I am new to chat platforms. Can you please explain how to "grab" a specific quote from a post? Like you did with mine?
I use my mouse and place cursor at point to start then left click and hold while moving mouse over desired words. Then hold cursor over highlighted words and click copy in the box. Then bring cursor to 'reply' area and desired spot to place words and right click then paste.

Of course He does. We are told of satan's ultimate demise. That doesn't mean the evil one has no influence on man.
Seems to me Satan and influencers are constantly in our face. I now even look at seemingly innocent early tv shows and there are always references to non Biblical thinking. I don't remember the book I read years ago that mentioned early 20th century media, newspapers. Some thing about the editor of a newspaper coming to the realization that circulation would increase just by inserting stories relative to Sigmond Freud's ideas about Oedipus complex. i.e. Son kills father so he can have relations with mother. Some thing
akin to 1 Corinthians 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.

How is your sense of taste? Maybe 15 years ago at a friends place he gave me just picked in his garden tomato and like hot house tomato had no flavor. I could hardly believe it. Probably GMO hybrid. Never did ask him about it since I took the tomato and didn't taste it till later and forgot about it. Some place in Minnesota maybe has heritage seeds.

A lot of fruits and vegetables taste will change if they get too much water when the fruit is ripening(waters it down). For instance Tomatoes need several things but it needs phosphorus when it's putting off fruit. Tomatoes need a lot of deep watering the whole time their growing(their heavy feeders/water) but if you water them too much when the fruit is ripening it waters down the flavor. Watermelons are a god example also because if they get too much water when ripening it waters down the taste/flavor it needs rain when it's growing but less when ripening. Imagine it this way in your mind,,,, the sun comes up and the melon plant looks pretty,,,in the afternoon the leaves all start sagging and it looks all withered up,,,then the scorching sun begins to go away and the leaves perk back up because the roots sucked the moisture back into the whole plant(melon too),, so controlling the moisture when it is setting fruit can either water it down or if you control the leaf sagging(it's gotta suck water back into it) well then it didn't transfer the flavor back out of the fruit. That's my 2 cents about flavor though,,,lol my pet peeve is watermelons you get one and it's great(less rain when fruit was ripening) next several you buy lack flavor because the field they grew in got a lot of rain just before harvest...

I couldn't agree more. And along those lines you mentioned with Freud, it seems ever more prevalent to me within the societal ill's conversations, that we should really be blaming our mother for our problems. Ridiculous

Watermelons sure do vary. But that tomato was tasteless. Zero, zip, nada. I think it was some GMO seeds or plants the guy got hold of. My taste sense is still good and really good when that tomato taste was flatter than the coyote after Roadrunner nailed him.

I think poster wanted partial not all.
That's why I said "Edit to specific point if desired." :)

You can also add the quote tags to parts of a quoted post to respond to each point individually.

The quote tags are in the row of icons above the message box, in
a drop-down from the three dots and a downward pointing arrow.


Response to this part.


Response to this part.

Response to this part.

Highlight each part and then select "Quote" from the drop-down.

Make sure not to change the coding of the original part so we know
who is being quoted and can return to the original post if desired.


There is another way too but that is enough for now LOL

Ive eaten some really bad tasting produce before but as for GMO there isn't actually a GMO seed yet(their working on a purple tomato now though)... I don't agree with GMO's either which is why I keep up with it but https://gmoanswers.com/current-gmos-crops-dont-include-tomatoes anyway there's several things that could have happened to the tomato you got(probably water.unless he grew it from a hybrid and it reverted back)... Something though that really,really concerns me is the FDA approving lab grown meat just a few days ago .... https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/17/climate/fda-lab-grown-cultivated-meat.html

Good ole NY Times subscribe to read. But CBS affiliate WBBM reported Chicken meat lab grown approved. I don't eat much meat now so not concerned. I saw the purple tomato on my MSN or Fresh Plaza feed. Good to hear you keep up on the GMO's. Almost sure I saw tomato seed or plant now grown without the crinkly top where attaches to plant and this also removes taste. These tomatoes grow smooth all over?

I'm definitely too lazy for that. I was told that you need a whole LOT of dinosaurs and 65 million years....bury them very deep, then dig holes that deep and pump out the oil that the rotted carcasses magically turn into.
Waaay Too much work.
what, you believe it takes that long? lol
are you a closet evolutionist.

God did it all in a flood (squashed the dinosaurs etc) and it didnt take Him that long either.

hmm,,,I worked in the greenhouses at RiceTec back in the early 90's until my continence no longer agreed and so have been looking long and hard at it in comparison to Scripture ever since... https://www.ricetec.com/

The first trial genetically modified food was a tomato engineered to have a longer
shelf life (the Flavr Savr), which was on the market briefly beginning on May 21, 1994.


Tomatoes (along with potatoes, bananas and other plants) are being investigated as vehicles for delivering edible vaccines.

Tomatoes are used as a model organism in scientific research and they are frequently
genetically modified to further understanding of particular processes.

There have been blood cells and soft tissue found of Tyrannosaurus Rex. I don't know of any pieces they found spraying out of the ground. However, the stuff is pumped out capped and then there's a brand new fresh supply in the same wells in many places. I don't have a theory other than I don't think their fossils turned into petroleum.

Anyhow, I found this and I'm going to sleep with a laugh.
From thirty years ago. Does this look familiar? 😄

Yes I'm meaning "available to the public" they've worked with near everything but the seed you can get from the stores(their not available for people to buy and plant). There is an issue with allergies(we have no resistance to GMO pollen for example) which is why they experiment with blood(s) trying to develop immunity and to develop proteins from GMO's... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_rice

ps not trying to be short just careful of how I'm wording things...
