For edification and in leading by the Holy Spirit, I would like to share with the body of Christ the reason why I use a King James Bible, as opposed to the newer modern versions. Please know, I myself was adamantly opposed to switching from an ESV for years, being actually..

 saved through an NIV bible. I believed the issue was a small one and that it did not matter. I am not here to convince anyone that the love of God in Christ unto salvation is only found in a certain bible, for we know that a man is justified by the grace of God through faith..
apart from any works. Yet, I am led to share some findings (which others already have shared). The newer bible versions have apparently corrupted the word of God, by eliminating words and whole verses. This appears to be the enemy's game plan since most people use the modern..
versions. I am going to list book, chapter, verse (if any one wants to compare the KJV to the modern versions) with a brief description of the differences. In many cases there are whole passages that have been eliminated from the modern versions. Some of you have already done....
their own work here, esp @SolaScriptura99 and also @JoshuaVats to whom I am thankful. They have more extensive findings than mine I am sure. What is evident, is there has been a purposeful hiding of important words/terms in these newer versions such as 'blood', 'heaven',...
'kingdom', 'hell' to name only a few. In no way is this list exhaustive.

Verses
1. 1 John 4:3- NLT/NIV/ESV/ NASB eliminates Jesus Christ has "come in the flesh"
2. Phil 2:6- modern versions destroy the meaning by contradicting Jesus and the Father being one; Jesus being God
3. Matt 9:13 - NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "repentance"
4. John 6:47 - NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "believe on me" (Jesus) to just "believes"
5. Rev 22:14 - NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "do his commandments" entirely and replaces with "wash their robes"
6. Gal 5:12- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB has Paul calling for emasculation/mutilation of enemies.
7. Mark 9:29 -NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "fasting" to cast out a demon.
8. Matt 6:13- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates kingdom, power, glory, eternity (forever) from Lord's prayer
9. Luke 11:2- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates God's location in heaven in the Lord's prayer.
10. Heb 10:34-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates the lasting possession is "in heaven".
11. Rev 16:17-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates the Throne of God's location, "in heaven"
12. 1 John 5:7-8-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB completely removes the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
13. Mark 10:24-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB changes the meaning of the verse by eliminating "for them who trust in riches"
14. Luke 4:4-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates that man should live by..
"every word of God."
15. Dan 3:25-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "the Son of God" and uses either "son of the gods" or "god".
16. Rev 2:15-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes the fact that Jesus hates the Nicolaitans' teaching.
17. Rom 8:1- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "who walk not after...
the flesh, but after the Spirit".
18. Matt 19:17-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB really twists the fact that God is the one who is good.
19. Matt 25:13- NIV/ESV/NASB eliminates it is the Son of man coming.
20. John 8:9-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes "convicted by their own conscience".
21. Col 1:14-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes the fact that redemption is "through his blood".
22. 1 Peter 1:22-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes the fact obedience comes through the Spirit.
23. Rev 21:24-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "which are saved"
24. Matt 27:48-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB makes..
Jesus a liar by inserting "wine' into verse, contradicting his own word in Matt 26:29

PASSAGES REMOVED (subject): Acts 8:37 (Jesus, Son of God); 1 John 5:13 (believing on the name of the Son of God); Mark 11:26 (forgiveness); Matt 18:11 (Son of man saving lost); Mark 15:28...
(on cross); Acts 23:9 ("fight against God"); Luke 17:36 (removal of the wicked); Luke 4:8 ("Get behind me Satan"); 1Tim 6:5 (withdrawing from covetous men); Matt 17:21 (prayer and fasting); Matt 23:14 (damnation); Mark 7:16 (call to hear God's word); Mark 9:44 (hell);...

Mark 16:9-20, Luke 22:43-44, John 7:53-8:11, Isa 14:12 (Lucifer; replaced with morning star/day star which refers to Jesus Christ, 2 Pt 1:19; Rev 22:16).

There are much more than what I have listed. I pray that whoever read this tweet, will not just dismiss outright but rather
look into these things for himself/herself. We are one body and one in Christ, who is the Word of God, and we are aware that there is an enemy who always seeks to twist the word, causing doubt as to what God has said and what he did not say...
[Gen 3:1 KJV] 1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Grace and peace in Christ.

SocialCops’ 10 (base 10) Engineering Commandments — the values that drive everything for the #Engineering Team #InsideSocialCops 🙌

(Thread👇) Tell us if you can relate to any of these? Do you have your own values that guide your decisions? Share them with us! ⛳

0. Coder != engineer

Coders focus just on writing code to make something work. Engineers take a much wider view, focusing on both the problem and every aspect of the solution. 🤓

1. “Import lib”

It's not wise to waste time building tools or libraries if there’s already something that does the same job! Wherever possible, extend existing libraries and contribute back to the community. 💁‍♀️

2. With great power comes greater responsibility

Every choice we make on our platform and every feature we build stands up to a responsibility — helping people make more data-driven decisions and bring about real change for millions of people. 💪

3. Fail fast and keep learning

Failing fast is about doing lots of fast iterations and learning from each, rather than getting stuck on one solution or decision. 👊

Real talk.

The right as spent years trying to paint @NancyPelosi & @HillaryClinton as extreme leftists who will take your guns, sterilize your sons, outlaw Christianity, and tax you at 80%.

Meanwhile...

The far left has tried to insist that they were both Republican-lite.

1/

Some on the far left call them war mongering neoliberal corporate owned whores.

That's on a good day, for both.

None of these charges, by either side, are remotely true of course. Not that this matters to the people putting this shit out there.

2/

The facts are these.

@HillaryClinton and @NancyPelosi have been fighting people, usually white men, for tnings their entire lives.

With little respite.

At times they have had to make impossible choices and compromises just to beo let in the door. Most women have.

3/

It must be easy to be some 26 yo white dude who has never had anyone tell him no his whole life to sit in judgement of women like them.

"How dare she..."

...do what was necessary to get a place at the table.

...do exactly what men have been doing w/o your disapproval.

4/

Let's face it, most men suck when it comes to issues that don't pertain directly to their own self interests. White men are even worse. We just are.

Most men especially suck when it comes to women's issues and I mean really suck.

How many left leaning men fell to #MeToo?

Spent a quaint half hour in a cafe listening to a guy yell at his dad after his dad said that the women Trump molested wanted it: "Dad, that's like saying the Jews who died in the Holocaust were asking for it!" ENJOY YOUR TERRIBLE FAMILIES THIS WEEK!

"Mom, has a man ever touched you without your consent?"
"Of course."
"Did you report it?"
"No."
"Dad, your WIFE has been through this!"

Dad was unmoved and told the guy to stop arguing with him.

At this point we learned the boy child has allergies.

I forgot to remark upon the presence of the very cute grandson, who was very small and gave not one shit about the yelling. I believe a sister or aunt was present and feeling very stressed. I wanted to hand her a Xanax or seven.

It was really hard to not jump in and say, "Sounds like you guys are going to have a fun meal tomorrow!" so they could unite in hatred against me, the outsider, and stop squabbling. Instead I exchanged glances with a nearby fellow lady patron, who also emotionally ate a cookie.

Anyway, I want to thank the random family for yelling about rape and the Holocaust in an Israeli cafe in the US of A today because it reminded me that while this country isn't the greatest, it is inevitably my stupid favorite and I am never, ever bored.

Thread: Rush Limbaugh and the conservative Id

On the day of his passing, it's worth doing a brief retrospective on how Rush Limbaugh's personal life almost perfectly paralleled American conservatism...

One thing that's not commonly known about Rush Limbaugh is that he began his career in sports, doing sales for the Kansas City Royals baseball team. That's significant because much of the tribalism and dumbed-down rhetoric in American TV news directly came from sports media.

Television journalism in its earliest days was a fantastic product with real investigative reporting, no filibustering live interviews, and no soundbites. This began changing in the 1970s when ABC Sports president Roone Arledge was put in charge of ABC News.

Limbaugh tried to be a conventional FM deejay but kept getting fired because his personality was too abrasive. After working with the Royals, he began a small political talk show for a Sacremento station. The Reagan repeal of the Fairness Doctrine made his show possible.

Rush Limbaugh's Sacramento show started in 1984 (he replaced Morton Downey Jr) and after 5 years, he was picked up by ABC Radio which was trying to copy some of the sensationalism that ABC News television had started. It was a perfect fit.

Like most movements, I have learned that the definition of feminism has expanded to include simply treating women like human beings.

(A thread for whoever feels like reading)


I have observed feminists on Twitter advocating for rape victims to be heard, rapists to be held accountable, for people to address the misogyny that is deeply rooted in our culture, and for women to be treated with respect.

To me, very easy things to get behind.

And the amount of pushback they receive for those very basic requests is appalling. I see men trip over themselves to defend rape and rapists and misogyny every chance they get. Some accounts are completely dedicated to harassing women on this site. It’s unhealthy.

Furthermore, I have observed how dedicated these misogynists are by how they treat other men that do not immediately side with them. There is an entire lexicon they have created for men who do not openly treat women with disrespect.

Ex: simp, cuck, white knight, beta

All examples of terms they use to demean a man who respects women.

To paraphrase what a wise man on this app said:

Some men hate women so much, they hate men who don’t hate women

*Heads-up that this thread will feature some extreme examples of homophobia and transphobia.*

Hey folks, have you ever wondered why trans people face constant accusations of fetishism, sexual predation and child abuse/grooming? Well, today let's talk about stochastic terrorism.

So, first we have to talk about what stochastic terrorism actually is. Remember when there was a conspiracy that there was a pedophile ring operating out of a pizza parlour basement, and a crazed gunman showed up? It's that sort of incitement that stochastic terrorism describes.

It's the demonisation or incitement against a group of people or individuals with the intent that other, unaffiliated parties will act upon it; it's the releasing doctored footage and a shooter show up at Planned Parenthood as a direct result of what he's been led to believe.

So with that in mind, let's talk about Russia's extreme anti-LGBT laws that banned the "promotion" of LGBT lifestyles to children. A move that specifically marked LGBT people as a threat to children, and resulted in neo-nazis meting out vigilante "justice" against gay men.


Groups such as this would lure unsuspecting gay men via dating sites, and brutalise and humiliate them on camera. They did so under the guise of combating child abusers, one group calling themselves "Occupy

Today is “Korean American Day”.

#OTD in 1903, the first large group of Korean immigrants arrived in US-conquered territory. [Thread]


102 Korean men, women, and children arrived in Honolulu aboard the SS Gaelic to work in Hawaii’s sugar plantations. By 1905, Koreans comprised 11% of Hawaii’s plantation workforce—around 7000 people.


This first wave of Korean immigrants arrived amid sharpening imperialist rivalry in the Pacific. Korea had slowly been losing its independence for decades, and by 1903 was just two years away from becoming a protectorate of Japan.

At the same time, the US was consolidating its position in the Pacific, annexing Hawaii, Guam, and the Philippines in 1898, and partitioning Samoa in 1899.

(Pictured: US troops in the Philippines)


US missionaries colluded with the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association to secure a new, cheap labor force for Hawaii’s sugar fields. Many of the Koreans who arrived in Hawaii from 1903-1905 were Methodists.

So friends here is the thread on the recommended pathway for new entrants in the stock market.

Here I will share what I believe are essentials for anybody who is interested in stock markets and the resources to learn them, its from my experience and by no means exhaustive..

First the very basic : The Dow theory, Everybody must have basic understanding of it and must learn to observe High Highs, Higher Lows, Lower Highs and Lowers lows on charts and their

Even those who are more inclined towards fundamental side can also benefit from Dow theory, as it can hint start & end of Bull/Bear runs thereby indication entry and exits.


Next basic is Wyckoff's Theory. It tells how accumulation and distribution happens with regularity and how the market actually

Dow theory is old but

STORY OF PURANAS AND SUB PURANA (उप पुराण).

We have already gone through the series on importance & characteristics of all the eighteen Purans. We also know that originally there were hundred crore shlokas but were divided by Vyas in each Kalp and was compiled as eighteen Purans


for the common people to understand it properly and now their total is about four lakhs.

In Brahm Puran, Brahma preached this to Marichi. So this Puran of ten thousand shlokas is called Brahm Puran.

In Padma Puran, the base of the story is the appearance of Brahma on a lotus(Padm) from Vishnu' s navel.This has fifty five thousand shlokas.

Vishnu Puran is primarily based in Varah kalp. This book is on Vishnu and this book has twenty three thousand shlokas.

Vaayu Puran is written in Shwet Kalp and has twenty four thousand shlokas. Here Vayudev preaches about Dharma.

In Bhagwat Puran, which is written with the base of Gayatri mantra describes Dharma extensively. It has 18000 shlokas. It also mentions the story of Vritrasur.

In Narad Puran, which has twenty five thousand shlokas, is a sermon on Dharma by Narad based in Brihad Kalp.

Markandeya Puran has nine thousand shlokas and here it is through the birds that Dharma is described.

Butt plugs were originally sold as a miracle cure for headaches, acne, and insanity

Thread, article here and h/t: @qikipedia :
https://t.co/Ts84xnmWKJ


For a long time, medicine was pre-occupied with the question "can this be solved by putting something in the butt?"

Take, for example, tobacco smoke enemas, in which 18th Century physicians saw drowning victims and attempted to de-deadify them by blowing tobacco smoke up their rectums with a pipe.


Despite having no medical benefit whatsoever, the practice was popular, and enema kits lined the Thames like lifebelts, ready to be used as one final humiliation for somebody who was crap at swimming.

This practice ended sometime after 1800 when it became apparent that it didn't really work, given how the anus famously isn't really connected to the lungs, but doctors weren't quite finished with having a poke around in the old anus to see what happens just yet.
