Jesus Christ would condemn the sinful teachings of the LGBTQ agenda.

And yet in his time on earth he never spoke out against them at all.

The bar for the military is "manifestly illegal." If Trump's orders were "manifestly illegal" these matters would not be in appellate court. The courts are still trying to figure out if they are "manifestly illegal."

Well, the UCMJ says this:
(c) Lawfulness. A general order or regulation is lawful unless it is contrary to the Constitution, the laws of the United States, or lawful superior orders or for some other reason is beyond the authority ofthe official issuing it. See the discussion of lawful-
ness in paragraph 14c(2)(a).

Now, we all know what is contrary to the laws of the United States and for the most part, the Constitution. Some ambiguity may arise as to how much authority that Congress has given to the President in so called National Emergencies. But, it is the military's duty to disobey unlawful orders. We will have some clarity when SCOTUS rules on the case on the docket about using the military in Chicago.

RDKirk said:
And which the military would have, if any had been illegal orders.

The Navy has more information than the public has but it is their responsibility to report to Congress, if Congress calls for it, and which Congress says nothing has been provided to justify the bombing of boats in International waters.

Nothing in our laws allows for the murder or killing of alleged drug traffickers unless being fired upon.

The question is ..... what would Jesus Christ of Nazareth do?

Here is helpful hint:

"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."

Jesus would tell them to repent and believe.

A Devil's Advocate said:
The goal of Christianity is to know God. This is something you could spend ten lifetimes in pursuit of and still have barely scratched the surface of everything there is to know about God.

It amazes me the amount of wasted time and energy people put towards this goal of sinning less and ultimately, not sinning at all. Does anyone read the bible for what it actually says, or does everyone read it for what they've been told it says?

If I was to ask you; do you identify as your sinful nature, or do you identify as the good you want to do but struggle with a sinful nature, which would best describe you? Most likely it will be the later of the two. You are the good you want to do but struggle with a sinful nature. Which would align you with what Paul talked about in Rom 7:14-20.
Now say by the power of grey skull, I snap my fingers and suddenly you no longer have a sinful nature. Will you continue to do the evil you do not want to do, or will you only do the good you so desire to do? Obviously, the good you desire to do is all that you are going to do.
Okay then, in your pursuit to stop sinning, what is it you are trying so hard to improve on? The good you already desire to do, or the sinful nature?

The good you desire to do clearly needs no improvement since it already desires to do good. The sinful nature, on the other hand, cannot be improved on. Scripture is vividly clear on this. If it could be improved on, then Paul would not have wrote what he wrote in Rom 7, and the Gospel wouldn't have been necessary.

Before you try and tell me Paul is speaking of before he was saved... this is the real world, not some fantasy. At what point, before you were saved, did you ever struggle between doing the good that God desires you to do and doing evil? The truth is you didn't. You simply did whatever felt good to you in the moment.

Before salvation we are spiritually dead, separated from God. Without spiritual life, there is no desire to do the will of God. Without spiritual life, the desires of the flesh are what rules us. We have no desire, what so ever, to do the will of God. After receiving new life (spiritual life), that is when we are suddenly presented with a dilemma. To now do the will of God.
This new dilemma is the very struggle Paul talks about. And the reason Paul talks about it is to make it clear to his readers that the very idea that we can stop sinning is ridiculous. He states very clearly that sin resides in the flesh. Unless you live in the fantasy world I mentioned earlier, until the day you die, you will remain in the flesh. The flesh is corrupt as a result of sin. And until our corrupted flesh is destroyed, and we are given new non corrupted bodies, this struggle will remain.

The time and energy put towards the goal of sinning less and ultimately not sinning at all, is misplaced, misleading, and ultimately leads us back into the bondage of sin. That time and energy should be put towards getting to know more of God. The logic is simple, if you are doing what you are supposed to be doing, you wont be doing what you aren't to be doing. The more of God you know, the more of God is revealed through you, and naturally, the less you will sin. No effort, no fuss, no worries.

Knowing God and sinning less go hand in hand; the two being inseparable, in fact. That’s why John takes great pains in his letters to ensure we understand that to the extent that we sin, we don’t know God.

JPPT1974's Black Friday Weekend 2025:
Christ is a jealous God and
When we put Him in the backburner
He knows as we do know
It is not an excuse and that
Things go awry but when we
Place Christ in our lives all the time
Every single time He will lead us
In the thing that is conceived and
Created by Him known as life
Always put Him first and foremost 24/7!!

JPPT1974's Thanksgiving Thoughts 2025:
Remember we need to grow in the
Lord and in the being in the right
Direction that Christ wants us to
Be in our relationship as He is
Not a Sunday God only but
A 24/7 Lord Jesus as in strengthen
And healed us from sin and wants
Us to be spending eternity with Him
When we leave this world.

“For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God. But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, ‘Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.’” (1 Corinthians 1:26-31 NASB1995)

I am presently recovering from a medical procedure I had done at a hospital yesterday which they term a bronchoscopy (a biopsy). They sent a tube of some kind with a robotic camera down my throat into my lung to take pictures and samples of a lung mass (or nodule) inside my lung which they suspect is either cancerous or has an infection of some kind. I should get the results of this in about 3 days, I think. Right now I am a little bit out of it, I have a slight headache, and I am doctoring a sore throat, but progress is being made in the right direction, all glory, praise, and honor to God alone.

But my calling of God, which is to write down what he teaches me each day from my times with him in his word, and to then place these writings on the internet, is not contingent on me being in good health and not having a headache or any other physical abnormality. If it was, Satan would certainly use that against me to dishearten and to discourage me and to keep me from obeying the Lord. For he preys on our weaknesses in hopes that he can take us down and out so that we will retreat and give into the flesh. And so we must put our faith in the Lord to lead and guide us in these times.

For God did not call us to his service because we are in pristine condition. Now we must be followers of Christ for whom obedience to God and dying to sin is our practice, by the grace of God. But God’s calling upon our lives is not dependent on us having lots of book smarts, or us being popular among the people, or us even being well thought of by many. We may be among the rejected, the forgotten, the forsaken, the ignored, the castaways, and not someone who other humans would have thought of or chosen at all. But God chose us, because then he is the one to get the glory, and not us.

For it is by the doing of God that any of us are of faith in Jesus Christ living holy lives, pleasing to God, in death to sin, and in walks of obedience to his commands. Even the faith to believe in Jesus is not of our own doing; not of the will of the flesh of humankind. But the faith to believe in Jesus comes from God, and it is gifted to us by God, and it is persuaded of God as to his holiness and righteousness, and of our sinfulness, and of God’s requirement that we be crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer as slaves to sin, but as Christ’s servants.

Gospel:[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

So, we get no credit for any of it! God gets all the credit and all the glory and all the praise. And that’s the way it should be. And so when God calls you to salvation from sin, by his grace, and to living for him, in ways which are pleasing to him, and then he calls you to his service, follow him wherever he leads you. And he will lead you to holy living and to putting sin to death, by the Spirit. But don’t ignore him just because you think you are not gifted in a particular way, for he can gift you in ways you may never have imagined. He definitely has done that with me in miraculous ways.

Most all the things he has been having me do these past 21 years I had never done before. Yes, I had taught the Scriptures for many years, but not on the internet, and not in writing. I had never posted daily devotions on the internet prior to this calling. I had written a few poems early on in my life, but not like the ones he gives me to write, and never this many. Yes, I majored in music in college, and I did write a tune to one of my poems, but I never wrote songs before like these and then posted them on the internet. I had never done video talks before, or written memes, or books, etc.

So if you have never done something before, and it is an area where you believe you lack giftedness, if God calls you, do not refuse him. For he is able to do far beyond any of us can imagine. He can do the impossible. Like when I started college the first time I was reading on a 4th grade level. I got up to 7th grade level, still with a reading comprehension disability. And then God called me to read all kinds of articles on history, science, politics and all sorts of news articles about what was going on in the world, things I would never have touched before, but he gave me understanding of them.

So, just saying here that we should not refuse God because we think we are not qualified for the task. Yes, we must be surrendered to our Lord, obeying his commands, living holy lives, pleasing to him, and he is the one who empowers us to do that, too. But we should not refuse the callings of God on our lives because we think we are not up to the task or because we never did something before. For he can give us all we need to do what he has called us to do, and in miraculous ways we would never have imagined. Then, all the honor, praise, and glory go to God, and not to our human flesh.

THE BUDAPEST MEMORANDUM (1994)- the agreement that should have prevented the Ukraine/Russia conflict!

1) With the demise of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1991, Ukraine and the other 14 Republics would emerge as independent sovereign states!

2) Four of those former 15 republics, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and the Russian Federation all inherited nuclear stockpiles from the now defunct USSR - upon obtaining the status of a new nation in 1991, Ukraine also found itself to be the unwitting custodian of the world's 3rd largest stockpile of nuclear weapons!

3) The United States, United Kingdom and the Russian Federation proposed that Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine relinquish control of their aging nuclear weapons from the Soviet era in exchange for security guarantees - America agreed to provide political and economic support but would not commit to military intervention!

4) Some Ukrainians opposed handing over these nuclear weapons - given their nation's "tortured" relationship in the past with the former USSR, they argued that these stockpiles would provide the only viable deterrent to prevent aggression along the 1226 miles of joint international border that it shared with the Russian Federation!

5) The majority, however, would view the exchange of nuclear weapons for border security as their best option - Ukraine subsequently joined Belarus and Kazakhstan with all 3 former republics signing the Budapest Memorandum (1994) with the nuclear nations of the USA, UK and Russian Federation serving as guarantors!

6) Fast forward 20 years and in 2014 the Russian Federation reneges on the terms of Budapest Memorandum agreements by occupying the Crimean Peninsula and then promoting civilian unrest in Ukraine's eastern provinces west of the Russian border - perhaps with the added assistance of Putin's military dressed as Ukrainian civilians!

7) In 2022, the Russian Federation directed its military to invade all of Ukraine - after occupying approximately 20% of that nation's territory that included 3 to 4 million inhabitants, the war then degenerated into a standoff, a 21st C version of trench warfare from WW1!

8) Within this context, its paifully obvious that Trump is totally committed to imposing a peace treaty on Ukraine, any peace treaty - given that Russia's Putin has proven virtually impossible to manipulate, the pressure from the White House will be placed on Zelensky to provide this American President with an agreement that will in turn fuel his personal campaign to lobby for his real priority - the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize!

9) President Trump and his Administration appear oblivious to the fact that as a signatory to the Budapest Memorandum, with its exchange of nuclear stockpiles for preserving border security - why should Ukraine which is already in total compliance with the terms of the Memorandum, now be expected to provide additional concessions to the one member that has actually violated it repeatedly?

10) While not providing direct military intervention, America's first priority should be providing Ukraine with all the considerable political, economic and military support at its disposal that would pressure Putin to return to Ukraine's original 1991 borders - which were supposedly already guaranteed under the terms of the Memorandum!

11) Given that Putin already has a history of not honoring past signed agreements, why should the Ukraine allow itself to be pressured by the Trump Administration's into accepting a bad peace agreement, only to find itself in a similar position at some later date - once again negotiating with an adversary that can't be trusted and with supposed allies that continue not to hold the Russian Federation accountable for its actions!

12) With the continued proliferation of nations having nuclear weapons, the problems that continue to plague Ukraine, despite having signed the Budapest Memorandums, will only make those nations in the future that may find themselves confronted, under similar circumstances, all the more reluctant to dispense with their stockpiles - given its role as a deterrent in discouraging nations from engaging in military incursions into a neighbor's territory!

Take note: acquire nuclear weapons and never let go of them.

Nearly all immigration and tourist visa forms ask if you've ever visited the US; if so, you must provide your arrival and departure dates. Documentation proving arrival and departure dates must be provided for embassy verification.

If you immigrated to the US in the past 50 years, you should know these basic questions.

I will repeat myself. If you self deport you are eligible to apply to return. You don't have to lie.

On Christ's shoulders in how
He will be always wanting to
Relieve us of our burdens
Knowing that when we do so
It will be a sign and sigh of relief
And a sigh over in our burdens
Feeling much more lighter as
God wants us to have our burdens to
Not be taking a toll on us.

In the eyes of the

Hoping to lift the burden and
Place the burden on Christ Jesus
As that nothing is too big for
Him and even too small as
It is about giving Him control.

Feel like we are in well control.

May every Trump supporter eventually come to the same realization that undying loyalty to this man gets you nowhere. He’ll eventually turn on you too.
