The Biblical truth about "repent" every Christian needs to know:
When my Dad married my Mom, he was the gayest guy in town. He was not a homosexual. It's because back then, the word "gay" just meant exceedingly happy. Go listen to the old intro song of the Flintstones kids TV show as one example.
Then take the word "let". These days its connotation is to allow. But in 1611, when the Bible was translated into English, it meant to hinder. Paul writes in Romans 1:13, "Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,)..." Amazing that over time the meaning of a word can become completely opposite.
My point being, words change meanings over time.
A change in meanings is purely the fault of us flawed humans. Boring was square. Cool was rad. Awesome is fire. Mediocre is mid. On and on.
Then you have the word repent. Satan has won some battles because of a change in meanings and you need to know the truth. These days, repent means to feel sorry for sins or to make amends. But when the Bible was translated, repent had nothing to do with sin. Feeling sorry for sin was penitent. Making amends was penance. How can we confirm this? Would you agree that, according to the Bible, God does not commit sin? Did you know that of all the times the word repent is used in the Old Testament, over 60% of the time, it's talking about whether or not God is going to repent. So what did it really mean back then. When it comes to Bible verses about getting to Heaven, the word repent comes from the Greek word Metanoia, which means a change of mind. Meta = change. Noia = mind. To literally think differently about what you're trusting in to get to Heaven. It does not refer to a change of your life. God sent Jonah to warn Nineveh to stop their evil. They stopped, and then God repented. Jonah 3:10.
These days many pastors wrongly talk about repent and teach you have to clean up your life to get to Heaven. However, Jonah 3:10 refers to turning from evil as "works", and we're not saved by our works according to Ephesians 2:8-9.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9.
All you have to do is believe Jesus died on the cross and paid for all your sins, past, present, and future. He was buried, and rose again on the third day. If He paid for all your sins, what's left to send you to Hell. The moment you believe He did that for you, He gives you eternal life and promises you'll go to Heaven. You can have that assurance and know right now you're going to Heaven.
After we're saved, we can make a separate choice to serve him out of thankfulness, which earns rewards, but has nothing to do with getting to Heaven.
I found an approach that seems to work well so far. I ask someone, "If you were to wake up tomorrow and decide that you were just tired of living a life pleasing for God and you just wanted to live as you please, do you think you still make it to heaven?" If they say no then I hold my hands apart like as if I'm measuring something and I say, "Imagine a timeline of your life. You're saying from now until you die your performance will, in part, determine whether or not you get to heaven. Do you see how that partially tries to make you the savior because you are relying on your works instead of trusting on Jesus alone?" Then I go through Romans 11:6 and Ephesians 2:8-9 and so on.
People are freaking out over these photos.
Running the pics through AI scanners and peering their panties when it comes up as real…
Vague claims of being posted somewhere and then promptly deleted…

The shit people come up with is amazing.
I can’t tell if they’re intentionally lying for clicks and views or if they’re actually retarded and think that Trump is genuinely meeting with time travelling Agarthan representatives/Nordics.
Get a fucking grip people.
I always thought of it such that gravity doesn't pull, it pushes. Remember the mattress analogy with two balls of sufficient mass to flex the mattress? It's a pushing force of the mattress trying to go back to normal. And the region of the mattress between the two balls has its pushing force split between both objects which makes it weaker versus the pushing force in the rest of the mattress and the result is that the two balls are pushed together. This is obviously oversimplification but that's how I have thought about it. What do you think?
@TechOperator I just refuse to buy a car that can be remotely controlled. Just as a matter of principle. Give me an EV car that cannot be remote controlled and I'll be all for that.
@BrianRoemmele I was there in 94. The leading theory at the time was that it was abandoned because cracks had formed in it and it was unusable. Also the meat market was a site with flies covering all the meat hanging there
Imagine a bird's eye view of the beach. When you have current moving away from the beach, it's because there was a other current moving toward the beach. Imagine a big square with curved corners representing where the current is looping around. So instead of swimming against the current, swim parallel to the beach a little ways until your out of the current going away from the beach. This is how you can get yourself out of a rip current.
This is already been addressed. Job referring to God...
"Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number." - Job 9:8-10

There's already a reference in the Bible to angels (non-human intelligence) showing that they have free will in 1 Kings 22:19-21.
"And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him."
And also with demons in Matthew 8:31-32. "So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters."
They could have all chosen to go into one pig. Instead they chose to go into the entire herd and then they made a freewill choice to send the entire herd off the cliff.
