you: And what is his opinion?
God's word as it concerns time and Who He IS is revealed by His declared Name, I AM.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. - John 8:58
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground. – John 18:6
Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: - Isaiah 46:9-10
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. - Revelation 1:8
The Creator is the first cause and the final cause. His Name is I AM Alpha and Omega. He is the Creator ex nihilo.
Frankly, kosta50, I don’t care what you think but if you wish to post your denials, go right ahead.
My testimony is that God is not a hypothesis. He lives. His Name is I AM. I’ve known Him for a half century and counting.
By the way, “The Lord” is the translation of the Hebrew YHvH which means “He IS.”
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. – Psalms 91:4
You said "God's opinion" and I asked you what is his opinion. I thought it strange that someone like you (based on your previous posts) would make such a statement. That's all. There was no denial of any type in that question.
By the way, “The Lord” is the translation of the Hebrew YHvH which means “He IS.”
No, it means the Existence, just as the Greek equivalent ΟΩΝ. There is no gender or person in it.

First from AISH: Writing the Torah
Fascinating. Thx Thx.
This is the most important insight we must make.
Obama isn't the problem, but a symptom of it. He can help us focus, but we need a Congress of Constitutionalists serving for decades to restore the promise of the American Revolution.
The American Jacobins must be crushed and forever. We must regain our country, and the minds of our children.
The Left knows this in the way a predator stalks its prey looking for weakness. Conservatives cannot ever quit, ever.
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
The purpose of which is to make clear that the Treaty of Tripoli is between governments and not religious powers. That is America wants its ships and commerce left alone, period. Christianity or Islam have nothing to do with it. End of point.
That's the context and the only context the POTUS Adam's comment should be understood.
You are an excellent writing and clear thinker. Great history and very well presented.
Kosta is explicitly correct here. When America behaves as a theocracy is when it falters. See the current group of theocrats in the WH & Congress enforcing their beliefs on the nation.
That America was founded at all, most certainly came about because it was Christian and founded by Christians on Christian ideals.
Among all the nations of the world and across every religion in the world there is no other "America", no other bastion of liberty. Maybe Hong Kong comes close. That's proof enough that Christianity, along with the grace of God made the difference here.
For this to make sense what was life like on the farm? It was in many cases 24 hours of work. It was harsh and often ended in death, serious injury and chronic/permanent disability. Almost all the improvement in human longevity in the modern age has come about by the reduction in child mortality.
The conditions in northern industrial factories were better than life on the farm. Plus, northern industrialists started out with model communities that improved peoples lives.
As immigration picked up you had a surplus population. This lead to poorer working conditions and exploitation. It wasn't a trade off from slavery, but a natural function of supply and demand.
Very good and clarifying. The nature of American Government is against religious bigotry and toward respect for conscience.
That said virtue, objective virtue, is a necessary perquisite to liberty. The Christian model performs admirably compared to any other religion in the world.
America was not and could not be founded by Atheists, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, or etc.
Thanks. I learn ten times more than I give. You guys are terrific and really have great insights.
This planet has many Gods.. to choose from..
The Jewish one, the Roman catholic one, various other orthodox sects have their Gods too.. The Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Scientologists, JW's, Mormons, all have their Gods and more even....
They all have their Gods and Cargo Cults.. with appropriate cargoes..
Its all quite primitive.. really..
One would expect the atheists to appreciate Jesus and his efforts.. they don't..
For they have cargos of their own.. multifarious with variations..
For they are sheep too bleating with an accent..
Jesus was and is a genius for creating a self sorting mechanizm to which people self sort themselves into Cargo Cults..
Is God cool or WHAT?..

One thing I believe is certain; we will all stand before Him one day, alone, and come face to face with the reality that He is everything we suspected He might be and more; much more.
Thanks for the ping Civ!
Some sheep prefer pens, some prefer the open pasture (Psalms 23.)
Further, the Barbary Coast powers held the peculiar policy that any country not having a “peace” treaty with them were considered to be at war. Obtaining a peace treaty required an annual “gift” to the ruling poo-paas. The Barbary Coast states were running a shakedown racket. It was a method of extracting tribute or, failing a payment, an excuse to pursue piracy under the pretext of honorable warfare.
Moreover, it seems that the Tripoli treaty was initiated under the Washington Administration and was drawn up by Joel Barlow. Reportedly, the draft in possession of Tripoli did not contain the wording at issue. Nor can any such language be found in similar treaties with Algiers and Tunis. Nor is it entirely clear that Adams (or Washington) ever saw the language of the “peace” treaty version voted on by the Senate.
Thanks for your views and the support you offer.
Thanks. I didn’t know about Washington’s role in all that.
If you see other items like this or other debates like this I’d like you to ping me if you remember to.
Best regards,
