Why did God need to give us free will, or did He need to? Do we really have it?

Hey there...and I never knew that you were also into The Great Conspiracy
Dah! Where have I been...o_O I somehow missed that side of you. :)
i...used to be that guy, not really that guy any more. i support government now, with prayers and obedience. but that's it. no taxes bc no money, and that wraps it up Scripturally imo. That is what an Anarchist is

Nah! That was all George Sorus!
Soros was surely Trump's savior back in the 70s, when he was about to go down the pipe one day, and then alla sudden he was golden? Maybe not, dunno. It's in there somewhere, but well buried i'm sure. no one seems to remember lol, but i do, and i was like 10 at the time

Aug 31, 2015 - But like many of his Manhattan properties, Trump doesn't actually own them.
Trump’s dad bailed him out in 1970s to avoid bankruptcy

oh, ok nevermind

I did actually read your links...most links I just don't.

My daughter and son n law stayed in one right after Trump got in.
She said, value for money it is amazing. It cost no more than any other hotel of that quality ( my son in law flies and hotels all the time...so he knows, he's flown and hotelled for 30 yrs now with his job)
They said every light fixture, the brand names on the lamps, hairdryers, irons ..shampoo etc etc were top of the line...and he knows his hotels.
Very impressed.

No we are not talking of the person themselves, but what dwells within and has them chained.

And yes..Truthquest is indeed a she. :)

me neither. unless i am ignorant on the subject, in which case they serve as a handy witness. in 5 years or so i guess every word in post will auto-link or something, which i will detest, but it will be called an "improvement" anyway lol

Once a person has seen it face to face...there is never any doubt that we have a Enemy..and he is not a joker.
But praise God..we know who wins...every time.. :)
Exactly. Praise God. :)

I don't think Aspen remembers me or knows who I am although we might be in agreement on this. :)

Now I know why Trump won't release his tax report. He doesn't want people to know he's bankrupt.. :D

No the possessed are definitely not attractive. But they need prayers for deliverance.

It takes a lot more than prayers to get a demon out of someone.
The Catholic Church has a whole group of exorcists to do just that.
It's not easy. Everyone should read this stuff to see what we're up against. This stuff you see on the Word of Faith Network where "demons" are exorcised from persons, usually women, is just a joke.
