Not treated as a direct command from God from a contextual standpoint, but on Paul's personal judgment.

I'm not sure you're getting the point of what I'm saying.

Sounds like: No More Mr. Nice Guy! https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxrC9gcmRtQdujq-IDtzL2k3LVY7diKBwq?si=jKVVJlpkyj2Yc-R3

Trump would have to declare martial law and suspend Habeaus Corpus but he would have to find a way to justify it in the eyes of the public.

To put action to her words and I wouldn't mind letting her know how we feel about the apparent lack of action. The least that we could expect is some sign or evidence that the cases of concern have not been forgotten or neglected.

You definitely have provided some insight on how Catholics justify the Papacy and the doctrines thereof, including attempting to make scripture appear to support traditions that it contextually doesn't.

Francis did, but the Papal office itself did not.

But he's not.

I would like to post to your page as you have suggested to me earlier, but I do not know how to do that. Visited your page and could not find any options that would enable me to do that.

Your link doesn't seem to be working.

Things are done differently in Florida and other like-minded states and communities and for a darn good reason.

Gee, I wonder why that is.

So say those who are vastly ignorant of our history.

After reading the L.A. Times article, the claim that Israel trained Colombian cartel militia members appears to be ambiguous for a number of reasons.

1. The article mentions that the militias were not owned or controlled by the cartels at first but funded and established by farmers and ranchers for the purpose of fighting against Communist rebels before they were taken over by the Cartels.

2. Colonel Yair Klein, who was allegedly involved with the training of the cartel militias claimed that the Colombian government knew of his activities and that he was only training farmers and ranchers to fend off Communists.

In order for his story to check out, he would have had to have been training these militias before the cartels took over although it is possible, he could have been involved in training them after the cartel takeover, but because the article does not give us a timeline of events, we cannot say for certain.

3. In all fairness, if Israel is to be implicated in the training of cartel militias as the L.A. Times suggests, then Great Britain must also be implicated as well as the article also mentions that Israelis were not the only ones involved in the alleged training of the cartel militias. Brits were involved as well.

The cited AP item does not give us much information as to who the Israelis were who were killed in a drug deal or money laundering scheme gone bad and therefore, we cannot say that they were government agents. Every nation has its underground criminal elements and we cannot expect Israel to be any different.

In his X post, Ryan Matta claims that the Mossad might have been acting as a U.S. proxy in Latin America against Communists which would mean two things:

1. If the Mossad was involved in funding drug cartels as a counter against Communists, they did so with US support and approval.

2. If Israel was acting as a US proxy, that would completely destroy, or a least call into question, the claim that Israel has been controlling US action and policy as proxies are the ones being controlled and not the ones doing the controlling.

Matta also explains in his post that just because Mexican drug cartels may be in possession of Israeli spyware, that doesn't mean they bought the spyware directly from Israel but may have instead received it from corrupt Mexican officials. If you think the Israeli government is corrupt, the corruption within the Mexican government is probably even worse.

Future generations? How about the PAST generations?

May he make use of it.

I didn't even know that they were at war or why.

And PETA remains silent.

Boy they got some nerve, don't they?

When pigs fly: Wish it would happen, but we are not that fortunate.

A contributing factor I do agree. We can only hope the girl will turn out to be an outstanding adult.

If children are inherently good, then adults should also be inherently good as well but that is not the case and for those of us who understand the nature of man, we all know that. The question that must be asked is that if children are inherently good, then how is it that they cease to be inherently good when they become adults? What changes them into becoming inherently evil when they cease to be children?

There can only be two conclusions to this in that either children, as they become older are corrupted from without, or they are inherently corrupt from birth; that inward corruption not being made immediately apparent until they reach a certain age and if they are inherently corrupt from birth, then this would easily explain the inherent corruption of adults and the only way such corruption can be dealt with is a transformation of the corrupted nature from within. But if men are made corrupt only by those things that are without, then all that would be required is the removal of those corrupting influences, but yet even if we remove from society what we might perceive to be corrupting influences, corruption, though minimized, is still not entirely eliminated which would mean something more must be done which requires addressing the inward condition of the man.

The gun control, or should I say the gun-banning advocates demand and insist that we get as many guns off of the streets and out of our homes as we can as they claim it would reduce violence, but when we read the fourth chapter of the book of Genesis, Cain did not need a firearm to kill his brother Abel. He very well could have killed Abel with a rock or even with his bare hands and what drove him to kill his brother was an intense hatred for him because God looked upon Abel's offering but not upon Cain's and the reason why God looked more favorably upon the offering of Abel is because it was of the nature that God had required, but Cain's offering was not looked upon with favor because it was not the offering that God had commanded of him, and though our Creator attempts to persuade Cain to do that which is right in His sight, Cain gives into his hatred and anger towards his brother and kills him but it is not the means by which he killed Abel that is blamed nor any outward influences that are held to account, but Cain himself is held accountable for his own actions and for the murder which was premeditated in his mind.

In the case of Cain as it is with all people, there was an internal matter within him that had to be dealt with and we all contend and struggle with the same inherent corruption that existed within Cain; it is that there are those of us who give into it more than others do.

What does this then have to do with the nature of children? If anyone has ever taken time to observe the actions of children, we know that it is in the capacity of children, just as it is in adults, to do both good and evil. We see children perform acts of love as well as hate. We see them capable of acting generously and even selflessly as well as selfishly. We see them build each other up and tear each other down, but the difference between adults and children is that children, at least for a time, remain in a state of innocence; never really understanding good and evil as adults do but their understanding of good and evil and knowing right from wrong develops as they become older and at some point, they do reach that age of accountability and when that is, no one can really say; it differs from person to person. Have you ever noticed how no one, not even children need to be taught how to be evil? Evil seems to come more naturally to man than that which is good. But from day one, if we want children to grow up to be upright contributing members of society virtues such as kindness, honesty, integrity, proper behavior, mercy, compassion, empathy, and love have to be taught to them; instilled in them and even then, they will not always choose to do what is right, but will still sometimes do things that they shouldn't.

Are children innocent in comparison to adults? I will not doubt that, but do I believe them to be inherently good? No, because even the goodness of children can fall short of moral perfection. Think back to when you were a child. Did you always do what was right? Were there not times that you gave into selfish tendencies and may have even told a lie or two on occasion? Were there not times when you rebelled against your parents when it would have been better to have obeyed them?

There are a number of things that I believe pacify the actions of children by which the actions of adults are not as pacified and that is 1: Their innocence. 2. Their dependency upon the protection and care they receive from adults. 3. They understand that there are consequences to bad behavior that they would rather not risk, but when they become adults, or even adolescent, it is then that they find and discover within themselves, or at least what they perceive to be, abilities and strength to challenge and circumvent any and all set boundaries that they do not believe serves their interests and would, for better or for worse, do whatever it is that they will for better or worse and irrespective of the consequences.

The little girl in the video that you shared is currently in a state of innocence thus making her appear to be good, and she may very well presently seek to be good in the sense of being well behaved, but as to what sort of adult she will turn out to be is another matter which will not be known until 10 or 20 years later into her life.

As long as the government possesses drones, then I am against banning drones. The only way to fight drones is with other drones.

They intended the same thing for America as well but the only one who is trying to stop that now is Donald Trump but in Europe, if things are ever going to change for the better, the good people are going to have to start taking matters into their own hands and not concern themselves with the consequences. As far as I am concerned watching women getting raped and murdered unchecked and unchallenged is worse than going to war against migrant invaders and their civic enablers.

I don't live there but I assume the skies are clear and if you would demonstrate that Irish fighting spirit towards the Muslims who are in your country and their enablers, you might not have any at all to worry about and you would be discouraging any more Islamic invaders from coming there but if you give them an inch, they will demand a mile.
