But your 'circles' supports the killing of babies in the womb - embraces homosexuality and other perversions including promoting pedophilia as a lifestyle choice and normalizing gender dysphoria. Where is any of that in the fruits of the spirit?

The reality is the President is the best choice we have been given. and that is a sad statement in a number of different ways.

I qualify free will as a will free from sin. I learned that from the Holy Spirit of Truth and I gave scripture supporting it. The philosophical free will of secular humanism that disregards God as the power that causes people to act responsibly in love of one another, doesn't even exist in reality. I therefore preach the Gospel where mankind cannot save himself with belief in the false free will that is in reality the fallen carnal will.

It's personally why I think that being able to dislike a thread should be a thing on here.

Of course Christians can make mistakes.
But do they learn from those mistakes or repeat them in either act or support.

Can a Christian who made one mistake, do it again and would that be ok or just considered a mistake?

Yes, I understand that, but the thing is, laws can be passed that prevent eavesdropping in the workplace, or even in the public if standards can be agreed upon and put into place.

Wouldn't you prefer to be free from that? And if so, why wouldn't we want to stop it? What's the downside?

Another thing about these cameras is that if you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing, as a driver you can actually use that camera footage to prove it. They can come in very handy for dispelling false accusations, especially when there’s an accident and someone is lying about what actually took place.

Clare73 said:

Yes, the topic is free will.
And using free will to go against God's command ("pragmatics" not-with-standing) violates one's own conscience, no matter what it involves.

The "pragmatics" of man does not override God's commands nor one's conscience.

You are confused. Pragmatics is about context and implicature of words.

As much as I hate the inconvenience, I wouldn’t push against it because I don’t see it as a bad thing. I understand that the purpose of the camera is to promote safety and productivity which as a Christian I have no problem with. As long as I do my job in a safe and productive manner as I should, then I have no reason to be worried about what the camera is recording.

I’m sitting in a commercial vehicle with one of those right now as I do everyday by my own choice. I don’t like it, I’d like to be free to take a drink from my coffee cup while I’m driving, but by agreeing to take the job knowing the expectations of the company I chose to comply with those expectations. Nobody controlled me in my decision.

Click to expand...

Yes, because we need our jobs to feed our families. But that doesn't make the practice 'right'.

People should be more dignified in how they deal with other people, in a civilized, and free society that celebrates individual liberties. As technology evolves, we (people) must set the standards on what is or isn't acceptable.

Nope, not those specific type.

When I saw the topic title, I immediately thought about giving some A.I. robots some cannons, swords, and machine guns. That’s just a great idea. (sarcasm intended) Or make some suicide bomber bots to take out my enemies muhaha.

Never mind the hacker-bots, sex-bots, and drug mule hauling bots of the future. How about an abortion robot A.I.? That sounds like about the worst use case possible.

Tunneling bot for prison escapes, remote A.I. helicopter for the same…there’s a lot of criminal potential for A.I. that hasn’t been explored yet, mostly because we don’t have gun-carrying humanoids yet. Once we do, the sky is the limit.

They’re a long way from having AI controlled robots out on the streets. AI requires hundreds of thousands of GPUs which won’t fit into an human sized robot, and at present we don’t have a wireless signal that can carry the vast amount of data fast enough for them to be controlled remotely. Personally I’m hoping that there’s a technological ceiling that prevents this from ever being a possibility. But bigger robots like the ED 209 from Robocop might be capable of containing enough GPU s at some point.

What WILL happen:

The enemies of the Lord gather - Micah 4:11-12, Ezekiel 36:2

They conspire to attack Israel - Psalms 83:1-8, Isaiah 21:2

They prepare their weapons - Psalms 7:12, Ezekiel 7:14

The Lord will make their weapons recoil upon themselves, the Electro-Magnetic Pulse hit will cause them to explode - Psalms 7:13-16, Joel 3:4, Obadiah 15

Then the sun, moon and stars will be obscured by the approaching Coronal Mass Ejection - Psalms 18:11-12, Isaiah 13:9-13, Ezekiel 32:7-8, Amos 8:9

A huge superhot mass of hydrogen plasma approaches the earth – Joel 1:15-20, Malachi 4:1, Zephaniah 1:14-18

Everyone on earth will be shocked and terrified - Jeremiah 6:24-26, Ezekiel 21:5-7a, Isaiah 13:6-8, Revelation 6:15-17

The atmosphere will be pushed aside – Revelation 6:14, 2 Peter 3:10, Isaiah 34:4

The whole earth will be enveloped by fire - Isaiah 66:15, Zeph. 3:8, 2 Peter 3:7

His enemies will become ashes - Malachi 4:3, Ezekiel 30:1-5, Jeremiah 49:2, Matthew 3:12b

Millions will die around the world - Psalms 97:3-5, Jeremiah 25:33, Isaiah 13:12

The Lord will protect those who call to Him - Isaiah 43:2, Joel 2:32, Acts 2:21

But most people will take shelter until it passes. Isaiah 2:19, Revelation 6:15

The survivors will form a One World Govt. - Daniel 7:23-24, Revelation 17:12

The Holy Land will be regenerated - Ezekiel 36:8, Joel 2:21-24, Isaiah 35:1-10, Amos 9:13-15, Jeremiah 33:12-14

And the Lord's faithful Christian people will gather there. - Psalms 107, Isaiah 35:1-10, Ezekiel 34:11-16, Isaiah 66:18b-21, Revelation 7:9-14

They will become the new nation of Beulah - Isaiah 62:1-5, Ezekiel 36:3-38, Jeremiah 31

They will build a new Temple – Zechariah 6:15, Haggai 2:9, Ezekiel 40 to 48

The attack by a Northern army will be won by the Lord – Ezekiel 38:22, Joel 2:20

The leaders of Beulah will break the Covenant with the Lord and sign a 7 year peace treaty with the leader of the O.W.G. Daniel 9:27, Isaiah 28:14-15

At the midpoint he will break the treaty and conquer Beulah-Daniel 9:27, Zechariah 14:1-2

This commences the 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls of the Great Tribulation - Rev 8:2 onward.

Those who kept their faith in God will be taken to a safe place on earth. Daniel 11:32b, Revelation 12:14

3.5 years later, Jesus will Return in His glory, for His Millennial reign - Revelation 19:11-21, Matthew 24:30-31, Zechariah 14:3-4



The Lord has told us His plans and He will not relent or change them - Jeremiah 4:28

There are plenty more prophecies and scriptures to prove this scenario.

Believe it or not it’s up to everyone to decide! Psalms 19:11-12, Isaiah 48:6

The long-delayed September jobs report showed the US added way more jobs than expected​

• The US added 119,000 jobs in September, exceeding the expected 53,000.
• Unemployment unexpectedly ticked up.
• The data release was delayed due to the government shutdown.

Employers do this all the time. They often use cameras to monitor employee productivity. As employees if we don’t like it we’re certainly free to seek employment somewhere else. So I wouldn’t consider that being controlled, I would say that it’s more like consensual observation.

It seems you don't understand that.

There is not a comparison between a civil war and today. You guys seem to try to equate belligerents fighting a civil war and illegal immigrants. Expediting deportations still has to be done within the framework of the constitution not outside of it. Expediting deportations does not justify stoping people without probable cause to just check their “papers”.

Click to expand...

The Supreme Court just ruled today that the President can use the Alien enemies act to deport illegals. He also has the authority to use the military to do so.
The due process for criminal noncitizen scam is over, and when the Supreme Court finally rules that the 14th amendment does not confer birthright citizenship, the anchor baby scam will also be over

The divide and conquer strategy of the left wing and Democratic Party is coming to an end. We can begin to be a united country again.

To all illegals, take the deal. 1000 dollars and a free plane ticket to your home country or face ICE and your trip home may not be as pleasant
Leave now and you can make arrangements to return legally. Refuse and stay, when you are removed, you are gone for good

Christ redeems sinners, He does not condone sin

St Juan Diego, pray for us

I love all my Mexican brothers and sisters here in San Antonio as we celebrate our American citizenship. We all love this country for a reason, and it is not to throw it away to criminals
