Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Ringo, Conservatives are the one who fought a war to
free slaves. Conservatives used the Constitution as
their guide. They were very much aware that slavery
was/is a moral sin. The Constitution clearly states that
"All men are created equal."
Even most Democrats in the Northern State supported
the right of Southerners to own slaves.
Slavery is a product of the Democratic Party (DP).
The DP is also the party that forced Native Americans
off their lands. They are the party that gave Smallpox
infected blankets to the Cherokee.
Hitler himself borrowed ideas from the Jacksonian
Democrats in regards to their taking land from the
NA when seeking to expand Germany's territory.
The DA is the party of lynchings; KKK; re-emergence
of the KKK; poll tax; and, breakup of the black family
unit.
President Roosevelt (D) signed executive order that
placed Japanese Americans in internment camps
during WW2.
The Republican Party was responsible for the passage
of women suffrage. Look it up.
In order for women to finally attain the right to vote, the
Republicans had to gain the majority in the Senate.
The majority of state legislatures to ratify the 19th
Amendment were controlled by Republicans.
The Democrats have not apologized for their atrocious
past. They pass it off as being committed by whites
and/or Republicans.
The DP has spent decades gaining control of the media
and educational systems. And, they have been very
successful at this.
Just like Hitler, the DP wants to control the future by
controlling the minds of our youth.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
LBJ and the Democrats are responsible for the breakup
of the black family. Black women could have all the kids
they wanted and the government would compensate
them. The only requirement was there not be a man
(husband, father) living in the home.
LBJ said at that time that this action would keep those
negroes voting Democrat for decades.
The number one predictor for poverty in a family is the
absence of the father.
Democrats claim to be the party for blacks, but evidence
doesn't bear this out.
Look at many of our major Democrat controlled cities.
I'm talking about cities that have been controlled by
Democrats for decades, without a Republican anywhere
in sight.
I'm talking about cities like Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland,
St. Louis, etc....
They resemble the old slave plantations.
What we see is broken families; run-down dilapidated
housing; and, a great deal of violence.
We also see blacks receiving stipends, which keeps
them dependent on the government (Democrats). But
they are never allowed to get ahead, which leads to
despair. These Democratic leaders made sure that
there is an absence of opportunity.
Trillions of dollars have allocated to these cities, but
they are worse off now than they were in the 60's.
The same thing can be said about Native Americans
living on reservations.
Democrat blame everything on racism. It serves their
purpose.
According to Democrats a white person who lives in
poverty is a result of his owns actions, or lack thereof.
A black who lives in poverty is always the result of
racism.
This craps comes froma political party that is too
ignorant to determine their own gender. And, from
a political party that fights for a doctor's right to
crush a helpless little baby's head as soon as it
is born.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Dwise 1, I am not enraged over anything. God commands
His follower to develop patience, self-discipline, and
self-control.
I have never said anything about Trump and prophecy.
I will say that under Trump our borders were much more
controlled than they are now. Gasoline cost half of what
it does now. And, countries that walk all over Biden did
not want to risk it with Trump.
Where were you when Democratic presidential candidates
Tried to outdo each other on who would get rid of fossil
fuel the quickest?
On the first day of Biden's presidency, he closed the
pipeline. It costs two to three times more to ship petroleum
by trucks than via the pipeline.
Also, he refused to renew oil leases; then he placed severe
restriction on those companies that still had leases. It
became unprofitable for them to drill.
When the price of petroleum began to skyrocket, he begged
Saudi Arabia to sell us more.
They laughed at him. Drill your own oil they said; you have
plenty.
Democrats say they want to get rid of fossil fuel to protect
the climate. But, get this: large oil tankers use 2000+ gallons
of fuel per hour. And, they take days to get here.
Biden didn't care. He merely wanted a way to lower prices
before the mid-term elections.
When the Saudis rejected his pleading, he starting releasing
our strategic reserves. This is theonly reason that prices
are coming down. He even sold a million barrels of our
SR to the Chinese.
If America ends up in a war we won't have any fuel to run
military weapons.
But, what does Biden care about military weapons. He
tucked his tail and ran dfrom Afghanistan, leaving these
terrorists with roughly 100 billion dollars of sophisticated
military weaponry.
God commands His followers to show respect to our
leaders, but sometimes it can be very difficult, especially
when they bring great harm to our nation.
Let me ask you something: do you think that it is okay
to slaughter our innocent little babies, even as they are
being born?
Do you think it is acceptable for teachers to talk to 4
and 5 years olds about gender. Their young minds are
very malleable. The DP believes it is acceptable to
give these little ones hormone therapy and puberty
blocking drugs.
But far worse is that doctors are allowed and even
encouraged to mutilate their little bodies.
Answer me, if you will. Do you think that this is
acceptable?
Texas and several border states are overwhelmed
by millions of illegal immigrants over the past
several years. If they complain they are called
racists or bigots.
When Democratic controlled cities receive just a
few hundreds of them they become furious.
Talk about hypocrites.
California wants to banish all fossil fueled car.
They want everyone to buy electric cars, even
though they are now experiencing power
outages.
The governor wants everyone to set summer
thermostats to 78 degrees. Also, he is asking
citizens to not use major appliances after
four p.m.
Many California residents are now using gas
powered generators to charge their car batteries.
Because of open border policies much of
California and several other Democratic
controlled states resemble third world countries.
These mentally challenged Democrats could not
care less about fentynal and other illegal drugs
entering through our porous border.
Democrats want to take away our guns, while
simultaneously getting rid of our police forces.
We will be left to the whims of the criminals.
Women are the most vulnerable among us. They
will increasingly become victims. I believe that
women should both purchase, practice, and
carry firearms.
I believe that all Democrats that want to outlaw
guns should have signs on their homes that
states "This is a gun free home."
Democrats claim that they want diversity, but not
when it comes to personal opinions. To them
everyone must become puppets and think how
Hollywood, the media, educational system, and
the Democrats demand we think.
It is becoming increasingly worse month after
month.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Tanyptery, I am happy to see that you agree there were racist,
Democratic _ _ _ holes. Byrd didn't switch. Thurmond did
not switch until the mid sixties.
There is much talk about reparations for blacks, regardless
of their ancestry.
If this comes to fruition, shouldn't Democrats be burdened
with an extra tax since they were the party of slavery.
If you are a Democrat let's see you apologize for the all
horrors of the Democratic Party.
The Democrats (especially the leaders) don't believe
that racism exists in modern America. They know it doesn't,
except for the media's loathing for white people, especially
against white males.
If you think that white privileges exists, or that systemic
racism exists, show us where.
The Democrats tell blacks that Republicans are the reason
that they lag behind. Without the black vote the DP would
cease to be. They would also fall into oblivion if the media
was fair and balanced.
The Docratic Party has always had victims and scapegoats.
That distinction now goes to whites.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Phat, you mention the last days. The Bible teaches that
we are in the last days. And I'm not just talking about
prophetic signs.
Gen 2:2-3 "And on the seventh day God ended His work
which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day
from all the work which He had made.
"And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that in it He had rested from all His work..."
The Word "sanctified" in this case means that it was
sat aside as/with a purpose. The purpose is both for
this present age and the age to come.
Notice carefully that no work (God allows for certain
exceptions, depending on one's motives) was to be
done on the seventh day Sabbath.
Also notice that all seven days of creation week are
exactly the same length of time, down to the last
The Apostle Peter makes an important statement in
2 Peter 3:8 "But beloved, be not ignorant of this one
thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as on day.
Can this verse have several meanings? Absolutely.
And, they can be true at the same time.
Read also Psalms 90:4.
Revelations 20:2 states that at the ti.e God set up His
Kingdom that Satan will then be bound for !thousand
Years.
Revelations 20: 4 says that those whom God called out
down through the ages would then be resurrected as
members of the God family. They will rule with Christ in
His Kingdom for one thousand years.
The rest of the dead (everyone others than those who
were elected to a position in God's Kingdom) remain
dead during this 1000 years.
Hebrews 4: 9 "There remains therefore a rest to the
people of God.
"Rest" is from 4520 Strong's. The word is Sabbath.
A correct wording of Hebrews 4:9 is "There remains
therefore a rest to the people of God.
While it is true that we don't know the day nor the
hour of Christ's return, we can know when it in nigh.
Hebrews 10:25 "Not forsaking thr assembling of
ourselves together,...but exhorting one another: and
so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."
If the seventh day Sabbath is a 1000 years long, then
so are the other six days. It would make absolutely no
sense to assume differently.
God's allowing humans 6000 years to try every form of
government that we can dream up. At the same time
Satan is still the God of this world/age.
At the end of these 6000 years God will have to intervene
or we will destroy ourselves completely.
He will then show us His way in His Kingdom.
He gave us a glimpse of what it would be like in His
Kingdom when he healed the sick; raised the dead;
and fed the hungry.
Those humans who are still alive when Christ sets up
His Kingdom will then receive God's Holy Spirit, and be
taught God's ways by the elect/firstfruit.
At the end of the 1000 years the elect, plus all those
who became members of the family of God during
that time will then teach those in the second
resurrection.
In the second resurrection the book of life will be opened
to them.
Remember this is a resurrection to judgement, not a
resurrection to sentencing. They will be judged from
that point forward. Christ's death for our sins buys
them this resurrection.
All who has ever lived from day one of creation will
then receive their opportunity to become a member
of the family of God.
God is no respecter of person. We will all receive
equal opportunity.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Ringo, I never said that the six days of creation were a
period of 1000 years each. The days of creations were
each 24 hours in length.
And, I have no idea who Bishop Ussher is.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Phat, the earth; sun; moon; and, the entirety of the
universe was already in existence before the creation
week in Genesis.
Gen 1:2 states that the earth was without form and
void.
Form is from the Hebrew word "tohuw", #8414 in
Strong's Concordance.
Tohuw means to lie waste. Look up the Word waste in
the dictionary. By no stretch of the imagination can
waste/tohuw be indicative of something just created.
The same goes for void-bohuw, # 922 Strong's. Bohuw
means "an undistinguishable ruin."
Nothing is created as an undistinguishable ruin. This
requires a destructive process, not a creative one.
Psalms 104:30 "Thou sendest forth thy Spirit,... and
thou renewest the face of the earth.
Just as in Gen 1:2, here the Spirit of God is renewing
the earth, which had become tohuw and bohuw.
Isaiah 45:18 "...God Himself that formed the earth and
made it; He created it not in vain (tohuw # 8414).
Job 38:4-7 states that the angels of God shouted for
joy when the earth was originally created.
There is more to support that Genesis is describing a
renewal and not an original creation, but no more
should be needed.
Even though this was a renewal, it in no way can be
used to support that any kind of physical life existed
before before Genesis 1:2.
Romans 5:12 states that death exists only because of
the sins of Adam. Animals cannot sin.
I want to finish replying to your question concerning
the sun, but I will have to post this in a short while. I
Need to look away from the screen for a short spell.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
The reason that Satan is the present God of this world
is because God had appointed him this position before
humans were ever created.
God is a Creator. And, Lucifer and perhaps a third of God's
angels were placed on earth to put the finishing touches
to it.
After being placed on earth Lucifer/Satan, because of his
pride and great beauty, rebelled.
Isaiah 14:14 "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will be like the most High."
Satan was on the earth. He wanted to ascend above the
clouds, and be like God.
Jesus says in Luke 10:18 "I beheld Satan as lightning fall
from heaven."
He was threw back down to earth, where God had placed
him.
Adam could have replaced Satan, but he too disobeyed
God. God knew that Adam would do what he did, but
that's not important here.
There is also a reason why humans must experience a
world ruled by Satan. Not important here.
In any event, the universal war that was fought between
Satan and his angels and those under the archangel
Michael was highly destructive to the present solar
system.
God renewed the damage caused to the earth, but look
at the other planets and moons in our solar system. They
still bear the scars of the titanic battle.
On day 1 of creation God removed the heavy debris from
earth's atmosphere, which permitted light (from the sun,
which was already in existence) to reach the surface.
However because of heavy cloud cover (much like that
on Venus today) the light would be translucent.
On day 4 God cleared up the atmosphere completely,
which allowed observance of the sun, stars, and moon
to be observable from earth.
This made it possible to observe months seasons, years,
etc....

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Phat, the days of creation could not be periods of
years.
It is true that yom can refer to a period of time other than
a 24 hour period. However, elsewhere in OT when yom
appears with evening or morning it always refers to a 24
hour period.
No open minded person is going to believe God created
grass, herbs, and/or fruit trees on day 3, but didn't make
the sun till 1000 years later on day 4.
And, who else in their right mind is going to believe that
the fruit trees would then have to wait another 1000
years utill hummingbirds and insects responsible for
pollination were created.
Some assert that since the words evening and morning
are not mentioned with the seventh day that the seventh
day is 1000 years long.
However, there was no need to mention evening and
morning since it was not a day of creation, but of rest.
The seventh day, like the rest, is numbered.
God set up a pattern for us to follow.
And, His pattern was not to work six days and rest
for a 1000 years.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Ringo, you need to understand the meaning of
switcheroo.
Tohuw's primary meaning is "to lie waste."
To lie waste does not prevent secondary interpretations;
such as, desert, worthless thing, or desolate.
Isaiah 45:18 states that the earth was not not created
tohuw.
Now you say that the earth was created as a desert,
worthless thing or desolate, a vacuity
But that directly contradicts Isaiah 45:18 that states
the earth was not created tohuw, or as you say: desert,
worthless thing, or desolate place.
So tohuw in Genesis 1:2 cannot mean what you hope
it means
If tohuw is not the condition that the earth was
created in, then it should be obvious to even the
dimmest among us that tohuw is the condition
earth became.
I don't rely on creationists stories, even though some
are well researched and thought out. My church has
taught me these truths.
You mentioned that Adam and Eve, who had never
experienced death, would not know what death
meant.
Sure they would. God told them.
And, no offense, but Paul, who wrote Romans, has
been known by a good many of people down
through the centuries.
If one of you two is lying, it sure ain't him.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Also Ringo, tell us what you think happened during
creation week.
Even if you are an atheist, you must have an opinion
of what you think Moses is stating.
Without having your own interpretation of what
happened on each particular day, you carry little
credibility when debating others.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Tanyptery, my kids were no more well off than many black
kids. But, they had a father at home who loved them dearly,
and who taught them the values that would help them
succeed in life.
Now they are doing well. And, both of them are deeply involved
in their kid's lives.
Not all fathers are good though. My father shot my mother
to death in front of me before turning the shotgun to his
own head.
I spent the next nine years of my life in an orphange. At the
age of 18 I was told to go, and I had no place to go.
When I first went to the orphanage (Paradise Friendly Home,
in Graves County, KY.) I was scared to death of the other,
larger kids. I would hide in an old 55 gallon barrel for hours
at a time. I did this for numerous days.
I was booted out of the army I couldn't adjust. I went through
much of my life drinking and doing drugs. I was in and out of
jail.
What I needed more than anything was a loving mother and
father. Especially a father to guide me and teach me how to
become a fine young man.
People won't believe this but I eventually I found the father
that I needed. It was and is the heavenly Father.
Those who say one cannot have a relationship with Him are
ignorant beyond words.
And, never assume that just because one is of a certain race
or ethnicity that they are mentally stronger or weaker than the
others.
The greatest predictor of living in povety is the absent of a
father in the home.
One other thing, difficult and trying times can lead to emotional
growth. It can also lead to a more compassionate individual.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Tanyptery, you made the assertion white privilege and

Tell us in all your infinite wisdom what privileges I have that
a black person doesn't have.

Re: What sort of Ist are you?
Ringo, many of those who are in prison were raised
without father's.
And just saying that I needed a father figure so
badly that I made one up is nothing more than a
cheap come-back.
Some guy that believes his ancestry consists of
amoeba, hyenas, and chimps has a lot of gall in
trying to convince others about life.
You brain came about by random chance, nothing
but a mutation. It can't be trusted.
Mine was created by God.
