That is not really very difficult. Type "CNN and the Mueller witch hunt" into Google and see that not a single CNN reporter or commentator has honestly admitted that the Mueller witch hunt is indeed a witch hunt designed to take down Trump by fair means or foul.

Honest reporting would have pointed this out to the public a long time ago, and the media would have called for an end to this foolishness, and insisted that Obama and Hillary be thoroughly investigated instead. However, because the media are already bought and paid for by the Left-Liberals and Hillary Clinton and George Soros cash, they are instead pushing the idea that the Mueller witch hunt has some legitimacy, while attacking Trump daily and needlessly.
Still no personal knowledge for me. I probably don't know any reporters personally so how could I judge fairly what any of them say? I might compare their reports and decide that someone is lying, but I guess I already believed that to be the case anyway. Is not every man a liar? I guess it still comes back to Pilate's question: "What is truth?" Pilate knew as God knows, and perhaps as we know that men are often quite untrustworthy. They are liars for whatever reasons. Our hope, for those of us who have hope, lies not in Obama or Hillary or Trump, but in God.

Isn't that the goal to find truth? Then if we are seeking truth there must be lies. If I say I do not lie that makes me a liar. Good and bad, truth and lies, right and wrong, failure and success, mistakes and accuracy it is a contrasting world we live and learn in. If somebody was perfect they wouldn't be here. Thank you Jesus for being perfect for me.

Be perfect as I am perfect tho; so nope
God wants to remind you that He sees you as complete in Christ… perfect!
Not only has He decided to no longer look at your mistakes, but they have simply…disappeared (Colossians 2:14)! So, even if He wanted to look for them, He wouldn’t find them. (Hebrews 10:17)
Your sins are not just hidden, buried, beneath a white garment. No! In Christ, you are truly made perfect.
The Bible says that by “one offering He has perfected forever and completely cleansed those who are being sanctified [bringing each believer to spiritual completion and maturity].” (Hebrews 10:14)
Perfect in Him…forever…
Since the day you accepted Jesus, and for all eternity, you are perfect.
And this work has nothing to do with your abilities, talents, or good works… No, it’s simply that Jesus took all your sins upon Himself on the cross and gave you His perfection, His garment without spot or blemish, in return.
What an overflow of thanksgiving can now spring forth from your mouth! You and I are perfect, even in our human imperfection, because Jesus gave us His perfection. Glory to God!
Thank you Jesus for being perfect for me ...

"zipzaddle, post: 431845, member: 7923"]God wants to remind you that He sees you as complete in Christ… perfect!

So God only "sees us" as a new creation?

God sees us just as we really are. The only people that can be fooled as to our true condition...is ourselves.

We are cleansed at regeneration...but we get dirty again because we are babes. We meed to learn to conduct ourselves in faith and faithfulness into a mature man. But we are not perfected from the beginning. We have to work out our salvation..if perhaps we would save our souls entirely.

We enter into His perfection only as we surrender our lives in order to take on His. This is by no means automatic. The kingdom of God costs everything to take hold of. That is the nature of a spiritual life. You can't rely on the strength of the flesh AND be spiritual in Christ at the same time.

Of course as Jesus said himself, He is the Truth. That doesn't however answer all of the questions, for who of us knows Jesus so well in all things? That we are here as followers of Him, as Christians in that sense, means we know the truth, but we are growing, or should be, toward that truth. We only see "as through a glass darkly" so how clear is the truth to us, the truth which Jesus is?

As to the lying, we all are liars in our beliefs and/or doctrines to the extent that any of those held beliefs/doctrines are in error. So then as we move toward Him and we are corrected as we yield ourselves continuously to the Holy Spirit, the lies in us diminish as the Truth increases:

"He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30

imo you're going to find out it doesn't work like that.
Forgiveness will not save you, believe it or not. Seems like it would though, huh?
Forgiveness does not lead to salvation, as strange as that seems

But, that just glorifies the Lord...the power of His saving grace!
Habakkuk "vision" was pre-cross and correct for his time....everything Episkopos said was about how our Father sees I NOW...in Christ!!
All Glory to The Lord!!

NSP - Copy and Paster - Make my case? I am on trial and you are the judge. Just put me in jail and I will serve my time.
? you are not on trial here, this is not about you, is it?
I guess lots of ppl hold your pov, too, i have no objection if you copy/paste an answer that appeals to you
You have suggested an opinion, and i am just asking for your basis for it?
or i mean are you capitulating and i am just reading you wrong?

as to the first part, there is no relevant return for "NSP - Copy and Paster" either, that i can see anyway; doesn't mean i'm not looking right at it i guess lol. So i have to apologize there, if there is a point i am supposed to be getting

Is your opinion now Scripture is now "suggested opinion"?
inadequate interpretations of it would be i guess; surely i hold a few myself
You don't remember you are arguing about post which includes Scripture?
that illuminates "_______ speaks volumes" more likely than the HS literally conversing with an individual, yes
I didn't copied and pasted an answer you did.
i did? recently? i'll go review, although i'm still not sure what your objection might be to that even if i did, sorry.
I plead no contest on the grounds of insanity.
? all this to avoid the point or something? why?
The forgiver of sins.
and the point there is?
If i can't forgive you, how can i possibly be forgiven?
of course there is really nothing consequential to forgive here, hopefully that is obvious, so i had hoped to reinforce the point to you that way;

forgiveness does not lead to salvation.
All are forgiven. Christ gave His life for the sins of the whole world.
Adam and Eve hid not bc God was going to be angry, or require some sacrifice for their sin,
but bc they could not stand in the presence of God w/o being aware of their guilt, w/o losing "self"-esteem iow
imo

God didn't seem to have any probs with Adam and Eve after they sinned, did He?
wadr your Habakkuk Quote is from a "complaint," not really a teaching;
iow he is expressing a point of view, not truth
imo

That's a good point. The politicians and military brass of the USA have generally failed to understand the difference between winnable and unwinnable wars, or necessary wars and unnecessary wars. And as a result thousands of men have died unnecessarily.

Take the example of Afghanistan. Alexander, the British, and the Russians were all driven out of this country successively after trying to conquer it, but the foolish American government imagined they could win a war in this desolate land, where warfare is historically a family business (along with the drug trade). And to this day, there are American soldiers dying there needlessly since that war will never be won.

Radical Islam has been at war with the USA and the Western world for about 50 years, but almost no one in government has recognized this and understood that Jihadists see themselves as "holy warriors". Therefore they must NOT be tried under the criminal justice system at all. As a result the terrorists in New Mexico are out on bail when they should be in Gitmo, and guys like Omar Khadr are awarded millions for their jihadist activities because they used the civilian justice system to their advantage.
Australian Major Bernard Gaynor has a blog that points all this out about just how the pathetic the top command of the military and Government are. He says they are that blind they have no idea about war at all in depth, they are just fighting battles. sadly they do not know the enemy at all and that they are totally ignorant of the foundations of who or what they are truly dealing with, we can not win against something you do not understand.
Major Bernard Gaynor was a intelligence officer and can speak and read Arabic and he is a Catholic who was cunningly kicked out of the army for pointing out the rule book to Satanic superiors, and he went to court and won his case that he was wrong fully kicked out. problem is that such superiors were only handed there positions because they were government Satanist piss boys and part of a sodomite ring who were put into such positions, the whole Military is now a joke totally controlled by Political Correctness Nazis who require de gender language, it's a crime to call a man a man or a woman a woman, or to question Islam is a capital sin and will get you kicked out but you can bag Christians all you want and they don't want Christians at all but they desperately want Islamic people to join but if you are a Australian born man you have no hope of getting in nowadays, they claim that there is to many of them and want a 50 50 women and men and of all nationality's.
It's all a Socialist NWO program where we don't have borders and some prick like Hitler will run the whole show of the world were everyone has to submit, just like Islam does to Satan and then they will just turn on anyone who questions or opposes them, you will become just like in Nazi Germany an enemy of the State.
Freedom of speech is under attack by such degenerates 24/7 and we are now thankfully seeing our Prime Minister get booted out of the Party office, he is a satanic dog that bought his way into office and is a Socialist bastard that has been undermining the conservatives within the party and has changed the Party into something other than what the Party ever represented and loyal people to that Party for years have been leaving in droves, but the media are lying and ranting about all types of nonsense but the fundamental fact is that this Turncoat has tried to destroy the Party for years, he is a very wealthy grub that got his money from ripping off people and not to mention that he first wanted to join the opposition Party when he first got into politics, he is just a NWO stooge looking after all the fat cats that want to enslave the people.
