Beware the Twitter Seeker

‪Normally when people ask a theology question on twitter either 1- they’re looking for an argument or 2- they’re looking for a homework answer. If you’re really interested, read theology. I can recommend enough material to keep you busy for a year. And, do your own homework‬

That’s Nothing, France- We’ve Paid Congress For Over 200 Years and It Has Done Nothing

But make life miserable for everyone but the wealthy.  So, France, the people of America say of your complaint, ‘hold our beer’.

A regional authority in the south of France paid some 30 civil servants to do nothing for more than 25 years, it has been revealed.

French taxpayers have been spending more than €1 million (£897,000) a year to pay full salaries to the “phantom” bureaucrats, despite at least one of them being in full-time private sector employment.

An official report by the Provence-Alps-Riviera Regional Audit Office disclosed that others benefited from automatic promotions and pay increases based on seniority or length of service.

Gun Nut Shoots At Fleeing Suspect, Misses, and Hits an 11 Year Old Girl

An 11-year-old was struck by [sic!] bullet intended for a person who fled a traffic stop on the city’s near northwest side Friday evening.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department says when officers conducted a traffic stop in the 2900 block of Barnes Avenue, one of three occupants fled on foot. Police chased on foot after the suspect, who ran through a house.

According to IMPD Captain Dulin Nelson, a neighbor saw the suspect and thought he was a robber, so he fired a shot at him, but missed. Nelson says the bullet traveled across the street, into a residence and struck the child.

The child was transported to Riley Hospital for Children in “stable condition.” She was treated and has since been released.

All three suspects were taken into custody, according to Nelson.

The person who fired the shot is being interviewed and is cooperating with investigators. No charges have been filed at this time.

I hope the family sues Mr Gun Nut for everything they can.

In 1998 The Southern Baptist Convention Adopted this Resolution

“Resolution on Moral Character of Public Officials”

That document’s key statement: “Tolerance of serious wrong by leaders sears the conscience of the culture, spawns unrestrained immorality and lawlessness in the society, and surely results in God’s judgment.”

Funny how the fake Christians of today who call themselves Evangelicals no longer believe such a thing.

With thanks to Yancy Smith for the reminder.

As Millions Of Evangelicals Prepare to Worship America this Sunday…

In a quiet, solemn moment Friday afternoon, local churchgoer Grant O’Neill took a few minutes to prepare his heart to give glory and honor to the United States at his church’s exciting Independence Day service this Sunday.

Knowing that he would be attending the upcoming patriotic service, O’Neill spent some time in quiet reflection over the state of his heart, so he’d be spiritually ready to give the U.S.A. his all on the Lord’s Day.

“Lord, as I prepare to attend my church’s Independence Day Bonanza this Sunday, I just pray that I would decrease and that the United States would increase, as I just learn to love America above all else with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my strength,” he prayed to himself. “Let all distractions fade away. I know that as I gaze upon the American flags draped all over your house of worship, the things of earth will begin to grow strangely dim.”

O’Neill further prayed that the Lord would help him to be well-rested and refreshed on Sunday morning, so he could “really belt out” the lyrics to “America the Beautiful,” “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue” along with the choir.

As millions of Evangelicals prepare their hearts to worship America, Christians will be worshiping God.

Oligarchy

If you ever needed proof that the USA is an oligarchy you need only look at the #scotus decision on gerrymandering. Democracies have non partisan non politicians draw election maps.

Listen Up

‘Yahweh Sabaoth says this. He said, “Apply the law fairly, and show faithful love and compassion towards one another. Do not oppress the widow and the orphan, the foreigner and the poor, and do not secretly plan evil against one another.”

But they would not listen; they turned a rebellious shoulder; they stopped their ears rather than hear; they made their hearts adamant rather than listen to the teaching and the words that Yahweh Sabaoth had sent — by his spirit — through the prophets in the past; and consequently the fury of Yahweh Sabaoth overtook them.

And so, since when he called they would not listen, “I would not listen when they called”, says Yahweh Sabaoth, “but scattered them among all the nations unknown to them. Hence, after they had gone, the country was deserted, and no one came or went. They had turned a land of delights into a desert.” ‘ (Zech. 7:9-14)
