Where is it written that government always has to lose money? To destroy a perfectly good gun is just stupid.

My daughter used to be in the evidence department at the sheriff's office and they kept evidence for years and then sold usable things for profit. Every once in a while she would have things like a Desert Eagle or a M1 Garand, or a M1A sitting in a corner. Even shotguns and deer rifles were sold for quite good money. Some were engraved and gold inlaid. Even something rusty with tape on the stock could bring $50 of pure profit. Very often she was in charge of burning truck loads of Marijuana after the trials and appeals.

Any reasonable person should know that it's the person with the gun that causes to crime, not the gun itself. I watched video's of England and Australia cutting up perfectly good guns and it made me sick to watch. Many of them super collectable. A large police department could generate millions of income after a couple of years of storage. When a liberal finds out a gun was sold back into the population, they go berserk thinking it will be used in a crime again. Truth is, All buyers have to pass a background check and use in a crime of the future is minimal. Certainly the same or less than a new purchase at a gun store.

..."Any clues on how to recognize him when he comes so the Jews are not deceived by a false Messiah?"...

Jesus will reveal Himself to the Jews when He returns. Zech 12:10-14. Then read Zech 14 complete.

He will reveal Himself for those that are still looking. It will happen after the church is Raptured on Feast of Trumpets but before Atonement 7 years later.

..."So you think that Esther and Easter as well as the timing of the two events are coincidence?"....

No, Read what I wrote again.

No, Nimrod and his wife had something to do with that. Ishtar was around thousands of years before Esther. Google will explain a lot if you dare to look.

Passover ALWAYS falls on Nisan 15. Jews observe the proper day each year, Easter is NOT Passover. A simple "Google" of Easter will explain where it comes from. Passover is declared by God in Leviticus 23 and Easter is man made.

This is just an example of what you can find out. Easter was originally a celebration of Ishtar, the Babylonian goddess of sex, fertility, war, and religiously-sanctioned prostitutes. There are other names included in "Easter" and some appear in Scripture as evil things. "Ishtar" is from Babylon and Babylon represents all the myth religions up to and including the Roman church.

As for the Catholic murders, read "A Woman Rides The Beast". There might be something on You Tube.

Another source might be Chuck Misler's teaching on Revelation.

A Million or more were killed in one day in Europe and the RC church celebrated. Adolf Hitler was born and raised as a Catholic I'm not sure how he ended up, but he started as a Catholic. Certainly his Jew hatred was amplified by the pope at that time.

Before calling others liars and slanderers, try looking things up and do a little studying.

To understand what God is doing you just need to read the Bible. Leviticus 23 explains the events that God had planned from the beginning. The first observation is celebrating the real Sabbath. The Sabbath is the last day of the week....Saturday. Sunday was changed by the Roman Catholic church in the 4th century by an antisemitic pope.Almost everybody will admit that Jesus was the Passover Lamb, but then make up a pagan day called Easter that never falls on Passover.

God made sure that He told us these are "His" days, not ours to shuffle around. Jesus died on Passover, was buried on Unleavened Bread, and was raised on "First Fruits".

The church was born on Pentecost after the resurrection of Yeshua.

The next Feast Day listed is "Trumpets". This is the day that believers will be "raptured". On some Trumpets in the future, the Last Trump will sound and God will take His people. This is the reason Christians need to Follow the Jews to learn that Trumpets is the only day that is called the "day that no one knows the day or hour it will come. Trumpets is the only Feast that starts with a New Moon. The rest start with a visible moon. The only time "the Last Trump"is blown is on Trumpets.

The next day listed is "Atonement", or Judgment Day.

The next day will be "Tabernacles" It was set up in Egypt for God to be with His people, or "God with us" in the "wilderness", which is down here on earth. This is when Jesus was born, NOT Christmas. Christmas was set up by the RCC again to celebrate Tammuz, Nimrod's son. Jews know these things but Christians have been confused by the RCC and not reading their Bibles.

The truth is there, but pastors just continue the "traditions of men" and celebrate pagan days instead of what God told His people. Tabernacles will be the time that God comes back to earth to live with His people for a thousand years and it was the day that Jesus came the first time to live with us.

The days we should be observing are the days God listed in Leviticus 23. God's Word tells us these days but Man has changed these days to follow pagan traditions.

One way to look at it is "WWJD"? Jesus observed all the so called "Jewish" Feasts Days. In Truth, these days belong to all believers. The First Church Jesus formed went to church on Saturday Sabbath and didn't observe "Easter" and "Christmas". All Christians observed these days for almost 400 years until they were threatened by the Pope with excommunication or death. I hope all Catholics would study their past and see what is wrong with their belief system. They have murdered more Believers than all others combined over the centuries and made up "rules" to hold their power. In my opinion, they are the Babylonian religion spoken of in Scripture.

I’ve had dealings with Elsie before. Just tell her before writing, there was oral tradition. Godly people knew what to do because they were told what and how to do things.

I don't have a "Westminster Confession" in my Bible. "Theologians" are refereed to as "Traditions of men" in my Bible.

Jesus said in red letters that He came to fulfill the Law, not change it or do away with it in Mat 5.

The Roman Catholic church banned Sabbath worship in the 4th century and changed it to a pagan day to worship the sun god. They banned Passover and the other Leviticus 23 Feasts because they were Antisemitic. Jesus kept every law and Feast listed in Scripture because He kept the Law. The first church that Jesus started Himself observed the laws and feasts as He did. For nearly 400 years it was so. A modern thing we ask today is "What would Jesus do?" People that claim Christ but don't keep His Commandments will hear from Him "Go away from Me, you workers of inequity, I never knew you". If you notice, Easter and Passover NEVER fall on the same day. Passover always falls on Nisan 15. Christmas is celebrating Tammuz, Nimrod's son. Nimrod is a type of Antichrist that started Babylon.

If you are looking for a mulligan of grace after you know what God requires, you aren't reading it right. God felt so strongly about the Sabbath that he included it as the 4th Commandment. Christians don't have 9 Commands out of 10. He never said don't commit adultery only if you feel like it. If you know what God said and don't do it, that is sin. When Jesus explained that if you have hate in your heart, you have already committed murder, or lust in your heart, you have committed adultery, He was explaining that you are still expected to follow the Commandments but also expected to understand the spiritual aspect of what they mean. Learning the Torah is a Spiritual teaching that is the foundation for the whole Bible and the foundation for understanding Jesus. An example would be a study of Exodus and learning the connection between the Tabernacle and Jesus. In Revelation we find the connection with the Tabernacle and Jesus.

Rev_21:3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

If you don't study the Old Testament, you will never understand the message of the New Testament. They are NOT different. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

It's 2am for me so I can't spend that much time on the bilge I just read.

The Old and New Testament is one book written by the Holy Spirit. The old Testament is still in effect. The Law that Jesus paid for was the Law of sin and death. Matthew 5:17-20 tells you the Law is still in effect (The 10 Commandments). Jesus said "John_14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.

Jesus didn't start a new religion. You still need the Old Testament. To learn who Israel is just read Gen 48 and learn Jacob (renamed "Israel") adopted 2 Gentile children of Joseph so they could receive an inheritance in the promised land from God. There are No, none, nada, covenants made with Gentiles, you must be adopted into God's family,... Israel to receive Heaven. You are adopted by the blessing of the "cross" of Jacob in Gen 48:16-22. Jesus said "Salvation is from the Jews". You must be adopted to receive an inheritance from God.

Generally, when you read about Ephraim in Scripture it's referring to the line of Jesus as Joseph was a type of Jesus. God married the Jews at Mt Sinai when the Jews told Moses "All this we will do" when Moses told them what God said on the tablets. Jesus will marry His church when they are raptured on some future Feast of Trumpets. In the Last Days we will be joined with the Jews as in Ezekiel 37:16-28.

Jesus was born a Jew, Lived as a Jew, followed the Leviticus 23 feast Days, Observed the Sabbath on Saturday, died as a Jew, and sits on His throne in Heaven as the Lion of Judah. He will come back to rescue His people and His land in Israel in the last days. Satan's plan has been from the beginning to kill God's people and take God's land. Knowing that, choose which side to be on,...Hamas or Israel. Israel is literally your adopted brothers if you are a Christian. Hamas is from Satan and is hell bound.

....."Do you have any proof or do you just make up things?"....

For those of you looking for proof, just look at past elections and rivals that have been poisoned and died. This is not his first rodeo.

Jesus became sin while on the cross. The snakes represent that.

Look to the cross and become healed.

"Israelite's certainly had a lot of problems with idol worship."

Everybody has problems with idol worship. Israel was just featured in the Bible as God's people to teach others what God required to please Him.

In Gen 48, Jacob, who was renamed "Israel", adopted 2 Gentile children from Joseph as his own sons in order to give them access to the Promised Land. Joseph was a type and shadow of Jesus who married an Egyptian woman and produced 2 Gentile children. Gentiles can only be adopted into Israel through the blessing of the cross to qualify for a home in the Promised Land. Jesus will marry a Gentile Bride that comes through the blessing of the cross in order to go to Heaven. As far as I know, there is no examples of a covenant made with a Gentile in Scripture. You must be adopted by "Israel" to qualify for property in the Kingdom. Israel is the example needed for study to follow the teachings God wants us to learn. God is not a respecter of persons. Everybody is judged on the same principles. Idol worship is a problem with all peoples. Look to the cross to be healed and see that Jesus became sin on the cross for our salvation.

Where can I watch the Carlson-Trump event??

Jesus was not was a Pharisee. He is KING! He wrote the Torah, every jot and tittle. The Pharisee's added to the Law and made up rules that weren't there. That is why He was so negative towards them.

Jesus came to pay for our sin, but just as importantly He came to start to show us How to convert from the Law to the Spirit of the Law. Just as He said if we looked at a woman with lust, we had already committed adultery. If you are proud that you haven't laid with a woman, we needed to know that is not the spirit of the Law He gave us. Jesus IS the Word and He is our Judge s to call Him a Pharisee is an insult.

As far as the question about women, in Genesis God explained that since Eve broke the Law, the man would rule over her. That includes church. I won't dwell on what Paul taught in the New Testament, but read 1 Timothy 2:11-15. Adam was not deceived and Eve was. For Adam to be a "type" of Christ, He showed that He would follow His bride into death to eat the forbidden fruit, but she wouldn't be allowed to rule over Him.

Women were given the burden of child bearing and submission to men for thousands of years before they thought they were equal to a man. I didn't set up the system,, but God did. I can't help if Rick Warren watches the View and follows their thinking. I've been watching The "Last Kingdom" for a few weeks now and it goes to prove that women, for thousands of years women have been beaten, raped, and generally badly treated until the 1960's. Men have been taught that they should treat women with respect as Jesus loves the church as His Bride. If you don't follow Jesus, your woman will show it.
