Res ipso loquior
Welcome to FR.
I appreciate your concern for end time theology.
You can always expect a healthy mix of criticism, understanding, and bible challenge on the FR religion forum. Don't take it personally.
Your speculation about the international court has a number of weaknesses as well. In your opinion, what is its most significant weakness?
i just felt if it was narrow why should I immediately go the way the many thinks?
Second, I'll admit: I'm not really into biblical prophesies. I also don't believe in a narrow road. God is a broad horizon, the broad horizon. Walk where He asks you to walk, down the path that He has laid at your feet.
I also believe America must stop protecting Israel....
Ouch
better worded would have been, I opened myself up and learned without preconceived notions also a request for others to do so if possible (figure of speech). I wish I knew Latin...:(
I think someones trying to provoke me....;)
I quoted you. And, yes...your assertion that the United States should stop protecting Israel is provocative. Why do you believe this?

If we are linking this to Rome, Italy, this is not true. In a Socialist country laws are made by the governing party and enforced by the judicial system. The courts do nothing more than the will of the party. If we are linking this to the United States, this is also not true. We have three powers, Executive, Legislative and Judicial. All keeping the others in check. Sometimes it does not seem like that but, over the past 200 years, it has worked better than any other governing system mankind has come up with. If you are linking this with the United Nations, you may have a valid point. Although they are in their own minds the judicial body of the world. With Goofy Annon at the helm they have become a corrupt body of ineffective fools, only doing the bidding of the secretary general and his minions. (see first item about a socialist system) Oh, beware of posting something this deep at the beginning here at FR. The kitties have been fed well lately and might mistake you as the next course of the buffet.
i should have said will eventually be unable to....(i stand corrected)
Thanks for your kind reply.
I do hope we protect Israel as long as possible. Woe to us when we stop.
As you will note, there are a fierce lot hereon who are very, very, very hostile to the whole idea that God still cares a flip about Blood Israel. They are drowning in REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY--that doctrine of demons that teaches that God goes back on His promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and is ONLY interested in 'spiritual Israel"--i.e. Christians. There's no reasoning with most of them. They are also hostile to the whole notion that these are the end times. LOL.
Anyway--welcome, for sure. Just wear flack jacket and full HAZMAT suit in the religion forum. It's the fiercest and most hostile section of FR though the Rel Mod has helped reform it an amazing amount in recent months.
no I was referring to the world judicial system that is made up of 189 countries...15 judges, 1 president, 2 vice presidents etc....http://www.un.org/law/icc/statute/romefra.htm
The kitties will be fine, I just accidentally posted in the wrong spot... for this I apologise, but I cant do anything different now. I'll take what i get for it. Thanks for replying
Guess I just never thought of it that way. Don't tend to use labels so freely or something. Certainly didn't presume such a role!
Yeah, I saw myself as 'foolishly-for-Jesus' sticking my head out--outlandishly--and going where probably angels fear to tread. But what else is new?! Story of my life! I guess I just saw it as business as usual for me--nothing special; nothing unique. So it kind of startled me to see it put that way.
A bit embarrassing, in a way--in that I don't wish for me to stand out--though I know it's impossible otherwise with the way God made me--it still tends to . . . perturb or sadden me often when I do.
But hey, someone's gotta do the true prophecy thing hereon. Who else is foolish enough?! LOL.
smiles....well hey I thought politics might help to liven them up....just kidding....thanks for your help!
And. . . . .
they're OFF [and running.]
[And she fainted. ]
An old joke for Dr Murray Banks fans.
Dear Jocko--please add stormyseas to the ping list for such things. Being away from home for so many weeks, I have no access to my computer or ping lists so have to rely on my backup brothers and sisters!
Thanks J; Thanks Stormy.
LUB
The 'must' is misleading.
Meaning, as I understand the poster--meaning that for all Biblical prophecy to be fulfilled, the USA must end up no longer a protector of Israel.
Not that we philosophically SHOULD stop.
Some folks need NO livening up.
I might even be classed among such.
We can post fiercely on some topics at the mere thought of dropping the hat!
LOL.
I feel the same Quix, I see the sorrow and I cry for them, but I believe my Bible and somewhere something will prevent us from being that protector so God can.
I do think we will ever just stop because we dont want to anymore I believe we just wont be able to.
