    “Today’s veto begs the question: Why? Why, if you are following the rules, would you not support a resolution that reaffirms them? What could you possibly be hiding?” U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the council after the vote. “It’s baffling, and it’s a shame.”

    Since the deep state called our administration has been fomenting a war with Russia since the USSR collapsed, I would think the entire Russian government would not trust us to keep it.  We didn't even keep the treaties we had with Native Americans from the start, and nothing has changed.

    If I no longer trust our own government, how do we expect them to.

    I personally know of many Christians in service to our Lord in the joy and certain hope of Jesus that do not or did not have any strong desire to be baptized in water. In fact I know one friend that opposed it for years. Yet when told by the elders that  he must be baptized if he is to lead a ministry work he spent time in prayer with his wife then in obedience to  the elders he and his wife both were baptized.

    Was he strong in his ministry duties? Yes! Was he an extremely active  witness of the gospel of Jesus? Yes!

    I had the job duty to have facilities prepared for water baptisms for some 14 years and so saw and heard the testimonies of many a Christian, a whole lot of them waited years to be baptized in water.

    I still don't know anyone who didn't want to be baptized. When Jesus told us to do so how can anyone justify not doing so.

    I don't really know much about the Masons. I've heard rumors but some of those could submit be rumors. As far as Washington goes, I must respectfully disagree about him being a deist or anything close to a deist. 

    I would suggest you do some serious research on the Masonic order.  You can't be a Christian and a Mason.  Look up the writings of Albert Pike and Manley P. Hall.  Read two or three of their books to understand why.

    Did you watch the video?   He is specifically explaining John 14:28 which Muslims try to use to say Jesus isn't God.

    Yes, but I was just answering the question asked in the title.   And it is what I tell the Muslims I deal with.   They are aware of Jesus and even believe he had a virgin birth, they just don't understand who his dad is.  Also keep in mind that when all enemies are made their footstool, Jesus will subject himself to the Father.  I have to discuss with them just what that word God means.  They don't understand the concept of the trinity could be real and consider us as polytheists.  Making us worthy of death.

    I do!! A lot!!  I pray for Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden.

    I pray for their salvation, the salvation of their family members, and more.  I pray for God to help Joe Biden.  I pray a lot of other things.

    I pray for the unity of our nation - as we are now divided almost to the point of no return.  

    We are in trouble with unity, for we have let in so many people who have no desire to assimilate.

    1 Cor 15:20-28

    20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For "God has put all things in subjection under his feet." But when it says, "all things are put in subjection," it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.
    ESV

    I would say that he is equal because the Father gave him the authority over everything except himself.  After Jesus has subdued everything to himself, he will present it all to the Father and subject himself to the Father.  I do believe where this scripture uses the Word God, it is speaking of the Father.

    Rom 10:9-10
    if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
    ESV

     

    That sounds simple, but there is a lot to declaring Jesus as your Lord.  A lot of responsibility goes along with that so as not to make yourself out to be a liar.

    If he is your Lord, you must do as he says, and lead a life of righteousness.   Basically by living by his two commandments...   Every day all day and night.

    After television held that title for a while, the Universal Product Code became the next tool of the devil. I remember it well. 

    Before the UPC and television, it was radio. Radio was the tool of the devil. Before radio, it was public education. Before public education, playing cards were the tool of the evil one. Cards shared the spotlight with dancing, of course.

    :thinking:

    All are tools, but just tools...   I would say that Satan has used Radio and TV fairly well over the past 100 years.

    When I was very young, my grandparents (and a lot of their friends) considered Social Security Numbers to be the mark of the beast and fully expected it to be marked on us somehow.    And I guess with modern technology it may well be yet.

    I won't spoil the "surprise", but will say I recall when television was the much vaunted tool of satan.

    It is a tool...   But as I look through its programming today, I would think Satan is getting good use of it in the general sense.

    I'm just curious. May I ask why you believe this? I realize modern history books have been changed and there is a lot of false information in them. However Washington's own writing, many of which are in the national archives shows Washington to be a very humble man of incredible faith. He regularly spoke of God and Christ as his hope and his faith in Christ. Just 1 point maybe you could consider. It's only modern people and history that claim the founding fathers were deists. However it can be proven 100% that many ( not all, but many ) of the finding fathers, including Washington were very strong men of faith in Christ. 

    Washington spoke of God a lot, however I do not think he talked about Jesus being his Lord.   The two pastors where he faithfully attended church have written that he never once took communion with the Church, and when asked about it just stopped attending church on days when communion was served.

    I would agree he was a good person, as many Masons seem to be.   But you can't be a true Christian and a Mason, especially above the 30th degree.
