Where do you get that from? It appears that you are going with a modified version of Matthew. Why are you ignoring Luke? If you go with that date just because it makes you feel better that is just fooling yourself at best. You are not fooling anyone else.
You should try that some day.
I'm getting it from the things I have learned. It allows me the opportunity to check out things, and there is more to back this up, but if you don't want to deal with the reasoning behind the dates, that's up to you.
Then you have nothing. You need to find proper historical sources. Not lying apologists.
Yes I do believe I have something. And I may go on, but if you don't want to see the reasoning, that's up to you.
But that is not "reasoning". You are not following the evidence. I really do not care if the Nativity stories I are true or not. I will accept where the evidence takes us. You will not follow the evidence which always results in irrational and self contradicting answers.
We don't need any more creative dance decrees. If you look at the statistics, the money is in electricians, plumbers and welding. Many mechanics are about to all retire or quit working for the man, but the new cars are going to be financially unrepairable, so maybe a bicycle mechanic would be a better career path. The new graduates don't want to go into work even if they are paid a fair salary. Many have blue hair, piercings, tattoos, and vape, and as Progressives, can't stop complaining. Who wants to work in that environment. China has a high education level, yet the new graduates cannot find a job, and are being shipped to the countryside to work in the fields, at least those who have not gone the "lay down" route. That is the end for all social nationalist countries (communism in drag), including China, Venezuela, and Cuba. I don't quite remember, but it seems Cuban doctors make less than $100 a month. The woke Marxist Progressives are on the rode to "you will own nothing and be happy". (Mr. Schwab & his New World Order). The highly educated Indian graduates man phone lines. I don't remember the figures exactly, but it is only around 20% of graduates work in their educational field. Many wind up working in places like Starbucks or waiting tables.
Yet you put your social security check in the bank and expect it to help you sleep at night. My point is to make sure you get introduced into enough reality that your sleep will not be as sound as you would hope. The rich do not pay on any income over $168,000, whereas the poor and middle class pay on everything they make. To say the "well to do" do not benefit from their social security checks at all, is not a true statement. Your subjective self-serving conscience (your god) is leading you down the road to "destruction". If your god is creating a lie, what is the end of the road going to be. Now if you want "understanding" from the "scripture", try following the message of Yeshua, to give all you own to the poor, and follow me, after first, keeping the Commandments. (Mt 19) If you can't do that, maybe that social security money means more than you think.
Where do you come up with this stuff? I don't actually ever see or think about those dollars, and I only take them because the alternative is to let the American government keep them.
Your hope is to make me uncomfortable.
That's what you were told and what you have believed. I discovered otherwise a long time ago. I'd gladly share my secrets with you, but I don't offer unsolicited advice, and you wouldn't be interested.
Why would I go to a so-called holy book for life advice? I'm content without it.
So what does the evidence show about the traditional day of Jesus birth, as celebrated by many, namely December 25th.
No support for it at all. It may have been an attempt to displace Saturnalia.
Have you considered the possibility that you didn't practice the Right Theology to be Truly Convicted of Elohim/God?
Mother Nature, as they say, is From the Womb and because of this it's the Hardest Road Less Travelled to conceive of anything different.
That's what I've been saying. The Supernatural is beyond the Realm of Science and Logic. Science and Logic is for the Natural Realm that I use in My Applied Science work. Faith has Nothing to do with Science and Logic.
Throwing away Ingrained Cherished Values is the most difficult thing a person can do. You won't know the Value or Not of a thing until you attain it. That's why they call it Faith.
That's because Naturally you have a Natural Interpretation of the Bible.
In Natural World the Natural Man Depends and Requires Pharmaceutical Drugs to Survive and/or Thrive.
Yes Indeed, Supernatural is Spiritual. Why do you think Yeshua/Jesus Walked on Water and Controlled the Wind? These things are only for the Disciples. The Real Yeshua/Jesus Destroys what you call Humanity.
Therefore, your Bahai Faith Cherishes and Maintains what you call Human Nature. Maintaining and Cherishing Human Nature is exactly what Roman Catholicism does. Your Religion is no different from Roman Catholicism Being Left-Hand Path Religion.
You are practising Left-Hand Path Religion.
This is what they Believe in Christendom. Christian Gnostics are Heretics in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church.
You help those in Need by the telling the Truth. I told you the Truth that I heard from Elohim/God and you can choose to Accept or Reject it.
Everybody including yourself are Sick. You are a Sinner like everybody else. Sin is what makes people Sick and Die. Sin is Sickness.
Satan/Devil is Internal and External. For example, if there is a One Pure Virgin Woman in a City with thousands of Sexually Perverted Men, those Sexually Perverted Men will make Sustained Devoted Satanic Efforts to Evilly Corrupt the One Pure Virgin in the City. These Satanic Efforts are External to the One Pure Virgin Woman and also Internally she Must Resist the Natural Temptation Within herself. If there is no Deterrent Force, those Sexually Perverted Men would Rape the One Pure Virgin. Humanity is Satanism. Everybody is born Evil Children of Devil/Satan From the Womb.
James 4:4
Job 19:26
It was likely patterned after other gods who died for three days and then were resurrected in imitation of the dying sun during winter solstice sitting still for three days before reversing direction and heading north again. It is at this time that sunrises are as southeastern as possible, and daylight is shortest in the northern hemisphere.
One uses evidence to decide what is true about the world. If you use the words in the book as your guide, and the book was not generated empirically but rather is a collection of myths and uncorroborated claims, one ends up believing by faith and acquiring false or unfalsifiable ideas. This is not a path to truth.
Ignoring reason is not transcending it. The supernatural transcends reason just like a thief transcends the law.
You just described empiricism, which is centered about experience.
No, as with much of scientific progress, man benefits from many of these pharmaceutical agents, which can make lives longer, more functional, and more comfortable. One doesn't need to benefit from pharmaceuticals or any other scientific achievement if he prefers to live without them.
But they are the same definition. My words again: "Of course, a drug is any chemical that affects physiology. Some exclude food and water from that list, but that's arbitrary. Too much or too little water can be lethal. Also, oxygen meets that definition of a drug and is prescribed therapeutically."
Why did you add 'when taken normally'? The route of administration doesn't make a substance sometimes a drug and sometimes not.
That's about as dour and misanthropic a worldview as I have seen. You wanted to give me advice about where to find the answers you found, but they're unappealing. I don't want to live under that cloud with you.
One of the big retailers is laying of 16,000 pharmacists, and letting AI take over their jobs. Lawyers and doctors are next on the list. Dog walking may be the only job left, and Wendy's and McDonalds are trying to replace workers with AI robots. When people get so desperate that they have to eat their dogs, then dog walkers will be walking the streets alone. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Pharmacy: An Overview of Innovations I suggest that one gets a couple of chickens and start raising their own food. Oh yeah, make sure your property is free and clear, and you live in a low tax county, otherwise someone else will be eating from your garden.
Those were legal immigrants. Most all companies are chaired by descendants of immigrants. You will find very few American Indian CEOs unless you are in the Casino business. 3 of the top CEOs of the top U.S. companies had no college degrees.
