This happened with the cooperation of hundreds of competing media outlets like CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, CNN as well as daily newspapers, talk radio shows and internet sites across the country.<br /><br />3) Since 2001, we've had a nearly complete turnover of the "actual" federal government, which is now composed mostly of people who are philosophically opposed to just about everything the Bush administration did. We've also had significant turnover in "the media" which has resulted in thousands of new reporters who wouldn't have been involved in the original coverup. Despite all this, no media outlets other than the sites that you link to have uncovered the truth, and the "shadow government" remains in place to this day, influencing almost every aspect of American life without our knowledge.<br /><br />Did I get that right?Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011439524398331524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050466488271725981.post-51335709439182856372012-08-04T15:07:36.237-07:002012-08-04T15:07:36.237-07:00I enjoyed this Scott.

There are so many factors and uncertainties to be absolute about everything. I am commanded to love others not to judge them. <br />I also say that everyone is entitled to their beliefs. If someone says they believe marriage should be between 1 man & 1 woman but does not discriminate in any way in their personal or professional dealings then why do we take this so far? Are we that desperate for something to stand for? And if so, why not do something that breeds love instead of hate, judgement & condemnation? Everything is not absolute - thank you for taking THAT stand :)amy ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140928390140736800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050466488271725981.post-67713545714382487462010-06-13T20:13:41.617-07:002010-06-13T20:13:41.617-07:00Fair enough, Krissi.

I'm more concerned with those who legitimately believe that which they are saying, and then teach it to others as part of Christianity. All that does is seek to confuse people, and confusion is not of God.<br /><br />I did not intend my topic to be judgemental of the person who made the comment, rather I was placing judgement on the content of what was being said and the prevalence of the frequency of how often I hear people in the church say things like that.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08391920399358256019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050466488271725981.post-40949371543849848332010-06-13T18:16:06.502-07:002010-06-13T18:16:06.502-07:00I was just telling my bible study class this morni...I was just telling my bible study class this morning that when I am talking to a non-believing student on the topic of Christianity and a relationship with Jesus Christ, I don't even touch "rules" or "change" - in fact, I would never tell a non-believer all the things they need to change about their life. Give me a break! I'm appalled by those who want to address outward behavior problems before addressing the heart. (We were reading the story of how Jesus heals the man by the pool BEFORE addressing his spiritual problems - he met the physical need FIRST in that case.) I believe those behavioral changes in a person will flow naturally out of a genuine love relationship with their Savior - through the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Once their heart condition is in the right place, then I can help uphold them to truth and walk with them through change. But I have never once felt in the entire 23 years that I have been a born-again Christian that I was just subject to a bunch of RULES. It has ALWAYS been about a relationship - and like you said, true obedience. I WANT to please God - because I love Him. And He has NEVER steered me in the wrong direction. (Turquoise hair and all... ha. But even that is a reflection of the freedom and creativity I have in Christ - the attitude of the heart is what matters, like you said.)<br /><br />That being said, I try to show grace to those who say such seemingly "religious" comments, knowing that usually their heart is in the right place. And knowing that I want the same grace when my mouth slips, too. :)Krissi Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577952633318939577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050466488271725981.post-54803048228590060912010-06-12T10:54:01.993-07:002010-06-12T10:54:01.993-07:00This reminds me of a saying that I really like: &q...This reminds me of a saying that I really like: "A woman's heart should be so lost in God that a man has to seek HIM in order to find her."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00154080684688519321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050466488271725981.post-12517255262237308982010-03-29T23:48:00.145-07:002010-03-29T23:48:00.145-07:00"The sins of the father are visited on the th..."The sins of the father are visited on the third and fourth generation, but the mercy of the Lord is everlasting."

Basically people who rise above the divisions are those who experience the whole and then they can see no wisdom in the separatist stand. One needs to trust in God's will and be guided by it. It is such a sick situation, even when the solutions are established ages ago, humans still prefer to reinvent the wheel and how! Just have a look around everything that is on the surface of Earth was beneath the surface. In the 100 galaxies, this is the only planet known as yet to bear life and knowing this fully well see the way humans treat mother Earth. Do we deserve any better than what is happening now?

God made everything, the universe the planet and me. If I cannot embrace (accept and learn to love) God for who he is, then it is I who has a problem, not God. Like it or not, he's bigger and wiser than me and he gets to make the rules. So as more of his character is revealed to me, I am faced with a choice of whether or not to love that which is revealed, or rebel against it and reject it.<br /><br />Since God created the universe complete with all the stars and planets, I don't doubt that we'll have the opportunity to live in, on, or around those planets in the afterlife. Why else have them? Earth being one of those planets, then why not live here? The other question is easier to answer. As we "become Jesus" our spirit is in essence returning to the source - the source being God, who created us in his image - so yes we would be a spirit of peace and love (and all other attributes of God). If we reject God, our spirit has chosen to no longer be the image of God. And anything apart from God is evil. That's also scriptural.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08391920399358256019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050466488271725981.post-23021382176790454202009-05-03T19:33:00.000-07:002009-05-03T19:33:00.000-07:00"I tend to believe that salvation is an "all or no..."I tend to believe that salvation is an "all or none" kind of deal. People who truly fall in love with part of who God is will most likely embrace all of who he is and vice versa."<br /><br />I am not convinced of this, nor do I believe that it's truly possible to completely embrace all of who God is. <br /><br />Also, could it be possible that when we die, we will exist as Spirits among those still on earth? If we do exhibit those "God" qualities you speak of, will our Spirit be one of peace and love doing good on earth? If we don't exhibit those qualities, will our Spirit then be evil on earth?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
