I'm sorry, but I would never welcome or shake Hitler's hand. If Hitler wants the Whitehouse, I do not give my approval or salute. Biden should never have approved. It's equivalent to aiding and abetting criminality. That makes Biden as much of a Hitler in intent. This is how evil thrives, when Biden caves in to evil.
It was not upto Biden. The American people voted for cheetoes Hitler.

. If the evidence supports a position of 50% confidence, then that 50% is simply belief. Faith is what would fill any remaining gap between that point and any level of confidence one might have above 50%.
Therefore the two are somehow joined. How do you prove they are not joined when 50% is evidence they are?

Love can also be defined biblically as one who obeys the commandments of God. If that is a reasonable definition, then God showing justice to the wicked is actually love. Whereas if he just let them do whatever they want without regard to how they hurt, then that would not be love. Hence, I don't see a contradiction, on a number of levels.
How is it love to sacrifice your son for the sins of others?

I'm not familiar with Christ saying only the dead can forgive [Jews, or otherwise], but I'm very familiar with a repeating theme of our necessity to forgive others, and to do so repeatedly
Does the Bible say Jesus died for everyone's sins?
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:1-2). John's language here is unmistakable.
If you believe Jesus a Jew died for your sins and the Bible tells us the Jews were Gods chosen people. Then we know Gods mission for the Jews. Like Jesus to die for our sins. Therefore as Gods chosen people dead Jews can forgive sins.

Well, all men would be given virgins in paradise, and a martyrs in islam would be given as well. But about Taliban in Pakistan is different story and it's general rule for martyr and about anyone Else or some specific group no one can guarantee and even them being on right path. Jihad or wars in islam are always defensive battles to protect innocent Muslim. Islam do not allow offensive battles to be more clear about who could be eligible for martyrdom.
But the Pakistani don’t need the protection of the Taliban. Pakistan is a nuclear power.

God uses angels as his messengers.Well this where one needs to read carefully to what is being conveyed and by whom. God HIMSELF give the command to Abraham but the angle stopped him? Why didn't god stop Abraham himself? There is no mention of God sending the Angel to top Abraham.
The angel confirms he is conveying God’s message.
Genesis 22:15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16 and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and through your offspring[b] all nations on earth will be blessed,[c] because you have obeyed me.”

Or your neighbour waters his lawn.
Why is my neighbor's lawn always greener?
Don't beat yourself up too much. Sometimes the only reason your neighbor's grass is greener is that they have a different type of grass with a different shade of green and different growing habits. Some grass varieties are more prone to growing tall and lush, while others are more likely to be short and dense.

The fact that faith and belief resulting from evidence can coexist is irrelevant. The existence of one does not negate the existence of the other nor does it make the other any more or less reasonable.

It was an angel that stopped Abraham from sacrificing Isaac. Not god. Hence I asked, makes one wonder who is actually in charge.
God uses angels as his messengers.
Who was the angel that appeared to Mary to tell her she would be pregnant?
the angel Gabriel
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, 'Greetings, favoured one! The Lord is with you.

When I was 12, all the guys in class were very much watching porn and talking about sex. They did make comments on teachers, but only on the hot ones tho.
So they were interested in porn and the hot teachers and not in each other. Might explain why you turned trans.

I was just curious about how does he explain the change in teachings.
There are many LGBT+ congregants, with the church hosting same-sex weddings and services for Pride, the Transgender Day of Visibility and Coming Out Day.
The church says it aims to “serve as a beacon of hope to other reform-minded Catholics who desire change” – by “practicing radical inclusivity in worship, ministry and language, reaching out to those who feel marginalised by the traditional church.”

Well, that's because most of this is said when arguing between or against Christians who believe the Bible doesn't contradict.
75 books were removed from the Bible so the Bible would appear not to contradict itself.
Why were 75 books removed from the Bible?
Their eventual exclusion was not because they were regarded as heretical, but because they either lacked apostolic authorship or were thought to be too shallow in spiritual content.

The current bible has no reference to reincarnation because it was removed but there are some hints that lead us to think that reincarnation was a Christian doctrine at the beginning. "Now the Pharisees who had been sent questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” John 1, 24-25. In that verse, Elijah had already long died but the Pharisees asked if John the Baptist was him. It's not a direct reference to reincarnation but I think we all understand what the pharisees tried to say.
What did Jesus say about reincarnation?
The parable of the rich man and Lazarus makes it clear that Jesus didn't believe in reincarnation after death, but in judgment. This is also the teaching of the New Testament writers and was summed up by the author of Hebrews when he wrote, “It is appointed that human beings die once, and after this the judgment” (Heb.)

If you mean the processing; yes, I agree. But the observation of experience [by our various senses] is focused mostly on the body exterior, or more than that, off-body completely, let alone rarely internal.
What do psychologists think about phobias?
Some psychologists believe humans are pre-programmed to fear certain things. For example, people might be 'prepared' to develop a fear of snakes (despite never encountering one) because they were a danger to our distant ancestors. Your direct experiences. The experiences you've had in life can contribute to a phobia.

But he did command Abraham to sacrifice Issac.Genesis22 :2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”It seems that it was only the intervention of an "angel" that stopped him doing the deed. Makes you wonder who was really in charge at times? Such is the ambiguous nature of the BIBLE.This is god once again stamping his authority over his human creation and demanding that we fear him, Shila.
If God stopped Abraham from sacrificing his son because God felt his intentions were pure and genuine, why did God reject Jesus’s prayer to stop his sacrifice? Did he feel Jesus was not sincere?
Matthew 26:39
He prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, take this cup of suffering away from me. But let what you want be done, not what I want.”
Jesus was explicit he did not want to be sacrificed, “not what I want.”
Matthew 27:45-47 (also Mark 15:33-34) says: “Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani? ' that is, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Yes, on the occasion, since the atonement had to be a supreme, personal sacrifice, I believe Father, by choice, if not obligation, withdrew such that no physical or spiritual sustenance would be supplied by Father, or angels, around him as he willingly completed his purpose for being here - to atone for our sins, our suffering,, physical and spiritual, our doubts, and all things that detract from our physical and spiritual potential perfection.
The sacrifice was for atonement of sins. But Jesus was shocked that God abandoned him in his hour of need.
We know what God did on the day that Jesus fulfilled his mission.
Jesus lamented on the cross.

@CatholicApologetics
The Catholic Church’s teaching on original sin does not oppose Christ’s infinite atonement—it reveals why we so desperately need it. As St. Paul explains (Romans 5:12–21), sin entered the world through one man, and all humanity inherited a wounded nature, lacking the communion with God once enjoyed by our first parents. The Catechism (CCC 404–409) clarifies that this “original sin” is not our personal guilt but the transmission of a fallen condition. Christ’s redemptive sacrifice, offered once for all, overcomes this estrangement: by His Cross and Resurrection, He makes possible our restoration to grace, ordinarily conferred through Baptism. There is no contradiction. Does that clarify things?
Human sacrifice was not part of the commandments from God.
In Jeremiah 19:4-6, Gd tells us that human sacrifice is so horrible a concept to Him, that it did not even come into His mind to demand it from His creation.
It was not a known practice to allow someone to die for the sins of others.Even the disciples did not know why Jesus had to die.
Why was Jesus' death hidden from the disciples?
The disciples failed to comprehend Jesus' explicit and repeated predictions of his coming crucifixion and resurrection because, even while he was revealing it to them, it was being “hidden from them” by the Lord Himself. And only the Lord could remove that incomprehension — which is exactly what Luke says happened.
All SACRIFICED animals had to be slaughtered by a priest, at the Temple (and prior to that, at the sanctuary), and that animal was treated differently - parts were burnt, parts went to the priests and levites, and the rest was returned to whoever brought it.
The Bible tells us Jesus was crucified for blasphemy. He was put on trial for his own sins and found guilty. Jesus was not sacrificed in the temple. He was crucified in a public area. The crucifixion was not performed by priests. The Roman guards then crucified Jesus.
John 19:23 23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
Is Jesus' death a human sacrifice?
In response, God didn't sacrifice Jesus. Rather, Jesus gave up his own life. No one forced Him. He laid down His life willingly, as He made clear speaking about His life: “No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. Jesus admits he took his own life even though he was crucified for blasphemy and sedition.
If Jesus claimed that only dead Jews could forgive sins using himself as an example. Then the Holocaust was totally justified. The world needed more Jews sacrificed for the growing population of Christian sinners.
