1. The Radicals. 2. Moderates afraid to oppose the Radicals. 3. The Dead.
Perhaps the lack of media coverage of Moderate opposition is an attempt to extend their Earthly sojourn. Sorta like not exposing those in the Witness Protection Program. Or not revealing the identity of undercover police officers.
DANG, Wallops A set of steak knives & your blog is only half way to the first page advertising thingy!! Might be a new record! They'll probably give ya toaster for that!
Mimi-or-Dream-or-Whoever is gonna be mega jealous. She's been tryin' to wrangle a toaster for months. Like in Malaysia ya need something to make stuff hotter!
The Minnesota law forbidding mingling the unmentionables of the se×es is a FACT, Wallops! It goes back to the days of the "blue laws" & was even used as a question on a nationally televised game show...much to the embarrassment of Minnesotans.
There does, indeed, seem to be some 5th dimensional goings on in dryers, Ken. I've also experienced the mysterious return of a long lost sock.
It might have something to do with imminent takeover by the New World Order. Or perhaps when contact with beings from another world/dimension finally occurs, it won't be by a UFO landing at the U.N. or a message received by SETI, but an invading army of greys emerging from the world's clothes dryers.
I get 'em in muti-packs...all the same. So every sock matches every other sock...no need for matching! Following the "partnering" line of this blog, I guess my socks have a partner swap party in the washer/dryer... Let the good times ROLL...er...SPIN!!
Judas "acting bad" The betrayal was prophesied in the Old Testament. By fulfilling his part of the prophecy, might it not be said he actually did well...as Jesus is thought of as having done well fulfilling His part in prophecy? Would Judas have "done well" by NOT fulfilling the prophecy, assuming he had the free will to be able to do so?
Again, where does that leave the rest of us? The Old Testament prophecy against Tyre was fulfilled by the actions of Alexander the Great. When Alexander was fulfilling that prophecy, was he exercising his own free will...or was he being manipulated by the "Puppet Master"?
And wouldn't that same question apply to us all, fly?
Another possibility - Do some of us have free will and lead self-determined autonomous lives?... And others of us are consigned to live a life pre-determined to the smallest detail?
If so, which life course is preferable over the other?
Agreed Eks And those were the questions those Ancient Greek playwrights were grappling with...as we on this blog are doing today. conversing::conversing: I would seem a definitive answer that would finally settle the matter is quite elusive, would it not?
I come from North Dakota, State of U.S.A. And it looks absolutely delicious to me! Asian cuisine... I'm especially fond of spicy hot Chinese or Thai dishes.
Sounds like a study guide intrduction for Ancient Greek tragedies Eks. Oedipus Rex...Antigone.
Predestination (Calvinism) vs. Free Will... A Presbyterian was driving his wagon along a road and meets a Quaker driving his wagon in the opposite direction. As they approach one another, the Presbyterian shouts, "You see, Quaker, it was fore-ordained that we pass one another on this road today!" The Quaker shouts back, "If that is the case...we won't!" And he turns his wagon around.
(And yes...I know that's not the meaning predestination in Calvinist theology. That's just the way the joke goes...live with it! )
"And the wall of the city (new Jerusalem) had twelve foundations, and in these the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." Revelation 21:14 KJV
So...who is the twelfth apostle?
Matthias?...who was elected by the others to replace Judas. His only mention in the Bible was that he was "elected" - by men - to fill the office of an apostle. And that before Pentecost, when the Spirit was given to the Church.
Paul? Perhaps. He would seem a more likely possibility than Mathias.
Or is Judas - one of the twelve chosen by Jesus - restored to his office of apostle; his act of "betrayal" being a necessary part of the redemption. Which was God's plan, and no "mistake" was made.
Perhaps title shouldn't be "Should We Be Afraid?" but... "Of What Should We Be Afraid?"
Thanks for a most thought-provoking & informative blog. I only wish to high heaven this could've gotten infinitely greater circulation than a short-lived & little-viewed CS blog.
