If you haven't seen this documentary on how the 2020 US presidential election was stolen, Anonymous Conservative gives four links where you can see it free.

If you have any interest in the US government, or in surveillance, it's worth a look.
Things I learned:

1. If you carry a sell phone, you are being tracked wherever you go, and this tracking info is saved and sold.
2. Thousands of people were hired to illegally collect and deposit ballots in ballot boxes on the street, stealing the presidential election. They make a pretty clear case for this just based on this one fraud method, although other funny things were also being done with voting machines etc.
3. There is video (required by law for election security) of the people dropping off numbers of ballots. If the state governments cared, the people carrying out these activities could be convicted based on the phone and video data.

@issdeinschnitzel This is really sad :(
So many millions of people are missing.
Praying for the Supreme Court Justices to do what is right, and not be swayed by threats, and that God and the police would protect them and their families.

@sinbach Congratulations to you and your son!

@otso No one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit (I Cor 12:3) and we are both saying "Jesus is Lord". Salvation is by knowing Jesus, not by the excellence of our theology (although wrong theology can get in the way of knowing Jesus).
The church's answer is one God in three persons. Does anybody really fully understand that? Probably not. Most simple explanations which give God three roles (the same man can be the son of his parents, the husband of his wife, and the father of his children) seem to fall into the heresy of modalism, where you only have one person.
But should we really expect such a complete understanding of God? Can we understand wave-particle duality in a clear way? We can recite the wave behavior of photons encountering slits and the particle behavior demonstrated by the photoelectric effect, but I at least can't say I understand it. And the seraphim flying around God's throne are said to see something new about Him every circuit.

@otso @sinbach It is indeed very good because they can read the Bible and come to a knowledge of God. What can Psalm 45:6-7 mean other than that Jesus is not only a true man, but also God?

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness; you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.

These verses are applied to Jesus, whose throne is forever, and who is anointed by God the Father, in Hebrews 1:8-9.

There's a nice article on the Old Testament basis of our understanding of the Trinity by Jews for Jesus,

Also Jesus said things that show he believed himself to be God, for example Matthew 26:63-65, where he said he would be seated at the right hand of God and coming on the clouds. Cloud riding was understood to be something gods, not humans did, so he was convicted of blasphemy (which was only untrue because he is God)
