True. Or maybe not.
The concessions to evil you promote through acceptance of failure is unbelievable.
So you are saying there is no use in fighting evil because it’s already won. Sorry, I don’t agree with you. There are too many good people in this country, generous, God loving, people who lead their lives in honor to God.
No, I am saying that America is a dying and decadent nation who is given over the control of our social order to radical flat earth marxist democrats and rinos who are working together in DC and in the state houses to fully bring Americans under the bootheel of communism. They have successfully destroyed the school systems and the government and the economy and are now destroying the military.
It is a grim and evil day and you who hold to optimistic conservatism are deceived if you refuse the truth that is so obvious. I hope it can be turned around but only the Lord Jesus Christ will be able to do the miracle that America needs. Not one politician will.
As an interesting (I hope) contrast... Judaism believes that the satan (literally, “one who causes to turn [astray]”) is created by G-d and totally subservient and yet is tasked with a mission to make man stray. He in fact wants man to overcome for in the end he too wants G-d’s will to be fulfilled. An analogy is given that he passes the buck to someone who understands less clearly about G-d and His will. And in turn that (angel, being, etc) passes it to another (4-levels removed...ask your local kabbalist—but not Madonna’s) until the one holding the stick is on such a low level that he doesn’t understand at all that the original task came from G-d...and this emissary really does want to cause man to stray just for the sake of it. Anyway...it’s how we resolve the existence of a satan yet maintain that there is nothing (not even ‘evil’) that isn’t completely of, by, and subservient to G-d.
One more thing... flaming blue skulls are scary....
[As an interesting (I hope) contrast...]
Interesting, but un-Scriptural and certainly not true, Satan is a fallen angel who hates God and mankind whom God created in His image.
...that depends on the scripture... but the verdict is in—it’s interesting!
[acceptance of failure is unbelievable.]
You are a slanderer, much as Satan is.
“Demonic Sexual Possession”?
Sounds like fun. Where do we sign up? lol
what did they do in Gommorah?
>> You are a slanderer, much as Satan is.
>> America is reaching the end of the line and the next two years will drive Americans to the end of themselves...
The prophet of doom decries rejection of failure as slander. I’m not the one with Satanic issues.
“....and how bad were Sodom and Gomorrah?”
Probably not half as bad as some of the stuff we’re seeing today. I doubt they were trying to finagle their way into the armed forces under the guise of “equality”!
There is another interesting point about Sodom and Gemorah... our (Jewish) commentaries say that their worst attribute was a disdain for kindness and charity. They were exacting to a fault... one would say to himself, “I earned it. That beggar didn’t. Such is life. Why should I give to him?” And this was the reason they were destroyed (the homosexual story with Lot’s visitors is adjunct.)
So perhaps this is telling of our times— the government is removing incentive towards charity (to become the sole arbiter or who deserves what...) which is an affront to how we are commanded to strive to conduct ourselves and treat our fellow.
49 “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. Ezekiel 16:49-50
Interesting stuff. I didn’t realize that was the main reason those cities were destroyed. I’m glad to know this—thanks.
I’ve saved that! Thank you!
That's not the main reason. The book of Jude (as well as the text of Genesis 19) makes if very clear Sodom was destroyed for unnatural sexual immorality.
