Re: Trump and Russia - what turned out to be true?
In 2020 we had the our own FBI meddling with the election by making a concerted effort to suppress the Hunter Biden Laptop story. Really!? The story was all over the news. It wasn't given much credibility in many circles as it came from unreliable sources. As far as I know, we still don't know whic...

Re: Silicon Valley Bank Collapse
Only 2.7% of Silicon Valley Bank deposits are less than $250,000. Meaning, 97.3% aren't FDIC insured. As one who has chosen simple living all my life, I don't know why folks would need more than $250,000 in savings anyway. That's a lot of money. Back in the real world, my son has had his paycheck d...

Re: I think it is funny
This could fit with the Credible News Sources thread as well, but mainly I think it is funny.

Re: Was it worth Dividing the Church??
Yes, but they weren’t “immersed”. ... Orthodox Jews continue to practice miqvah this way today. What is your source for this? Everything I've heard or read has total immersion, not pouring, as part of the description. Immersionists base their stance on the etymological structure of the Greek word, ...

Re: Oops! Here we go again....
I don’t know specifically what X is, sorry. I’m not the expert. But when us nonexperts see trains going off the literal rails, and thousands are stranded in airports, and the supply chain is a mess, you might have to forgive us for thinking that the Secretary of Transportation just may not be much ...

Re: Was it worth Dividing the Church??
Yes, but they weren’t “immersed”. (You are correct that they were stark naked, and we have historical records that show that early Christians also baptised naked, which is why baptisms of women were held at night to preserve their modesty.) Instead, care would be taken to pour the water very carefu...

Re: Was it worth Dividing the Church??
Baptism in Jesus’ time was simply the Jewish practice of mikvah, which was neither sprinkling nor immersion. You went into a pool of flowing water (or a river) and had water poured in your head. I understand baptism was an adaption of the Jewish practice of mikvah, but I've read complete immersion ...

Re: January 6 Coup Attempt
I think what most are asking is that since the recordings are released, that they be released to reputable news organizations, not just one highly partisan political commentator who has no regard for truth. That would be better transparency, I'd think. From what I understand there are recordings th...

Re: January 6 Coup Attempt
There are always two sides to a story, and the Jan. 6 committee showed one side, now Carlson is showing another side. There are many in the Democrat party as well the liberal media who are upset that Carlson is showing more footage of that day. I am confused why these people wouldn't want the publi...

Re: covering the grave
Muslim and Jewish burials are similar; they don’t believe in embalming. They just put the body directly in the ground. Considering how outrageous funeral services are, there is wisdom in this method. This is what I've requested. The modern name is "green burials". I just think of it as na...
