re: Fare the well, Friends - Parting thoughts

God speed, Delta. Have always enjoyed your words.

I've long realized that Christians are relatively constrained by Jesus' 'turn the cheek' Principle. It REALLY goes against the grain of the best of Humanity, who meet Evil fire...with fire. It is but for their sacrifice - Spirit and Flesh - that the Gospel is even allowed to exist. Likely though, for not much longer...as Evil is loosed, for the purpose of "separating the wheat from the tares".

Those who believe in the 'Second Coming'...know the Prophetic scenario therein. Total, calamitous, barbaric war amongst our kind; initiated in the name of 'peace' and 'love' and 'justice'. With both God and Mother Earth turning on Mankind...to the point that many "chew their tongues and curse God". The "fiery trial that shall try (perfect) your faith..."is the last hurdle. Humanity will learn much in this costly scenario. And the 'Phoenix' that arises will hopefully make all the pain worthwhile. It's all about the 'long game', and the (eternal) Soul. I (currently) believe in an Earthly, Millennial Kingdom; and suspect that High Tech may be our servant to that end.

I may join you soon, as my own survival scenario requires that I work hard to provide for those in my circle. Less time for talk in my future. I'll let conscience and the Good Lord's "hairs on your head are numbered" thing decide that.

See you in the next one, Brother.

Leftist regimes ALWAYS target Christians and many times it results in genocide.

More importantly, why do we deserve it? Look at our culture, it is disgusting and nothing but hedonism and excess. We are getting what we deserve.

I’ve got a good bit of land in the middle of nowhere so I’m just gonna try to enjoy life and not too invested again because it is over.

GOPe means 'establishment' Republicans. RINOs in effect; those who profess loyalty to the Constitutional Principle therein...but per their Policy...sell it out.

Its looking bleak right now but there are signs that the left is not a strong as they currently want to show to be.

All through the 2020 campaign I told everyone who would listen that something was not right. I did not have any inside information but I am good a picking up "signs" through reading and watching news from all sources. I do not follow any of the conspiracy sites or anything like that.

Yes, this election was stolen and that could only happen with the help of "republicans". But, what I am seeing now with the desperation to destroy Trump and everyone around him with just a week left in office, it shows the left is worried, very worried that there hand is not too strong.

I think they know that a stolen election can only buy them so much time because the majority of the people do not support them. The Democrats know the true vote and the true will of the people in the election and that is what is driving this current frenzy they are all in to destroy everything about Trump.

This is exactly how winners of stolen elections in 3rd world countries have operated after taking power. The problem for them in the US is that the people really do control the destiny of the country and not the government. The people provide the goods and services and the people consume the goods and services services, we control what survives and what does not.

The people can end social media tomorrow and cause all those billionaires to be bankrupt within a month. They know their empires are a house of cards that depends solely on your support. When the people no longer depend on the the media and social platforms for information they are cooked, done, finished ... they have lost all control.

To beat these current forces you have to take away their power. Information is King and unfortunately we have given them all the information they need through our use of smart phones and online platforms.

The path to beat this starts in your local communities. All those local elections no one has cared about for the last 50 years opened the door for money to buy elected power. They did not start at the federal level, they started where they was least resistance and easy wins.

Take back your school boards, then take back your city councils and Mayors. Do this and you have power to control the state politics. Take the state politics and you take back the federal government.

There is no quick overnight solution. Its going to take time to reverse the course through the same process they used to take our will.

After 10 years you couldn’t wait a few more days till the 20th?

It is not tough to see a POS. You are a garbage human being.

OP will be back.

I think you should stay here and post if it is something you enjoy doing. I believe the term for what you are doing here is a "perma-melt". You should take some solice in the fact that the people at the wheel are not competent enough at their jobs to successfully implement the horrors you fear.

The bible tells us as followers of Jesus, we will be persecuted. I will keep my faith.

I believe we are witnessing God's plan. He knew Trump would expose all the corruption in Washington. Now that we know, it is up to us as "We the People" to try to change the government. Trump couldn't do this on his own. It will not happen over night. We need to pressure our representatives and if that doesn't work, have someone to run against them that share our principles. We need a grass roots fundamental change to the way we want Washington to work. It won't be easy or quick, but if we stand together we can slowly make a difference without violence.
