Dear MAGA: 20190421 Open Topic


This very special SPECTACULAR SUNDAY
open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody
to post whatever they feel they would like
to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.


Say what you want, comment on what other people said,
comment on people’s comments.
Keep it civil.  Treehouse rules, but expect lots of QAnon.


See the January 1st daily thread for the rules of the road,
which are few but important.


Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:
I AM PRAYING FOR YOU

Spectacular Sunday

On this one day let this sink in…

1-2 Friends, let me go over the Message with you one final time— this Message that I proclaimed and that you made your own; this Message on which you took your stand and by which your life has been saved. (I’m assuming, now, that your belief was the real thing and not a passing fancy, that you’re in this for good and holding fast.)

3-9 The first thing I did was place before you what was placed so emphatically before me: that the Messiah died for our sins, exactly as Scripture tells it; that he was buried; that he was raised from death on the third day, again exactly as Scripture says; that he presented himself alive to Peter, then to his closest followers, and later to more than five hundred of his followers all at the same time, most of them still around (although a few have since died); that he then spent time with James and the rest of those he commissioned to represent him; and that he finally presented himself alive to me. It was fitting that I bring up the rear. I don’t deserve to be included in that inner circle, as you well know, having spent all those early years trying my best to stamp God’s church right out of existence.

 — 1 Corinthians 15:1-9

Jesus-risen-from-tomb
Christ is Risen! … He is Risen Indeed!

10-11 But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I’m not about to let his grace go to waste.Haven’t I worked hard trying to do more than any of the others? Even then, my work didn’t amount to all that much. It was God giving me the work to do, God giving me the energy to do it. So whether you heard it from me or from those others, it’s all the same: We spoke God’s truth and you entrusted your lives.
12-15 Now, let me ask you something profound yet troubling. If you became believers because you trusted the proclamation that Christ is alive, risen from the dead, how can you let people say that there is no such thing as a resurrection? If there’s no resurrection, there’s no living Christ.And face it—if there’s no resurrection for Christ, everything we’ve told you is smoke and mirrors, and everything you’ve staked your life on is smoke and mirrors. Not only that, but we would be guilty of telling a string of barefaced lies about God, all these affidavits we passed on to you verifying that God raised up Christ—sheer fabrications, if there’s no resurrection.
16-20 If corpses can’t be raised, then Christ wasn’t, because he was indeed dead. And if Christ weren’t raised, then all you’re doing is wandering about in the dark, as lost as ever. It’s even worse for those who died hoping in Christ and resurrection, because they’re already in their graves. If all we get out of Christ is a little inspiration for a few short years, we’re a pretty sorry lot. But the truth is that Christ has been raised up, the first in a long legacy of those who are going to leave the cemeteries.

 — 1 Corinthians 15:10-20

Hubby and I used to be Sunday School teachers for middle and high school students. They liked these songs for this season! The artist is Carmen. It dates us, but the message is still relevant!
Sunday’s on the way:

Love the pic.
I join you and others in praying for Patrick and his family, for love and comfort and peace. I have missed him so much the last few days, but I’m so grateful he found his way here.

ladypenquin

Something must be wrong. 🙁 He was commenting a lot in the early part of last week, and then nothing. Maybe just a bad spell for now. Praying for him.

Pat Frederick

hoping he has family surrounding him and supporting him and keeping him busy this holiday season is all…

Plain Jane

Prayers for a very blessed Easter for allof you wonderful people and for all of your. God bless you and yours, God bless President Trump and all of his people. God bless America and the world.

churchmouse

Thank you, Jane.
Could not agree more with your comment.
I hope that you — and everyone at the Q Tree — enjoyed a blessed, happy Easter!

GA/FL

Thank you so much, T3. The Bible passages you chose are so powerful.
Rev. Eugene Peterson really made Scripture come alive – the right balance between modern language and time-tested, tried and true theology is amplified as though the volume is turned up a bit.
You are so right – Easter//Pascha and Pesach/Passover are spectacular….God’s limitless power on display.
HE is alive – forevermore!
(2nd trying to post this)

GA/FL

It is puzzling that the King James English Bible in Acts 12:4 uses the word Easter for Passover, yet nowhere else in the Bible does that translation occur.
Did the word Easter come from Ishtar, the Babylonian goddess, Eostre the Anglo-Saxon goddess, Esther, the Jewish heroine? Did Passover coincide with a Roman Spring celebration called Easter?
Here we are, 2000+ years later, and most Christians still call the day of our Lord’s resurrection, Easter.
https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Acts%2012%3A4
https://www.accordancebible.com/Passover-Pesach-Pascha-Easter/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ēostre

thetinfoilhatsociety

Actually only Christians who speak Germanic based languages call it Easter. That’s because there was a pre-Christian festival at the same time, the church just kept the name in order to convince people Christianity wasn’t so different from their own traditional spirituality. And then they forbade the original spirituality on pain of death. It’s debated whether there was a Goddess named Eostre in Anglo Saxon terms, or whether she was a pre-AS indigenous deity. What’s is known is that April was Eostremonath. It may be related to Ostara who was an Austrian deity of the dawn, also related to Aurora and Ausrine.

GA/FL

Medicine has a term – Oestrous/Estrous cycle – related to this, but that would be a latin word. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrous_cycle

thetinfoilhatsociety

The word comes from Greek ‘Oistros’ meaning gadfly or frenzy. Same sound, completely different root. But in a way does sound a lot like April with mating, trees blooming, plants shooting up, etc.

GA/FL

Pollination!

NebraskaFilly

Depends on which version of the Bible you are reading. I will ask this question again: WHICH Bible is the correct Bible???? Everyone has their own beliefs and we must not forget: ALL are translations by fallible human beings.

GA/FL

Only the KJV uses the word, Easter in that one verse.

nikkichico7

Happy Resurrection Day GL/FL …. could you please cite chapter and verse for the Easter reference in the King James Bible …. 🙂❤️

nikkichico7

I found this …
Easter in the Bible? Translation Error! – Life, Hope & Truth

But Tindal [Tyndale] and Coverdale used the word Easter, and hence it has very improperly crept into our [King James Version] translation” (Albert Barnes’ Notes on the Bible, 1798-1870, comments on Acts 12:4). New King James Version. The New King James Version of the Bible was translated over a period of seven years and was completed in 1982.

Gail Combs

I perfer the older King James Version (mine is from 1960) I have read some of the newer versions but they just do not sound right to me. Not as ‘Majestic’

nikkichico7

I like the King James Bible too, I read the NKJ, it’s a little easier for me. ❤️

GA/FL

Acts 12:4
Only the KJV versions use Easter in the translation.
Compare: https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Acts%2012%3A4

Cuppa Covfefe

Luther’s 1545 translation uses it too, as a synonym for Passover. Going clear back to Exodus 3:33.
Most of the modern “translations” have gone very PC, to the point that GOD is often not referred to as the Father. And the NIV has managed to excise around 16K words (a few chapters, no less), along with its propensity to gender-mainstream things. Sad, because it is a beautiful rendering, but when that many words are cut, I can’t advocate it.
Nice feature of BibleGateway is you can bounce around between the various translations.
But also remember to pray, that the Holy Spirit leads, and helps to understand the Word of GOD.
Have a Happy and Blessed Easter! and HAPPY EASTER (or Gesegnetes Osterfest) to everyone.
As is common (and sometimes frustrating) in the linguistic world, words grow and change with the culture using them. And, in the case of the term “Easter”, it has come to mean the Day of Resurrection of our LORD and Saviour JESUS CHRIST. Praise GOD! The Triune Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of GOD.
Seems the lowercase gods and goddesses only exist as idols, which is all they ever were…

nikkichico7

Thank you GA/FL, I like bible gateway … you can really move through easier, I just found the drop down arrow for the Bible books, gets you where you want to go quicker … 😃👍❤️😉

Deplorable Patriot

Technically, he feast is the Paschal something. Easter is the western word. DOesn’t really matter in the end.

GA/FL

The Bible still manages to have power to ‘read us as we read it,’ to be used by the Holy Spirit to convict, convert, encourage, comfort, enlighten, guide, bring to grief, heal grief…. it must be accompanied/translated/empowered by the true Holy Spirit to give it life and purpose.

GA/FL

The Bible can also be abused, misused, distorted by fallible human beings.
Such as the alphabet pansexual activists who have decided that Ruth and Naomi, David and Jonathan, Jesus and John were ‘gay’ couples. They are reading Scripture through the lens of their own proclivities and agendas.

Jan Phillips

Amen, GA/FL!!!

nikkichico7

Amen t3 … wonderful post God bless you always, and everyone here … you’re all such a blessing and I appreciate you … ❤️

Happy Pascha to all who are celebrating.

We do need to do something about the differences in the Julian and Gregorian calendars.

kalbren2r1

“We do need to do something about the differences in the Julian and Gregorian calendars”
Deplorable Patriot here is a great resource to do just that: https://aroodawakening.tv/biblical-hebrew-calendar/. This does tie the calender types together.
This ministry teaches the Scriptures, the return to the roots of our faith and why the “front of the Book” is needed for our understanding of the “Words in red. ” We have learned a lot from this ministry. There are practices they do on TV we don’t agree with, but content is good. As others say, “It’s like eating a chicken, you digest the meat and throw out the bones.”

kalbren2r1

Michael Rood has over 40 years of research and multiple sources. He correlated manmade calendar to God’s Biblical Feasts. Very informative and eye opening teaching.He has a YouTube channel too. As not much for free on the website.

Deplorable Patriot

Something like that. There was a chance to do it in the last ten and the cardinals shelved it as being “too confusing” like we the sheep of the flock really are too dumb to understand it or something.
where have you heard that before?

trumpismine

God Bless you all and may you feel the Love of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Happy Easter!

How dare Gov. Huckabee take offense at April Ryan’s threat to behead his daughter. /sarc

Yep, she has lost it. She really needs to think about her behavior and have enough humility to repent and apologize.
.

ladypenquin

I want to see her out of the WH Press Corps. Now that the Muller millstone is gone from POTUS’ neck, he should stop taking some of these arrows – by accepting them, it enables bad behavior to continue.

Gail Combs

Since it is the WHITE HOUSE press Corps. It seems to me ANY Media that has incited VIOLENCE against the president OR his followers should have their press passes REVOKED PERIOD.
THIS is NOT FUNNY, given the acts of violence against Trump supporters.
You can start with the ONLY reporter I know of who has been harrassed and that is Tucker Carlson nad his wife.
Then there is the Rap Sheet: ***639*** Acts of Media-Approved Violence and Harassment Against Trump Supporters from a year ago.
And the shooting spree at the Republican baseball practice by a Democrat.
The attack on Rand Paul by a Democrat neighbor that broke seven ribs.
The train derailments by ANTIFA link 12.18.2017
Followed about a month later by the attempted derailment of the train carrying GOP members of Congress to a West Virginia retreat,
From Kit Daniels @ in*fo*war
“…..The train was apparently operating on the CSX’s North Mountain Subdivision track, which was slated in 2006 for a “modern signal system that utilizes electronics, electric code, and radio technology.”
….a study by German cybersecurity researchers who warned that train warning signals could be compromised to cause collisions.

“The flaws were exposed by German whitehat security researchers SCADA Strangelove, who have previously looked at security flaws in green energy systems and smartgrids,” Popular Science reported. “One problem is that some switches require constant access to the internet, and if that signal is lost the trains stop automatically. More embarrassing, for one of the train systems they looked at there were still default passwords associated with admin accounts, leaving access to the system wide open.”
“…While trains can’t be commandeered and stolen like other vehicles, there is still plenty that can go wrong if a malicious attacker takes control, with delays at a minimum and train-on-train collision as the scarier risk.”

Now tell me again about the ‘attacks’ on Democrats… Do you mean like the attack on Jussie Smollett?

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep. And here in “Beautiful Downtown Deutschland” they are converting double (and multiple) trackage to fewer tracks as fast as they can. And outsourcing the signalling to other vendors, such as British Rail (or whatever they’re called this week) who have had numerous problems of their own.
And don’t even get me started on Stuttgart 21, where they are moving the entire, HUGE Stuttgart main station underground, in hopes of erecting many high-rises on top of the site, when no one wants to spend the money to build… They’ve taken a head-end station, cut it by two-thirds, made it a through station (cutting even further) and saying they’ve made it more efficient…
If brains were dynamite, these idiots couldn’t blow their nose, heck, they couldn’t even sneeze…
A good conference to follow is the CCC conference every year (sort of like Black Hat). They test things, including voting machines (yep, they figured out $oro$ is a shill, as are his “companies”), automated controls (including cars), and “new tech”, such as 5G and the various access controls. For those who read German or have access to a translator app, http://www.heise.de is a good site… (leans WIDE left, though) (as they all do – silly cone valley disease)…

NebraskaFilly

Hmmm……interesting…I can’t verify this since I refuse to traffic with the Clinton News Network and he didn’t provide a link. Still….bear in mind, this guy is a big skeptic about PDJT. This is just a short excerpt – there is much more allegedly from CNN in the article.
“If the least trusted name in news is saying this, what exactly does that imply? Well, it implies that there are huge problems for Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah, aka Barry Soetoro, because he and his criminal administration are implicated in pretty much everything leading up to the 2016 elections. And now designated fake news outlet, CNN, who has been lying to the American people and the world for decades, is even saying, “Mueller’s report looks bad for Obama.”
CNN reports:
The Mueller report flatly states that Russia began interfering in American democracy in 2014. Over the next couple of years, the effort blossomed into a robust attempt to interfere in our 2016 presidential election. The Obama administration knew this was going on and yet did nothing. In 2016, Obama’s National Security Adviser Susan Rice told her staff to “stand down” and “knock it off” as they drew up plans to “strike back” against the Russians, according to anaccount from Michael Isikoff and David Corn in their book “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump”.

Ooops – there is a link but it won’t work for me. It is apparently in their Opinion section.

Churches and hotels in Sri Lanka have been bombed this Easter morning. Reports of at least 50 killed. Many prayers for our brothers and sisters there, and around the world on this holy day.

TatonkaWoman

Will this get the same coverage as NZ?

GA/FL

NO! The Media doesn’t care about, but instead despises Christians!

ozzytrumpster

You kidding? Does the phrase “nothing to see here” mean nothing.
There will be no wallowing in strident, ostentatious grief
There will be no barf inducing grovelling to Islamic sensibilities.
The general message will be that perhaps the victims provocked the attack by a. Existing or b. Historical offences

Sylvia Avery

That twerp, Brian Fallon who was one of Hillary’s henchmen during the election, is behind the effort to prevent Kavanaugh from lecturing at George Mason University this summer.

wheatietoo

The Donkeys are such sore-loser Loserfarians.
😠
I think they are vilifying and persecuting Kavanaugh so that they can declare his rulings ‘illegitimate’ or ‘invalid’.
They are evil and never give up.

Sylvia Avery

I expect you’re right. I know you are right about the fact that they’ll never give up. Ever.
Strangely enough, it looks like George Mason may not be knuckling under to Brian Fallon and his fellow soyboys. It sounds like Kavanaugh may be able to lecture there.

pgroup

If it was me, I’d rent a hall big enough for the number of students enrolled and send invitations to each of them. The invites would say:
“This is the course that I was going to give for credit at the U. Since the enemies of free speech have prevented it, I thought you should have the opportunity to learn the course material (albeit without credits). Looking forward to seeing those aspiring lawyers who want to learn. ”
Brett K.

Gail Combs

NOTHING strange about it at all. It comes down to $$$$$ and President Trump’s E.O. about freedom of speech in Universities that want grant $$$.
Seems George Masons Univsity’s ‘integrity’ is for sale to the highest bidder.

Grants | George Mason
https://www2.gmu.edu/admissions-aid/financial-aid/types-aid/grants
Grants do not require repayment. George Mason University participates in several need-based federal and state-funded grant programs….

Here is a partial listing of some of the grants:
http://business.gmu.edu/partnerships-grants/grants/

Klimoski and Colleagues Receive a Grant from the HHS Office of Research Integrity
NSF Awards Funding for Cybersecurity Partnerships for Local Governments
Mason Awarded Funding to Develop Model for Cybersecurity Breaches at a Federal Agency
National Science Foundation Awards Mason to Develop CISO Core Competencies
National Science Foundation (NSF) Awards Innovation Teams at Mason
IBM Awards Mason Funding for 3,000 Electric Power Companies

A multidisciplinary team of George Mason University professors is partnering with IBM to research imminent advancements in the electric power industry, changes that will challenge cybersecurity for the more than 3,000 electric companies in the United States. IBM selected the multidisciplinary team, including representatives from the School of Business, the Volgenau School of Engineering, the Center for Infrastructure Protection and Homeland Security, and the School of Public Policy, to receive a prestigious Shared University Research Award. [Probably includes FEDERAL $$$$]

That was a good episode of Watters World.
Diamond & Silk were practically hyperventilating they were so fired up!
I will see if I can find a video of the whole show.
Found this in the replies to that tweet:comment image

It’s weird when people who should know you avoid you! And it’s super weird when those who don’t know you can’t stop being in your personal space! 😂
I kept asking God why?…and I heard “because people see me in you and those who know you (Anna) feel guilt if living in guilt! But those who are seeking me will find Me (God) because if people know Me (God) they will never feel that (guilt)from you… They will feel refreshment!”
Happy Easter!❤️

Happy Easter, Drillerwife!!!

So I also feel lead to share this since we seem to get each other! ❤️ A man came in with his son… I knew he had been drinking… after all it was a beautiful day… they had a driver and it just seemed they were enjoying each other… the man kept asking me to hug him… and I looked at his son and he shrugged… his father picked up on it and said “you have good energy! I know I’m drunk! But we all have picked up many things… now we just have to learn how to live like we are free and happy… I know I’m fucked up! But I can tell you’ve embraced your f’d upness so I need another hug!”😂
Everyone wondered if I’d have tomorrow off since “I’m a Christian” and I’m sure I’d do much better in the workplace vs church!❤️
So let’s be who God has created us to be no matter where we are at!❤️

Watters World show from Saturday night, 04/20/19.
His opening monologue is quite good; Jesse delivers a strong, hard-hitting defense of our President.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUfg4OmlJbw&w=645&h=355%5D

GA/FL

Such a contrast between Fox/Watters and Brian the liar and Mad Maxine the impeacher on MSNBC, who don’t make any sense – just spewing propaganda without any basis in fact/evidence.
It’s getting worse and worse. Their minds are so far from facts, science, logic, evidence that it makes Watters and Carlson’s TV work exposing the illogic and fantasy of their beliefs so easy.
Right before the 2008 or 2012 elections, some young gay-sounding guy was standing in front of my post office collecting signatures for a Democrat petition. I told him I did not want to be associated with the Democrat party…in any way, shape, form or fashion! He was shocked, since the capital city is a liberal stronghold….but with many outlying conservative towns and counties.

Gail Combs

“…. He was shocked,….”
That is because they live in an echo chamber and any Conservative Voices have been shouted down and bullied into silence for years. Fredom of speech? BULL SHIT! Not if you want to keep your job or your customers!

GA/FL

His job might have been a temporary lighting place while waiting for the defense and approval of his doctoral dissertation….or waiting to get into a grad program, or some such thing.

GA/FL

But you were so kind to encourage him! :8-)

The tomb is empty, I tell you. He’s is not there. Our Lord is gone. I saw two angels there at the head and foot of where they laid his body. They asked my why I was crying and I told them. I turned and looked around, there was what appeared to be a gardener standing there. I asked him if he had taken Jesus’ body somewhere, to please tell me where it was. It was then we saw each other and he said “Mary”! It was him! I could not stop holding him, but he told me to let him go as he had not yet ascended to his Father and his God, who is my Father and my God yet. He told me to leave and tell all of you.
And so it begins. Redemption for all who believe.

Jan Phillips

Aaaaaaaamen!!!!

Deplorable Patriot

My favorite Resurrection Gospel reading. St. Luke the Evangelist Chapter 24:1-10. Women were tasked with telling of the Resurrection. I can just see the angels, “Yeah, you’re looking for Jesus?” Angel looks at his/her fingernails. “Yeah, he’s not here.”
[1] And on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared. [2] And they found the stone rolled back from the sepulchre. [3] And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. [4] And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold, two men stood by them, in shining apparel. [5] And as they were afraid, and bowed down their countenance towards the ground, they said unto them: Why seek you the living with the dead?
[6] He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto you, when he was in Galilee, [7] Saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. [8] And they remembered his words. [9] And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. [10] And it was Mary Magdalen, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles.comment image

Deplorable Patriot

Unfortunately not singing this setting this morning. It’s much better than the one we’re using by default.

Deplorable Patriot

This is a bit stylized, and the Latin is brighter than we sing it on this side of the pond, but this says Easter. Below is a direct translation, not the text we actually sing.

Ye sons and daughters of the Lord,
the King of glory, King adored,
this day Himself from death restored.
All in the early morning gray
went holy women on their way,
to see the tomb where Jesus lay.
Of spices pure a precious store
in their pure hands these women bore,
to anoint the sacred Body o’er.
The straightaway one in white they see,
who saith, “seek the Lord: but He
is risen and gone to Galilee.”
This told they Peter, told John;
who forthwith to the tomb are gone,
but Peter is by John outrun.
That self-same night, while out of fear
the doors where shut, their Lord most dear
to His Apostles did appear.
But Thomas, when of this he heard,
was doubtful of his brethren’s word;
wherefore again there comes the Lord.
“Thomas, behold my side,” saith He;
“My hands, My feet, My body see,
and doubt not, but believe in Me.”
When Thomas saw that wounded side,
the truth no longer he denied;
“Thou art my Lord and God!” he cried.
Oh, blest are they who have not seen
their Lord and yet believe in Him!
eternal life awaitheth them.
Now let us praise the Lord most high,
and strive His name to magnify
on this great day, through earth and sky:
Whose mercy ever runneth o’er;
Whom men and Angel hosts adore;
to Him be glory evermore.

Jan Phillips

Amen, Harry!! Happy Easter!!

Molly Pitcher

Happy Easter to everyone.
So glad to have this blessed refuge to be among friends.

churchmouse

I hope you had a marvellous Easter, Molly.
We, too, feel the same about ‘this blessed refuge … among friends’.
I believe it was divine providence that worked through Wolf to open the Q Tree to us at just the right time.
‘Blessed refuge’, indeed.

From reddit:
Signs are pointing to an Islamic Terrorist group – National Thowheed Jama’ath:
“Police chief Pujuth Jayasundara sent an intelligence warning to top officers on April 11 setting out the threat. A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the National Thowheed Jama’ath (NTJ) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian High Commission in Colombo,” said the alert.
“Earlier today, Brahma Chellaney, an analyst with Centre for Policy Research in New Delhi blamed little known Muslim group, National Thowheed Jamaat on Twitter for the bomb blasts that claimed the lives of 138 and wounding 400 on Easter Day in Sri Lanka.
“The terrorist bombings in Sri Lanka have put the spotlight on an Islamist group, Thowheed Jama’ath, which includes Syria-jihad returnees. Foreign intelligence had warned Sri Lanka that Thowheed Jama’ath planned to bomb prominent churches and the Indian High Commission (Embassy).”

Mohammed’s hordes conditioned to sociopathy. There is nothing holy about Mohammed’s religion. Nothing holy whatsoever.

Gail Combs

Mohammed’s religion went NO WHERE (converted 150 in 13 years) until he added JIHAD, that is conquest, pillage, rape and enslavement.

What is Islam?
Islam is a cultural, religious and political system. Only the political system is of interest to kafirs (non-Muslims) since it determines how we are defined and treated. The Islamic political system is contained in the Koran, the Hadith (the traditions of Mohammed) and his biography, the Sira. [the Trilogy]…
2. Political Islam
Political Islam is the doctrine that relates to the unbeliever, the kafir. Islam’s relationship to the kafir cannot be religious since a Muslim is strictly forbidden to have any religious interaction with them The religion of Islam is what is required for a Muslim to avoid Hell and enter Paradise.
The Trilogy not only advocates a religious superiority over the kafir—the kafirs go to Hell whereas Muslims go to Paradise—but also its doctrine demands that Muslims dominate the kafir in all politics and culture. This domination is political, not religious.
As mentioned earlier, the Koran has 61% of its text devoted to the kafir. The Sira (Mohammed’s biography) has about 75% of its text devoted to the kafir and jihad.
Islam’s success comes primarily from its politics. In thirteen years as a spiritual leader, Mohammed converted 150 people to his religion. When he became a political leader and warrior, Islam exploded in growth, and Mohammed became king of Arabia in ten years.
Islam has a complete doctrine of how to treat the kafir that is found in the Trilogy.
3. Kafirs
Non-believers are so important that they have several names. Christians and Jews are called People of the Book or infidels. Other religious names for non-Muslims are atheist, polytheist, and pagan. But the Koran uses one word that includes all of the religious names. That name is kafir, an Arabic word.
Kafir is usually translated as unbeliever, but that translation is wrong. Unbeliever is a neutral word. The Koran is very clear about the kafir. Indeed, the Koran defines the kafir by how it speaks of them. Kafirs are the lowest and worst form of life. Kafirs can be robbed, murdered, tortured, enslaved, crucified and more….

From 8chan:
Anons, came across this excellent blog post with 5 very valid questions about the Mueller report.
1. Who leaked the Flynn-Kislyak conversation to the press?
2. Why were no Obama-era intel officials interviewed for a report supposedly about Russian interference in the election?
3. Why were Russian Lawyer Veselnitskaya’s meeting with Fusion GPS before and after the Trump Tower meeting omitted?
4. Why no mention of bias and untoward behavior of investigators removed from the Special Counsel?
5. How can it be that the “hacking” of the DNC server was never investigated?

5 Key Items Missing From Cub Scout Mueller’s Partisan Op-Ed

NebraskaFilly

As for #1, #4 and #5: #1: VDH, I believe, said that leak came from the NSC – think Susan Rice and the unmasking. #4: Possibly because of upcoming charges? As for #5, this bothers me a LOT – Barr appears to be accepting this BS from CrowdStrike – that is very worrying, IMO.

Thanks Wolfmoon!

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

OK – this is Akismet fronting for the left – I can’t do anything about it. It’s anti-Q / anti-Trump activity that I simply cannot stop.
(1) The first one was an 8chan image. On the excuse that chan images might be porno, they block them as spam. Remember what Q said about memes? Yeah. Memes are important, and what they do to STOP certain memes is to act prejudicially against the source.
(2) This was a link to Doug Ross Journal – directorblue.blogspot.com – these links just throw things into spam prejudicially.
I’m going to just warn people that the three things that get sucked into the spam bucket (long political with links, chan images, directorblue and similar blog links) will not appear immediately. The only things which fix this problem break the site’s “free speech security” model, and won’t even be considered.

Nor'easter

Thanks for that info. Got anything on a work-around?
Word of the day: AKISMET
Akismet is a spam filtering service that filters spam from comments, trackbacks, and contact form messages. The filter works by combining information about spam captured on all participating sites, and then using those spam rules to block future spam. Akismet is offered by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akismet
https://akismet.com

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

You could try disguising the links to certain sites that get “eaten” repeatedly by using URL shorteners, though I suspect that Akismet tests those short URLs.
For memes, you can download them and reupload somewhere else, or use Google image search to find OTHER locations for the same image.

Nor'easter

Thanks. We’ll figure this out!

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes, there are very likely people gaming it from the outside, and sympathetic people on the inside who decide not to do anything about it.

Gail Combs

Nor’easter,
When I had a lot of problems, usually with links, I added * into the link to fool Akismet
Such as:
*http://the*in*conve*nients*keptic.*com/a*bout/
I would also take a long post and cut it into shorter segments.
It is a royal pain in the neck but it seemed to work.

Nor'easter

Thanks Gail.
I can’t tell what Akismet/WP will allow until I click “Post Comment” (if it disappears, that means did not “allow”).
I watched Word(un-im)Press go from allowing me to post a pic from 8ch by itself to putting it in moderation, then allowing the post with text add (i.e. “Try again”), to not allowing anything from 8ch.
I copied and pasted the text from 8ch re:Doug Ross, plus the link to the article, so I wasn’t sure what triggered WP.
Notice that Akismet/WP had no issue with links to their site! 😉

We could de-activate the link with an asterisk attached at the front. Would that help it to evade the censoring Akismet? (Is that an Islamic word?)

Kismet… A Kismet… reminds me of “a tisket, a tasket, I had a little basket”…
A musical based on the music of Alexander Borodin.
Some of the tunes (ok, melodies by Borodin, words by someone else) are:
Musical numbers
Act 1
“Sands of Time” – Imam of the Mosque
“Rhymes Have I” – Hajj and Marsinah
“My Magic Lamp” – Marsinah†
“Fate” – Hajj

“Baubles, Bangles and Beads” – Marsinah
“Stranger in Paradise”* – Caliph and Marsinah
“He’s in Love!” – Chief Policeman, Second Policeman, Prosecutor, Three Princesses of Ababu, Akbar, Assiz, Caliph and Omar
“Gesticulate” – Hajj and Wazir’s Council
“Bored”† – Lalume[5]
“Fate” (Reprise) – Hajj and Ladies of the Wazir’s Harem
Act 2
“Night of My Nights” – Caliph and Entourage
“Stranger in Paradise” (Reprise) – Marsinah
“Baubles, Bangles, and Beads” (Reprise) – The Caliph
“He’s in Love!” (Reprise) – Entourage
“Was I Wazir?” – The Wazir of Police, Policemen and Guards

“Ceremonial of the Caliph’s Diwan” – Diwan Dancers
“Presentation of Princesses” – Princess Zubbediya of Damascus, Ayah, Princess Samaris of Bangalore and Three Princesses of Ababu
“Finale” – Ensemble and Hajj
Sounds ISLAMIC to me…

“…to put out Easter eggs…”
That triggered a fond memory.
When I was an officer’s wife in Germany, just before Easter I bought cartons of eggs and dyed them. I also bought foil wrapped chocolate eggs and other wrapped candies. My ex-husband and a couple of other officers who were friends got up before dawn and scattered the eggs and other candy around the barracks compound.
Then at dawn, my Ex roused all the enlisted guys to ‘Police the Area’ Lots of grumbling until the first shout of “HEY I FOUND AN EASTER EGG!” Then there was a mad scramble to clean up the area. 🤣
I did something similar for Christmas, making a stocking for each guy and stuffing it with candy. Late Christmas eve, my Ex hung each stocking on the guys doors.
Remember these were mainly 18 and 19 year olds away from home for the first time and in a strange country.

I was really humbled…).
Not sure of your musical interests (rock vs. opera, etc.), but have you heard of Jan Peerce? GREAT tenor, who also did Broadway shows (e.g. Fiddler). He did some songs which are striking, and though I could only grasp the words because they are similar to German, the songs were very moving.

Happy Easter all!
This morning on the CTH, SD is up to his old tricks with “who’s in the redactions.” It drives me nuts, because he makes assumptions that names fit, and plugs them in, without making the font, size, or kerning (space between letters) work. He did the same thing with “Crossfire Hurricane” names. It appears again in today’s article, which speculates about the “scope memo.”
SD states the the second redacted name is Michael Flynn, Jr. I have worked in it in Photoshop, and it DOES NOT fit. I am going to try to post it here to show you what I mean. It does look like the second name must end in Jr., Sr. II, or something. I have been unable to find a Trump associate whose name will fit into the second redaction.
If this image shows up, you can see what I mean about the name not fitting. This paragraph has been justified to align both the right and left text to the margins. The name Michael Flynn is not quite long enough to justify to the right edge.
I don’t know if General Michael T. Flynn, which does fit, is correct, but I tried all the other “suspects” and his is the only name I found which would fit the blank.
I hope this works. If not, I will try again.

Aubergine

Okay, trying a different way.

Aubergine

This is odd. When I generated this image, the type in the blanks appears bigger than it did before. How strange. Trying again.

Honestly, the more I look at it, the more I think General Flynn’s name doesn’t fit either. Trying to “fill-in-the-blanks” with these redactions is a treacherous game. I don’t think it is very helpful, more confusing, which is why I am posting all this here. I want others, who may be reading OT, to see how deceptive this can be before forming opinions.

singingsoul

I thought it is against the law to investigate a person whee there is no known crime?
They can go Stalinesque and “show me the man and I find the crime.”
These people need to be held accountable including mueller and Rosenstein who overplayed his hand.
I do not think DC knows what honorable is, they said Comey is honorable and they said Mueller is honorable. These people are the opposite of honorable.

Looks like TMS Roman 12 versus 11 or 10.
I think the best thing is to pray that GOD metes out HIS Perfect Justice, and puts an end to the swamp.

Seems that the folks way back then didn’t realize the correct answer is “As Many As GOD Wants”…

George Papadopoulos fit anywhere in that? What about Carter Page?

Aubergine

Papadopolous doesn’t fit. The second name has a bit on the next line, suggesting a “Jr.,” “Sr.” or something, so Carter Page is out, I think. This is not as simple as SD is trying to make it.

Pat Frederick

does Donald J Trump Sr fit?

Aubergine

Sr. will not fit, with the period included. The ‘S’ makes it too big. However, Jr. fits fine:

Early on ‘StealthJeff” aka Brian Cates aka Draw and Strike suggested Jeff Sessions recusal saved President Trump from the DemonRats. (Note how they are STILL trying to whip the dead Obstruction horse.)
He also suggested Sessions was busy hunting the hunters. (I still think Rosenstink STINKS.)

Sessions & Rod Rosenstein warned everybody to stop the leaks of classified information at the press conference where they both announced the formation of a new FBI leak hunting unit.
But nobody takes those guys seriously….
They could’ve gone public with this indictment of Wolfe at any time over the past 4 months. They’ve had him cold for awhile now.
Why did they wait until NOW to spring the trap, go public and have him do his perp walk and court appearance?
I’ll tell you why I *suspect* they waited until now.
The release of the DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General’s [OIG] much anticipated Hillary Clinton Email Report was the ‘go’ signal for unveiling the Wolfe indictment and the start of the rolling up of the leak network.
Do you remember what the FBI’s entire original investigation of Hillary Clinton was about?
It was about the massive EXPOSURE OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION Clinton caused by setting up a private homebrew server to get away from required gov’t oversight.
Ever since Trey Gowdy’s House Oversight Committee stumbled over the existence of Hillary’s illegal private server, DNC Media & Dem partisans have used every single trick in the book to try to pull your eyes off the ball.
The classified information she exposed.
Are you ready for a new wrinkle? I’ve studied the Clinton’s since the 1990’s. They are all about selling power, selling access, pay for play. They power and information brokers.
Who wants to bet there are emails/docs showing Clinton & cronies leaking classified information?
There was a REASON both James Comey & Andrew McCabe sat on the Weiner laptop for 3 weeks and didn’t breathe a word about it until the NYPD forced their hand.
Washington DC was allowed to grow into a massive leak culture. The laws were not enforced so power & information brokers with security clearances made bank & got favors based on trading the nations secrets.
If you think HILLARY CLINTON & her top people were not playing the leak game, you don’t know these people very well.And they left a paper trail….
….After oh-so-very-carefully setting their canary traps and barium meals for the last year, Sessions & Co. are now ready to start rolling up the leaking networks that were SUPPOSED to cripple and paralyze Trump’s administration
They didn’t want to just catch ONE leaker or TWO. They took their time, you see.
They went slow.
They watched these people.
They took very careful notes.
For almost a year.
They know who the leak brokers are, which reporters they use, which comms shops handed out $.
Just last November, Jeff Sessions said there were TWENTY SEVEN ACTIVE LEAK INVESTIGATIONS ongoing at the FBI.
Do you think Jeff Sessions just blows smoke?

http://money.cnn.com/2017/11/14/media/leak-investigations-jeff-sessions/index.html
“Finally, here is what I want to tell every American today: This nation must end the culture of leaks. We will investigate and seek to bring criminals to justice. We will not allow rogue anonymous sources with security clearances to sell out our country any longer.”

That’s exactly what these leak brokers are: rogue political operatives with security clearances.
Well they better watch their backs.
There are serious, well trained counter intelligence agents looking for them. These are not people I would want looking for me….

Sri Lanka has now “turned off” access to portions of the internet. The names of the mooslims who did it and the organization is out there already. This is damn evil. Familues may be searching for each other and its Easter!!!!!
Extremist violence has once again prompted Sri Lanka to put a halt to social media in the country. The government has instituted a “temporary” ban on social networks, including Facebook, WhatsApp and Viber, after a string of apparently coordinated bombings that targeted churches and hotels on April 21st, killing over 200 people. Udaya Seneviratne, secretary to Sri Lanka’s president, described as an attempt to “prevent incorrect and wrong information” from spreading in the wake of the terrorist attacks.

The Christian persecution we read about in Scripture and history books is not a thing of the past. It still exists. Today, in the 21st century, we are living in a time when persecution against Christian believers is the highest in modern history. According to Open Doors’ 2019 World Watch List—an in-depth investigative report focusing on global Christian persecution—persecution is increasing at an alarming rate. Research for the List indicates that each day, a staggering 11 Christians are killed for their faith in the top 50 countries ranked on the World Watch List.

From OT. sd is still convinced that certain ideas make twins out of different people. He states:
“This level of overt corruption, and corrupt intent within the special counsel, is one of the many reasons why Rosenstein apologists and the ‘trust the plan’ crew should be collectively slapped across the face with a cold fish.”
What the heck is wrong with sd? I haven’t heard anybody recently posit that RR is a white hat. I have read long ago where sd posited that certain dirty people would be advised to get an attorney and then hear “the ultimatum” about sitting quietly and then jump when told to jump, etc.
Why is sd so convinced that RR isn’t under the jurisdiction of the ultimatum speech? He sure looked like a prop during the Barr press conference, which is what I would expect from a blackmailed participant.
Do I have to turn the other cheek if I am slapped with a cold fish? Yuk.

….May 17th, 2017, Robert Mueller was assigned as special Counsel. Then, the FD-302 report was re-entered on May 31st, 2017, removing the header; paving the way for Mueller’s team to use the content therein.
This level of overt corruption, and corrupt intent within the special counsel, is one of the many reasons why Rosenstein apologists and the ‘trust the plan’ crew should be collectively slapped across the face with a cold fish.

Gail what happened today at OT..?
I occasionally swim at OT and yes group think is allowed. OT was better when people were able to share different opinions.

None of us are identical nor should we be. It would be very boring if we were. I just do not ‘GET’ the intolerance for the ideas of others as long as civility is maintaned. As a QC Engineer, I used to have to do ‘Brain Storming’ sessions and trying to get people to chime in with different ideas in a public setting was like pulling teeth. So for me shutting down the free exchange of idead in a civil setting is…. Shocking.

Lumping all Q followers and even Q himself into the “Trust Rosey” boat is all wet, and frankly dishonest.
I started calling Rosenstein “Radium Rod” VERY early on, and have NEVER let up my suspicions. Even when Rosey got that ride in AF1, I figured it was “enemy at the gates”. YET I’m a Q follower, and actually find Q’s more intentionally uncertain position on Rosey PREFERABLE to Sundance’s or my own. Why? Because Trump had to thread the needle of a “corrupt but untouchable Rosenstein”. I could sit here and speculate very strongly and (IMO) accurately as to Rod’s dirty plan, and I also had confirmation of DOJ secretly driving bad orders b/c of my interactions with local feds and their minions – nothing of which was admissible.
(And who in the FUCK do you go to anyway, when the DOJ and FBI are corrupt? Wray? “Please hop on a plane and rescue me from your crummy locals!” Sorry – doesn’t work that way. The man was doing the best he could with the massive task at hand, and until BARR was on the job, there was no possibility of reining in “Crooked Untouchable Rod”.)
Unless we have Rosey ON TAPE with a plot to game Trump’s entire FIRST TERM (and maybe the second) with endless fake scandal mongering, he was very safely cocooned in a PLOT that was almost airtight. The LAWFARE was strong. The Soviet Prog Democrats have a very good thing going with their little LAWFARE game.
All Crooked Weissmann and Crooked Mueller had to do was keep up their Crooked Theory of Obstructing Nothingburgers, and Trump would have been in trouble for all 4 years. But instead, Trump did a MIRACULOUS SIT_OUT (wrestling move) and gained advantage with Barr. NOW the tables turn, but it was not easy. The other side are cunning and devious.
Let’s be honest here – was Trump going to ADVERTISE that he was going to dump Sessions and swap in Barr? I think not.
*I* (COUGH) trusted the plan to have a few fucking secrets.
What really happened? Sundance caught on to the reality and played bad cop on Sessions and Wray. Some of us saw the same damn thing and decided to play GOOD COP. If WE get slapped with a cold fish, somebody slap Sundance with boiled octopus for not trusting that Trump’s legal team knew exactly what in the XXXX they were doing, as reported with predictable distortion by .mil psy-op insider Q, and some of us figured out that Trump dumping Sessions didn’t actually mean Sessions was a shithead or a Deep Stater, and we did not have the TEMERITY to rag on a guy we KNEW was honest, but pinned down and playing weak ON PURPOSE.
Sorry – rant over! 😉

100% RR is a black hat, IMHO. AND, is under “conform” until dismissed. This at least since the wear a wire stuff came out.
Surely he has been told by more than one that if he bails to soon, he’ll pay a steeper price. He was in on this hoax since before SC created.
He is being forced to at least be minimally even handed. The alternative is the wrath of the legal system.
All of that said, he really needs to pay bigly for the travesty he has allowed to happen…SC…Mueller and his criminals sledge hammer use of the “law” against people…manufacturing process crimes…destroying peoples lives, stripping wealth through folks paying legal defense costs…reigning hell on President Trump, his family…turmoil in the States & Americans lives…negatively impacting foreign diplomacy as other leaders banking on President Trump not lasting his four year term…collectively the attempted coup.

“… In a sane world, he would never have been elected to anything and would have been exposed long ago!…”
It is ironic that it was OBAMA who was elected BECAUSE THE KGB influenced our elections!

The KGB utilized Willing Accomplices to spread the message that America was an evil, racist, imperialist war- monger and that Communism was a benign, noble experiment designed to rid the world of corruption, oppression and injustice.
Covert Influence Payload
Babette Gross, wife of KGB agent Willi Muenzenberg, explained the content of the Soviet payload to Stephen Koch:
* You claim to be an independent-minded idealist.
* You don’t really understand politics, but you think the little guy is getting a lousy break.
* You believe in open-mindedness.
* You are shocked, frightened by what is going on right here in our own country.
* You’re frightened by the racism, by the oppression of the workingman.
* You think the Russians are trying a great human experiment, and you hope it works.
* You believe in peace.
* You yearn for international understanding.
* You hate fascism.
* You think the capitalist system is corrupt.
This payload exactly matches today’s PC-Progressive message. The message that Soviet covert operators propagated through American Willing Accomplices. The Willing Accomplices, wittingly or unwittingly, spread the anti-American message. And this message bloomed and grew into the pernicious set of taboos and strictures that we call PC today. It is important to note that Soviet espionage simply planted the seeds of PC. The seedlings did not need continued communist cultivation. The Soviets’ American Willing Accomplices nurtured the anti-American message in universities, newsrooms, and in Hollywood.
After the payloads were planted, the vast majority of the communist intelligence operatives met the fate of most stooges of totalitarian thugs—violent death at the hands of their comrades. ….
In 2008, PC blossomed into full flower. In a spasm of PC-induced guilt, America elected our first anti-American president, who did not hide his disgust for normal Americans. Obama is the first president to apologize repeatedly for America’s sins against foreign countries, and to speak disparagingly against the country that elected him. Obama’s cool, detached Elite attitude, loathing the “bitter clingers” of the heartland, is a living testament to the power and success of Muenzenberg’s covert influence operations….

That’s a little out of date, Steve. A few years later, they found out that the pieces they used for that test came from a site on the shroud that had been burned in a fire around the 1200s and was replaced. So that test was from replaced fabric. A really close and careful look at the fabric piece made that apparent. A new test showed that the old part of the shroud did date to the time of the crucifixion. Plus, it had pollens on it from the Jerusalem area and used a weave that was used at that time. There have been a few videos of this. The more that unfolds about the shroud, the more I think it’s real.

ForGodandCountry

1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”
6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

Long thought that it would prove God isn’t real, “science” is instead well along the path towards proving God is real.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

A few years later, they found out that the pieces they used for that test came from a site on the shroud that had been burned in a fire around the 1200s and was replaced.

Simply not true. There have been no more recent radiocarbon datings. People have gone over the original 1988 results and called them into question.
(I am unable to find any actual reference to actual radiocarbon dating other than the 1988 runs.)
The Oxford lab, one of the three that did the test, insists that the weave of the sample was identical to the main part of the fabric. They still stand by their 1988 report.
Even if invalidated, all that would be accomplished is to show the shroud is of the right age, not that it was necessarily Jesus’s burial shroud.
But if there’s really an issue, it should be possible to simply run the test on a different part of the shroud and thereby shut the naysayers up. The technology has improved to the point where it’s possible to work from VERY small samples; however, they will have to come from well inside a fiber given the thousands if not millions of people who have touched the shroud since it first appears in the historic record in the 1300s. (That circumstance alone makes me suspicious of it, by the way. This item supposedly had been around for 1300 years and there was NO record of it? How could the knight who first attested to it possibly have known it wasn’t a fake? There’s no chain of custody.)

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

…Never mind, I found some reference to the 2013 stuff. It’s apparently a different method of dating from radiocarbon dating.
However, the reference I found does go on to say that the archbishop who has custody of the shroud does not himself accept the results of the 2013 work, claiming that there’s no reason to believe the samples they were working with actually came off the shroud. A claim which, to be honest, raises a lot of questions in my mind, not all of them favorable to the archbishop in question.

Tonawanda

A sincere suggestion: if interested, look for the analysis of the data from all three universities which suggests fraud. I read it several years ago and will look for it later, but you might find it in the meantime. I think it might actually be a video on YT.
IIRC, the analysis pointed out numerous logical/factual inconsistencies and impossibilities with the whole procedure, and particularly examined the chain of custody which was the genesis of the fraud.

Tonawanda

This should surprise nobody, but the leftist universities which did the three datings have been credibly accused of producing false results. I am not going to look for it now, but there is an article/video which meticulously goes over the recorded data from the universities and shows how the results were fraudulently obtained by people who absolutely understood the “devastating” impact of a result which showed the age to be circa 33AD.

Tonawanda

I believe the facts are more complicated (including the possibility that the radio carbon datings were manipulated to get those results, as well as other shroud-related facts relating to their reliability).
The Shroud is very interesting and fascinating to me, as it should be to anyone who has a curious mind, because no one yet has been able to explain how the image was made, despite the very strenuous effort of many skeptics to do so. No one can come close to duplicating the image, although using highly sophisticated techniques a beautiful three dimensional head and face can be made based on the “information” in the shroud and only on the shroud.
What piqued my initial interest was the fact that the shroud is a “photographic” negative, a fact impossible to discover until the 19th century. How did a 13th century person do that, but more importantly WHY would they do that?

Deplorable Patriot

Umm, the 1988 carbon dating includes fibers that were rewoven into the original Shroud by well meaning French nuns in the late Middle Ages. It’s a technique one of my grandmother’s aunts used to know. So, that particular carbon dating was skewed. Of the four samples sent off for analysis, the closer they got to the center the older the date was.
Since then, the Shroud has been taken off of the backing, and was cleaned. Scientific tests give us information that two specific pollens were there that ONLY occur in Israel/Jerusalem together in March/April. Another carbon dating was done with only original fibers that puts it at 1-70 A.D. Tiberius was Emperor when the Passion happened, and it was on the eve of Passover which puts the date at 30 or 33 A.D., whichever one had the eclipse. According to the math it was 33, smack dab in the middle of the less famous carbon dating.
Prior to being called “the Shroud,” it was known as the Mandylion of Edessa and was stolen from the eastern Churches during the Crusades.
The more we learn about the Shroud, the more the cries of “it’s fake” begin to fade.

Tonawanda

I read this more than three years ago, and have not re-read it since (will do so soon).
But I remember thinking at the time that the accusation of fraud was plausible, if speculative:
https://theshroudofturin.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-case-for-fraud-in-1988-radiocarbon.html
I will have to re-read to recall the strong and weak points.

John 6:68 – Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
John 11:43 – Jesus spoke Lazarus back to life and out of the grave. He spoke Peace be still to the waves. His command contained life and authority and effect to create and govern matter.

Acts 20:32 – Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Hebrews 1:3 – English Standard Version (ESV)
3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and <b.he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high…

7. Mueller uses that meeting as an excuse to confiscate and search all of Eric Prince’s phones and computers. crooks and liars STINK

From my notes:
Oct 2016 – An NYPD insider said the content they viewed did include State Department TOP SECRET emails. One file was called “Life Insurance”. The second email was titled “DNC Nuclear arsenal”. A third file, I’m sure Hillary definitely DOES NOT want released was a file labeled “Intimate” … according to this NYPD insider, this file contained x rated photos of Huma and Hillary with a TEENAGER.
NYPD detectives were sickened by what they saw, according to our insider, and they have threatened FBI field agents that they would leak this information, if the FBI did not “step up and take off the kids gloves”. At that point, 13 of the FBI agents in NYC are also threatening to leak the information…
“The amount of garbage that they found in these emails, of criminal activity by Hillary, by her immediate circle, and even by other Democratic members of Congress was so disgusting they gave it to the FBI, and they said, ‘We’re going to go public with this if you don’t reopen the investigation and you don’t do the right thing with timely indictments,’” Prince explained.”

I pray, pray, pray that it all sees the light of day. This kind of sick, twisted corruption is the Augean Stables of US politics.

I certainly hope someone in the NYPD kept a copy of that laptop.
Remember that Q says we have it ALL
AND
AG Jeff Sessions had the most child sex trafficking/porn busts in the history of the USA.

grandmaintexas

Me too. And to think that Rod Rosenstein approved an investigation on Sessions, his own boss.

“At that point, 13 of the FBI agents in NYC are also threatening to leak the information…”
Right. And then they sat on their thumbs and watched while NOTHING was done and Comey let Killary off!

Just wanted to wish all of you a Happy Easter! 🙂

Has anyone seen this “Easter worshipper” thing on social media? Long story short, the Democrats and fake news are using the term “Easter worshipper” in reference to the Sri Lanka attacks instead of using the word “Christian.”
In short, THEY REFUSE TO SAY “CHRIST.”
How very, very revealing.

“Easter Worshippers”??? Huh~~ I went to Mas today and worshipped…..GOD! JESUS! on Easter Sunday…Who worships “EASTER”? O is showing his Muslim understanding of Christianity–Shrillery–is showing her Satan worshipping side… SHEESH!

Gail Combs

Actually it is rather NASTY to call them “Easter Worshippers”
Why? because Easter was originally a pagan festival. The word Easter is of Saxon origin, Eastra (or Ostara), the goddess of spring, in whose honour sacrifices were offered.
The Easter hare or bunny is Eastra companion symbolizing fertility.
So calling them “Easter Worshippers” is actually calling them worshippers of Eastra the pagan goddess of spring. I am also sure it was done out of SPITE. Also notice the term is as usual used by all.

Commiies ALL Gail!! I need a baby goat video to wash the bad taste out of my mouth… THese Traitors can’t even JUST KEEP MOUTH SHUT on Christian’s HIGHEST HOLY DAY!

Deplorable Patriot

I’m headed to Adoration later, which is a form of worship. Why would it only be done on Easter?

Deplorable Patriot

What’s driving me nuts is that the brand of Christianity is not specified. Not that I can’t guess.

CBS’ show Madam Secretary episode description in TV guide – UN Delegation attacked by group of anti-globalist terrorists who oppose climate migration treaty
So now People against globalism, migration, and climate change are terrorists?? What Propaganda on network TV!! Geez, all the people watching this crap getting brainwashed, no wonder we have so many snowflakes!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

wheatietoo

Thanks for that report, Butterfly.
It’s good to know what the forces of darkness are up to.
Yes…Propaganda, indeed.
The globalist puppetmasters who own the networks have got their puppets at work, trying to demonize all of us who oppose their evil plot to enslave us!

bflyjesusgrl

I admit I watched it years ago when it was new and actually enjoyed it. I had no clue until POTUS got elected what they had been doing. They got more blatant about SJW and globalist storylines that I couldn’t stand it anymore. They even had Cankles make a guest appearance 🤢. (Fortunately that was AFTER I stopped watching, couldn’t have stomached that!). To see that description in the guide is sick. They’re not even being subtle anymore.

wheatietoo

The fact that they are not being subtle anymore, suggests that they are desperate to demonize us.
It’s looking like Q is right…they are in a panic.

I watched it occasionally only because it was on right after one of the NCIS shows, which I always record. I have my DVR set to record for 3 hours over in case of delays and what-have-you. I watched it a few times only because of that but it has been quite some time.
Speaking of falling for propaganda, at work today I talked to two older people who are absolutely convinced the biggest danger our country faces right now is…….wait for it……white nationalists! One woman tried to insist that all the Islamic attacks (Sri Lanka, specifically) were really done by white nationalists so they could tarnish Islam. After a bit of back and forth about the Quran, etc,, I finally just said “You and I cannot discuss this any further since we will never agree.” She asked me one last question: where are you from/where have you lived? Kind of like I’ve never been off the farm insinuation. Shut her up when I told her I spent over 30 years in NOVA in the defense contracting industry after serving 3 years active duty in the Army at the Pentagon! Take that, you ignorant beyotch!
A guy who is one of our regular coffee-drinkers/smoozers tried the whole nationalist = Hitler/Nazis and claimed there is a huge number of white nationalists in our country. According to him, PDJT stated himself that he was a white nationalist, and I, of course, set him straight. I also reminded him that the Nazis were the “National SOCIALIST Workers’ Party.” He didn’t stick around to chat! LOL

A week ago I watched NCIS Los Angeles. I have always liked that show, but it is starting to come apart at the seams. They have a new hijab wearing Muslim agent now, and the plot of last week’s show involved awful old guns and an immigration extremist rally. Oh yeah. I’m ALWAYS hearing about anti immigration rallies, and I bet you guys are too. Oh, and there was mention of the latest bug bear, “white nationalists.”
And then I watched the last episode of The Blacklist. Raymond Reddington has a faithful sidekick, Dembe an African. This episode Dembe was struggling with a moral issue and so off to the mosque he went. After praying he and the imam strolled around the mosque with the imam schooling him on some nuance of SHARIA law and jihad.
I nearly projectile vomited. And here’s the thing. Neither of these shows are going to attract SJW types. No way. That’s not their audience. But then they insert these dumbass plots into some of the few shows that might appeal to conservatives????
GAH!

Personally, if I need a dose of brain candy of that variety, I’ve been on an old movie kick. Well, and classic TV like Black Sheep Squadron and the old Friday night babysitter fare I used to watch when I was doing that.

I was pleased to read in the Omaha World Herald today that we have around 4000 Yazidis living in the Lincoln area. There was a story of a very impressive young woman who just by chance was not present in Sinjar, where she lived with her family, when ISIS rolled in looking for sex slaves. She tells of how their neighbors turned on the Yazidis and told ISIS where the prettiest Yazidi women lived, the men were gathered up and shot.
She and her family made it out safely, then came here to join her brother, who was here attending college. She is going to college, working at a fast food place. Her father died a year ago and there are no trees in the cemetery so she and a group of supporters are going to plant 400 trees this spring. She also travels to various schools and tells the students about what happened to them.

Hi Churchmouse! :8-)

Hi there, GA/FL!
I’m still reading … 🙂
Hope you and your family had a blessed, happy Easter!

GA/FL

Hi dear Churchmouse. I’ve noticed you scurrying around in the archives day after day and wondering if you were ok, needing some alone time, too busy to catch up. Hope all is well with you. Easter Blessings and Joy to you too!

churchmouse

Thank you, GA/FL — much appreciated.
I’m fine, thanks, just very busy lately and, after I spent a week reading about Brexit, it took me the same amount of time to catch up here.

GA/FL

I forgot we have to share you with your own country and its issues – and whatta mess beautiful England is in. Please stay safe. The Lord be with you.

churchmouse

Thank you, friend. 🙂
