You know, this may be unpopular but I'll comment...

As an American with Jewish blood, bloodline that died and survived the camps but since I believe in Christ and don't believe in the Talmud/Torah....

While this is great news but humor me this.

I've been reading the Bible, jumping around and have been reading revelations.

For those brother and sisters in Christ, you recall what revelations says, right regarding the anti-Christ, brokering peace deals only for deals to fall apart resulting in widespread war.

I honestly don't know or if I believe that this is the case but as a new follower of Christ, makes one think.

Am I off on this?

You aren't off, but that's sort of by design.

Revelation is very extremely heavy on symbolism, even for a religious text. Most modern interpretations look at it as a warning for early Christians against the Roman Empire.

I tend to fall in this camp. Revelation is like Nostrodamus or Astrological readings to me; so broad and cloaked in colorful language so as to allow you to put it against whomever/whatever you want.

Granted, there are people who do believe Relevation is true visions of a far-flung future for the writer. Jump a few millennia ahead in humanity and any communication of what you've seen would probably read like a crazy mushroom trip as well.

ETA: I've been Non-religious longer than I've been religious, so this is all just things I remember from years ago. Others will probably be able to provide some more in-depth answers.

That stuff is very much interpretive. The idea of a left behind style rapture is a distinctly American phenomenon that only dates back a to the 1830’s and was even more wildly popularized with the Left Behind book series in the 1990’s. I grew up as an evangelical reading that stuff. If you are really into the interpretation stuff, Trump fits a lot of the bill for the anti-Christ. The issue is many divisive leaders in history would have too. The writing is so vague, and it does not fit in line with any of the gospel or the apostles letters. It seems to me to be flowery language designed to bring a mysticism that was otherwise lacking as the early Christians attempted to proselytize to pagans who were used to vengeful personal gods. I don’t really believe any of it though, but it may be what colors some of my perception.

People have claimed we're in Revelations "now" for 2,000 years. I'd read a couple good commentaries about Revelations before trying to analyze it too much.

Appreciate it brother, still very new to this, trying to make sense of it.

So does Obama lmao.

(had to, sorry)
 
Revelations is the best action series I've ever read. Likewise to some of you, its been 25-30 years since I've read much of it.

I do distinctly remember the peace deal has to involve Jerusalem and the non-believers trampling Jerusalem for a while before the rapture.

All circumstantial, but tell me another 2000 year old religion that prophesied a group being spread all over the world, only to return to the original homeland like the Jews. The koran just says some imam will come back and they will hunt everybody down. Who knows what Shintos, and Hindus think.
 
I don't know about y'all, but I've really enjoyed reading all of the stories about celebrities celebrating the cease fire in Gaza.

Who am I kidding...they don't exist. Don't believe me? Google that shit, those articles aren't appearing on mainstream news sites. Go to the News tab...very few of those are current. Maybe stories are out there, but they aren't widespread. Surely artists4ceasefire.org has an update?

Save your time. They don't.

Trash human beings. Pure trash. Orange Man Bad helps broker a ceasefire and is promptly ignored. The president could announce his favorite food and would take a ration of shit for that choice.

Republicans should drive home this point every chance they have, but they aren't. Another lost opportunity for the GOP. Democrats are handing you victories, handing you the keys to destroying that party in the eyes of Americans and you aren't grasping these opportunities.
 
Trash human being? No. That's not how we do business. The Left is louder about it--more publicly passionate. They're certainly not right about everything; their idea of 'social justice' sounds more like revenge than anything else. I have not and will not support their ideals as presented.

But they're not my enemies. And they're certainly not 'trash.' Both sides of this overly polarized house need to get the idea out of their heads that we're each other's enemy.

Save the dehumanizing for the damned Communists.

I am not a big "all or nothing" fan. I don't hate everyone on the left, but there are some trash human beings on the left that are low-IQ, window-licking oxygen thieves, and if they died from a bullet today I wouldn't spend a second reading their obituary. They are MY enemies.

The old Muppet would say, fuck em, they are communists.

The new, Christ loving Muppet thinks that while there are indeed trash human beings (I've been a paramedic for nearly 27 years, I see them), the majority of the left are lost and just like the right, brainwashed from whatever media bullshit they lap up.

Are some my enemies? If they actively call for my death, the erosion of our rights and such, they are in fact, demonic. Do I wish them dead? No, that's not my place. They will all be judged by whatever they're creator is.

I'll pray for them but yes, some are just despicable scumbags and align with Satan, they are the enemy.

That said, I wish no harm on them but they will get theirs I presume.
 
Nah, they brought kids into the discussion. For 2 years "for the children" and "what about the children" and on and on. Israel's evil, genocide, all of the invectives and supporting Israel means supporting starving and dead children. Hostages? Uh...silence. Using hospitals for C2 facilities and storage? Lies!

GTFO

Anyway, back to the kids. You all know my "for the children" stance and how it is BS, but if you want to live by it...own it. Here we are, peace, those hostages the left didn't want to acknowledge are now home. And the kids? lolwut?

Both sides have this problem but it is nakedly on display now. These leftists and a fair number of center left won't mention the peace and they certainly won't admit Trump played a role. Dead silence. I found a few who basically acknowledged the peace as a mere step on the road to freeing Palestine, aka "Let's destroy Israel." Call out their own side over the hypocrisy? Never happen.

Nah, you don't get to invoke peace for the children and when peace arrives at the hand of your most hated enemy, a so-called nazi, fascist bent on destroying America, you don't get to ignore that peace and fade like Homer into the hedges. You trot out children and an emotional plea and when your cries are answered you refuse to say "thank you." You refuse to acknowledge the children are safe and can be fed and the suffering is over. You don't get to yell and then fall silent because you don't like the outcome.

You used children for your own political goals. If that isn't trashy, what's that thresh hold look like?
 
AWPs talking about the actual Trash Human beings, didn't come off to me like "everyone that doesn't agree with me" as we see plenty of these days. If they were all about a ceasefire and a humanitarian pause so the jihads can re-arm, but are now silent, then the shoe fits.

There have been tons of these people outing themselves over the last 2 years. Jump on a bandwagon, even if it's headed to Ham Ass town. F the jews, exterminate them and all that. Nobody really commented on a post I did earlier about a documentary by some Swedish chick, following the "humanitarians" undercover, but they were all caught on camera talking about their games. What to say to downplay Israeli good deeds, how they blow events out of proportion to make Israel look bad, how they secretly wanted to kill off the jews.

It's called: Double Agent. Not on YT or any other big platform.
“Double Agent” is a documentary in collaboration with the watchdog group Ad Kan. The series follows “R,” a Swedish pro-Palestinian activist who, during her stay in Israel, was recruited and secretly operated by Ad Kan. Through 3,000 hours of hidden footage, R infiltrates Palestinian human rights groups and meets Hamas officials, exposing how fundraising networks and European human rights organizations are tied to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Her recordings reveal ISM activists discussing mass terror attacks against Israel while branding themselves “peace activists,”

There are enough of them side mouth talking mental cases out there to necessitate a Trash Humans on the Left title.
 
I'll take "Trash Human Beings" for 800 Alex...

"They love to say things like It's always for the children, trust the science, everyone's is a Knot-See, the election was stolen, Joe is sharp he's focused and he's on point, math is race-est, the right is deplorable and irredeemable, you didn't build that, I didn't inhale, if you'd gotten an education instead of joining the military you wouldn't be stuck in Iraq, and poor kids can be as smart as white kids"

Who are Left Wing Liberal Democrats, Alex ?

"That's correct, choose again."
