An idiotic belief is not proven idiotic very often, it may merely be proven to acquire consensus. Tent peg .. https://www.hebrew4christians.com/Grammar/Unit_One/Aleph-Bet/Vav/vav.html God confused language to keep man from building a tower to heaven instead of accepting his grace through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ at Golgotha, understood in every language by those who believe. Please point out one such error in, for instance, the American Douay https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douay–Rheims_Bible or KIng James. I agree that many translations have errors, deliberate errors in fact. Why is there such difficulty, in your opinion, in biblical translation, when you express no such difficulty regarding translations of clay Babylonian tablets or language of the conquered civilizations in Mexico and South America?

A high iq will tell a person that joining the military exposes that person to a higher chance of either being killed in war or killing someone who doesn't 'deserve' to be killed .. therefore becoming in any sense morally a murderer.

The historical Promised Land agrees in geogarphy to the borders of modern Israel. Jesus was certainly the prophet promised to the Jews, but most of them rejected him .. ah, I see, you said Jesus is not the prophet of the Zionists. Yes, a difference there. Personally I think the British set the Jews up with the land they're in now to have them destroyed by the arabs, which didn't work, most to the disappointment of the British and American oil interests I'm sure.

I think to the Spirit as well.

The weaker the IQ the better for the military. As far as doctors go, a person with a normal iq who applies it will probably do better than a better with a high iq who is lazy.

I apologize Studiot; and my high regards to you for being gentlemanly in your correction: On 2/9/2019 at 2:32 PM, QuantumT said: Both research and experiments clearly show that death benefits any species in the long run, by discontinuing old patterns, to allow new and better ones to gain momentum.

The reputation was propounded by anti-Semites as in The Merchant of Venice .. Shakespeare. Fun, okay. My opinions are certainly almost never opinions according to definition of opinion except in this case: an estimation of the quality or worth of someone or something. My opinions are certainly almost never opinions based on these two definitions: "a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge." (The language of that definition is as vague and obscure as my thinking right now.) My opinion is certainly NEVER an opinion based on this definition: " the beliefs or views of a large number or majority of people about a particular thing." Unless a large number is more than two or three. Fun we can have. Yes, I doubt Curry is served often at State dinners except when wealthy influential East Indians are hosted. Pardon the fun. iNow suggested it.

True, and thanks for the reminder. Many thousands or tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens oppose the State of Israeli's treatment of the Palestinians, for instance. My personal opinion is a fact to me or I would not have it, nor would I generally express it. However, she referenced anti-Semitic tomes as harmful, she was not saying her remark was anti-Semitic.

Aramaic is an ancient as well as modern language, and a large part of the old testament is said by top professionals to have been written in it. Some scholars with restricted study also insist parts of the new testament were written in it.

From your own post, Studiot: "Both research and experiments clearly show that death benefits any species in the long run, by discontinuing old patterns, to allow new and better ones to gain momentum." Perhaps your statement was not as well written as you intended, but it puts no limits on death, and death unlimited for a species is extinction .. whether in the marathon or the 100 yard dash. Logic says clearly, kill all the members of a species and extinction will occur.

A person would probably but perhaps not have to know numbers very well to prove or disprove numerology, however, a relative and friend of mine of very high IQ, believes in it, and says that it has huge powers, and says he understands it, yet he himself is almost bedridden at a relatively early age, 70s. So, he either doesn't understand it, or it's not the basis of the healing described in the bible, whether old testament or new. I haven't looked into it, but believe it could be real, and intended to persuade men of high mathematical education that they should search the bible for further truths. I can't say I agree. I'd like you to show some documentation. One of the Hebrew letters for God's name, for instance, being the shape of tent pegs of that day. All modern examinations of the earliest biblical documents are said to show them written in three languages, Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. Aramaic is said to be the language of the 'newer' old testament prophets after the 'Old' prophets Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekia etc, the 'newer' old testament prophets ending of course with the new testament, which I believe from much study to be written entirely in Greek. Some bible students say parts of the new testament also were written in Aramaic. However, if the God of the bible is as described in the bible, he doesn't need us to study ancient languages, because he wants his Word known, and the easiest way of that is to use his infinite power to have such a translation written for every language even as that language arises from the dispersal from the tower of Babel. I accept that a complete study of the ancient language and manuscripts will, however, verify the accuracy of at least one of the translations in each language, some other translations being adulterated to strengthen commercial or imperialistic power. Some of the original original texts were written in Babylon during the captivity.

You're entirely welcome. I hope the reason I said that is perfectly clear, that her comment was not anti-Semitism, but referenced the influence money from Israel has on American military and political will. There are an unknown number of Jews, almost certainly many tens of thousands at least though, who do not recognize the modern nation of Israel as their nation, or even as a Jewish nation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haredim_and_Zionism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neturei_Karta

If referencing the bible about what the biblical God created it says he created good and evil .. Isaiah 45:7 .. so either John Cuthber is wrong or the bible is wrong, or John Cuthber's God is not the God of the bible, and yet the bible says there is only ONE God (Hear, O Israel .. etc etc.) I recognize of course that John did NOT say his God was the God of the bible. Any votes on this one? Logic shows that extinction (death of a whole species) is not beneficial to that species unless what comes to that species AFTER death is an improvement. (it is said Heaven for man for instance is an improvement and if all things are clearly seen it is easy to see that improvement.) Extinction MAY benefit a competing species, or may not, ecology being complex. Did even the extinction of dinosaurs benefit man? Think of how interesting a zoo of dinosaurs would be especially when a group of freedom lovers cut the locks caging the carnivors .. or even the large herbivores with feet the size of railroad boxcars. Seeing as how you name Jesus (the Christ I assume from content not Jesus Gonzales from Tijuana or New York) and quote scripture, I will refer you to John 11:26 that says those who believe on Jesus the Christ shall not die. Examination of what death is physical or spiritual is another study. There are certain biblical denominations that agree with you in your statement that not all humanity can be purified .. members I know personally of Pentecostalism and Baptist are among those. However .. many other bible believers insist that the bible says ALL humanity will be 'saved' and be in the heaven to which you presumably refer.

I just read that it's a combination of fungicide and pesticide, not either by itself, that is destroying commercial pollinating bees in certain cases. Almond crop in California I think it was.

Arabic people are Semites .. so it was NOT anti-Semitic comment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/who-are-the-semites/ That that one simple basic fact is missing from so many highly educated peoples' cultural and historial education is the result of media brainwashing only. It was clearly a remark about Israel economic interests influencing U.S. industrial military economic direction .. not anti Semitism. The anti-Jewishness of much of the world has been obvious throughout the diaspora .. Jews and Gypsies being mass murdered OFTEN in EVERY European nation (and in England whether it is part of Europe or not is debatable) throughout modern history. Immediately prior to WW2 an unknown number of thousands of Refugee Jews were turned back to Germany by all those same nations including Canada and the U.S. When severe economic conditions destroy law enforcement in the U.S. (close to it now) murder of Jews will begin .. they being promoted AGAIN as the reason behind all problems, chiefly economic. The U.S. will almost certainly join a military invasion of Israel, for both political facade similar to the election of Obama as President, military position, and to avoid military conflict with nations wanting the economic supremacy of Israel business to end. At present, the U.S. is ruled by Israel interests by agreement because the U.S. benefits from oil stolen from the supposed 'enemies of Israel.' Her comment was made out to be anti-Semitism by the media and her political enemies. Her apology should not have been made. Her comment spoke to Israel influence on U.S. commercial military direction, NOT anything to do with Semites. Jews are NOT the only Semites in the middle east, in fact they are probably the LEAST of the Semites. https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/who-are-the-semites/

What was the evil that was spreading? It certainly was not persecution of the Jews, for all the 'allied' nations had rejected Jewish refugees prior to the war and returned them to Germany. Other than the persecution of the Jews, WW2 was just another imperialist commercial enterprise in the form of another recovery of lost borders encompassing economic opportunity, or expansion of borders to protect a people in need of protection from another people seeing their resources as having economic opportunity. As have been all wars since Christ and John the Baptist told everyone not to make war. So .. BeeCee .. what exactly was the evil that was spreading? Not if you don't have another war. Spoken like a true partriot of any nation opposing any other nations. Would you, for instance, say the Australian, Canadian, U.S., British governments could be trusted to abide by the mutually agreed to treaties written by them for native aboriginal peoples? History clearly shows constant continual deliberate betrayal of those treaties by the colonizers resulting in genocide of the colonized people, even those who embraced the culture of the colonizer. Those are just easy examples. Ah .. to have the priviledge of refusing a compliment. Excellent, Strange: Mennonites, Hutterites, JWs, Individuals, Quakers, original Pentecostals http://www.scielo.org.za/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S2074-77052017000100031 many, many other denominations and individuals including Martin Luther King (resulting in not one African American mass murderer in the U.S.) Jesus Christ and John Baptist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_pacifism Also, there are sects and many individuals in Islam which will not participate in violence. As well, Jihad is not a militant action, but: "Jihad is an important religious duty for Muslims. ... to mean individual struggle, not something violent or militaristic." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_violence Along with adulterous men and women Leviticus 20:10 .... and people having sex with animals Exodus 22:19 . The change with the New Testament is the Christ would cast the demons out of those people, allowing them to live. However, if they returned to their old ways, natural influences like disease would and does eventually kill them if they remain in that sin. It is said that HIV for instance began with monkeys, though I can't testify to that, not being a medical scientist. War toys also .. six guns for kids a clear example. Model fighter planes and bombers .. hundreds of millions of them sold. $$$$$$$$$ AND the sale of those items allow the ancient primal instinct that death rules to be given authority. Personally, I believe there is an even more ancient instinct that tells us to allow a person to live and you have a new friend to help in survival .. THAT instinct needs to be buried to promote military recruitment .. the burial of that first instinct comes early, toy six guns with holsters to three year old boys, etc. (A rifle is far better for hunting game, it is easy to see.) But a toy six gun, and a hero cowboy shooting a bad Indian (and all Indians are bad but Ghandi, right?) A powerful casket for the first instinct of love. Thank you for this PRIME example: If a nation is on the brink of total starvation WHERE do they get the money to buy weapons for war? WHERE do they get the physical and mental energy necessary for war? WHERE do they get the food and water to sustain their soldiers (Surely not from a neighbouring nation which has abundant food, because a neighbouring nation will amost certainly have the exact same conditions that lead to starvation for the starving nation.) The Hawaiian islands are a prime example of food supply NOT being a factor in war. Tribes in neighbouring valleys separated by mountains had the same conditions, the same super abundance of food on land and in the air and sea, yet tribal warfare was constant until one Hawaiian tribe overcame almost all other tribes by war, intervention of the Great Kahuna preventing invasion of the final island by way of storms, similar to storms twice drowning Chinese armies on their way to invade Japan, and of course the Spanish armada on the way to England. The United Nations in the 1970s estimated a possible population of either 40 or 80 billion for our planet IF things were done correctly. China was in a state of starvation for many decades ONLY because it was constantly being destroyed by Europe .. when that destruction ended, and Japanese and American attempts at destruction failed, China prospered, and now ships all types and quantities of food TO even Canada and the U.S. (The destruction of Vietnamese rice produces being a major reason for the Vietnamese war, to benefit California rice growers.) History and common sense clearly PROVES the complete fallacy of 'war for food.' However, war for iron ore, coal, gold, diamonds, uranium, oil, natural gas .. it's been ongoing since man learned how to smelt metals and make shiny toys to impress the ladies, including war toys.

Not at all true. Hindsight is an EXTREMELY valuable tool. It's one way we learn. We all make mistakes, hindsight can correct them. If anyone calls someone a fool .. they are merely denying the other person is human and therefore errs .. perhaps NOT as much as the person calling the person making the error a fool. And in fact regarding the morality of historians' involvement with war did Britain declare war on Germany BEFORE Germany invaded Poland or After? Certainly George Orwell and modern day ethics teach us anything is possible regarding the writing/rewriting of history. (We can't count the radio tower incident as an invasion .. it's not proven and can never be proven that Germans dressed as Poles or vise versa were involved .. don't forget some Poles wanted Germany to occupy Poland to defend it from Russia.)

Perhaps this is all in the eye or mouth of the beholder? What gift of patience have you been given? Whether you have a tummy ache on any given day? Whether you agree or disagree after reading several words and declaring NONSENSE so that the rest of whatever was written is superfluous? How much time are you willing to dedicate to any question? What is your favourite flavour of ice cream and do you have time to go to the store and get some or is this long sentence interfering with my addiction to chocolate ripple space time effects meandering through the coconut cream light matter? Smoothly? A higher speed blender with sharper blades perhaps? Or do the physics of dull blades smashing into matter create more particles than sharp blades slicing through anti-matter? Gosh. Is good smooth or lumpy? Does best come in a waxed cardboard carton or plastic tub?

You would have done well to stop at your first statement that was worth FAR more than 10cents. The destruction of the Jews was not recognized until AFTER the war ended, it was NOT the least reason for WW2. In fact, before WW2, as you will see in my other posts, Jewish refugees were denied entry to all the 'allied' nations, and returned to Germany. (Ship St. Louis one example only.) Regarding the destruction of the Jews, the allied bombing of Germany's farms, food warehouses, food factories, transportation systems, burning of entire cities, etc., caused the starvation of almost everyone in Germany including the Jews in camps or in hiding. In fact, the U.S. bombed Buchenwald. https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/daily/wwii/bombing-buchenwald/ There is intense and disgusting propaganda in that article, but even it admits the U.S. bombed that concentration camp. Jews and Gypsies had always been the most despised people of Europe and indeed throughout the world, in all nations. In Canada Jews were not allowed to buy property in certain municipalities up to the early 1950s. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/bernie-farber/human-rights-canada_b_1510399.html and https://www.thestar.com/life/homes/2015/04/17/honouring-the-end-of-real-estate-racism-in-canada.html

War does not seem to be morally wrong unless an authority, either yourself, or someone in authority, sets that morality. "principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior." "A particular system of values and principles of conduct, especially one held by a specified person or society." "The extent to which an action is right or wrong." I have seen references to Christianity in this discussion. Jesus Christ said, "Put up thy sword. He who kills with the sword will be killed by the sword." This is then, a specific commandment of Christianity. Christ's immediate predecessor, John the Baptist, commanded soldiers who came to him asking, "What shall we do to inherit the kingdom of God." He told them, "Do violence to no man." This translation however has been changed in some publications. So .. for Christians, war should be morally wrong, as their two primary doctrine setters made commandment to abandon war. In fact, John was preaching to the Jews, so if his authority is recognized, and it was by multitudes of Jews, Jews also should abandon war. Muslims likewise, recognizing all the prophets in the old and new testaments, should abandon war. I will not speak on other religions as I know little of them. However, a Christian in any nation may say, 'but the bible says to obey all he laws of the land.' Yes, but it also says there shall be evil rulers making evil laws, and in that case, we should obey God rather than man. Also, every nation that I know of has allowed for conscience, that a person does not have to serve if his conscience, whether religious or not, prohibits killing. (Conscientious objectors, recognized by law.) Reason for war, apart from God commanding the Israelites, seems to have always been for material gain, in our era, money, in previous eras, hunting grounds. This is totally obvious in our modern era, where crude oil and natural gas is worth $$$$ more than all the gold, silver, diamonds, iron ore and coal put together, and which are the target for every war going on now .. the attempt to make war against Venezuela a prime example, Canada for instance wanting to destroy Venezuela so it can sell more oil on the international market, Canada being in no way more moral than Venezuela as it has immense poverty in every large community and among all races living in Canada, including the highest per capital suicide rates in the world. Patriotism affects many, but again, if one recognizes the authority of Christ, patriotism is not a factor, as Christ says, "My kingdom is not of this world." The morality of a regime is evil is always dictated by the regime it opposes. The United States is an evil regime to the Iranians, the Iranians were an evil regime to the Iraqis during their war, the Northern States were evil to the South in the U.S. civil war, the stone age tribe who won the battle determined the morality of their war against the evilness of the vanquished enemy, the French were evil to the English and the Germans to the Russians and the French to the Black Africans and Canadian socialism is evil to U.S. capitalists who hope to use it as an excuse to invade Canada for control of its crude oil. "Love of money is the root of all evil." New Testament. As stone age tribes used wampum and sea shells and stones for money, could we say love of the lucrative Conch supply on a Florida beach is reason for South Carolina and Texas to form an alliance to invade the Keys? Stay tuned for the war coming to your doorstep. A United Nations study way back in history in the 70s or 80s reported our planet's capacity of population as, I think it was 40 to 80 billion. When we see that China with its immense and well fed population, now that it is not being destroyed in war by foreign invaders, exports large amounts of many different kinds of food to the United States, Canada and many other nations, we can easily see where 40 billion could be a reality, and yes I believe 80 billion could be a reality. And please don't say China's food is inferior, or it would not be on the market here. So population is definitely NOT a reason for war .. though it is a resource easily led into war through the tried and true method of, "We are being invaded or threatened by an evil empire.' In the old days, bright blue or red uniforms and fancy hats with white feathers were used to recruit. Then why did Britain and the U.S. finance Hitler? Answer .. to overthrow communism in Russia of course, thereby gaining access to the vast oil and mineral wealth within Russian borders. https://www.globalresearch.ca/history-of-world-war-ii-nazi-germany-was-financed-by-the-federal-reserve-and-the-bank-of-england/5530318 and other sources on that page. Don't forget that ALL the 'allied' nations turned back Jewish refugees, in the famous ship St. Louis example, and others, before ww2. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/voyage-of-the-st-louis 'To save the Jews' was NOT the reason for that war, as the Jewish problem was not recognized by any 'allied' nation until the war was over. The U.S., by the way, did not enter the war until the Russians had beaten Germany in Russia through Russian destruction of the armies attempting to destroy Moscow, Leningrad, and other major Russian cities, and when it was clear the war was basically over, and that the Russians could end up occupying all or Europe .. THEN the U.S. entered the war to gain control of whatever parts of Europe they could scavenge. There were no 'Allies' until the U.S. entered the war AFTER Russian had defeated the German military in Russia .. and practically ALL of Germany's military was IN Russia when they were defeated. Before the U.S. entered the war as a scavenger the war against Germany was fought by the British Empire. France was a German ally in WW2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Pétain and welcomed the Germans to France to protect it from the British, almost 200,000 French troops and aircraft fighting against the British-American invasion of North Africa https://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/fact-america-france-fought-each-other-during-world-war-ii-22800 Likewise, Austria was a full partner with Germany during the war. Let's not forget it was England and Canada who declared war on Germany September 3 1939 not the other way around. Annexation? If a city in Canada or the U.S. annexes a county outside its borders, is it a military invasion? No. It is an agreement by both entities, so it was with the European nations who allied with Germany KNOWING it was Russia who was eventually to be invaded and all that loot taken from (but they lost of course.) If you haven't learned how distorted history gets from the era we are now in ('they had weapons of mass destruction .. oops, they had NO weapons of mass destruction and we knew it .. etc.) you may never learn.
