  1. Jesus cared for the poor, the sick, the elderly, the children, the outsider.... That is exactly what today's GOP and its leader do NOT do. We do those things in the church community. The GOP does, I believe, think people should work for their survival. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  2. If you truly knew what goes on inside our church family you would want to be there. However, you are on the outside looking at the physical aspects only. That old devil has his spirits influencing and convincing you that we are not good. We invite you to come in with us but you choose not to join.

  3. I know you actually believe you are correct. I believe that Jesus taught salvation not socialism. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  4. I think he already answered that: "I am not concerned with his moral defects. . . . NBD." Of course, he's also said he would never vote for someone who promotes abortion. (Looking back, he really meant "who is a democrat." If it's a republican - no big deal. No one's perfect.) Democrat/Republican same/same. It is the fight against progressive liberalism/socialism/communism that is my focus. My job and the job of my church family is to interfere with and slow progressive liberalism as much as possible within the bounds of law. I look at the spirit behind the movement. I look at the spirit behind the posts here on SC. It is the spirit of evil and it sometimes manifests with the appearance of light and good. The Bible guides us the try the spirits, 1 John 4. That is we have to look at the end of the movement not just the immediate factors. The main fear that I hold is that all of America will follow California's example. We have Detroit and Flint Michigan as examples of the end result. California is imploding on itself. We have folks that have migrated here and still have family there. They report it is terrible, crime and filth are spreading. Hilliary would have added fuel to that speeding train. With Donald Trump we have the hope of turning the track and slowing the process of the implosion at the end. America is still in for some very rough times. That is why the only true hope is in Christ for personal victory. No government, federal or state, is going to save you. We are paying the price for national sin. Individuals must pay the price individually. Forgiveness is available for you. We can only pray for our country and its leadership. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  7. I am not concerned with his moral defects. I don't know for certain if we have ever had a totally moral POTUS. FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford (Maybe), Carter (Maybe), Reagan, HWBush, Clinton, GWBush, Obama and President Trump are questionable. Those are the ones in my lifetime.

  8. Which would be legitimate if they were purely political partisan attacks. But concealing payoffs to porn stars and other high crimes. Should be paid for by trump personally. Not by tax-deductible political donations. The alleged payoff came from President Trump's attorney and the incident allegedly took place in 2006. President Trump was simply a business tycoon at that time. I know that fake news has a different account. NBD ETA: Are you concerned about the $15M Congressional Hush Fund? When you wrote this, did you actually believe it was 2006? Yes, it is the only time frame I've heard. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  9. Of course I did. I also considered him a socialist/communist, progressive liberal, Muslim sympathizer. He too is ancient history, I hope. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  10. And, he is a winner. He IS the POTUS. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

  13. I don't think any of us are taken back by the amount of money it costs to fight the progressive liberal left or simply to maintain a position of wealth.

  14. Do you mean how he similarly used the IRS and later more specifically Loretta Lynch? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  15. I was told that and held to that order in two social service programs where I was employed as a middle manager in Tampa FL. Eventually, I resigned from both of those positions. It is expected in the business world. And, don't think for a minute that social services are not a business. You either play the game or you leave.

  17. Since it's so common, why don't you tell us how the resignations, dismissals and indictments of Trump's staff compare with those of, say, Obama's or either of the Bushes' staffs. A comparison cannot be made, you know apples and oranges. Just wait, at the end of President Trump's first term the economy will be strong and the middle class will be living well.

  18. This is the same voting population who haven't made a peep about Trump defunding the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program who's main beneficiaries are senior citizens on fixed incomes. I am one of those and I never heard of it. But, I don't play the system much, just VA once a year. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  23. I accept your faith as genuine. It does not require proof. I accept that you had an experience that changed you. I do not accept your experience as proof of anything beyond that. It was your experience, it was a real experience for you. Spirituality has always been real in humans for as long as we have been human. It can't be defined. It is like psychiatry. It can be studied but not fully understood because it resides within our brains and our brains are not fully understood. More like an art than a science. But I absolutely believe that the feelings of spirituality you describe within yourself are real feelings. ***We are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body. This I do not believe. At least not in the sense that you do. What I believe is that what we feel as a soul is really an artifact of how our brains work. In other words, we can feel spirituality as if it is a super natural force, but in reality it is a very physical thing that is part of our body. I do not feel a need to live in eternity. I have no answer at all for this question. I do not believe that you, or anyone else will live on in an afterlife. But I do believe it is possible for you to die securely believing that you will. And if in your time of dying that comforts you and yours I can find no fault in that. OK! So far in my study, I equate human spirit as the elan vital.

  24. Do you accept my proof of faith? Some folks only have one overwhelming experience of God but that is enough to last a lifetime. Some have had several spiritual experiences. The key is to understand that a spiritual component of life exists and it can be studied. I believe most refuse to look at the spirit because it is intangible, yet it is real. We are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body. I focus my life more on my spirit and my relationship to God through the Christ than I do my body. My goal is to be so in tune with the Holy Spirit that when my body dies I don't even notice. Is that possible? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  25. Is your faith strong enough to allow you to accept that Genesis is not literal truth? Many people can keep their Christian faith without holding on to this like a rock in the sea of disorder. Those are the people I see as having strong faith. After listening to Dr Kent Hovind's lectures I see no reason to consider that possibility. https://www.google.com/search?q=kent+hovind+debate&rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS789US789&oq=kent+hovind&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.16159j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
