Not to change the subject but the F14 in the movie that fired the missle is a friend of mine. They even gave him a cameo sitting in the readyroom. Last I talked with him he had just taken a new assignment at Fightertown USA as the CO.

The only reason I see for political activity is because there is a God who is sovereign over the affairs of mankind. We are responsible for what we do, but it is God that is in control and works all things together for the good of those that love the Lord who have been called according to his purpose.

I would despair of this world if anything else were true, but the God who created the world did not wind up a clock and set it in motion. Not only is he transcendent, but he is imminent as well. He exists outside of the universe and has no need of us, but he deigns to be present and reveal himself to us. The creator God speaks to his creation. That is reason enough to marvel … motivation to do is simple in that context.

So, if a Black points out the Robert “KKK” Byrd was a member of the KKK, then the Black man is trying to make a case that Black people should be afraid of the scary white man?

I see many things wrong with what Obama plans. His plans are to rob one group of people to give bribes for votes to another group of people.

So with the caveat in place, “may be”, I put forward what I know will eventually happen — for all nations will end — some before the end of the age, others might last. There are many that today did not exist at the time of Jesus walking on the earth, there are many that existed then that are no more. It is certain that this country will also perish in that day.

“Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath! I send him against a godless nation, I dispatch him against a people who anger me, to seize loot and snatch plunder, and to trample them down like mud in the streets. But this is not what he intends, this is not what he has in mind; his purpose is to destroy, to put an end to many nations. ‘Are not my commanders all kings?’ he says. ‘Has not Calno fared like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad, and Samaria like Damascus? As my hand seized the kingdoms of the idols, kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria— shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?’” When the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes.

You have taken a train of logic off the track of scripture. You are attempting to think that God is limited in what he does like a man. You also are thinking that God thinks the way you might. Children too young to understand any better might think their father is being mean when he sees a splinter in the child’s foot and removes it … the child thinks he is just being mean and causing the child pain.

When you say “God did _____ in order to _____” you speak as if you were smart enough to know the mind of God. Foolish is the only word that comes to mind.

Job 38:1
Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said: “Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone— while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

Read the whole of the book of Job. Then note that God does what he does without consulting you or your thoughts of what you might think is the only logical reason for having something happen.

You say it is the logical conclusion. You have no way to understand what God thinks, and he isn’t in the habit of subjecting himself for questioning from even kings.
