Seems the elite were running a sex trafficking ring. Not just democrats though. Jeffrey Epstein’s elite circle was huge. What do the documents show about his lifestyle and $580m fortune? Some conspiracy theories turn out to be true. The Wuhan lab was likely though the denials were planted. It...

Watchman Nee "Following the takeover of China, Watchman Nee was arrested in March 1952 for the sake of the gospel. He was falsely condemned, judged, and sentenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment in 1956. He died in confinement on May 30, 1972." His wife died a year or so before him, and the...

I admit I do not know the political or cultural context as to what was required if anything during the time of Jesus. Sorry I did not look more closely at the context of changing provinces and even now I do not know exactly what that might entail. Obviously, Herod had no jurisdiction in Egypt...

I think school bonds should only be used for extra-ordinary expenses. Like a new school building. The problem is though that the districts get the money and then they want to roll them over for more general expenses. If in this case the bond was one third of the school budget, it means that tax...

I doubt Jesus was moved illegally, I assume the foreigners are treated with more respect. I assume too that the economics are more equitable requiring less migration in bible times. But you are right without more knowledge I should not make any assumptions on that particular case. Here is an...

Meanwhile the Philippines just said it is going to defend their fishermen. China just set a new law that goes into effect soon where they are going to treat Filipino fishermen as trespassers if they come near their "disputed" islands. The Chinese Coast Guard at that point will detain fishermen...

I went ahead and sent you a message as I had a very similar experience about 4 years ago. I know it might seem dark now but God can really bring you through this.

Thanks for the heads up. Israel is a member of the ICJ. Good for israel they are basically toothless.

I am taught and believe that "work out your salvation" refers to our minds being renewed. Our Spirit is sealed and already saved, it is our down payment. Our salvation though sealed needs help for us to walk in grace during our time on earth. Much of this help comes from the renewing of our mind...

"And as Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Statue, the ICC thus has no jurisdiction to investigate alleged crimes." The ICC Takes Unprecedented Action with Israel-Hamas Leadership Arrest Warrants - Australian Institute of International Affairs Jurisdiction matters so the ICC is merely...

I guess we will see soon enough. Many dems are getting nervous. If poll numbers drop anymore, Biden might get relieved from duty for incompetence or simply be told to resign for health reasons. Yes, it sure is too bad the two choices are almost unreal. I think it shows that God is working behind...

The precedent would be a illegal needs an emergency procedure like an appendix that burst. USA hospitals, many funded with government money would perform the operation. The initiation of a immoral act of crossing the border does not necessarily forfeit the privilege of getting medical help...

First, the drug is given free by a foundation, so it is private and not taxpayer funded. The only requirement is to live in the USA and be low income. I am pretty sure they do not check immigration status but perhaps they might ask for a social security number. As to laws, when the authorities...

God taught me about immigration as a young missionary. Faced with illegally returning to a mission base at their request, I decided to part with the group because I did not want to violate that nation's immigration law. To make this decision, I asked was the immigration policy just? My answer...

Just thought I would message in hopes that you are someone might get some ideas so they can move on better in their walk with God. All I can say is that your age was the most difficult for me. As you get older, some of that caring for certain things that are unachieved will wear off. I hope this...
