Enduring wisdom for better living. We overestimate what we can do in a day and we underestimate what we can do in a year.

As I promised in the debate. Here’s the ludicrous $10M boondoggle in Nithya Raman’s district

@billysandytodd The king has come to officially surrender, something that should have happened in 1781, hence the throwback uniforms...

I love that Trump has revolutionary war soldiers for the king. 😆

@TCNetwork Axios: “He left quite an online paper trail and he has been monitored for months. He’s going to try to say this was in retaliation for his resignation, but it’s the other way around: He quit because he’s under investigation and he knew it.”

Joe Kent on being told to stop investigating Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Joe Kent on why we actually went to war with Iran.

Pay attention to who is showing you that they are a Big Tech oligarch stenographers.
People like this guy 180ed their take on Epstein only when their oligarch patrons got outed by recent releases. It is no longer convenient for them, so their lackeys are backing what is now the convenient narrative. He's not the only one, either.
Looking forward to the future cope of how getting brain chips and biometric user verification on X is necessary to save "free speech" because reasons and how using stablecoins on X is so much better than CBDCs.

🚨😳 Things get heated between Joe Rogan and Michael Shellenberger when Shellenberger doesn't find anything suspicious with the Epstein death narrative "Why are you dismissing this? Why are you not letting me finish what I'm saying?”

This man is so upset with his State Farm homeowners insurance that he put a sign in his yard to make sure everyone knew how he felt. “Our house burnt May 13th, 2025 - Fully Insured at @StateFarm, all we have gotten is lies, denies, & delays.” “People pay their premiums…”

@HumanProgress That's because most of what people buy to eat is not really food...
English
75 years ago, 1 out of every 5 dollars a US family earned went to food. Today that's closer to 1 in 10.
A slow, steady, easy-to-miss kind of progress.

1) The seals, trumpets and bowls are the wrath of God poured out on His enemies
2) The church is never mentioned as being on the earth during Rev 6-18, you are reading that into the text but it is not there
3) The whole point of 1 Thessalonians was to comfort the church who were being told that Christ had already returned and that they had been left behind.
4) Paul tells them, no, He has not returned, and oh by the way, they will rise before the living, when Christ returns, and we meet Him in the sky (1 Thes 4:17)
5) Paul then tells the church that they are not destined to receive the wrath of God (1 Thes 5:9)
6) If the church receives the wrath of God, during the tribulation, then that means Christ's suffering on the cross, the wrath of God He endured, was insufficient to save them; they must endure more wrath to be saved. This is heresy.

@thisenduringlif My eisesegis team? 🤣 Aren’t you an adult? Why do you talk like this? There’s no Pre-Trib Rapture in the Bible. I’m not analogizing or mythicizing anything. Dispensationalist forgot they didn’t originate Premil? We go through Revelation 6-18.
English
How inspiring. (Sarcasm.)
And their Pre-Trib eschatology is just as easily refuted. Their professors aren’t allowed to reach another conclusion or they have to leave the school. They have been leading future pastors and missionaries astray for decades.

@Svigel They stood in front of a group of sheep, claiming to be authorities on the book of Genesis, and then they refused to answer the question. Indefensible.
English
These men put on a seminar, claiming to be authorities on Genesis, claiming to know what it says and what it means and then they refused to answer the question that many sheep are totally confused about. This would be like a professor of ecclesiology, teaching a course on the church, and then refusing to define the qualifications or an elder or a deacon. If they are not sure what Genesis 1 & 2 means, or are too afraid of public / donor / institutional backlash to take a position, then they should not advertise a seminar and claim that they know what it means and that they have the knowledge and authority to teach others what it means. I do not understand why this is controversial.
English
@thisenduringlif I know a lot of colleagues who have very clear and strong opinions on the matter. I know others who aren’t sure.
English
I know it’s offensive to say in our culture of radical populism—and the guilty will attack me for it—but perspectives hammered out on the anvil of formal education, accountable research, and long-term experience are still, on the whole, preferable to those of the untaught amateur and the untried immature. Yes, there are exceptions. But everyone thinks they’re the exception. The great majority aren’t. If you love truth, take your time and develop actual expertise in a field. Then engage responsibly.
English
Disqualified from being an authority on the Bible. I do not care what they think Genesis 12:1-3 means if they refuse to take a public position on Genesis 1&2 and a 6 day creation. That is cowardice and fear of man, full stop. I'm not even demanding one interpretation or another, although I do believe there is a correct one. I am condemning the cowardice of refusing to address the issue at all, AT THEIR SEMINAR ON THE BOOK OF GENESIS!

English
I’m not talking about an official DTS position, although it is not unreasonable to expect one. I’m talking about DTS leadership that will assert firm positions on all sorts of controversial doctrinal issues, not to mention eschatology, but when asked how they individually exegete Genesis 1&2 in light of Exodus 20:8-11, they outright refused to answer the question, to a man. That is a problem, and IMHO, a disqualifying event.

@HoaryHead1611 @Svigel John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him.“
So Satan is a father…
English
@thisenduringlif @Svigel They certainly don't marry or have children, and have never been called at any time sons by the Father and God continually blames men and their deeds for the flood. Nothing in Mark 5 changes this.
English
Theology 101: Yes, alas, I believe the sons of God in Genesis 6 are super-celestial beings, and I’m not sure what to do with that, and I know all your objections, but I think our angelology and anthropology need to adjust to the text, and not the other way around.

>They can't f* guide.
>The CEO shall be fired.
>Management can't do its job.
>The worst gold mining company.
That's $BTG sentiment today.
100% assertive, but slogans without substance.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a great quarter, and I expected more. I just want to hear non-emotional, well-informed takes from others, not just me!

@HoaryHead1611 @Svigel Demons most certainly impact biology and psychology, see Mark 5.
English
@thisenduringlif @Svigel Demons don't have sperm Jude doesn't say "left their habitation and then married humans and made halfbreed nephilim!" It just says some rebelled and have chains in Hell waiting for them.
English
Not sure what you mean by "fallen"? Satan had certainly turned from God and to sin when he tempted the woman in the garden. Satan also had access to Job and heaven in a "fallen" state. Jesus says this, Luke 10:18 "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning." Imperfect past tense in the Greek, before the Tribulation.
English
@thisenduringlif @Svigel Also, Satan hasn't fallen yet. He doesn't until the Tribulation
