How To Live Under An Unqualified President by John Piper

We must be patient to see how the gas thing works out. He did the right thing.

I missed the reference, Don!

It was a similar situation in that hostages were released and came back home. My nephewā€™s pupils called them ā€œostriches.ā€

How many Jews did Hitler send to DR & CR?

Why werenā€™t any other countries willing to take them?

I assume HItler didnā€™t publicly offer to send them to other countries with the threat of ā€œor else iā€™ll kill themā€? So why was he appealing to other countries to take them? Why kill them when they can be put to use working or into the armed forces?

Don - NOW I get it!

Hitler was a Jew-Hater. He wanted NONE of them in Germany. But perhaps he had a semblance of concern for humanity, and so he tried to get other countries to take them. Some took a few, including U.S.A. But there remained around 6 million in Germany that no one would take. Thus he felt constrained to administer ā€œthe final solution.ā€

How did he address his message to the world? Was it ā€œPlease accept these Jews into your country because i am a Jew haterā€?

If the world knew he was going to exterminate them, wouldnā€™t the world have accepted them? So is the world really guilty for the Holocaust?

From Wikipediaā€™s ā€œĆ‰vian Conferenceā€ entry:

Hitler responded to the news of the conference by saying essentially that if the other nations would agree to take the Jews, he would help them leave:

I can only hope and expect that the other world, which has such deep sympathy for these criminals [Jews], will at least be generous enough to convert this sympathy into practical aid. We, on our part, are ready to put all these criminals at the disposal of these countries, for all I care, even on luxury ships.[3]

The conference was ultimately doomed, as aside from the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica, delegations from the 32 participating nations failed to come to any agreement about accepting the Jewish refugees fleeing the Third Reich.[4] The conference thus inadvertently proved to be a useful propaganda tool for the Nazis.[5]

Wow! Thanks, Paidion. As a futurist, I believe the coming Antichrist will also be anti-Semitic. When will The Church ever learn?

"Our struggle is NOT against flesh and blood,ā€ and ā€œThe weapons of our warfare are NOT carnal.ā€ Ephesians 6:12, 2 Corinthians 10:4.

NOT only that. But the Anti-Christ, will LOVE zombies. Of course, I try to introduce LESS CONTROVERSIAL, theological ideas. Like the Zombie Apocalypse, is the most probable - end times, tribulation model. :wink:

And hereā€™s a plot summary - from the prophesy given, in the YouTube video:

Flesh eating demons that will enter and take over the corpses of the heathen. This coming horror which will take place on this earth during the Great Tribulation, will result in these Zombies seeking to bite and eat the flesh of human beings. Those that are not saved and covered with the Blood of YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH at that time, and have received the Mark of the Beast and worship the Beast and his image, when they will be bitten these demons will enter them and take them over also, thus they will become Zombies themselves. YAHUSHUA speaks to HIS own in this Prophecy, that those that are HIS and covered with HIS Blood CANNOT be affected by this. HE speaks to HIS Children and speaks of the Only Weapon we have against these Zombies, and that is the Power of the Cross. The Cross of Calvary where YAHUSHUA shed HIS Innocent Precious Blood for our sins. YAHUSHUA tells us in this Prophecy, that the ones who will be on this earth to see this and to fight the kingdom of darkness, must take a wooden stick which stands symbolic for the Cross of Calvary, and anoint that wooden stick which represents the Anointing of the RUACH ha KODESH (Holy Spirit) and the Blood of YAHUSHUA, and to hit the Zombies with that anointed stick in their necks in the Name and Authority of YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH. This is the only way to stand against and destroy the flesh eating demons from the bottomless pit, through the Power in the Name and Blood of YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH at Calvaryā€™s Cross.

See How will you get the Mark of the Beast?

From Victor Davis Hanson: Why we fought the Korean War:
quote:
South Korea is a model global citizen and a strong ally of the U.S.ā€”and stands in sharp contrast to the communist regime in the North that has starved and murdered millions of its own people and caused untold mischief in the world community. Had it not been for U.S. intervention and support to the South, the current monstrous regime in Pyongyang would now rule all of Korea, ensuring its nuclear-armed dictatorship even greater power and resources.

The American effort to save South Korea also sent a message to both communist China and the Soviet Union that the free world, under U.S. leadership, would no longer tolerate communist military take-overs of free nations. The resulting deterrence policy helped to keep the communist world from attempting similar surprise attacks on Japan, Taiwan, and Western Europe.

Finally, the Korean War awakened the United States to the dangers of disarmament and isolationism and led to the bipartisan foreign policy of containment of global communism that in 1989 finally led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, and with it victory in the Cold War.

The Korean War was an incomplete American victory in its failure to liberate North Korea and unite the peninsula, but a victory nonetheless. And not just from a military perspective, but from a moral one as well. The reason 35,000 Americans died in Korea was to keep at least half the Korean people free. Korea did not have a single material resource that would have benefited America.

The Korean War merits more than a blank stare. It deserves to be remembered and studied ā€“ with pride. end quote

From Malcolm Pollack:
begin:
"According to a new report by the Senate Homeland Security Committee, the Obama administration, having repeatedly assured Congress that under the JCPOA Iran would have no access to U.S. financial markets for asset conversion, nevertheless clandestinely issued a license permitting Iran to do exactly that.

Apparently the effort failed because the banks themselves, showing more probity than Barack Obama and his apparatchiks, refused to allow it. (Reflect on that for a moment, readers.)

The report is here. Not a day goes by that I am not grateful for the miracle of November 8th, 2016."
end

Me tooā€¦

Well, I wouldnā€™t call it a ā€œmiracleā€. Itā€™s just the best choice, between 2 bad options. But Iā€™ll bet anything, in virtual play moneyā€¦if one of the zombies, from the Zombie Apocalypseā€¦had run on a third party ticket back then - they would have won.

Donā€™t be a party pooper. The man is getting a lot of good things done, as the quote above from Pollack shows. True he has not done EVERYTHING - yet.

Pence, thoughā€¦I dunno:
"WASHINGTON, DCā€”According to sources, Vice President Mike Pence snuck into the Capitol a few hours before President Trumpā€™s State of the Union address Tuesday and smeared Super Glue all over the Democratsā€™ seats so they would be stuck sitting down for the entire speech.

Hilarious!

ā€œHeā€™s been a prankster ever since he was a Congressman,ā€ said one Republican aide. ā€œPlastic wrap over the toilets, unscrewing the caps on the cafeteria salt shakersā€”his hijinks are legendary.ā€

Thanks to the VPā€™s wacky stunt, the unwitting Democrats were unable to stand and applaud for the duration of Trumpā€™s speech, as he talked about Americans paying less taxes, record low unemployment, businesses promising thousands of new jobs, and even when the assembly honored the parents of two girls killed by MS-13 gang members."

I suspect that is fake satireā€¦

Yes.

I am really sorry to have toyed with you - I forgot you cannot take a joke!
You are really wound up, dude.

Ahhā€¦that was unfair. I apologize. Totally.

But please remember that I have never ignored Trumpā€™s weaknesses. I do not worship the man, I just hope and pray that he can do some things to bring America back, or at least give it a direction, following the nation-wrecker Obama.

Great to hear that, Dave. I donā€™t think heā€™s on the Catholic radar, as a candidate for sainthood. As far as the legacy, of past presidents goā€¦letā€™s wait for the history books to decide. :wink:

Obviously Trump on a personal level leaves a lot to be desired but he is a Capitalist Evangelist & through his pro growth policies we now have more jobs available then unemployed workers.

Trump is the second coming incarnate! God bless Mā€™erica!
