“Your expanded definition of what you think constitutes the “Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit”, were it true, condemns all Christians after about the 2nd sin we’ve made and confessed to after our conversions.

If it is the same sin and it is being used to indicate an acceptance of the spirit for the sinner’s purpose, is the sinner not using the spirit for repeated attempts of salvation knowingly the sinner is doing wrong and has already lied to God by asking? And if a sinner repeats the same sin using God for their purposes rather than asking forgiveness, that is not asking, that’s using.

Blasphemy refers to great disrespect shown to God or to something holy, or to something said or done that shows this kind of disrespect by making a mockery of God’s forgiveness. And this act we are talking about is a perfect example as the sinner has no intention of stopping the act against God’s orders. In other ways, it’s called a getting out of jail free card every time, after time, after time...that’s not asking for forgiveness. It’s clearing the way with using God’s gift.

Mistrial, lack of creditable evidence.

In Ephesians 2:19–22, the chief metaphor Paul uses is that of a building—the household of God. Christians are part of the household in the sense that they have been adopted into the family of God, which is another image that Scripture uses to describe the church.

One of the misunderstood points tht have escaped many people is that a person who has sexual realtions with one of the same sex has created a sin.

There are a number of passages in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament that have been interpreted as involving same-sex sexual activity and relationships. The passages about homosexual individuals and sexual relations in the Hebrew Bible are found primarily in the Torah (the first five books traditionally attributed to Moses). The book of Romans is more comprehensive on matters of detestable sexual acts.

Romans 1:26-28 ~ For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature.

I have been told by homosexuals that have determined themselves saved while continuing the act, that God forgives all sin. That is not true.

Matthew 12:30 30 He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters. 31 Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. 32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.”

What this is aying is that the act of homosexuality can be forgiven as a sin. But by using the holy spirit to erase continually the same sin over and over is a blasphomy that can not be forgiven by the Lord. So can a person continue the sinful act and be absolved without trying to use God as a get out of jail card? And that is where the blastphomy is and thus they cannot be considered Christian. So they cannot be accepted into the Christian Church.

“...they never liked Israel much to begin with.”

Problem here is two fold. It seems like everyone is supporting a dying horse. Ukraine can’t win a war with Russia and come out with a thriving country. Even if the actual combat ended it still would be in a situation of diplomacy requiring Russian overseeing. So giving the Ukraine a defense weapon will only kick the end of the war a little further down the road and will cost many lives, more in the Ukraine.

Everyone’s defense resourses are not infinitive. Sooner or later everyone will have to say I can’t afford it any more and cut them off. Then they will be as they are right now, probably worse, and will have to go for a compromise rather than flipping Russia off. And it will end up costing them more at that time than now.

They decided to stand on their own in 1991 when the soviets disolved and couldn’t argue with them. They decided to call Russia’s bluff and won that time. They won’t now and this is where they were heading in 1991 sooner or later. It’s later.

I guess the US has reached a new low in being turned into corralled sheep. Even in the face of historical facts, they are so stupid to believe what they are told by fake leaders, and in many cases, outright liars, I find it absurd that they are buying into this mass vigilante behavior to the point of self destruction. They are no better than the terrorists that attacked Israel in October they have alligned themselves with. And they are no better than the sect religion they are aiding to harm people that have nothing to do with them. Preditor animals like wolves, vultures, and hyenas do this.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration is calling for our main ally in that region to turn “another” cheek and be harmed by those they allow to govern themselves on Israeli land that the people of Gaza have colonized and invited a terrorist group to govern them treating them worse than the Israelis have.

A three year old could fathom this. But a college student can’t. So who’s the fool, the fool or the fool who follows? Is this the intelligent behavior of people or their failure as the next responsible horde that is stepping into the conductor’s shoes that runs the train? Israel is not in trouble...we are.

“...US patent on semaglutide expires in two years.”

Point noted. Waiting for the experation to come out with the next best drug, at rediculaous prices, might cost them money. But I think they are going from moey to power and more money if they can get the patent. Keeps them in business and growing in the long run.

That’s good.

Opray hsa been in a weight loss/gain yoyo since the 80’s at which time she lost 67 pounds on a liquid diet. But she almost immediately gained it back when she went back to solid foods. She went to weight loss drugs to try to cheat her way down but take notice that using them still requires use of a dietary intelligence and exercise. There is no get rich quick scheme there. She also mentioned she seemed to go back to a general weight number consistent with her high ends which could lead to speculation that DNA might be involved. But that one is still up in the air.

“Nobody is using name brand Ozempic for weightloss except really dumb rich people because insurance won’t pay for it.”

https://keepglowingmedicalspa.com/ozempic-weight-loss#:~:text=Health%20care%20professionals%20will%20prescribe,for%20further%20guidance%20and%20information.

Unfortunately they are actually prescribing Ozempic with patient approval using off label. Off-label drug use refers to the practice of prescribing a drug for a different purpose than what the FDA approved. So it is done and I can attest that seven pharmacies in the area, not to include two military pharmacies that can’t get it either. And they blame it on doctor’s prescribing it to people outside of the diabetic needs.

“I get it you all don’t like them because they are Muslims but can you all come to an understanding that they do have the same values as us?”

Very few. They are willing to die for their God to get rewarded.

They mistreat women. Coomaraswamy defines domestic violence as “violence that occurs within the private sphere, generally between individuals who are related through intimacy, blood or law... [It is] nearly always a gender-specific crime perpetrated by men against women.” It is used as a strong form of control and oppression.

An-Nisa 4:34 is the 34th verse in the fourth chapter of the Quran. This verse adjudges the role of a husband as protector and maintainer of his wife and how he should deal with disloyalty on her part. Many Muslim scholars saying that it serves as a deterrent from anger-based domestic violence. The translation of the verse, which can read ‘discipline them gently’ is also subject to debate among Muslim scholars. Some conservative translations find that Muslim husbands are permitted to act what is known in Arabic as Idribuhunna with the use of “Strike,” and sometimes as much as to hit, chastise, or beat.

And according to their volum:

“‘93% of Pakistani women experience sexual violence,’” by Mudaser Kazi, Express Tribune, March 8, 2017:

Koran 3:32 – “Say: Obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad); but if they turn away, then indeed, Allah does not love the disbelievers.”

Koran 48:29 – “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the unbelievers, and merciful among themselves.”

Koran 4:24 – “And (forbidden are) married women except those (captives and slaves) your right hands possess.”

Koran 5:33 – “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement.”

Koran 9:5 – “When the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”

Koran 9:29 – ”Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”

Koran 9:73 – “O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.”

Koran 9:111 – “Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah’s way, so they slay and are slain.”

Koran 2:106 – “Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah has power over all things?”
“Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” —

Qur’an 4:34 -Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” — Aisha (Sahih Muslim 2127)

Another hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning” (Bukhari 4.54.460). And she would in that case be disobedient, hence eligible for beating.

Another hadith has Muhammad saying: “By him in Whose Hand lies my life, a woman can not carry out the right of her Lord, till she carries out the right of her husband. And if he asks her to surrender herself [to him for sexual intercourse] she should not refuse him even if she is on a camel’s saddle” (Ibn Majah 1854).

While sharing the nature of cases reported in 2016 to Madadgaar National Helpline, Madadgaar’s general manager Muhammad Ali Bilgrami briefed that 118 cases of child marriage, 162 of cybercrime, 14 of child abuse, 2,092 of domestic violence, 14 of forced marriage, 562 of harassment, 12 of karo-kari, 2,251 of missing children, 213 of missing women, 792 of mental torture, 5 of rape, 6 of sodomy, 10 of sexual harassment, 7 of sexual abuse and 5 cases of trafficking.
Other verses:

• “Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them.” Koran 2:191
• Make war on the infidels living in your neighbourhood.” Koran 9:123

• “When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them.” Koran 9:5

• “Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.” Koran 3:85

• “The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them.”… Koran 9:30

• “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam” Koran 5:33

• “Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies.” Koran 22:19

• “The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them.” Koran 8:65
• “Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.” Koran 3:28
• “Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.” Koran 8:12

• “Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.” Koran 8:60

See a lot of western values there? You might want to consider rethinking your ideology on the what they call religion of peace that has been at war with everyone that is not muslim Iinfidels) for centuries all over the world.

This is not new. The last time it happened was in 2019 when it delayed a reds/giants game for about 20 minutes and the bees left when they found a suitable nesting location outside the park.

When the pest guy vacumned up the bees this time he will probably either sell them or give them to a bee keeper and they will be used for honey production. Luckily, unless provoked, swarming bees are not normally agressive and don’t sting very often. If you watched the capture, there were very few of the bees even concerned about the pest guy. If this had been at a hive, and he hadn’t set up smoke, he would have been covered.

In some cases, even the medical field is getting in on the action. And it can lead to disasterous results.

As many on this site know, I’m a type II diabetic, I have posted on this site for this illness for many years, and I can’t believe just how stupid even the medical field can be.

A drug that has been vastly over prescribed for weight loss in healthy people is Ozempic. Ozempic is used for type 2 diabetes to improve blood sugar levels in adults and also to lower the risk of major cardiovascular events like stroke, heart attack, or death for adults with type 2 diabetes with heart disease.

It has never been approved for weight loss by the FDA and this drug has risks of drug interactions for those taking Ozempic. The FDA regulates supplements only to ensure accurate labeling and safe manufacturing, like other food products. Serious side effects, including allergic reactions, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), increased thyroid cancer risk, gallstones, and swelling of the pancreas.

I have been pulled off the drug, and another one prescribed, because I couldn’t get it due to over use of doctors using it for weightloss and the pharmacies I have access to can’t get it. So a lot of people are trusting it to aid them in weight loss and it is misleading and can be deadly. I’m sure you can imagine a person passing out due to hypoglycemia not knowing why and not having access to glucagon to get their numbers up before they die.
