Useless trivia

Prosecutors in Costa Rica said they have arrested a man and four women who posed as nuns to accept donations for false charity clinics, but used some of the money for trips and other purchases.


Randall Zúñiga, the head of the Central American country’s judicial investigative agency, said the five claimed to represent a missionary order of nuns and recruited and abused novices.


The novices weren't paid, never were able to take their vows as nuns, and were sometimes forced to dress up as medical personnel to fool authorities, who gave the charity government money.

A German man appears to have suffered no ill effects after being vaccinated 217 times against Covid-19, against medical advice.

The Lancet Infectious Diseases scientific journal published an account of the "hypervaccinated" man's bizarre case this week.

The Magdeburg 62-year-old "deliberately and for private reasons received 217 vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 within a period of 29 months"

The Idea of America Lives in Americans

No new party is needed, but what do I a U.S. citizen know. Well, anyways what the U.S. does need is talk and listen to each other for the common good of us like this astute Senator points out while announcing she will not run again for reelection.

RE: What is this new "PREMIUM?"

I dunno.

I didn't have enough information to work that out.

Having deliberately used up your 10 PM's in a short space of time (was there ever a nerdier set of messages in my inbox) you're in a better position to work that out and report back to us.

RE: Evidence that Scripture is Divine

It's a good blog, on a topic worthy of discussion and debate, but that’s not the OP's intention sadly.
I will say one thing for reflection. It is difficult to make an accurate prediction or prophecy but it is not difficult to make a prophecy come true.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

And I need a savior. And the good news is that Jesus is a savior who forgives our sin, washes us clean of our sin. There's also a savior who heals. And Jesus can do what no one else can. Jesus can heal the soul. He can give you a new spirit. He can give peace to a troubled mind. And rest to a weary soul. Like Aaron. We love to blame everyone else for our issues and when we do when we refuse to take ownership of our own sin.

We give up the opportunity to be forgiven and we give up the opportunity to be healed of our sin. So if you're Aaron right now. Let me encourage you to stop giving other people power over your life. Give Jesus power over your life, you'll be astounded by what he can, do. You will be astounded by what he can restore, even if you feel like you're starting 10 laps behind everybody else, you will be astounded what God can still do in your life.

Verse 8 /24. And I said to them, whoever has any gold, let them break it off, so they gave it to me and I cast it into the fire and the scarf came out. We talked about the foolishness of that last week.

Now, when Moses saw that the people were unrestrained for Aaron had not restrained them to their shame among their enemies in the Septuagint, the word scattered or unrestrained sorry, the words scattered is used instead of the word unrestrained or even naked. As some of your Bibles will say, the idea is that children are misbehaving and then mom or dad walks in the room. Moses arrived back at the camp and suddenly, instead of naked revelry, they were all frantically grabbing something to cover themselves up and scurrying back to their tents in shame.

And however it happened, word of all this reached the surrounding pagan communities who thought it was absolutely hilarious.

Instead of being the feared nation who had your way on their side, Israel was the laughingstock of the whole region, at least temporarily. Verse 8, 26, that Moses stood in the entrance of the camp and said, whoever is on the Lord's side come to me, and all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him and he said to them, thus says the Lord God of Israel, let every man put his sword on his side and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp and let every man kill his brother, every man, his companion, and every man his neighbor.

So the sons of Levi did, according to the word of Moses, and about 3000 men of the people fell that day. The Old Testament is packed with physical pictures.

Of spiritual truths, physical pictures of spiritual truths, you see, we read something like this and we think, oh, that's that's terrible.

But here's the sobering reality, it's justice. And I know that some of you are thinking, well, that doesn't seem like justice, Jeff, but what are we saying when we say that? What are we saying when we say that doesn't seem like justice? We're saying that we don't believe the punishment fits the crime, right? We're saying the punishment is disproportionate to the offense. What's the offense in this instance? It's rebelling against the God who miraculously freed you from slavery in Egypt.

It's going back on your promise to follow him that you made only a few weeks ago. It's spitting in the face of God whose very presence is visible in front of you at that moment in the form of the cloud upon Mt. Sinai.

That's the offense. This is God we're talking about. It's got. Sinning against man is in no way comparable to sinning against God. The God of all creation, your maker, your savior, sinning against God is deadly serious and we're seeing that pictured here physically in Exodus 32. I please hear me on this because I know this is still difficult for some of us to grasp, but if this seems harsh to you, then you have not yet grasped the seriousness of sin.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

There's a parenting angle in here that really craps it cracks me up to get that out. OK. And there's a parenting angle in here that really cracks me up. It's like when somebody else is telling a parent about their child's poor behavior and the parent is like, well, you know, just don't be too harsh on them. I mean, remember, kids are going to be kids. They're going to do dumb stuff.

But then when that same parent actually catches their kid being a little jerk, their reaction becomes, I am going to murder you when we get home.

It's easy to be gracious and patient when you're not face to face with your child's own wickedness.

Right. That was Moses. When he's up there with the Lord, he's like, oh, Lord, don't let your Rathburn hot. But then when he saw what Israel was doing with his own eyes, we're told that Moses, his wrath burned hot and he was furious.
I'm going to kill you guys. Verse 8 /21.

And Moses said to Aaron, what did these people do to you that you've brought so the greatest sin upon them? So Aaron said, do not let the anger of my lord become hot. You know, the people that they're set on evil for, they said to me, make us gods that shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him. Aaron's response is to blame, get this.

His response is to blame the culture. His environment. The people around him. You see, even today, thousands of years later. Our culture believes the most ridiculous thing. It believes that people are inherently good, and the only reason everybody isn't good.

The only reason anybody has any issues is that their parents weren't good, and their parents had issues. Their culture wasn't good, their community wasn't good. But if we could just get people to be raised in a good environment around good people, then people would be good.

What's the problem with that reasoning? Well, in the words of our brother, Paul, here's the problem. There's none righteous, no, not one, there is none who understands, there is none who seeks after God, they've all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is none that does good. No, not one. The only perfect parent is our heavenly father, the rest of us, no matter how hard we try, are going to pass on some junk to our kids.

We just are we're going to mess up and slip up in ways that are going to profoundly affect our children, no matter how hard we try not to.

Yes, how and where you're raised makes a huge difference in your life. Huge, I'm not debating that. I'm just saying it's not the only piece of the puzzle and it's not the only reason for our issues and problems.

And I'm saying that even if you had perfect parents and were raised in a perfect world.

You'd still send. You still said, how do I know, because Adam and Eve did. And when Jesus reigns on the Earth for a thousand years during the millennial kingdom, there will be generations who are born into a world where things are right and Jesus is king.

But at the end of those thousand years, a group of those people who were raised in that environment are still going to side with Satan for one final rebellion. Aaron says it was the people, it was the people. To be a Christian. To be a follower of Jesus and receive the gospel. Means that we have to to humbly raise our hands and say, it's me, it's me. At the end of the day, it's not my parents that are making me send.

It's not my community that's making me send. It's not my past trauma that's making me sick. The issue is that I'm a sinner. I'm a sinner and need a savior. And the beauty of the church is that even if you had the most awful childhood imaginable. If you look next to you. You'll see someone like me who had a wonderful upbringing, but I'll be raising my hand to. And I'm right next to you also saying my issue is that I'm a sinner.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

And what is going on here was God really about to destroy Israel, did God change his mind because of Moses's appeal? No, not at all. Listen, the Lord knows the future, nothing, nothing takes them by surprise. Check out these verse is there on your outline. Malikai three six declares For I am the Lord, I do not change.

Therefore, you're not consumed. Oh, Sons of Jacob. So when God made those promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, he knew what the future held.

Numbers 23, 19. God is not a man that he should lie, nor a son of man that he should repent. That means change his mind. He doesn't change his mind because he's not a person. He's not bound like a person is to not knowing the future, has he said. And will he not do or has he spoken and will he not make it good? So what's going on? Why does God do this and why is it in the Bible?

Well, our brother Paul tells us this also on your outlines, whatever things were written before.

In other words, all the Old Testament scriptures were written for our learning, for our learning, that we threw the patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

So the question is, what does the Lord want us to learn from this portion of scripture? And I suggest the answer is your first fill in. The answer is that we can petition the Lord.

That means we can make requests of the Lord, we can petition the Lord and intercede for others based on his promises.

We can bring our request to the Lord and we can pray to the Lord on the behalf of others on the basis of the promises of God. And when you take a step back and look at Moses conversation with the Lord, you can see that God is teaching Moses that he's a God who keeps his promises. He's teaching Moses that he can come before him on the basis of the promises he's made in the past. He's teaching Moses that he's a God who's faithful to his word.

And you can stand upon his promises as a sure foundation.

And I can tell you this, if you haven't learned this truth yet, God is working on teaching it to you right now. He's working in your life to prove to you that he's faithful and that he can be trusted.

It's one of the most foundational truths of the Christian life because it opens your eyes to the reality that God is a firm foundation. You can build your life upon him.

He's the rock of ages. Verse 8 15. And Moses turned and went down from the mountain and the two tablets of the testimony were in his hand, the tablets were written on both sides, on the one side and on the other, they were written.

Now, the tablets were the work of God and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tablets. These, of course, are the two tablets of the Ten Commandments written by the finger of God himself, verse 17.

And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, There's a noise of war in the camp. But he said, It's not the noise of the shout of victory, nor the noise of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing, I hear.

So it was as soon as he came near the camp that he saw the calf and the dancing, so Moses, his anger, became hot and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.

Then he took the calf, which they had made, burned it in the fire and ground it to powder. And he scattered it on the water and made the children of Israel drink it.

Moses comes down the mountain and he finds the children of Israel amid this massive pagan party engaged in pagan worship rituals that were really just an excuse for all kinds of perversion, worshiping the idol of a golden calf.

And Moses is, he's furious.
He slams down the two tablets of the law, breaking them on the ground. Moses, his reaction, whether he realized it or not, was a prophetic act that showed what Israel had just done. They had broken the law of God in a catastrophic manner.

RE: The Idea of America Lives in Americans

Nothing new then.

Seriously though Grand ,America does NOT need another O.A.P running the country especially one as controversial as Trump.

Confused.com springs to mind for both of these men and in a country of over 334 million it beggars belief that these 2 are the only candidates.sigh

RE: The Idea of America Lives in Americans

And your point is?
If he been back and forth Michael Moore, that can happen to the best of us, but at last he ended up supporting the only one worth supporting.

I'm glad for any support of this great cause of less death and destruction around the world and less of the same there at home in that great nation too. You see there is nothing wrong with the people of the USA, they are all underestimated. But they got bad leadership, as in many another sad cases around the world as well. Ukraine and Gaza comes to mind at the moment. So a change to the better is most welcome: Donald J.Trump. The best. Never been a better leader in the Unted States of America.
If you like his character or not is less important. What are his policies, you gotta ask yourself.
I can tell you: they are great!

Yes, the cases will be there after the election as long as the majority of you have the sense to not let Trump back in.

It'll come down to the election, I've thought that for a long time.

Now I'm beginning to realise how fine you might be cutting it and unfortunately, legally I only have room for one of you should you need to leave.

RE: Let us never Forget the Boston Massacre and lead forever England the oppressor.

Your opening post is not quite accurate to be honest. We didn't attack you ,the onslaught was from your side.

May I suggest you get your facts right before placing blame.






The riot began when about 50 citizens attacked a British sentinel. A British officer, Captain Thomas Preston, called in additional soldiers, and these too were attacked, so the soldiers fired into the mob, killing 3 on the spot (a black sailor named Crispus Attucks, ropemaker Samuel Gray, and a mariner named James Caldwell), and wounding 8 others, two of whom died later (Samuel Maverick and Patrick Carr).
