Yeah, I know. A vanity.
Why is God hyphenated, as if it can’t be said?? GOD!
I certainly think THAT AT LEAST, the 'vanity' label should be removed--it is a crucial bit of facts and suggestions about our survival as a people, a culture and a Republic. Certainly prayer is increasingly in order and emphatically so. The call to fasting is also wise. I find myself doing more and more of it.
And it is a crucial reminder that God Almighty sooner or later always weighs in on the side of the righteous.
Thanks for posting it.
Quix, for all the disagreements in our theologies . . . thank you!
Hey, you,
There’s always a big warm spot in my heart for you.
Thanks for the thread.
BTW,
Some have claimed that many disasters/attacks etc. have occurred against Israel/Israelites on Purim and may again this time vis a vis Iran etc.
What are your thoughts on that?
Amen!
Awesome vanity!! God bless and may the Almighty do to the evil liberal vomits what he did to those who were ready to annihilate the Jewish folks.
It is a sign of respect in Judaism. (A fuller explanation.)
Oh, ok.
“however “absent” G-d may appear”
Good post. I pray and fast regularly, and am prepared for end times. That said, the phrase above reminded me of a joke, which might lift your melancholy for a while.
Two young Jewish boys were always getting into trouble. One parent asked their rabbi to speak to them. The rabbi agreed, and he thought he would approach them from the angle that even though they think they may get away with mischief, God is always watching them.
He thought he would ask them “where is God?”, to kickoff the discussion.
So after school he sees one boy and brings him to his office.
“Where is God?” he says in a loud voice.
The kid was frozen, not speaking.
“Where is God?” he said louder.
The boy was immobile.
“WHERE IS GOD?” the rabbi boomed.
The boy took off and ran home, jumped in bed and hid under the covers.
His friend found him in bed and asked why he was cowering in fear.
“We’re really in trouble now. God is missing and rabbi thinks we did it!”
I was rolling with you until you turned it into an anti-gay essay.
Gays aren’t the problem.
I know that makes cracks in Free Republics underpinnings, and even tempts many to hit the zot button, but it’s true - and I’ll prove it to you, right now.
Gays aren’t the problem, because the problem is actually what gays are being used as an excuse to do. And what is that? Impose administrative laws where they don’t belong.
Would you care if no restrictive laws were being issued with gays as their cover? No, of course not. You’d still feel whatever you feel towards homosexuality, but they wouldn’t be a threat to the country.
To paraphrase Clinton, “it’s the administrative laws, stupid.”
And those laws have grown out of control. Gays, Feminists, the war on drugs, the war on terror, immigration, taxation, travel, ID, you name it - all excuses to impose administrative laws in place of the common law of the original Constitution.
Those operating this legal attack understand this clearly. Even the stupidest liberal isn’t all that attached to any particular “cause,” even though they scream, yell, throw tantrums and use vicious dirty tricks on their behalf - they don’t really care.
What they care about is obeying the group instructions. And those instructions say: 1) learn they techniques;, and 2) apply them to the causes we tell you.
So they do. And when the cover-stories shift, they shrug and apply their techniques to the next cover story. And they laugh - literally laugh - at anyone who actually believes in any particular position on any particular issue. They see that as literal stupidity. Because once you sell your soul, like they have, group obedience, and efficiency in group obedience, becomes your truth, your philosophy, and your life. And to those people, you’re either in, or you’re out - and there’s only on thing to decide. Not multiple issues.
This is what empowers the evil of the world. A very well thought out group organization plan based on creating utter moral cowardice in its members - and rewarding it.
So despite the issues, and despite the groups, what we are really looking at is a battle for souls - between those who refuse to lose their humanity, and those who laugh out loud at the very notion of hanging on to it.
And in that, it is indeed a global Biblical-level battle of the End TImes, a purification by self-selection, in an environment that God has allowed to exist, so as to make these personal choices possible.
That God allows to exist - until he doesn’t anymore, because everyone has chosen.
God is not mocked, no matter how evil may laugh.
To paraphrase the Tao Te Ching, “if fools did not laugh aloud when confronted with God’s Command, it would not be God’s Command.”
Not sure. We are told to call upon His name.
Zechariah 13:9
(9) And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried; they shall call on My name, and I will answer them; I will say: ‘It is My people’, and they shall say: ‘YHWH is my God.’
INDEED.
What are your thoughts on that?
I'm not sure. I'd like to think that Jews are safer on Purim rather than less safe, but the Nazis used to kill Jews on Purim to avenge Haman and his sons.
Lol! Thanks.
