@AThinksAloud It’s clear that the 144,000 of Revelation 7, 14 are clearly Jews who convince the Jews of Jesus + His Messiahship. So, it follows necessarily 1. The Jewish people still have a part to play 2. God is planning their redemption at least a remnant 3. Israel is prophetic fulfillment
@JoshuaLisec The same husband, “I’m making “x” for dinner or I’m picking up “y” for dinner.” Wife responds with “I can’t/won’t eat that, or kid a,b, or c can’t/won’t eat that you should have checked with me.” Translation I didn’t want that and you should have known better.
@LibertyLockPod Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing.

I am not young, and I have zero memories of a secdef/secwar ever doing PT with active duty soldiers. It's not an age, or a dignity issue, it is a message to warfighters that they were not one of them. Pete Hegseth, for good or for ill, is one who would don the uniform again to fight alongside the men he commands. That isn't cringe, that isn't shameful, that is the definition of leadership. A leader should always be willing to follow his own commands and lead by example. They should also set the example, as a marine she should know officers are first to rise, last to go to bed, be last in line for chow, and put the needs of their soldiers first before their own. Anyone criticizing a leader doing what a leader should do, is not fit for command themselves.
@ConceptualJames I’ve seen this creeping into my church and I’ve had to stamp it out hard. But they’ve already gotten their claws deep into many influential younger groups, they seem hell-bent on repeating the crimes of the past. It’s true what Solomon says, “there is nothing new under the sun.”
