As you know, I am not very optimistic regarding the future of the American society. So as we march into the coming year, I offer the following: On the Hebraic calendar we are in the year 5783; Tav - Shin - Pey - Gimmel. This began on 5 Oct 2022. Consider Shemita and Jubilee In 1987 the Lord revealed 2 Ephesians 1-10 as a scripture for skydivers: 2 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the [a]course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. As I proceed in the last decade of my productive life, I remain your servant in Christ.

And this thought: Why won't you try Jesus? You've tried everything else.

It's in my DNA. I was born this way.

I believe Britttney Griner is a man who was/is not good enough to play in the NBA. So, he took an alternative. It is a national shame that a US Marine is still in Russian prison.

The Way I understand, Jesus is the path for redemption which follows justice first decreed by appeopriate authority. Death row inmates are given a last chance. Life or consciousness is eternal. Where it resides is the question. When God's judgment begins, see Revelation, 50% of the earth's population will be wiped out.

Too slow

Romans 13 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will [a]bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. Thoughout the Bible's history, examples of human death abound.

Firing squad? Hanging? Back to basics

It is a shame Dr Stephen Groff, psychiatrist, is not here to join the discussion. For those of you who don't know, he did some original research on psychedelics. And, he was a pioneer skydiver.

God hates sin, not sinners. By His love He has provided a path for your salvation. All you have to do is surrender your ego and accept His free gift.

Your soul is eternal. As long as you are physically alive you can be saved. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." I know some here do not belive that they are bad enough to be called sinners. They will learn the truth after physical death. Confess to God that you are a sinner and ask Him to come into your life and take control. If you mean it in your heart, that is not playing an intellectual game, by His grace you will be born again. By His grace your sins will be forgiven and you will have a clean slate. Salvation is through Jesus Christ. You receive it by grace through faith.

70 X 7, see Matthew 18: 21-22 Yes, if you have a relationship with Him.

As someone who committed the same offense and was forgiven, I forgive him. Every Christian has a past. Jesus Christ provides redemption through his death on the cross. All we have to do is surrender and accept.

Some think white robes but, I don't know. I'm partial to denim jeans and cotton shirts. Paradise prior to the rapture I think will be more mirage like, maybe an orb of light.

I will be with the army of Christ. Remember this is post rapture.

From what I understand the people will need plants and animals to eat.

I will be in Jerusalem.

Good troll! The monotheistic government of Jesus Christ will come after the rapture and the defeat of Gog and Magoog at the start of His millennial reign. I will be there and look forward to the excitement of not just good but excellent living. In the mean time we are content to deal with the bs of current politics as best we can. Remember, the U.S. Government has two heads on the same snake body.

They have one bad side effect. They wear off.

The answer can be found in Jewish eschatology. That is to say, God determined the end at the beginning. Man cannot solve the problem or change the outcome.

Herschel Walker, the toughness we need in the U.S. Senate.

Good enough, he will vote Republican, probably 96% of the time. It will be the counterbalance to Warnock who has voted 96% in favor of the Biden administration. Not to worry though, Ossof is still in office.

I believe he has a chance to beat the enemy. For the same reason, I support Herschel Walker opposing Warnock.

OANN is still available online.
