In the Book of Job, our Lord said:
“Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion’s belt?” Job 38,31.
The two verbs are what's interesting here. "Bind" and "loosen".
Astronomy identifies the Pleiades as an open star cluster containing more than a thousand stars held together by gravity.
Orion, however, is a pattern of stars visible from Earth. Differing from Pleiades, its famous stars do not form one gravitationally cluster. They lie at different distances and move independently, so the familiar figure will eventually change and disperse from our perspective.
Job was written in poetic language, not as a modern astronomy textbook. Yet it is accurate.
The Pleiades are described with the language of binding, while Orion is described with the language of loosening.
Thousands of years before we could ever know that these systems were "bound" and "losen", Scripture described them accurately.
“The heavens show forth the glory of God.” Psalm 18,2
OK so this proves the government can indeed rapidly deport gangsters, bikers & terrorists if they truly wanted to.
Which begs the question, why has it taken so long for the government to deport the 700+ IRGC agents in Canada?
Christianity prevents progress towards destruction. We all see what a state where state atheism or Islamic theocracy rules looks like. Humanity without Christianity will fall back into pagan barbarism.
@kangminlee@sophieraiin What is with all the simps on the comments? Half of you haven't even read your Bibles and think you can be arbiters on who is Christian or not. Kangmin is absolutely right, she's making a mockery of Grace by being a sex object still.
Mary Magdalene hid in a cave for her life...
@DarrenEMIM@kangminlee@sophieraiin The Pharisees were the ones who were twisting the truth into a lie. Just like she is, she is flaunting sexuality and causing men to stumble in the process, none of which is walking in love.
You can't possibly think Jesus only loved, the same Man drove the money changers out...
Joel Berry - a key cog in the Israeli Evangelical Influence op - is either profoundly stupid, or thinks you are.
The Church Fathers, down the line, were hardcore “Replacement Theologians” (as he calls it). They all emphatically claimed that the church replaced Israel as the Covenant people of God.
What the DID believe is called “The Ingathering of the Nations” in which ALL nations will be redeemed and reconciled to God in the eschaton. Because the Abrahamic Promise says ALL nations would be blessed through Abraham (on account of Christ), that includes ethnic Jews, who will one day come to Christ and be redeemed.
The bait-and-switch that this Judeo-Christian influencer is attempting is to hope YOU are too stupid to know that’s not the same as *Dispensational* Premillennialism, which teaches that Jews remain in Covenant despite their rejection of Jesus, and PRIOR TO their mass conversion.
ALL of the Church Fathers - down the line - would have anathematized Joel Berry from the church and handed him over to Satan for heresy. That’s not exaggerative. Some might have suggested he be set on fire for claiming that Jews remain in Covenant without Christ.
Meanwhile, the Church Fathers ALSO believed that EVERY nation would be redeemed and drawn to Zion - including the Persians (Iranians) and Philistines (Palestinians). But nobody suggests we fund their militaries and turn a blind eye to their genocides because one day God will redeem them.
In Isaiah 19 it tells us Egypt and Assyria will all be saved, and in Isaiah 29 it tells us they will be given Zion along with all the other nations.
Q. Why isn’t Berry demanding that Egypt be given an allotment in the West Bank because God’s going to save them one day?
A. Because he works for the Israel Lobby to manipulate Christians to support a nation that rejects Jesus and mistreats Jesus’ followers. He does theology for hire.
Somebody in Tel Aviv sent a memo yesterday, and every Israel First influencer in social media started barking the same line at the same time.
Dinesh D’Souza, one of many such B-Tier pro-Israel influencers who manage to tweet in a flock, declared…
“Jesus was not a Christian, and neither were Adam, Noah, Abraham and Moses. To say otherwise is to confuse the literal, historical Bible with a metaphorical or spiritual reading of the Bible.”
What this denial of historic Christian orthodoxy is protecting is the “Judeo-Christian” brand of Christian Zionism, and the moment you admit the Old Testament is a Christian book, testifying of Christ and saving Christ’s people by faith in Jesus, the “Judeo” half of that hyphenated marketing slogan stops meaning what they need it to mean.
Abraham was not a Jew waiting on a religion he had never heard of.
Abraham was a sinner saved by grace through faith in the Redeemer God promised him.
So was Moses.
So was Enoch.
So, four thousand years before Antioch coined the word, every last Old Testament Saint was a believer in the Messiah that Ben Shapiro and Benjamin Netanyahu reject.
Dispensationalists will sometimes even brag that theirs is a “more authentically Jewish way of interpreting the Scriptures.”
They’re bragging about reading the Bible like a rabbi.
That’s the problem.
The Jewish rabbis had the Son of God, their long-awaited Messiah, fulfilling every prophecy and checking off all the prophetic boxes standing right in front of them, and not only did they fail to see it, but they also murdered Him. That might be your first clue that you do not want to be interpreting the Old Testament like a Jew.
Today, the President of Hungary released a dramatic video message announcing that the democratic rule of law in Hungary has come to an end because he was unlawfully removed from office. Nothing like this has happened in modern European history.
A puppet will now be installed in his place, but that person’s mandate will be illegitimate from the very beginning. At the same time, the governing parties have barred their political opponents from standing in future elections.
These are the very people who spent decades calling Viktor Orbán a dictator. Yet the moment they won a democratic election, they turned against both him and democracy itself. They did not act on their own. They did it with the support and at the direction of Brussels.
The European Union is increasingly behaving like a liberal authoritarian empire, determined to tell people what they may say, what they must do, and even whom they are allowed to vote for.
No person who truly values freedom can accept this.
@Polysesouvient@WinnipegNews "I know nothing about guns in Canada, or the laws they've changed, but America has guns, and America is bad, so guns are bad."

Wow. The whole Evangelical Israel Lobby got this memo today. They absolutely, 100% are told what to say, and when to say it, and coordinate messaging. And today, they’re all espousing this same heresy.
Hebrews 11 explicitly teaches that every Saint of the Old Testament was justified by faith in Jesus Christ, trusting in the types and shadows typifying the work of Jesus on the Cross. Every person whoever has been or whoever will be saved, will be saved by Jesus.
Let me be clear: Judeo-Christianity is a heresy that denies the teachings of Historic (and Biblical) Christianity.
