bear,
I am not Ron Paul.
With your help my words are easier to read:
"Thus, liberty is dependent upon protecting life, and it is the jeopardizing of that same liberty which results in despotism causing the demise of life."
At least when you go back and read your own words you can understand them. I couldn't even understand my own words. Those unintelligible words were bear words, not Joe words.
And so after trying to understand my own words I ask: can I even make the claim made in that new sentence I offer?
I started listening to Bill Black Gresham's Dynmanic last night. I was not listening with my full attention as I was drifting off to sleep. I will try today to listen better. The information was interesting as well as too much to accept, though it is said to be true. I am not discounting that it is true, it is just so hard for me to grasp why some people can be so unfair, evil, and self-serving. As I stood in line behind a gal who was on WIC taking about 15 minutes trying to match all of her State Checks with her items and having the walmart clerk have to go back and exchange items, I felt dispise and pity mixed. Dispise because Jeff works multiple jobs to provide for his own family as well as hers. Pity because she is in the situation she is in. It is hard. People like us in the middle...lower middle...struggle to to make ends meet and work harder and extra to provide for ourselves without taking stolen handouts while those that Bill Black talks about make the rules that make it harder for us to work harder to provide for ourselves and also force us to provide for someone who is not provided for when they could easily do it themselves as they charge people 2 and 3 times interest of the cost of a home and mess around with gas prices at whim. This section of the book that I am working on matches Bill Black's words well. As a matter of fact, you have been telling me what Bill Black is saying without the gory details.
Why do we find agreement? Is the evidence not around us? One just has to have eyes to see and ears that will accept?
And now I turn to God's Word. The evidence is all around us:
Psalm 19:1 KJV The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork .
Romans 1:20 KJV
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen , being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Human kind is without excuse to know God. The evidence is all around us. The verse preceding that last offering -
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;1 Corinthians 3:11 KJV
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid , which is Jesus Christ.
Peter is not the cornerstone or the foundation of the church. The Lord Jesus Christ is. That was a bait and switch routine performed by counterfeiters. Why does anyone continue to reject the cornerstone which is The Lord Jesus Christ?
Why did the keep the Word of God locked away in a language the people could not read for themselves?
Why do the bankers make rules that excuse themselves as long as they are 5 years out from a felony conviction?
Why did Martha Stewart go to prison for insider trading while a 5 year from conviction felon was given headship?
Why does a man sit in the white house who calls himself Barack Obama when his birth name is Barry Soretoro? Why does he not have to provide a true birth certificate and my own husband had to pay hundreds of dollars to get a "real" birth certificate because the one he used all of his life was no longer good enough?
Because:
Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
They take pleasure in evil and those who do evil. And I suppose it is a great pleasure to do evil to those who are as lambs.
Jesus said this:
Matthew 10:16 KJV
Behold , I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. What is wisdom?
- Psalm 111:10 KJV The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
- Proverbs 1:7 KJV The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
- Proverbs 9:10 KJV The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Jesus was talking about the Old Testament. The Old Testament told of Him.
