Chronological Gospel – What is it?

That which is called the Chronological Gospel was initially penned by Trevor McIlwain of New Tribes Mission. There have been published at least three versions–a western version for adults, a western version for children, and a tribal version.

One will also find many other versions and many other names of essentially the same idea of teaching the Bible chronologically, starting with Genesis 1:1.

Keeping the original format, the first 68 lessons begin with the teaching of Genesis and Exodus (which is the first two-thirds of the lessons), after which one fast forwards to the life of Christ.

Lessons 69-80 are a summation of the first 68 lessons, primarily returning to the Old Testament lessons, and clearly placing Christ in the Old Testament.

After these 80 lessons, teaching has also been prepared in Acts, Romans, and Ephesians to be followed by lessons in other New Testament books.

The New York Times Does Insane White-Wash of the Portland Murderer, Calls Him ‘De-Escalation’ Expert

This entire thing is giving me serious “Austere Religious Scholar” flashbacks. How any media outlet could write such a white-washed, almost glowing piece about a murderer is beyond me. Also not that they had no problem smearing the victim as a right-wing extremist in the same article.

The media are truly the enemies of the people. I have no qualms with that language at this point, and anyone that does should get their head out of the sand.

On the Radar -- Balloons & El Al

David Blaine acted out every child’s fantasy today when he strapped himself to 52 helium-filled balloons and then parachuted back to earth from 25,000 feet. Blaine lifted off just before 15:00 UTC from Page, Arizona and climbed for about 45 minutes before releasing himself from the cluster of balloons. //

A new aircraft type in the Flightradar24 database
We had to make some database additions to accommodate Blaine’s unique form of transportation. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first ever ADS-B-equipped bunch of balloons. //

Israeli national carrier El Al made history today, operating its first ever flight between Tel Aviv, Israel and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The 737-900ER performing flight LY971 took 3 hours 17 minutes to complete the 2,110 kilometer journey. It’s a historic flight for the airline but also for Israel and the UAE, as it marks the beginning of a thawing of relations between the two nations. //

The El Al flight acted as a symbol – of the possibility to move beyond those hostilities, or at least to begin the process. In a nod to that fact, the outbound flight number 971 is the international dialing code for the UAE, while the return will carry the Israeli code 972.

Are Environmentalists Hiring Conservative Groups To Oppose Nuclear Energy?

A left-leaning group seems to be promoting a conservative group opposing nuclear power... what gives? //

The future is bright for the DC-3 | Flightradar24 Blog

The DC-3 is one of the finest aircraft ever made, but it's pushing 80+ years old. New BT-67 turbo versions may continue to fly for decades to come.

Did Mueller Prosecutors Know of Problems With Carter Page FISA, Approved It Anyway, and Later “Recreated” The “Woods File” To Cover Up The Misconduct?

How does the Woods File — stored electronically in the FBI’s Sentinel database — get “lost”? And at what point in time did the SCO decide it was necessary to “reconstruct” a replacement Woods File by reverse engineering it through analyzing the applications to determine the specific factual allegations needed source documentation — other than the Steele Memos — in order to justify their inclusion in the third application to extend.

Was the ACTUAL Woods File so lacking — or so dependent on the allegations of the Steele Memos — that someone in the SCO realized it was a “ticking time bomb” waiting to be uncovered once an authorized investigator was given the responsibility to sort things out? //

And now we have Sara Carter’s report that the “Woods File” for the Page FISA application was at some undetermined point in time “recreated” by the Special Counsel’s Office after the original file was “lost” in an electronic database that doesn’t “lose” things.
