Half of conservatives would deport them for shoplifting.
The point remains that if people want to come here, they do not come to disrupt our society AND they do it with proper channels. If an American citizen were convicted and we had the option to deport them somewhere else, I would choose that too. We don't like violent criminals in our neighborhoods.

the content of the prayer
Don't really remember, but it would have been a quick glance her direction and a "God, please heal her" while wrapping up cords.
Why?

Yes , we read in the book of Ephesians 1 , what God started , ordained as a faith for man. No where in there did we read about the religion of Christianity. Therefore it came about through man, hence all the branches, sects and denominations of it to include Catholicism.
True, but wasn't Jesus wanting people to follow him hence "drink his blood, eat his flesh", "disciples of all men"? Therefore, we can say that Jesus did want people to group and follow his teachings.

You appear to have missed my question. I asked for the content of the prayer you said for the girls leg.
You're right. I did miss it. Sorry.
You are asking what did I say and or actions when I prayed?

Yes, and it comes with drinking plenty of water. Now, there are some studies which suggest that when holding in, person is more focused, time passes slower and thinking becomes quicker and person enters natural state of mindfulness where focus is on the present. Meditation also focuses on present, so holding in pee for some time can be similar to mindfulness meditation experience.
It usually makes be do the "pee-pee dance" when I'm trying to focus on something. Maybe it is an exercise inducer?

Christianity was invented and made up by man. Jesus didn't start it, God didn't start it. We can learn in scripture what God started from the foundation of the world.

Hmmm . . looking through the list I noticed these items that I have questions about:
8. Masturbation, edging - Was this one personal experience or did you have a study?
62. Divination and magic - Is this the same as praying?
81. Create new truth - What does this mean?
134. Not peeing for some time, holding in pee improves focus - Is this another personal experience?
246. Semen retention boosts brain power. No lust or lust thoughts. - This contradicts #8
This is an incredible list! Thanks for sharing!!

The Las Vegas bomber story below:
There are a few things that stand out about this as curious.
1. They easily identified the body as Livelsberger but the body was burned beyond recognition. His body burned so bad but his ID's and smart watch survive the fire?
2. He was a Green Beret trained in weapons, but he used propane cans and fireworks to blow up his truck. Why wouldn't he devise something more elaborate?
3. He shot himself in the head and then the truck exploded. Maybe delayed fuse but
4. Uncle said that the man loved Trump, so why was he targeting the Vegas Trump building?
Thoughts?

but US government wants to keep people stupid which is why education system is mostly a failure.
Absolutely true. The public education is not for the education of children but rather the socialization of those children. They create their own puppets from the school system. See the books by John Taylor Gatto.

I think the criminal system is too soft on criminals personally. A slap on the wrist doesn't help deter others. A public whipping or a public hanging sounds barbaric, but it would probably deter others. BUT, I would agree with bestKorea that the best solution is prevention rather than a harsher punishment. I think education and stronger families would create an empty prison system.

Without the background no one knows what what caused her to gain control of her leg.Could have been psychological?
Possible, but if that is the case, then the psychological problem was healed at the point of prayer.
What was the content of your rushed and mumbled prayer while also being busy and preoccupied with your sound system?
Like I said, I used to run the sound equipment for the church so at the time, I had to use the same sound equipment from the church building out at the camp site. So I was rushing right after service to start wrapping up cords, microphones, speakers, the soundboard, etc. The next service was the next night at the camp, so I needed everything in order so I didn't have to make a trip back into town if I forgot something.
You said " I seen a few myself, ".What about the others? Can you tell us about those?
Another is that I saw the medical documents of an unborn baby's ultrasound that the doctor said the baby didn't have any kidneys. The church prayed and the kid developed kidneys. Another is an old lady in the church was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was given 4 months max to live. That was 2 years ago. These can be explained away by someone who is skeptical but there are many more that don't involve medical issues but I use medical miracles since they can defy science.

If something really does happen then it is not a miracle.
I see what you are saying, except the healing didn't happen over time or by a doctor's direction. Rather it happened at the time of prayer. Therefore, it is not the basic course of nature when a leg is injured and it will slowly heal.
Also, since something did happen, it doesn't mean that it did happen on its natural course. We can study obvious normal activities of the process of life and such, but when something jumps out of the norm, we can assume an intervention of some sort. A catalyst if you will. I believe that catalyst is God.
Nope, the type of miraculous event you refer to, usually comes with a weighted agenda, that necessitates deception and requires a preconditioned gullible audience.
Not so. You are used to TV evangelists and the such touting huge miracles and also huge paychecks due to the deception of the masses. This girl was my friend, I knew her and her family well, she limped on a cane for months, then afterwards, she had no cane. There was no press conference, no "shouting from the rooftops". God was just kind in this girl's situation. Also, it was at a time after service when everyone was leaving quickly to prepare themselves and families to go to camp meeting. If this was done to get the people's attention, then the preachers would have called her up before church was over and make a scene about it.
You also state "Usually", which I underlined in your response. Is there a time when it is not?

IMO variation like that is the weakest tier of evidence. A hundred factors play a role in producing the final numbers. It can reinforce a theory supported by stronger evidence though.
True. I just wanted to show the extreme variance with those numbers. I was hoping some mathematicians would chime in.

When?
I know that there are times that a miracle can be explained by medical science as a "highly unusual case" when someone recovers from a terminal disease, but this one happened in front of my eyes.
There was a girl that I grew up with that when she was 16 or so, one of her legs stopped working. Her nerves were not responding and so she had to walk around with a cane. The doctors were baffled as to the condition or a cure so she was left figuring that she was a cripple for life. She had been prayed for multiple times for months and nothing happened. Then one night as I was wrapping up the sound stuff for camp meeting (I was running the sound at the time) this girl came to the front after church to be prayed for again and she went through the same old way, ask for prayer from the preachers, raise hands and close eyes, hoping God will do something. TBH, I did a quick mumbled prayer while wrapping up cords and mentally lining up my sound equipment. I was busy and she never got healed before. Then she opened her eyes wide, a huge smile on her face, she looked down as she moved her lame leg about. She never has had that cane again. That is the miracle that I saw that I cannot deny or anyone's word of mouth.

You should not call yourself a Christian if you don’t believe in the divinity of Jesus or his resurrection.

The Bible says Jesus is unique in both His person and His purpose. He wasn't just some spiritual individual during His time on earth; He was both God's Son (John 3:16) and God Himself—God in human flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). Yes, He was fully man, but He was also fully God (Colossians 2:9).
I agree that Jesus Christ was more than just an ordinary man and that the Bible does explain this, but he was NOT a God. He was not part of God, nor did he originate from the "substance" of God. He was flesh that contained God's spirit (1 Tim 3:16). When referencing "God's son", the term is used for the creation of this person by God himself. Such a term is used on Adam, the first man. So Jesus was created by God, born of a woman and died. He was not a God.
The Bible is clear that God is not a man and that God is a spirit. So how can Jesus Christ be considered a God? The union of the body (Son) and Spirit (God) is the mystery that 1 Tim 3:16 is talking about. The mystery is how God managed this, not that God is a mystery.

I'm late to the race, but I wanted to throw in my two cents on this topic:
-The baptism of Jesus and what John the Baptist saw-
John the Baptist was obviously the forerunner for Christ. He was told from God that he would be shown in a vision who the Christ was. The vision was only for John and the heavens were only opened for him (John). It was not an actual reference of God or of a Trinity. It was a vision to prove to John that Jesus was the Messiah. John referred to this when he spoke to his disciples.
The reason Trinitarians use this is that it shows a count of three in the vision.

@Shila
What most Christians believe and what the Bible says are two different things.
I am a Christian by all means, but I do not believe that Jesus was the second person of the Trinity.
In Christianity, Jesus is the Son of God as chronicled in the Bible's New Testament, and in most Christian denominations he is held to be God the Son, a prosopon (Person) of the Trinity of God. Christians believe him to be the messiah (giving him the title Christ), who was prophesied in the Bible's Old Testament.Jesus as the Son of GodMost Christians believe that Jesus, as well as being fully human, is also fully God. Most Christians believe that Jesus is the second person of the Holy Trinity. and is the Son of God.
Most of what you wrote is completely extra-biblical. The Bible never calls him "God the Son", but the son of God. This term "son of God" is used many times for regular men. The Bible also does not call Jesus as fully God. He was a man that was indwelt with God's spirit. So much so that the personality of Jesus was God himself.
BTW, most Christian religions sprang form the Catholic church, therefore they kept the Trinity doctrine, so to say Christians believe in such and such is only to award yourself with your own medal.

@Shila
The problem with the Trinity is that the Bible does not support it unless you make up a ton of words and phrases, one being the "Trinity". If there is one God, then there is one God, not a freakish three in one word salad.
The Bible is very specific about there only being one God. The issue with Trinitarians is that they refuse to see God as one distinct being and Jesus Christ as the Messiah only. Since they think there are three persons in God, then they have to twist the scriptures in order to cram their Trinity doctrine to mean what they want.
BTW, the whole Matt 28:19 aspect is revealed in Acts 2:38 where the apostles specifically said to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. If there is a singular name, which is true, then Jesus would be the only name to use. Also see Acts 4:12, there is no other name given. Also, Romans 6 refers to us be baptized into his (Jesus's) death. If we are baptized into a death, then the Trinitarian baptism (Father Son HG) would mean the other two Gods would have to die too, or that they did die.
Real thing is, Jesus was a vehicle to offer a sacrifice for us by God. Jesus will not reign forever since he will give his power back to God in the final days of all (1 Cor 15:28) Jesus was never Eternal. He was born of a woman and any reference to him being "from the beginning" would be in the mind or plan of God. The Son is only in reference to the flesh or body of Jesus Christ.

Except Germany was reeling from an economic collapse and a war torn country. Not the same scenario. Also, Hitler introduced a new political party, not running off of the old one.

P2: Trump supports adding Tarriffs (aka a tax). You can say a tax on companies or consumers; but a tax nonetheless.
We DO NOT HAVE TO buy from China. America is seeking new trade relationships from other nations, particularly, Mexico. If Mexico can produce cheap items OR buy the Chinese goods and have trucked into America, then the price do not have to increase all that much or at all.
There are other trade options other than taking the tariff hit with China. The Tariffs are a way to slow China's economy and bringing them to the negotiation table without having to flex any military muscles. The only way we can complete this is to keep the government out of our trade deals, like Trump wants to do, so we can maintain world economic dominance. Otherwise, Russia and China are starting to buddy up with the Brixit stuff which is pushing the US dollar out of popularity.

Porn will never be banned. Just like smoking and alcohol.
It is a bane of humankind. It is the forbidden fruit that men love to eat. It is harmful on so many levels but the dump of seratonin and dopamine is much more powerful than any ban that will happen.
If porn is banned, it will just go "underground" just like prohibition in the 20's.

It’s not a law, it’s not a policy, and it is the political right that brought it into politics. This notion of getting rid of it is nonsensical babble.
Oh, you mean by the supreme court justice pick being a black woman? Surely that's wasn't political. Please excuse my "babble" and ignore the obvious.
They were doing their jobs and following the law. To punish them would be to violate the rule of law. You guys have been completely gaslit.
Debatable, but they were not following it equally. To raid a president's home and to arrange and post their findings on social media is not the law, it's propaganda. The case got thrown out because of that.
To create a brand new law just to charge Trump is not law, it's a banana republic AND to claim there are 32 different charges linked with one transaction, without naming the actual charge, is also a banana republic.
Talk about being gaslit! Joe Biden's mental decline was so obvious but the media, Whitehouse and Harris was pushing that he was the "best that he ever was".
My god dude, seriously?
Yeah, seriously. Ever heard of CRT? How about pushing LQBGT(etc) down the children's throats at schools? I homeschool for those reasons and now the blue AZ governor and AG are trying to stop the funding for homeschoolers. "You will be assimilated"
If there is anything the political right has shown it’s the ability to invent a boogeyman out of thin air so that they can have something to rail against.
No need to invent. The "boogeyman" showed itself loud and clear.
The liberals are crying for days now because of some invented boogeyman made by the media and Kamala Harris claiming that Trump is Hitler and women's rights are going away and he is a racist. So who makes the boogeyman?
I work with a girl that was afraid she was going to get deported since Trump is in office. The propaganda is in full swing with the blue side of America that it turns all of them in to scared sheep. Who painted Trump as the boogeyman?
If there is one thing I have noticed from the last 8 years with American politics, is that whatever the left is blaming the right on, they are the one's that are doing it. It's the saying that when you point, there are 3 fingers pointing back at you.
