We can gain comfort from knowing that if we are living the gospel honorably, then the Lord will protect us until our time has come. We need not fear, but trust in the Lord's timetable.

I probably has more to do with the parable of the reaping. The wicked will be gathered and burned. I think most people have it backward when it says "Once shall be taken and the other left" the wicked will be the ones taken.

You may be right. No warning for the wicked.

He quotes a lot of spurious revelations such as the white horse prophecy, something that has been debunked on many occasions by the leadership of the church.

Many of the needed events could happen over a very short amount of time. But, I would remind everyone that the Lord said he would come as a thief in the night. I believe the world will be going along as it always has up until the day, or few days of the second coming. Beware of putting limits on the Lord's timetable.

I would also suggest, Prophecy and Modern Times by Cleon Skousen. I would avoid, Prophecy: Key to the future by Duane Crowther.

Did I say, become a hermit? I can observe the circus without participating in it. I just feel that the nonsense of political vitriol is a waste of my time. I would rather spend the time on pursuits that I enjoy without becoming embroiled in online controversies that are designed to distract me from living my actual life.

Oh great, here come the Greeks again.

If you can do it without getting swept away, then enjoy. I get angry and it brings me down, so I am done with it, to an extent.

We can listen to the screaming voices or simply turn the other cheek and walk away. God is our Father and we should seek his counsel in all things.

I agree with you on involvement. What I am saying is that we, as a people spend an inordinate amount of time on every little detail of political blather. I am going to remain aware of what is going on, but I will spend way less time worrying about every bumbling word that comes from political mouths.

Is anyone else sick of the new religion of politics? Why do we always have to be inundated with political crap? I am frankly sick of it and I am going on a current events diet. If we don't fill our heads with this mush, I feel we can be a lot more at peace and relaxed. I plan to focus on the most important relationships I have, my wife, my children and God. I have had enough human worship. Inanna/Ishtar is not welcome in my home any longer. Say No to Inanna, say Yes to Jehovah!

Does anyone remember a text game like zork that dealt with a post nuclear war. I remember near the beginning having my character eat a can of food that was bulging and my character dying from food poisoning. I have been looking for this text game for years. It would have been around 1982.

This is why you don't drop acid before a BBQ party. LOL

all music is 'stolen' from music that came before. Also, Ed testified that he borrowed elements of a Van Morison song.

Ahhhhh, so cute. 🤣

I do think our destiny is to eventually spread out though. Here is a little video I put together a few years ago.

FTL is the only solution to this problem. Even if we could leave, however, I don't think we could ever find out way back, we would be lost, to wander the stars forever, never finding our way home again.

1- Planet 2- Star 3- Galaxy 4- Universe 5- Multi-verse 6- All creation, All Eternity I think God the Father is beyond a number 6, whatever that may be. He does not have a limit to what he controls. It is almost amusing to have embryonic beings such as us, trying to put any limits on God. It is like a paramecium saying they understand us.

Just take a look at what the majority of the internet is used for, narcissistic pleasures; we we can see that real, creative progress is being stagnated in a pool of carnality.

The first video explains a lot about what happened.

Maybe they underestimated how powerful this rocket actually ended up being. He did say that his main goal with this launch was getting it off the ground without destroying the tower. We will see what changes they make.

This is a testing facility, not a use facility. They do not need a trench because when it is complete they will launch from Florida.

I wonder if this happened to my son that the outpouring of sympathy and the Go Fund Me would reach almost 3 million. Just wondering, not criticizing the outpour.
