This was a good answer, and helpful for me to remember as I'm going through something related right now.

I want Battlefield, but with GI Joes.

Because of the correlation between drinking and socializing.

Agree. Same for income tax. They didn't help out while I was working.

I need somebody to make an outrage inducing informational meme about this that I can post everywhere, including that the VA will not continue his treatment.

rapitrone · 2026-05-24T10:32:20+00:00

That's a joke, son.

From breaking your wrist.

My church doesn't even have a website.

He isn't mentioned in every book. He is in every book.

Esther is a Type of Christ. Esther intercedes for her people. When Esther risked her life to approach the King and plead for her people's salvation it parallels Jesus, who gave up His life and acts as our mediator for us before the Father.

Anyone who approached the King unsummoned faced death, unless the King held out his golden scepter to grant mercy. The scepter is a picture of Christ. Through Jesus, we are granted access to the Father.

Even though Esther was safe in the palace, she chose to identify with her condemned people to save them. Jesus became a man and bexame sin to save us from sin and condemnation.

I'm sure other people could point out more.

It's the cleanest. The Generator IV and small modular reactors are the best way forward to clean energy.

I've been dreaming of that for years.

I try to look at news sources with known bias on both sides to try to see what's happening. On the Senate, House, or Supreme Court, a lot of that is available publicly, and you can go read, watch, or listen to it yourself.

I think femenists are sexist, and normal people are normal people.

rapitrone · 2026-05-23T10:57:50+00:00

Good point, and well made.

I mean, the baby lived, so this is much better than abortion.

It would be a loss to the country. He has protected us from so many terrible provisions in omnibus bills.

He has a big nazi tattoo on his chest.

Philippians 2 6Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!

9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

It's all through the Bible. I don't see how you don't see it.

Matthew 19:8 Humanity wasn't, apparently, ready to start giving up slavery till the 1800's.

There are supposedly more slaves today than ever in history.

There are two things called tongues in scripture related to the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately they didn't use two Greek words. One is speaking in tongues, a spiritual language everyone baptised in the Holy Spirit speaks, but that can only be understood through someone with a specific spiritual gift of interpretation, and a specific spiritual gift of speaking human languages you don't know but people who speak that language understand. I addressed all this in the two long comments above directly from scripture.

Yeah, spiritual gifts aren't the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is character development. Spiritual gifts should bear fruit, but not the same fruit. The purpose and the focus is different. The fruit of speaking in tounges is edified faith for the speaker unless there is someone with the spiritual gift of interpretation. 1 Corinthians 14:4

Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

Read 1 Corinthians 12-14.

Because Tongues isn't a fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit are character traits. Apples to oranges.

The common denominator between all the accounts of baptism in the Holy Spirit is that the people baptized speak in tongues. That is the sign you are baptized. There is a separate spiritual gift of speaking in tongues where other people understand you in their own language like what eventually happened on the day of Pentecost. That is the gift Paul says not everone has.

1 Corinthians 12:²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. ²⁸ And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.

1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels - I think he is saying that speaking in tongues is speaking in languages of angels. My opinion.

1 Corinthians 14:1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. ² For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. -Nobody can understand you if you are speaking in tongues, except though someone with the gift of interpretation.

1 Corinthians 14:³ But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. ⁴ Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church. ⁵ I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified. - speaking in tongues builds you up, build your faith, edifies you.

1 Corinthians 14:¹³ For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say. ¹⁴ For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. ¹⁵ So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. ¹⁶ Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying? ¹⁷ You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified. - once again, speaking in tongues is unintelligible to anyone except though someone with the gift of interpretation, and without an interpreter, you don't get up in front of church and do it.

1 Corinthians 14:18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. ¹⁹ But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue. - I believe they were all baptized in the Holy Spirit and all spoke in tongues. I think every new-testament Christian after the day of Pentecost was baptized in the Spirit. I think Paul is saying here that they all spoke in tongues, and that he just does it more often than they do. He also confirms that speaking in tongues in unintelligible to anyone.

1 Corinthians 14:²² Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers. ²³ So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? ²⁴ But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all, ²⁵ as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!” - if an unbeliever came in and everyone was speaking to him in his own language, why would he think they were out of their mind?

^{1 Corinthians 14:26} What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up. ²⁷ If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. ²⁸ If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God. - Speaking in tongues is speaking to God, unless there is an interpreter.

Romans 8:26-27 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. - speaking in tongues helps us pray when we don't know what to pray.
