  1. We are seeing the same thing in Washington state. Before it was legalized, one coworker said "Marijuana is not that much worse than alcohol." Do you see the life destroying effects of alcohol? I couldn't believe he said that considering that another coworker was killed a year earlier by an alcohol impaired driver. He refused to see the connection. I believe that right there is our problem as humans. We believe what we want to believe regardless of the truth. (And we all claim that we see clearly, right?)
  2. Sorry to resurrect this discussion from 9 months ago. As I pondered on the idea of three unequal parts, I asked myself if and how the scriptures describe the people of the earth in two parts. The answer is yes and the two groups are described in various ways. Perhaps most commonly they are referred to as the House of Israel and the Gentiles. To be clear, God loves all his children. Jesus emphasized that his mission was to the House of Israel only (sometimes aka the Jews, though that term meant could be more or less restrictive based on context). Nevertheless, when the Gentile woman pressed him (dogs eat the scraps that fall) he accepted her and blessed her for her faith. In Acts 11, Peter was commanded by Jesus to open the gifts of salvation to the Gentiles. My understanding which takes into account both the justice and mercy of God is that the House of Israel consists of those who were most faithful during the war described in John's Revelation; the Gentiles are those who supported Father and His Annointed but were not necessarily as strong. Lucifer and his servants were cast out. Now we invite all to come unto Christ, but we mostly expect the Israelites to heed the call. And in this age, most of us are of mixed blood physically, so it is hard to tell our spiritual heritage (other than we are children of God who chose to follow Him at least once already.) -cheers
