Times like these, sometimes you have to preach the gospel to yourself to remind yourself that we are heirs with Christ, though we suffer. It's a really bleak mindset otherwise placing our trust in man and worldly processes, and I was feeling that way much of today. but if it encourages others then praise God.

Christians have always been persecuted, as they still are today. This is not new. But the encouragement i'm trying to draw for you here, is that Christians don't place their hope in a country, or a world leader, or a charter as they are all subject to fallen nature of this world. They place their hope in Jesus Christ, God made flesh who transcends the limits of world. He's so much bigger that that, and we get to look forward to a time when there is a new heaven and a new earth and the world is restored to the goodness it was originally intended, free from the bondage sin that grips us now. We are all sinful and fall short from the glory of God. But the free gift of life and right standing with our Lord is eternal through Jesus Christ

If it makes you feel any better it’s taken me almost 4 years of trying to break the conditioning of my in laws. I feel like I’ve only just started to get through. The key is to get them to question everything. And you do that by asking questions, and and being prepared to answer yourself.

That was hilarious

Even religion predicting the imminent Second Coming, just want your donations.

I agree with you up to this point. Your statement alone reveals you don’t really understand what the second coming is, as it’s antithetical to the other examples you provided.

I’m pretty sure it was what you just said. It was in Hampton falls, I wasn’t near where the count happened but I know people personally who were involved with it

I live here. It’s ridiculous to think we would comfortably take over the state house senate and governorship but lose in federal. Of course our gov is lukewarm at best and is too busy worrying about what the leftists states surrounding us think. We’re not going to be able to touch this pile of garbage until the other states are sorted out unfortunately. At least I can say that the sleepy town I volunteered in did everything okay as far as I could see

Just got an email for this too... mass censorship in full blown swing

Ain’t that the truth

'rah. even if one person hears it and internalizes it i consider it a victory

if i could summarize my own post, it would simply be plan for the worst, pray for the best. I wish you well lady pede

my point being was that 40,000 rounds doesn't do anyone any good sitting in a box, that takes time to load my friend. Just encouraging you to do what you need to do to be prepared to make that stand.

with you on that. i've been seriously considering contingency plans. I think all people should

It’s going to be glorious when the media FINALLY has no other choice but to cover this. The longer they wait and try to avoid this the better it gets

good idea. Or one of those things where you log into the wifi and it redirects you to TD.WIN as a home page :D

i too am looking for a witty reply when someone gives me grief about it. Since i'm a lone wolf most of the time my stomach always gets tight. I don't care about the jeers and the glares, but when some clown comes up and starts giving me a problem I can never come up with a succinct way of shutting them down

Grew up in CT near Danbury. It’s a cesspool, I couldn’t leave fast enough. Went to NH and they’re slowly turning into what I tried to get away from.

They said indignantly while walking around wearing face diapers

You could say he has.... clear eyes

I love these progress updates

I’m not sure I understand your point. But first let me just say that it wasn’t Job, it was Lot and his family who lived in Sodom and Gomorrah, and we’re offered refuge from destruction.. Your conflating two different Biblical events. Also it was Abraham asking God about sparing people/Lot and his family not Lot himself. It wasn’t Lots righteousness or Abraham’s “negotiation” with God that spared Lot. God chose to spare Lot because he had mercy despite Lots poor choices. Here’s a better explanation explaining the story

https://www.gotquestions.org/Lot-in-the-Bible.html

Chapter 17 of the Westminster Confession of Faith summarizes the Bible’s teaching on perseverance, arguing that those with faith may fall grievously, but they will not fall away finally. Lot fell greviously and yet not totally out of the Lord’s hand. Nevertheless, he lost his property and his honor. If we love the sinful world too much, we may also fall under God’s discipline, and thus we must strive to walk in holiness lest we lose our good name and possibly our livelihood.

I’m not evil either

“as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one."” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭3:10-12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We all are evil and would be no different than the leftists that attack us if it weren’t for God’s mercy to reveal the truth of human nature... which is abundantly sinful. We all deserve Gods wrath and judgment. But God sent his son Jesus Christ, God made flesh, to die on a cross and thus be raised from the dead as an atonement for our sin and unrighteousness so that we wouldn’t come under condemnation. If you repent of your sin, and trust in Jesus, you too can share in the free gift of salvation.

Read The book of John, and Romans. I think you’ll find an answer to what is drawing you

i posted this study in a reply to someone on that subreddit who was seeking validation from others there for giving their father grief about questioning covid, and the election

well, history doesn't repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes...
