Sheepdog 13 (Retired)

The interesting part in this study is it confirmed claims made by Johnstone about the 1988 carbon dating test that is the only thing ever used by people who claim the shroud is fake. Points scored for him. Hiding the methods and flaws of that study for three decades, which required legal action to unseal, would lead a jury to find problems with that test.

@OldRetSheepdog @25_cycle @paulogia0 You didn't even bother reading the paper; it literally says that their experiment does not agree with any subsequent dating done on the Shroud, so they need further confirmation of their findings. Also, your analogy to a jury shows you don't really know how history works.

If the Shroud of Turin really is Jesus’ burial cloth, why not sacrifice an inch for transparent carbon dating? What kind of faith values preserving fabric over winning souls?

@CVanDutch @paulogia0 Nope. Addressed by Johnstone. And this. There’s more out there.

@OldRetSheepdog @paulogia0 Everything you said is a lie. youtu.be/AVLjeByCmdw?si…

@4nd3250n @paulogia0 Trollbot. Could it at least be programmed to say a believable lie?

@OldRetSheepdog @paulogia0 FACT CHECK There is absolutely no evidence that Shroud of Turin is from that era. Evidence shows that shroud was made in 14th century.

@KurtSchlichter Judging by the fallout, he was the perfect choice to murder. Makes him something far more special than just “podcaster”.

He was important enough for one of your allies to murder him

Who can they trust? Have you heard of any of the other tests, including the most recent (below), that point towards authenticity or only the fallout from the one carbon dating scam? If the current wealth of evidence was given to a jury they would find it authentic. But so few even know all that evidence exists.

@OldRetSheepdog @paulogia0 Then why can't they commission new tests? I guess they're afraid the money will evaporate when exposed as a fraud.

@Dragonflynda @Aella_Girl Difficult enough to get them to acknowledge just the giants. I can only imagine when it comes to the rest.

@OldRetSheepdog @Aella_Girl By the way, a lot of ministers are coming up to speed on all of this and struggle with how to address it with their people. I have had conversations.

in christianity, do new demons get created? As the human population has exploded, presumably the human-to-demon ratio is now skewed. Or did god make extra demons with population growth in mind? If so could we estimate our future population based on total demon numbers today?

@Dragonflynda @Aella_Girl I probably should’ve guessed that.

@OldRetSheepdog @Aella_Girl I’ve read it, went to his conference on the book and know him.

@Dragonflynda @Aella_Girl Check out Timothy Alberino. I think he’s right up your alley. His book “Birthright” was fascinating. Three great interviews with Michael Knowles. I think he may also be in an upcoming documentary from Mike Cernovich.

@wil_da_beast630 Name it after one of the gambling games. The Las Vegas Craps.

Gamblers. Just admit what THIS is.

@HabitualLinest @NealOrsburnShow @TomorrowsWar The reason Jesus met with Moses and Elijah on the mountain was so they could finally see His face. He walked by both in the Old Testament but they were not to see His face yet.

@NealOrsburnShow @TomorrowsWar Stop right there Jesus IS God You don't get to claim otherwise

The Protestant doctrine of Sola Fide refuted in one image. It wasn't enough for the Israelites to simply believe God would protect them. They had to physically apply the blood to the doorpost. Without the act of obedience that faith remained "dead"

The criminals crucified beside Jesus highlight this. One mocked Him. The other defended Jesus, saying He was innocent but the two of them got what they deserved. That criminal then calls Jesus Lord and asks to be remembered. Jesus said he will be in Paradise with Jesus. Jesus did not remove that criminal from his cross. And that criminal likely had his legs broken soon after the conversation.

This is a good point There's been a big denial in "modern" Christianity of the temporal effects and consequences of sin. They want to pretend that when Jesus forgives your sins, that everything is perfect and back to square one. They want to believe they are consequence-free from their past That's not how it works. Jesus forgives the ETERNAL punishment due for sin. He doesn't eliminate the TEMPORAL punishments and consequences of sin. You WILL pay the temporal punishments due for your sins. Either through penance and good works, or through punishment here on Earth or in Purgatory, or both You don't get away from the temporal consequences of sin

@wil_da_beast630 Great choice.

Told my boy I'd read a book about muscular Christianity.

@MarcLobliner @AFpost The article also mentions a series of racist assaults with no further details on those. She pled guilty to assault. Attached video kept locking up. Fantastic clickbait headline.

@AFpost I’m all for the right to say any word, but I think the kicking and biting cops part was what did her in

A former University of Kentucky student who was sent to jail for drunkenly saying the n-word has been denied early release and will serve her full one-year sentence. The judge reasoned that early release would “unduly depreciate the seriousness” of the crime. Follow: @AFpost

@Cernovich @HonorAndDaring Wonder who the “pedestrian” victims were.

This is the kind of bullshit people have to deal with. Druggies everywhere. Filth. But if you have a job, the LAPD will find a way to squeeze you for more.

@JesseKellyDC At ballpark prices? Young me couldn’t have afforded it.

Maybe I’m overstating this because we all tend to think more highly of our younger selves than we should. But I think young Jesse could have blown through this challenge with ease. Now? No chance. But 22 year old Jesse? Cake.

@DesireeAmerica4 Look at the officers. When one becomes a cop one loses the right to be out of shape. Reality is tools don’t always work. Always need to be prepared to go hands-on when they fail.

Why does it feel like tasers literally never work anymore? ​A guy in the Ozarks just took a direct hit, absorbed 50,000 volts like it was his morning coffee, and casually jogged away into the night. ​The officers are out here doing their best, but they are working with gadgets that act like they were bought off Temu. ​At this point, just bring back the old-school form tackle.

I’m also rolling by with Dennis Prager’s explanation for the Third Commandment. He explains the wording was “do not carry the Lord’s name in vain as you will not be found guiltless.” In the context of the time “carry God’s name in vain” meant to commit evil in God’s name. It is the only Commandment God says He is not willing to forgive when violated by stating “will not be found guiltless”. Violating the Third Commandment is not emptying a name of power. It is trying to make evil good. m.youtube.com/watch?v=nI8OtO…

I asked Grok about this and here is the reply I got. So what this video is saying would be a falsehood. - The post shares a video transcript arguing that "Jesus" is a nickname like "Jackie" for "John," not the original Hebrew name "Yeshua," which means "Yahweh saves" and was used by Jesus's contemporaries. - Biblical scholars confirm Yeshua as the Aramaic/Hebrew form, transliterated to Greek "Iēsous" in the New Testament, evolving into "Jesus" in English; this distinction appears in sources like the Anchor Bible Dictionary. - The narrative ties this to the Third Commandment, warning that using a non-original name risks "emptying" its power, prompting the author to research further for spiritual authenticity.

This is very interesting. I’m gonna have to do some research on this to find out the real truth. What do you think? **The Name That Was Never His** He leaned into the camera with that familiar Brooklyn edge, eyes sharp, voice steady. “His name is not Jesus,” he said plainly. “Never has been Jesus. Somebody gave him that name.” “Yeah,” he shot back, the way old friends do when they’re about to drop something heavy. “Just like they used to call me Jackie growing up in Brooklyn. My name ain’t Jackie. It’s John. But everybody called me Jackie, so I answered to it. Didn’t make it mine.” He let that sink in. “Now think about it. How well do you really know somebody if you don’t even know their real name? Scripture says His children will know His name. Not a nickname. Not a translation somebody slapped on later. His actual name.” He could already hear the pushback coming, so he met it head-on. “People say, ‘Well, Jesus is just the English translation.’ Nah. That ain’t how it works. Jackie ain’t a translation of John—it’s a nickname. Same thing here. They changed it, and we just kept saying it because that’s what everybody else was saying.” He paused, then delivered the part that lands like a quiet thunderclap. “His name is Yeshua. Which, in today’s English, is Joshua.” The room felt smaller for a second. All those prayers, all those songs, all those desperate cries in the dark—addressed to a name that was never spoken over Him by His mother, never whispered by His disciples, never written in the original tongue. He wasn’t angry. He was disappointed on behalf of truth. “And the commandment don’t say ‘Don’t take My nickname in vain.’ It says don’t take My name in vain. Vain means to make it empty. Meaningless. Useless. So every time we call Him something He never was, we’re not lifting up His name—we’re emptying it.” He looked straight through the lens, like he was talking to one person in particular. “So when you say ‘Jesus’… you’re not using His name at all.” The video ended there, but the weight of it didn’t. It hung in the air like an unanswered question in an empty church. How many of us have been calling on a shadow of the real thing, thinking we were speaking to the Man Himself? And what happens when we finally learn to say the name that was given on the eighth day in Bethlehem—Yeshua—the name that means “Yahweh saves”? Maybe then we’ll understand what it really means to call on the name above every name. Not the one somebody gave Him. The one He was given.

@BasedDavePA Look for the one Hell (and its proxies) attacks hardest.

The reason why I'm at a crossroad with choosing between Catholicism and Orthodoxy comes down to this: Which side has the better historical connection to the Church Jesus founded in 33 AD? Which side is objectively closer to the early followers of Christ and what they believed.
