It was the Ruskies that took Berlin.
To enter that rat-fight would be like throwing gasoline to douse a campfire!
Yeah, we might have taken Berlin... but what was to gain?
Nada, zip, ziltch!
I like to say that I get it straight from the horses' mouth. The Horses Mouth?
Aw come off it, all you who are squeemish about irreverance. I'd say the same about my best friend.
...
...In fact...
...I just did.
If you call Him, do you really think He's gonna let somebody else take the call?
Do you really think He's going to let some else answer when you call for Him?
Or do you think He might just be "unavailable" (like maybe gone to the bathroom) and Lucifer or the Anti-Christ or Satan or whoever might just pick up the phone and disguise his voice?
Or do you think maybe Jesus might just say, "Aaaaa...you get it. I'm watching TV."
Come on. If you ask Jesus for guidance, He will guide you.
Ask Jesus for protection. He will protect you.
Why not ask Him to screen out all voices other than His? Especially the voice of the anti-Christ, if that's what you're worried about.
Come on, man. If you can't trust Jesus--whom can you trust? If you can't trust Him--everything's lost anyway.
Hurry before they bring out the Cheerleaders!
I stand by my statement.
and... yes, I believe you can call for help at any time and He will answer, but sometimes the answer is "no".
You were right the first time . . . Bill & Hillary isn't done yet.
They are one and the same . . ends of an alimentary canal.
Read Genesis and you'll see that Ephraim and Manasseh received the name "Israel" while Jacob-Israel was on his death bed. Judah was never named Israel and shouldn't be today, except maybe as part of the 13 tribes. Now who are Ephraim and Manasseh today? Follow the trail of the ten tribes taken by the Assyrians and Babylonians through Europe and you'll see they ended up in Britain and Northwestern Europe before America was colonozied. Now read the bible to find out the characteristics of each tribe. Ephraim is Britain, Manasseh is America. The middle-Eastern country called "Israel" today should have been named "Judah" or "Judea". The good and bad fig were planted there in 1948. The U.K. and America are Israel, that's why it is necessary to conquer Israel to rule the world.
You are right. The AC will have his power, not just because of the drunks in the bar down the street will worship him, or just because those bikers down by the river will worship him, but because people who go to church but don't study God's Word will think He's Jesus come to either perform the rapture or bring peace and prosperity to the world.
Fine, but don't even think of coming back out without your environmental awareness ribbon! That means you're Anti-Environment, and we don't take kindly to that.
If one doesn't put any work into it, He may be unavailable:
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
What you're saying is that if someone is deceived by Lucifer, it's because he is willing to be deceived by Lucifer. I think you're right. (And I think Lucifer must be something to behold!)
In fact...I'm convinced of it.
That's why I contend that the Islamic terrorists, on some level, know very well that they are not serving God and that they are serving Satan--or Lucifer--or The Devil--or evil--or the Dark Side--or whatever one wants to call it. No matter what they call this "god" they serve, it is evil and not God.
In other words, they are devil-worshippers--and they know it.
As you point out: They are deceived by Lucifer because they are willing to be.
They probably want to be "deceived" by him, because they want his assistance in achieving their worldly aims--a Faustian bargain--which are to avenge their pride hurt by Western imperialism, their own failure to rise above poverty and ignorance, the failure of their "culture", and their insignificance in the world.
Those who allow themselves to be deceived by Lucifer, actually want to, in order to strike a Faustian bargain of one kind or another.
You will agree, I think, that anyone who asks for the guidance and protection of Jesus Christ will receive them and will be safe from any satanic influence. I mean, no matter how crafty Lucifer may be, he is no match for Jesus Christ--unless some hapless fool should be receptive to him. Right?
One may need to work hard for some very good reasons, but surrender to Jesus Christ and his guidance is not one of them. That's the easiest thing in the world.
