Australia to get US Nuclear Powered Submarines



US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met today in San Francisco to jointly announce that Australia will take three, potentially second hand, US Virginia class, nuclear powered submarines, with an option to purchase another two, under the AUKUS (Australia/UK/US) defence pact. As part of the deal Australia will contribute significant resources to US shipyards.


Australia will also manufacture a new British Astute class nuclear powered submarine with at least five boats delivered to the Australian navy by the mid 2050s. The new sub, known as the AUKUS Class, will be operated by both the UK and Australia using US combat systems.

The joint arrangement is part of a major refocus on strengthening deterrence in the western Pacific.

Biden Claims It’s “Close To Sinful” For States To Stand Between Kids And Trans-Activist Doctors


Biden Claims It’s ‘Close To Sinful’ For States To Stand Between Kids And Trans-Activist Doctors | The Daily Wire

“What’s going on in Florida is…close to sinful.”

Gotta protect those kids rights to do irreparable harm to themselves.

The police describe the suspect as a male in his mid- to late-20s with dark thinning hair and a distinctive beard with no mustache.

Police are searching for a man who burglarized and vandalized Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Gales Ferry, Connecticut, early Saturday.

The Ledyard Police Department reported that the man broke into the church, smashing windows and attempting to break into rooms using a crowbar. The police reported that the man further vandalized the church by painting “hateful” messages on the floor of the church meeting hall with black paint and more “hateful speech” on a wall that displayed a large crucifix.

Based on security camera footage from inside the church, police allege the man entered the building at about 1 a.m. Saturday, March 11, and stayed in the building for about two and a half hours. The police believe the man first tried to enter the building by throwing bricks at the front door but was unsuccessful. The police believe the man then walked around the outside of the building and broke windows with bricks, rocks, and religious items before breaking into a window on the north side of the building and entering the church.

Kindly pray for his well being and good health.

31 The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— 36 do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; 38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”

Jesus is quoting Psalm 82:1 "God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:

Firstly I love the phrase "scripture cannot be broken" this is not often quoted on CF.

Can someone comment in what broken means in the Greek please.

Do we 'break' the scripture if we take a figurative interpretation for example ?


Secondly can someone explain why Jesus is making reference to Psalm 82:1
This seems not to be a defence because He is God in the flesh and doesn't need one.
It also seems a poor defence when He knew the Jews were using a different meaning of the word God and referring to the one true God.

Comments on this passage most welcome.

Speaking from a biblical perspective this is my viewpoint on the gun debate. Christians should be for gun rights. Why? Because guns are used for hunting and the Bible justifies hunting. Even if you're a Christian pacifist you've got to admit that guns are used for hunting. So if for no other reason Christians should be for gun rights because guns are used for hunting.

Jesus is our Sanctification.



Reader....are you born again, or just water baptized and religious?


Jesus said..>"You must be born again"......and water can't do that for you.

So, when we are "In Christ", we are sanctified..... as Christ is our Sanctification.

1 Corinthians 1:30

And here is something that is very important to understand, or you'll end up trying to do works and sefl effort to be saved or to try to stay saved. And if that is your faith, then your faith in Christ is Broken.
Paul told us to "examine yourselves to be sure you are in the Faith".

2 Corinthians 13:5

Let me tell you how you do that....... Here is what you do to "examine yourself".

Ask yourself...:

"do i believe that Jesus always keeps me saved". ?.........and if your heart of faith says..>"of course"'....then you are in the faith.... You passed the Exam.

If However your heart of faith says.....>"well, only if i hold unto my faith........only if i keep Jesus's commandments......only if a keep the law........only if i DO SOMETHING THAT IS A SELF EFFORT like..... only if i keep confessing my sin and repenting">.

See that?... That is broken faith that does not Trust in Christ any longer.. That faith is SELF rightesouness, and you'll have a LIST of things you are doing to try to be saved or stay saved and you'll post your list, a lot, when discussing SALVATiON or "How do i go to Heaven".

Next.....

Our Discipleship, is not our sanctification, its only our discipleship.
Our Salvation is not our Discipleship...

A lot of Christians confuse Salvation with their Discipleship, and that leads to Legalism, = "trying to stay saved by SELF effort".
However......They are not the same.
Salvation is God offering His forgiveness and righteousness to YOU, as Christ on the Cross... This is "the gift of salvation", and "the gift of righteousness".
Discipleship is you presenting your body and behavior back to God as your discipleship, subsequent to you being SANCTIFIED by the Blood of Jesus as a Son/Daughter of God, -= Born again.

Discipleship has no effect on being "made Righteous', because JESUS is our entire sanctification, proven by the believer being "born again". "in Christ".
A born again believer has become "the righteousness of God, in Christ".
The born again have recevied "the GIFT of righteousness"....as proven by the born again being "IN CHRIST". ... See reader, you could not have any SIN, and be "in Christ".

Here are 4 things you have to understand about your "sin"......if you are born again and not just water baptized and religious.

This is basic "Pauline Theology".....

1.) 2 Corinthians 5:19. """""God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.""""

2.) 2 Corinthians 5:21. """"God made Jesus who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

3.) Hebrews 10: 12. """But Jesus, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;""""

4.) Romans 4:8.. """Bless are the born again unto who God will not impute (charge) SIN"


The BORN AGAIN.... are "made righteous", so, we can't become more righteous, but we can exist in renewed mind perfection as a BELIEVER.
Paul says of those of us who are in that renewed mind.... .we are.." "as many as be Perfect"".

Also.....Spiritual Fruit coming out of you comes from the renewed mind, through Christ.
Committing "works of the Flesh" that leads to Confessing and repenting, comes out of the carnal "un-renewed" mind issue, through You.

To become "perfected", and exist as "the fullness of the Stature of Christ" is not found by doing deeds, its only found by having a perfectly renewed Mind that always and only reflects God's perspective of who we are as a born again "NEW CREATION", made so by God Himself.

Notice that the NT teaches you that you please God by "faith", and = "without Faith it is mpossible to please God ""..... and that faith isn't deeds and works...but rather its found in perfected spiritual understanding .
= THE renewed MIND..
That is the REAL walk of Faith, and its not found by trying to be good, trying to be like Christ... and keep commandments....... Its THIS = Its to exist in revelation knowledge of who you have become as a "New Creation IN CHRIST"...., as then..... you are now existing in the renewed mind.

Reader, the "Helmet of Salvation" .....

Ephesians 6:11

= is LITERALLY the correct understanding of being "made righteous", having become "the righteousness of God in Christ"., as this is the "new Creation".
So.....If you dont have this piece of God's armor figured out and on your head as the "renewed Mind".... then DECEIVERS will get in your head and their false gospel and false theology will become your helmet. It will become your broken faith. Deception will become your Truth.
Or as Jesus told you, "be careful that the Light that is in you, is not DARKNESS"...

Luke 11:35

The journalists have released their findings in numerous Twitter threads. They explored the behind-the-scenes communications regarding the censorship of the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story and the banning of former President Donald Trump. Other threads allege the widespread censoring of conservatives was privately urged by some members of the government.


A week later, the first of what became known as the "Twitter Files" reports came out. To say these attracted intense public interest would be an understatement. My computer looked like a slot machine as just the first tweet about the blockage of the Hunter Biden laptop story registered 143 million impressions and 30 million engagements.

But it wasn’t until a week after the first report, after Michael Shellenberger, Bari Weiss, and other researchers joined the search of the "Files," that we started to grasp the significance of this story.

What we found in the "Files" was a sweeping effort to reverse that promise, and use machine learning and other tools to turn the internet into an instrument of censorship and social control. Unfortunately, our own government appears to be playing a lead role.

We saw the first hints in communications between Twitter executives before the 2020 election, where we read things like:

Hi team, can we get your opinion on this? This was flagged by DHS:

Or:

Please see attached report from the FBI for potential misinformation.

This would be attached to an excel spreadsheet with a long list of names, whose accounts were often suspended shortly after.

A lot of Christians play the lottery and I don't think there is anything wrong with it because you are donating to Hospitals and Health care.
Of course, if you become addicted and abuse it, then it's a problem, but $2 a week is fine.

So let's say you won $30 million dollars (USD). As a Christian, what would be your responsibility in using that money? Should you give 10% to your church?
Or can you decide how to give 10% of it in your own way to God? Should you give your family members, relatives, extended family, long time friends, some money? How much? $10k each? Would you be greedy or selfish if only gave 10k or 20k to some close family? Some might think for $30 million, you should at least gives 100k to your relatives.

Would you donate half or more of it to God's Kingdom purposes? ie. Missionaries, church programs, outreach, funding Christian programs etc. Would it be sinful if you decided to invest half of it into stocks and real estate and other investments? Buy a new home for a couple million and a new SUV for 100k?

How would you go about honoring and giving glory to God with $30 million USD?

More proof that going Republican doesn't make for a successful business.

They obviously weren’t all on-board with all the Woke buzzwords and phrases being thrown around: Diversity, Inclusion, Tolerance, equity, social justice, empathy, blah blah blah! No, they let a bunch of old white guys run their company into the ground.

Let's hope corporate America actually WAKES up and focuses on hiring intelligent and capable people rather than just maintaining the status quo of perspective employee's skin tone, or favoring an employee who has sex with those of the opposite gender, or favoring men.

Colossians 1:24 Even as I write, I am glad of my sufferings on your behalf, as, in this mortal frame of mine, I help to pay off the debt which the afflictions of Christ still leave to be paid, for the sake of his body, the Church.✻

Uncovering the Age of Jesus' Disciples - What Exodus Reveals! Many people think of Jesus' disciples as old men with a stick and a grey beard. You want to take a few minutes and see from the Book of Exodus how old were these twelve disciples. This is still this way in the modern Hebrew Culture.

please pray for wisdom and for the truth to come out about a broken plate at work, or at least for the person who let me take the blame for it feel some guilt about it and say sorry. sigh. not fair.

Cannibalism implies here the actual chewing, swallowing, and metabolizing of flesh and blood either after or during the killing of a human being; at least, if we stick to definition #1.


Catholics do not do any of this in the Eucharist. Though Christ is substantially present—body, blood, soul and divinity—in the Eucharist, the accidents of bread and wine remain. Here it is important to define terms. When the Church teaches the bread and wine at Mass are transubstantiated into the body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ, we have to understand what this means. The word, transubstantiation, literally means “transformation of the substance.” “Substance” refers to that which makes a thing essentially what it is. Thus, “substance” and “essence” are synonyms. For example, man is essentially comprised of body, soul, intellect, and will. If you remove any one of these, he is no longer a human person. The accidents or accidentals would be things like hair color, eye color, size, weight, etc. One can change any of these and there would be no change in the essence or substance of the person.

In the Eucharist, after the priest consecrates the bread and wine and they are, in fact, transubstantiated into the body, blood, soul and divinity of our Lord, our Lord is then entirely present. Neither bread nor wine remains. However, the accidents of bread and wine (size, weight, taste, texture) do remain. Hence, the essential reason why Catholics are not guilty of cannibalism is the fact that we do not receive our Lord in a cannibalistic form. We receive him in the form of bread and wine. The two are qualitatively different.

To dive a bit deeper into this, I would suggest there are at least six reasons why the Eucharist and cannibalism are qualitatively, or essentially, different things.

1. In cannibalism, the person consumed is, generally speaking, killed. Jesus is not killed. We receive him in his resurrected body and we do not affect him in the least. In fact, he is not changed in the slightest. He changes us! This is far from cannibalism.
2. In cannibalism, only part of the victim is consumed. One does not eat the bones, sinews, etc. In the Eucharist, we consume every bit of the Lord, eyes, hair, blood, bones, etc. But again, I emphasize that we do so under the appearances of bread and wine. This is essentially different than cannibalism, which leads to our next point:
3. In cannibalism, the accidents of blood and flesh are consumed. One must tear flesh, drink blood, etc. In the Eucharist, we only consume the accidents of bread and wine. This is not cannibalism.
4. In cannibalism, one only consumes a body, not a person. The person and the soul of the victim would have departed. In the Eucharist, we consume the entire person of Jesus Christ, body, blood, soul and divinity. One cannot separate Christ’s body from his Divine Person. Thus, this is a spiritual communion as well as a physical consuming. We become one with Christ on a mystical level in this sacrament. This is far from cannibalism.
5. In cannibalism, one only receives temporal nourishment that is fleeting. In the Eucharist, we receive the divine life of God through faith and receiving our Lord well-disposed, i.e. we receive everlasting life (cf. John 6:52-55). This is essentially different than cannibalism.
6. In cannibalism, once one eats the flesh of the victim, it is gone forever. In the Eucharist, we can consume him every day and, as mentioned in #1, we do not change him one bit. He remains the same.

Final Thoughts

One always has to be careful when applying terms and concepts to God. Many people miss the mark with regard to the faith because they make the mistake of applying terms in a human way to God who is infinite. We could speak of Mormons who claim God, the Father, has a physical body because the Scriptures speak of God’s “back parts,” in Exodus, or “the hand of Lord,” the “eyes of the Lord,” etc. You’ve probably heard the classic rejoinder to these Mormon claims: “Psalm 91 refers to God’s ‘feathers and wings’. Does this mean God is some sort of bird?”

The error here, of course, is rooted in interpreting texts that were not intended to be used in a strict, literal sense, as if they were. “Back parts” have to mean “back parts,” right?

When it comes to the Trinity, some who deny this essential teaching will claim Christians are teaching God to be “three beings” because we say God is “three persons.” However, person, as it relates to God, does not mean there are three beings. There is an essential difference between “person” as it relates to God, and “person” as it relates to men and angels.

We could cite a litany of examples containing similar problems.

When it gets down to brass tacks, the nay-sayers who reject the Eucharist, and most specifically, those who accuse us Catholics of cannibalism because we say we “consume” the Lord in the Eucharist, body, blood, soul, and divinity, fail to understand what we actually mean by consuming the Lord. They end up objecting just as the unbelieving “Jews” of John 6:52, who said, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

If you are thinking about a cannibalistic blood-meal, he can’t. But if you understand, as Jesus said, “It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail, the words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life,” then you understand. The Eucharist represents a miracle confected by the power of the Holy Spirit.

God can do that.

[Are Catholics Cannibals?]

What are your thoughts on Catherine Doherty and the Madonna house? She is an Eastern Catholic, and a former Orthodox Christian, who is being considered for the Sainthood. Her husband was a Melkite priest. I read her book several years ago, and loved it.

Apparently, she was still very attached to Orthodoxy throughout her life.

Is it ok to ask for her intercession or to pray for her?

Thanks

Galatians 2:11-14 ESV


I am not going to go into the history behind this story but I am going to deal with the subject of hypocrisy, which is what this story is about. For this has to do with behaving one way with one group of people and then behaving a different way when you are with a different group of people. And it has to do with shifting beliefs and practices depending upon the group of people you are with and/or on their particular influence in your life and/or on your desire to be accepted by them or not. But this also has to do with denying the other people in order to be approved by those of greater influence.

Now, this is happening much here in America in today’s modern market-driven “churches” (businesses) because they want to attract the world to their gatherings, so they are compromising the truth of the gospel, and the whole meaning of “church,” and the character of Almighty God in order to make “church” and God/Jesus Christ and the gospel more acceptable to human flesh and to the ungodly of this world. Yet, they still call themselves “the church,” and they teach as though they are teaching the truth of the gospel, and as though they are doing the will of God.

Now what is happening much is that those who are living in sin are being approved and coddled (pampered, indulged) while those who are walking in holiness and in righteousness are being disapproved, spoken out against, falsely accused of wrongdoing, and characterized as judgmental, hyper-religious, fanatic, and/or legalistic. So everything is being turned upside down, for what is of God is being rejected while what is of the flesh of man is being embraced and accepted in the name of God. And lies are being spoken of as good while the truth is being spoken of as evil.

So, in order for “the church” to be acceptable to the people of the world they have compromised the Scriptures by removing many of them from their context and then making them say what the Scriptures do not teach in context. And from that they are teaching a false gospel of salvation which seems to be being approved by the majority of those professing faith in Jesus Christ. But in order to pull this off, they have also demonized the true gospel and its messengers so that people will reject them in favor of the lies. And that is working, for it is evidenced by what people are saying and doing.

For what most are teaching, it appears, is that we can profess faith in Jesus Christ, have all our sins forgiven, and now be guaranteed heaven as our eternal destiny, regardless of how we live. But that is not the message of the gospel that Jesus and his New Testament apostles taught us. For the truth of the gospel is that Jesus died on that cross that we might die with him to sin and live to him and to his righteousness. And he died that we might live for him and no longer for ourselves (1 Peter 2:24; 2 Corinthians 5:15,21).

Also the Scriptures teach that the grace of God, which is bringing us salvation, trains (instructs) us to renounce (say “No!” to) ungodliness and fleshly (worldly) lusts (passions) and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for our Lord’s return. So, the grace of God is not permission to keep living in sin habitually and deliberately, knowingly and consciously doing what is evil and against God and harmful to other humans. For Jesus Christ “gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works” (Titus 2:11-14; cf. Ephesians 2:10).

Now those who are doing wrong know that they are doing wrong, and yet many of them continue to do wrong even while professing faith in Jesus Christ and while confessing salvation from sin and eternal life with God. For God put within all of us the knowledge of him and his will and the knowledge of right and wrong, but many have chosen to do wrong and to not do right; to follow the ways of their flesh, and not the ways of God (Romans 1:18-32). And some of them will confess wrongdoing and will promise that tomorrow will be a better day, but then tomorrow comes and it is no different from yesterday, for they still continue in their sin while professing to be in relationship with Jesus Christ.

And the Scriptures call this kind of behavior being “double-minded,” which has to do with duplicity of character, pretending one thing while living another, promising one thing while delivering another, and willfully and deliberately deceiving people into believing what is a lie while they know the truth. But they tell them the lies in order to draw them in so that they can build their earthly kingdoms and while they knowingly promise them heaven as their eternal destiny while they know that they are sending them to hell. For many of these deceivers know what the Scriptures teach, in truth.

But Jesus said that if anyone would come after him he must deny self, take up his cross daily (daily die to sin and to self) and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to our old lives of living in sin and for self, we will lose them for eternity. But if for the sake of Jesus we die with him to sin and live to him and to his righteousness, then we have the hope of eternal life with God. And he also said that not everyone who says to him, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one DOING the will of God the Father who is in heaven (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

So, please study the Scriptures in their full context. Know what the Scriptures teach, in truth, and stop relying on other humans to tell you what the Scriptures say, for not everyone is telling the truth. Many wolves in sheep’s clothing are among us who are deceiving the masses into believing their lies. So test everything you read and hear against the Scriptures (in context), prayerfully, with a willing spirit to hear from God and to be taught the truth even if the truth contradicts what you were always taught.

[Matt 7:21-23; Matt 24:9-14; Lu 9:23-26; Rom 1:18-32; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14,24; Rom 12:1-2; Rom 13:11; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; 1 Co 1:18; 1 Co 15:1-2; 2 Tim 1:8-9; Heb 9:28; 1 Pet 1:5; Gal 5:16-21; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:5-17; 1 Pet 2:24; Tit 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-9; 1 Jn 2:3-6,24-25; 1 Jn 3:4-10; Heb 3:6,14-15; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2; Rev 21:8,27; Rev 22:14-15]

Oh, to Be Like Thee, Blessed Redeemer

Lyrics by Thomas O. Chisholm, 1897
Music by W. J. Kirkpatrick, 1897

Oh, to be like Thee! blessèd Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer;
Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

Oh, to be like Thee! full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wandering sinner to find.

O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer others to save.

O to be like Thee! while I am pleading,
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love;
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit me for life and Heaven above.

Oh, to be like Thee! Oh, to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

Throughout the prosecution’s questioning of the witness, a subtle insinuation was made that the words of Mike’s 'slippery slope' motion were so hurtful that they could cause harm to suicide-vulnerable members of the LGBT community.

(Campaign Life Coalition) — This report is a summary of day 5 in the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) tribunal hearing against Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) trustee, Mike Del Grande, who is being persecuted for his defense of Christian moral teaching.

Now, let me tell you something…

Day 5 was a doozy!

For a recap of the charges against Trustee Del Grande, click here.

This fifth day of hearings took place February 22 and focused on the testimony and cross-examination of TCDSB Ward 2 Trustee Markus De Domenico, one of Del Grande’s biggest detractors.

Is the witness credible?

Let me give you an idea about this ‘star witness’ for the prosecution…

De Domenico is one of eight heretical trustees on the board who voted – in complete violation of Catholic moral teaching – to fly the gay “Pride Flag” at every Catholic school in the board. This flag is a symbol of sexual lifestyles which Church teaching and Sacred Scripture have always regarded as sinful.

It was ironic to long-time TCDSB observers that De Domenico would be relied upon as a witness to testify truthfully about the complaints of misconduct against Del Grande.

Why would that be ironic?

I'm a Lutheran but rather consider myself a non-denominational Christian. So I don't hold any denominational teachings strictly. But there is one aspect of praying to the saints for intercession that baffles me. I know Catholics say that asking the saints for intercession is similar to requesting a friend to pray for you. Saints are alive in paradise and can hear requests from earth therefore it is acceptable to request for intercession.

Here are a few things I just can't comprehend and hope that someone here can better clarify.

1. We know for certain people who are saints like the disciples therefore invoking them are pretty much "safe" in prayers, but how sure are you when you invoke later, less well known and regional saints in prayer? Wouldn't it be presumptive about their afterlife status. I don't want to sound mean but how sure that these saints are even in paradise?

2. If we work on the basis that everyone in paradise is alive and in communion, why not just invoke relatives or friends who had passed away to intercede since they know us better? Or must intercession be only permissible by saints not regular believers? If only saints can intercede then wouldn't asking an earthly family member or friend to pray invalid?

And she was specific in the “you all” to whom she was apologizing – “Conservatives, Republicans, MAGA: I am so sorry.”

This is how important transparency is. Let the people see all of the recordings for themselves, and realize for themselves just how fake the "insurrection" narrative is.

Canada a nation stereotyped by being excessively apologetic and having the fondness of ending sentences with "eh?". However her elected leader Justin doesn't seem to embody much of the Canadian nature.

It is not a secret that recently leaked CSIS papers on the Chinese interference in Canadian politics have landed the ex-drama teacher in hot maple syrup (yup I'm going there). With the reveal, all the numerous past pro-Beijing stances that Trudeau made leave uncomfortable implications - how much and how deep he is in the pockets of the CCP? How much of Canada has he compromised to the Chinese regime? According to the leaked papers the Chinese assisted directly and indirectly the Liberal Party to secure political positions. They actively worked against the conservative party by way of misinformation and funding of oppositions. This is on the premise that the conservatives are hostile to the CCP and liberals are easier to sway. Typical political meddling stuffs if you ask me. I would do the same if I'm a spy.

Trudeau for his part has vehemently downplay the effects of the interference. He is more displeased that the leak happened to start with and have indicated that actions will be take to address the leak rather than the content of the leak. He treats foreign threats like minor inconveniences, a far tepid response to the truck drivers protest where he cavalierly uses Emergency Powers.

Now he is actively resisting inquiry calls into the foreign meddling. What a wonderful leader...

There is a saying: It may not happen tomorrow, but it will happen! Zephaniah 1:14, Ezekiel 33:33
People are becoming more and more apprehensive about the future, as we see a proliferation of natural disasters, with increasing political and economic problems, coupled with shortages of food and fuel.

But, the most obvious and dangerous flash point of concern is the Middle East. Most of the countries surrounding Israel are now in a unstable condition, with outright war in some. The very existence of the State of Israel in their midst is an anathema to them all. Psalm 83 lists the origins of those people who will conspire to ‘wipe out Israel as a nation’. When their attack commences, God will then answer the prayer of Psalms 83:13-18 Scatter them, my God, like thistledown, as a fire raging through the forest. Terrify them with Your storm winds, let them suffer disgrace and perish.

Many prophecies state how the Lord will act on this Day of His vengeance and wrath;

Micah 4:11-12 But now, many nations are massed against you, they say; Let Zion suffer, we will gloat over her downfall. They do not know God’s purpose; He has gathered them as sheaves for the threshing. Matthew 13:30

Psalm 37:13-15 The Lord will laugh at the wicked, their judgement is coming. They have prepared their weapons, but their weapons will pierce their own hearts.
Psalms 7:12-16, Joel 3:4

Isaiah 66:15-17 See: The Lord is coming in fire, bringing His retribution and anger. He will judge with fire and sword to test all mankind. All the wicked will die.

Deuteronomy 32:41-42 I will sharpen My flashing sword and take vengeance on those who hate Me.

Malachi 4:1 The Day comes, burning like a furnace, all evildoers will be as stubble, destroyed in a fiery blaze.

Isaiah 30:26-33 The sun will shine with seven times its normal brightness. On that day He will protect and save His people. See; the Lord Himself comes from afar, His anger blazing and His doom heavy. With fire, He sieves the nations for destruction. Ref: REB, some verses abridged.



There are many other Bible passages that describe this Day. What we can establish from them is:

1/ It is this event that takes people unawares – that ‘comes as a thief’. Much later, for the glorious Return of Jesus, we are given the exact times from certain events.

2/ It will be a worldwide event, of 24 hours duration. Isaiah 29:5-6

3/ The Lord will actually cause fire to destroy His enemies, by the means of a CME. Isaiah 30:26a

Their own weapons will contribute to their destruction, the heat flash and the intense electromagnetic pulse will make rockets and bombs explode on the ground. Psalms 7:12-16, Joel 3:4

4/ His Righteous people will be kept safe, in a short time –Isaiah 29:17, they will gather and settle in the new country of Beulah – Isaiah 62:4, Isaiah35:1-10, Jeremiah 31:7-14, Ezekiel 39:25-29

Philosopher Agnes Callard veils low motive in high virtue -- and in so doing, is only an extreme example of us all

Look, marriage is hard. I'm only weeks away from being officially divorced, a fate that I never imagined for myself, one that shocks and embarrasses me even now, almost a year since my wife told me she had filed, and one that I lived for most of the last decade trying to avoid, solely for the sake of our children. I'm not going to say that everybody should stay married for the sake of their kids, but my soon-to-be-ex-wife and I managed to sustain a modus vivendi that did not traumatize the children (or even disclose to them that their parents were in trouble), until she decided she couldn't bear it anymore. As I have said here before, I don't judge her for that decision. We both hung in there for a long time after the marriage had died, and though I've not talked to her about it, I feel confident in saying that we both did it to spare our kids the pain of divorce. (Fortunately, two of them were already adults at the time of filing, and the third is now 16.) I believe that under ordinary circumstances -- meaning, unless there is infidelity, substance abuse, physical abuse, or serious mental abuse -- husbands and wives should live sacrificially through unhappy marriage, for the sake of giving their kids stability. I accepted a lot of private pain over the past decade out of love for my kids, and wanting to protect them. I don't think I did anything remotely heroic. I think it's what moms and dads should do, period. Hear me clearly: I am NOT justifying accepting abuse, drug or alcohol abuse, infidelity, or things like that. I'm talking about accepting unhappiness, loneliness, things like that, at least till the kids are adults.

I say that as background for the contempt I feel towards Agnes Callard, a University of Chicago philosopher, and the colleagues who justify her scandalous behavior. In a New Yorker profile, we learn that she fell in love with one of her students, divorced her husband and father of her children three weeks later (with his consent), and ran around making philosophical justifications for what she had done, almost bragging about it. Eventually she and her lover, Arnold, married, and later they moved in with Ben, her ex-husband. Naturally, these philosophical types are Beyond Good And Evil, and petty bourgeois morality.
