Attempts to understand a different way of seeing history without entertaining the different theory\/metaphysic are pointless, are bound to lead to confusion.

After all, this is America and we are rich.

Eventually all of us will stand before God and answer for our lives. At that point, it will have no effect at all to blame someone else or to say I voted for the lesser of two evils in order to bring about some good. At that point, we will be completely alone, completely individual in facing the truth about ourselves and there will be no excuses. We should be practicing for that event right now--in real time. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/648884752216444797\/4835059498617663552\/comments\/default\/1779016811227120640"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/648884752216444797\/4835059498617663552\/comments\/default\/1779016811227120640"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/bionicmosquito.blogspot.com\/2020\/11\/look-in-mirror-my-friend.html?showComment=1605103107743#c1779016811227120640","title":""}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Roger"},"uri":{"$t":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/08156823478509665137"},"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\/2020\/11\/look-in-mirror-my-friend.html","ref":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-4835059498617663552","source":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/648884752216444797/posts/default/4835059498617663552","type":"text/html"},"gd$extendedProperty":[{"name":"blogger.itemClass","value":"pid-863522218"},{"name":"blogger.displayTime","value":"November 11, 2020 at 5:58 AM"}]},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-4512861093958599722"},"published":{"$t":"2020-11-11T05:34:36.496-08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2020-11-11T05:34:36.496-08:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"How to love our enemies is determined by context.\n..."},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"How to love our enemies is determined by context.\u003Cbr \/\u003EWatch \u0026quot;To End All Wars\u0026quot;\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhat are the 3 world views shown?\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhich one do you choose?\u003Cbr \/\u003EDo not forget how POWs got to be POWs in the first place.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI also recommend \u0026quot;Sophie Scholls: The Last Days\u0026quot;\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhat would you do under the circumstances?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u0026quot;Joyaux Noel\u0026quot; about the Christmas Truce of 1917.\u003Cbr \/\u003EAre you sure you know who is the enemy?"},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/648884752216444797\/8095555987513895983\/comments\/default\/4512861093958599722"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/648884752216444797\/8095555987513895983\/comments\/default\/4512861093958599722"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/bionicmosquito.blogspot.com\/2020\/11\/deliver-us-from-evil.html?showComment=1605101676496#c4512861093958599722","title":""}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"JaimeInTexas"},"uri":{"$t":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/08729407700850451849"},"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\/2020\/11\/deliver-us-from-evil.html","ref":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-8095555987513895983","source":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/648884752216444797/posts/default/8095555987513895983","type":"text/html"},"gd$extendedProperty":[{"name":"blogger.itemClass","value":"pid-1725847355"},{"name":"blogger.displayTime","value":"November 11, 2020 at 5:34 AM"}]}]}});
