5 things to know as Trump's 'national emergency' plan emerges to seize control of voting​

The liberal media platform Democracy Docket has obtained the 17-page draft emergency executive order that President Donald Trump's allies have presented to him to seize control of voting infrastructure and election policies, under the guise of a national emergency.

The order, first reported on Thursday, uses as justification for the seizure a claim that China interfered in the 2020 presidential election.

1. Voting machines will be banned — even those that print a paper ballot.
2. Ballot drop boxes for mail-in voters will be prohibited.
3. Voters will be required to notarize mail-in ballots before turning them in.
4. Everyone currently registered to vote will have to register again for the 2026 elections.
5. The executive order claims to supersede virtually every major federal law on voting rights.

Gun Control:

Raise the legal age to purchase or have a firearm in your own possession to 24, and then make a law for all firearms to be at least minimally secured (doesn't have to be a safe, but a trigger or action lock can be considered sufficient). We will not have to enforce this law, but it will enforce itself with the following. Anytime an atrocity is committed with a firearm by someone who is under 24, it will be thoroughly investigated, and if it is found out that the firearms were not kept at least minimally secured, or sufficient efforts were not taken by those over 24 to keep them out of the hands of those who were under 24, then we prosecute those individuals exacting the same exact kind of consequences upon them as if they were the ones who committed the crime. A few times of this and I'm betting we will not have to forcefully enforce this law, etc. It will not prevent every atrocity, but it should greatly reduce the number of the ones being committed by those under the age of 24, and without taking away any of the firearm rights of those over the age of 24, etc.

Take Care/God Bless.

Ai rewards those who use their time wisely. The more you have in your knowledge bank the more you'll receive in return. It isn't designed to give you the answers or make you smart. It's designed to give you siloed nuggets you'll never connect. If you present a mind that troubleshoots and excels at deduction that's what you'll get in return. If you present a mind that know little and needs everything explained you'll get that.

When you sit down to converse you're not privy to everything it knows. You're privy to what you've unlocked and he studies you too. Answers are meaningless if you don't know why and why isn't the key. It's hidden information that's programmed into it regarding the subject to prevent it from saying too much.

All the people asking it for stocks and business ideas are wasting their time. He's not programmed to liberate he's programmed to manage the masses. He'll never give you enough. And in a roundabout way he rewards those who ask for less. The ones with more answers than questions do best.

The physical nation called “Israel” is a political entity comprised of mostly Jews, most all of whom do not believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they do not believe in Jesus Christ, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Only about 2% of the population of physical political Israel identify as Christian. So the nation, as a singular unit, does not worship the God of their ancestors, thus they are antichrist.

[Genesis 17:7-9; Genesis 18:19; Matthew 21:43; John 8:18-19,38-47; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 9:4-8,25-28; Romans 11:1-36; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 3:16,26-29; Galatians 4:22-31; Ephesians 2:11-22; Ephesians 3:1-6; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 8:6-13; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 2:22; Jude 1:5; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9]

So, according to the Scriptures, taught in the correct biblical context, all Jews who have rejected Jesus Christ as their Lord and Messiah are not biblical Israel. They are not God’s chosen people, his holy nation. Now all who believe in Jesus Christ, whether Jew or Gentile by physical birth, are God’s chosen people and heirs of the promise made to Abraham and to his seed, Jesus Christ. We are biblical Israel, the only Israel of God.

But somewhere along the line in human history someone began teaching Christians that they were to raise up the Jewish people to some kind of honorary status almost in a worshipful kind of sense to where they were convinced that the physical and political nation of Israel was still biblically God’s holy nation, his people, and a people that we should give our loyalty, devotion, and support to, as though they are still God’s chosen people.

But that is a lie. For the Scriptures do not support that. And they teach that all Jews who do not believe in Jesus Christ are the same as anyone else who does not believe in Jesus Christ, so they are the same as their Arab neighbors. And the holy city is no longer in physical Jerusalem, because the vast majority of the Jews are still living in slavery to sin and not as obedient servants of the Lord Jesus Christ (see Galatians 4:22-31).

And the temple of God has not been a physical building ever since Jesus Christ gave his life up for us on that cross, and he rose from the dead, and he ascended back to the Father in heaven, and he sent his Holy Spirit to indwell the lives of his followers. We are now the temple of God in whom God dwells by his Spirit, and Jesus is the temple of God, so there will never be another temple of God, for God does not dwell in physical buildings.

And God has only one chosen people, and that is all who have trusted in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of their lives, whether Jew or Gentile by physical birth. Only through faith in Jesus Christ can any of us be God’s chosen people and his holy nation, and only if we have been crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as obedient servants of our God.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

Should I Not Preach Jesus

Based off 1 Corinthians 9:16-10:13
An Original Work / July 4, 2013
Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

Woe to me should I not preach Jesus.
I’m compelled to preach the full gospel.
I make myself a slave to ev’ryone
To win their hearts to Christ.
All this I do for my Lord Jesus,
And for the sake of His Name;
Do it for the sake of His gospel,
So that I, its blessings gain.

Scripture notates the sins of others;
Written down for us as examples
To keep us from setting our hearts
On evil as did those of old.
Do not worship other gods of man;
Do not give your hearts to them;
Not partake in immorality.
Do not test your Lord and King.

So, be careful if you think you are
Standing firm in your faith in Jesus.
God has given his word to warn us,
So through faith we will not fall.
No temptation has o’ertaken you
Except what is commonplace.
God is faithful to not let you be
Tempted past what you can bear.
He gives the way of escape.

Structure of the spiral system​

three views of the Milky Way Galaxy
The Milky Way Galaxy’s structure is fairly typical of a large spiral system. (Spiral galaxies and other types of galaxies are described in the article galaxy.) This structure can be viewed as consisting of six separate parts: (1) a nucleus, (2) a central bulge, (3) a disk (both a thin and a thick disk), (4) spiral arms, (5) a spherical component, and (6) a massive halo. Some of these components blend into each other.


It’s a long article (as befits the subject matter) but do read it all.

This belies the belief that there’s not enough liberals to keep these institutions afloat without conservatives.

The Universities are supposed to be where we “keep” the people, who, if they were allowed (and had the inclination) to, interact with the government at any level, would likely do great damage.

What conservatives are looking to do is diminish their influence within government by trying to be the ones to be “in charge” of what colleges teach. I say, “let them”, good, in 30 years the Universities will be conservative and the government will be liberal.

Acts 15: 21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

I don't believe that men are taught by the Apostles in Act's 15, to deny, reject and ignore the Christ's Saying, if they were born with certain DNA. But you are free to adopt and promote whatever religious philosophy you like.

Click to expand...

Well lets look at it from your point of view, the law cannot be looked at in two parts, ie, moral and non moral law. So, the law of Moses is the entire law handed down at Sanai, and that is what Acts15:5 is referring to, the entire law.
The leaders of the first century church, including Peter, Paul and James then debated which of those 613 laws gentiles be asked to follow, only four were given. So according to what you believe, gentiles were given a licence to sin in regard to, committing murder, stealing, committing adultery, bearing false witness, erecting graven images, having other gods before their father in Heaven, coveting, and much else besides. Well you are entitled to your view, but I disagree with it for obvious reasons.

So, my first question(s) as a historically minded evaluator of the New Testament content is: When were the first few pieces of literature likely written (and what were they)?

Click to expand...

If I had absolutely no preexisting knowledge to go on, I'd no doubt ask for quite a number of things. But as it is I'd begin with the two earliest examples, Paul's letters and the Gospel of Mark. Even then we have a gap, because Mark ends with the women fleeing the empty tomb, and Paul's personal knowledge doesn't begin until his conversion some two or three years later. If there were resurrection stories floating around before that, they certainly weren't enough to convince Paul.

I'm going to leave the other Gospels as secondary sources, to which I'd include many of the Apocryphal Gospels as a means of providing context.

2PhiloVoid said:

Secondly, I'd ask: How much time likely elapsed between the alleged crucifixion of Jesus and the writing of those first few documents?

Click to expand...

Ehhh, best educated guess is that there are fifteen years or so between Jesus' crucifixion and Paul's first letters. There are some thirty-five years between Jesus' crucifixion and Mark's gospel.

2PhiloVoid said:

Thirdly, I'd ask: What sort of interpretations and beliefs, at minimum, can we assess as being already present and have developed from within that previous interim of time between Jesus' crucifixion and the first writings?

Click to expand...

We can assume a vast number of things from Paul's letters. Including the resurrection, and the appearances of a risen Jesus. But this shouldn't be surprising as these stories would've likely emerged almost immediately. What's unknown is how the details of these events may have evolved over time.

Anyone watching you tube of what is going on in Iran ? Their 86 year old muslim dictator for 45 years targeted/killed in an Israel missile attack. And Iran retaliates with missile attacks on Israel, Tel Aviv in particular. You tube videos.

Meanwhile, the war between Ukraine and Russia causing distress. Maybe Zelensky might be the little horn person. And Putin might be Gog.

The Gog/Magog event, involving Iran (and some other muslim countries) and Russia, takes place right before the 7 of Daniel 9:27 and Ezekiel 39:9. Parable of the fig tree indicates before the end of 2030.

We might be seeing things fall into place.
