbalah, explained or understood by only the very select, reveals a wonder way, way beyond our “average” ability to even comprehend. But trust me, the 2 can and WILL happily live side by side in the not too distant future – provided of course WE do our bit, and not sit and wait for “another” to do everything. Remember it’s a covenant, a deal, a 50/50 – we can’t just expect to receive by sitting on the couch, and popping in now and then on Sunday.
(Oh, I know who this is)
“desiring, the depths of Kabbalah” meaning “the depths of Satan” (Revelation 2:24).
“Kabbalah” is a collection of occultist Jewish writings; secret arts, mysticism, fables, Jewish myths; antichrist.
“For there are many deceivers, especially of the circumcision party… rebuke them sharply…devoting themselves to Jewish myths and the commands of people who turn away from the truth.”
— New Testament book of Titus 1:10-14, warnings written by Paul, ca. 60 A.D.
I find debates like this fascinating. Gould wrapped the episodic nature of evolution in to scientific theory. But it is really weird to see the evidence of both episodic and gradual changes used to deny that very evidence.
And when I read little bits about this part of Jewish history, it is never so simple. Believers often impose things upon the past that aren’t really supported. Detractors do too.
Speaking of not so simple. When were Paul’s letters written, and who wrote them?
(Hint: There is lots about Titus that supports lots of arguments for why it was likely written after Paul died. Maybe even a long time after. But even those who argue Paul did write it come up with many different dates.)

Thinking of “today”, thinking of “now”:
2 Cor. 6:2 (cf. Isaiah 49:8)
“For He says: “In the acceptable time I listened to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Isaiah 55:6-7
“Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on them, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.”
Hebrews 3:15a (cf. Psalms 95:7-8)
“As it has been said: “If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts…”
Revelation 22:17 (cf. Isaiah 55:1)
“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely.”

Thinking of why:
Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Romans 5:8
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
John 5:24
“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.”

Thinking of how:
Luke 18:13
“And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’”
James 4:8a
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
John 6:28-29
“Therefore they said to Him, “What must we do, that we may be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you should believe in Him whom He has sent.””
Mark 9:24b
“‘Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.'”
Acts 16:30-31
“Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.””
Monroe: Serious question(s)…
From a Christian perspective, what is your position on civil disobedience and the use of force to protect family, neighbors, community, etc.
I can tell you honor Scripture so please support your views using the Bible.
…or send links? Massive thanks.
James 1:19 — “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath”
Other than putting forth the Scriptures that have been posted here, I try to keep my personal perspective rather reserved — slow to speak — until I feel like I have something to say and can frame it in an appropriate manner.
Currently, I don’t have any specific resources / links to recommend off the top of my head. I also don’t have anything to share in this vein at the moment, but it does give food for thought.
Thanks for the reply
Christ instructed Thomas to keep a sword in his tunic, “just in case’. Now you see why that chapter of Scripture was deleted by the heathen based “Christians” while adopting pagan ritual holidays of Rome at Nicea…
Thanks much for responding.
Hi Frank.
I happened upon your question.
Here are some Bible-based articles on self-defense you might take a look at.

Very Nice ?
Thank You , Garrison !
Seems obvious this is happening and will never end. The vaccine wanes and puts pressure on the virus to fight to stay alive…
Quote by Dr. Harvey Risch,
“No. I put it the other way around. the unvaccinated should be afraid of the vaccinated. They’re just as infected, in fact maybe more infected. So it is well known that it is the vaccinated people that generate the mutant strains and not the unvaccinated people. And that has led that corruption of the medical establishment saying that unvaccinated people are generating the mutants which is an absolute falsehood. It is exactly the opposite. This has been known for 100 years that it’s vaccinated people who are more prone to generate mutant strains.”
Because it’s a non sterilizing or ‘leaky vaccine’
Sorry, I will not fear the vaccinated. They are my friends and family and neighbors. They are not diseased. I will not partake in tribalism, no matter who is dishing it out.
I assume Lee from canada’s point, in citing dr harvey risch’s quote, is more figuratively speaking.
I do not “ fear” my family members, but the point is, I dont let media fool me into thinking only the un-experimentally injected are to be ‘feared’.
Viruses mutate. That is part of what they do. Evidence shows Delta appeared before any vaccines were implemented. But it peaked in India while vaccines were being injected. It is not clear if vaccines helped Delta by taking out Alpha, but frankly India was predominately unvaxed at the time.
The Delta type of mutation improved its spreading two ways. It became more infectious and less deadly. Those things alone could help it outcompete earlier strains. But it is helped by the vax induced antibodies which take out Alpha but don’t do so well with Delta.
That by the way is the very problem with leaky or non-sterilizing vaccines. They allow the virus to thrive in the host, and select for evolved versions. But not everything will evolve the way Delta did. In the past, a virus evolved in vaccinated chicken that became deadly to unvaccinated chicken.
Luckily that hasn’t happened to covid. Yet. But with the current vaxapalooza, it is just a matter of time before bad mutations happen. This would be much less likely with natural immunity or with sterilizing vaccines.
What we do have now is measurements of some vaxed who shed much more virus than the unvaxed did. That could be the result of a partially working vaccine. The ‘you can catch the virus but you won’t die’ aspect could be why this is happening. Luckily, it seems even this aspect fades with time. So maybe the superspreading will go away. Or there will always be another vax to keep the reapers hopes alive.

Bob Dylan records his first album, “Bob Dylan”, for Columbia Records. The LP featured the 20-year-old singer accompanied only by his guitar and harmonica. The recording is done in one day and productions costs were held to $400.
21 October 1972
Seventeen years after having hits with some of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s most memorable classics, Chuck Berry had his first US number one record with “My Ding-a-Ling”, a silly novelty song centered on grade-school level, private parts jokes. The tune also went to the top of the UK chart. It was recorded live at Coventry Lanchester Polytechnic in England as part of the Lanchester Arts Festival, for which Berry turned up an hour and a half late.
21 October 1985
A television special called The Carl Perkins and Friends Show, marked the 30th anniversary of the song “Blue Suede Shoes”. The event featured Carl Perkins, the song’s writer, along with Dave Edmunds, Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
Love the way Carl refers to Eric, George, Dave, et al, as “my class”!

I actually made a Pumpkin Cheesecake for Thanksgiving Dinner one time .
My pride got a little dented when I proudly presented it after dinner ,,
and my Favorite Cousin said it looked like baby poop ?
When it came time to wash up the dishes I noticed it was All Gone Though ?
Hehee
Please Lord DELIVER US FROM EVIL, give us the courage, power, wits, skills, energy to fight back. Guide, lead, and direct us to outwit and conquer these evil demons quickly and efficiently. And please, help us to wake up those that are still in slumber, apathy and ignorance so that they too can fight this spiritual war. There is so much strength in numbers, bring us a leader than can rally and unite us as One Nation Under God to end the wickedness of things we have never known before. Amen.
A strong Christian leader that will be rock solid against immorality and the depravity of the demonrat party
It’s Cursday Treepers. Pet your puppies for me!
I miss my Chihuahuas, ZeeBee and E.T., so much!
Something short and lighthearted, this song was written over 100 years ago. The singer here who is French has a really good American accent. 100 seconds.

As a Floridian, I’d LOVE to just stand outside and shiver for a few hours! 🙂
DIRECTION BY IMPULSE
“Building up yourselves on your most holy faith.” Jude 20
There was nothing either of the nature of impulse or of cold-bloodedness about Our Lord, but only a calm strength that never got into panic. Most of us develop our Christianity along the line of our temperament, not along the line of God. Impulse is a trait in natural life, but Our Lord always ignores it, because it hinders the development of the life of a disciple. Watch how the Spirit of God checks impulse, His checks bring a rush of self-conscious foolishness which makes us instantly want to vindicate ourselves. Impulse is all right in a child, but it is disastrous in a man or woman; an impulsive man is always a petted man. Impulse has to be trained into intuition by discipline.
Discipleship is built entirely on the supernatural grace of God. Walking on the water is easy to impulsive pluck, but walking on dry land as a disciple of Jesus Christ is a different thing. Peter walked on the water to go to Jesus, but he followed Him afar off on the land. We do not need the grace of God to stand crises, human nature and pride are sufficient, we can face the strain magnificently; but it does require the supernatural grace of God to live twenty-four hours in every day as a saint, to go through drudgery as a disciple, to live an ordinary, unobserved, ignored existence as a disciple of Jesus. It is inbred in us that we have to do exceptional things for God; but we have not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people, and this is not learned in five minutes.

Nice – but a number of them look Photoshop enhanced / retouched.
Surprising, unless it was allowed(?)
Given all the reports of Durham investigative activity lately,
doesn’t it look more and more like the DOJ’s “settlement” with McCabe
is hush money?
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/alibaba-unveils-one-of-chinas-most-advanced-chips
HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) – Alibaba Group Holding has unveiled a new server chip that is based on advanced 5-nanometre technology, marking a milestone in China’s pursuit of semiconductor self-sufficiency.
The Chinese tech giant’s newest chip is based on micro-architecture provided by SoftBank Group-owned Arm Ltd, according to a statement on Tuesday (Oct 19).
Alibaba, which is holding its annual cloud summit in Hangzhou, said the silicon chip will be put to use in its own data centres in the near future and will not be sold commercially, at least for now.
Alibaba is one of a number of Chinese firms that have answered Beijing’s call to invest in the development of cutting-edge technologies and manufacturing capacities. Known as Yitian 710, the Arm-based server chip is the third semiconductor introduced by the e-commerce giant since 2019, following an artificial intelligence chip as well as one used for the Internet of Things.
But with limited domestic semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, Alibaba will likely still have to outsource production. While the company did not disclose its manufacturing partner, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and South Korea’s Samsung Electronics are the only two companies capable of mass-producing 5nm chips.
