I believe GOD by EVIDENCE, and thereby accept Jesus by FAITH. Do you has as much FAITH in our government? -- I hope not. o_O
NEVER! I am anti-government....but 100% a true patriot...I will always love my country and my fellow countrymen....but I don't trust government.

... Did you want me to tell you who murdered JFK? -- When he apparently age prevented him from keeping his thoughts in his skull, this former CIA Director was murdered; as was another apparently for the same circumstance, -- Courtland Gross --, including his wife, and their housekeeper who answered the door.

But people prefer blissful ignorance. :rolleyes:

We're in the Tribulation, and you're being "funny"? :oops:

Personally, it seems to me that GOD's Word is serious business, as is life. As we see History from the Babylonian Empire to today, we should recognize and anticipate GOD's explanations and arrivals to where we stand, and we're standing IN THE TRIBULATION.

But some prefer to eat and drink, and marry and be given in marriage, -- until the world collapses around them. So let them be deceived/deluded. But as to me and mine, I'm heeding Hosea 4:6 to divine the who, what, when, where, and how of calamity so that I can mitigate those consequences.


We all choose,

Lincoln was assassinated by a disgruntled citizen. Kennedy was assassinated by the Military Industrial Complex which Eisenhower warned of in his January 17th, 1961 speech, -- three days before Kennedy's Inauguration:

Military-Industrial Complex Speech Text
Military-Industrial Complex Speech Text
...
Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
...​

But some 2 years, 10 months later, Kennedy was assassinated so that corporations could manufacture boots, bullets, and bombs.

Christians don't kill anyone! We are merciful, even to those who don't deserve mercy!

Matthew 5:7
7 Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.

Should there be a death penalty Yes or No?

Yes I do and I believe it should be carried out sooner than it is. The DP should be a deterrent and it can't be a deterrent if it is left for years upon years. We are way to soft on criminals in the west, we need to be harder on them like bring back chain gangs

These words make me sad for a few reasons.
One is because u don't know anything about the inhumanity of prison life or the corrupt nature of the justice system.
Two is because there are people in prison for offences that are so minor they're not even criminal offences.
Three because that isn't something a Christian should wish for given that Christ forgives the repentant sinner.

YOU PEOPLE THAT DEMAND THE DEATH PENALTY ARE NOT CHILDREN OF CHRIST

IT MAKES U FEEL RIGHTEOUS TO POINT AND SAY "LOOK AT THE BAD GUY, I'M BETTER THAN HIM"

GOD FORGIVES BUT U GUYS THINK U ARE BETTER THAN GOD

Well Indonesia has the death penalty and it's not a safe country, with a high crime rate
