“I guess you know better than God.”
I never said that. My point is that waiting around for Him to miracle our asses out of this mess is stupid. He’s never done it before and there is no reason to think He will this time.

And Marxism is an appropriation of idiotic Hegelism among other demonic influencers. All of which in the end demand atheism.
The flesh always thinks the Spirit is stupid. But the flesh is wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.
The few brave Germans who stood up to Hitler will forever be remembered as awesome heroes .
“The flesh always thinks the Spirit is stupid.”
Maybe you think He’s stupid. I assure you I do not. All I’m saying, just like I said before, is that depending on Him to miracle our asses out of this mess ain’t gonna work.
It didn’t work in Europe in the 1940s.
It didn’t work in China in the 1960s.
It didn’t work in Cambodia in the 1970s.
And it ain’t gonna work now.

It worked in 1776 upon the Declaration of Independence when our Founders declared "a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence", and it will work again now for those who trust in him.
Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited.Jer. 17:5-8.“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not [c]fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
As my sainted Grandfather used to say: “Hope in one hand. Pee in the other. You let me know which one fills up first.”
And as one of my Platoon leaders so eloquently put it: “Hope ain’t a strategy, Private.”
L
Faith, Hope, and Charity IS the strategy for life and battle. “Blessed is the nation whose trust is in the Lord.”
Have a good day.
“Have a good day.”
Thanks. You as well.
Best,
