Unironically haaland has the potential to completely change soccer and inspire the future generation to stop the flopping and just play the game like men
When I was Muslim, I never noticed what the Quran doesn’t have.
Dates. Places. Names you can check.
Read the Quran’s stories: no chronology, almost no geography, kings called only “Pharaoh,” events floating in no particular year.
Where did the story happen? When? Under whom? The text doesn’t say. You can’t check it… which conveniently means you can’t crosscheck it.
Now read the opening of Luke 3:
“In the FIFTEENTH YEAR of the reign of TIBERIUS CAESAR — PONTIUS PILATE being governor of JUDEA, HEROD being tetrarch of GALILEE, his brother PHILIP tetrarch of ITUREA and TRACHONITIS, and LYSANIAS tetrarch of ABILENE, during the high priesthood of ANNAS and CAIAPHAS…”
SEVEN historical anchors in one sentence.
An emperor, a governor, three rulers with their exact territories, two high priests.
And people HAVE checked — for centuries, often trying to break it. Skeptics mocked Luke’s “Lysanias of Abilene” as an error…
UNTIL an inscription naming Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene turned up.
Pilate was called legend by some… until the Pilate Stone was dug up at Caesarea in 1961 with his name and title carved in it.
Luke 1:3-4 tells you why: “Having followed all things closely… that you may have CERTAINTY.”
Certainty. That’s the offer.
One book floats above history where nothing can touch it.
The other planted its flag in checkable ground and said: dig.
They dug. It’s still standing.
Praise the Lord and His mighty God-Breathed scripture.
If any African nation passed a law banning CN companies, CN would go "okay, if you say so." and leave.
If they passed a law banning western companies, the west would be go "ok, enjoy sanctions + regime change"
*That* fact is what distinguishes imperialism from exploitation
I’ll never understand people that were adopted as babies finding their bio parents and being surprised their parents want nothing to do with them….like that was kind of the point, no?
Despite how many famous deaths there have been recently you really dont get a lot of famous last words these days so it does feel really special that we got to hear "counting or not counting gang violence"
Gee I sure hope there isn't a third party involved in this conflict that loves assassinating presidents and really really really really really really REEEEEAAALLY wants to nuke Iran
