I asked you a simple question as to whether you use fiat currency and all you had to do was answer it.\u0026quot;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI can only assume that you are Roger. Roger is the only one who asked that question, and I\u0026#39;ve answered the question.  \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ERe:\u0026quot; Instead you chose to view that as an attack on your character, accusing me of employing an ad hominem argument.\u0026quot;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe point is that when you address me rather than addressing the points presented, you\u0026#39;re engaging in a logical fallacy.  You\u0026#39;re making my claims dependent upon whether or not I am abiding by these claims, and that is beside the point.  I can use money all I want, and fully admit that I\u0026#39;m a hypocrite, or at the very least unconcerned by these facts. So what?  Whether I use money or not doesn\u0026#39;t negate or refute the facts I\u0026#39;ve presented. If you can\u0026#39;t address the facts presented, you\u0026#39;ve conceded those facts are true.  If you don\u0026#39;t accept those facts, then your argument is with the passages that were presented which you have yet to address. You and the BM would rather ignore these blatant biblical facts and instead focus your attention on me by assuming that if I am not abiding by these facts, then it somehow disproves these facts. It doesn\u0026#39;t disprove them at all.  It just provides some people with a false sense of security knowing that no one else is abiding in Christ.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ERe:\u0026quot;Do you, in fact, use any type of fiat currency in your daily life in any way, for anything at all? Please just answer \u0026quot;Yes\u0026quot; or \u0026quot;No\u0026quot;. That is all I want.\u0026quot;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe only person who asked this question was Roger, and I answered the exact question you just asked.  I replied with this: \u0026quot; I don\u0026#39;t use any type of fiat currency in my daily life.\u0026quot;  If you prefer a simple \u0026quot;No\u0026quot;, you got it.  \u0026quot;NO\u0026quot;.  Happy?  Again, whether I adhere to the facts stated in the bible is beside the point, and in no way negates or refutes those facts.  I can point out that adultery is wrong, and go right out and commit adultery, but that doesn\u0026#39;t suddenly make it acceptable or condoned.  The facts are not dependent upon my adherence or abilities.  As Paul says, \u0026quot;not by will or effort\u0026quot; Romans 9:16"},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/648884752216444797\/1856490707164277010\/comments\/default\/304024083934306698"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/648884752216444797\/1856490707164277010\/comments\/default\/304024083934306698"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/bionicmosquito.blogspot.com\/2022\/07\/the-mark-of-beast-slayer.html?showComment=1660573331480#c304024083934306698","title":""},{"rel":"related","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/648884752216444797\/1856490707164277010\/comments\/default\/4150202943884947208"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"shnarkle"},"uri":{"$t":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/12085426871631417354"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$in-reply-to":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","href":"https:\/\/bionicmosquito.blogspot.com\/2022\/07\/the-mark-of-beast-slayer.html","ref":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-1856490707164277010","source":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/648884752216444797/posts/default/1856490707164277010","type":"text/html"},"gd$extendedProperty":[{"name":"blogger.itemClass","value":"pid-1264605069"},{"name":"blogger.displayTime","value":"August 15, 2022 at 7:22 AM"}]},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-6612569731976886972"},"published":{"$t":"2022-08-15T02:41:09.208-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2022-08-15T02:41:09.208-07:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"What are the odds that a similar \u0026quot;terror\u0026quot..."},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"What are the odds that a similar \u0026quot;terror\u0026quot; will commence in the United States and that strongmen will take over, supposedly to quell it?
