Really? really?

Matthew 1:18-25​

King James Version​

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,
God with us.
Dude the text does not say that AT ALL! No where in that verse or in Luke does it say Father. Nowhere in either text does it say the Holy Spirit is the Father. What you are doing is reading your theological position into the text, you are eisegeting. Reading your theological position into the text is distorting it. The plain reading, especially in Luke, is the Holy Spirit conceived Jesus. Try this, read every passage I posted and try to just let the text say what it says, do not read your position into it. That is called exegesis and that is how you are supposed to read the Bible.
No need to respond to the rest of your Dream... ...The BIBLE Says the Holy ghost is the Father

Again WHERE does it say that. That verse does not say that.

You won’t address the other points because you have no defense for your position, other than to read your view into it. If you just read the text at face value, you would see you are incorrect.

This is why you have been accused multiple times of just going around in circles. You are committing the fallacy of circular reasoning. Every textual interpretation you have mentioned is based on your theology and not on the text. It’s like an atheist. You bring them all the evidences for God and they continue to say there is no God. When asked why they say that, they say it’s because God doesn’t exist. The reason for denying the evidence can’t just be your presupposed belief. That is not considering the evidence and letting it lead to the truth.

Or it’s like people who don’t believe in miracles. You bring them evidence of miracles. They continue to say those aren’t miracles. When asked for their reason they say it’s because miracles don’t happen. Do you see the error in that thinking?

It’s like this:

Your Claim: The Holy Spirit is the Father

My Response: How do you know that?

Your Claim: Matthew 1:23 says so

My Response: The text doesn’t say that, why do you think the text says that?

Your Rational: Because it says the Holy Spirit conceived and the Spirit is the Father.

This is the definition of circular reasoning! It’s the equivalent of two year olds saying back and forth “I know you are but what am I”.

House Budget Proposal to remove Tax on Suppressors but not remove it from the NFA

This is not a win. This is being patronized. They literally have the opertunity and power to do exactly what they say they want to do but they refuse. Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining. Don't give me this, oh it's a little better shit. Just like, "we're big bad repbulicans and if you put us in power we gonna repeal obamamcare. ""well we got rid of the individual mandate." Same shit smeared on a diffrent cookie.
I’m betting you take blood pressure meds.

You’re getting all bent out of shape over politicians and the games they play. Vote for the lesser of two evils and don’t be surprised when they inevitably disappoint you in some way. I guess we can disagree on how we want to see things. Good luck in your endeavors.

Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

A bit of a watch but worth it. I think that at the deepest level our dogs love us because of reward/food. The video seems to agree. It takes on other beautiful aspects, but that how the first ones got tamed probably. Cave individuals sitting around a kill cooking some meat and a wolf keeps showing up. So for fun you throw him a piece of meat and wolf thinks...hmmmm that beats chasing a deer and getting kicked in the face. And today we have all the beauties in this thread. But its all due to food.

Comey being investigated for wanting to 86 the 47th.

Exactly I was about to post how this is what they want morons to think about instead of the fact they haven’t done shit that will make any changes long term. Everything they’ve done is short term and will be gone after the next election.

As much as it pains me to phrase it this way, make the shit laws or shut the fuck up.

The amount of legislation coming from Congress is mind boggling. If you are an ant.
The excuses as to why are laughble. People blame it on a handful of rinos but they are just convenient. It's the entire party except for a few.

Time pieces/Watches?

When my mother got her nursing degree, we gave her a "nurses watch" which is sorta-like a broach that is pinned to the lapel of the uniform and is actually 'upside down' so that way both hands can be used taking blood pressure and pulse, whilst looking down at the watch second hand.

I hope that initial explanation of what it is and what it does conveys the pragmatism and history of it's uniqueness.

Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

Maybe, maybe not. So far no news from Garmin and they had more than enough time to fix the missing shots.
Actually they made this post here. Mine was missing shots after the 3.30 update but since updating to 3.32 mine is back to working normal again and not missing shots.

Bankruptcy R700 woes

I can't stand to have a short screw in an action. Seems most chassis use a standard length off the shelf screw and sometimes(usually) they only engage 2-3 threads in an action, not the 5 threads that are there. I have an assortment of 1.25, 1.5, and 2" long 1/4-28 socket head screws that I shorten to get 100% use of threads in an action. Maybe ridiculous and not needed, but I still di it.

I see Blue Alpha has a rig with a 1.5" inner belt which I like. I think I like this one.

What she is saying is that they are intentionally trying to capitalize on his weakness of hubris and form a blind spot with regards to them, not just favor. They are laying praise on him with a trowel, to quote Shakespeare.

I would be leery of taking all of the pomp and circumstance associated with this visit as being sincere. I rather suspect it is also for manipulation. It isn't hard for governments to do personality tests and do those things that help to create favorable situations for them, both immediately and in the future.

Trump surrenders to AQ Emir

...it seems like you run on emotions instead of facts.

I think you may be a closet liberal(not a terrible thing, you just seem to fit the mold)

???

I'm literally one of the very few conservatives in here. This place is crawling with little-red-book Commies talking bad about the United States and trying to help the Soviets and Red China spread the Communist revolution.

Relevant to this thread though- you know that Abu Mohammed al Jolani is an Emir in al Qaeda, yes?

...or did you get "alternative facts" from some fake news source? (If so, which one?)

Back to the topic at hand:

WHY do you suppose the American President would surrender to AQ, at the command of their leader, to enable the success of one of their Emirs?

What type of coercion are they using to operate him?

Is it positive- gifting the plane, letting him build his Golf course, bailing out Jared's losses in 666 5th Ave, letting him join in one of their headchopper sword dances?

Is it negative- threats against him, his family, his business interests, blackmail via Epstein (we all know it exists, and anyone can bluff actually possessing it), other manipulation?

...or IS IT BOTH?

The only bond market you know about is bail bonds. Your baby momma has got to shop every one them so often she has them on speed dial.

I know about every kind of bond, and bondage.

LOL- you thought your girl fell on her booty 25x last weekend when she went to help her friend study for a final exam?

Lyman M die on 650

I was loading 308win today. Cases are Lapua on their third loading. FL sized, and trimmed with the Dillon rt1500. I put a Lyman M die in station 1 of the loading toolhead, because everything I read said that I would not need to chamfer. Somewhere I went wrong. I was seeing copper shavings after seating. Then re read M die directions, and it said to flare 1/16" at mouth. I am guessing if I go this route I will need to crimp said brass after seating? I had gone this route because everything I had read says the Dillon size/trim die really shrinks the neck and that I needed to expand it back up to .306 and that the M die would do it and also eliminate chamfering. WIN WIN, or so I thought.

The questions I have now are

1) how bad is this going to affect accuracy?
2)Should I just go back to chamfering before going onto the loading toolhead?
3)Is their a better die for this job than the Lyman to expand?
4) Is their a better die to trim with than the Dillon?

NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

How’s the new bolt doing?

Perfect to date…
Let my kid borrow it the other day.. after a cleaning, without grease.
He took a brick and didn’t bring much back, so i’m guessing it’s close to 2000 rounds… and the last 500 or so were run dry… 😳

Edit: Pic added. Looks the same as when delivered.
