One can see what one sees, but one can not see seeing.

The only thing real is the seeing itself.

The analogy the Bible uses for this is 'light.' Really, there are no words for it, so it's silly to speak of it. But hey, here we are :-)

OK must fold laundry!

Well at least with the Commie left now calling President Trump on American. We now have a case made for bringing back the House committee on un-American activities Booyah

OANN is a pretty good news channel to watch.

Y'missed it.

All the politicians conspired against Daniel and so effectively, he was thrown in the lion's den.

The lion's den is not the story, the political make-up of Babylon IS.

Thank you for that explanation. I have never heard it expressed that way before.
You have increased my understanding.

I will be thinking of what you said about compassion and humility tonight.

We have become lukewarm, and you know the rest of the letter and what it says. Don’t be sad for America, God knows what he’s doing and he sits on the throne. To save many, the heat, by necessity, will have to be turned up. Keep the Faith.

Thank you so much for that kind post.

Now just help me adjust my composite flak vest and hardened alloy helmet. Have to dodge some criticism here.

Thanks again.

I agree. We are so overwhelmed by the shear volume of information on a daily basis it defies the average everyday human.

Lately the last few weeks I have taken to keeping the TV off at night and reading. In the last three weeks I have read about 8 books. Eyes are a little tired but I am certainly a little happier.

I despise the MSM and the the Corrupt Jackass’ in Congress who do everything they can do to undermine this country and seem to want WAR rather than peace, which is what I truly believe Donald Trump wants. I actually agree with Trump we should not trust the Intel services any further than we throw them.

It is beyond comprehension that we have a DOJ and FBI so corrupt that no Justice can be done. The Rule of Law has not only been compromised but stomped into the ground and no one really cares in D.C. except Trump. He is up against the wall and yet he marches on. I pray for Donald and hope God will help him Smite his Enemies.

They jumped early. Know your socialist adversary.

The left wants one President Trump far away from Putin.

Just unplug for 3 or 4 weeks and concentrate on your prayer life. Hope it works out for you.

For most of human history a sad day was when your neighboring tribe sacked your village, killed the men, raped the women and took the children as slaves.

Quit whining.

Go watch some of those #WalkAway videos. They are pretty up-lifting.

Concentrate on the 5-10 people closest to you.
In the end, this is what is most important anyway.
Trump can’t fix this all by himself.

This is how the left became unglued as they thought Obama was going to lead them to the promised land.
He didn’t and in the processes, they are quickly loosing their minds.

It could just as easily happen to Conservatives.

All True, but it takes you, and me, and everyone on this forum. For every 50 people who don’t want to hear what you have to say, you’ll influence at least one in the right direction. Sometimes, we didn’t even know it. So, I try not to lose faith. It’s a grind. There are plenty of people who may not think like you initially, but ask themselves why you, an otherwise strong, intelligent person thinks the way you do. It opens their mind to see other sides of an issue that they wouldn’t have before. I’d be willing to bet that you have changed minds, especially beyond or outside of this form...and you will continue doing so.

True enough. We’ve been making so much ado about a politician that we forget that he doesn’t deserve to be the Lord of our lives. Jesus does. If Jesus can bless believers under Nero, He can bless them under Obama and of course under Trump too.

Now we are sad when we beg on the streets, something which I am close to. Wouldn’t you be glad to have women to undergo the danger of rape, or to have a home to undergo the danger of pillaging?

Don't put emotions into God's thoughts- He told us that the world would devolve into a cesspool before Jesus comes back to set things right...we who are saved need not fall from Grace by trying to stop what He has already ordained will happen - all we can do is praise Him for His love and carry His Word to those who have not been able to grasp it so far.

I don't think it is pure coincidence that the Bible says,

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

While both right and left have their anomalies, it seems to hold true...
