There are people who could have and should have acted days or weeks or months in advance with regard to this demented shooter. But they didn't. Many simply affirmed the dementedness. Minnesota officially affirms it all. But as Willy Nelson says, 'That s&*^ Ain't Right'.

The demented shooter had to take his own life because nobody else was available to shoot back. Some of that was timing. It all happened faster than anyone could reasonably react. BUT the shooter knew he had picked a soft target where nobody would be shooting back. That was cowardice on the part of the shooter but also on the part of the defenders.

“The opposites always balance one another—good and evil, beauty and ugliness, love and hate, spirit and matter. Heaven and hell are born together. The dissolution of opposites is the precondition of the highest consciousness.”

Colo you think upon the Ying & Yang concept. In some ways they do agree. As with femininity and masculinity they do melt into one along with Beauty the Beast. As to Light and darkness proceeding from the same source as an equal balance. I would say no . For there is no darkness within the God. For God is light. God can never be associated with evil though he may use evil for whatever purpose of his choosing.

From the viewpoint of Revelation 21:8 it seems to be. But fear itself is not a sin. Each of us can have fear. But letting that fear stop us from doing what it right it not good.

My dad and sister are unbelievers, your post made me think, i have the courage to preach to them no problem, the thing is am trying to find the opportune moment, also myself, even when i don't sin much, i am not an example, so i fear they would just say 'you preach but your life is a disaster'

Our lives must reflect what we believe. If not, then when we speak our word can be tainted.
Also, when speaking to those closest to us, we do need to be careful. If we try to tell them the Gospel too often, they may think that we are like a dripping tap and it could get really annoying. So, in this instance, tell them the Gospel, then after this, don't continue but be a blessing to them and let your life reflect love and truth. This way, they will see your good deeds and wonder why you so adamantly believe.

But didn’t they redact everything about Trump?

Cops working on weekends?
Is there nothing that President Trump cannot achieve!?

Funny how the “law &order” crowd never seems to desire that the President and his minions underlings also stay within the bounds of the law.
And the left ‘persecutes” him for it; ever the hero, ever the victim.

Your point was?

You are straying from inspired scripture. Neither Jung or Rilke are inspired reading.

Annoying how people have this tendency not to read just one book.

I think that's what they call "literacy".

Ah well. I can proof text with the rest of them:

Matthew 5:44 — “But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”

Romans 12:20–21 — “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink… Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

1 John 4:18 — “There is no fear in love. But perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.”

Psalm 103:13–14 — “As a father has compassion for his children, so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him. For he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.”

Ezekiel 16 (the abandoned infant parable): Israel is pictured as a helpless child “thrown out into the open field… you were naked and bare,” and God says, “I passed by you and saw you kicking about in your blood, and I said to you, ‘Live!’”

Mark 5:1–20 (the Gerasene demoniac): A terrifying, possessed man lives among tombs. Yet when Jesus confronts him, what surfaces is not power but desperate helplessness (“What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High?”). Healing comes not by destruction but by restoration.

Luke 23:34 — “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Even those committing a terrifying act (crucifying Christ) are revealed as fundamentally blind, helpless, and in need of love.

Renaming seems fitting since war is one of our key exports occupying so much of our budget.

So, are you saying that our Lord isn't God Incarnate? Now that's heretical!

I don't believe being coward is a sin, the problem it doesn't let you obey God if you are coward.
When i was a teen, i was weak maybe coward, but the harshness of trials and what not, made me more brave.

Your point being?

Jesus is God Incarnate.
The Blessed Virgin is His mother
Ergo, The BVM is the Mother of God

Let’s be crystal clear: there is no theological reason why one needs to support modern Israel. BIBLICAL ISRAEL ≠ MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL CONFUSING THE TWO HAS CAUSED IMMENSE HARM. IT'S TIME TO READ THE BIBLE FAITHFULLY.

Click to expand...

Yes there is. Israel was a nation of God's people and still is. Many of them have and will reject him, but they still remain the nation of God's people chosen to bring about the messiah. God promised they would be a national again and a nation they are. Yes read the Bible faithfully. Supporting Israel is good. It also doeant mean Israel can do know wrong. Reading the Bible faithfully is proof of that. But God's promises are faithful even when we are faithless.

So its fine to criticize Israel for things you dont agree with. But criticizing them for certain things also doeant mean they were wrong to do those things. Its your OPINION. I don't believe that Israel has done everything right in every circumstance. But I will defend them if believe they have done okay. Every Israeli soldier and commander have most likely not done right in some circumstances. No country has every prosecuted a perfect war no matter if the war was justified.

In this case this IS a just war. And I support them prosecuting it despite mistakes individuals might make.
