I see the spirit moved us at the same time.

Praise to him.

The enemy is doing his best to divert God's warnings of judgment on the horizon by shaming the world into believing that their cars and such are the problem.

No... sir... it's sin. The end will still come at the appointed time.

Repent!

From what it sounds like, the Lord is separating you from the world. Count it all joy my brother. Always remember this about the Lord who preceded you-
Isiah 53:3
He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
So it's no surprise that his saints would experience the same as him. For we are being conformed into his image unto sanctification daily as we walked with him.
I'll tell you what, I'd rather have this than all the "friends" in the world. One things for sure when you experience the new birth... not many others have. And it's heartbreaking when you don't find hardly anyone else with the same joy. But it taught me not to find comfort in the flesh of others.

It's spiritual.

We are all born sinners.
Born with the temptation to lie.
Born with the temptation to steal.
Born with temptation to be sexually immoral.
Born with the temptation for idolatry.
And so on...

Do I have the excuse to give in?

God has provided the means of the way out through the new birth. Through the sacrifice of his son. Free for those who would lay hold of it.

Interesting you didn't have a comment on the news thread...

Blessings!

Here is what I don't "believe"-

- what the world teaches me according to "Higher Learning".
- that the earth is an almost insignificant speck that was formed randomly according to and dependant upon the sun coming first. Which is contrary to his word.
And many other things which I don't have the time or space to share at this time.

If we believe in sola scriptura, could we believe something contrary to his word according to what the world teaches?
I've never been up there. So who do I "believe"?

I believe in the word of God.

I suppose the Lord could defy physics for the event. Unless, of course, the earth was...(drumroll)
Flat?

If the earth is a circumference of 24,901 miles, and the Lord comes back(every eye will see him)above Jerusalem...

When an officer of the law tells you to "get on the ground" or "keep your hands where I can see them", and you won't comply, are you not putting yourself in a dangerous position? Is that not lawless? Police are just men and women like us. They have families they want to go home to. We live in uncertain times of lawlessness. We can't paint these situations with a broad brush based on what we see and hear through the media. None of us were present when these situations happened, so we can't draw conclusions. I believe it's irresponsible. Wouldn't you agree?
