I swore to defend the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic when I joined the USMC.
It’s been a few years since I was active duty, but I never took back those words; nor will I ever. It means to me in this life as the Bible means to me in the after.
Exactly wining the infowar is really important. I work on a lot video campaigns for republicans in swing states. I feel like creating media that can influence people, can really make a difference.
Retired Army here to say you shouldn't feel that way at all. We're all patriots here. As long as you're informed, armed and have the fortitude to defend the homeland at its darkest hour, you're no different than any of us - we just get a paycheck.
I've been to rallies surrounded by patriots with a huge set of balls (and ovaries) and more heart than people I used to serve with. In the end, this is what matters the most. When shit hits the fan, I'd rather be surrounded by true patriots than a few guys who joined the military for the GI Bill.
i didnt want to because I didnt want to fight in their needless wars over nothing.
I always figured that, if there was a true justified war, nobody would stop me from just walking to the front lines with homemade gear and going at it at that point.

James 5:12 "But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment.”
aha ? Show me the unconstitutional law that states that ! There is none . Anyone that does that is a filthy traitor just like those that try to steal the elections.
I’m Jewish so James doesn’t really count. Not a bad message, but not exactly applicable in the above context either.
Good try though. I appreciate the effort to dissuade patriots from defending the constitution that protects G_d given rights like that of speech and self defense. It’s sneaky. It motivates me to fight harder for that which I believe in.
James definitely “counts” as does the rest of the New Testament. Jesus is the Christ. The Way, the Truth, and the Life. Family, God, Country. I’d die defending all three.
Leviticus 19:12 its there too.
I remember reading Tolstoy "What I Believe" this is when I first came across the concept.
I am a patriot I have sworn no oath nor will I ever. When the inevitable moment for action comes Lord willing my hand will be moved. You cannot plan the future it does not exist, basically an oath doesn't mean anything. "You will know them by their fruits."
No matter what us Christians and Jews need to look toward each other for redemption. Aside from whatever subversive means you believe I am trying to employ and I'm being really subversive here if all I did was motivate you then it was a job well done... Shalom?
Jewish by heritage, Christian by faith. I like your sentiment but I disagree with you in one way.
Christians don’t need to look toward Jews for redemption. At all. Not one bit.
From the inside I see how those people operate. I love patriotic Jews. They are few few few few.
There is a reason why our people who do break the programming scream to you, desperately, to get you to understand how much they hate you. Most goyim don’t listen. It’s suicide not to listen. They fucking hate you. They purposely scheme and plan to subvert your culture. They always have and always will. It’s not a coincidence, the byline of every destructive perverted newspaper article, every editor, the producers of the most disgusting movies and television shows, false history texts, every piece of evil legislation....
I'm a Christian and I would reply exactly the same way to the out of context quote by Ogcarvattack.
Thank you for your (continued) service, Sir!
Incidentally, and just as a passing point of interest, Christian tradition holds that James lead liturgical worship in the Temple; first on Saturday and then also on Sunday. (First Jewish, then also "Christian" before it was called that) He scoffed at his half-Brother, Jesus. Until he didn't. Who he looked just like.
I imagine I'd laugh off my brother too right up until he was beaten and crucified unjustly and I had to watch my mom react to that. Then he shows up again after being buried 3 days? Yeah.... that would be a train load of mixed emotions
I think the sentiment was that an honest person doesn't need to make elaborate statements and those that are swearing by God's throne, or whatever, can't be putting up such things as collateral for their veracity.
This verse is warning against those who would say, "I swear to God I am not lying." (When really they are lying.) Now they are double guilty: once for the lie and once for the false oath/swear.
The Oath we take to the Constitution is a loyalty pledge. Totally different.
Right on, u/ALargeRock! I also served in the Navy many, many moons ago, and am also ready to defend this great country against all enemies, foreign or domestic. It's a damn shame that some of the capitol hill weasels aren't willing to do the same, despite taking that same oath.
Actually, just came here to remind you what your paycheck said 😁
Correct. Frankly, the reason we are in the mess we are in is because the generations before us took liberty for granted. I vacillate daily between forgiving them for their ignorance, and raging against them for their apathy and laziness. Even a cursory study of history and our founding documents reveals The brilliance and rarity of our country and the delicate nature of the freedoms it was founded upon.
Its because of those before us forgetting freedom is earn through struggle and requires constant vigilance that we are here today.
This is simply a harder fight than before us because it has built up for so long.
If we had taken care of it in the past when it was smaller and more manageable, maybe things wouldn't be this way.
Regardless, it is what it is. We must fight as if our lives depend on this because it does. We are all soldiers now, not just the trained ones in uniform. This fight is closer to the Revolutionary war in magnitude than any civil conflict in our past.
honestly the truth is, its because slowly people's control of their own lives and abilities to actual run free enterprises was stolen from them, and over many years they adapted to a socio-economic system in which they had a smaller and smaller place.
over time people willingly lost sight of what value freedom even had because they were simply worried about getting by in day to day life. a person who has already lost freedom may go on hunger strike to get it back -- however a person who already has it likely will not GO on hunger strike to keep it.
its like someone who has a job on CNN or FOX -- they arent just going to go on air live one day and say "fuck my boss hes a cuck and fuck this job" and then proceed to say banned shit until they get fired and blacklisted.
in fact, in today's culture its such a given that people with integrity dont even try to do anything because they know they cant even get in and even if they did they'd just have to be yes-men and lie anyway.
so why did people "forget" freedom? the same reason people of lower social class scalp toilet paper. its all some desperate bid to hold on to what little they have at any cost -- even if the cost is everything they have in the end ironically.
the people who have, refuse to give up so it can be changed. and the people who do not have, effectively have no power over their own destinies. all identity politics really is, in this paradigm, is people fighting over limited temporary exclusions which get a few people "on their side" to the top of the same corrupt system. this is only for the optics, the appearance of diversity and fairness.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
It hasn't happened here in quite some time but I'm in. There is no way we can coexist with the people trying to fraudulently steal this election and destroy this country. We don't want war but sometime it has to be.
You should get used to fighting against tirany, because it's not going away even if we go scorched earth on them now, 10/20/50 years later they'll be back.
Don't get me wrong, I certainly find value and purpose in scripture. I was a devout Christian until my teenage years which were really formative for me. In some ways I've passed the point of no return, but in others I actually believe certain things more strongly than I had as a regular church-goer.
I subscribe to Jordan Peterson's approach to the Bible nowadays (which is far closer than I was as an angry atheist). Its a balance of transcendent principles and secular thinking that mixes well for me. I'm at the point where I'm agnostic in the sense that, while I cant bring myself to interpret the Bible literally, I'm no so ignorant to the miracle that is existence that I can claim that we're simply an anomaly who don't matter.
It's been a weird journey for sure. That said, I've always appreciated the openness that you and others offer whenever I've mentioned it. I miss the security and comfort of believing, but I really can't see a way I come "fully" back without lying to myself.
My hope is that if I can utilize scripture as a philosophy that successfully propelled humanity to where it is today, strip out the superstition, but live by the principles as well as I can, that maybe I'd be shown mercy if my non-literal interpretation turns out to be correct.
I went to church up until I was about 16 or so. I began to question a lot that didn't quite make sense to me around then and it eventually lead to my leaving the church completely.
I had my "militant atheism" phase since I had a bit of a chip on my shoulder, but that eventually faded and I came to appreciate the value of Christianity while not necessarily subscribing to it personally.
It was less of a decision and more of a realization. I wanted nothing more than to go back to believing, but it was like peeking behind the curtain with no way to turn back.
For what its worth, Jordan Peterson speaks on it in a way I'm on board with. I cant go back to believing in a literal sense, but the idea that there are principles that we can consider to be transcendent (which I guess would be God as far as translation goes) is something I do hold to be true.
It's constantly on my mind. I like to think that I believe "enough" of the spark notes so-to-speak. I live my life as though there is a god, so Hell, maybe I'm more Christian than I realize.
The morality is something I value very much, but the superstition doesn't jive with however my brain works.
So I was raised in a protestant church where we took the word literally. Basically a textualist approach to scripture.
As I got older and learned more about our understanding of reality, the scripture went from being the bona-fide literal truth to seeming more like a story.
Rebel-teen brain kicked in and found everything wrong that it could. Things like the creation story, the floods, etc. made less and less sense to me. Then I became angry with the idea that it was so easy for me to believe because of how easy my life was and how fortunate I was while growing up. I was never starving, I was never in fear of not having clean water, I wasn't born with any disabilities, etc.
I felt like I'd been had, but instead of giving religion the benefit of the doubt, my mind decided to go scorched earth on the idea. I felt that religion was for people who were afraid of death, who wanted to justify wrongs in the world as being "the plan," and wasn't satisfied with the idea of ignoring these thoughts by simply having faith. Evidence to the contrary piled up, but the church said "don't worry your pretty little head, just ignore that."
I don't hold those hostile attitudes any more (especially with Peterson's lectures), but it's hard for me to believe in the God I was taught about. At least as far as his abilities went.
I went to a catholic university and had some really great discussions with my theology professor about my journey. He said that a collegue of his has argued that the Bible may have overstated the power of God. Im gonna butcher it, but it was something akin to:
"Due to the suffering allowed in this world, God cannot be all knowing, all loving, and all powerful. One must give. He either knows and controls all, but is not all loving (or else we would not have childhood cancer), controls and loves all but does not know all (i.e. he isn't aware of childhood cancer), or he knows and loves all, but is not in control (therefore he detests childhood cancer, but cannot prevent it)."
He told me it was a point that caused him to struggle, and that he subscribes to the idea that God knows and loves all, but is no longer in control. He says he can see a reality in which God was in control, but gave up the controls to man in a way that he cannot override them.
I'm just rambling at this point, but basically it doesn't jive with my interpretation of reality. I can see the scripture as a philosophy that still holds value, but the superstition is something I can't bring myself to hold as true without being dishonest with myself.
I'll give my answer to the problem of evil, which will almost certainly be insufficient, but here it is anyway.
What if the things we see as evil aren't actually evil? We are extrapolating from extremely incomplete data. Even materialistic interpretations of the universe acknowledge this.
So, and bear with me here, what if childhood cancer isn't the evil we think it is? (I have children, and Ive suffered personal tragedy before you think me callous) What if the reality we experience is not actually real? Have you ever experienced a dream which changed your life? I have. There was a point in my life where I was starting to get into some gnarly shit, and I had a nightmare about the consequences and turned it around. As horrible as that nightmare was, it wasn't real. But it had real, positive effects. What if this reality is a proofing ground for remedial souls to give us a foretaste of existence outside of God's presence so that we can make a more informed decision about how to spend eternity?
"Why doesn't God just say that, then?" He kinda does if you read the Bible a certain way. But it would also spoil the effect IMO if He was more explicit.
"But there's no proof for this" True. Which is why it's insufficient. Here's the thing, I find that there's plenty of evidence, both material and philosophical, for intelligent design. (Not young Earth creationism, ID) So if there is a God, there's no reason we should expect to understand His mind completely. And there's no reason to assume that we can comprehend the complexity of His actions.
Spez: here's the mindfuck, imo: what if God is all powerful and all evil? What if the good things we experience are designed to make the suffering here and after more intense? Now, I don't believe this but it can be disconcerting in moments of weakness.
Very well worded (I've long dabbled in the realm you are speaking) except I would counter your "mindfuck" with this, hopefully calming, questioning:
If God was all powerful and all evil and good things we experience were designed to increase suffering (contrast) - why then does the world default to decay? The absence of action in this life results in good / usefulness / fufillment dwindling:
Stop lifting weights? Muscles shrink back.
Don't go to work? Stop getting paid.
Don't plow the fields? Weeds grow not heads of cabbage.
Stop enforcing the law? Criminals run wild.
Don't take care of your teeth? They rot.
Etc. Why would a constant need to perservere / face adversity be needed to demonstrate contrast so suffering was deeper? Why not just make everything extremely easy?
You may then counter that well then that an "evil" God made us desire the satisfaction of rewarding work so that we can than be made to toil for ever and never reach satisfication in some sort of hell but now then are you not seeing the infantile nature of this line of thinking? If God can (which we must assume at face value for this topic) plant the inner concepts of desires / mental feedback does this whole thing not seem like a bunch of extra steps that are unneeded? Would an "all powerful" God waste his effort time / creation / power doing such things?
Now taking it all back a step to the higher picture let's flip it. Why then would an all powerful "good" God put us through this if he could just control our desires / mental feedback to make us want to do good? Well, my interpretation of the Holy Spirit is that he actually has. I believe our conscious is the Holy Spirit guiding us subtly to know what is right in God's eyes - this manifests itself in successful cultural norms that even most athesists accept as "right". Don't murder, don't steal, fight off addictions, etc. The important distinction is we are not robots though - you still have the choice to ignore such guidance though God very much does not want you to.
But I will stop here as we are getting into "initial sin" / knowldge / Adam talks as to why you can even choose to do sin / be evil. I wil lleave it with this for those still following who struggle with this part: If God is everything and good and if true praise (not shallow modern usage of the word - think deeper here, 'oneness') is his desire - would he want it to come from creations that had to or from creation that actively had to surpress a mountain of reason not to but still chose to? Does a merciless tyrant have more real power than a deeply loved President?
If you consider good and evil as a spectrum such that it is impossible for good to exist without evil, maybe this universe is an optimal balance of the two?
You got me thinking theology this morning, so I'm going to lay it all out for you. This is the only analysis of Christianity that makes sense to me...
The creator of this physical world is Satan, and his power is an emulation of God's. It's pretty good but not entirely real because the divine spark of true creation always come from God Himself.
We are partially the creation of Satan's physical world (our bodies) while also being God's children through the divine spark within all of us. This divine spark is often called "soul".
This physical world is kind of like a science experiment. It's Satan's attempt to "out-god God". He wanted to make a perfectly balanced, perfectly consistent, self-sustaining creation. And this world is perfectly balanced. Good equals bad in all things. For example, if you feed a puppy and watch it grow, other animals will need to die in order to provide meat to feed it. If you fall in love with someone, one day either you or your loved one will die, resulting in sorrow. Every birth results in death.
Keeping all this in mind, we can answer why God does not intervene. And the answer is free will. Satan, as a divine being, has the gift of free will from God, just as Man -- a partially divine being -- also has free will.
God cannot intervene with our affairs because He would then be stepping into the science experiment that Satan has set up. And if He took away that free will from Satan, God would be denying the nature of his own creation.
But how could God leave us to suffer, you may ask? God has not left us abandoned. We also have free will, thus God can only show us the way. He cannot force us into it. God speaks to us constantly if we listen, and He even sent Christ to be a little more obvious about the message.
Because we are an inherent part of Satan's experiment, we are the ones who can change things within it without violating the rules that Satan himself has set up. And we are the ones who can choose God if we wish. Of course, this infuriates Satan because it proves that despite all of his perfect and beautiful illusion, the truth of God still wins out in the end.
God is in control. But that control also means that free will must play out...and in the end the choices we freely make may be the most important aspect of our existence.
I had much the same journey; I have a lot of trouble saying I believe in God, but symbolically, in my mind, when I think in those terms - well, it seems to have an effect on my mitochondria. I feel a sense of energy..
..and maybe that is enough to make it true (or I'm just mad lol).
Do you believe in your own spirit? Is there something to your experience here that is more than the sum of the flesh parts? Why should we even be aware at all when our mechanisms could simply function without a consciousness as any machine does?
If you bodies have some strange spirit moving within them, what about the body of the universe?
In terms of spirit and consciousness.. I can think of biological mechanisms that explain them away. A sense of soul or spirit may just be a conditioned response based on my Catholic upbringing; and consciousness, it's a competative advantage and I can imagine circumstances that may favour it's evolution.
However, I certainly have trouble rationalising away the 'something from nothing' problem. Kraussians would say that the question doesn't make sense.. something to the effect that something can be derived mathematically from nothing - but then, where did mathematics come from? Or perhaps the argument was that 'nothing' is not a valid state of the universe.. In any case it is unedifying.
I understand where your line of questioning is leading.. it's basically what I would like to believe; but believing what you want to believe can be a dangerous thing right? You have inspired me to meditate on it some more, which I appreciate!
I preached one time on the biblical basis for having security teams in churches. I referenced that verse and said "In modern terms, if you don't have a Glock sell your Playstation and go buy one."
Folks are gonna hate on this sentiment likely because they forget that God wants you wholly dependent on him, and our definitions of success may vary significantly from his.
Yep. I'm not going to get all preachy but let me say that no matter what, if SHTF and it doesn't go OUR WAY, it is still God's plan, and no matter who "wins" this election - Jesus Christ is King, before, now, and forever!
I used to believe this too... until my wife's work educated me about how many children are so traumatized that they have the will to live "raped" out of them. They abandon all hope and kill themselves.
It's not that they abandoned Jesus... it's more like they fought until they couldn't fight anymore and faded away long before their bodies died.
So I disagree: some people are given more than they can handle. They fight, but they don't always win.
I suspect not every challenge we face in life is part of God's plan. I suspect God doesn't cause car accidents and I suspect God doesn't plan for children to be traumatized so badly that they no longer recognize themselves in the mirror.
The fact that for so many people he has chosen not to and allowed them to come to the inevitable conclusion he already knew would happen indicates the very least, indifference to it.
Or that the manifest suffering in the world is a necessary ingredient in order to give rise to the best of all possible worlds, and without such interspersed suffering the universe itself would be less elegant, less beautiful, less godly.
Omnipotence is a fallacy: for example, God cannot lie, will not fail, and does not change. These are the only limits I'm aware of, but even just this much vacates omnipotence. The better English rendition is "most powerful," rather than all powerful.
Account for this information and at least some of your conclusions will necessarily change. Existential stuff to ponder ...
You think you're talking about free will, but what you're describing is illusion of free will dictated by mechanistic action. In other words, you're free to choose what the maze decides.
I strongly disagree. I've made choices that go against every possible mechanistic explanation...they have flown against how I was raised, what I experienced, or my genetics or culture. I made them because I decided they were "right".
And I've pulled myself out of deeply ingrained patterns of behavior because someone I love told me I had a problem. It was love that made the change, not a bunch of chemical reactions. If anything the chemicals reactions were keeping me in the same place as before.
The essential question is do the atoms control us or do we control the atoms? I think this differs from person to person, but we can control our own lives if we choose to.
i honestly think what happened was that initially god set up a near-perfect system, however something happened in which the creation itself in some way betrayed its creator causing an imperfection.
god, being outside of time, would see the beginning, middle and end. and I think so long as the beginning nor end are altered, ultimately the system is still running in a way which achieves the initial result still at the very end.
im not sure that god doesnt care that the middle is fucked up -- but that it ultimately does not matter as long as the beginning and end arent. and thats why you could say "everything is still according to plan".
whatever influenced/fucked up the universe at the middle stage didnt fuck it up enough to actually throw off the results significantly, even if it may seem that way to us in the present time.
also god coming in to "fix" it now could result in even more unintended fuck-up consequences which DO in fact start changing the beginning or the end. I mean essentially thats what lucifer did by falling I guess and starting the initial fuck-up to begin with. start interfering with the system once it was already in place.
The point isn't that people don't fail - it's that if you are enduring suffering, it is something that God can give you the grace to handle if you only ask for it and rely on Him. All things are possible with God, and He obviously knew what was to come, how you are feeling, and what you need.
It's never been easier to tell which side was God's side. It's not like 1861, when both sides were asking for God's help. This time, only one side is....the other side is spitting in God's face.
I always hoped God would never call me to be a martyr. I don't think I'd make a good martyr. I relate much more to Sampson, with the jawbone of an ass. And btw, we can beat the globalist scum!
A positive attitude is what pedes are renowned for. It is one of our superpowers.
As TDW reaches new heights in popularity, it is important to keep the energy up. Not just for each other, but also for all the newbies that wander onto here, feeling dejected and need of a morale boost.
The meme is so true. It is hard to avoid disappointment with every setback that you know is unfair.
But I do feel we are going to win. I don't know how, but we are. And we are going to contribute to that end, also.
Half the world is protesting en masse against globalists.
If you North American civilians don’t step up to the plate and get in the streets to demand truth and justice for treason, sedition and insurrection the veterans will start lining up in the streets marching past you.

I'm an awful shot and my physical limitations, both from old scars and genetics, would make me more a threat to my own side than the enemy on a foxhole.
I am, however, good at oration and encouragement. And writing. So that's what I do. And I'm ready to do what more I can if necessary... once I figure out what that is.
Individuals will lead the charge. Militias won't do shit. IMO.
They claim to be "the last line of defense against a tyrannical government." They have ignored all the tyranny from State and local governments. Do they care only about Federal tyranny? It's our federal government that hasn't been so bad, only as far as DJT has been able to keep them in check.
Militias could be setting up tables at gun shows to pass out information to stop "the slow march through the institutions," and recruit. This would accomplish a lot, but needed to ramp up 50 years ago.
Militias will help a lot if civilization topples; comms. That is waiting far too long. If everything goes dark except State propaganda, they will have real info. In that scenario the "taking up arms to protect people" has context. Most would still die.
We must know different militias. There are throngs of hard hitting folks waiting to see what happens on Inauguration day. They are waiting and watching these court battles. The four boxes must be used in order. The founding fathers ignored a lot of tyranny also, for decades, until their hands were forced by violence and death coming first from the tyrants.
”For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
This War isn't over tell we give up and that's never going to happen.. The Lord has been preparing you for this fight weather you realise it or not....Have you not been tempered in the past few years, prepared for this great War? When you fight for the Truth and strive for it with all your heart and all your mind you become a Soldier for rightouseness... In that you serve the Lord weather you beleive it our not for faith is walking the path and that path is contary to the ways if this fallen world and it Master the father of all lies.
When the world hates you for seeking rightouseness you have a friend an advocate in Jesus..This War will bring many into the knowledge of our saviour...
Everyone knew (or should have known) that this was going to go right down to the wire. That's now something anybody wants to believe because it's going to be a tough, long old pull, risky, and the results are not in the bag. But, it is what it is; giving up isn't an option.
Rest when you need to rest, so you can get back in there -- this isn't going away any time soon.
I'm not tired yet, I'm no where near tired. I'm a dog at the end of its chain, waiting patiently to be let loose. I'm ready to rip and tear. I've been waiting 12 god damned years for this. LET ME LOOSE
Whenever someone tells me how hard their life is, I listen to all of the things that trouble them. When they are finished, I always say:
"God is good, and God is great. He is the one that knows all. Trust that he knows you are able to carry this burden, and that he has placed this burden with you because you are the one chosen to do the tasks he has laid before you. He does not overburden, and he has a purpose for you. One day you will look back, and it will all make sense. Your task is to trust in him, and believe that it is for his glory."
This is a test like all others before it. Trust in God, and he will see us through.
ALMIGHTY God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious Majesty, to judge both the quick and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, now and ever. Amen.
Just happens to be the collect for this the first week of Advent.
We, if believers, no longer belong to this world. We are God's. His precious loves. So in turn the world will reject us as they rejected him. It's the way it is. I just recently realised this and how true it is. I will fight the evil and Satan's minions on this earth. Will you?

Saw this meme this morning, smiled, and upTrumped.
Went into work and learned some bad news. On top of that, they issued a mandatory wearing of masks at your desk policy. Came home early before I did something stupid.
In the mist of depression, not knowing where the Lord is taking me, I came across this post again. Thank you, pede, and God bless you!
Beautiful. A tool sharpened by his Master. A blunt rod becomes a chisel, easily forming that which it strikes. Only through Jesus and with Faith through rough times.
This timeline - and this battle - are both blessings!
Our enemies are exposing themselves for the evil, traitorous scum they are! This is their end game. And they're executing it in such a bumbling manner it's almost laughable. Almost.
Of course, there is real risk here. We will never forget that. But I do have to chuckle at the inept manner in which the deep state carries out their treasonous plots.
That’s what they all say.
Freedom isn’t a given. Freedom is earned through constant struggle against tyranny. The Constitution is meaningless unless people
I swore to defend the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic when I joined the USMC.
It’s been a few years since I was active duty, but I never took back those words; nor will I ever. It means to me in this life as the Bible means to me in the after.
God Bless
There’s many ways to serve your community; military is but one of. ❤️
Exactly wining the infowar is really important. I work on a lot video campaigns for republicans in swing states. I feel like creating media that can influence people, can really make a difference.
May God bless us and may he save our country.
Agreed Pede
Retired Army here to say you shouldn't feel that way at all. We're all patriots here. As long as you're informed, armed and have the fortitude to defend the homeland at its darkest hour, you're no different than any of us - we just get a paycheck.
I've been to rallies surrounded by patriots with a huge set of balls (and ovaries) and more heart than people I used to serve with. In the end, this is what matters the most. When shit hits the fan, I'd rather be surrounded by true patriots than a few guys who joined the military for the GI Bill.
Not serving in the military is definitely my biggest life regret. :-( I think I would have absolutely fucking loved it.
i didnt want to because I didnt want to fight in their needless wars over nothing.
I always figured that, if there was a true justified war, nobody would stop me from just walking to the front lines with homemade gear and going at it at that point.
Welcome to the digital army then pede here you can do your service to your country

James 5:12 "But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment.”
there in lies the rub.
aha ? Show me the unconstitutional law that states that ! There is none . Anyone that does that is a filthy traitor just like those that try to steal the elections.
I’m Jewish so James doesn’t really count. Not a bad message, but not exactly applicable in the above context either.
Good try though. I appreciate the effort to dissuade patriots from defending the constitution that protects G_d given rights like that of speech and self defense. It’s sneaky. It motivates me to fight harder for that which I believe in.
James definitely “counts” as does the rest of the New Testament. Jesus is the Christ. The Way, the Truth, and the Life. Family, God, Country. I’d die defending all three.
Leviticus 19:12 its there too. I remember reading Tolstoy "What I Believe" this is when I first came across the concept.
I am a patriot I have sworn no oath nor will I ever. When the inevitable moment for action comes Lord willing my hand will be moved. You cannot plan the future it does not exist, basically an oath doesn't mean anything. "You will know them by their fruits."
No matter what us Christians and Jews need to look toward each other for redemption. Aside from whatever subversive means you believe I am trying to employ and I'm being really subversive here if all I did was motivate you then it was a job well done... Shalom?
Jewish by heritage, Christian by faith. I like your sentiment but I disagree with you in one way.
Christians don’t need to look toward Jews for redemption. At all. Not one bit.
From the inside I see how those people operate. I love patriotic Jews. They are few few few few.
There is a reason why our people who do break the programming scream to you, desperately, to get you to understand how much they hate you. Most goyim don’t listen. It’s suicide not to listen. They fucking hate you. They purposely scheme and plan to subvert your culture. They always have and always will. It’s not a coincidence, the byline of every destructive perverted newspaper article, every editor, the producers of the most disgusting movies and television shows, false history texts, every piece of evil legislation....
It’s. No. Coincidence.
I'm a Christian and I would reply exactly the same way to the out of context quote by Ogcarvattack.
Thank you for your (continued) service, Sir!
Incidentally, and just as a passing point of interest, Christian tradition holds that James lead liturgical worship in the Temple; first on Saturday and then also on Sunday. (First Jewish, then also "Christian" before it was called that) He scoffed at his half-Brother, Jesus. Until he didn't. Who he looked just like.
I imagine I'd laugh off my brother too right up until he was beaten and crucified unjustly and I had to watch my mom react to that. Then he shows up again after being buried 3 days? Yeah.... that would be a train load of mixed emotions
I think the sentiment was that an honest person doesn't need to make elaborate statements and those that are swearing by God's throne, or whatever, can't be putting up such things as collateral for their veracity.
Like that person you know that always says what a good person or insert positive adjective, virtue, or value here they are.
If someone constantly says how x they are, chances are they aren't actually x. Actions are what makes someone worth something.
The Messiah the King. We are all GOD's children in the end.
This verse is warning against those who would say, "I swear to God I am not lying." (When really they are lying.) Now they are double guilty: once for the lie and once for the false oath/swear.
The Oath we take to the Constitution is a loyalty pledge. Totally different.
Right on, u/ALargeRock! I also served in the Navy many, many moons ago, and am also ready to defend this great country against all enemies, foreign or domestic. It's a damn shame that some of the capitol hill weasels aren't willing to do the same, despite taking that same oath.
Actually, just came here to remind you what your paycheck said 😁
Semper Fi
Correct. Frankly, the reason we are in the mess we are in is because the generations before us took liberty for granted. I vacillate daily between forgiving them for their ignorance, and raging against them for their apathy and laziness. Even a cursory study of history and our founding documents reveals The brilliance and rarity of our country and the delicate nature of the freedoms it was founded upon.
yep
Its because of those before us forgetting freedom is earn through struggle and requires constant vigilance that we are here today. This is simply a harder fight than before us because it has built up for so long.
If we had taken care of it in the past when it was smaller and more manageable, maybe things wouldn't be this way.
Regardless, it is what it is. We must fight as if our lives depend on this because it does. We are all soldiers now, not just the trained ones in uniform. This fight is closer to the Revolutionary war in magnitude than any civil conflict in our past.
We can't give up now. It's only getting started.
honestly the truth is, its because slowly people's control of their own lives and abilities to actual run free enterprises was stolen from them, and over many years they adapted to a socio-economic system in which they had a smaller and smaller place.
over time people willingly lost sight of what value freedom even had because they were simply worried about getting by in day to day life. a person who has already lost freedom may go on hunger strike to get it back -- however a person who already has it likely will not GO on hunger strike to keep it.
its like someone who has a job on CNN or FOX -- they arent just going to go on air live one day and say "fuck my boss hes a cuck and fuck this job" and then proceed to say banned shit until they get fired and blacklisted.
in fact, in today's culture its such a given that people with integrity dont even try to do anything because they know they cant even get in and even if they did they'd just have to be yes-men and lie anyway.
so why did people "forget" freedom? the same reason people of lower social class scalp toilet paper. its all some desperate bid to hold on to what little they have at any cost -- even if the cost is everything they have in the end ironically.
the people who have, refuse to give up so it can be changed. and the people who do not have, effectively have no power over their own destinies. all identity politics really is, in this paradigm, is people fighting over limited temporary exclusions which get a few people "on their side" to the top of the same corrupt system. this is only for the optics, the appearance of diversity and fairness.
Good! Don't ever suffer it. We have the tools and methods to prevent and eradicate tyranny.
I hope it’s something we cast off, again. This feels like a great opportunity.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
It hasn't happened here in quite some time but I'm in. There is no way we can coexist with the people trying to fraudulently steal this election and destroy this country. We don't want war but sometime it has to be.
You should get used to fighting against tirany, because it's not going away even if we go scorched earth on them now, 10/20/50 years later they'll be back.
Oooo, smooth. Nice try.
Well done, sir.

I'm not even a Christian and it still gives me hope.
Good. I hope you reconsider your stance on Christianity friend. There are many uplifting quotes and life values you can learn from.
Don't get me wrong, I certainly find value and purpose in scripture. I was a devout Christian until my teenage years which were really formative for me. In some ways I've passed the point of no return, but in others I actually believe certain things more strongly than I had as a regular church-goer.
I subscribe to Jordan Peterson's approach to the Bible nowadays (which is far closer than I was as an angry atheist). Its a balance of transcendent principles and secular thinking that mixes well for me. I'm at the point where I'm agnostic in the sense that, while I cant bring myself to interpret the Bible literally, I'm no so ignorant to the miracle that is existence that I can claim that we're simply an anomaly who don't matter.
It's been a weird journey for sure. That said, I've always appreciated the openness that you and others offer whenever I've mentioned it. I miss the security and comfort of believing, but I really can't see a way I come "fully" back without lying to myself.
My hope is that if I can utilize scripture as a philosophy that successfully propelled humanity to where it is today, strip out the superstition, but live by the principles as well as I can, that maybe I'd be shown mercy if my non-literal interpretation turns out to be correct.
You'll be alright, I know it :)
No matter how far you walk away from God, you are only one step back to Him.
never too late . . . Christ would for you to join Him
I appreciate it, friend.
I went to church up until I was about 16 or so. I began to question a lot that didn't quite make sense to me around then and it eventually lead to my leaving the church completely.
I had my "militant atheism" phase since I had a bit of a chip on my shoulder, but that eventually faded and I came to appreciate the value of Christianity while not necessarily subscribing to it personally.
It was less of a decision and more of a realization. I wanted nothing more than to go back to believing, but it was like peeking behind the curtain with no way to turn back.
For what its worth, Jordan Peterson speaks on it in a way I'm on board with. I cant go back to believing in a literal sense, but the idea that there are principles that we can consider to be transcendent (which I guess would be God as far as translation goes) is something I do hold to be true.
It's constantly on my mind. I like to think that I believe "enough" of the spark notes so-to-speak. I live my life as though there is a god, so Hell, maybe I'm more Christian than I realize.
The morality is something I value very much, but the superstition doesn't jive with however my brain works.
What is it that makes you unable to believe? I guess, I'm asking what was behind the curtain that you saw?
So I was raised in a protestant church where we took the word literally. Basically a textualist approach to scripture.
As I got older and learned more about our understanding of reality, the scripture went from being the bona-fide literal truth to seeming more like a story.
Rebel-teen brain kicked in and found everything wrong that it could. Things like the creation story, the floods, etc. made less and less sense to me. Then I became angry with the idea that it was so easy for me to believe because of how easy my life was and how fortunate I was while growing up. I was never starving, I was never in fear of not having clean water, I wasn't born with any disabilities, etc.
I felt like I'd been had, but instead of giving religion the benefit of the doubt, my mind decided to go scorched earth on the idea. I felt that religion was for people who were afraid of death, who wanted to justify wrongs in the world as being "the plan," and wasn't satisfied with the idea of ignoring these thoughts by simply having faith. Evidence to the contrary piled up, but the church said "don't worry your pretty little head, just ignore that."
I don't hold those hostile attitudes any more (especially with Peterson's lectures), but it's hard for me to believe in the God I was taught about. At least as far as his abilities went.
I went to a catholic university and had some really great discussions with my theology professor about my journey. He said that a collegue of his has argued that the Bible may have overstated the power of God. Im gonna butcher it, but it was something akin to:
"Due to the suffering allowed in this world, God cannot be all knowing, all loving, and all powerful. One must give. He either knows and controls all, but is not all loving (or else we would not have childhood cancer), controls and loves all but does not know all (i.e. he isn't aware of childhood cancer), or he knows and loves all, but is not in control (therefore he detests childhood cancer, but cannot prevent it)."
He told me it was a point that caused him to struggle, and that he subscribes to the idea that God knows and loves all, but is no longer in control. He says he can see a reality in which God was in control, but gave up the controls to man in a way that he cannot override them.
I'm just rambling at this point, but basically it doesn't jive with my interpretation of reality. I can see the scripture as a philosophy that still holds value, but the superstition is something I can't bring myself to hold as true without being dishonest with myself.
I'll give my answer to the problem of evil, which will almost certainly be insufficient, but here it is anyway.
What if the things we see as evil aren't actually evil? We are extrapolating from extremely incomplete data. Even materialistic interpretations of the universe acknowledge this.
So, and bear with me here, what if childhood cancer isn't the evil we think it is? (I have children, and Ive suffered personal tragedy before you think me callous) What if the reality we experience is not actually real? Have you ever experienced a dream which changed your life? I have. There was a point in my life where I was starting to get into some gnarly shit, and I had a nightmare about the consequences and turned it around. As horrible as that nightmare was, it wasn't real. But it had real, positive effects. What if this reality is a proofing ground for remedial souls to give us a foretaste of existence outside of God's presence so that we can make a more informed decision about how to spend eternity?
"Why doesn't God just say that, then?" He kinda does if you read the Bible a certain way. But it would also spoil the effect IMO if He was more explicit.
"But there's no proof for this" True. Which is why it's insufficient. Here's the thing, I find that there's plenty of evidence, both material and philosophical, for intelligent design. (Not young Earth creationism, ID) So if there is a God, there's no reason we should expect to understand His mind completely. And there's no reason to assume that we can comprehend the complexity of His actions.
Spez: here's the mindfuck, imo: what if God is all powerful and all evil? What if the good things we experience are designed to make the suffering here and after more intense? Now, I don't believe this but it can be disconcerting in moments of weakness.
Very well worded (I've long dabbled in the realm you are speaking) except I would counter your "mindfuck" with this, hopefully calming, questioning:
If God was all powerful and all evil and good things we experience were designed to increase suffering (contrast) - why then does the world default to decay? The absence of action in this life results in good / usefulness / fufillment dwindling:
Etc. Why would a constant need to perservere / face adversity be needed to demonstrate contrast so suffering was deeper? Why not just make everything extremely easy?
You may then counter that well then that an "evil" God made us desire the satisfaction of rewarding work so that we can than be made to toil for ever and never reach satisfication in some sort of hell but now then are you not seeing the infantile nature of this line of thinking? If God can (which we must assume at face value for this topic) plant the inner concepts of desires / mental feedback does this whole thing not seem like a bunch of extra steps that are unneeded? Would an "all powerful" God waste his effort time / creation / power doing such things?
Now taking it all back a step to the higher picture let's flip it. Why then would an all powerful "good" God put us through this if he could just control our desires / mental feedback to make us want to do good? Well, my interpretation of the Holy Spirit is that he actually has. I believe our conscious is the Holy Spirit guiding us subtly to know what is right in God's eyes - this manifests itself in successful cultural norms that even most athesists accept as "right". Don't murder, don't steal, fight off addictions, etc. The important distinction is we are not robots though - you still have the choice to ignore such guidance though God very much does not want you to.
But I will stop here as we are getting into "initial sin" / knowldge / Adam talks as to why you can even choose to do sin / be evil. I wil lleave it with this for those still following who struggle with this part: If God is everything and good and if true praise (not shallow modern usage of the word - think deeper here, 'oneness') is his desire - would he want it to come from creations that had to or from creation that actively had to surpress a mountain of reason not to but still chose to? Does a merciless tyrant have more real power than a deeply loved President?
If you consider good and evil as a spectrum such that it is impossible for good to exist without evil, maybe this universe is an optimal balance of the two?
You got me thinking theology this morning, so I'm going to lay it all out for you. This is the only analysis of Christianity that makes sense to me...
The creator of this physical world is Satan, and his power is an emulation of God's. It's pretty good but not entirely real because the divine spark of true creation always come from God Himself.
We are partially the creation of Satan's physical world (our bodies) while also being God's children through the divine spark within all of us. This divine spark is often called "soul".
This physical world is kind of like a science experiment. It's Satan's attempt to "out-god God". He wanted to make a perfectly balanced, perfectly consistent, self-sustaining creation. And this world is perfectly balanced. Good equals bad in all things. For example, if you feed a puppy and watch it grow, other animals will need to die in order to provide meat to feed it. If you fall in love with someone, one day either you or your loved one will die, resulting in sorrow. Every birth results in death.
Keeping all this in mind, we can answer why God does not intervene. And the answer is free will. Satan, as a divine being, has the gift of free will from God, just as Man -- a partially divine being -- also has free will.
God cannot intervene with our affairs because He would then be stepping into the science experiment that Satan has set up. And if He took away that free will from Satan, God would be denying the nature of his own creation.
But how could God leave us to suffer, you may ask? God has not left us abandoned. We also have free will, thus God can only show us the way. He cannot force us into it. God speaks to us constantly if we listen, and He even sent Christ to be a little more obvious about the message.
Because we are an inherent part of Satan's experiment, we are the ones who can change things within it without violating the rules that Satan himself has set up. And we are the ones who can choose God if we wish. Of course, this infuriates Satan because it proves that despite all of his perfect and beautiful illusion, the truth of God still wins out in the end.
God is in control. But that control also means that free will must play out...and in the end the choices we freely make may be the most important aspect of our existence.
I had much the same journey; I have a lot of trouble saying I believe in God, but symbolically, in my mind, when I think in those terms - well, it seems to have an effect on my mitochondria. I feel a sense of energy..
..and maybe that is enough to make it true (or I'm just mad lol).
Some questions to consider...
Do you believe in your own spirit? Is there something to your experience here that is more than the sum of the flesh parts? Why should we even be aware at all when our mechanisms could simply function without a consciousness as any machine does?
If you bodies have some strange spirit moving within them, what about the body of the universe?
In terms of spirit and consciousness.. I can think of biological mechanisms that explain them away. A sense of soul or spirit may just be a conditioned response based on my Catholic upbringing; and consciousness, it's a competative advantage and I can imagine circumstances that may favour it's evolution.
However, I certainly have trouble rationalising away the 'something from nothing' problem. Kraussians would say that the question doesn't make sense.. something to the effect that something can be derived mathematically from nothing - but then, where did mathematics come from? Or perhaps the argument was that 'nothing' is not a valid state of the universe.. In any case it is unedifying.
I understand where your line of questioning is leading.. it's basically what I would like to believe; but believing what you want to believe can be a dangerous thing right? You have inspired me to meditate on it some more, which I appreciate!

God won’t give us a task we can’t handle. Much love ! <3
Folks are gonna hate on this sentiment likely because they forget that God wants you wholly dependent on him, and our definitions of success may vary significantly from his.
Yep. I'm not going to get all preachy but let me say that no matter what, if SHTF and it doesn't go OUR WAY, it is still God's plan, and no matter who "wins" this election - Jesus Christ is King, before, now, and forever!
Honestly it seems like we may war no matter who wins.
That is called knowing that God is sovereign. Preach it, brother.
Yes He is 🙌
I used to believe this too... until my wife's work educated me about how many children are so traumatized that they have the will to live "raped" out of them. They abandon all hope and kill themselves.
It's not that they abandoned Jesus... it's more like they fought until they couldn't fight anymore and faded away long before their bodies died.
So I disagree: some people are given more than they can handle. They fight, but they don't always win.
I suspect not every challenge we face in life is part of God's plan. I suspect God doesn't cause car accidents and I suspect God doesn't plan for children to be traumatized so badly that they no longer recognize themselves in the mirror.
There are casualties in every war. That doesn't mean there isn't a general in control or soldiers without duties.
What you wrote, while a tragic reality, is not responsive to what you responded to: you are not referring to a task God gave them.
And how do you define a "task from God"?
That's a rhetorical question, incase you didn't underhand.
Edit: I'm sorry a down-vote is the only response you could manage.
Anything people can handle, clearly. (/s)
Yeah, the actual scripture says the Lord won’t let us encounter a temptation we can’t handle.
Whether or not one is capable of handling something is different then whether or not they choose to handle something.
Or that the manifest suffering in the world is a necessary ingredient in order to give rise to the best of all possible worlds, and without such interspersed suffering the universe itself would be less elegant, less beautiful, less godly.
Well said.
God is not the only force in our world.
And death is part of it.
This does not equal indifference.
Omnipotence is a fallacy: for example, God cannot lie, will not fail, and does not change. These are the only limits I'm aware of, but even just this much vacates omnipotence. The better English rendition is "most powerful," rather than all powerful.
Account for this information and at least some of your conclusions will necessarily change. Existential stuff to ponder ...
You think you're talking about free will, but what you're describing is illusion of free will dictated by mechanistic action. In other words, you're free to choose what the maze decides.
I strongly disagree. I've made choices that go against every possible mechanistic explanation...they have flown against how I was raised, what I experienced, or my genetics or culture. I made them because I decided they were "right".
And I've pulled myself out of deeply ingrained patterns of behavior because someone I love told me I had a problem. It was love that made the change, not a bunch of chemical reactions. If anything the chemicals reactions were keeping me in the same place as before.
The essential question is do the atoms control us or do we control the atoms? I think this differs from person to person, but we can control our own lives if we choose to.
i honestly think what happened was that initially god set up a near-perfect system, however something happened in which the creation itself in some way betrayed its creator causing an imperfection.
god, being outside of time, would see the beginning, middle and end. and I think so long as the beginning nor end are altered, ultimately the system is still running in a way which achieves the initial result still at the very end.
im not sure that god doesnt care that the middle is fucked up -- but that it ultimately does not matter as long as the beginning and end arent. and thats why you could say "everything is still according to plan".
whatever influenced/fucked up the universe at the middle stage didnt fuck it up enough to actually throw off the results significantly, even if it may seem that way to us in the present time.
also god coming in to "fix" it now could result in even more unintended fuck-up consequences which DO in fact start changing the beginning or the end. I mean essentially thats what lucifer did by falling I guess and starting the initial fuck-up to begin with. start interfering with the system once it was already in place.
Satan is real. Despair is real. Sometimes the demons win. Why do you think this fight is so important?
Amen
Irrelevant to the statement made. His ways are not our ways.
The point isn't that people don't fail - it's that if you are enduring suffering, it is something that God can give you the grace to handle if you only ask for it and rely on Him. All things are possible with God, and He obviously knew what was to come, how you are feeling, and what you need.
Nice this got pushed to the top. There really is a spiritual war going on.

But I do feel we are going to win. I don't know how, but we are. And we are going to contribute to that end, also.

NICE!
I'm an awful shot and my physical limitations, both from old scars and genetics, would make me more a threat to my own side than the enemy on a foxhole.
I am, however, good at oration and encouragement. And writing. So that's what I do. And I'm ready to do what more I can if necessary... once I figure out what that is.
Individuals will lead the charge. Militias won't do shit. IMO.
They claim to be "the last line of defense against a tyrannical government." They have ignored all the tyranny from State and local governments. Do they care only about Federal tyranny? It's our federal government that hasn't been so bad, only as far as DJT has been able to keep them in check.
Militias could be setting up tables at gun shows to pass out information to stop "the slow march through the institutions," and recruit. This would accomplish a lot, but needed to ramp up 50 years ago.
Militias will help a lot if civilization topples; comms. That is waiting far too long. If everything goes dark except State propaganda, they will have real info. In that scenario the "taking up arms to protect people" has context. Most would still die.
We must know different militias. There are throngs of hard hitting folks waiting to see what happens on Inauguration day. They are waiting and watching these court battles. The four boxes must be used in order. The founding fathers ignored a lot of tyranny also, for decades, until their hands were forced by violence and death coming first from the tyrants.
Exactly, have to wait a while to make it obvious what's unfolding. Taking up arms immediately just makes you an anarchist.
yep

This War isn't over tell we give up and that's never going to happen.. The Lord has been preparing you for this fight weather you realise it or not....Have you not been tempered in the past few years, prepared for this great War? When you fight for the Truth and strive for it with all your heart and all your mind you become a Soldier for rightouseness... In that you serve the Lord weather you beleive it our not for faith is walking the path and that path is contary to the ways if this fallen world and it Master the father of all lies.
When the world hates you for seeking rightouseness you have a friend an advocate in Jesus..This War will bring many into the knowledge of our saviour...
Amen
One dog-faced pony solider, reporting for duty!
hahahaha
Everyone knew (or should have known) that this was going to go right down to the wire. That's now something anybody wants to believe because it's going to be a tough, long old pull, risky, and the results are not in the bag. But, it is what it is; giving up isn't an option.
Rest when you need to rest, so you can get back in there -- this isn't going away any time soon.
TRUTH!
Who has 2 thumbs and know they are a patriot ? .... <----------This Guy !!.....who else ?
Ayyyyy, right here!
I’m looking forward to watching Bannon’s War Room. It’s up there with Rush as my daily must-haves.
Christ is King, Savior and son of God
I'm not tired yet, I'm no where near tired. I'm a dog at the end of its chain, waiting patiently to be let loose. I'm ready to rip and tear. I've been waiting 12 god damned years for this. LET ME LOOSE
I'm at my mens group for church. This was just what I needed to hear. Thank you pede.

Whenever someone tells me how hard their life is, I listen to all of the things that trouble them. When they are finished, I always say:
"God is good, and God is great. He is the one that knows all. Trust that he knows you are able to carry this burden, and that he has placed this burden with you because you are the one chosen to do the tasks he has laid before you. He does not overburden, and he has a purpose for you. One day you will look back, and it will all make sense. Your task is to trust in him, and believe that it is for his glory."
This is a test like all others before it. Trust in God, and he will see us through.
Thank you, I needed to hear this today.
God Bless Fren
May Godbless you, as well.🙏🏻
Amen
ALMIGHTY God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious Majesty, to judge both the quick and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, now and ever. Amen.
Just happens to be the collect for this the first week of Advent.
The truth is the fight...
Thank you for posting this. Hit me right in the feels. Things have been really tough lately.
We, if believers, no longer belong to this world. We are God's. His precious loves. So in turn the world will reject us as they rejected him. It's the way it is. I just recently realised this and how true it is. I will fight the evil and Satan's minions on this earth. Will you?
yes
Full. Speed. Ahead.
This is a different war (for now) and we are all fighting in it
Without TD.W helping to keep me informed without sugarcoating everything, yet still bolstering my morale, I might already have been a casualty.
I'm mass spam adding normies on FB and IG, downloading videos and lownloading them directly, aka so they're imbedded so the lazy masses must WITTNESS ME!
WITTNESS MEE NORMIE MOTHER FUCKERS! X'D
(finally figured out to post long full length video to IG)
“They’ve surrounded us!”
“Good, then there’s nowhere for them to run.”
Saw this meme this morning, smiled, and upTrumped.
Went into work and learned some bad news. On top of that, they issued a mandatory wearing of masks at your desk policy. Came home early before I did something stupid.
In the mist of depression, not knowing where the Lord is taking me, I came across this post again. Thank you, pede, and God bless you!
God Bless Fren
For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, in Him, in love... Ephesians 1:4
Beautiful. A tool sharpened by his Master. A blunt rod becomes a chisel, easily forming that which it strikes. Only through Jesus and with Faith through rough times.
Envynitaz, this meme hits me in the feelz and in the conscience. Mod=master memesmith
God Bless
Yep, ENVYNITAZ, pretty much says it all. No one gets out of life without a struggle.
Thank Fren!
-Amen-
I’m so fuckin ready for martial law. Have military redo election and border patrol arrest the traitors

CORRECT!
"And the gates if hell shall not prevail against it" is NOT speaking of a defensive posture.
Ok awesome thanks
God Bless
Free Men Don't Go Freely!
I'm ready
This timeline - and this battle - are both blessings!
Our enemies are exposing themselves for the evil, traitorous scum they are! This is their end game. And they're executing it in such a bumbling manner it's almost laughable. Almost.
Of course, there is real risk here. We will never forget that. But I do have to chuckle at the inept manner in which the deep state carries out their treasonous plots.
GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
MAGAKAG 2020!
