If the glove was cut consistent with the cut on OJ's finger ... That clinches it.

The cops would've Not known of the cut finger & would've planted an uncut glove.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

Is War Immoral?
Larry Spargimino
August 16, 2021

Since earliest times there have been wars. In a fallen world of greed and selfishness what else do you expect? When Jesus comes back we are told, “… and in righteousness he doth judge and make war” (Rev. 19:11). If Jesus makes war we can safely conclude that all wars are not immoral. This is not a blanket approval of all wars—only just wars. So, when is a war just?

Christian thinkers have wrestled with this question. Some have said no war is just. They are not something that Christians should engage in. The right thing is “turning the other cheek.” We’ll address that in a moment. The consensus has been, however, that war must be avoided at all costs, unless there is no other way to deal with mad men like Hitler who, if not restrained, would bring unspeakable evil on the world.

Criteria For a “Just War”
There are five requirements that must be met for war to be considered just.

First, war must be declared by a legitimate government, not by an unstable, radical group.

Second, war must always be a last resort. Every other option has failed to bring a peaceful resolution of the problem.

Third, war must be for a morally-defensible cause, such as stopping military aggression of one nation against another, or a preemptive attack, as in the case of Israel striking an aggressor nation that is preparing to launch an attack. On June 7, 1981, Israel conducted a surprise air strike which destroyed the unfinished Osirak Iraqi nuclear reactor located eleven miles southeast of Baghdad. As could be expected, the attack was met with sharp international criticism.

Fourth, a just war must have attainable goals. A tiny island nation would be foolish to launch an attack against a superpower.

Fifth, a just war is one that is fought with great moral restraint. This means that winning the war is not the only concern. The end does not justify the means. There must be a sincere effort to avoid civilian casualties and the needless destruction of property. The focus needs to be a war against enemy combatants.

This brings up the question of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs)—nuclear, chemical, and biological warfare. Tactical nuclear weapons against military targets and deep underground bunkers are conceivably a justifiable part of a limited war. Many of the scholars who study the matter believe that megaton nuclear weapons are so destructive not only to the general population but to the environment as to render them immoral. They write that any weapon so destructive as to incinerate and obliterate whole sectors of the civilian population cannot be morally justified.

Dr. Normal Geisler, in his helpful book Ethics: Alternatives and Issues, writes: “The purpose of war is to deter the aggressor, not to destroy him completely. Its aim is to overpower not annihilate, one’s foes. For a war to be just it must envisage securing a peace which establishes with moral order some meaningful community in its wake. If this cannot be the reasonable anticipation of warfare, as it cannot be in total nuclear war, then allowing evil aggression would be better than total annihilation. Saving the race is more important than winning the war, whatever ‘winning the war could mean in that kind of situation’” (p. 176).

MOSES & TABLETS OF STONE

The last sighting of the Ark was before entering the temple of Solomon. It disappeared after Jerusalem was invaded by the Babylonians.
The last mention of the Ark is in the Bible Revelations 11:19. John sees the temple of heaven open up and reveal the Ark of the Covenant.
This is of course part of the mythological story. There is no real evidence that the character, Moses, existed.

IRAN'S REVENGE. A GESTURE.

How come Israel is considered more important than Ukraine? When missiles are fired at Israel, countries join in to shoot them down, but that doesn't happen over Ukraine. Also, warnings are given to Iran not to create a bad situation in the middle East. No warnings are given to Russia. Is it due to the west and USA being more afraid of Russia than Iran?

The Preppy Killer

I think he was a casual friend of Jennifer but has some dates with him prior to the murder...and Chambers did in fact date others...this was not a crime of passion or revenge heart beating ...I do not know if the parents ever met him...
There was a group of them that hung out at a certain bar in the neighborhood...so she was comfortable around him and her friends knew of him...at least they thought they knew him... wow
He actually was stealing from his friend's parents (while they had parties at the homes when parents were away) Chambers was part of a network of people that stole from others regularly...his drug use was probably what fueled this need too... shock

It sounds like a soap opera on TV...detective

The Preppy Killer

He was actually able to attend many preppy schools due to his mother's affiliation with the Catholic Church and the fact she was the nurse for many prestigious people some who are politically connected...Chambers actually had a play date with JFK Jr. wow
So his parents were not rich but were able to subsidize the cost of sending Chambers to good schools...
That is where the connection of the p*dophile priest comes into play...there is a feeling that the Preppy Killer was in fact a molestation victim by 'Uncle Ted'...
It also might give a reason why at such a young age, Chambers was using drugs and stealing as well as getting kicked out of multiple schools and poor grades...
'Uncle Ted' was declared unfit to stand trial at 93 years of age but he was reported numerous times but the powers that be stifled or silenced his detractors...sigh

One Belt and Road Initiative growing stronger

The US is facing grave risks in the wake of rising global geopolitical tensions and the nation’s domestic political polarization, Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase chief executive, has warned.

In an annual shareholder letter on Monday the CEO of the largest US bank cited large amounts of government spending and efforts by the Federal Reserve to shrink its balance sheet, as well as the Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Hamas war, as creating an environment that “may very well be creating risks that could eclipse anything since World War II.”
_______________________________________
The share of the Chinese yuan on Russia’s foreign exchange market hit an all-time high in March, the Bank of Russia (CBR) reported in its financial risk review on Monday.

Russia’s shift away from major Western currencies started with the US and EU sanctions imposed on the country over the Ukraine conflict. The financial restrictions made cross-border trade in euros and dollars more difficult and their presence on the domestic foreign exchange market less important.
_______________________________________
Vietnam is actively working on a bid to join the BRICS economic group, the Izvestia newspaper has reported, citing Hanoi’s embassy in Russia.

BRICS members Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa were joined by four more countries at the start of this year, when Ethiopia, Iran, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates formed part of a major expansion. Saudi Arabia has also been approved as a member but is reportedly considering final ratification of its accession.

China’s ‘incredible’ growth threatens American and EU economies – US trade chief
Beijing’s “non-market” policies should be rebuffed through appropriate “countermeasures,” Katherine Tai has said

She pointed to China’s high production of steel, aluminum, solar panels, and electric vehicles as specific causes of concern.

US officials have repeatedly labeled China as America’s top “competitor,” while tightening economic restrictions against the country. US tariffs on Chinese goods were hiked significantly under President Donald Trump, who launched the first volley in a tit-for-tat trade war that began in 2018. A similarly hostile approach has continued under his successor, Joe Biden, who has adopted several policies aimed at the Chinese economy.

A GOOD READ
The gold price has risen to a series of new all-time highs of late, a development that has received only cursory attention in the mainstream financial media. But as is the case with so much else these days, there is much more going on than meets the eye. In fact, the rise in the dollar price of gold is almost the least interesting aspect to this story.

For thousands of years, gold was the ultimate store of value and was synonymous with the concept of ‘money’. Trade was often settled either in gold itself or in bank notes backed by gold and directly exchangeable for it. Currencies backed by nothing but government decree – called 'fiat' currencies – have tended to eventually fail.

However, in 1971, gold found itself cast out of this ancient role when the US unilaterally suspended dollar convertibility into gold as enshrined in the Bretton Woods agreement that established the framework for the post-war economy. Shortly thereafter, in an act that medieval alchemists only dreamed of, gold was created out of thin air in the form of futures contracts, meaning bullion could be bought and sold without any metal changing hands – or even existing.

The collapse of Bretton Woods in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s – culminating in the gold window being shut in 1971 – was a messy period of transition, uncertainty, and instability. The dollar devalued and a fixed-rate system was negotiated and soon thereafter abandoned. But what was clear was that the US was steering the world away from gold and toward a dollar standard.

According to the World Gold Council, which attempts to track these covert purchases, central banks bought an all-time record 1,082 tonnes in 2022 and nearly matched that figure the following year. By far the largest buyer has been the People’s Bank of China, which as of this past February had added to its reserves for 16 straight months.

Nieuwenhuijs estimates that the People’s Bank of China bought a record 735 tonnes of gold in 2023, about two-thirds of which were purchased covertly. Meanwhile, according to his figures, Chinese private sector net imports totaled 1,411 tonnes in 2023 and a whopping 228 tonnes just in January of 2024.

Another aspect to this is that as BRICS countries increasingly trade in local currencies, a neutral reserve asset is needed to settle trade imbalances. In lieu of a BRICS currency, which may or not be forthcoming in the near future, Luke Gromen believes this role is already starting to be performed by physical gold. If this is the case, it marks the return of gold to a place of prominence in the financial system, both as a store of value and a means of settlement. This, too, represents a hugely important step.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

Matthew 24:14 says, “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come.”

Friends, this is happening right now. The Gospel is being preached all over the world—even in very hostile places. It is absolutely amazing. Hostile governments are trying to hinder and stop the growth of the Gospel. But listen—at the present time there are an estimated 150 million Christians in China, making them China’s largest religious minority. They are severely persecuted for their faith, but in spite of that their numbers continue to grow—and that’s under the anti-Christian, godless tyranny of President Xi Jin Ping.

In their book, A Star In the East: The Rise of Christianity in China, Rodney Stark and Xinua Wang ask an important question: “Why is there such phenomenal growth of Christianity in China?” They believe the growth of the church includes the better educated who are experiencing “cultural incongruity” between traditional Asian culture and industrial-technological modernity, which results in spiritual deprivation, which Christianity alone is able to answer.

Millions of Chinese are well-educated, think very carefully about lots of important things, and are diligent students of what they want to learn and study.

Stark and Wang explain that Eastern religions like Taoism and Confucianism are all “anti-progress” and proclaim the world is going downhill from a glorious past and that we should look backwards not forwards. For millions of Chinese, the question is “What does life mean and how do we live in the modern world?” The answers that the Bible provides explains why it is the most educated Chinese who are the most apt to join.

The rapid growth of Christianity across China terrifies the Chinese Communist to the point that drastic measures are taken to stamp out Christianity. Marx called for making government “god”—the provider, sustainer, protector and supreme lawgiver—and Marxism the state religion. Millions of Chinese are not being fooled.

As we close, I want to remind our listeners of the story of Noah and the Ark. It is a wonderful story of Almighty God, and His love. It also reminds us that judgment is coming, perhaps very quickly. We can learn two lessons. The first one: Don’t miss the boat. Those who did perished in the great flood.

Jesus is our ark of safety and salvation. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Don’t miss the boat.

There is another lesson in the account of the Ark—and it is this: For those who are faithfully serving the Lord and doing His will, there is always a rainbow at the end of the story.

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4

The astronomer and physicist, Sir Isaac Newton, who died in 1727, was a Christian. He loved Bible prophecy. Newton commented on Daniel 12, 4. He said, “Near the time of the return of the Lord Jesus Christ there will be an increase in knowledge. Men will travel at a rapid rate of speed, maybe even 40 or 50 miles an hour.

Voltaire, the hard-hearted infidel mocked Newton and said, “See, Christianity makes people who are normally brilliant turn into fools”. Doesn’t Newton know that if a man travels at 40 or 50 miles an hour, he would not be able to breathe and would suffocate? “Daniel was correct. “Knowledge shall be increased.” … Friends, as we look at the news, we should not just be gathering facts. We should be getting ready for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our first item focuses on George Soros. Does anyone know who George Soros is? He is the billionaire who hates Christianity and hates America. He thinks American sovereignty, freedom, belief in human dignity, marriage and the home are bad. Soros would like to see all the things that Christians believe and promote be abolished. So, what’s his political affiliation? In case you can’t figure it out, the answer is Democrat.

Newsweek, for 1979, quoted Soros: “I’ve made my life’s mission to destroy the United States. I hate this country and I hate all the people in it.” Soros believes that the United States is the main obstacle to a stable and just world.”

Just look at some of the candidates that Soros supports. He provided a second million dollars to boost Stacey Abrams’ gubernatorial run. Abrams, former member of the Georgia House of Representatives, has supported left-wing candidates like Beto O’Rourke, Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer.

The Epoch Times, for November 7, 2022, announced Soros tops list of biggest Donors This Midterm Season, gave $128 million dollars to elect Democrats. So, you are voting for candidates who are being supported by George Soros, whose great goal in life is to destroy America? If Soros succeeds, where will you move? They say the winters in Pyongyang aren’t too bad, but the temperature in your home or apartment will be regulated by the government. Don’t forget to bring your insulated underwear.

Moving on to another item of interest – Dr. Peter McCullough, world renowned cardiologist and epidemiologist—with 677 scientific publications to his credit—is facing loss of his board certification in cardiology and internal medicine because of his outspoken criticism 0f the COVID vaccine protocols.

In my book, Needless Death: COVID, Corruption, Control I cite Dr. McCullough several times. He raises a number of objections to the COVID vaccines, and also has a number of medical professionals who agree with him.

McCullough was recently interviewed regarding the charge that he is spreading “misinformation.” He said, “I can tell you this is unprecedented. We’ve never had a federal board like this, recommend that a doctor become decertified because of political reasons”.

After launching an initiative on COVID “misinformation” in September 2021, the American Board of Internal Medicine targeted statements McCullough made to the Texas Senate the previous March on media. In May of 2022 the board sent a letter to McCullough accusing him of spreading misinformation. McCullough crafted a 20-page response, citing the evidence for each statement he made, and requested that he be allowed to attend the meeting about his case. The board denied the request and sent him a letter informing him that the meeting had taken place and the board had decided to remove his credentials.

There is some good news, and that focuses on the growth of Christianity in Communist China.

And we can fix this by and by these two feeble attempts. We can't fix the outside circumstances and expect that to affect the inside. And I can't just play games and pretend like it's OK and hope that that's going to be enough to cover what's really going on in me. I need to get that work done on the inside. There's a solution. Praise God, there is, and his name is Jesus, and he will make you clean. You come to him in faith and you give him your life.

You will cleanse it all, but give him your give him your life. Jesus is a one time fix that also needs continual cleansing, new heart. But we still make mistakes as we learn to walk in this Christian life. When you scuff your knee, when you fall, when you make a mistake, just come back to Jesus again and again and again and you continue to wash and wash and wash the call for our friends who are watching who are unbelievers.

You haven't made a decision in your life to turn over your entire life to Jesus, to repent, understand and trust in him and his death and his resurrection from the dead. My call is simple to you tonight, friend. Come to Jesus tonight. Stop trying to fix yourself. Stop trying to pretend like everything's OK. Give him your broken heart and he will cleanse it and make it you trust in him and yield your entire life over to him.

Do that tonight, I pray. And then for Christians, apply this to your life. I pray understand who you were before he became a Christian. I hope this helps explain what happened as you became a Christian, but also shed some light on on why we have hardships and struggles as Christians. And this come to him continually, brother and sister, to be cleansed. And some of you watching us maybe do this now in the quality of your heart, you know that there's something in your life that's unclean, that's not pleasing to the Lord.

Bring that to him. Bring it to him. It's not going to chastise was a reason to cleanse you confess and repent in your heart now to him. And he will do that. And then I said that on the front end, when you're learning these things and you're loving people, help people see these truths and these realities. Our problems are on the inside, help people see this and help people see Jesus by telling them what he will do for them.

We pray. Pray with me, Father. I pray that we wouldn't treat what we've learned here tonight like a parallelogram. That it would become it would be useless information to us in our life. I prayed the total opposite. I prayed at this even now as as I'm speaking, as people are hearing your word and your true thought that lives are transformed, that people are raising their hands over in their hearts and more. I want to be made clean.

I want it so bad. Come, Lord, and have my heart have your way. I pray that to people right now, the spiritually hungry, the spiritually thirsty, the spiritually unclean of us who are watching right now, who believe by faith that you will do what you promised to do. Forgive us and give us a new heart and give us the Holy Spirit. Do that ministry work. I pray, Lord, do we pray, do it.

We pray and help us spread the good news of this, that our God loves sinners and he will take us and he will glorify your name. In this we pray. Jesus. Amen. Amen.
