Spain's Supreme Court Rules Against Using Vaccine Passports To Restrict Access To Public Spaces
Spain’s Supreme Court made waves last week by becoming the first judicial authority in Europe to rule against the use of covid passports to restrict access to public spaces — specifically hospitality businesses (bars, restaurants and nightclubs). It is not the first Spanish court to come out against vaccine passports but it is the most important. So far, only five of Spain’s 17 autonomous regions – the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, Andalusia, Cantabria and Galicia – have proposed using vaccine passports to restrict access to public spaces. And all have been rejected by local judges.

DHS Insider Blows Whistle on International Child Sex Trafficking Gangs Exploiting ‘Reasonable Fear’ Loophole … ‘Every Single One of These Transnational Criminal Organizations Are Involved in Sex Trafficking’
Department of Homeland Security [DHS] Insider: “Once an [illegal immigrant] informs the U.S. government that they have some type of fear, or that their life is in jeopardy, or they’ll be persecuted, or they may be tortured, they are put in what’s called the ‘reasonable fear [category]’…Once [a migrant gang member] makes the declaration of, ‘My life is in danger and I may be harmed if I return home,’ they’re taken off the [Transnational Organized Crime] watchlist. That makes it a giant loophole.”
To have a Department of Homeland Security insider come forward is HUGE. More than you know.

There's a Newsweek article I saw that points out that Big Pharma companies have immunity from prosecution, but LIMITED immunity. The limit is if they do anything that is considered to be "willful misconduct," which would include falsifying research data.
Trump always says that we have a choice, and then promotes the mainstream narrative that vaccines work. There are a number of reasons why he might be doing this. The first is to see the reaction of the people. The second is to set up Big Pharma for the biggest fall of a corporate giant since the fall of Babylon.
He's setting up something. We don't know what it is yet, but he has high-level information on this operation, and he did not say these things for no reason. He knows what's going on, and we may not understand what he's doing yet, but I have the freedom to say 'no' to vaccines, and since he has kept his word on everything else, I'll trust him to do the right thing for the time being.

Remember that New Zealand was told not to talk to each other. That was what they said. Why? They don't want you all to communicate what's going on, and specifically, they don't want you all finding out what they've done. It seems like some very serious criminal charges are coming, and the only way they can survive is if you all don't communicate and rally together.

For some insane reason, government employees think that if they repeat a police over and over and over and over, it will change something. When I stood up the BMV and told them we weren't wearing masks, I had Indiana State policy repeated to me no less than three times. I heard it the first time; that was enough.
It's very much like making a Biblical argument and a churchgoer wants to repeat what he pastor said over and over as if that will change something.

Did you guys see about 14:30, the officer on the right turns his head and laughs a little. It did not seem like he was laughing because he was mocking, but I think he was laughing at the female irate officer. Notice that he didn't turn his head away from the camera man, he turned away from HER, so she wouldn't see him laughing when she got challenged to arrest him.

Not really wanting to have a discussion about what the Gospel of Jesus Christ teaches. Doesn't really want to learn about it either. Like pulling teeth to get a testimony out of him, and then he tucks tail and runs as soon as he would be required to do any study. Claims he has no time, but writes lengthy posts because he has time. Excuse, excuse, excuse.
Doesn't that sound like all the qualities of a born again Christian? But, how dare we question him because there is no way we can know what's in his heart by what he says:
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
-Mat 15:18
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
-Jer 17:9

Say, Christopher, I'm just curious, but, hypothetically speaking, would you change your mind and take down articles if I were somehow ever to convince you that what you believe was a lie? I'm curious as to what my chances of convincing you are.
See? For you, it's not about learning the truth of doctrine in Scripture, but rather, it's about convincing others to adjust themselves to suit your personal feelings. So it puzzles me why you're here. It sounds like you just want us to accept what you believe so you feel comforted, instead of you coming here to acknowledge the truth of Christ.
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
-Pro 28:26
I'll try to look at those things
I don't know how someone "tries" to look into something. You either do it, or you don't. If you don't want to look at that stuff, that's fine. You don't have to. (Just don't give us the excuse that you don't have time, because you seem to have time to write lengthy posts.) But don't expect us to automatically agree that you've been born again in Jesus Christ because, based on your testimony, I don't see it. And as for you coming to this forum, it is strange for a man to seek fellowship with those who do not believe as he believes.
However, that being said, I have taken down articles I've written before because they were wrong. I've re-written articles because they had errors. That is all documented and proven by many eye witnesses. What we DO NOT have eye witnesses or evidence of is YOU being corrected, because as soon as we started correcting you with Scripture, you started pushing back.
Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

I've put in the work to study God's Word, now you're going to have to show us that, sometime over the past decade, you have at least made some attempt to do the same. If you read over (or listen to) that material, feel free to come back and make an argument against it, and we'll have a discussion about it.

It's clear that you guys don't accept the change of mind one, so why's that?
Scripture has already been quoted to you and you just ignored it. (Doesn't sound like Christians that I know.) I don't know how else to say this because three people have already told you, but here it is a little more clearly:
READ. THE. TEACHING.
Or listen to them if you want, here's the links:

Just to clarify, in case for some reason you are not understanding what we're asking, we did not request that you had to give your life story. We simply were asking you to give a testimony of your conversion to Jesus Christ. For someone who is reluctant to write anything because he thinks he can't write things very well, you seem to have a unique ability to beat around the bush, which is confusing me.
After scanning through a lot of what you wrote, this paragraph alone seems to be your conversion testimony, correct?
It was only until I left high school and began using the internet that I began to do some digging around, and I do have to say that I hardly read the bible during that time; I had stumbled across a certain site on the web (Jesus is savior.com) which was quite controversial to look at, I noticed on many of his articles that he would mention the gospel which is the good news. and I loved it because it was exactly like what he said, good news. and I believed it. and I remember being extremely happy, and spirited, and zealous. I actually remember writing down many of the things he had said into a journal. I had still been to a lesser degree in the motions of sin, and that because of my past sins, namely lust, worldliness/covetousness. and this still continued on a bit for some time 'til I had begun to hit my early twenties. but I noticed even ever since my conversion some changes. 1) I had begun to pay attention to God. 2) God began to write his word on the tablet of my heart; i.e. I began to memorize his word. 3) I began to antagonize sin, save only those ones that I didn't provide much of a defense against. because I believe that I still had a coping issue, and my sin of lust was still quite strong in me. and in the end I had kept this thing to myself that the degree of my lust began to rise. and this is why I still sinned much later on in my life. but now I noticed that the flesh had a hard time governing over me, because I was resisting it. I was in the Spirit, though the fleshly influences were still there.
Let's review:
I noticed on many of his articles that he would mention the gospel which is the good news. and I loved it because it was exactly like what he said, good news. and I believed it. and I remember being extremely happy, and spirited, and zealous.
Okay, that confirms for me that you were not brought to repentance by the Holy Ghost. What you just said is not how men are saved according to Scripture. If you want to understand that more, then I would recommend this:
Why Millions of Believers on Jesus Are Going to Hell
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon [i.e. quickly] with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
-Matthew 13:20-21
I had still been to a lesser degree in the motions of sin
I guarantee you that no one on this forum can understand that sentence. I have no idea what it means to be "in the motions of sin to a lesser degree." That is the kind of statement you get from someone who is trying to avoid saying something directly, and it puts me on guard because it is the proud of heart that makes those kinds of statements.
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
-James 4:6-10
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
-2Co 7:10
because of my past sins, namely lust, worldliness/covetousness
So you were in the motions of lust, but not in lust as much as others, just to a lesser degree, and the same with covetousness? Again, I see someone dodging the truth to convince us of something, not someone who understands the truth of Scripture. When it comes to sin, you are telling us "Kind of, but not really, but sort of." That's not a statement that comes from one who has understood the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
-1 John 1:9-10
I noticed even ever since my conversion some changes. 1) I had begun to pay attention to God. 2) God began to write his word on the tablet of my heart; i.e. I began to memorize his word. 3) I began to antagonize sin
Wait... where was the conversion? It's as if you completely skipped it. Did you realize that (if I read your testimony correctly) the only times you mentioned Jesus Christ were when you talked about what you were told you have to believe about Him, and then later at the end, you mentioned Him again in the "optional" section.
I'm having to guess based on your timeline, but this was supposed to be close to a decade ago, and it still seems like you have no understanding of God's Word. I'm not saying you have to know everything, but these are the basics of the Gospel. Are we to believe that the Holy Ghost has kept you in ignorance for the better part of a decade? Or is it more reasonable to say that you have never come to repentance and do not understand what that means according to God's Word?
Again, I would recommend reading the short book in the link above; it's free-to-read. After you read that, come back and talk with us again about your thoughts on it.
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

From what I can gather, the site jesus-is-savior.com played a key role in your conversion. I remember looking at that site a few years ago. If I recall correctly, it is run by a man named David Stewart. While there were some good things on that site, there were things about it that troubled me. For one thing, he seemed to have a rather prideful spirit. For another, some of his articles had a decidedly anti-Semitic flavour.Just commenting quickly to say that, sometime in the future, I will be releasing an expose on David J. Stewart, the owner and operator of jesus-is-savior.com. Here is a quote I recovered from his site that he quickly took down after some people noticed his strange comments:
"I personally am not a Christian or a member of any religion for that matter, however even I can see the inherent evil in this philosophy."
