Revelation was written to Roman citizens who happened to be Christians.

What a load of crap. Jews were expelled from Rome in 19AD and again in 41AD. You cant expel a Roman citizen without a trial. Paul was the missionary to Rome because he was the only early believer to actually be a Roman citizen

Also, in 70AD the Romans leveled the city of Jerusalem, and destroyed the temple. The Christian church was based in Jerusalem under the leadership of James, the brother of Jesus. James ossuary has been discovered confirming their relationship. Carved in the box in Aramaic is "Jacob (James), son of Joseph, brother of Yeshua"

The Jerusalem church was forced to flee, ending up in the places where John wrote his narrative to in 95AD. BTW, The isle of Patmos sat just off the coast of Anatolia, where all 7 Christian churches were founded. He was writing to Jewish believers, not Roman citizens, about the covenants extended to them in the OT

Is Gone With the Wind the highest grossing movie of all-time because of Air Conditioning?
uhhh, No

Not even close

A/C was installed in theaters beginning in 1925. GWTW was released in 1939, 14 years later. People didnt wait 14 years to suddenly realize theaters were cooled

Also, the film was released in December. No one was buying tickets based on the outside temps

Decapitation was a very common method of capital punishment during the Roman Empire.

uhhh, decapitation was only for Roman citizens of rank. It was seen as a swift and just punishment. As opposed to the cruelty of crucifixion for the rabble rousers

Also, the word beheaded is only used once in the Bible. Yeah, you guessed it, Revelation 20

The only other references to chopping off heads was done by Jews. All prior to the Roman invasion

yes, but in MODERN times, biblical scholars, aka the very intelligent people who study those texts and their histories for a living, are pretty much in agreement that Revelations was more of a social commentary of the times in which is was written and not the forward thinking prophesy that it was is sometimes attributed to be...

How nice for them. Theyre wrong. Or more accurately they are trying to create a reason for people to buy their works

The author of Revelation is clearly John the Apostle. In the writing he only identifies as John. in 95AD there is only one John that could write to the 7 Asian churches and not have the need to further identify himself. In Chapter 22 he confirmed his authority, "Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets". He was also the youngest apostle, thereby being most likely to still be alive in 95AD to author the book

Plus, all 7 churches accepted his writings as prophetic. And wanted it included in the canon. There was little opposition to Revelation's inclusion for 200 years. Thats not the result of some social commentary floating around by some unknown author

Sorry to disappoint

Shes got to get thru the DIM primary first

If Hillaey '08, Bernie, Warren, Bloomberg, etc couldnt do it, AOC doesnt have a prayer of a chance

She will make Pritzler, Newsom, Kelly, Beshear, Whitmer, Spanberger look like stable geniuses

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Because it wasnt about oil rights. Which was the entire reason for the coup. For the US It was about keeping Iran from flipping to Russia
quote:

UK prime minister Churchill solicited Eisenhower to aide in overthrowing Iran's government. The preceding Truman administration had opposed a coup. The UK government's solicitations to the US were instrumental in initiating and planning the coup

quote:

British arguments that Mosaddeq was destabilizing Iran found a more friendly audience when Eisenhower became president. Fearing that a communist takeover of Iran was likely, Eisenhower authorized the ouster of Mosaddeq.

Churchill used their relationship from WWII to convince Eisenhower to stop what had happened in Germany from happening in Iran

I thought tahran and Beirut was them getting revenge on us for for running a coup on their government in '56 so we could benefit gtig oil?

You should stop posting. That was Britain, not us. Having any opinion on Iran is not your stong suit

quote:

On 19 August 1953, Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mosaddegh was overthrown in a coup d'état that strengthened the rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. It was instigated by the United Kingdom (MI6), under the codename Operation Boot. A key motive was to protect British oil interests in Iran after Mosaddegh nationalized the country's oil industry.

Plus Mosaddegh had just thrown out the Iranian constitution and appointed himself ruler. He needed to be tossed
quote:

Mossadegh was not elected by the people. The Iranian Constitution of 1906 made no provision for the direct election of the head of government. Article 46 of the Supplementary Fundamental Laws expressly assigned the appointment and dismissal of the prime minister to the Shah. Mossadegh came into office in 1951 because the Shah appointed him

In 1952, Mossadegh halted the parliamentary elections for the 17th Majles at the very moment when the number of deputies already elected was just sufficient to make parliament quorate. The remaining elections in the rural provinces, where conservative forces threatened to win majorities, never took place.

In the summer of 1953, he then dissolved this incomplete parliament as well, by means of a popular referendum, an instrument that the Iranian constitution neither recognized nor provided for. The right to dissolve parliament, under Article 48, lay exclusively with the king. Mossadegh circumvented this by appealing directly to the "will of the people." The vote on August 3, 1953, was not held by secret ballot: yes and no votes were cast in spatially separate polling stations, and every voter had to make publicly visible how he was voting.

Dont ever forget they debanked Trump and most religious groups during Bidens term. So they would lie like a rug to bolster an anti-American rule they have in place

admit that Epic Fury was a mistake

Iran has completely ruled out any future negotiations with the Trump administration, declaring it will wait out Donald Trump's term

And yet you post the evidence that Trump was right, because there was never a way to deal with these people. They were going to have a nuke, AND use it, whether you want to accept that fact or not

Epic Fury was the only way forward

And thanks for proving that with your own post
I just dont get the love. Most of her box office success was from films where shes part of the ensemble cast. When shes the focus, the numbers just arent there

Challengers - $50,119,408
The Drama - $48,062,006
Malcolm & Marie - $2,000,000

She simply didnt drive the box office for Spidey, Greatest Showman, Odyssey or Dune. Its like saying Brie Larson drove the box office for Endgame. She made mint off the star vehicle of others

Space Jam: New Legacy
Smallfoot
Greatest Showman
Dune 1 & 2
Spidey 1-4
Odyssey

That doesn't necessarily mean merch sales are down

Yes, it does. They said the same thing 2 months ago because of the success of Toy Story 5. Yet
quote:

Disney said the success of "Toy Story 5" extended beyond the box office in the June, as the ?hit film fueled sales of merchandise, boosted engagement on the Disney+ streaming service and attracted more theme park visitors.

Yet he claims the exact same thing about box office failures, 2 months later. Heres how else you know
quote:

The company reported revenue of $25.2 billion in the quarter but shy of Wall Street's forecasts of $25.4 billion

Thats $200 million loss, based off previous earnings of a box office success

Can you name all these times where they've gotten something wrong in say, the last 6-12 months.

1) They had to retract a report that Trump Media paid a porn group a finders fee for a bank loan
2) Deleted a post about 30 Gazans being killed by Israelis near a US aid site
3) Cannot substantiate their story on Hegsetth saying "kill them all"
4) Claimed Natl guardsmen were told to not patrol high crime areas of DC. A since disproven map of troop placements given to them, was not properly sourced to a DC Neighborhood commissioner
5) In another story Wapo was forced to admit that a rep from the National Center for Youth Law was their quoted immigration expert source
6) They made up a story claiming the U.S. Coast Guard would no longer classify the swastika, nooses, and the confederate flag as hate symbols. The Coast Guard was never called to ask for verification

Theres more. Do you now also want me to include the NYT?
