  1. Bare in mind, mores, folkways, customs, and traditions are all elements of cultural relativity. Salvation is the exercise of personal will to seek after God, through Jesus the Christ. The soul is a person's mind, emotions, and will. We are comprised of a body, a soul, and a spirit. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  2. According to the Q analyzers and commentators, everything is moving according to the plan. Bare in mind, President Trump has his military intelligence, strategizers, and tacticians working on this situation.

  3. He instructed his disciples to carry a sword. Luke 22:36 Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. I am too old to use one effectively therefore, I prefer a 9mm or 40S&W. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  4. All of them should be. Here in the mountains address discrepancies are common. In addition, many voters have the same name, with or without suffixes. We have two stops prior to voting. The first verifies the picture ID with the voter. The second stop called the express poll contains the database for the legally registered voters. The poll worker verifies the birthdate and then programs a voter chip card to be inserted in the actual voting machine. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  5. Got any proof of that? I can't find anything like that in a quick search. Some stuff about lawsuits against GA & Kemp over 'verification' that is really close to voter suppression (that's what the suits are about). But nothing about ineligible voters trying to vote. This is what I was referring to. However, these articles are pre-election day. https://www.wsbtv.com/news/2-investigates/live-at-6-what-happens-if-you-show-up-to-vote-and-youre-on-the-pending-list-/852074986 https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/53k-voter-registrations-on-hold-across-georgia/851445017 The last I heard is that Brian Kemp has moved in and has begun the transition. Stacey Abrams has admitted defeat and now is going to sue the state's election process. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/stacey-abrams-acknowledges-she-cant-defeat-brian-kemp-is-georgia-governor-race Good grief!

  6. And that's the bullshit of religion, that Ted Bundy said he was sorry just before he was executed and that makes it OK. Being sorry does not get you saved. Confessing your sin, surrendering to Christ and asking for His forgiveness is what gets you saved. In God's view, all sin is equal. It is a decision of the heart, not the mind. You have to surrender your will, your ego. It is called by some as dying unto Christ. Religion has very little if anything to do with it. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  7. Dr James Dobson interviewed Ted Bundy in prison. He stated that Bundy confessed his sins, accepted Christ, and was saved prior to his execution. It is not so much what you did but where you are at the end. The big unknown for most is when is the end. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  8. My wife and I are poll managers. All we require is a state-approved photo ID, which covers a huge list for acceptance. Signatures are required but not checked in order to receive the electronic ballot. Our machines stand alone and cannot be hacked. No one can be denied the right to vote. Anyone can vote provisionally, manual ballot, and it will be judged within three days. The basic requirement is to vote at the assigned precinct in the county where you are registered. The main problem we are having is that Stacy Abrams made a large registration push and registered people not eligible. She was caught. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  12. 65 of 67 counties in Florida can hold legal elections. Two counties, that are majority Democrat by the way, can't. because they feel the need to find votes to overturn the electorate of Florida. now I look forward to Bill Vaughn and others here calling me names, such as Neo-Nazi suppoter and others to try and silence me. That's what they do. I'm a former FL resident and I agree. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  13. Following the shootout of the small church in Texas, one of the churches in our area experienced an incident of moderate violence. We discussed and considered the situation and decided to have designated security personnel. Several other churches in our local area have done likewise. What do you do with your guns while snake handling or speaking in tongues? We don't handle snakes. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  14. No it isn't. It's the result of the error made in the 2nd Amendment. And the 2nd was largely the result of fear of slaves revolting. Only a progressive liberal would/could actually believe that especially a non-American. SMH Your are mistaken. Alright, further research tells me that the danger of slave insurrection was only ever a minor point in the evolution of the 2nd. Bless you my son. Go and sin no more.

  17. How the hell are these people trained?? This is the reason I and my partners in security at our church wear a large SECURITY tag when on duty. If something bad is going down and LE shows up they are looking for threats, not allies. Allies must be quickly identified. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  18. Over the years I have given hints to help clarify my posts. You need to develop an empathic understanding of anger, depression, fear, and guilt. Empathy is not synonymous with sympathy. Oh, I understand those things quite well. And perhaps I misstated it. I understand what your positions are. Those are pretty clear to anyone who reads your stuff. Even the positions you refuse to admit. What I don't understand is why you take those positions. Ron has a dogmatic view of Christian values. Limited state involvement of the economy and anit-abortion are core. Together with support of the state when it favors them over other religions. This may help: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/out-the-darkness/201412/dogmatic-and-spiritual-religion Dogmatically religious people are those who think that they’re right and everyone else is wrong. For them, religion isn’t about self-development or experiencing the transcendent, but about adhering to a set of rigid beliefs and following the rules laid down by religious authorities. It’s about defending their beliefs against anyone who questions them, asserting their "truth" over other people’s, and spreading those beliefs to others. For them, the fact that other people have different beliefs is an affront, since it implies the possibility that their own beliefs may not be true. They need to convince other people that they’re wrong to prove to themselves that they’re right. Dogmatic religion stems from a psychological need for group identity and belonging, together with a need for certainty and meaning. There is a strong impulse in human beings to define ourselves, whether it’s as a Christian, a Muslim, a socialist, an American, a Republican, or as a fan of a sports club. This urge is closely connected to the impulse to be part of a group, to feel that you belong, and share the same beliefs and principles as others. And these impulses work together with the need for certainty—the feeling that you "know," that you possess the truth, that you are right and others are wrong. You missed me by a long way with that one. You lost me in the second sentence. I am disappointed. You are usually more accurate. Feel free to steer me right. Nobody here receives more abuse than you. Nobody is more prepared to turn the other cheek without any flush of anger. Nobody is more steadfast in the course and truth of their beliefs. I do not consider myself a religious person because religion requires a rigid path of legalism. As a spiritual traveler transcendence is the goal. My life is fluid and dynamic. Religion is ritualized behavior. I concede that many Christians are religious due to their fear of the unknown. They want stability and reasonable certainty. I am not one of them.

  23. Hehe...you always assume education = intelligence. Some of the dumbest people I've ever met had sheepskins. Take me for example. I have an AA, BA, MA, USPA-I, Tandem Master, and a Pro-Rating.

  24. The only thing we can do to balance the budget is to vote for responsible leadership. Liberal Democrats want to tax and conservative Republicans want to tighten the budget. In my lifetime we continue to tax and spend and the deficit continues to increase. Obviously, that is a no-win situation. Climate control, global warming or whatever is not in our control. It is, therefore, a fantasy problem. To create tax funding to solve it is a power-grabbing waste of time, energy and money. God created a homeostatic world. He will change it and correct it in His time. That is Biblical prophecy and I rely on that. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
