Isaiah 10:40-55 says we are monotheistic.

I think you are missing my point. I agree the Christian faith is monotheistic. However that term is not used in scripture. Rather we developed that term to convey the theological truths about God we see in scripture. The same is true for the trinity. That specific term isn’t in scripture, but we developed the term to convey the theological truths about the Father, Son, and Spirit we see in scripture. My point is it is a fallacy to deny something like the trinity just because the word isn’t in the Bible. Just like it is a fallacy to deny monotheism just because the word doesn’t appear in scripture

Fear the man with only one gun…. Uh, except this guy, he’s a dumbass.

Bump

Good to know. I have a grendel that I use suppressed and one that I don't use suppressed. I may just load the blc2 in the one that I don't use the suppressor on.

For 308, are you guys loading with 155s & light bullets, or going up to 175s, etc?

They’re already trying to establish expanded domestic semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure, since Su-57 requires substantially more SC elements than pretty much any fighter they’ve made before:



They placed side-looking AESAs in the nose instead of doing a rotating swashplate like on Su-35. This and all the embedded RF sensors in the airframe increases the Transmitting/Receiving element counts considerably, which requires a ton of manufacturing capacity in a space Russia has always struggled with industrially. They have resorted to heavy importation of breast pumps and washing machines, game consoles, etc, to remove the Western chips and then re-purpose them for military guidance systems.



It’s a very bad position to be in, since their main domestic SC company went bankrupt in Dec of 2018, and since then....Baikal and Angstrom have also gone bankrupt.

China has been providing SC chips to them through smuggling of shipments due to sanctions, but they really need modern chip mfg capacity to fulfill the orders for Su-57, S-400, and other combat systems computing, sensor, and guidance requirements.

It’s one thing to design a sensor-clustered 5th Gen fighter, and another to actually have the parts and subcomponents supply capacity under security clearance personnel and tight supply lines.

Either way, they are limited to extremely-low rate production of the Su-57, which does not have comparable VLO features to US 5th Gen, or even Chinese J-20. The J-20 is much cleaner and appears to have more modern Radar Absorbent Structures and RAM.

ok, let me amend that to say that the trinity idea was not established at nicea, but it was absolutely enshrined and adopted wholesale there. As for trinity scriptures, there are none. I’ve read the WHOLE Bible through from one leather cover to the other and never seen the word “trinity” “triune” or “co-equal” etc anywhere. I can point out scores of scriptures that refer to God as ONE.

I’ll say this again

These roles and relationships are what we see directly in the scriptures and shows the relational differences we see between the Father, Son, and Spirit. Since the scriptures affirm all 3 are God, yet all three have different functions and different relationships to each other, we say God is triune



The Father Initiates and directs the plan of salvation, sends the Son and the Holy Spirit, is the source of all things

The Son (Jesus) becomes incarnate and redeems humanity through his life, death, and resurrection, is the Word of God and the means by which creation was made, and Intercedes for humanity.


The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live according to God's will, convicts, teaches, and leads, and sanctifies and dwells within believers.

Additionally in the scriptures we see each person of the trinity is individually given the honors, attributes, names, deeds and seat of God.

There’s a funeral next week here in Texas for a family that was wiped out by a drunk driver, who swept his SUV into their motorcycles at high speed. Head on. Big motorcycle rally will escort the family’s remains from San Antonio to Kerrville, for services. The usual clubs. Killed father, niece and son, sent mom to intensive care.

I thought it was incredibly peculiar when they announced they were getting in to the 2011 game.

That raised a lot of my eyebrows.

This is the GA
No issues with it at all. No pressure, no swipes etc. I’m just curious about the different primers and the 200fps difference.
Shot 100rnds through it all in the 2700fps range which is really slow for 6GT
Grab a box with GA after the SKU and it’s all 2950.
Go back to non GA box, 2750

You say no pressure signs and correct me if I’m wrong as my eyes may be playing tricks on me but is the GAP stuff, hold primers, not showing cratering and reformation around the firing pin or is my eyes deceiving me? That’s signs of pressure.

Ok my last comment-read deuteronomy 6:4.

Click to expand...

Right it says YHWH is one. It doesn’t say monotheism, however we would say our faith is monotheistic. We do this all the time, we assign categorical terms to theological truths we see in scripture. The term Trinity is the same thing.

That is the summation of your argument. Because it doesn’t say trinity or use a few specific terms, you deny the trinity. All the while ignoring the relational distinctions we see in scripture of the father son and spirit. You are committing the logical fallacy of specificity

Fair points.

Who was operating the IADS in Syria & Iran?

Click to expand...

Russians, Syrians, Iranians all with Russian AD training.

Serbs and East Germans were much better at operating Soviet-era SAMs. Iraq had some East German contractors helping man SAM systems in ODS back in 1991. Serbs are of course well-known for the only shoot-down of an F-117A in 1999. Keep in mind F-117A doesn’t have any Radar Warning receivers, no Radar, no self-protection suite, no chaff, no flares, no real SA in that space, yet it flew 1271 combat sorties over Iraq, and over 850 combat sorties over Yugoslavia, zero combat fatalities.

That’s our obsolete trash in terms of stealth capability.

The lower-level Russian Pantsir-S1 and S2 systems were advertised as undefinable, so Israel and Turkey turned defeating them into a sport. That one is more relevant for smaller aircraft and incoming drones, yet it never materialized that way.

Shouldn’t have given that van driver the finger.

Can anyone tell me what is the biggest barrel profile I can run in my ATX? I am using the full top rail and internal weights.
