US is at the edge of war, China expert warns

Ok,I'll bite. What gifts would that be? Name them.
I dont know your gifts. I spent alot of time as a christian, not knowing what my gifts were, and one day was convicted that I should know them, because we all have been given gifts of the Spirit. When you reject your gift, you are rejecting the power of God that would make you much more complete in the body of Christ as was intended.

So you gift is to assume ,either i have none,or not using them. Someone on the internet you have never met. I see quite plainly your gift buddy

My friend, the Holy Spirit is not limited by time and distance nor anything else, and Its Gifts are also unlimited. Discernment as an example, is not limited to just talking to a person directly. A person that uses their gifts commonly learns to recognize all sorts of things including knowing whether a person is speaking in the Lord or not even at a distance. They can also tell if a person has the gifts of the Spirit at a distance there are many other things that discernment can do you don't even have to be there but you already know because the spirit lets you know.

The Centurion who approached Jesus on behalf of his servant. Had an inner knowledge of understanding Jesus. I suspect that the Holy Spirit opened his mind to the understanding, that Jesus did not need to be present to heal his servant.

Jesus recognized, of course, that the Holy Spirit reached out to this Centurion and the Centurion had received It
 
You're wrong and no, you didn't "sense" anything. I don't get angry easily nor as often as I used to. Long story short, but I thank God for that constantly.
I can "love" my enemy and still do what He commands. Protect others and self from harm.
  • Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. Psalm 82:4
  • God and the Bible never forbids self defense or defense of others. They do not encourage/promote violence either.
  • Kill is not the same as murder. Kill can apply to any living thing so that word isn't proper with regard to commandment 6. Murder is more accurate as murder ONLY applies to humans despite how some feel about the lower creatures.
  • America isn't the first country to be hated and have enemies of course. We know a lot of the world hates us (another topic) and Christians and they've (Muslims largely) have no problems threatening or killing a non-Muslim.
  • Jesus foretold that his disciples would need to defend themselves against accusations, even noting that the Holy Spirit would aid them in their defense (Lk. 12:11-12). And the apostle Paul found himself regularly defending himself (Acts 22:1; 24:10).
  • As Christians we are called to value the image of God in the lives of others even as we protect the weak and vulnerable (Ps. 82:3-4; Prov. 31:8-9; Isa. 1:17; 1 Tim. 5:8). In some cases the defense of the weak may require intervention with an attacker.
  • Ultimately it is the Wisdom we get from God and the goal of NOT killing another but realistically the odds in this day and world is going to be a lot higher.
IDK if you have family but their well-being surpasses all others. God set up a hierarchy and bad people reject it. God - Self - Spouse - Children - Parents - Siblings.
1 Timothy 5:8 "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."
I can't feel sympathy for someone when I haven't experienced what they have. Empathy is understanding....what a person goes through. Big difference between the two words.
If I willingly lived as a weak, doormat, pacifist Christian and let myself be killed then my family would largely be left defenseless among other things.
Don't assume anything. I've learned to hate a lot less but by definition some people who are alive ARE too far gone and the wellfare of us is priority.
God doesn't like last second confessions either. They're never sincere and only done out of fear.
 
LOL, I assume you are assuming my assumption?

The gift of discernment told me youre a nut
 
China, North Korea, Russia, Iraq are enemies of the people and the world. Very much need to make sure they don't start a war. As the US needs all the help that they can get. They can't do it alone should it come to that.

That is 100% propaganda nonsense.
It is Europe and the U.S.A. that rule the world and exercise brutal political and economic hegemony and exploitation of the Global South.
Colonialism and racism have ruled unabated for some 500 years now.
The American empire continues the same modus operandi of extracting resources from impoverished countries and keeping the rest of the world in their place.
The U.S.A. simply bombs, assassinates, invades and makes war with anybody who objects to U.S. dominance or seeks to use their resources to benefit their own people.
Example: the past president of Ecuador (which has vast lithium deposits) declared a new economic policy for Ecuador to manufacture lithium batteries in Ecuador.
This is referred to as 'value adding' and would be an enormous economic boost for an impoverished nation.
What happened? The U.S. government and the CIA instigated a "popular" rising and opposition to this troublesome president and he had to flee to Mexico for political asylum.
A new pro-U.S. government took over and amazingly Ecuador does not process lithium on site into batteries, but sells lithium at quarry prices to Tesla and Apple, etc.
We can see the same political bigotry being used against China.
Asians simply cannot be permitted to outgrow economically and develop over and above what the U.S.A. deems as second place to herself.
China has no interest in going to war against far away nations like Australia or the U.S.A. but we see and hear in Washington a rising crescendo of voices
calling for war against China in order to "constrain" China's economic development.
Who has invaded and bombed numerous nations since the 1960s ?? America.
 
Greetings,

not wanting to 'take sides' either in this discussion on this thread OR with this nation or that..... but,

China, North Korea, Russia, Iraq are enemies of the people and the world.
i think these nations are amongst the few, these days, that uphold sensible stuff {truth} like 'there are ONLY two genders.

How strange the world must look from the outside.
Nations which in recent history have been very against the Bible and it's adherents, standing up for what is in the Bible, while supposed nations which in recent history claim to be for the Bible, toss the truth of things like gender out for corrupt and filthy thinking???

Those who are His are strangers and pilgrims.
This is not our home and we seek a continuing city.
In the world but not of it.

Give thanks to God and do all things for His glory and let those who fight and argue and endlessly debate against each other do their things until one day when they might taste and see that the LORD is good and repent... before it is too late.


Bless you ....><>

It's all propaganda not just what you said about the countries but everything. It has nothing to do with the individual countries it has to do with the people that are called globalists. Who want to reduce the world's population by about 2/3 or more. Those who have wealth Beyond their means, up in the billions hundreds of billions of dollars. These are the individuals that are becoming the globalist of the future

... and Bill, what you've written here is a heady mix of propaganda and scaremongering conspiracy speculation. What led you to the belief that globalist billionaires want to reduce world population by two-thirds?

Their own words
 
Can you name the people and say what sources are you using? I'll happily look into it.
This is freely available on the internet and many a good political commentator has exposed the desired genocide by the ruling elites
to minimise the world's population to a declared sustainable 500,000 humans.
Most GREENS political parties have in their political manifestos the stated policy for the need to lower the world's population in order to save the planet.

You could start with the infamous Klaus Schwab - "you will have nothing but be happy" - of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
And of course there is Bill Gates and his many statements about world population, vaccinations, and the next worldwide pandemic that is coming.
Climate change and global warming are also two strategic excuses used by those who want to save the planet just for themselves - we must all
learn to eat bugs and give up meat, do without and make sacrifices in order to save our planet.
These sacrifices are to be made by us the peasants while the uber rich and powerful give up nothing.
They will still enjoy their private jets and swimming pools.
