Doug Casey makes the point that the so-called American Civil War was not a civil war fighting for control of the U.S. government, rather it was a war of secession. I'm going to start calling it the War of Secession. You've got to start calling things what they are. It could be argued that the American Revolutionary War was not really a revolution, it was actually a war of secession from the British Empire. Therefore, we could call it the first war of secession, which would make the so-called Civil War the second war of secession. The first war was successful, of course, and the second was unsuccessful.

@THEDAILYEAGLE got it right, and anyone who selected 😉 On the Mount of Transfiguration, in the land of Israel, Moses and Elijah appeared there with Jesus and three disciples. I believe it was partially symbolic that Moses was not allowed to lead Israel into the Promised Land /rest. Moses represented the Law/works, and God's point was to demonstrate that the Law and works (and thus Judaism), cannot get you the Promised Land /rest. Joshua, which is the same name as #Jesus in Hebrew, is the one that leads God's people into the Promised Land and rest. Joshua (Iesous/Jesus in Greek) is symbolic of Jesus, the Messiah, who would lead God's people the Promised Land. Then, and now, Jesus is the Way. View quoted note →

The U.S. is now in it's 4th (or 5th) Republic. This episode is a nice little history lesson. During World War I, and with the creation of the FBI, the United States became a police state. After World War II, with the creation of the CIA, the NSA, and the Pentagon, the United States became a national security state. With the passage of the Patriot Act, after September 11, 2001, the United States became a surveillance state...

I just saw a bumper sticker that read: "Drive carefully. There is no heaven." I might be more inclined to believe there is no heaven if there has never been anybody testifying to have seen it or been there. But we do have such testimonies. So I guess you just have to decide whether you will believe them or not.

Perhaps when a client onboards a new user it could suggest they post a message with #introductions or #intro or #newbie or something that could even put them in a list or algorithm of new users that be checked out and followed. Perhaps some client can offer a feed of new users based on some parameters of when they joined up to a certain amount of time. #nostr-ideas #grownostr View quoted note →
In my view, the #Bible is quite clear as to the divinity of #Jesus Christ. But I sympathize with how it can be confusing. Jesus did clearly say He was the Messiah, but we have no record of Him saying plainly He is God. But I believe that He indicated it indirectly, so that it could be seen by those who have eyes to see, and His apostles were very direct about it. View quoted note →
