1 Timothy 1:3-7

No Other Doctrine

3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

4 nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,

6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk,

7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.

Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

This has been on my mind lately, I've been seeing some name calling/labeling and I believe that is a tactic used by the Deceiver. This has always been a fight between Good and Evil, anything else is just muddying waters.

Revelation 3:15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.

Good and Evil/righteous and unrighteous have always God vs Lucifer, from the first sin. Lucifer has to continue muddying waters to continue deceiving. That's why we should be hot or cold. Anything in-between is fake. Either being pretending to be good while doing evil or pretending to be evil while doing good. I believe one of Lucifer's tactics is to change his name, the name of Evil through Deceit. So, call it as it was from the beginning God vs Lucifer. Anything else is muddying waters. This is just my opinion and some thoughts I've had on it.

Side note, I also believe this is why the plan is to do things righteously, we cant pretend to be evil while doing good.

I was thinking today... In dog fighting, if they can't get the dogs to fight, they will put them in cages and poke them with a stick until they are pissed off. I wonder if the dogs ever realize it's the same guy holding the stick ??

I'm no autust by any means and probably wouldn't have thought much into it before all of the stock market stuff, but it just seemed odd to me that both lottos were very high. One was over 700 million and the other over 1 billion and I really didn't hear much about it. Usually I hear everyone making a big deal about it being that high. I did a search and found out that last year they changed the law that they no longer have to tell who won, to protect the winner. I just thought that might be an easy way for them to steal more money, but I have no proof. It was just a thought I had.
