That would be impossible. You couldn't get more C-14 than 100% of new plant growth. Someone was pulling your leg on that one. There are ways to mess up analyses; ancient campfires are contaminated with groundwater, you could get false older results. Organisms that get carbon from geologic sources, like mollusks or their predators, can also give incorrect dates. No one who knows anything about carbon dating would fail to know that. However, you can't use carbon dating for paleontology, since its half-life is so short. Anyone familiar with geochronology would know that,too.

The Bible says "Three score and ten." Which is a little below what we have today. Even if God lengthened the lives of some people, He kept the average live span down to less than we have. Why not just let it be God's way, and stop trying to "fix" things that you don't like?

Yes. But even if it were not flawed, it only works a relatively few thousand years. For that time we have had radioactive decay. Beyond that, we don't know. Therefore the ratios cannot be all attributed to decay

The differences in fundamental life on earth such as the length of lives of men and how fast trees grew are in the bible. Nothing 'extra' about the record there. Giving science a little credit for some basics, we know that the continents moved a lot. The bible does give us the approximate timelines involved since the beginning so we know this separation had to happen inside that time. Nothing extra about it. Sorry if you thought you got to wave it all away

Such a tiny book he shows them, and they don't seem willing to read. We read things that size just for the fun of it.

Since the deep state called our administration has been fomenting a war with Russia since the USSR collapsed, I would think the entire Russian government would not trust us to keep it. We didn't even keep the treaties we had with Native Americans from the start, and nothing has changed. If I no longer trust our own government, how do we expect them to.

WorthyNews: Ukraine’s President Thankful For $61 Billon US Aid Package, But Challenges Remain. Yes, like where are they going to find people to use the weapons we send them. All it will accomplish is to give them weapons to have Russians blow up and kill the rest of the baby producing part of their population.

The Supreme Court will throw out any ridiculous "convictions."

I totally agree. But right now we have only two real choices. A liberal government or a conservative government. Prophesy is clear, America is doomed to be a relic of its former self, divided and useless as a world power. Israel will be on its own and at the mercy of the one world government to come.

How could she be any worse?

Any country that is being attacked must take the gloves off (not to the point of outright criminal acts, but that can often be a gray line) if you want to end it asap. These attackers love violence and aspire to be targets; they support leaders who aspire to be targets, with no regard for the innocent among them... so, treat them like targets, and they have made collateral damage unavoidable without causing more pain and suffering. If you don't, it's your soldiers and innocents who will die because of having to adhere to irrational ethics requirements during wartime situations and prolonged engagements. And, this pain and suffering can/probably will be brought to the U.S. with this administration's open border policy.

THREE FROGS........... "Ribbit" Rev 16:13-14: " I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty" Why does Satan (the dragon) need something extra to fight against Jesus? The Antichrist (the beast) is not enough. Apparent immortality is not enough. Satan and the Antichrist need demon spirits to deceive the kings of the world. And what does the symbol of a frog mean? They, frogs, come out of the "mouths" of the dragon, the antichrist and the false prophet. They issue forth from these three. Might they have something to do with "words".... as they "come out of their mouths"? .... maybe. Frogs are also amphibians. Might that have something to do with "fallen angels"?....... reptilian fallen angels....... maybe angels posing as reptilian aliens??? ..... again, maybe. Frogs are a strange symbol in Scripture. The only other place in the bible where frogs are mentioned to any extent is in the Exodus Saga. Frogs were one of the plagues.... they came out of the river and annoyed, aggravated, infuriated, and exasperated the Egyptians ...... in their houses, their beds, during their meals, etc. Are the frogs then a symbol of constant wearing on the nerves by persistent aggravation? ......Maybe. Why do the dragon, beast and false prophet send out these frog demon entities? Has their power somehow diminished? If the antichrist is in command of most of the nations of the earth, in charge of everyone whose names are not written in the Book of Life, and they worship him (AC), then why can't he order the kings of the earth to do what he wants them to? Why does he have to use deceptive spirits? After Jesus appears in the sky at the 6th seal, it is at that point the antichrist's power is greatly diminished. There are two things that Jesus does to the antichrist, and they are mentioned in 2 Thes 2:8: "And then the lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and will bring to an end with the brightness of His coming" Jesus brings him, the antichrist, to nothing or to an end, and then afterwards He will slay him at Armageddon. That's why the antichrist has to send evil spirits..... to convince the kings of the world to come to Armageddon. His power is mostly gone.... he can't order them anymore.... he has to deceive them. So deception be the three spirit-like-frogs is what finally gets the world to Armageddon. Once the armies get there......... their fate is sealed, as described in Zechariah 14:12: "Now this will be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth" Deception got them to Armageddon. But...... it's really their refusal to repent that ultimately causes them to experience the last and final plague. Jesus speaks the Words....and pronounces His final judgment over them.... and they rot while still standing. " And they blasphemed the God of Heaven because of their pains and their sores, and they did not repent" Rev 16:11

I just pray the Lord gives them wisdom and that His guiding hand is on them . . .

Perhaps. But, as I've said before, the time could be ripe in the US for a 3rd party candidate to do well and even win - there are that many who are dissatisfied with our current two choices IMHO.

If God blesses me with Bibles. I will believe it's God s will , & go ahead in distributing.

I feel blessed to give Hindi Bibles which others read here and use. I think it's good for new believers also everyone feel happy or blessed because of this Bible, it is printed by Bible society of India

Beloved ones, we heard: ”For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.“ ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ What is the light ? What is the darkness? Paraphrasing for clarity: For God, who commanded THE LIGHT or THE TEACHING to SHINE or ENLIGHTEN out of DARKNESS or IGNORANCE/CONFUSION/DOUBT/UNBELIEF, HATH SHINED or HATH ENLIGHTENED in our hearts, to give THE LIGHT or THE TEACHING of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. What is THE TEACHING? What is THE IGNORANCE/CONFUSION/DOUBT/UNBELIEF ? This, we heard: ”We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.“ ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬ THE TEACHING yet not distressed, not in despair; not forsaken, not destroyed. THE IGNORANCE/CONFUSION/DOUBT/UNBELIEF are troubled on every side, are perplexed, persecuted, cast down. Paraphrasing for clarity: for God, who commanded the teaching yet not distressed, that is out of troubles on every side, the teaching not in despair, that is out of perplexing, the teaching not forsaken, that is out of persecution, the teaching not destroyed, that is out of depression, hath shined or enlightened in our hearts, to give the teaching of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. What is the knowledge? Paraphrasing for clarity: for God, who commanded the teaching yet not distressed, that is out of troubles on every side; the teaching not in despair, that is out of perplexing; the teaching not forsaken, that is out of persecution; the teaching not destroyed, that is out of depression; hath shined or enlightened in our hearts, to give the teaching of THE KNOWLEDGE (THE PEACE, THE UNDERSTANDING, THE LIBERATION, and THE DELIGHT) of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. What is THE KNOWLEDGE (THE PEACE, THE UNDERSTANDING, THE LIBERATION, and THE DELIGHT)? This, we heard: ”But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:“ ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭30‬ ‭KJV‬‬ That we may understand, THE PEACE, that is SANCTIFICATION; THE UNDERSTANDING or to avoid evil, that is RIGHTEOUSNESS; THE LIBERATION, that is REDEMPTION; and THE DELIGHT or PLEASURE or TESTIMONY, that is WISDOM. Paraphrasing for clarity: for God, who commanded the teaching yet not distressed, that is out of troubles on every side (the teaching henceforth definitely peaceful); the teaching not in despair, that is out of perplexing (the teaching that definitely in hope); the teaching not forsaken, that is out of persecution ( the teaching that definitely loved); the teaching not destroyed, that is out of depression ( the teaching that definitely flourishing), hath shined or enlightened in our hearts, to give the teaching of THE KNOWLEDGE ( the knowledge of peace, that is SANCTIFICATION; the knowledge of understanding, that is RIGHTEOUSNESS; the knowledge of liberation, that is REDEMPTION, and the knowledge of delight or pleasure or testimony, that is WISDOM of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. That we may understand what is in face of Jesus Christ, that is SANCTIFICATION, RIGHTEOUSNESS, REDEMPTION, WISDOM of the glory of God. For we heard in 1 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭30‬ -31 KJV‬‬ That of him ( the Spirit of truth) are we in Christ Jesus, who of God (the Father) is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. Selah To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent (Worthy News) – In response to escalated attacks during the Passover holiday, Israel targeted multiple sites associated with Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon. Following these operations, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had successfully eliminated half of Hezbollah’s commanders in the region. The intense military operation featured a major airstrike on the town of Ayta ash-Shab, targeting around 40 Hezbollah positions in just a few minutes. The IDF deployed both fighter jets and artillery in this assault, focusing on weapons depots and other critical infrastructure utilized by Hezbollah for its activities against Israel. Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant remarked during a visit to the IDF Northern Command after receiving an operational update and touring the border, “There is continuous offensive action by IDF forces in all of southern Lebanon as well as in other parts of Lebanon. The operational results are very impressive.” “Half of the Hezbollah commanders in south Lebanon have been eliminated… and the other half hide and abandon south Lebanon to IDF operations,” Gallant stated. Gallant highlighted that the main goal of the IDF is to facilitate the safe return of the tens of thousands of Israelis who have been displaced due to ongoing attacks by Hezbollah. “We are considering various strategies to secure this goal, and the upcoming period will be crucial,” he stated. Since October 8, forces led by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah have regularly attacked Israeli communities and military positions along the border to support Gaza during the ongoing conflict. These attacks have led to eight civilian deaths and the loss of 11 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, although they have not resulted in any injuries. During the ongoing skirmishes, Hezbollah has reported 287 of its members killed by Israel, primarily in Lebanon and some in Syria. Additionally, in Lebanon, 54 operatives from other terrorist organizations, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 60 civilians, including three journalists, have also died. The IDF has announced its intention to establish a safe and secure buffer zone along the Lebanon border to safeguard residents from the threat of terrorism posed by Hezbollah. Since October 2023, Israel has evacuated approximately 60,000 residents from the northern border towns, who have been displaced from their homes.

This really nails it. At least for me, and I suspect most of us, there's always something we get tempted with day by day. Fortunately we're covered for that by the blood of Jesus.

Thank you for the scriptures and your thoughts, may we all grow up into Him that we might put a smile on His face…. Many blessings, unto Him be our all, a fellow follower, Not me

Kay Paso Marilyn, 😊 Paul does not define the prize of the upward call of God. There are several thoughts on the meaning. Paul associates it with what he witnessed at the Grecian game races and a recognition reward. In my mind, that is works, something earned (crowns, assignments, less wood, hay, stubble), and not associated with the gift of Salvation, Rapture, or Resurrection. High calling ~ ① invitation to experience of special privilege and responsibility, call, calling, invitation. [1] [1] Arndt, William, et al. A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, 3rd ed., University of Chicago Press, 2000, p. 549.

I still don't know anyone who didn't want to be baptized. When Jesus told us to do so how can anyone justify not doing so.

I'm actually curious about this one. I've heard of the concept before but it's not one I've looked into very deeply. Is this something you'd be able to elaborate on in another thread maybe?

Not "dying" on certain hills reminds me a lot of when Paul told us not to quarrel over disputable matters like whether or not to eat meat and regarding certain days more highly than others. There's a whole lot that can be discussed but isn't really worth arguing about.
