Mike - would you kindly stop using the u-tube embed function and start using the u-tube link function. The embed video is to large for the forum to handle and screws with the page.

Why is it doing it now? I've always used the embed code. The last two I put up are the only ones that did it like that. I'm using FireFox, and as far as I know, I have not changed anything. I wonder what happened

Me thinks u-tube changed the way video size works in their latest embed codes. It's nothing that you are doing wrong. See the example below. First code is from a smaller size on my computer and the second code is from the same video full sized on my computer. Not the size changed that I've hi-lighted in red boxes. Using the video URL allows the forum software to auto resize to fit the page. The forum can't do that with the embeds apparently. It's a U-tube issue.

I'm tracking with you that our bodies are now the temple...the Bible say so. The connection of ethnic Israel to a temple building is a big sticking point for a lot of evangelicals. But what if the term "Israel" is also defined differently in the new testament to simply include all who image God or all of Gods people to include Jews and gentiles (the church)
Mike Hiser makes some great points here about the term "All Israel" what is all Israel?
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26And so all Israel shall be saved

What we have to do is be very careful about what we believe to be true from here on out. We don't take vaccines so we are not terrified of this virus,ALTHOUGH, this is far different than anything that I have seen in my life,except maybe polio, but I was so young. I actually remember the sugar cube. Oh, Jonas Salk killed his own daughter with the vaccine trial,by the way

I don’t take vaccines. I will not be getting this one. I never get the flu shot. I do remember drinking something sweet in school when I was very young. Polio vaccine I think. As for this bug, I’ve been around it a few times, sans mask. No illness. Tested negative. I might be immune. While it’s bad for some people, like flu or pneumonia is bad for some, for most it is mild. Not a death sentence. The way they’re handling this is baloney but we know why. There’s an agenda.

Arch,its killed a bunch of people around here in my little part of the world. I am hearing that there are more than just one strain of it. I was at two funerals last week. This virus has mutated and its not the same virus that we had last year at this time. Several young people around here, some friends of ours have had it and it was knocking them back something awful. Its almost as killing the old,sick and weak was what it was designed to do, ain't it? Very few older folk have survived it, around here. This time last year, what we were being fed was a lot of bullshit, but right now, its a different animal

I have to agree with Mike. People are dying here from it and now it's people I know . We are being extremely careful and haven't eaten out since last March. My nephew is a doc in TX and has signed more than one certificate with this as the actual cause and my niece in law is a critical care nurse and has see it in action as well when her unit was converted to a ccu for covid patients. .. It is real .... and was in my opinion planned .

Have you noticed the virus seems to really be bad for people overweight?
It appears to me that no matter how long it takes the virus will soon get to everyone. A lot will be so light that they will not realize what they had. The old,overweight and those in bad health are at a very high risk of deep troubles. This doesn't mean others can't have deep problems but it is less.
I'm with most of you that believe this was released on purpose.

Wow! I must be close to the target because I had written out a lot of my thoughts and it disappeared. I'm telling you that I hit nothing!!!! What I wrote disappeared. Damnit. Look, I'm just trying to nutshell this up because I don't want to type all of that again.
People around here are dying, young people that get it, think that they will die. Those they die are old,fat( usually diabetic) or have other underlying conditions. In pre-war Germany, Hilters Nazi government had a way of making those that were a burden on society or that could corrupt the gene pool disappear. The China virus was released on purpose,we know that. Is this the plan within a plan to do something similar? People have been taught through the past 2-3 decades that some kind of visible mark would be placed on the forehead and right hand. What if that mark in not visible, but is some kind of genetic alteration? An alteration that is "caused" (caused does not mean "forced") maybe by a vaccine for some new epidemic. Let me be clear, I do not believe the covid vaccine to be the injection of the "mark" but I go back to the Jonestown massacre where Jim Jones "caused" the deaths of hundreds of poor ignorant people. He would test their loyalty by having them drink koolaid time after time with no consequences,....until there was. They expected the same results the time that they drank the poisoned koolaid, all the while thinking it was just another test. They all died. This what I am looking at as a probable explanation. There are other factors that could come in play,too. It is obvious that there will be some kind association with commerce with the mark. There are lots of places that are saying that one can't do business with them unless you show proof of having gotten the vaccine. I ran across this article this morning and I thought this lady made an interesting point: Storms evokes Old Testament imagery suggestive of a “seal” such as the kind one would press into wax to close an official document, or “of the Roman ruler’s head on coins.” The third beast will initiate economic separation which will force people to pledge allegiance and receive an economic “stamp of approval” or be cut-off from all services: food, gas stations, medical help, etc. Consider the chaos and pain experienced by those who live without the medicines they need or without immediate medical attention in an emergency. Christians will suffer and must be willing to do so because God will allow the beast “to exercise his authority.” During this time, however, “many will come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ” even at “the cost of [...] their life.” The reward will be in the mark that matters most; that is, the writing of their names in the Book of Life. Those who die by the Beast’s sword will live eternally in heaven for they are the ones “who were inscribed in the book of life before the world began.” This is the relevant mark for Christians, blotting out any tattoo Satan might cause us to wear before our temporal lives come to an end.
Will Only Christians Suffer?
When it comes to the final tribulation in which rebels are beheaded, will it matter to Satan if those rebels choose Christ over him? Jesus said, “He who is not with me is against me” (Matthew 12:30). In other words, worshiping another god is the same thing as saying “yes” to Satan. Helping a Christian, on the other hand, might change things “for whoever is not against us is for us” (Mark 9:40). Does that mean a person can be “for” Christ without knowing it? Imagine what it would take to stand up to Satan and help a Christian during this time — can one do so without the power of Christ? I don’t know the answer to this. Meanwhile, many “so-called” believers will show their true allegiance during this time. Craig Keener explains that Satan’s challenge to Christians could be a subtle prod to their “stubbornness” — do this simple thing and you won’t die. That is frightening enough, but Keener further asserts that “the same spirit of the self-deifying empire remains in every human heart that seeks to make itself the center of life while burying thoughts of its own mortality.” Satan won’t have to work hard to trap his victims given our propensity for “self-deification.” We won’t have to be tempted to sacrifice to another god; only to ourselves. In essence, what defines our lives is all around us; it’s what we fear losing the most, cling to and worship: that is what marks us. :copyright:iStock/Getty Images Plus/Talaj

Self-deification=the triune godhead of man...666.....While I think its much more complicated than this, it is an interested thing to think about. The article "a" in the greek translations separates the secular humanist deification of man from the singular trinity of anti-christ. There is also some debate about the 666 actually being 616 and that 616 looks remarkably similar to the Arabic....lets see how this will work:
“Chi Xi Stigma” are the Greek symbols for the number 666
When John transcribed this revelation from Jesus Christ, he was actually communicating what the Mark of the Beast looked like. The spelling of 666 in Greek. Greek spelling of 666 Little did he know he was seeing the Arabic Mark of the Beast. The “Bismillah” the Arabic language for swearing one’s allegiance to Allah. Arabic for “In the name of Allah”
I really don't think that the above explanation is the correct one, but its best to have all hands on deck as we watch all of this as it takes place.
I am convinced that prophecy has both a literal and a spiritual meaning,a seen and unseen meaning and if a person takes something that changes dna into something that is not in the image of God, I do think it would fit the description of both the seen and unseen. I don't think that we will have to wait a lot loner to find out what is shaking out of the bag. Im trying to paint and type at the same time and I'm making a mess out of both of them so I'll finish painting.

I didn’t say the virus wasn’t real and I agree it was released on purpose. My brother in law is older, overweight, and has diabetes and Parkinson’s. He fell and broke his ankle. He contracted the virus after 2 days in the ER. He went to rehab and is now home. He had no symptoms. No doubt there’s a new strain. Here’s what I take every day to boost my immunity. Vitamin C, vitamin D3, Zinc, Echinacea, Elderberry, and bitter apricot seeds.....6 a day. I usually get colds that progress to bronchitis. So far, not a sniffle. Effective, affordable prophylaxis is HCQ, Ivermectin and another med I can’t recall at the moment, but no one will tell you about them or prescribe them. Big pharma and Fauci want you to take their vaccine or take Remdesavir, effective but $3000 for a course of treatment. I’m sorry to hear of all of the deaths Mike.

Scarz, While this is sermon may not be as powerful as Johnathan Edwards,"Sinners in the Hands of an angry God" and most likely would not start another Great Awakening like Edwards did, but its powerful in its own right. You like preachers that don't back down? I know you do so even though this man gets a bit on the charismatic side at the end, its a mighty good sermon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIOIjHzIHzc https://youtu.be/HIOIjHzIHzc

The Origin of Humans according to Ancient Sumerian Texts
by Ancient Code Team 10kviews
As a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, this site may earn from qualifying purchases. We may also earn commissions on purchases from other retail websites. Like many other creation stories from different cultures around the globe , Sumerian clay tablets tell the story of how GODS literally created and later modified mankind, creating man in their own image. The gods An, Enlil, Enki and Ninhursanga create the black-headed people and create comfortable conditions for the animals to live and procreate. Then kingship descends from heaven and the first cities are founded: Eridu, Bad-tibira, Larak, Sippar, and Shuruppak. Source Around 4500 BC, in what is today modern-day Iraq, Sumer, or the land of the kings, flourished in the region where the ancient Sumerians created an extremely advanced civilization unlike any other at the time with an elaborate writing system and language of its own. This ancient civilization is considered by many scholars as one of the first advanced civilizations on the planet. Apart of an elaborate language and writing system, this ancient culture developed incredible architectural skills, arts unlike anything present anywhere else at the time and complex knowledge in mathematics, astronomy and other sciences. This ancient culture developed an incredible intricate religious system comprised of hundreds of gods and according to their ancient, sacred texts, each Ancient Sumerian city was protected by its own God at a time when Humans and Gods coexisted on Earth and lived together thousands of years ago. Found on an ancient clay tablet that was discovered in Nippur, an ancient Mesopotamian city created around 5000 BC, we find the Ancient Sumerian Creation Story ( The Eridu Genesis). According to the clay tablet, the creation of our planet began in the following way:
When in the height heaven was not named and the earth beneath did not yet bear a name and the primeval Apsu, who begat them and chaos, Tiamut, the mother of them both,Their waters were mingled together and no field was formed, no marsh was to be seen;When of the gods none had been called into being and none bore a name and no destinies were ordained;Then were created the gods in the midst of heaven,Lahmu and Lahamu were called into being… (Source) According to Sumerian Mythology, in the beginning of time, humanoid ‘gods’ ruled over our planet. When the gods came down from the heavens much needed to be done on the planet and they literally terraformed the Earth in order to make it habitable while they mined its minerals from the soil.
When the gods like menBore the work and suffered the toll The work of the gods was great.The work was heavy, the distress was much. The creation of mankind according to ancient Sumerian tablets is extremely interesting. (Source) According to the creation story, Anu, the main God of the Ancient Sumerians saw that the labor on Earth was too great. The Son of Anu, Enki, proposed to create a species that would inhabit the planet and bear the labor and so the gods created man. One of the Ancient Sumerian Gods was put to death and they mixed his blood with clay from Earth. Out of this material the first human was created in the likeness of the ‘Gods’. You have slaughtered a god togetherWith his personality I have removed your heavy workI have imposed your toil on man. … In the clay god and manShall be bound.To a unity brought together;So that to the end of daysThe Flesh and the SoulWhich in a god have ripened –That soul in a blood-kinship be bound.(Source)
The Sumerian King List: “1-39 After the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridug. In Eridug, Alulim became king; he ruled for 28800 years. Alaljar ruled for 36000 years. 2 kings; they ruled for 64800 years. Then Eridug fell and the kingship was taken to Bad-tibira. In Bad-tibira, En-men-lu-ana ruled for 43200 years. En-men-gal-ana ruled for 28800 years. Dumuzid, the shepherd, ruled for 36000 years. 3 kings; they ruled for 108000 years. Then Bad-tibira fell (?) and the kingship was taken to Larag. In Larag, En-sipad-zid-ana ruled for 28800 years. 1 king; he ruled for 28800 years. Then Larag fell (?) and the kingship was taken to Zimbir. In Zimbir, En-men-dur-ana became king; he ruled for 21000 years. 1 king; he ruled for 21000 years. Then Zimbir fell (?) and the kingship was taken to Curuppag. In Curuppag, Ubara-Tutu became king; he ruled for 18600 years. 1 king; he ruled for 18600 years. In 5 cities 8 kings; they ruled for 241200 years. Then the flood swept over.” (source) So, the first human was created in Eden. Eden is mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh as the garden of the Gods and was supposedly located somewhere between the Rivers Tigris and the Euphrates in ancient Mesopotamia. Eden is an ancient Sumerian word which means ‘flat terrain’.
What is extremely interesting in the ancient Sumerian Creation Story is the fact that initially, man created by the Gods was not able to reproduce on their own. This is why the Gods ‘MODIFIED’ mankind with the help of Enki and his sister Ninki. After the Gods had modified mankind, Adapa was created as a fully functional human being which had the ability to reproduce. However, this ‘modification’ was done without being approved by Enlil, brother of Enki and Ninki, which created a conflict among the Gods. The conflict made Enlil the first adversary of human beings and according to ancient Sumerian texts, mankind went through an extremely difficult time while serving the gods. As you can see, there are numerous similarities between the creation story of Ancient Sumer and other ancient cultures and religions around the globe, but interestingly, in all of them, we learn that mankind was literally CREATED by the GODS in their own image.

I just wanted to let everybody know that my Dad passed away.
Hospice came in and took him for the five days that Insurance will pay for it. He never had to go to a nursing home so the Lord blessed him. He passed away the fourth day he was with Hospice.
Things got rough the last few days before I had to call in Hospice for help with him. I got Covid-19 and I guess I gave it to him. I thought I just got the flu-cold......."But it wasn't." I got so sick I was taken to the hospital and Dad passed away while I was in the hospital. My sister had to take care of all the arrangments and that was a sad thing because I couldn't do a thing.
I finally was released from the hospital yesterday but I'm a long way from getting back in shape. I'm still very weak and just beat down. I lost a good 20-25 pounds. Don't let anyone tell you this virus is not real........."Because it is."
I'm a fighter as my Dad always was......"He taught me that all my life." I'm just so glad The Lord made sure he went out and never suffered.
There are always dark days in this life but all we need to do is look ahead and The Lord will lead us on the true path. We don't have all the answers but The Lord does. It's not about me it's about having faith and a deep trust in letting go of self and let The Lord take care of the rest.
Take care my friends and God Bless you all.

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Psalm 30:5

Michael as far as me getting Covid I stayed home and took care of Dad. I would go to the store once a week and when needed stop and get gas but that was about all I had been doing since the virus began many months ago. I always wore a mask and washed my hands all the time. Dad never even got out at all. I just chatted with the Doctor over the phone about Dad.
No doubt I made contact somewhere that's for sure.
I just feel like the life has been sucked out of me. Right now I have so little interest in anything. Dad was not only my Dad he was my best friend. I just knew in my heart the day he went with Hospice it would be the last time I would see him. We had our moment as he came around and I told him I loved him and he looked at me in the eyes and said......"I love you."
My Mother passed away when I was 19 years old and I was blessed to have Dad in my life all the 92 years he lived.
It will take me time but as you did Michael when you lost your Brother it's all part of moving forward step by step and inch by inch. One thing is so true......."You can't force something,it must take time to heal as the seconds,minutes,hours and days pass."
Thanks for everyones kind words.

Everybody is on my mind today. ScaRZ losing his dad, Bordercollie and Mike hibernating in freezing woo-flu lockdown, the loss of "talent on loan from God" Rush this morning, everybody with frozen water pipes, no heat, with the Texas electric grid taking the biggest hit it seems. I count my blessings that it warms into the low 60's F° here in southern commiefornia. I'd send everyone some warm weather if I could. Best I can do is to keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
Found this graphic over on All News Pipeline and it kinda makes my point.

We are making it okay. We have not lost power. We have gas heat and a wood stove for heat. Judy had it worse than us. She was involved in a heroic rescue of a calf that had fell through the ice into a lake. A normal person could not have done what she did. The poor folks in Texas, there are just no words for what happened. When all of the bodies are found, power company executives should be charged with negligent homicide. They knew this was coming and still shut down plants for maintenance.

Quote Michael: They knew this was coming and still shut down plants for maintenance. ------------- I hadn't seen that. Explains why E. said this was a planned event. (by the enemy of the people, obviously)
I want to know the thoughts of God. Everything else is just details. A Miracle is when God makes His Reality our Experience

I'm neither liberal or conservative in reading the Bible and trying to understand it. I don't believe in getting locked into a one set mind. I'm one who believes the more you dig and ask to understand, the picture changes. I think many people try and force the words to fit into what they want it to be. Words or ideas they like,they keep them, while things they dislike are shoved under the covers.
Over the years I've seen many mainstream churches,pastors,ministers,preachers and teachers not go near certain subjects or words in the Bible. Most have a certain road they either feel they must travel or are afraid to take another route because of a comfort zone.
I believe we are all suppose to be in a constant learning mode as God directs us forward. I believe many of us a long time back stopped advancing or developing and became stagnant having no inflow and outflow.
Everytime I think of becoming stagnant I think of Jesus Christ as The Living Water. Jesus Christ=The Living Water never becomes stagnant because it is not confined to a space where it has no current or flow.

AMEN! Scarz.......Most preachers have a prescribed narrative to lay out and avoid anything that casts doubt on that narrative. The sovereignty of God is one issue that most preachers hate

Remember the words of Henry Ford, “You can have any color (of car) you want, as long as it is black.” The Adversary has a similar sense of humour doesn't he?........ "Everybody can have any (religious belief system) they want as long as it is black (devoted to following The Adversary).

Behold! Finally found something good that came out of that dreaded number 666. Of course this is all in fun don't-cha know and I really did enjoy watching it. I think I might make me up a batch of old number 666. This is Chef John's 666th recipe upload to U-tube (in 2012). I've made a lot of his recipes & all were easy to do and came out good.
Deviled Eggs - Recipe 666!
Tad under 7 minutes to watch. Have fun & enjoy.

David Rohl writes of Nimrod’s career........"The Lost Testament"
By the end of his long reign the king of Uruk controlled much of Mesopotamia and had greatly enriched the cult centres of Sumer. He also controlled the donkey trade routes through the Zagros mountains and sea trade via the Persian Gulf. To the north, large heavily fortified colonies were established close to the main waterways and therefore connected the heart of the empire by means of fast-moving ships. Exotic goods and metals were pouring into the capital city of Uruk and, of course, Enmer’s palace coffers. This really does make him the first potentate on Earth, just as the Genesis tradition states. In his guise of warrior-hero Enmer/Nimrod is remembered as the founder of the mightiest cities in Assyria and Babylonia, as well as a great builder in the old religious centres of Sumer.

The [Heart] can also be an evil heart. Not everybody has a good heart. So if the person with an evil heart listens or follows their heart where does it lead them?
Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in [thine heart], I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of [the heart] bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Matthew 15:18-19 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from [the heart]; and they defile the man.
For out of [the heart] proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of [the heart].
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will [your heart] be also.
Proverbs 28:26 He that trusteth in [his own heart] is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
Proverbs 24:2 For [their heart] studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
Proverbs 26:23 Burning lips and [a wicked heart] are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

A little number fun going on today in Doves Daily thread. I posted this over there but it belongs here as well. Hope we'll all enjoy pondering this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ever considered the odd man out number 7 when dividing a 360 degree circle? All single digit numbers divide into perfect integer angles with the exception of the number 7. This has fascinated me for ages since the Bible is chocked full of sevens from the beginning to the end. 7 thunders, 7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 days in a week, and on and on in the Bible it goes. I wonder why all those Biblical sevens? I’ve pondered this for years. Seven is said to represent perfection. Chuck Missler did a couple of great teachings on the oft repeating sevens in scripture. Anyway, see the example below as it’s quite interesting.

Here's something I've brought up before and I think about often.
Will The LORDS created beings ever get to the point of knowing of good and evil, and "Never" choose evil,but "Always" choose good?......."Having a free will to choose." Of coarse without a free will we have no choice......"The decision is made for us."
In my mind Heaven/Paradise can't be heaven/paradise if we are programmed to only do good....."Without a free will." If this be the case,then why all this?......."Why wasn't Mankind/Sons of God/Angels/All Creations programmed from the very beginning to "Only" do what is good?"
In my opinion it must to be that "Mankind/Sons of God/Angels/All Creations" that are to make up The Kingdom of God will one day with a free will "Always" choose good. How can God be "Love" and "Love" his creation if we his creation can't "Love" him back? How is it possible for we his creation to love him without a free will? Without free will there is no love.

How often have I heard preachers,pastors or teachers declare that the New Testament “did away with” the Old Testament? This is a lie and a denial of Jesus Christ own words in Matt. 5.
Matt. 5:17 -20
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
What part of this statement is hard to understand? I just cannot understand how anyone could misconstrue such a simple statement. I view it as more of a planned deception by The Adversary.
THE WORLD has known and followed elohim of which The Adversary stirs the pot........."The master of deception."

Me too,Scarz, the OT is the NT in a concealed form!!!!!! It is just ignorance for anyone to think that the OT is irrelevant,but so it the modern"gospel" today, just full of ignorance. Let me do some things and I'll be back to this with the scripture. Thats what wrong with people, they don't let the bible speak for itself, instead they speak to the bible and try to tell it what to say.
In the meantime, I was going to post this video. This man is a guy that has the same doctrinal views as I do, or vise versa. He is destroying certain aspects of the false so-called gospels of today. It seems that I have very fat fingers this morning,most likely due to a week of very hard gardening work. Its supposed to rain this week so maybe I can do so posting here. It'll all be in this thread, since I no longer engage in political posting unless its tied to scripture.
Good video:
