Trump starting task force to combat anti-Christian actions; AG Bondi to lead it https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/feb/6/donald-trump-starting-task-force-combat-anti-chris/ President Donald Trump welcomes Pam Bondi … more > By Mallory Wilson The Washington Times Thursday, February 6, 2025 President Trump on Thursday said he’ll sign an executive order making new Attorney General Pam Bondi the head of a task force to target “anti-Christian bias” and create a freedom of religion commission. “I will be creating a brand new presidential commission on religious liberty. It’s going to be a very big deal, which will work tirelessly to uphold this most fundamental right. Unfortunately, in recent years, we’ve seen this sacred liberty threatened like never before in American history,” Mr. Trump told a crowd at the Washington Hilton. He said he was creating the task force with Ms. Bondi at the helm to “confront such weaponization and political persecution.” “The mission of this task force will be to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ — which was absolutely terrible — the IRS, the FBI and other agencies,” Mr. Trump told a crowd at the Washington Hilton. He also said work will be done to “fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.” Mr. Trump added, “If we don’t have religious liberty, then we don’t have a free country.” The president said he’s reinstating from his first term the White House Faith Office, which will be led by the televangelist Paula White. She chaired the evangelical advisory board during Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign and delivered the invocation at his 2017 inauguration. “While I’m in the White House, we will protect Christians in our schools and our military and our government, workplaces, hospitals and in our public squares,” he said. “We will bring our country back together as one nation under God with liberty and justice for all.”
Oh riiiiiiiight, protect religious beliefs by gummint. Religion not a tool of gummint manipulation, oh nooooooo.
LMAO the bs artist christian. Meanwhile Netanyahu while he's currently in US will applaud adding more 'heathen' suckers to worshipping Israel.
The story of the Tower of Babel. Genesis 11, 1:9 1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. 3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” 5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” 8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel[c]—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth. ...................................................................................................................................... Why did The jewish god not want a common language? First of all there is no ‘Jewish God’ (It’s a Jewish concocted myth/Jewish wishful thinking). Secondly the reality it’s the Jews and their political religious system which didn’t want a common language. We see this today, Judaism and Christianity like to live in the past, in the old times. The present is too confronting. We have now a common language, that’s English, the internet and online translators and lo and behold, no mythical ‘God’ is destroying it. A common language and open communication threatens religion because it exposes its flaws, the scams, the bullshit, the scullduggery, the manipulation, the power plays, the intent to keep mankind ignorant and yoked, slaves and poor. But Christians and Jews will claim it’s the devils work when people are informed of things contrary to biblical belief. ...................................................................................................................................... Historicity Biblical scholars see the Book of Genesis as mythological and not as an historical account of events] Genesis is described as beginning with historicized myth and ending with mythicized history. Nevertheless, the story of Babel can be interpreted in terms of its context: Elsewhere in Genesis, it is stated that Babel (LXX: Βαβυλών) formed part of Nimrod's kingdom, which is located in Lower Mesopotamia. The Bible does not specifically mention that Nimrod ordered the building of the tower, but many other sources have associated its construction with him. Genesis 11:9 attributes the Hebrew version of the name, Babel, to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew. The first century Roman-Jewish author Flavius Josephus similarly explained that the name was derived from the Hebrew word Babel (בבל), meaning "confusion". In the biblical introduction of the Tower of Babel account, in Genesis 11:1, it is said that everyone on Earth spoke the same language, but this is inconsistent with the biblical description of the post-Noahic world described in Genesis 10:5, where it is said that the descendants of Shem, Ham, and Japheth gave rise to different nations, each with their own language. LANGUAGES: It was mostly undisputed that pre-human australopithecines did not have communication systems significantly different from those found in great apes in general. However, a 2017 study on Ardipithecus ramidus challenges this belief. Scholarly opinions vary as to the developments since the appearance of the genus Homo some 2.5 million years ago. Some scholars assume the development of primitive language-like systems (proto-language) as early as Homo habilis (2.3 million years ago) while others place the development of primitive symbolic communication only with Homo erectus (1.8 million years ago) or Homo heidelbergensis (0.6 million years ago), and the development of language proper with anatomically modern Homo sapiens with the Upper Paleolithic revolution less than 100,000 years ago. In March 2024, researchers reported that the beginnings of human language began about 1.6 million years ago. (Long before the mythical story of Adam & Eve) ..................................................................................................................................... Here’s a Christian viewpoint according to their typical religious nonsense. What Was the Tower of Babel? The Tower of Babel is a biblical story found in the Book of Genesis, specifically in Genesis 11. According to the biblical narrative, after the Great Flood, people spoke a single language and migrated to the land of Shinar (Babylonia). There, they decided to build a tower that would reach the heavens, intending to make a name for themselves and prevent being scattered across the earth. God, displeased with their pride and ambition, decided to confuse their language so that they could no longer understand each other. This linguistic confusion led to the scattering of the people across the earth, and the tower construction was halted. As a result, the place was called Babel, which means "confusion." The story is often interpreted as a cautionary tale about the consequences of human pride and disobedience, as well as a theological explanation for the diversity of languages among humanity. In this article, we’ll endeavor to discuss what was the Tower of Babel physically and spiritually, and why it matters to us today. What Did the Tower of Babel Look Like? Most likely, the Tower of Babel was something known as a ziggurat structure built by the people of Shinar (historians have not come to a conclusion as to the exact location of Shinar). A ziggurat, a pyramid-like structure made of mudbrick (Genesis 11:3), often had ties with pagan religions such as those of the Babylonians and Marduk. Although Marduk didn’t really get his claim to fame until the 1800s BC (and Answers In Genesis places the construction of the Tower of Babel in 2200s BC), ziggurat structures started around 3,000 BC, well before the Tower of Babel construction. Ziggurat structures undoubtedly had pagan roots, as they were built for the patron deity of that land. Nimrod (Genesis 10:8), Noah’s great-grandson and a mighty man or giant, who ordered the construction of the tower, likely didn’t have the best of intentions. Because the people of Shinar wanted to reach the heavens, we can imagine this was a very tall ziggurat structure. Scripture doesn’t tell us how far along God let them build the tower before he disrupted their progress. The Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1563) Where Was the Tower of Babel Located? Although we likely don't have the exact coordinates, we can hazard a guess that the Tower of Babel was located in what would later be the Babylon we come to know in 586 BC. Most likely, in modern terms, Iraq. This makes sense, given the Ziggurat-shaped building, instead of similar projects being built in that area at the time. Babylon was slightly different during the time of this construction as opposed to the Babylon we'll get to know centuries later. But even then, it was a city of depravity and ruin. No wonder the Bible talks so badly about Babylon when we get to Revelation. Babylon consistently appears in the Bible narrative. First, when mankind rebels against God right after the Flood. God told humanity to spread throughout the earth, but they stayed put and, in defiance, built a tower to reach the heavens (more on this in a moment). Furthermore, Babylon later sacks Jerusalem in the 6th century BC and makes an appearance in Revelation as the whore of Babylon. What Does the Bible Say about the Tower of Babel? Let's take a look at the verses found in Genesis 11:1-9, and we'll discuss: Notice how they acknowledge that God told them to scatter throughout the earth. He didn't want them to stay in one spot. Nevertheless, they defied him. They built this tower to shake a fist at the sky. In doing so, they wrote the demise of one language. Hence, the reasons why we have so many languages today. It all started with the Tower of Babel. Even when they attempted to defy God, they didn't stand a chance to go against his will. Spiritual Meaning of the Tower of Babel The Tower of Babel, plain and simple, was an act of rebellion against God. Josephus, a historian, points to one of the main reasons that Nimrod ordered the construction of the Tower of Babel was to create a structure tall enough to withstand another worldwide flood like the one seen in Genesis 6 and the story of Noah's Ark. Nimrod appeared to have forgotten the purpose of the flood in the first place. God sent a worldwide flood because of the earth’s vast wickedness and depravity. In a way, Nimrod shakes his fist at God, saying, “I’ll create a structure so high that even you can’t destroy me.” He tries to equate himself with God. Not to mention, the ziggurat structure had deep pagan roots before Nimrod ordered its construction. Therefore, like the people pre-Flood, the people of Shinar engage in the things of this world rather than the things of God. Furthermore, the people of Babel didn’t follow God’s command to spread throughout the whole earth. They settled in Shinar in direct disobedience and began to build this structure they hoped would last. As we see in the Bible, it didn’t. Main Themes of the Tower of Babel The story of the Tower of Babel is rich with symbolic and spiritual meanings that have been interpreted in various ways by different religious traditions and scholars. Here are some common interpretations: Pride and Arrogance: One of the central themes is the cautionary tale against human pride and arrogance. The people in the story sought to build a tower to make a name for themselves and reach the heavens, displaying a desire for self-exaltation. The consequence of their pride was the confusion of language and the scattering of the people. Disobedience: The story can be seen as a narrative about disobedience to God's will. The people did not follow God's command to "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth" (Genesis 9:1), but instead, they gathered in one place to build a tower to reach the heavens. Unity and Diversity: The linguistic confusion resulting in the scattering of people is often interpreted as a way to promote diversity among humanity. While the people initially sought unity through the tower, God's intervention introduced linguistic diversity, emphasizing the importance of embracing differences. God's Sovereignty: The story underscores God's sovereignty and control over human affairs. God, as the Creator, can intervene in human activities and disrupt plans that go against His divine purposes. The symbolism of the Tower: The tower itself can symbolize human attempts to reach God through human efforts, as opposed to relying on divine guidance and humility. It serves as a reminder that true spiritual elevation comes from a humble and obedient relationship with God. Lessons in Humility: The Tower of Babel story teaches humility and the acknowledgment of God's authority. It suggests that human accomplishments should be aligned with God's will and not driven by a desire for self-glorification. Significance of the Tower of Babel This story matters because we see what happens when mankind tries to prevent the acts of God. They tried, by their own hands, to create their own ark of salvation, their own fortress. But salvation only comes through God. We can’t continue to live in sin and create a “Tower of Babel” for ourselves, hoping we’ll craft a structure high enough to avoid the wrath of God. Maybe we don’t build physical mud-brick ziggurat structures today, but we do often try to create our own versions of the Tower of Babel. We think, maybe through our good works, maybe through our attending church weekly, maybe through our community services can we build a structure high enough to avoid God’s judgment. Yet we learn that God doesn’t work that way. A tower can’t save us. We need to find salvation through him. We also learn that if we try to directly disobey a command from God, that he will intervene. Just like Jonah tried to sail the opposite way from where God called him, God sent a huge fish to swallow him and transport him back to Nineveh (Jonah 1:17). And just like the people of Shinar refused to populate the whole earth and settle, God confused their languages, forcing them to move and fill the earth. ..........................................................................................................................
Genesis 10 King James Version 10 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. 13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. 15 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth, 16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, 17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. 22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. 25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. 26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. 30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
And in Chapter 11..... Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. .....That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth. Contradiction? Oooooh noooooo, it's Gods word!
Noah's Ark mountain formation Mountain discovery could provide proof of Noah's Ark March 11, 2025 Topics: Eternal bullshit An archaeological discovery could prove the existence of Noah's Ark. Experts at the Mount Ararat and Noah's Ark Research team have made the findings after collecting rock and soil samples from the summit of the mountain on the Turkey-Iran border - which has a shape resembling that of a ship and dimensions that mirror the boat's description in the Bible. The rock and soil samples were found to contain traces of clay-like materials, marine deposits and seafood remnants after analysis from boffins at Istanbul Technical University. It was then determined that the materials were between 3500 and 5000 years old, which coincides with the time frame associated with the era of the biblical flood where the boat came to the rescue of animals. The researchers said: "Our studies show that this region harboured life in that period and that, at some point, it was covered by water, which reinforces the possibility that a catastrophic event of great magnitude occurred."
