It's Ishtar; or at least the cake ritual and title suggest it is Ishtar. Regardless, it is a pagan astrological deity/fallen angel/demon. Israel and Judah fell into idolatry; and took on the customs of the Assyrian empire. In Ezekiel's visions he saw women "weeping for Tammuz" (who was the...

Huge; maybe. They definitely don't need another imperial regime that tries to copy western secular scumbaggery again, or forcibly unveils women in public. That's going to go over like a soup sandwich.

Shod be interesting to see how the election plays out with the rank-choice system. Despite losing the primary, Cuomo is still quite viable under this kind of system I think.

No. The man isn't solely responsibe; he's just mostly responsible... but I find the idea that a woman would "automatically" submit to her husband for ANY reason to be hilariously absurd. Why would anyone believe that?

No; what I implied is that the divorce stat for Christians being equal to that of the world is a skewed stat if they are counting lesbian Methodists as Christians.

Statistics show that the rate of divorce in "christian" "marriages" is close to the same. Divorce stats across denominations vary; but there's also a stat that says it is <1% for couples that pray together daily. Who would have thought that actually believing and practicing your religion...

Something about this type of encounter always seems a bit off. The whole "we have to tell everyone that our church/pastor is great, so they will want to go there" has never sat right. It's like writers will teach their students "show, don't tell"; because people can and will judge for themselves...

Yep. I'm not a fan of country either; but I was born in the south, and long-enough ago that I know what country is; and I confirm that whatever we are seeing now is a mockery. I'm not sure what is being peddled as "rock" these days, is in fact "rock" either. When I was a rock fan, and heard...

Bruh, fast food doesn't compare to middle age-to-older married ladies... they recklessly distribute their baked goods without any regard for anyone's physical fitness. Basically any time you might exert yourself in a way that causes the slightest bit of hunger they just pop out from behind a...

I know it seems reasonable, that's why Tertullian; being a lawyer, came to that conclusion. But what is not reasonable, is that Paul would write an epistle that lays down the church "traditions/ordinances" and not tell people who are doing this that they are wrong and need to stop. What Paul...

It's not even just Trump they say is Hitler. Even the MAGA that challenged the idea of attacking Iran were doing it because they are "Isolationists"; we don't actually care about peace, or want to just make sure out government is making at least pragmatic decisions- we want to isolate America...

Okay; so, a "vicarious baptism" would be someone getting baptized in someone else's place. Certain people assert that "those baptized for the dead" means they were trying to baptize dead people "vicariously" by being baptized "for" them. There is no way that Paul would point out that people...

Well, you're wrong. "those baptized for the dead" in context does not refer to vicarious baptism; and it's foolish to think it does. The rest of your post I agree with.

There's speculation about it being an underground test detonation by the Iran regime, too.

I guess that Boulter dude is saying Walz hired him; not that it makes it true. Chinese spy Linda Sun; who worked for Governor Cuomo and Governor Hochul, goes on trial July 28.

When people say that "the OT saints looked forward to the cross"; I don't they they mean that the OT believers knew the exact details of the events of the Gospel.

No he didn't. Think about how stupid that is. He spent half the letter correcting everything they were doing wrong; only to glaze over that kind of malpractice? That's ridiculous, and you know it is. O-P's stole baptismal regeneration doctrine from Tertulllian- and when they did, they also...

The annoying thing about it to me isn't even what Goldberg said; to me it's that they're making the Iran discussion about hijabs and homos instead of nuclear weapons.

Thanks for sharing this video Shittim. I think it is odd that Russia and China "will be forced to react"... Not saying they won't; but the idea of having crazy jihadis cook up nuclear weapons is stupid. If Russia or China is concerned about balance of power; just find some other ally...

Funny that all this money goes to people that light fires in the streets; while LA didn't have the firefighting resources to fight wildfires.
