It is sad how many people consider themselves Christians, but live contrary to the Bible.
No, we do not have the right to determine for ourselves, who God is or what is right and wrong. That is the original sin of trying to usurp the place of God.
Although I loved keto while I was doing it (around 4 years), I am now having some digestion issues & food sensitivies that I think is caused by my gut biome getting messed up because I wasn't feeding it. Our microbiome needs some carbs, even if it is just fiber that we can't digest, in order to stay alive. Taking a little bit of probiotics while doing keto may be a better idea. I'm not sure.
I don't know if it is truly never, but I agree 100% that building a new model works better and works much more consistently.
and even more crazy, those who know the least think they know everything and spend a bunch of time telling everyone what to do and how things work.
There was actually a study showing the two kinds of people who had the most confidence in their opinions were the subject matter experts and those who knew almost nothing. Those who knew almost nothing had no idea how much they didn't know. As people became more and more knowledgeable, they rated themselves lower and lower until you got to the most knowledgeable because the more they knew, the more they understood how much they didn't know.
I read some news this morning (may have been a day or two old because I was out of town) and it sure sounded like things are getting set up for Gog-Magog war. I can't be dogmatic about it, but I'm not thinking we're heading into a normal economic collapse or a normal war.
Of course, I reserve the right to be wrong.
Took them long enough.
I wish you the best, but do consider the afterlife. Everyone will have one. Our decisions now (whether to accept Jesus or not) decides the kind of after life we all will experience. It doesn't have to do with doing good or not. It has to do with believing what the creator said to us and did for us.
They are so logically inconsistent that it hurts my brain.
I generally like them, but like most things, they aren't right on everything. They are yet another group that I trust, but verify.
The best way to produce a kid who can think for themselves and loves learning and seeking the truth is to homeschool them.
I don't understand people who don't love to read.
I don't understand people who don't seek the truth.
I don't understand people who blindly repeat what they are told with out verifying.
At this point, I think the only way to end this nonsense is for the girls to refuse to play against boys pretending to be girls because they aren't good enough to compete against the boys.
It is particularly bad in the physical sports like boxing, but as shown in this article, it is a problem in all sports. There is a reason girls and boys have separate sports. If it makes people feel better, call them XX and XY sports and avoid the hurt feelings, but that is the only consideration that should be allowed.
I think the saying, "Writing checks your bank can't cash" is applicable here.
Between massive debt, driving the good soldiers out with clot shot mandates, giving away all of our weapons and ammo to Ukraine and others, and putting wokism over readiness, I don't think the US is the powerhouse they used to be and I am concerned that they (we) are going to find out the hard way.
When your businesses are located in a country, you want to influence politics in that country because it influences how your business does.
I own a business, but live outside of the city and that means I can't have an effect on the policies that effect my business. It is not good.
I love my freeze dryer. I've only used it for fruits and a few veggies. I need to try it out on some meals. That would be really handy.
God never promised His followers an easy or prosperous life. He actually promised persecution and to be hated as He was hated. Luckily, He also provides strength, peace, and joy in these situations.
I like the old saying, "If someone was trying to convict you of being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you?" I'd argue that the answer is "No" for most people who call themselves Christians. It's sad.
We spent more than an hour on chat (after ~30 minutes on the phone where they would repeatedly hang up on us because it was more than 24 hours since the flight landed). We kept asking the lady "Do you know where our bags are, or not?" In more than an hour she never answered the question.
She'd reply, "You have to understand, I am a baggage specialist. I don't look for the bags. I can only tell you the status."
Yeah, then please tell us the status.
After an hour and 10 minutes, she ended the conversation with, "We have 24=48 hours to tell you where your bags are, so you need to wait 48 hours."
It would have been preferable for her to tell us that an hour ago, so we wouldn't have been late for my Dad's birthday dinner.
The good news is we finally got our bags after 30 hours of them refusing to give us a straight answer about anything. I wish I could never fly again, but with family on the opposite side of the country, I kind of have to occassionally.
I'm waiting on my luggage from yesterday as well. We checked 2 bags and they lost both. It took them a little shy of a day to find it. We had a direct flight and arrived 2 hours before our flight.
I used to enjoy flying, but hate it now.
She just might be more of an idiot than totally senile Biden.
I am absolutely shocked she became the nominee. I didn't think anyone, left, right, or center liked her. She is dumb as rocks. She is hateful and corrupt. She slept her way to the top. She has less than zero charisma. It looks like the Dems were really certain that Trump would be taken out and they are falling apart.
If I were her, I'd be watching my back and go back to the old days of having a food taster.
