Not to dispute the accuracy of the second part, but have you considered that 25:31 gives a clue Jesus (as) may be speaking of humanity as a whole in this context?
I respect that as a human you need, want or prefer to draw the line somewhere. I wonder could someone else draw the lines elsewhere without contradicting the Bible?
I am not sure if you understand that Jews are too be judged, or used as an instrument for judging (the term Witness comes to mind), or potentially both
Might Arabs or a portion of them be included?
I understand that this is after the beheading (beheading, correct?) of the Antichrist. What can you tell me of the literal, physical, army of Jesus (as)?
Thank you for all your answers thus far. I understand I have asked a lot.
Hard to be sure. But this should be something that we can gather data on. Is autism more prevalent among vaccinated populations than unvaccinated populations?
A lot of shit in them and common sense with vaccines do not make sense to me though.
Take it for what it is worth, but my mother is a PHD in micro and MD - and she is against most vaccines. She also thinks the schedule for young children is insane.
I look no further than the money it makes, pays doctors, and who is pushing them.
The “research” claiming a correlation (I think it claimed causation) has been debunked. IIRC, it was even found to be intentionally dishonest, and IIRC, the doctor behind it had his license to practice revoked.
With that being said, there isn’t really a need to prove vaccines don’t cause autism. There was never a good reason to think they did in the first place.
My brother has a severe case of autism (along with mental retardation). My mom bought into the vaccine stuff. She also buys into a lot of alternative treatments that have no evidence of being effective. I created a tread about this awhile back. It is my opinion that these charlatans should face criminal prosecution. It is worse than a typical con IMO, because it gives desperate people false hope, and perhaps even a worse health outcome if they go that route instead of proven medical treatments. Yet, there isn’t much in the law to take these people down. I feel that if the practitioner can’t prove their treatments are effective it should be seen as a confidence scam, and prosecuted as such.
When I got home from Basic Training, I applied to a college in NJ. I had to have a physical and the doctor said I would need to get vaccinated. I was vaccinated as a kid, we didn’t have all the vaccines they give kids now (we actually got chickenpox, and lived) but that didn’t count anymore for some reason. I then mentioned that I just got a bunch of vaccines at Basic so why should I still need to get what are probably the same vaccines within six months? The doctor agreed but said that NJ has their own vaccine combo that even if what I already had covered all of the vaccines in it, they still required I get NJ’s combo shot. The doctor agreed with me not wanting to get any more vaccines and said the only way out was to get titer tests. The doctor recommended it even. So the question is, if a doctor has an issue with vaccine protocols, who exactly is deciding what these protocols should be. And how is it that NJ is saying that the protocols that the military goes by are not good enough?
Big pharma is deciding. Just look at how much of the money and reimbursement rates for pediatricians from insurance companies and big pharma for having to maintain a certain % of their patients vaccinated.
It is disgusting.
My grandparents had 5 vaccines their entire life. They are healthy and in their 80s.
Why are we giving kids 80+ vaccines before they are 2 now?
I am sorry, but it does not add up. Look no further than the covid vaccine.
Look no further than the flu vaccine. My mom has asked multiple colleagues, “What is the transmission vector for the flu?” Why does the flu skyrocketed every year when flu vaccines are given?
I have not heard a good answer on that yet.
I am not anti-vaccine, but I am also going to ask questions and point out when things stink while being bathed in money and lobbying.
Bureaucrats need jobs too. When I was in college the school wouldn’t accept engeneering class transfers from the Naval Academy. I won’t name drop, but it was referred to as You Can’t Finish. So I agree, that’s stupid.
This attitude makes me angry. My parents did the chickenpox party thing for kids, and my sister got toxic shock syndrome from trying to scratch it with those white cloth gloves. In first grade.
I remember her in a bathtub with blue lips having a seizure and bleeding from every scab. Parents called the neighbors instead of 911. She was in the hospital for almost a year.
Fucking vaccine everything. Statistics are meaningless to the individual.
My son has Floating Harbor Syndrome, which sometimes gets conflated, but he is fully up to date on every vaccine.
Please note that I am replying to squating bear’s questions
I am sure there are a few different interpretations. And much depends on how the person views the Church, the nation of Israel and the gentile nations.
There are many preachers that will use the “Judgment of the Nations” passage (that is what Matt 25:31-46 is usually labeled) to teach that as Christians we should feed the hungry and clothe and give shelter to the poor. I believe every passage of the Bible has a literal message, a spiritual message, and an application message (The OT also has a type of Christ to be found)
I only stated the literal interpretation as I understand it. As in this is actually going to happen.
Not literally.
Matt 25:31 says Jesus is coming with all His holy angels. From Matt 26:53 we know that He has 12 legends of angels that His Father would send by Him merely asking for them. And from 2 Kings 19:35 we know that a single angel can kill 185,000 men, so they can neutralize over 13 trillion men. Maybe all His holy angels exceeds 12 legends. I don’t know. But that is the minimum.
This event occurs about 3 and one half years earlier, but it is mentioned as a mortal wound to one of his seven heads. I don’t know exactly why the beast is mentioned with seven heads, but it could be seven men of his leadership team. If you want I will try to give you a better answer.
All men will be judged. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27. As to witness or such, the Abrahamic Covenant stated that Abraham’s descendants shall be a blessing to all families. (Gen 12:1-3)
The passage is about the judgment of nations. Are all Arab nations the same? Saudi Arabia is a nation that is mostly inhabited by Arabs. Are all Europeans Germans? Are all Orientals Japanese? So think nations and not people you identify with.
I have heard many try to make the causation, but I even question the correlation.
I have said this before on the forum, but many discount my observation. I was born in 1948 and received a few vaccines before entering elementary school (I don’t know when between 1 and 5 years of age, but sometime then.) This would correspond pretty much with all my school mates. I don’t recall a single student in all the 12 years I attended school that had autism, or anything like the autism I see today. My last year in high school was 1966.
Many of you have said autism had the same percentage of occurrence then as now, but all I can say is that you might feel different if you had been growing up when I did.
My thought is that the vaccine - autism correlation failed during my school years. My thought is if it failed correlation, it is highly likely it would also fail causation.
But there is a drug invented in 1955 by McNeil Laboratories, Inc. that began to replace aspirin as a headache and pain reliever: Tylenol. I am not saying that vast public use of Tylenol, particularly pregnant women, caused autism, but that the correlation fits. Just something to make you think.
