Should A Covid Stimulus Bill Be Helping Other Countries?

by minimus in

i think it should simply be there to help us citizens.

and besides giving money to other countries, stop giving money to the arts and entertainment..... give money to help taxpayers struggling with debt .

period!!!

Jeffro

Millie210:
JWs do say that, but it completely misrepresents Daniel. The ‘leader’ in that passage was Antiochus IV Epiphanes. But aside from the specifics, the passage indicates the ‘leader’ to be an enemy of Jerusalem and not the same person as the ‘messiah’. Verse 26 says ‘messiah’ is cut off at the end of 62 weeks, not at ‘the half of the week’ as falsely claimed by JWs.
JWs use the same passage to falsely claim that Jesus died in 33CE (counting ‘62 weeks’ from an invalid starting point), which also has no basis in fact. It is more likely that he was born in 4BCE and died 30CE.

Wasn't there also a line of reasoning from Daniel 9:27 about gift offerings to cease at the half of the year. The times being mentioned there was 7 years. and apparently, it had a greater application in the death of Jesus at which time there would be no more need for gift offerings.

Thank you Jeffro, I love learning new things!

Nice reasoning seabreeze - I was like you with my earnest obnoxiousness lol, trying to help people "see".

The times being mentioned there was 7 years. and apparently, it had a greater application in the death of Jesus at which time there would be no more need for gift offerings. That also would place his birth in the fall/autumn.

Beautiful photo

And may I just say that I love the perfect synchronicity of someone named "frozen" starting a thread on the first day of winter?

Happy winter solstice to all

Not very good publicity for the corvid vaccine.

a critical care nurse at chattanooga's memorial hospital bites the dust 17 minutes after taking the covid shot while being interviewed thursday on live tv.

in all fairness, she later said this happens to her often after experiencing pain.

just saying this is not the press the vaccine needs right now.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnzbaclpfs4.

The defensiveness over this is the most interesting part.

April 30, 1993

by pistolpete in

this year was actually “the beginning of the last days for the watchtower.

before this year, there were very few that questioned the watchtower.

they were truly god’s only channel.

I guess it could be said, ironically enough, that the internet fulfilled the scripture in Danial 2 "In the last days true knowledge would become abundant"

Thank you internet.

“He’s Not My President “

it’s already happening .

biden was officially named president-elect yesterday.

i think trump exhausted all of his avenues to keep the presidency.

This thread is why i love you Mins!

You are one classy guy,

The Presidency of the United States is an office not a person. The person who fills that official roll deserves the respect of that office. Some Democrats, not all, well most lol showed a complete and utter lack of respect for this country and its founding principles in their treatment of the President over the last 4 years, They were saying nothing about him and everything about themselves.

Now that the bar for the respect of the country has been dropped so low, we will have to see if the Republicans behave with the same lack of values that we have seen over the last 4 years.

What one does and DOES NOT DO speaks so eloquently doesn't it?
