Kerry: Air conditioners as big a threat as ISIS

[brinny]

brinny said: ↑
Not a big deal?
a priest was just beheaded inside his parish by ISIS.
The body count keeps rising.
Is a heat wave a "murderer"? Did it commit a cold-blooded sin that included torture?
The deliberate and cold-blooded serial killing via ISIS does not equate with an environmental event.

So you say, but what can you do about it?
Even being informed about the atrocities being practiced in the usa that last 100 years - have you been aware of any of them ? (political,legal,medical, educational,financial, oppressive, destructive, poisoning(food, water and air)(fatal, not just uncomfortable) )....
i.e. in your own neighborhood,
and even ever since you were born, and before that ?

Kerry is just another cog in the machine, doing what the machine has been doing for a hundred years.
Everything Kerry talked about all together is small potatoes compared to
everything that's been going on right under our noses all along.

No, it is not right. But that is society (as Scripture says it is PERNICIOUS(death dealing))
and
that (all of society) is a big part of what Jesus came to save people from ....

Last year, and the year before , and the year before that,
more people/ families/ children/ (animals too- care about them?)
were
treated abominably , broken up, 'terminated', as in "kill, steal, and destroy" ....
and no one (or few) spoke up for them....
long before Kerry and what he's talking about.

The problem is humongous, and according to Scripture is not going to be 'fixed' until Jesus returns,
and what we are going through may simply be "the beginnings of birth pangs" !
i.e. far far worse ahead this year, and next year,
and so on, until Jesus returns....

Sooooo....

it is what it is, eh?

Let it just wallow in an ever-sinking whirlpool?

Reminds me of this:

Some thoughts about ISIS, back in March, 2016.

It was a crisis then.

It is MORE of a crisis now. Environmentalism doesn't even begin to compare with this killing rampage that is growing, un-stopped.

So ?

Read the thread, the posts just from today.
There's a lot more people dying , for a lot longer time, from other things that something
could have been done about 100 years ago. Did you prevent any deaths in the last hundred years ? Or heal anyone ? If not, why not ?

Isis is nothing. How long did it take an angel of Yhwh to execute 186,000 soldiers ? (hint: very little time, with NO human intervention needed.

If God says DO something, DO it. (God has been telling His children WHAT TO DO all along)

If God does not say to do something, keep praying - don't think you can figure something out to "help" God along.

And never worry.

So? ISIS is slaughtering innocent people and your response is "So?"

ISIS is nothing?

'nuff said.

Continuing to pray at this most dire dire time for my country and that God intervenes as only He can.

God help us.

Do you or don't you trust God (the CREATOR of the Universe and Giver of all life ?).

Why do you think isis is bigger than God, or that He can't take care of the pest overnight ?

Have YOU prevented or done anything to stop preventable deaths in your town, city, state or country in all of your lifetime ? ever ?

If not, why talk about someone else's problems today ?

Why raise a stink about isis far far away - a distant threat,
when
many more severe threats are right at home "in your country" !?!?

Why should God help (a country that's abandoned Him largely) ?!
(and who said He isn't - again, are you trusting GOD or man/flesh?)

Leave ISIS be, eh?

Let the scourge of ISIS continue at will?

Do not speak out for or defend those who are in a strangle-hold by the evil of ISIS?

How many people has ISIS killed in the last month?

And, in carrying on with the example: How many people have died of water born disease in the last month? A paulty 120,000 (according to numbers provided above). How many WERE killed by ISIS in the past month, by the way?

It is not tiny. Burying your head in the sand and pretending it is will not help anyone. While I may be safe here in my little cozy office, my friends are in danger. I lost two in France. How about you?

It IS tiny and making it into a bigger threat than it is lends itself PRECISELY into what the "terrorists" want to accomplish (you will see the word "terror" in there for a reason). In the grand scheme of all the death in this world, it is tiny, whether it impacts me, you, or my best friend directly.

You want to win the war on terror? Don't be terrified. It's suuuuper simple.

Actually, it's growing, un-hindered.

Innocent will be inexplicably slaughtered.

There are cold-blooded serial killers on the loose, and our current government turns their heads and chooses to deny it, asking us to do the same.

It doesn't make it go away, it just makes not only the American people, but all the countries in the world, sitting ducks.

WHO do you serve ? God or men ?
WHO is able to do something about everything brought up today (not just in this thread) ?

Haven't you been reading my posts or anyone else's posts ?

We are not saying do nothing. Just realize that isis is SMALL TINY INSIGNIFICANT compared to the Power in Jesus Name.

And more than that - you are EMPHASIZING isis , GIVING THEM CREDIT, for substance they don't have ! Exalting isis over God,
instead of maintaining or resting in God's Perfect Peace and HIS ABILITY to handle any crisis.
AND WHY ? Because it's NEWS? Because it's emotional ? Why ?

It's a lot smaller concern than many other concerns both at home and overseas.

WHY give it such glory as if it was bigger than God ?
(no, don't count on trump or hillary or the usa; count on God, as God says to do).

Men have failed over and over and over, and will even more this year.

God has NEVER FAILED, EVER, not even once.

Put things in HIS HANDS. Put things IN ORDER , not pulling a lower order thing out and promoting it as if it had more importance.

And especially , DO WHAT YOU CAN DO AT HOME - in your neighborhood, to help people heal instead of die.
That's what Jesus told His disciples.

God is in charge. Let Him be in charge. Do what HE says about all these things.

He KNOWS what to do, nothing has surprised Him in 6000 years !

He's PLANNED for it all . He's PROVIDED what is needed all along.

Nope,

I'm not glorifying evil.

Just saying what it is.

As this Bible verse emphasizes:

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" ~Isaiah 5:20

Evil. It is what it is.

ISIS is evil.

If you call good evil, that doesn't help. If you fear evil, that doesn't help either.
So deal with it the way Jesus says to. (not politically, not socially, not by the flesh, not trusting in man)
Same with all the evil that is close at home, wherever you live and can actually do something to help people.

Not following you.

Nevertheless, it is what it is.

That's not what that Bible verse means.

It's saying "Woe" to those who call evil "good" and good "evil", in other words, who DEFEND evil.

God condems such things. He abhors it.

He also abhors those who stand by and allow evil to proliferate, and shed innocent blood.

I'm sorry, your statement is absurd.

If the global warming theorists are right, we are talking about hundreds of millions of people dead, the world economy in shambles, and the landscape altered for hundreds if not thousands of years.

If the global warming theorists are only 25% right, then we are talking millions dead, the world economy in shambles, and the landscape altered for hundreds if not thousands of years...

ISIS is not WWII nor are they even comparable to Korea or Vietnam, so lets dial down the death and destruction sky is falling oh-my-gosh rhetoric and put things in their proper context.

One of the biggest problem with Environmentalist issues is that we human beings just can't be bothered to care about things that impact our pocket books. And environmental issues are something that is too easy to hide and ignore and lie to yourself about until it is too late. We take it for granted that we can act with impunity without consequence and if we don't take environmental issues seriously soon, our grand children and great grandchildren will pay the price.

THey will be looking at all of the theories and predictions of today and scratching their heads and saying, "why didn't they do anything about it... they had the theories and the predictions, why didn't they at least try to reduce emissions and transfer to green technologies..."

it is really pretty sad. I guess since most of us will be dead and gone before this becomes an epic problem we just don't care...

Well there ya' go...

you have your opinion.

and i have mine.

yay for your opinion.

yay-ers for mine.

It's awesome to have the right to express each of our opinions, isn't it?

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

and those who oppose what is right and true.

God condemns such things. He abhors it.

He knows what He is talking about too.

He also abhors those who stand by and allow evil to proliferate, and shed innocent blood.

Yes, good. This is the point.

What have you done the rest of your life (the last many years)
to counter the evil in your community ? To stop evil from proliferating ?

What have you done ever to stop innocent blood from being shed ?

How will blabbing about isis, which as others have shown repeatedly is a much smaller problem than many things right in our own country ,
change the proliferation of evil in our own neighborhood ? in our own country ?

How will blabbing about SOMETHING WE CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT (EXCEPT WHAT GOD SAYS - PRAY, PRAY , PRAY)
reduce the evil in our own neighborhoods ? Or prevent the shedding of innocent blood in our own towns, cities and states ?

Have you done ANYTHING at home/ in the state you live in ,
to combat evil ? Even SIMPLY TO SET THE OPPRESSED FREE - heal the sick, etc that JESUS SAYS TO DO.....
IF NOT, how can you possibly hope to combat evil overseas ?

i've stared down drug dealers all the while, approaching them, and asked them their names, and why they're standing on my street corner, and told them to get ta steppin', i've stood up to bullies, advocated for battered women, abused and oppressed people, including children, brought corporations to their knees because they were dead wrong and oppressed the "little guy", rescued a child from a kidnapper with a crazy police officer who got the guy and the kid back, given money umpteen times to men and women who were at first glance heaps of rags or blankets, but were actually people under there, advocated for a homeless vet in a wheelchair to secure housing, kept another homeless vet in a wheelchair from riding into traffic because he was in such despair he wanted to kill himself, supported financially umpteen ministries overseas and here that minister to hurting and needy people, talked with umpteen people in despair on hotlines, and offered something they were bereft of...a listening ear, and hope and a glimpse of the light at the end of that long, dark tunnel.....

you?

Let all criminal run free, by your logic. God will take care of it.

God uses "means", my friend. Farmers don't just pray for corn. They till the soil, sew seeds, irrigate, control pests. . .

You super-spiritualize everyone in a very gnostic manner.
