GAslighting is different than the Mandela effect. You appear to be conflating something intentional with something that is not intentional

By non-partisan you mean racist and far right? Because that is a lot of what I am seeing in AB

I suspect it will lose traction in the current reality. Certainly AB and SK provincial parties are not happy (though I found the latest plan from Nenshi here in AB to be sorely lacking on the environmental front).

THe only area (apart from the basement) that we have not painted is the back entry which has high walls, some of which overhang the basement stairs. If that gets painted it will be by hiring someone to do it

A) I think the thread is talking of more than one conflict B) the Hamas attack in 2023 and the Israeil genocidal response in Gaza was not a new war but a continuation of an old one. That is the point I was making.

AI s wrong here. October 7 2023 was not the beginning of a new conflict, it was an upsurge in a conflict going back to 1948 (at least). And on that ongoing conflict ISrael has been very much a belligerent. While there were innocent victims on all sides the nation of Israel was nowhere close to...

No, that is a faulty theology of Scripture. One that is highly supecessionist and requires some interesting exegetical gymnastics in many places.

More accurate to say that Unsafe wants to avoid being who Jesus calls us to be. Jesus calls us to be in the world, to follow The Way while living in the world -- not to wait for some cosmic/Divine rescue trip. Being a follower of JEsus is about how we live in this world, not trying to book a...

For someone who claims to only read but not interpret you are sure doing a whole lot of interpretation here. A strict reading of that verse would be that only the text of the law found in Deuteronomy is to be read as binding.

Except the Bible as we use the term did NOT exist when John of Patmos wrote down his vision. SO it can't refer to something that does not exist. IT can refer to what John himself wrote. As I recall such pieces were not unknown in the ancient world.

Undoubtedly that verse in Revelation refers to that book in particular, given that the canon as we now know it was not yet existing. Although I do remember that when I started seminary the Canadian Bible Society was giving away some Bibles that were misprints---it was missing that precise...

Now you are drawing from the Cold War? This was rhetoric used then (though at that time it was more of a client war language). You continue to try and make Scripture into something it simply is not.

Describing things that have always been happening. It is not like a precise prediction. There has been no point in human history that could not say "these things are happening".

WE had that once and it turned out that the 220 outlet had failed so the dryer was only getting half the power. Luckily I knew an electrician from the church who came to swap it out
