Did Sweden's government disarm the populace the way the UK's did?

Thinking people who know what Socialism is are uneducated about Socialism is just sillyness. Calling people un-American for saying people who wish they lived under a regime that is not a Constitutional Republic should leave a Constitutional Republic so as to find the Socialist regime they crave is un-American is just plain ignorant. Just like those who are working to make America become a Democratic Socialist country are ignorant in that process. That's why calling people who are educated about what the Socialist model is are in need of an education in light of those aforementioned examples is darn funny. But it doesn't offset the fact that those doing the calling are ignorant. If they were educated they wouldn't have admitted they needed to Google first to find out what's being discussed here. Only to return calling others ignorant for having their own knowledge beforehand.

And yet when the Socialist model there began it was promoted as glorious for the people. Keep in mind though that Venezuela is extreme right wing anti-abortion by law. There , a woman that is in an at risk pregnancy and has been told will perish if she remains pregnant , by her physician of course, will indeed die. Unless her family can get her out of the country and to a country that will perform the procedure. That is also what some factions in America want to see happen. That and or the socialist model coming here as well. Because they've never lived under that kind of governance. Bernie Sanders was their champion. He was out of his wits and knew nothing about what he was speeching about, but he was still a proponent of the same government as now exists in Venezuela.

That aptly describes the Democratic Socialists of America in that first picture, yes. All the good they could do? Move! Go to those socialist countries that are already in existence and see how they fare. They're crowing for a socialist model in America thinking that's ideal because they'll be on the receiving end as lazy parasites who will live off the hard work of others in the socialist model. Look at the average age of those in the first picture holding the banner for the DSoA. All of them under mid 30's range if that.

It is. And on the same day it was announced the Oscars ceremony opened. They always have a memoriam for those who have passed away during the year and the news of his passing reached them that same morning. No one saw it coming. He was suppose to go in for a simple surgery and he never came out. Very sad. I remember him as Morgan in the movie Tombstone. He was in Aliens, Predator 2. Many films. A good actor. Very sad.

Well said Gary.

John 7:166 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So much for leaving the topic huh? Barack Obama lied from day one of his run for the office. The change he thought we could believe in was the change that he ended up leaving as an unbelievable legacy the rest of us now have to cope with when he's gone. A mess for president Trump to clean up. But intended to be the bedrock for a Obama third term thinking his, "most qualified for the office since Jefferson (a slave owner btw)" Hillary Rotten Clinton. Who ended up losing. Knowing this in November and having to January 21st to do his worst, Obama did just that. And now there are Obama loyalists in government working to sabotage Trump's efforts. Efforts Trump undertook from day one in office. Working to keep the campaign promises he made during his run for the office. Something politicians don't do. The "Russia hacked the elections" is of course bulls lips slander. There is not one bit of proof Russia hacked our elections. Not one. In fact, the ballot booths aren't on line so the hacker notion is implausible. And even ridiculous. But that R word haunts Trump because he made the mistake of thinking of turning around a question about Russia into a working relationship hypothetical. Which the media wasn't expecting and didn't appreciate. And why not? Why not hope to make an ally of Russia to fight terrorism? As Trump asked. But going from that the Hillary campaign and the Obama agenda launched the idea that Trump worked with the Russians to beat Hillary at the polls. Because it's easier to slander Trump than it is to admit Hillary cut her own throat and lost because she was unfit for the office. What's happening now with Obama plants leaking communications like those of General Flynn's lawful actions in his short time in office is what some have called a violation of the espionage act.

What's scary is that of late the UN acts as if it makes law in these type of declarations and for those countries to whom it addresses them.

I've not found a major news outlet that carries this. Not even a Catholic reporting agency. Meanwhile a Catholic discussion forum says there is no truth to this claim that originated there for discussion back in 2014. http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=910239

"Thou shalt not murder" God's justice is all knowing and therefore perfect in its execution. Jury's and the criminal justice system is not.

Don't worry about it. I'd suggest you back away and stop the pursuit. If this guy has reciprocal feelings for you he'll make the next move. Maybe he's shy about approaching you that way. What you could do is ask him to a drink. Coffee or something. See how that takes hold. If he blows that off he's just not that in to you. Move on. Dreams don't mean anything. Let God work it out as planned. Somewhere there is the perfect one for you. Often times they appear when you're not looking. Or working to get their attention.

That's what I understood also. Followers of The Way. Since posting this I sought resources that would inform as well. I found this: Should we call ourselves a Christian? Richard Anthony How and when was the word "Christian" first used? The term 'Christian' was used to describe a follwer of Christ in terms of the world, from the world’s point of view. The pagans at Antioch called the apostles "Christians" first (Acts 11:26; 26:28) and used it derogatorily because the apostles didn’t follow the commercial world of the pagans. "Christian" is an adjective, not a noun. The substance is not in the word "Christian", the substance is in the heart of the man it is attempting to describe, and which the pagan user cannot see. Christ never called himself a Christian, Christ never called his followers Christians. The apostles never called each other Christians. Christ never used an adjective to describe himself. So how are we to identify ourselves then? The disciples called each other, "brethren", "disciples", "apostles", "servants", "believers", "followers", "the faithful", "the elect", "the called", and "saints." We can also identify ourselves as "bondservants" of Christ. [--------] "Cristianos, Christian: a word formally not after the Greek but after the Roman manner, denoting attachment to or adherents to Christ. Only occurs as used by others of them, not by Christians of themselves. Tacitus (A.D. 96) says (Annals 15, 44), ‘The vulgar call them Christians. The author or origin of this denomination, Christus, had, in the reign of Tiberius been executed by the procurator, Pontius Pilate.’" Ethelbert William Bullinger, A Critical Lexicon and Concordance of the English and Greek New Testament (1908), p. 152. "This name (Christian) occurs but three times in the New Testament, and is never used by Christians of themselves, only as spoken by or coming from those without the church. The general names by which the early Christians called themselves were ‘brethren,’ ‘disciples,’ ‘believers,’ and ‘saints.’ The presumption is that the name ‘Christian’ was originated by the heathen." Thomas W. Doane, Bible Myths (1882), page 567, note 3. "The name (Christian) given by the Greeks or Romans, probably in reproach, to the followers of Jesus. It was first used at Antioch." Easton’s Bible Dictionary. "Egypt, which you commanded to me, my dearest Servianus, I have found to be wholly fickle and inconsistent, and continually wafted about every breath of fame. The worshippers of Serapis (here) are called Christians, and those who are devoted to the god Serapis (I find), call themselves Bishops of Christ." The Emperor Adrian to Servianus, written A.D. 134. If you go to Zodhiates Word Studies, he tells you that when they were called Christians at Antioch, using the word ‘crematezo,’ it was a "divine warning." In other words, be forewarned, avoid this word and the use of it. And that’s what the apostles did. You will never read any of these New Testament writers using the term ‘christian’ to describe themselves.

Being he came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel as he said. Wouldn't we be reformed Jews? Or Jews of some kind, not Messianic, being Jesus fulfilled the prophecy concerning the Messiah? How did we arrive at being called Christians? As if we're following Christ's teachings as if they had no foundation in the OT Jewish faith? I had heard that Christian was a derivative of Cretin and was intended to be an insult when the early pagans described the followers of the itinerant rabbi Yeshua. Does anyone know of that story or if it is true?

Remember that God said he knew you before he created this world? You were his first and when you found your way to his son you were saved in his sight. Simple is good. When the thief on the cross knew Jesus on sight I think that says he also had occasion to hear Jesus speak prior to that. Maybe he was on of those in the crowd that followed Jesus, or overheard as he was walking by. But he knew Jesus as soon as he saw him on the cross. And he knew also that he did nothing to deserve to be crucified. I think when Jesus told him on that day that thief would be with him in paradise that that is exactly where he was when he died. And is today. Paradise is Heaven after all. Jesus kept his word to the thief as he keeps his word to us. If he didn't keep his word to a thief who repented of his sins there on his own cross how can we say Jesus will keep his word to us?

I think Cuomo abdicates common sense and decency in order to embrace as part of his job tolerance for anything immoral. And as a result he's not even aware he appears to have lost his way. And to be an unfit father role model. One day in the future and probably long years from now this society will realize it should have tolerated morality first.

That's a great way to rephrase this. President Trump reinstated protections to the states in matters of public school students privacy. I'm proud of our president.
