Newly-released Swedish data shows that the rise in autism between 2001 and 2020 was...
ENTIRELY attributable to an increase in cases WITHOUT intellectual disability—less severe cases than used to be the norm!
The autism epidemic is not real: we just diagnose more.
Meditating this afternoon on the truth of assurance of salvation.
What has typically been called the "perseverance of the saints" sits solidly on God’s sovereign commitment to complete what He has begun in believers’ lives. God pledges to bring to completion the good work He started in believers at the day of Jesus Christ (Phil 1:6), establishing a foundation that transcends my weakness and circumstance.
Christ promises that those who follow Him will never perish because no one can snatch them from His hand or the Father’s hand (John 10:27–29). This dual security, held by both Christ and the Father, reveals an unbreakable grip. Nothing in creation: whether death, life, spiritual forces, present circumstances, or future events, can separate Christians from God’s love in Christ (Rom 8:38–39). The robustness of this list removes the possible threat to salvation.
God’s faithfulness grounds this doctrine. All whom the Father gives to Christ will come to Him, and Christ will lose nothing of what has been entrusted to Him (John 6:37–40). God’s gifts and calling are irrevocable (Rom 11:29), they do not hinge on changing circumstances or human performance. The Lord is faithful and will establish and guard believers against the evil one (2 Thess 3:3).
The work of the Holy Spirit provides active protection. Thank goodness I as a Christian am sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who serves as a guarantee of our inheritance (Eph 1:13–14). By God’s power, those found in Christ are guarded through faith for salvation ready to be revealed at the last time (1 Pet 1:3–5). Christ is able to save completely those who approach God through Him, since He continually intercedes for them (Heb 7:25).
This treasured Scriptural truth punctuates that those whom God foreknew and predestined are also called, justified, and glorified -- a chain of divine action that ensures completion (Rom 8:29–30). It's a progression moveing from eternity to final glorification, with no breaking point.
All who believe in Christ will have eternal life and be raised up on the last day (John 6:37–40), and believers may know with certainty that they possess eternal life (1 John 5:13). If you are a Christian rejoice in this reality, and if you are not a Christian let me tell you about the most amazing assurance you could ever experience!
There are no child prodigies in biology for the same reason there’s none in mining or agriculture.
Biology is an experimental science and is labor-bottlenecked, not intelligence-bottlenecked.
ok this is INSANE 😭

Dear Christians, it took me six years after converting from Islam to Christianity to discover that I was still living as a Muslim. It was only after I became a real Jew that I became a real Christian.
Millions of Christians are living like pagans because they never became Jews. To understand what I mean, and to learn how to become a real Christian, read my article on why you must first become a Jew.
I pray that this article will change your life just as this truth changed mine many years ago.
@HollyGrayle Are you dumb and looking to look ugly and feel excruciating pain whilst doing it? Here's something for you. How can God not punish this stupidity I have no idea.
The headline here is very optimistic. What this large Finnish study found was actually that youth who got hormone or surgery for their gender problems were much worse off than the ones who didn't:
"An extensive register‑based study conducted in Finland has found an increase in severe mental health problems among some adolescents and young adults who have undergone medical gender reassignment (GR)." https://t.co/3oCIqXuQJ4
Phosphate based detergents have been progressively banned from consumer laundry products since the 70s in the US and Europe. Modern formulations rely and zeolites and citrates and additional compounds
In general, these perform worse than the older alternative. The exception is things like grass and blood where the modern detergents are superior thanks to enzymatic action
The most recent domain where phosphate bans produced noticeable consumer degradation is in dishwasher tabs. Post 2013 tabs were objectively worse. They’ve improved since, but the older products were better. Many complaints about modern dishwashers and washing machines are actually about the detergent, but people don’t think about that; they go straight to the machine
One reason why professional laundry services - like those at hotels for example - seem superior is because they use phosphate detergents, and they have the environmental systems to filter the wastewater
This is a really interesting rabbit hole to go down on the internet. There’s an entire subculture around it. Phosphate detergents are available overseas in some cases, China exports a lot to Africa and Latin America
Or you can just add a few teaspoons to your laundry
