Spare me the "hate card" it's boring.

Get educated, Canada has no president.
Canada has a prime minister.
Trudeau is long gone.
Go back to school.

In British government chambers, yesterday - Quote: "Trump is an international gangster".
------------------------------------

the Nobel peace price: The Norwegian Parliament appoints the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which selects the Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

The President of the United States in Davos:

Trump goes FULL scorched-earth on wind energy in Davos and the room knew it.

“China is smart.

They make windmills, sell ’em for a fortune, and sell ’em to the STUPID PEOPLE that buy them!”

Then he drops the kill shot: “Windmills all over Europe… and they are LOSERS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yup, Taken, your leader, the leader of the free world, that was smart. :-)

Lack of education.
It shows.
Nothing to be proud of.

Thanks for sharing you Pride yourself in knowing the technical term men secularly title their nations heads of state.
Personally, I don’t care.
Scripturally, they are all “kings”.

As for this statement, I can only say that all people have already been condemned, and it is impossible to add sin upon sin.

Or to put it another way, anyone may misunderstand the Bible and remain firmly convinced of their misunderstanding.

My true understanding of this statement is that it warns people to diligently and earnestly comprehend the words of the Bible.

Rather than living in delusions and straying from the genuine truth.

However, the ultimate interpreter and standard of truth is God.

Oh, my goodness, an evil world electing evil kings.
How much longer can one pretend this is normal?
Does Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and other ones like it ring a bell?
----------------------------------------------------------------


Scripture shows God raises up evil rulers to fulfill specific purposes, such as demonstrating his might.
Free will plays a central role, as humans choose leaders who may turn out corrupt.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
God gives time for repentance, which explains why he does not remove wicked leaders right away.

Have a nice day.

Thank you all for your replies! All good replies as well But, there is a part of my OP that was not replied to:

"and most of all, do you think this pertains only to un-belief of the gospel truth, or truth in general?"

You see, I have a couple of neighbors in their later 70's who do not want to "know the truth" one by admission saying to me "I don't WANT to believe it". It is becoming increasingly difficult to speak to folks about the biblical truths. Not to mention, the lies of this world that continue to keep them in fear and sticking their heads in the sand...like a child plugging their ears and going lalalalala.

So, truth is truth to me weather it be about the Lord's truth or anything even outside of the written Word of God.
All liars have their place in hell saith the Word of God!

Thank you,
Enjoy your day!
Hi Nancy,
Just time to get up to here.
It pertains to UNBELIEF of the gospel
This is THE TRUTH that many will not accept and so be lost forever.

Other than this which is specifically to your question...
I'd reread and go with post no. 3.
The reply is biblical and to the point...
as are all his posts.

Having a good day. Getting good news Reports of my God Loving President Trump staying hot on the trail of law-breakers.

Have a nice evening.

Glory to God,

You want me to post the video, or are you already in denial?

I’m not Trumps Physician.

Trumps “appointed” Presidential Physician
(Who takes over from Trumps Primary care Physician during his Presidency)
IS:
Capt. Sean Barbabella, DO: The current Physician to the President, appointed in March 2025.

Dr. Barbabella routinely monitors Trumps Care and has reported that Trump is in "exceptional health" following a recent checkup, noting his excellent cardiac age and performance on cognitive tests.

Are you in denial?

Lol. I didn't think you are physician.

What you think and amuses you doesn’t matter.
:rolleyes:
I do have a degree in medicine, worked with Physicians, have family members who are Physicians, have ready Access to Medicinal, Medical Books and Journals and like Dozens of Bibles And Law books I own, And have Access to, I Actually Read and Study them.

End of day, End of This World, Best for an Individual TO Know their Standing IN This World and Beyond This World…and WHY.

Glory to God,

Don't they realize that Satan comes on a platform of "peace"?? They are blind as bats or they are also hateful, filthy people just like him. Wow...they don't even bat an eye when Jews are actually calling him their Messiah, and PRINCE OF PEACE is okay?!! The FIRST white horse rider is already loose from what I see. And it is NOT Christ.

Dozens! Wow,
I am impressed,
I always thought a Christian only needs ONE bible.

I guess I was wrong.
The more the better. :-)

Maybe you should give some of your Bibles away to people who need one.
The ICE agents might want to read one.

I just saw on the news ICE can now enter a home, kick in a door, without permission.
Starts to look like NAZI Germany.

Enjoy your day reading dozens of Bibles and Medical Reports.

That is the man of sins "peace" for you all. Killing innocents, stealing countries, Greenland? Yeah, why now? And if they were so worried that Russia or China would "take" Greenland if we dont, why have we never heard of such a thing?? We have no friends left except for podunk small countries, because "we don't need" them. We can just go it alone! We have made enemies of our ally's and we the people (common sense ones, anyway) have ZERO say. If we DARE to protest, or disagree we get Trumps FECES splashed on us and accused of being baby killers, gay lovers (OH SO TIRED of these same ole, same ole WEDGE ISSUES...that's why those two things are still legal...cannot lose our pet issues!) Constant distractions to take our eyes off of the real issues. Keep believing the LIE folks. Keep aligning yourself with this man...let's call our (once friends) the UK as "losers" and TONS more of his constant name calling. HE DOES NOT LIKE YOU FOLKS!

I hope you are aware that liars don't enter the kingdom.
I guess you are a brain surgeon.

I guess you are Unaware, they (all humans) know “NOT” All things, and by default Lie.

I guess you are Unaware, All Heartful “Forgiven” Believers…individually …(per their individual condition)…
Have Been, Are and Shall be Saved.

If you are still stuck with only a Bible geared For a Toddler, a Young Student, a Modern Version of Only the NT.
Your Lack of Knowledge “IS” understandable.

I have Not read German Laws as they were during Hitler’s Reign…”IF” German Law Required “reasonable Cause” to forcefully enter a persons home “domiciled” IN Germany.

I am Familiar with US Law, that Requires Probable Cause to Forcefully enter a persons home.

I think The Waco Siege using Military Tanks, Fire, Against the home of American, men, women and children…Under the Clinton Administration … was beyond reason.

2Thess 2:9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,
2Thess 2:10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
2Thess 2:11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false,
2Thess 2:12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

I think the orange are the ones Paul talks about.
Hello ProDeo, and how are you all? We are well. We agree.

Love, Walter and Debbie
