and then put the UN in there, the Synagogue of Satan of Rev 3, and the great powers of Islm and see not the same thing? Or the great end time Atheist States?

....those in control become the caretakers.

the idea of indl rght also means indl responsibility. the idea of a man owning land (that can be passed down to his children -- not taxed so it must be sold) means he can self provide through God's provision and his children will be under his care. a man that can pass down his property can grow fruit trees and develop unique and healthy breeds of animals for food, such as the forefathers of the bible did for their families and the forefathers of this nation and all societies through history.

those who would manage our rghts for us, in the end, see the lives as a burden to be gotten rid of...... like a forced marriage with a polygamist, who suddenly decides he doesn't like his wives anymore....

Frank brings up some interesting points, and I would say I halfheartedly agree.

In oppressive places, the Christian will often hide bibles, meet secretly to worship and the like. They do not loudly pronounce their disagreement (meaning their reluctance to worship the system and leave the Living God)

A shift in identity will take place among the remnant, and I would argue that many have already been on their knees, facing perseuction for years and being realigned in their identiy with Christ, coming out of "collectivist" identity....

we do not have to get permission to do what is right. that is Corrie did not go to NAZI headquarters and get permission to hide Jewish refugees in the wall behind her bed. She did not get permission to get ration cards for them either. Her family avoided services to the German NAZI.

then we see further down in the continent treacherous people like BH and with just a bit of reading find statements such as "it is hard to trace their funding" and "included machine guns mounted on trucks, anti-aircraft.."

but here we are supposed to be thinking of the poor gay homeless...... my thinking is that gov money will be given to making special places of respite for the gay community in need of food and shelter.
