Follow-up: 7-20-19, Annette -- I have received some push back about my criticism of the profanity our President used this past week in North Carolina. A few others have concluded that the President did not use the Lord's name in vain or that we should lighten up and keep it in perspective. Here's what he did say:About his friend: "if you don’t support me, you are going to be so G-ddamn poor, you are not going to believe it.'” And a second time in a reference to how [G-D] hard the nation’s armed forces might strike Iran, should it come to a military conflict. [I couldn't find the direct quote.]

Using God's name as an adverb [or adjective] [describing how poor ... or how hard the military was going to hit Iran] is blasphemy.

I am a conservative supporter of Pres T and want to make an issue of this because he's getting a little too cocky; using more and more profanity. [In No Carolina he also repeated 'bullshit.']

Apparently Pres Trump believes he answers to no one; at least that's how he's behaving. God will not be mocked ... Pres T must rein it in and be more circumspect in his language. Appearances matter. I pray that Pres T will heed the warnings and admonishments and behave better so all his comments can be quoted and recorded without embarrassment. Write here to the president:

President Trump chided for use of profanity God's name at NC rally: 
​7-19-19, Mr President please curb your cursing; you are doing it more and more and now in North Carolina you even used the Lord's name. [Commandment #4: Exodus 20:7]

Sen. Paul Hardesty, Democrat from Virginia commented on the "distasteful comments" President Trump made during his July 18, 2019, North Carolina rally.  Senator Hardesty, a conservative Democrat Trump supporter from coal country, sent a letter to the president pointing out that he used God's name twice: 

• The first time was in reference to a business person whom Trump didn't get along with that reluctantly agreed he is prospering under the Trump administration. Otherwise, he would've been "g-d-damn poor"
• The second time Trump used it was in reference to how hard the U.S. military would strike Iran if it comes to it.

Hardesty said: "There is no place in society -- anywhere, anyplace and at any time -- where that type of language should be used or handled. Your comments were not presidential. I know in my heart that you are better than that. Remember it's "In God We Trust" in the United States, "not curse." I remains a supporter today and urge you to reflect on your comments and never utter those words again."

Trump, largely elected by evangelical Christians, has said he will fight for religious freedom. His support has increased among evangelicals, largely because of nominating conservative judges, moving the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and because of his anti-abortion policies; but are very disturbed that his use of profanity is increasing.

[Note: We Christians are appalled at President Trump's increasing cockiness, profane and sacrilegious comments.--Annette]

7-18-19, Gateway Pundit -- The heartbroken 20-year-old University of Michigan student conservative commentator Kathy Zhu  was expelled from Miss World America's [MWA]. The State Director Laurie DeJack declared and accused Kathy of “being racist, Islamophobic and insensitive.” ​ One of the issues was a tweet in which Zhu declared that the majority of black deaths are caused by other black citizens. Also at issue was that Kathy refused to allow an Islamic activist to put a Muslim hijab [head sack] on her head during an event on university campus.

Zhu responded by saying: “What is ‘insensitive’ is that women in the Middle East are getting STONED TO DEATH for refusing to obey their husband’s orders to wear hijabs. A Muslim woman tried to FORCIBLY put a hijab on my head without my permission. I tweeted about it on my social media, and it got the attention of the media. Almost everyone was supportive of me refusing to be put in that situation.” She asked Dejack: "Are the people in MWA implying that they advocate for the punishment of women who refuse to wear a hijab?”

Following her refusal to wear the hijab, angry Twitter users had attempted to get the Chinese-American student expelled from her university. DeJack also sent Zhu an email demanding that she return her crown and sash, as well as remove any mention of having participated in MWA from all of her social media. More here

Kathy Khu, who goes by @PoliticalKathy on Twitter can be seen below posing with her gun while wearing a MAGA hat and standing in front of a Trump MAGA banner. ​The MAGA beauty also claims she was “stripped” of her Miss Michigan title, “due to my refusal to try on a hijab in 2018, my tweet about black on black gun violence, and “insensitive” statistical tweets.”

Zhu replied: “Statistics and facts are not always pleasant. It’s disgusting how you would rather lie to the public’s face than be supportive of someone that is trying to make a difference by talking about subjects that no one dares to say.” More here

Moderate Democrats Should Worry About Their Own 2020 Candidates ...
7-1-19, TheNation -- Moderate Democrats Should Worry About Their Own 2020 Candidates because onlybold ideas and big plans are the the only way to animate an anti-Trump backlash.

There Are No Moderate Democratic Presidential Candidates For 2020
4-18-19, Federalist -- In a party tilting hard left, moderation in the 2020 race is now a function of personality, not policy stances, which must inevitably cater to radicals.
The most interesting thing about South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg candidacy is not the possibility that he could be America’s first homosexual president [and he has a 'husband]. Rather, that he's perceived as a leading moderate in the 2020 Democrat presidential race.

Psalm 19:1, Isaiah 40:21-23, 66:1
 
7-18-19, * -- Scientists and astronomers believed that God created the universe; but they wanted to understand how. God has given us the gift of reason, which if used properly, can help us to discover the relationship between a cause and an effect and what is true and what is a lie.
 
Without God’s Word to guide them, ancient cultures and scientists believed that the world was flat because that is what it appeared to be.
 
The Bible tells us the moon lights the night and the sun the day. [Genesis 1:16] Since only one hemisphere of the earth faces the sun during the day and one hemisphere at night, it must be concluded that the sun shines first on one hemisphere and then on another hemisphere, but not on both at the same time. God had put them in place ‘for signs and seasons, for days and years.’ (Genesis 1:14) God created the sun, the moon and the stars and put them in place to create a planetary clock with precise timing and measurements of days, years and centuries.
 

A Greek scientist born about 87 AD, Claudius Ptolemy proposed that the earth was the center of the universe not moving at all; thinking that all celestial objects — including the planets, Sun, Moon and stars … orbited Earth. Scientists believed this theory for one thousand four hundred years. Then along came Nicholaus Copernicus, (1473-1543) who proposed the sun is the center of the universe with the earth orbiting it as do all the planets and stars.
 
The Apostle Paul said, ‘The invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead.’ (Romans 1: 19-21)
 
King David said, ‘The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day to day utters speech and night after night shows God’s knowledge. There is not speech or language where their voice is not heard.’ (Psalm 19:1-3)
 
The prophet Isaiah 40:22 said the earth is a circle and God uses it as His footstool [Isaiah 66:1].

"The invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:​"  Romans 1:20

As with most things, science will eventually catch up with God’s truths. Let God be true and every man a liar. [Romans 3:4]

Jeffrey Epstein willing to post $100 million bail in sex traffic case
7-15-19, CNBC -- Prosecutors said Epstein, a former friend of President Bill Clinton, sexually exploited dozens of underage girls from 2002 through 2005 at his townhouse and Florida mansion. One victim Courtney Wild claims she was 14 when sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Annie Farmer claims she was 16. Both women told the judge to keep Epstein locked up without bail.

7-16-19, Ricky Rutherford, 41, father of eight in Alabama is “fighting for his life” because of a flesh-eating bacteria infection he contracted during a weekend kayaking trip. Ricky was healthy and did not have any open cuts, scratches or wounds. Ricky's wife, Cassey Rutherford, of Waterloo, Alabama chronology of events:

1. On July 6, 2019 family and friends went kayaking at Second Creek
2. On July 8th Ricky went to work and came home with a 103-degree temperature and cramping in his legs. He works in a warehouse, so he assumed he was simply feeling the effects of working on his feet in the heat
3. July 9th he returned to work, but could hardly walk at all when he got home.
4. July 10th his leg was red and swollen went to the ER; they told us it was cellulitis possibly contracted from our kayaking trip Saturday and treated him with IV antibiotics and sent him home with two more. They told him if there was any change to come back.
5. July 11th Ricky running a 105 fever and rushed back to the emergency room when doctors suspected it was flesh-eating bacteria and ran some tests.
6. July 12th Ricky went into surgery when doctors cleaned out a 5-by-6-inch chunk of the inner thigh of his leg.
7. July 15th cultures confirmed that flesh-eating bacteria — or necrotizing fasciitis had infected Ricky's leg.

Cassey Rutherford said: “The doctors told us didn't have to be cut on body as it could be a microscopic hole that it could come into and still spread like that. ... Do not get in that water! It’s not safe. Don’t jeopardize your family for a day of fun. It’s right here in our backyard.”

​7-15-19, WSJ -- In 1963 Alfred Hitchcock's scary movie 'THE BIRDS' has become a reality in America. Birds are turning violent as Red-winged blackbirds and other species are stepping up dive bombing humans. Stephen Vedder used to enjoy peaceful lakeside runs near his Marlborough, Mass. home. This spring 2019 those tranquil outings came to an end. It started with a whack to the back of the head. Next, Mr. Vedder was dive bombed then clawed. The culprit was a red-winged blackbird.

More than 250 million of the birds live across North and Central America, and this summer some are feeling extra aggressive toward human neighbors—driving them to change walking routes, wear protective headgear or furiously wave arms above their heads as they jog. Mr Vedder a 60 yr old programmer said:

“You talk to people about being attacked by birds, and they look at you like you’re crazy. This is ‘The Birds’ all over again, but it’s real!”  More here

7-17-19, BBC -- Studying common terns on a beach island in Massachusetts, people frequently attacked by a noisy dive-bombing squawking swarm, and took to wearing a hat with plastic flowers attached since birds typically attack the highest part of their target.
​
Joggers in Denver, Colorado, have been waving their arms above their heads as they run, in order to prevent their scalps from being strafed by red-winged blackbirds. More here

Birds 'Terns' Attack People in Farne Island, England

June 2013 [yes 2013] ... Tourists are being forced to dive for cover in scenes reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's classic film The Birds during visits to a huge nesting site on the isolated Farne Islands, England. The Terns are dive-bombing and pecking people's heads forcing them to take cover during visits to islands off the coast of Northumberland. Even bird watchers trying to photograph them are watching helplessly as the creatures attack their cameras.  More here

Democrat Party and Slavery ...
On January 1, 1863 under Republican President Lincoln the emancipation of all slaves occurred. However, Southern Democrats insisted on protecting slavery in all the territories; they claimed the Republican Party as being "Negro dominated." The Democrat Party was formed in 1792, when supporters of Thomas Jefferson began using the name Republicans to emphasize its anti-aristocratic policies. 

​Devin Nunes: FBI's Peter Strzok's 'insurance policy' failed ...
5-14-19, WashExaminer -- In August 2016, FBI agent Peter Strzok  & FBI lawyer, Lisa Page, mentioned an "insurance policy" in a text message. Conclusion: it was based on a plot to undermine then-candidate Donald Trump with the FBI's use of an unverified dossier [fake] compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [FISA] warrants to wiretap and spy on Trump's campaign through his adviser Carter Page.

Galatians 5:1; 2 Timothy 3:5; Revelation 12:9

7-13-19, Henry Morris, PhD -- Included in the Apostle Paul’s graphic description of the “perilous” characteristics of the “last days” (not the church age, since the prophesied last days were still future when he wrote of them in his last epistle, 2 Timothy 3:1-3) is this warning concerning the religious leaders of the last days. They would observe the outward form (church buildings, sacraments, religious services, etc.) of “godliness” (that is, “religion”), but would reject its supernatural aspects of the one true God. They would desire the trappings of religious professionalism since they would be “lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God” (2 Timothy 3:4).

Such specifications aptly describe the modern world of scientism and liberal theology that pervades practically all religious denominations and overlaps with all kinds of liberal social movements (women’s liberation, gay rights, “New Age” pantheism, and others). It is a snare and a prison keeping mankind from the truth and freedom found only in the Lord Jesus Christ. [Mark 10:45; Galatians 5:1; 1 John 1:7] Although these are widely diverse in structure and purpose, they all share one vital feature in common:

They reject supernatural Christianity, especially literal creationism. Many liberal preachers give nominal allegiance to the teachings of Christ and the Bible, but they invariably deny the mighty power of God in special creation, as well as the great worldwide miracles of the Bible—the Flood, the Hebrew dispersion, the miracle of Israel's people and land, etc.

Many Bible believing Christians have compromised and have accepted the evolutionary system of “ages geology,” and this is tragic and dangerous. Instead of being unequally yoked [2 Corinthians 6:14] with evolutionary naturalists and religious liberals, as many evangelicals today are inclined to do, Paul warns: 2 Timothy 3:5

7-17-19, Bill Wilson, Daily Jot [excerpt] -- Brothers and sisters, it's a sad day in America.

These elected people [Nancy Pelosi in House comments (1)] are behaving irresponsibly and disrespectfully, seeking offense and taking offense on every word spoken. They are not doing the bidding required of them by the Constitution or the electorate:

• You are not a racist because you disagree with someone of a different ethnicity or race.
• You are not a bigot because you disagree with someone's political belief.
• You are not a white supremacist because you were born white.

Galatians 3:28 says, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

Christian Americans are a vast voting majority in this nation. We need to expect, require and demand better of our elected officials. Otherwise it will be a sadder day in America. More here from Daily Jot

See 8 min Video of President Trump's actual comments that ARE NOT RACIST! Here

7-16-19, Fox News -- On Tuesday, 7-16-19  tensions escalated on America's Capitol Hill becoming a floor fight in the House of Representatives as Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke in favor of a resolution condemning "racist" comments by President Trump. Her words were eventually ruled out of order, as House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Democrat, announced the decision from the House parliamentarian.

The dramatic episode began when Pelosi's prepared remarks condemning President Trump turning personal and Georgia Republican Rep. Doug Collins rose to challenge her demanding that her words be "taken down." The extraordinary rebuke was historical and the first of its kind involving a member of Congress and a speaker of the House. Steny Hoyer said:"The words used by the gentlewoman from California contained an accusation of racist behavior on the part of the President," Hoyer said, in a decision that technically banned Pelosi from speaking on the House floor for a brief period of time. "The words should not be used in debate." More here

7-12-19, Natural News -- The climate change hoax has collapsed. A devastating series of research papers have just been published, revealing that human activity can account for no more than a .01°C rise in global temperatures, meaning that all the human activity targeted by radical climate change alarmists — combustion engines, airplane flights, diesel tractors — has virtually no measurable impact on the temperature of the planet.Scientists from Finland spearheaded the research, releasing a paper entitled, “No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic Climate Change.” The paper explains that IPCC analysis of global temperatures suffers from a glaring error — namely, failure to account for “influences of low cloud cover” and how it impacts global temperatures. Natural variations in low cloud cover, which are strongly influenced by cosmic radiation’s ability to penetrate Earth’s atmosphere due to variations in the strength of our planet’s magnetosphere, account for nearly all changes in global temperature, the researchers explain. [..snip]
​
Cloud cover accounts for the real changes in global temperatures is further supported by researchers at Kobe University in Japan who published a nearly simultaneous paper that reveals how changes in our planet’s magnetic field govern the intensity of solar radiation that reaches the lower atmosphere, causing cloud formation that alters global temperatures.

Democratic candidates are running a race of inauthenticity ...
7-10-19, WashTimes -- An epidemic of false identities, massaged resumes and warped ancestries has broken out among the current Democrat presidential primary candidates.

• Sen. Bernie Sanders, Vermont is running as a socialist, waging rhetorical class warfare against the haves on behalf of the have-nots. He is now a millionaire promising free stuff to voters.
• NY Mayor "Bill de Blasio" was actually born Warren Wilhelm Jr. ... the Latinate “de Blasio” apparently ranks higher than the overtly German “Wilhelm” in New York.
• Dem from Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren, for years claimed Native American ancestry then she took a DNA test that proved she's no more Native-American than most Americans.
• Robert Francis O’Rourke, is a rich white male who grew up in affluence. Mr. O’Rourke adopted the name “Beto,” Spanish abbreviation for “Roberto.” The Spanish-speaking, Irish-American O’Rourke, with a wink and nod, has assumed a useful near-Latino identity... more here

The Holy Bible (both the Old and New Testament) predates every nation and organization on the planet currently in existence by millennia (beginning with the book of Job – circa 2000 BC). It predates the Persians, Babylonians, Assyrians and is probably on par (timeline-wise) with the first Egyptian dynasty. It predates:

1. US Constitution
2. English Magna Carta
3. Roman and Greek Empires

Too many people today in the 21st-century believe that we’re superior to all who have come before us, not because we're collectively smarter (we aren’t), but because technology has lifted humanity out of the morass of having to grind out a living. This has freed up time so mankind could pursue other things: higher education, entertainment and careers that do not entail manual labor. Along with all that extra time and education, man began to develop philosophies regarding where he came from, why he’s the way he is, how we should live and where he is going after he dies.
 
The collective world has never enjoyed a time such as the one we are currently in. We take many modern conveniences for granted like: electricity, motorized machinery, heating and cooling, food production, instant communication and the Internet. However, mankind has returned to the consensus that God is dead, man is god and everyone does what they think is right in their own eyes. The Bible details a time before the global flood [1] in antediluvian history where mankind arrived at a similar conclusion: “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5 [Judges 17:6, 21:25; Proverbs 21:2, 26:12]
 
Even the most ardent skeptic must conclude; either the Bible is true or it’s not. If you believe the Bible is not true, then quit reading this and go on about your life. However, if you have questions and only doubt … there’s more. Either the Bible is 100% true or it’s all a lie. It’s far too interwoven to be both true and false. In other words, every book within the Bible connects with every other book within the Bible in such a way, that it would be impossible to separate them or have them contradict [2] each other. Example: The last canonized Old Testament book, was written by the prophet Malachi (circa 450-424 BC). This was over three-hundred years before Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem. We see that nothing in the Old Testament conflicts with anything in the New Testament.
 
How can that be?
 
The Old Testament was largely written by the Jewish people who practiced Judaism; to the point their descendants killed the prophesied Messiah Jesus Christ [Matthew 26:53] (of whom they still deny to this day). The New Testament was largely written by Jews who practiced Christianity because of this same Messiah Jesus Christ (of whom they affirm to this day). So the same system of worship Jesus Himself kept, Judaism, ended up killing Him because He fulfilled the things that system said the Messiah had to fulfill?? Yes, paradox abounds.

Almighty God requires a blood sacrifice of a perfect being for forgiveness of sin. (Leviticus 17:11; Isaiah 53:7-9; Matthew 26:28; John 1:29) We must understand one simple principle, then it all makes perfect sense: They are two parts of the same whole: Christianity is Judaism fulfilled.
 
From Creation to the Patriarchs, the Law, the Prophets, the Psalms, Proverbs and so on, are all part of the foundation for the New Testament. Furthermore, the Old Testament does not and could not exist in a messiah vacuum. Beginning in Genesis 3:15, the Old Testament requires and demands a Messiah figure to come as its culmination point.
 
The first century Hebrew Pharisees and Sadducee’s believed that the Messiah who would come, would only be a man like Moses or David. This man would throw off the shackles of Gentile domination that had hounded them for centuries. What they wanted, was the kingdom that was promised to them all throughout the Old Testament (Isaiah 2, 11, 66; Ezekiel 40-48; Daniel 2; Psalm 2; etc.). However, Jesus was not just trying to free the Jews from Gentile oppression, He was freeing all of mankind from the bondage of sin and death.

When Jesus, the Messiah, did come His primary mission was to make them (the Jews) a people fit for the kingdom. That is what the eight Beatitudes were all about in Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" [Matthew 5:1, 7:29]. Of course, these were impossible to keep, so instead they killed Him by having the Romans crucify Him naked on a wooden cross [Matthew 27:27-55] as foretold by King David a thousand years earlier:
 
“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me,And from the words of My groaning? 2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not  silent…6 But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people. 7 All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8 “He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”…Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me. 13 They gape at Me with their mouths, Like a raging and roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, And all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It has melted within Me. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death. 16 For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet; 17 I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me. 18 They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.”
Psalm 22:1-18
 
Christianity finds the culmination of all the Old Testament Law and Prophets fulfilled in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ (Hebrew- Yeshua Hamashiach, or the Greek rendering of the name, Iesus Cristos). Of all the would-be messiahs who have come and gone in Israel’s four-thousand years of history, only Jesus of Nazareth:

a) fits the prophesied timeline perfectly (Daniel 9:24-27) and
b) fulfilled over 108 specific prophecies concerning His coming. [Matthew 23:37-39]
 
However, because that generation (Jesus’s contemporaries) rejected Him as their Messiah, He said: “I will return again to My place Till they acknowledge their offense. Then they will seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.” Hosea 5:15
 
That time of His return has many names and is broken down into several segments. Collectively it is known as the day of the Lord. [Jeremiah 30:5-7; Zechariah 14:1-5;  Joel 2:1-17; Amos 5:15-24; Matthew 24:42-51; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-9; Revelation 3:1-3]

Conclusion - As you can see, this world is passing away, and our current state of affairs is not destined to last forever. It had a beginning and it will have an ending. The world, and all its current geopolitical complexities and dramas exists presently, to keep God’s promise to one particular group of people, the Jews. If that were not true, why is there so much hatred towards them? Why have they been the most persecuted group/ethnicity in the entirety of human history?

1. Egyptians enslaved them
2. Canaanites continually attacked them
3. Philistines continually attacked them
4. Assyrians conquered them
5. Babylonians conquered them
6. Persians kept them under Gentile rule
7. Greeks kept them under Gentile rule
8. Romans kept them under Gentile rule
9. Romans destroyed Jerusalem, exiled the remnants
10. English expelled them in 1290
11. French expelled them in 1306
12. Spanish expelled them in 1492
13. Russians allowed pogroms against them
14. Germans tried to exterminate them
15. Arabs/Muslims been at continual war/aggression with them
16. Leftist Progressives have increasingly turned against them

 
All of these have at one point or another, persecuted, attacked, laid siege too, imprisoned, conspired against, confiscated the wealth of, and expelled the Jewish people from their lands.
 
God had made unconditional promises to Israel’s forefathers (i.e., the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) in Genesis 12:1, 15:1, 17:1, 15-19, 28:1, Jeremiah 31:40 and more. He will give them the kingdom here on earth with Jesus reigning from Jerusalem for a thousand years, because God cannot lie, and what thing He has determined, He will do. (Isaiah 46:9-10)
 
Since the Bible comes from the Jews (both Old and New Testaments), Jesus Christ was Jewish, and the Bible states Satan hates the Jews and is currently running this planet (Luke 4:4-6, 1 John 5:13, 19), it only makes sense that Satan has been in a perpetual state of war against them.
 
Christ will visibly return judge the nations. So regardless of your beliefs, philosophies, college degrees, wokeness, political correctness, gender identity, victim identity, anyone who does not repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior personally [Psalm 86:5; Luke 13:3], will die in their sins, and be eternally separated from God (John 14:6). This is what you have to look forward too if you are not born again in Christ Jesus. [John 3:3, 7; Revelation 20:10-15]
 
I may not have persuaded you to believe that Jesus is Lord of Lords and King if Kings [1 Timothy 6:15; Revelation 17:14, 19:11–16]; that the end of this age is coming and very soon, but simply look around and ask yourself three questions:

1. Does the Bible really know the future?
2. Does the technology exist today for a one-world government to effectively run the world?
3. If the Bible isn’t true, when was it disproved and by whom? 

*Dedication To those who think Christianity is the cause of all the world’s problems. Apparently you think Christianity is responsible for the Crusades, the Inquisitions, slavery, Jonestown and global warming. You may have no issue tolerating other belief systems such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Wiccan, Islam, atheism, etc., but Christianity, oh that just gets your blood boiling. 
 
You strongly believe that all religions essentially are the same and need to coexist. You also believe that “true” Christianity is not about sharing the good news that Jesus died for your sins, but about feeding the poor, clothing the naked, and housing the homeless.
 
In your view, tolerance is everything and the only thing you cannot tolerate, is intolerance. This is the 21st century after all, and if a man wants to marry another man, so be it. If a man wants to identify as a woman, or vice versa, so be it. Women should be paid the same as men, regardless of the job they do, because of gender equality (even though you believe gender is a fluid concept). If a woman wants to marry her cat or the Pacific Ocean, so be it. If people want to come into this country “illegally,” they should, because nations shouldn’t have borders.
 
Perhaps you think life doesn’t begin in the womb, but only when a parent and a doctor agree that it begins (even if the baby is already born). Love doesn’t have gender (or age), and objective truth is just some racist construct meant to oppress minorities. In the 21st century, post-modern, post-Christian America, emotions trump facts, and truth is relative. Truth is whatever you want it to be.

7-4-19, * -- The 2020 Democrat primaries are underway with candidate after candidate promising a nation, not of free people, but of free things even for illegal migrants; but there’s a price to pay:

1.Free college - but the indoctrination is the price.
2.Free health care - by giving up the freedom to pick your own health care is the price.
3.Free everything else

The difference between freedom and free things has been progressively erased so that many think that the American Revolution we celebrate on ‘Independence Day’ the 4th of July was fought because the British weren’t providing affordable health insurance to the colonies. All that England’s Crown really wanted was for the colonists was to pay their “fair share,” a share that was determined thousands of miles away. All that the colonists wanted was the rights of Englishmen who no longer were under the ‘care’ of Britain – ‘no taxation without representation!’ [1] After a great deal of bloodshed, the colonists won the right to be Americans instead.

​
The United States of America has become a nation overflowing with the right to things paid for with other people’s money. A nation where the government gives you food, housing and education; while Walmart gives you cheap products made in China, that used to be made in America, back when people were able to afford health care, housing and food without having to pick each other’s pockets.
There is a big difference between a free country and a country of free things. You can have one or the other, but you can’t have both. 

[1] Taxation: American History -- a phrase, generally attributed to James Otis about 1761, that reflected the resentment of American colonists at being taxed by British Parliament where they elected no representatives and became an anti-British slogan before the American Revolution; in full, “Taxation without representation is tyranny.”

Psalm 68:4

2 Timothy 4:3-4; Romans 1:24; Jude 1:18

Hebrews 9:24

7-1-19, Henry Morris, PhD -- Although we usually think in terms of two appearances of Christ, once at His first coming and again at His second coming, the ninth chapter of Hebrews specifically refers to three “appearings,” each involving a different Greek word. With reference to His first appearing, we read: “Now once in the end of the [age] hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself” (v. 26). The word used here means “to make manifest.” It is the word used in 1 John 3:5: “He was manifested to take away our sins.”

His second coming is the topic in Hebrews 9:28, where the word means to show oneself visibly. “Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”

However, there is also a third appearing mentioned in Hebrews 9:24, and this is the one referring to Christ’s present and perpetual appearance on our behalf in the presence of God in heaven. The word here means “to inform,” referring to His advocacy on our behalf as our “defense attorney,” so to speak:

1. Not only did Christ die for us
2. Not only will He come for us
3. Right now, He is interceding for us as our Advocate. Job 16:19-20; 1 John 2:1

This work of Christ on our behalf is vitally important, although we do not think of it nearly as much as we do His two other appearings. This appearing affects us right now, every day, and is of infinite value. “If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 2:1-2). “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25) Source

7-13-19, * -- According to Malmo city statistics; in 2019 the city that has appx 300,000 inhabitants, one third were "born abroad."  In March, Sweden's National Forensic Center estimated that since 2012, the number of shootings in the country classified as murder or attempted murder had increased by almost 100 percent. The Centre found that the most popular weapon used in the shootings is the Kalashnikov assault rifle that is smuggled into the country.

• In January 2019, a so-called unaccompanied minor from Afghanistan, Sadeq Nadir, sought to murder several people in the city by ramming into them with a stolen car. He wanted to wage jihad and become a martyr. He told the police that his intention had been to kill. The event was initially classified as an attempt at a terrorist crime, but then changed to a charge of ten attempted murders. Although Sadeq had admitted that his intention was to kill; the court argued that he had not been driving "fast enough" to cause a concrete risk of death, the court did not find that he had acted from any religious terrorist motives. He was convicted of merely causing danger to others and threatening them.
• Jun 17, 2019 - Unknown criminals set fire to 19 cars in the Östberga area of southern Stockholm. Swedish police classify neighborhood as 'vulnerable' [1] ... Neo-Nazi from near Malmö charged for praising Hitler ...The small picturesque university town of Lund, close to Malmö, has recently been suffering from extensive car fires.
• On June 30, 2019 more gang related incidents; three shootings in three different suburbs in Stockholm. Two people, one of whom had been shot in the head, died. just in Stockholm, eleven people have already been shot to death -- the same number as for all of 2018. On July 1, 2019 National Police Chief Anders Thornberg said that the situation is "extraordinarily serious". He said: "For every young man who gets shot, there are 10-15 new ones ready to step in. … Swedes will have to get used to the shootings for the foreseeable future.”
• In 2018, Sweden experienced a record number of lethal shootings, 306 in all. Forty-five people were killed and 135 injured nationwide, most deaths occurring in Region South, where Malmö is located. In the first six months of 2018 almost every other shooting took place in a "vulnerable area", also known as no-go zones.
• In 2017 it was disclosed 61 ‘no-go’ zones encompassing 200 criminal networks, consisting of an estimated 5,000 criminals; majority non-Western immigrants and their descendants. Returnees, sympathizers for Islamic terrorist groups such as the ISIS, al Qaeda and al-Shabaab, and representatives of Salafist-oriented mosques, contribute to tensions between these groups and other residents in the vulnerable areas.

The safety of citizens is addressed in a publication: "Personal safety - tips and advice on how to avoid getting into unwanted situations" the municipality advises:
 
"Plan your itinerary - know your area...try to minimize the time from when you park your bike / car until you enter [the destination]. Before leaving a building, look out first and make an assessment of the surroundings to avoid getting into an unwanted situation... keep away from people who are considered potentially threatening or dangerous and increase the distance if there are no other people nearby".
 
The municipal government's guidelines on safety seem appropriate for a civil war zone, such as Beirut once was, rather than for the once-peaceful city of Malmö.
 
Car fires, frequent and widespread, are just one of the new aspects of living in the formerly idyllic city of Lund. One university spokesperson said about car burning: "I definitely think that these are young people who have not found their place in society, who know they are not accepted. …Car fires are not just a way of showing their displeasure; but a way of showing that they are frustrated, desperate and angry."
 
Swedish author Björn Ranelid disagreed he wrote in Expressen: "Sweden is at war and it is the politicians who are responsible. None of these criminals is starving or lacking in access to clean water. They have a roof over their heads and they have been offered free schooling for nine or twelve years. They do not live in dilapidated houses. All of them have had a higher material standard in their homes than several thousands of the children and young people who grew up at Ellstorp in Malmö where I lived with my parents and two siblings, in 47 square meters in two small rooms and a kitchen from 1949 to 1966."

What is the Swedish government's assessment of the violent and volatile situation? As late as June 6, 2019 on Sweden's National Day, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven remarked:  

"Sweden still has serious societal problems; but even though we can think of old times as an idyll with red cottages and green meadows, very few things were better before. I think we should celebrate just that, how much we have achieved as a country. We have built a strong country, where we take care of each other. Where society takes responsibility and no man is left alone."

Sadly, many Swedes probably feel terribly left alone in a country that increasingly resembles a war zone.

Psalm 139:14; Lamentations 3:24

7-12-19, Billy Graham Archives -- Woman asks: "My doctor says I have a chemical imbalance in my brain that he can treat with medication, but a friend of mine says, 'I shouldn't do this because I just need to pray and have more faith.' Who's right? I can't stand this much longer."

Answer: If you broke your arm in an accident, do you think your friend would claim it was a sin for you to have a broken arm and all you needed to do was pray? I doubt it. Neither is it a sin for you to seek treatment for a chemical imbalance in your brain.

The Bible says that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14) and it’s true: Our bodies and minds are very complex. Although doctors can’t solve all our problems, we should be grateful that God has enabled them to understand more about our bodies and minds and has given them new ways to overcome many of our problems.

However, please don’t misunderstand; God has given us the gift of prayer, and prayer should be an important part of your life as you struggle with this problem. Through prayer we draw near to God, and the closer we get to Him, the more we will realize that He loves us and wants to help us. Sometimes miracles do happen without doctors, but Jesus spoke of the need of physicians for the sick. Make sure of your commitment to Christ, and then ask Him to guide you as you seek treatment. [Mark 2:17]
