So is cancer a metaphor for the entrenched systems that are dug in deep, like the deep state, or is the established system that is "too big too fail" the basis from which cancer gets its legs? The chicken or the egg conundrum.
No one is going to cure cancer by doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
John was the one who received the revelation (discovery) of Jesus Christ. He was the same who was very careful not to read into things:
John 21
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
John sounds like the wet blanket of the group. It might explain why he ended up on an island by himself.
Your reply is very speculative and unclear. Do you accept the Bible as God’s inspired, inerrant Word?
God and the Messiah already know the answer to that one, and have responded accordingly.
Anyone else may conclude whatever he or she wants.
But we truly should be straightforward with other people, especially in spiritual matters. It’s important that one person knows where another is coming from.
It isn’t right, for example, for people (and churches) who don’t believe in the Bible, or are even atheists, to misrepresent themselves as Christians, allowing people to assume they believe in God and the Bible when they don’t. Some even become pastors.
Our relationship with and our responsibility to God is interwoven with our relationships and responsibilities to other people. Our responsibility to be as clear and honest as possible about our beliefs is part of our responsibility to Him, not just to others.
Americans (the real definition, from above) are a good-hearted, whole-hearted, and good-natured, merciful people.
Anyone elso doesn’t meet the qualifications.
Bill and Ted (IOW, Hollywood, the last place anyone would expect) proclaimed the good news of the Kingdom from outside of the religious spheres when they said, “Be excellent to each other.”
There’s even a new movie due out next summer. All in the timing.
People will be shocked at how simple this all is. The ideal man is the last guy any of the experts expect. They are too busy beating everyone down and scrutinizing for any fault.
Egads. Time for all that to end. Trash day is almost here.
In the real world the big trash day is the day after Christmas!
