  1. Please keep Covid references to the Covid thread.
  2. GloryLand, it's your choice to get it or not - but please don't think that 'you're not in danger by taking it.' You absolutely are. Consider this: - For most everyone under 60, you are statistically in no risk at all from Covid (remember that zero deaths is an impossible focus - you have to consider whether any deaths are statistically important). - This begs the question whether a vaccine is necessary for an illness with such (statistically low) change of death. - VAERS shows hundreds of thousands of severe side effects - including death - from taking a vaccine that (according to the information above) you don't need. Why risk any side effect to take a cure for a disease you are statistically unlikely to die from? Blood clots, myocarditis, pericarditis, miscarriage, paralysis... these are only a few of the common side effects being reported. - VAERS is significantly underreported - meaning there are likely hundreds of thousands - if not millions - more side effects from these vaccines. This is supported by first-hand stories by every health care worker I speak to - at least the Christian ones. I am not suggesting this vaccine is the mark of the beast - I don't think it is - but there is strong delusion in this area. - The mRNA is a completely new kind of vaccine that has never been used on humans before. Notwithstanding, none of these vaccines have been tested long-term to find out their long-term effects. Especially in the area of fertility. - These so-called vaccines cannot prevent you from catching or transmitting Covid at the same rate as the unvaccinated (see the CDC Director's note on Delta), and appear to have no effect on the impact of Omicron. Again, why get a vaccine that doesn't work, and has serious possible side effects, to 'protect' from a disease that really won't kill you if you're not already seriously ill, old, or dying? Think what you will about it, but do not be deceived into thinking it is harmless. And seriously - go check out VAERS. {Puts on moderator hat} Oh, and as Covid vaccination is a Covid topic, please do not post on it outside the designated Covid thread.
  3. Would Uriah the Hittite have been one? He was at least fairly integrated into Israeli society. Then you have the probably-saved but not integrators like Naaman and Nebuchadnezzar (not Canaanite, I know).
  4. VAERS is the Vaccine Adverse Effect Reporting System. It's a bit of a slog going through the data, but it's all right there. https://vaers.hhs.gov/ If you are listening to pretty much any mainstream news, you are being fed false information. I was sitting in a dentist's office with a TV for half a hour last year, and couldn't believe how wrong the data was - and how much fear mongering they were doing! Every report I heard and constant banners reinforced the false narrative. I had the privilege of helping with the Alberta Boots Project this weekend. Last Monday, December 13, Alberta Health Services (which runs ALL healthcare in Alberta), put all unvaccinated staff on unpaid leaves of absence. Paramedics, firefighters, nurses, doctors - even admin assistants, and outside groundskeepers. The project collected boots from over 700 of these (many, many more) health care and emergency workers to display them on the grounds of our provincial Legislature building to represent the empty shoes these people are leaving behind. I spent Saturday afternoon helping a bunch of volunteers working on the project - mostly paramedics forced out of work due to this mandate. The stories they were telling! First hand accounts of friends who took one dose and were instantly paralyzed - the number of severe adverse effects occurring immediately after vaccination before the person can leave the clinic! - the increased cases they responded to. One paramedic said that for the last three months, the first question she's been asking at the scene was 'When was your last vaccination.' After listing to this for just a few minutes, you understand why they refused to be vaccinated - these are the front line health workers seeing the problem for themselves! They worked through Covid - hailed as heroes - and are now being forced out of work. This isn't 'facebook reporting', GloryLand, this is front line experience. And how! We tracked the combined years of experience represented - at the 653 shoe mark it add up to 10,000 years of health care experience. I can't even... Oh, and while we were working, news came that a paramedic friend from southern Alberta had died. He had had a heart attack, and no ambulance was available to respond in time. We've had ambulance shortage problems already - but how many more will we have with the loss of thousands of health care workers and paramedics? Here's the link - these pictures will break your heart. https://www.facebook.com/AlbertaBootProject/?ref=page_internal Oh, and these empty shoes? They belong to my retired pastor's wife - a midwife for 29 years.
  5. Uh… except your health and your life. There’s been a ton of side effects that aren’t commonly reported, and the VAERS system has more reported deaths from the Covid vaccine in one year than all other vaccines put together over the past 30 years of tracking.
  6. We have digital QR cards in Alberta now… sad state for the ‘conservative’ province! I agree that no one who loves liberty should participate in the vaccine passport program. But I’m not sure that the mark of the beast will be such a sneaky thing. Considering that those have the mark cannot be saved… I don’t think God would allow people to be tricked into it that way. I feel that there must be some definite choice made. But the vaccine passports will definitely feed into the societal requirement to have such a mark in order to continue buying and selling.
  7. Glad you're feeling better! I haven't heard of the joint thing as an aftereffect before, but C does seem to hit different people different ways. I figure that once we've had Covid, our natural antibodies will be able to pivot and fight it any future variant we might catch better than a single-shot vaccine. I also hear that the worse your case, the stronger the antibodies. This theory has proved true with the friends who have caught it twice. The natural antibodies are at their strongest three months after infection, and durable up to 8 months after (length of trial, not end of protection). My brother had a friend who went for general antibody testing - not only did he have Covid antibodies, he had bird flu & swine flu antibodies. Those went around 10-15 years ago! Make sure you do your research, since some are suggesting that getting the vaccine after having had Covid might be even more dangerous.
  8. ‘Stick to topic’ is standard terminology that I’m used to dating; perhaps it would have worked better to include only the second statement. This isn’t about the topic change so much as it’s about stopping discord. In any case, please respect moderator direction. Thank you.
  9. Although personal opinions were requested, more than one person here needs to take a breath and focus on the topic rather than their personal feelings. I’m not going to lock this topic quite yet, but it will be if Christians cannot begin speaking to each other peaceably.
  10. Please stick to the topic, and avoid bringing disagreements from other topics across.
  11. As long as the contrasting statements work as stand-alone sentences. ? I will die on the hill of correct editing any day… can you tell? ??
  12. I’ll care! ?? Semi-colons are used to separate parts of a compound sentence where there is no conjunction (word). For example: ”I need milk; I’m going to the stores.” If a conjunction is present, a comma should be used instead of a semi-colon: ”I need milk, but the store is out.” So a semi-colon basically pairs two separate statements. A colon introduces a list, example or quotation, or provides emphasis: ”Please go to the store and get: milk, potatoes and salt.” Colons are tricksier, and I find that I rarely use one. (I agree with the thought above that it could be disposed of.) But the correct use of a semi-colon is easy and should NEVER be confused. ? In the example “A brute…” above, a colon is actually used incorrectly in place of a semi-colon. I’m going to guess usage has shifted since 1828.
  13. Okay, wow, that’s a lot of fighting over a Wikipedia article. GloryLand, it’s an article someone wrote explaining the nativity in their own words. It’s not meant to be a Bible translation. As it is Wikipedia, you could log on and add the information you feel is missing yourself. I’m locking this thread, because it has long since left being profitable. Perhaps all these Bible scholars should take a course in humility…
  14. I started this topic mostly to ask @Jerry if the floods in BC are affecting him or his church at all. Figured it could work for any other disaster/weather-ish things people want to share.
  15. And some will die from it. f you want it, you have the right to get it. But don't go misapplying morality to your choice. It is neither right nor wrong to choose it for yourself - but it is definitely wrong to suggest people are being unchristian to avoid it. In my church, we believe strongly the Christian thing to do is tell the truth about things and help people not to fear.
  16. Wow... that's really bad. We're not quite there yet. In Alberta, the unvaccinated can't eat in restaurants, go to rec centres and any entertainment venues/gyms that are choosing to operate at regular capacity (almost all of them), and the job losses are spreading as employers mandate the 'vaccine'. Unvaccinated can't fly or use interprovincial trains. Individual seniors homes are being 'allowed' to choose whether unvaccinated families may visit their seniors. The government has managed to avoid directly mandating it (because mandatory vaccinations are actually a violation of our Charter of Rights), but is doing everything possible to encourage it. Oh, and we're not supposed to have anyone in our house - at all (the vaccinated can have one other family). I can have one or two people cause I live alone. Last year Mom & Dad & I snuck over to my brother's house for Christmas - we had to really convince Mom cause she was worried about getting a ticket (she thought we could just wait a couple weeks and it would pass). I have had some friends escape to the US, and more who are contemplating it before Biden closes the border completely to unvaccinated in January.
  17. I don’t think replenish had the exact same meaning in 1611 as now. Now if means specifically to refill; then it meant simply to fill. https://answersingenesis.org/bible-questions/what-does-replenish-the-earth-mean/
  18. Whoa… that better be a one-party consent state or that video is seriously illegal. My best research on the producer of this video suggests he’s from Florida, and that’s a two-party consent state for recordings. ?
  19. Jerry, our governments haven’t cared about our rights since March of last year. Freedom of Assembly Freedom of Association Freedom of Religion Right to the security of the person Mobility rights Informed consent HIPAA FOIP
  20. I’m a little confused on who told who what, but in Alberta, if you test positive, you will absolutely be contacted by phone to inform you of the positive test. if he can make the move privately, without exposing people (other than any friends who knowingly choose to help), it might be worth the risk. Just don’t change any addresses on paperwork until after the quarantine period (and keep the same phone number). Border agencies are very good about following up (don’t mess with them!), but health agencies don’t seem to - at least in this province.
  21. Fair enough that the mass includes a few things, but it isn’t just a Sunday service. It includes the ritual of supposedly resacrificing Christ (“the perpetual sacrifice of the mass”) and effecting transubstantiation in preparation for the service of the Eucharist, or Communion. I don’t think the two can be effectively separated. (And people need to be warned that masses are a blasphemy, and not just a Sunday service.) I might be off topic from the general discussion. Just wanted to clarify that what the Catholics call communion is a very different thing from what we practice.
  22. Biden is Catholic, so he's not taking communion, he's taking Mass. Which is completely different and a blasphemy to God. If you want to talk about the Catholic organization being hypocritical in its refusal of abortion but acceptance of public figures who support it... well, that's nothing new.
