^^^ Sometimes it is difficult getting an understanding of the things Jesus really meant. Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into Heaven. Which should a person want? Earthly riches that last for a hundred years (maybe)? Or Heavenly riches that last forever? However, Jesus also said to His disciples when they asked what they were going to get, that everybody who left their earthly 'riches' to follow Him, would receive a hundred times the former earthly things they had in this life, along with persecutions, and in the end eternal life. What happened to the disciples who left everything for Jesus? At the Pentecost, they received the Spirit of God in a powerful way. Then, after the Pentecost they received all kinds of wealth from the thousands of people who converted to Christianity in Jerusalem. Read "The Acts of the Apostles" in the Bible to see this. We aren't told exactly, but it seems that the Twelve disciples forgot about serving a little. They appointed 'the seven' to oversee the distribution of food and clothing among the members of the first church in Jerusalem. If you read between the lines in Acts, it seems that the seven (even though Stephen was stoned) received at least as much power from God (for a time) as the disciples had. Why? Jesus showed the disciples the way of the servant when He washed the disciples' feet. And servants were what the seven became. Think about it.  |

My understanding is that Biden isn't the President. After a new President takes his oath of office - swears on the Bible - he has thirty days to sign an affidavit of the oath, that he is accepting the office in government. All government people are required to do this, both swear on the Bible, and sign the affidavit within 30 days. Nobody has been able to find Biden's affidavit. They haven't been able to find the affidavits of many of the high-up officials in Biden's regime... including the AG, and Biden's cabinet. FOIAs (Freedom of Information Act) requests for these affidavits have not produced them. They don't seem to exist. The point is, if they don't exist, Biden's Oath of Office and Presidency expired 30 days after he took the oath in public. Same with the others, if they even took the oath... if they didn't sign an affidavit of the oath. The big point is this. Government people who take orders from Biden and the AG (and others), are acting in their private capacity without knowing it. This includes the armed forces. These people should be sued, right along with Biden. Money should be brought back from Ukraine, along with the military equipment sent. It was sent illegally. Can anybody provide copies of certified/verified affidavits of Oath of Office for these people? So assuming what you are seeing is true and he is not legally the president because he never signed on that document then, who is in charge or the country or who should be the legitimate president of USA. I assume that the most logical step to take after uncovering such irregularity would be to hold new elections and then elect a new president. Also, I doubt that it would be possible to recover much of the money from Ukraine, most of it I think has been bought on spendable stuff, like ammo and tanks, I doubt defense companies and factories of military equipment would not be willing to give money back for they have worked for, there are contracts and deals which have been already signed. Recovering money from Ukraine might be a problem. But Trump will make it all better for us when he gets back in office. The country is not what you think. If the Federal government shut down permanently right this minute, the State governments would easily fill the gap. In fact, it is the Federal government that is holding them back. Much that the Federal does is counter productive, so things would get better just from the shutdown. In fact, the biggest problem would be integrating all those Federal workers back into society... which could be done easier if they spread out into the States rather than staying in D.C. If the State governments couldn't fill the gap, the counties would take over. In some counties, it might take the people a 'moment' to start moving, but when the people realize that they can govern themselves, they suddenly become very practical and capable on their own issues right at home... I mean their real home... not regarding all kinds of money deals across borders. With no Federal, the States would each make their own money, and make agreements with other States for cross-border acceptance of their money. The Federal Reserve Bank would shut down, and the Fed owners wouldn't get any more loan promissory note money. This would stop the Ukraine war, and all kinds of interference that the wealthy elite of the world make among the nations of the world........ Note that all money is based on something that is conjured into being. All world money among the major nations is simply "printed" into being. Banking and other money laws are simply the controls to stop overenthusiastic bankers and government money people from overdoing it, and destroying the system thereby. All the wars and police actions in the world are attempts by the banking elite to keep the fake fiat money system growing, and to destroy any money system that wants to work on 'stuff' that has literal REAL value rather than simple 'said-paper-value'. |

“WE CAN’T HAVE SOMEONE IN THE OVAL OFFICE WHO DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORD ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ OR ‘CLASSIFIED.’”
- Donald J. Trump
Exactly what Trump was attempting to do. Then Biden used some of his stolen authority to steal docs that had been 'confidential' and 'classified' documents... docs that Trump was trying to maintain safely away from Biden who doesn't understand the meaning of 'confidential' or classified'. We all can see by Biden's corrupt activity in office, that even if Trump did some kind of hand-slap wrong, that Biden is a thousand times worse in his directing of the country, and sharing 'confidential' and 'classified' documents with enemies and potential enemies... exactly the thing that Trump was trying to protect us from. Thanks for the Trump advertising, though. |

God is an alien. He built a 'computer' the heavens and the earth. He programmed the computer with all kinds of programming, including life. As the Creator, He exists within his computer and programs, and without. It's a bit like a person who builds a house. The house is not him, and the things of the house are not him. Yet he exists both within the house at times, and outside of it at other times. The difference with God is that He actually became part of the house when He became Jesus... Jesus Who is both part of the House as man, and part of God Who is outside the house. The 40-day fast that Jesus did, was something that was a righteousness and a perfection that fit a being Who was both God and man. Remember, God made the universe, and made it to act perfectly. So, as the Perfecter of the universe (through His life, death and resurrection), Jesus had to act and live perfectly. Remember, it was the Holy Spirit, who settled on Jesus in the form of a Dove at Jesus's baptism, Who drove Jesus into the wilderness to fast for 40 days. My real point in this thread is to figure out the reasons why Jesus fasted, that is, how His fasting was part of perfection... why He had to fast to be part of perfection. Then, once we figure it out, perhaps we can become more godly by acting out Jesus perfection, knowing what we are doing and why, rather than simply imitating some of His activity. |

marriage is everybody problems!Marriage is a problem because people are getting divorced. "Marriage" means such a joining between people that they STAY married, forever, if they live that long. Divorce is a problem for the unmarried and for those who remain married, because it messes society up.

Bradley may be replaced, and probably even quickly, but the Leopards .. they will also be replaced, but instead of 2A6 it will be the ancient 1A5, after they are restored to a sane state. So, Ukraine should not rely too much on Western tanks, especially since Kiev has already become disillusioned with them, they say the old Soviet ones are better, easier to operate and live longer on the battlefield.
Riiiiiight. So how come Putin's glorious armed forces using the best-in-the-world soviet military equipment couldn't defeat Ukrainian forces that had very little Western equipment at the beginning, and still can't defeat Ukrainians with more Western equipment (albeit inferior if we were to believe your story). Something not adding up. In the beginning, it wasn't Russia's goal to defeat. They were simply attempting to bring freedom to Russians and Ukrainians in the Donbas area and other nearby areas. Russia wasn't against the Ukrainian people freely making up their own mind. What they were against was the Ukrainian government using military means to destroy the freedom of the people, many of whom were Russians. Now that the US has made a big deal about conquering Russia through Ukraine, things have changed. But one of the major things that has not changed is that Russia still doesn't want to do more than bring peace by taking out the evil Ukrainian government and military. The point is, if both militaries killed each other off 1 person to 1 person, the Ukraine military would be long gone, and the land would be free to Russian takeover. As it is, in general, it's 6 or 7 Ukrainian soldiers (or whomever else they are getting from Nato) that are dying for every 1 Russian soldier. |

^^^ Russia is not alone. Nothing has changed except the path that is being taken toward goals. This is for all the major countries. By cutting themselves off from Russia through the sanctions, the US and Nato are all alone... except that now it takes other countries to be middlemen between Russia and the US/Nato. The products and services still flow. The benefit to Russia is that before, Russia was moving into a direct trading market with the US and Nato countries. Since Russia's options have changed with the sanctions, they are simply developing all kinds of modes of operation that they had no need for in the past - the past 30 years since freedom became popular in the Russian government. |

^^^ America is about individual sovereignty. Each man or woman or family is sovereign... along with and beside every other man/woman/family. Each sovereign voluntarily supports ideals that they individually hold. They voluntarily support these ideals with other people who hold to the same or similar ideals. The simple words in the Pledge, cause a person who recites the Pledge to convict himself/herself of their sovereignty... handing their sovereignty over to a government. What is a government? It is a group of people who have pledged themselves to ideals in some words listed in the government. The word 'State' really means 'state of mind'. It is written down in constitutions, laws and other documents, because people forget the words of their ideals most of the time. Government is simply words that maintain a state of mind. Wen you take a sovereign man/woman, and get him to pledge allegiance to something he has little knowledge about, even if he isn't serious about obeying all the stupidity in the government words, his honesty bends him in that direction, thereby eroding his sovereignty. If the Pledge started out by saying something like, "I pledge allegiance to my sovereignty, along with the sovereignty of every other individual in this land..." then it might be headed in the right direction. |

This is direct evidence against Ukraine. Maybe you, in contrast, have direct evidence against Russia, in addition to unfounded accusations? No, you don't have them, and no one has them, otherwise they would have been circulated by all Western media. There is no evidence that Russia did it and there is no motive for Russia to do it. The best argument against Russia is that if there had been no invasion at all, then the dam would have been intact. This is a ridiculous argument.
A himars hit that occurred more than 6 months ago is not a direct evidence against Ukraine. You don't seem to know what a direct evidence is, so I'll help you with that. When someone gets murdered and that person was attacked some time before, this is not direct evidence against that former attacker. The fact that he tried to do it a year before doesn't mean he did it again and succeeded. A direct evidence would be if you had a murder weapon with his fingerprints or you'd found victims blood on his clothes. That hit in 2022, or any other existing plans for it did not blow up the dam. Planted explosive devices did. Ukraine doesn't have a single missile capable of such destruction. It would require multiple hits to level the dam and there's evidence for a single explosion. Even one test hit and a frank admission of it is much more than zero.
It used to be direct evidence and now it's more than zero. Your confidence seems to be decreasing with time. Again, a test hit 6 months ago is not an evidence against Ukraine. Thanks for showing us how 9/11 was an inside demolition job. |

One question. Is the Biden Administration attempting to restore some kind of a pact like the one Trump withdrew from? If he isn't, even he thinks it is useless. If he is, he probably is making a new deal to destroy America faster than he is doing already through the Ukraine war.. |

If you are in the military, you should pledge to the flag. Often the flag leads the direction into battle. But for kids and civilians to pledge allegiance to a flag... what a bunch of silliness! And one nation? The States are 50. They are essentially 50 nations. The part the Federal has is to protect them, keep them separate, and let them do business that enhances the people rather than hurting them... but to do it by staying out of their business. Why Patriots Shouldn't Pledge Allegiance
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/why-patriots-shouldnt-pledge-allegianceThough conservatives will be most aghast at this undertaking, the open-minded ones will soon discover they should be among the pledge's greatest critics. Before I open fire, a brief explanation for international readers: The Pledge of Allegiance is recited by children across America at the start of start of each school day. It's also incorporated into many meetings held by federal, state and local governments and private groups as well. Standing and facing the flag with hand over heart, one recites: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." A Government Loyalty Oath Written by a Socialist Many who consider the pledge a cornerstone of conservative values will be surprised to learn it was written by a Christian Socialist named Francis Bellamy, who was run out of his pulpit at a Boston church for preaching against capitalism, and who called Jesus Christ a socialist. ... I haven’t always felt this way. Conditioned by 13 years of public school, I continued sincerely reciting the pledge at various functions far into my adult life. Following my U.S. Army service, I’d even stand at attention with heels locked -- Bellamy would’ve been proud. It was only after learning the true meaning of liberty and the animating spirit of our system of government that my mind was changed. If your experience is like mine, once you begin recognizing the pledge as the authoritarian loyalty oath that it is, you’ll soon develop disdain for its nearly every phrase. ...

^^^ Romans 13 - https://biblehub.com/romans/13.htm - shows that God is the Guy Who sets governments in place... including the courts. But, God works in ways that we don't always understand. Look at the whole Old Testament following Israel's entry into the land of Canaan. When the people of Israel started to forget God, he allowed foreign governments to take them over. A good example is the Babylon captivity of Israel, the foreign ruler being Nebuchadnezzar. God even gave Egypt over to Nebuchadnezzar as payment for his campaigns against Israel, for which he receive little pay for conquering them (Israel) on God's behalf. Today, many American people are turning against God in many blatantly evil ways. The Russian people have turned against God somewhat. So have the Ukrainians. This doesn't mean that all the people have turned. But it seems that Zelensky is against God, Biden doesn't say much, and Putin is for God (if not in a dramatic way). Is God going to let Russia beat us in that war? Are we going to fall to BRICS because We the People don't have enough guts to stand up against individuals running our government system in a corrupt way? |

^^^ If Hillary had gotten in, in 2016, we would be way further into WW3 by now. I always said that Trump was bad because he would only slow the inevitable and it would be way worse afterward. And that he did... slow hostilities down. Biden is making up for Trump's slowness. Do you think Trump 2024 can slow the things down on time to avert the final world war? provided Putin doesn't loose nukes before then? |

It has never been clear to my how or why Jesus, who is God, prays to God. I'm referring to the concept of the Trinity, which was formulated by the Church after the Bible was written. In this story, the Trinity must be a metaphor, but it is not.
Jesus did it in the way people do it, pray. Jesus was baptized. Why? Because He was man as well as God. As man He needed the things of man. As God, He overcame. But, he didn't split up to do and need the things of man, or to overcome as God. He was still One Jesus. |

The us money people understand that through Trump's operation, they were going to slide into oblivion sooner or later anyway. Since it will happen, why not make the most of it, and drive the world to war? It seems that that's what they are doing, but so far, Putin is not letting them trick him. Are the Biden warmongers strong enough to drive the world to war? Will the collapse of the US money system convince people to join the military and the arms manufacturing companies? Will economic collapse in Nato countries drive their people to fight with Ukraine? So far the people who are in the Biden group have been right about not seeming to be able to push Putin to nukes. If Medvedev were running Russia, we might have been in nuclear WW3 months ago, or even years ago. |

And if anyone says that he will die before he goes to court or is imprisoned, that will be worse for him. Then God will take his punishment in hand, rather than having the courts do it. And God is way more powerful than the courts.
So God won't punish him if he goes to prison? I'm glad you are confident in the doj when it comes to prosecuting corrupt politicians. Do you really think that God doesn't punish through the courts that He set up? |

Jesus fasted for the beginning of his Ministry to overcome Temptation remember this verse Mark 14:38 NIV
[38] Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Notice when Satan came to Jesus to tempt Him in the wilderness. It was after Jesus had fasted for 40 days. Satan probably thought that Jesus would be weakest at that time. But, there is a trick in fasting that Satan and many people miss. Often when a person prays, it is prayer out of need or desire. But a person who prays with great need, is going to be more earnest in his prayer. What greater need is there than for food when you are starving? A person who has fasted as long as 6 weeks (almost) has a natural need that pushes itself into whatever prayer he prays. The NEED for nutrition being shouted out from all the cells of the body, translates itself into the prayer, making the prayer to have or reflect NEED. The prayer becomes more earnest, naturally. Satan couldn't see the way the Father answered Jesus's prayers internally in Jesus. But it was in part the earnestness of Jesus's prayers that strengthened Him... strength from the Father. So, it might even have been that God wouldn't let Jesus be tempted until Jesus had fasted and been strengthened through His earnest prayer... prayer having been made more earnest by NEED, for food. |

Russia does. China does. They never had it so good now that they are making agreements with other countries that they never did before. The US and Nato keep pushing themselves deeper and deeper towards poverty. New Energy Market Order: Russia, China, Iran sign over a dozen new trade agreements – mostly concerning energy
https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-06-09-russia-china-iran-energy-trade-agreements.htmlChina, Iran and Russia signed over a dozen agreements with each other in the first week of June alone, mostly concerning energy, showing how the three nations are creating what has been billed as the “New Energy Market Order.” Moscow signed at least 10 new cooperation agreements with Iran for the benefit of both of their oil sectors by May 18. China similarly signed new cooperation agreements with Iran and is also significantly expanding its influence in the Middle East to secure sufficient hydrocarbon supplies to fuel its own economic growth. (Related: Iran’s trade with BRICS nations SURGES 14% as it eyes joining bloc and divesting from the dollar.) On May 18, Iranian Deputy Minister for Oil Ahmad Asadzadeh bragged that 100 Iranian and 80 Russian corporations took part in the signing of two agreements and eight memorandums of understanding on a wide range of fields, including projects to increase oil production, smart technology transfers and the completion of a transport network that will link Moscow to the Gulf of Persia and India while avoiding Western sea lanes and American sanctions. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak led the Russian delegation to Tehran to discuss boosting bilateral trade and said the two countries are also in talks to discuss the signing of future agreements, including one that may establish an electronic gas trading platform in southern Iran with the help of Russian investments. China expands influence in Middle EastChina’s recent new agreements with Iran are part of its overarching “One Belt, One Road” economic growth strategy. According to an Iranian source that spoke to Simon Watkins of OilPrice.com, the agreements signed simply “nail down some of the remaining details on financial, investments and energy cooperation” contained within their 25-year cooperation agreement, known as the “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the People’s Republic of China.” ...
