  1. Following the logic of Selco in his writings, whatever we imagine SHTF to be, it won't. It will be entirely different from our conjecture. 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.
  2. If half the nation wants abortion, same sex marriage and to disrespect the flag the other half should be allowed have our individual weapons collection. IMO, when SHTF manifests the first half is really going to need the latter half. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  3. Very astutely stated opinion. In America I prefer communities bound together by Christian churches. 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. Abraham was also a great man of faith and God provided a ram for the sacrifice. Jesus was the last required blood sacrifice. All you have to do is accept it and then ask Him to forgive your sin and come into your heart to establish your eternal connecting relationship.

  5. Job 13:14-16New King James Version (NKJV) 14 Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hands? 15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him. 16 He also shall be my salvation, For a hypocrite could not come before Him. Job was a man strong in faith and always trusting in God.

  6. No, you will go to jail. 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.
  7. Do you mean like welfare paid for Democrat votes? 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.
  8. God knew Job's heart and He knew his faith was strong. As such He used Job to provide an example to the world that Satan cannot read your mind, that you can withstand Satan's attacks and that God will restore what Satan has stolen. What you call torture is really just the stuff of life. People experience those types of tragedies daily. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  9. I frequently express what is not what should be. I know the difference. 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. http://time.com/4955704/nfl-league-rulebook-a62-63-national-anthem-rule/ Bolding is mine. Doesn't appear mandatory to me, however I only speak the Queen's English. You are correct. It is policy not rule. 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.
  11. You're not from around here are you? Since "around here" must be a place where people don't understand their own Constitution and veterans don't understand their enlistment oath, that's just as well. "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice." I never said anything denying Constitutional rights. My post was discussing the efficacy of action. So who stole your password and wrote "There is a tradition in America of respecting the flag and the National Anthem. If someone chooses to oppose that tradition they will receive anger for it from veterans and other patriotic Americans."? There is no mention of constitutional rights.

  12. It is the development of the ego which always stands in opposition to God. 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. Believe or suffer eternally? If that's your god's deal, he can stick it up his arse. I don't respond well to extortion. You have been exposed to misinformation. We all are born into sin. Sin means separation from God. Separation means upon death in the physical your spirit/soul will be lost for all eternity. God loves us and does not want us to perish for eternity. He provided a gateway through the death of Jesus the Christ to regain our relationship with Him. When we choose to accept Christ we jump onto the spiritual track to eternal life. Which sin?? All newborns are innocent, that's I've been told. Your god seems to have a weird sense of humor, providing a gateway through the death of Jesus .... I'd love to see the "chosen ones" jumping onto a spiritual track - what do you think: Will your fearless leader be amongst them? Sin is present when the child develops "I." My fearless leader is Jesus the Christ and the Holy Spirit, same/same. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  15. Not sure if anyone found this reference before. Game Operations Manual is different from the NFL Rule Book. http://time.com/4955704/nfl-league-rulebook-a62-63-national-anthem-rule/ Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  17. I just finished Episode 6 of "The Vietnam War." It covered Jan - Jul 1966. As it refreshed my memory I do not believe our current civil unrest is as bad now as it was then.

  18. You think they're jeopardising their income streams because it's trendy? They are celebrities and they are behaving as such. MSM plays it up because it creates sensationalism. There are more important issues in America than this one. Veteran suicide, adolescent suicide, veteran homelessness, drug addiction, etc. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  19. That does not change how people feel. That is why Donald Trump is the POTUS. If you want to address people's emotions, you have to do better than quote laws or statistics. Oh Ron! There you go with feelings and emotions. Again. I am a professionally trained counselor. That is what I do. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  22. NFL players are rich. I think they are protesting because it is trendy. 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.
  23. So why do you see it in NFL players using their position to raise awareness for a cause? Oh wait - it's because they're black and you're white. Because black people play the victim while white people take responsibility failures. My original post stated that what they were doing was ineffective. It negatively influenced their income stream. You made it a race/victim issue. There is a tradition in America of respecting the flag and the National Anthem. If someone chooses to oppose that tradition they will receive anger for it from veterans and other patriotic Americans. Ergo, many folks I know are tuning out the NFL and their sponsors.

  24. God does not make those kind of people any more than He makes Christians. It is a choice of belief, lifestyle and anticipated reward. 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.
  25. "The first thought I had was, once homosexual marriage was forced upon us we lost Biblical focus and everything became confusing." Sure sounds like you're a forced victim there. We are greatly saddened and angered that those who came after us, who have a better life than we had just want to spit on and disgrace our flag and our nation. And I'm pretty sure that means you're a victim who can't compete in the arena of ideas. No, again I state that I do not see victimization in that light.
