No worries! I wish I was sleepy! Lol
Words can sometimes get in the way of what I’m trying to say. I’ll try to condense out of consideration for your time.
-Hate the sin but love the sinner. -Win the battle but lose the war. -Interpretation of scripture is not scripture. -Spotlight on a part can shadow the whole. -Faith cannot be forced.
Whew! Nutshells are tough! I hope I made sense. I appreciate this dialogue.
I appreciate your responses as not all are able to differentiate between “preaching” and respectful dialogue. I am quite familiar with the scriptures but even my history does not predicate full understanding, which to me is a wonderful thing. We see through a glass darkly which means so much can never be understood until we are face to face because God is so much larger than ourselves. What DO I know? There is no good in me but God. I am truly a sinner saved only by the grace of God. It is not me but God. If man looketh on the outward appearance but God looketh on the heart and all sin is disgusting to God, then the sin of pride is just as abhorrent as the sin of theft. If children of God are looking around at each other to qualify what we can ‘see’ and determining what we should be judging...I don’t know about you but as for me? My journey to deal with what is on the inside is going to take me an entire lifetime and even then I will not have even scratched the surface. (Pun intended. Lol) The danger with judging others is (to name only a few) a: it makes the one doing the judging feel like they are above the judgee (did I just make that word up? Ha!) and b: our human nature makes it difficult to separate the action from the individual. As for me, I have found that it is much more persuasive to convey the peace and God’s love in my own life by concurrently qualifying the impact of negative actions with the desirable effect of positive actions.
Edit: I’m referring to personal judgement of others and not the societal consequences of actions perpetuated on another.
You seem like a very caring person and that’s wonderful but who you are (or who I am) has no bearing on the intent or context of scripture.
I am very much so.
You should be really careful about taking verses out of context and/or interpreting them to fit your own preconceived narrative. That is exactly what MSM does. Did you see the video at the impeachment where they would take excerpts from Trump’s speech?
Matthew 7:1-5 1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
I wonder if the personal “key” will become a chip inserted into the individual for our “protection”...and then it will also contains our medical history, etc. Oh, and don’t worry, it also contains a tracker in case someone kidnaps you! Oh, and we should just insert these automatically into every child at birth... yeah, not a dystopian nightmare a’tall.
I’m a newbie too but if it does work that way, not only kudos to you for catching it but ...Q is just eerily accurate at foreshadowing events. Wow!
I heard the same but it seems Gretchen Whitmer’s mother and grandmother passed away before the plandemic. However, there was Rachel Levine who removed her grandmother just prior to the kung flu.
So I thought I read somewhere (a long time ago) that Ba’al, the god that demanded child sacrifice, was based on Nimrod, who married his mother. Ancient depictions of Nimrod as an infant sitting in his mother’s lap look identical to the infant Jesus and the Virgin Mary. If you’ve noticed the circles around their heads, it was originally meant to symbolize the sun, as they worshipped the sun. Seems pretty ‘coincidental’ to me.
Co-founded with his brother, Harry.
They used to have his last name on the sign before they switched it to H.E.B. ?
Why are there RINO’s but not DINO’s? Lol
My sister has a children’s home in Guadalajara and she’s good friends with a missionary in Myanmar. The missionary in Myanmar said the government they removed was corrupt and most were in favor. (Sorry, that’s not first hand but it’s only twice removed.)
ACQUITTED!!!!
That is really odd.
The tweet they used said “calvary”...and they just tried to twist that again. Lol What a circus.
Aw! Better be careful or my Trump punisher hat isn’t going to fit anymore! :) Thanks, fren!
Wow! They used my observation of calvary vs cavalry! I hadn’t heard anyone make that comparison before I did a few days ago when I saw that tweet used by the house managers so I thought that was pretty damn cool!
Yep! Oddly enough, there is a huge discrepancy between the ratio of post and moderator downvotes. Hm.
I have such respect for you. It’s one thing to talk but quite another to have everyone against you and your adrenaline is pumping yet you hold the line with your head held high. Makes me think of that guy standing in front of tanks with his grocery bags in his hands. There comes a point where you just say NO. :)
Kek! I don’t give a flying fart about Dicktater Uhrag’s feefees.
I don’t wear a mask. I just walk in and own it. Babies are mesmerized by me. They will twist and turn to keep me in sight and when I smile, their faces just light up like Christmas. It’s so sad because they can’t see stranger’s faces anymore.
(Btw, I homeschooled my kids too! Didn’t vaccinate either. Happy, healthy, smart kids in college now. Future doctor and computer programmer! Two of my favorite people on the planet.)
I would add that ERCOT charging Texans an average of $1,300 for kWhs that would ordinarily cost $27.12 during a CRISIS where there’s no water, electricity, over 20 deaths... for an emergency THEY caused! If that’s not going to red-pill millions of people, I don’t know what could be more effective!
