So many ways to deal with this issue, but one is based on the Bible, and you know what that means, dear reader: 1 Timothy 5 stands out as a Guide for Older Christian Woman that can also be seen as "Having Lived Life According to God's Plan, What Does Her Last Days Look Like?" So how does this chapter apply to 'women in the military failing tests'? Well, first, it's logic-women's bodies are not meant to be involved in military activities, just like women do not play in major league sports of any kind with men. Can you name one? NFL? SEC football? golf? tennis? NBA? NHL? MLB? Someone does not get the Main Message of the Bible--men and women are differently abled. Men do not have babies, women do. The world is set against the Bible, so forget about trying to convince them we are right and they are wrong. It's like trying to convince blacks in the US to vote for President Trump in 2020. It's not going to happen! 99 percent of them will continue like mind-numbed robots to vote for anyone having a D after their name on their ballots. 2. Widows (also key theme in book of James where he says 'real religion' is caring for widows (not engaging in endless discussion of the Last Days of the Great Planet Earth-hey Hal, what's up with that?) should be taken care of by their own families. |

I wonder if the attendees were given any money or other things to attend. There are very few Christians in these countries where he is visiting, and I doubt he is going to raise the attendance level at any Catholic churches in the area. So you wonder--why does he go? I guess logic is something people forget in this day of world-connected-ness, where a house fire in Hoboken is reported on your 10pm TV nightly news, as if it affected the thousands who are watching. Notice how the weather folk have been droning on and on about that storm 'Sebastian' which has no impact on anyone in the US except for a few dozen cargo ship owners who might have a couple of their ships out there, and they certainly won't be watching the 10pm TV news to find out about their ships. It's the same way with those old PBS shows, "This Old House" which feature remodeling old houses, and spending millions of dollars on them, so much so that you wonder...why not tear down and build something newer, safer, less lead paint, less asbestos, less lead pipes, etc. Or the woodworking show that features tools that cost thousands of dollars, and workshops that only a few farmers with barns could hold. |

Yes, indeed, they are rare. I've read stats that show that homosexuals make up only 2 to 3 percent of the total population, but people persist in using the 10 percent number. Even their own publications say this is fiction. Many times promoters will get through the math by saying, if you had 100 people in a room, ten would be homosexuals. Wrong! It's more accurate to say, you have 1,000 people in a big room, say a basketball game, evenly divided men and women, you will find 2 percent of the 500 men to be sodomites. That's only 10 guys, and then among the women, 5 or less would be 'women who prefer women.' So that's only 15 out of 1,000, and oh, don't forget the bisexual and trans...well they make up even less, say 1 or 2. Now here's the Real Secret: What does Q stand for? Questioning...which means what? How can you determine who is questioning? Have you ever met a big hefty guy with a beard who says he is 'questioning' his identity? |

This reminds me of that verse in the Bible that says, of the writing of books there is no end. And that was in the days before Gutenberg invented the printing press! It seems that every time I turn on Christian radio to hear a program, it is about some author promoting their book. Of course, they act as if their book is the Latest and Greatest Thing since boiled peanuts or sliced bread. I wish I could find every book written in the past 50 years and sold in Christian bookstores, just to put catalog them to see how our culture has changed over the years. You could say that in the New Testament Days, there were disputes that appear in the Bible, like 'I am of Apollos' and 'No, I am of Paul, the Apostle' or another saying 'No, I am of Peter, who walked with Jesus' Didn't Paul tell in one of his letters that he wished 2 women would agree? Seems like complaining about church or doctrine or worship services seems to be part of the package! Makes you want to turn to the peace and quiet of those meditating Buddhists, except when you remember the news story you saw a couple years ago, where different groups of Buddhists were fighting each other in Burma (or Thailand?). |
