I do have a question or two.<br />I have tried to reach some people with a few questions about things you are concerned with. Not much luck there. Folks get nervous when you start to suggest things that make them have to think that maybe they've been had or lied to or that makes them uncomfortable.<br />I get very upset with those who seem to think that they have all the right answers, or that facts don't matter. I certainly don't have them all.<br /><br />An example: "We all know that there is only one Mona Lisa. I don't think there has ever been a value placed on it. Who would decide and who would accept it? There are many reproductions of it and I suppose some are very convincing to those like me who would not be able to tell the difference from the Original and ONLY one. And of course if it's good enough, how much difference does it make when wanting to just "see" what the painting reveals. Everything that the original has is there to see in a perfect re-production. The question comes down to how much is the repo worth? What will one be willing to spend for a VERSION of it?"<br /><br />This is extreme I know but the point is this. When one is talking about The Word of God, like the painting, there is only ONE ORIGINAL. And although he who painted the Mona Lisa was very good at what he did, God is absolutely PERFECT about what He is doing. No mistakes, and although the painting might become less perfect just because of time passing, God is certainly able to preserve His Message to His people flawlessly and perfectly for eternity if need be. And He said so. <br />"Caelum et terra transibunt, verba autem nea non transibunt." Translation: "Heaven and earth fhal paffe, but my wordes fhal not paffe." Rheims translation of the Vulgate. Not some VERSION.<br />This is the Truth from the mouth of God. So we can believe that all of His other Words shall not pass either. And as John was told to write, "And if any man fhal diminifh of the words of the booke of this prophecie: God fhal take away his part out of the booke of life,...". Rev. 22:19 Rheims.<br />The KJV says: "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book...".<br />Well the word diminish has been taken away from the words of the KJV book. Why? What is the definition of diminish? Is it important for perfect understanding?<br />Like you, I expect some smarmy replies, if any, but I hope I'm right that they won't be from you.<br />There's much more if you are interested.<br />roger<br />rochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010242984451290011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-86918543974495329582020-09-22T09:36:39.077-07:002020-09-22T09:36:39.077-07:00Thankyou.Thankyou.rochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010242984451290011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-58109391207424292952020-09-22T05:15:19.369-07:002020-09-22T05:15:19.369-07:00There is a limit on characters, I have no idea if ...There is a limit on characters, I have no idea if this limit has changed.

As for your other comments, including those of nine days ago, I searched, and the only related thing I could find was Peace Through the Sword. Here's what you said: <br /><br />"It gives me pause to wonder: how to understand the idea of “love your enemies” when your enemies are after nothing but your death. (Para) Would Christianity have survived if every Christian meekly accepted martyrdom? And yes, I understand what can be said about the opening verse in the context of this question. (Para) Too much for me to contemplate, so I will just get on with the story."<br /><br />You believe that to be "addressing" the issue? All you really did in the article was to describe some history. By your own admission, you clearly sidestepped the fundamental problem. <br /><br />As for my prayer, I clearly prefaced it by telling you that it was deliberate exaggeration to illuminate a point, which you again refused to address. Perhaps YOU are the one with poor reading comprehension. Now after reading more of your efforts, my critique still stands. But more importantly, I am addressing a fundamental problem in current-day Christianity's understanding of existential defense. That understanding is obviously not the same as what Christians thought in the past. How did it change? Why did it change? Which understanding is moral? Both? Neither? If you want to mischaracterize my questions as desiring a fight, then that's your problem, not mine.

How exciting! This strongly intimates that the rest of the article will be about how we can combat evil by being aggressive directly against the perpetrators. <br /><br />However, then the article quickly devolves into proving that our enemies on the left knowingly work for Satan. The original idea of what WE should do about it is completely dropped from discussion. How feckless! Which to me means that this question, one of the most difficult in Christianity and now seemingly the most relevant, is sidestepped, bypassed, and overlooked in order to take the easy way out. <br /><br />Let's engage in a hyper example, by pushing the envelope on this issue to it's limits...<br /><br />“Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” Jesus Christ<br /><br />So that requires the following prayer from each of us...<br /><br />Dear God, bless all leftists and anti-fascist bolsheviks and egalitarians. I love them and forgive all of them forever and ever. Bless their motivations, and help all their plans come to fruition. Ensure that they eliminate all white people and all Christians, including me, and enslave any that remain. Ensure that they destroy Western Civilization, and help them raze it to the ground. Ensure that I have no anger or hate in my heart, and that I will never resist in the slightest way as they torture me and dispense with my family. Bless their ultimate objectives, so that true and perfect equality for the races and for absolutely all things will rule the earth, up to and including the thermodynamic heat death of the universe such that all distinctions and separations of Your Creation are eliminated. Bless them as they replace individual sin with collective sin that can never be expiated by your Son's Death and Transfiguration on the Cross. Fulfill all their moral fantasies including the total destruction of Christianity, so that nobody ever again has to worship You or Your Son, and never again has to hear His Name. This is the perfect result of what You have preached, and so this is what I want in Your Holy Name, amen. <br /><br />Well ???? Do we fight, or do we roll over in this existential war declared long ago by the left. Satan's minions well certainly not stop physically coming for us if we just beseech them with a few good Bible quotes. Will the pursuit of equality become the official religion of mankind? Or will we find a way to fight, like Constantine, or like Europe in 1683 at the Gates of Vienna? Doing nothing and expecting a miracle is fine I suppose, but I'm just a little bit tired of depending on God's Great Pendulum of History to swing back my way, because I'll certainly be in the afterlife long before it has any discernible effect on this world. To the standard smarmy non-answers I expect from my question, all I can say is yeah yeah yeah, what else is new?Monotonous Languorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358256793080183116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-72576946204948983462020-09-20T11:38:28.368-07:002020-09-20T11:38:28.368-07:00Great post.

I've been thinking of another Bible verse lately, with, I'll admit, not a little wrath in my heart.<br /><br />"At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?<br /><br />Jesus invited a little child to stand among them. “Truly I tell you, He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.<br /><br />But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."<br /><br />- Matthew 18:1-6<br /><br />Jesus especially loves (in the perfect sense of this word) children. Demons or the principalities especially hate Jesus. I don't think it's a coincidence that so many powerful people on this earth have been sexual abusers of children. They've all "struck their deal."<br /><br />I think it's time to make millstones a new gardening trend in the front lawns of those good folks who think it wouldn't be so bad if acting pedophiles (and all those trying to normalize these monsters) got the treatment Jesus prescribes above.A Texas Libertarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02980539931923054404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-78337469082650990322020-09-20T11:08:10.618-07:002020-09-20T11:08:10.618-07:00Nick, I just watched it.
