OUR SUCCESS

I typed the above title in the search bar, and what a boatload to read and ponder, much of it after many years.

DADDY WAS RIGHT

Daddy was right when he was alive—regardless of agreement.
What Daddy said was right—regardless of agreement.
Daddy was right—now four decades after he’s gone.

Daddy was vindicated—
+ Insurance made medical costs go out of sight.
+ Insurance is the most complained about industry in the country, riddled with greed and corruption.
+ The church follows the world financially, and lost the difference of salt and light.
+ Pensions, retirement stash, especially in the church, takes enormous amounts of money from kingdom work/missions to make retirements better, cushy for preachers.
Don’t tell me they don’t think about it during their whole ministry.

Just like something is wrong when people say,
“We deserve every dollar we can get from our inheritance.”

So also, something is wrong when people say,
“I deserve every dollar I can get from my retirement package.”

TRINITY MEANS . . .

What does trinity mean ?
Trinity has meaning only as created by theologians.
Trinity has no meaning directly from the Bible, without propping up with words of man developed to maintain the invention of the word.

Trinity give theologians something to talk about—a merry-go-round of circular reasoning.
Trinity does not –
— bring anyone to Jesus
— bring anyone closer to Jesus
— help present the gospel
— come from the Bible
— send or drive anyone to the Bible

Trinity can send or drive someone to focus on the Bible, if you leave out the word trinity and the incessant explanations that accomplish nothing but push the merry-go-round.

? THE SECOND AMENDMENT ?

In America, we are not yet ready to use the second amendment to stop the wayward government, right here, now, before our very eyes.

Christian and conservative leaders are telling us that we must bring back America without using the second amendment.

So, they think the democratic process of voting will correct this crisis.

What I also hear—what logic says—if voting, this year, doesn’t fix it, it won’t get fixed.

Why ? Because we must not, will not, use violence.

So, is it time to basically remove the second amendment from the Constitution ?

– – –

— We are not going to use the second amendment literally.
— The left knows this.
— We’ve handed America over on a silver platter.
— We melted down the second amendment to make the platter.

APOLOGY – OR – APOLOGETICS

Apology

I’m sorry for . . .
I’m wrong about . . .
I’m ashamed for . . .
I regret . . .
I submit to you being right, better than me.
What I believe/practice is not better than what you believe/practice.
My spiritual beliefs may be different than yours, but both may be valid.
Political apology—surrender, compromise, appease, peace at any cost, to avoid war.

Apologetics

I believe this, and this is why I believe it.
I have no hesitations or apologies or regrets for what I believe.
I practice what I believe, regardless of the cost or consequences.
My beliefs and practices do not change by changing popularity or public consensus.
My spiritual beliefs are based on the Bible, with solid evidence it is the Truth.
Politically, peace through strength—strong enough and willing enough and ready enough to fight for freedom and defeat evil.

WHEN YOU “HAVE TO” DO SOMETHING

Type that title in the search bar, and read an urgent article from over eleven years ago.

TRINITY – – – EXPLAIN IT, OR DEFEND IT, OR . . .

Trinity—
Explain it
or
Defend it
or
Skip it—just preach and teach what the Bible says about God.

Is it really not enough what the Bible says about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit ?
Do we really have to add man-made terms and words we hopelessly fail to explain ?
– – –
A breath of fresh air
or
Hopelessly bogged down defending what’s not even in the Bible.
