It's a typo for "circum-schism," which was a schismatical sect of ancient Sumarians who believed the Earth is circum-navigable with a hot-air balloon. They were ostrich-sized by the Sumarian Great King Nuzzybullahtuttifruitti and fled to Egypt, where they failed in their attempt, not due to lack of hot air, but rather due to lack of inventing the balloon.

Fun fact.

"Ostrich-sized"

I giggled over this. Don't judge me.

The Father of us all is God. This includes the angels, many of whom rebelled and departed with Satan. Speculating on the reasons why is foolhardy.

I have no "need to know."





As they say, it is what it is.

Prosecutor Chris Conroy also cites Donald Trump's comments at his event this morning where he spoke about tabloid publisher David Pecker, in which he said that Pecker was "nice."

FYI, you still have a dead team going in the RHP fantasy football, maybe next year either play or remove your team?

Perhaps the manager, you know, the guy running the game, could remove my team?

Shocked it hasn't happened already.

Voices in Canada would tell you that U-turns are illegal in most Provinces. 🙂

Maybe I've had my license too long but I am not making a u-turn if I see a Police car. 🙂

I've never driven in Canada.

We would need criteria for finding "good" or even "best".

Since his departure the Forum certainly became more silent.

Probably because no one is feeling the need to defend himself from his attacks, you know, since he hasn't been here.

… FMF

It seems pretty clear to me that FMF is gone for good since his bereavement. And whether you loved him or loathed him it is also now clear that he was without doubt one of, if not THE best poster in the two forums he frequented; General and Spirituality.

Thoughts?

When you are this obsequious, you should seek to offer proper form.

Your forehead should actually come into contact with the floor.

You're welcome.

You first, anti-American.

Trump's people are pressuring NE to change how their electors vote. In most states, it's winner take all, but in NE, electors vote proportionately (some voted Biden, some voted Trump last time, same as the Cornhuskers themselves voted). Trump's people figured out that every EC vote counts, so they are pressuring NE to adopt the winner-take-all system. It's gerrymandering with a different name.

And yes, the EC should have been abolished a long time ago.

Yep, I also heard this about Trump trying to influence the election in Nebraska.

Same old playbook.

The nuances of translating the Greek New Testament.

The following is from this source https://concordiatheology.org/2021/11/five-things-new-testament-translations-dont-want-you-to-know/

1. The Devil Has a Father? (Jn 8:44)

In John 8:44, Jesus says of the devil, ὅταν λαλῇ τὸ ψεῦδος, ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων λαλεῖ, ὅτι ψεύστης ἐστὶν καὶ ὁπατὴρ αὐτοῦ. The ESV renders this, “Whe ...[text shortened]... egarding John 8:44? It does make a hell of a difference, when it comes to the Devil, and his father.

No, I am not contributing to this.

It is all specious speculation.

then why were the Nephilims so tall ? Ezekiel 32:27 states that the outer space aliens came down and mated with the Human hot babes who they found were attractive. The their offspring had ALIEN DNA ! thats why they were so tall. Also Genesis 6.1.4

The Nephilim were the offspring of the fallen Watchers (who were angels) with human women.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephilim

Likewise, the Book of Ezekiel is also not about aliens or spaceships.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Ezekiel

No alien DNA needed.

Genesis 6 is the beginning of the story of Noah, and why God brought on the Flood.

Man, posting at night around here is like talking to yourself in a morgue.

Judaism for gentiles. (They don't have to refrain from eating pork or circumcise their sons.)

Yes.

I'm not willing to grant the nihilist Nietzsche any credibility, though.
