Refreshing shall come ??? Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; It is interesting that I hear many sdas say that our sins are being blotted out right now.... but according to this scripture, our sins will be blotted out when the refreshing comes which is the latter rain...1 point -

I can agree that our President is not well spoken. I do not believe he is intentionally a "hater" or intentionally "stirs up hate". He is not a smooth talking politician. I'm glad for that. He is the strongest supporter of right-to-life in US history. (More black women seek abortion than women of any other race.) He believes in a free market economy with limited government restrains, not a government controlled economy (that's socialism). His policies have brought about the highest employment in US history for Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians (Yup. Really racist.) I do see a lot of outright hate coming from many of the other party. I have never seen a President so hated by one side, and so supported by the other. Personally, I believe the Russians, Chinese, N. Koreans, and Iranians would love to divide us, and I believe they are meddling to stir up the hate. China absolutely wants to see Trump defeated. The tariffs would go away, and they can get back to their plan to become the dominant military and economic force in this world. I personally would like to see our economy weaned from China, just like it has been weaned from Middle East oil. I AM for immigration. I am not for "open borders" or un-limited, un-monitored, un-regulated immigration. Germany tried that with Middle East war refugees. The people of Germany now regret that policy. What should we Christians do for the thousands of poor people stuck at the border? Should we feed, clothe, and house them - on the Mexican side of the border? And treat their illnesses? If we did so, would that not attract thousands and thousands more? That is what has happened in West Coast cities. The tent cities grow and grow and grow - because the word is out. Now rats are infesting and disease will surely follow. There is a point where more sympathy is more hurtful than helpful. It is difficult to know where that point is. Those who want regulation and order, are called heartless, or hateful, or racist. Those who want open borders are called naive or blind. Both accuse the other side of using the border crisis for political gain. I see this country descending into chaos, brought on by those seeking power and control. Only the return of Christ will end it.1 point -

Mark 13:11 "But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit." Matthew 10:19 "But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 "for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you." The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God the Father.1 point -

Joe: This is not true because there are a large group of Republican Conservatives that are not happy about the way that their party is acting. A large group of Democrats do not like the things that their party does also. I personally do not agree with my party when he comes in conflict with YAHWEH'S Law! The party does not save me YAHSHUA saves! There are times you must separate yourself from your party which comprise of other people. Most views that are civil is one thing and that I render to Cesar but when it comes to anything that goes against YAHWEH, I will always render to THE ALMIGHTY! Here is the problem when religion gets involved with politics that becomes a problem. The church and the state is suppose to be separate! Our Constitution clearly states freedom of religion, so why do people want to go against the law? Here it shows that man will not get YAHWEH'S Law then it proves they don't want to get their own laws of the land. When we all are allowed to understand America was not founded on one group of people's religion. Some want to believe that and want everyone to act and believe like they do. This country comprises of many different people of all types of ethnic groups and many different types of religions. Everybody today worship and call their Supreme Being God today. Yet, there is a few groups that accept the SACRED NAMES! There are people who call themselves Evangelicals in both parties. There are Protestants in both parties, their homosexuals in both parties. Each religious groups in these parties are different. When come to salvation you cannot go on any parties views, if you believe in the Bible and accept it completely; then you must follow its guideline. He stop Paul from persecuting period. Nowhere did you see where the Bible after Pau tell anyone to kill someone in THE NAME of YAHSHUA of for HIS CAUSE! YAHSHUA said stand still HE will fight our battles! In Matthew Chapter 24 YAHSHUA SAID; that HIS people at the beginning of sorrow will be afflicted by many nations for HIS NAME sake! That has been done. He all describe the times we are living in days that love will wax cold. You said; "Progressives" or "socialists"; just like everyone will know which Party folks are talking about when they say "racists", "fascists", "homophobes" or "Islamophobes." And I know what party is Progressives. So does these words that people says about your party identify you as a child of THE KING! Because my party does not identify me, as I said I make my choice! If someone in my party says harmful things or incite others to do wrong I WILL NOT GO ALONG WITH IT, I OBEY YAHWEH rather then man or party! You mention Chicago, many times people in both parties over the years have wanted to take care of the crisis there. But here is the problem Joe, the next door neighbors gun laws. Trade shows and illegal gun smuggling is a major problem. But no ones want to talk about that. Killing is still killing but mass murder due to hate or your color is even worst. That man in La Vegas did not care about color. He just wanted kill a lot of people because he could. He killed White people his own just like the gangs in Chicago kills Blacks their own ethnic people! You said; "It's to bad we can't just put politics and political correctness aside and simply ask ourselves what Jesus would have us do; and obey Him." Joe, I have put politics aside, when either ones goes against YAHWEH WORD and Law! You don't have to ask, you should already know! It is not about a party anymore when anyone incite people to commit mass murder. That Joe is a sin in the worst way, you know why? The one who incite wants to rule and deceive like Satan. He gets other to do his dirty works. He stirs up the crowd to a frenzy and many are ready to kill people. It does not matter what party people are being murdered from both parties don't you see that? El Paso had both parties living there! Dayton had both parties, people who came to the festival were of both parties. I will say this loud and clear Independents, Republicans, Democrats all work and live around each other. So if you hating people I do you know what party they are with and who cares! It is all about your skin color and that it! Please wake up and see he didn't ask "hey are you a socialist, or Islamic, or Catholic, or Protestant, Evangelical, homo, or anything like that! No he saw people mostly Hispanic and some are White! He didn't care it was they were immigrants to him and they were not to him White people! He killed a White girl who was married to a Hispanic guy! HE JUST DID NOT CARE! The same in Dayton and California. Finally, people in NY heard a motorbike backfired and thought it was gun, they were horrified and begin a mass running last night! It happen in another state too, but I can't remember. I see beautiful Hispanic people in my store last night as I always do. I was at Walmart and I was nervous and told them as we said together be safe! There is a lot of Asian people in LaGrange Georgia where I shop and they two were in the store. It is not about a party but it has do when people make choices that goes against YAHWEH, what will you do? Marrian!1 point -

People who quote John 14:16 to prove a third divine person, quote only the one verse. They don't quote the entire passage. John 14:16 "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever-- 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." (NIV) The other Advocate would be Christ Himself, as spirit, who would come to be "with" and "in" His sheep. The key is in the last words. "I will come to you." Paul spoke of "Christ in me, the hope of glory." God sent forth the spirit of His Son "into your hearts". Jesus said that both He and His Father would come "into" those who loved Him. How? As spirit. "The last Adam has been made a life giving spirit." (1Cor 15:45). Christ has been made the Spirit with us and in us, to comfort us, to bring everything to our minds that He once said, to take of what is the Father's and show it to us. I believe Jesus is here speaking of His future glorified SELF - His future glorified self as "spirit". He spoke of Himself in third person on other occasions too. Called Himself "the Son of Man", and used pronouns "he" and "him", when He was clearly speaking of Himself. The "other" Paraclete would be "the spirit of His Son" which God the Father would send forth. God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" (Gal 4:6 NKJ) As for lying to the Holy Spirit, if "God" IS the Holy Spirit, then one has "lied to God". You say "the Holy Spirit is God". I say God is the Holy Spirit. Is there a difference? If you touch my arm, you touch me. You can't separate my arm, from me - except surgically. My arm is part of me. Same with the Spirit of God. His Spirit is Him. You can't separate God and His Spirit. His spirit is His presence. Consider the "unpardonable sin". Matthew 12:32 "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come." There is no mention of speaking a word against the Father. He is missing in this warning. Or is He? If the Holy Spirit IS the presence of God the Father with us and in us, then a word against the Holy Spirit is a word against God the Father. Is "the Spirit of Christ" different somehow from "the Spirit of the Father" ? I don't think so. To have One, is to have the Other. My own theory of how this works: Jesus came as the physical presence of His Father, so that men could "see" His Father. Now the Father comes to us "as" His Son. To experience the presence of the Father "in" the heart, is to experience Christ. Jesus said the "other" would come "in my name". Jesus came in His Father's name. After Christ was glorified, His Father "came" in Christ's name - representing His Son's presence with us/in us. This is how we have BOTH the Father and His Son, "with" us and "in" us. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him." (NKJ) I see no third being here. Only God our Father and Christ His Son.1 point -

Acts 5, 3-4: But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and by fraud keep part of the price of the land? Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God We know this is another Person apart from the Father & the Son - because: John 14, 16: And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever John 14, 26: But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you1 point -

5 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Lucille Ball_4 Lucille Ball was born on August 6, 1911. One of America's most beloved comedians, Lucille Ball is particularly known for her iconic television show 'I Love Lucy.' Here are five things you didn't know about Lucille Ball... I Love Lucy Featured the First Interracial Couple on TV Much has been made over Star Trek's interracial kiss, but the true trailblazers were Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Back in 1951, Ball and Arnaz formed the first interracial couple on U.S. TV. Ball was initially told not to include Arnaz because viewers supposedly wouldn't support a white woman married to a Cuban man. However, Ball was adamant that Arnaz play Ricky Ricardo, issuing a both-of-us-or-none-of-us ultimatim. Ball and Arnaz got their show — and no one really cared about ethnicity or race. Other than gentle ribbing about language issues or in-laws, the show presented Lucy and Ricky Ricardo as your almost-average couple, and viewers adored them. Fun fact: Star Trek was produced by Desilu — Ball and Arnaz's own production company. Ball Got Involved in TV Because She Couldn't Break out of B Movies Ball had some illustrious co-stars in her early days, including Katharine Hepburn. But overall, Ball was stuck in B movies, even earning the nickname, "Queen of the Bs." Because she had such a hard time advancing in film, she and Arnaz turned to television to try to make their mark. They turned out to be, of course, a wild success. More Than 1 Million Viewers Sent Gifts When Ball/Ricardo Gave Birth Ball's real-life and televised pregnancy and broadcast-day-of-delivery birth are rightfully known as ground-breaking events in television. The reaction was just as awesome; when Ball gave birth to Desi Arnaz Jr., whose counterpart on the show became Little Ricky, viewers sent in gifts galore — almost 1 million viewers, that is. It certainly sounds like people weren't offended in the least by Ball including her pregnancy on her show in an era when pregnancy was typically hushed up on TV. Ball Became a Mentor to Carol Burnett Lucille Ball and comedian Carol Burnett first met in the late 1950s, starting a mentor- and friendship that lasted for the rest of Ball's life. The two hit it off immediately, with Ball even once saying that if Burnett needed anything to call her — and then Burnett found out she needed to get a big name to guest on a TV special she wanted to host. Ball died on April 26, 1989, which was also Burnett's birthday, and Burnett has noted that she received flowers from Ball that very day. Ball Hated All in the Family but Was a Fan of M*A*S*H and Other Sitcoms Ball was a trailblazer, no doubt, but she also had her limits. When All in the Family debuted with foul-mouthed (but ultimately good-hearted) Archie Bunker, Ball was aghast. She was distressed by his character and the spread of his unfortunate language choices to children who tried to imitate his character. Ball much preferred less "offensive" (but just as ground-breaking) comedy, including M*A*S*H and Cheers.1 point -

Rachel: You know what so sad that you always want to blame Democrats. I never and will never blame a party. I blame people because a lot of people are independents too, do you blame them? Parties do not make people act the way they do, sin does! Parties do not save neither can they stop Satan or sin. Only those who truly love THE MOST HIGH and not lip service. Stop the blame game please and look at each of us. Since I been writing here on this subject I have constantly said parties have nothing do with this at all. Prophecy are being fulfilled, I never read anything about a party in the Bible. Have you? When people are easy to make excuses to what is taken place do not plan it on a party, stand up and call sin by its right name. Hate! The Bible does talk about that! Violence, again in the Bible, love, that's in there too! We cannot escape under the coats of ANY PARTY to mistreat others. Parties will not take you to Heaven or cause you to burn in the Lake of Fire! What will is our reaction to sin. If sin lies at anyone doors and they do not resist it then you are at fault and not any party! Blessings!1 point -

Cartels and immigrants are not the same thing. When anyone wants to blame someone for killing innocent people just look and see they will give an excuse. I will say again people who came here together were people from countries who had gangs and were threatening their children. NOT ONE CARTEL was among them! This is not true and when anyone makes a statement like this please prove it. Provide the articles please show that they have proven reports! https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-u-s-asylum-rule-strands-thousands-at-southern-border-11563285772 https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2019-08-03/stymied-by-u-s-asylum-policies-many-migrants-on-the-border-are-heading-home Thank You and be blessed!1 point -

Joe: You see we have not been talking about global! We have been talking about immigrants and USA. I was referring to our country and the attacks that are happening here! White Nationalist terrorist is here, they marched in Carterville against Jews! The Bomber wanted to bomb Jews, Two Synagogues killing was against Jews, the shooting in California were against all people of color! El Paso was against Mexicans or Hispanic immigrants who were already US citizens. He wrote what he wanted to targeted. Dayton Ohio shooter's sister rode with him and she and both Black and White were killed-why? My focus is here and White Nationalist Terrorists here have become more violent in the last two year. Racism is here, hatred is here, love have waxed cold is here. People are being killed here who are innocent. I want to hear the same man who said he could walk down 5th avenue and kill anyone and his followers will back him. Who says something like that? This mean he can talk freely about murder! Then today says the Nation condemn racism and white nationalist but he never said I CONDEMN WHITE NATIONALIST AND RACISM! Instead blame it on the Media? So the Media did not cite the crowd and we all heard, "shoot them," and he says "only in Panhandler," this is unreal! These people ARE NOT MENTAL OR CRAZY, they are listen to someone who incites them. I am very sick right now over this! People can't even go anywhere anymore! Not even to church! We need Prayer, all of us!1 point -

5 Things You Didn't Know About Marilyn Monroe's Death_2 On August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe was found dead, sprawled across her bed with empty prescription bottles nearby. As with other famous deaths, Monroe's soon became subject to varying theories, and her popularity has only grown. Here are five things you didn't know about Marilyn Monroe's death... The Last Person She Called Was Peter Lawford Peter Lawford, brother-in-law to Jack, Bobby and Teddy Kennedy and husband to their sister, Pat, was the last person Monroe spoke to before her untimely death. After the news of her death came out, Lawford said that he regretted that he hadn’t gone to see her at her home after their conversation. He told investigators that she sounded as though she had taken some type of drug by the slurred voice and that she seemed depressed. Her Housekeeper Discovered the Body About 3:30 in the morning, Monroe’s housekeeper, Eunice Murray, said she saw that a light was on in the bedroom of the actress and phoned Dr. Ralph Greenson, who was the star’s psychologist, along with her personal physician. Monroe's body was discovered by Dr. Greenson, who arrived at the house around 10 minutes after the call, and she was pronounced dead by her personal physician shortly afterward. The cause of death listed in the coroner’s report was barbiturate poisoning and overdose as well as probable suicide. Speculation on the Cause of Death Included the Kennedy Brothers Speculation that Monroe was having an affair with President John F. Kennedy arose in 1962 when she appeared on stage to sing “Happy Birthday” to him at Madison Square Garden. Later it was discovered that both Monroe and Kennedy were staying in Palm Springs as guests of crooner Bing Crosby. Another rumor was that Monroe had been carrying on a long-term affair with the president’s brother, Bobby Kennedy, who was the Attorney General, and allegations were that she was killed to cover up those affairs. Controversy Surrounding Her Death Monroe had attempted suicide several times before and was said by physicians to have suffered from anxiety and depression. The county coroner, Thomas Naguchi, ruled that she had most likely taken her own life. There were enough conspiracy theories about her death that a threshold investigation was conducted by the LA County District Attorney’s Office into the allegations. However, no evidence turned up that foul play had been involved in the death of the popular screen star. Her Funeral Was a Private Affair Monroe’s second husband, Joe DiMaggio, took care of the funeral arrangements and limited attendees to close friends and family. Police were present to keep gawkers and news reporters at a distance. Her body was interred at Westwood Village Memorial Park cemetery in Los Angeles. DiMaggio had roses delivered to Monroe’s resting place regularly for the next 20 years, and his last words were that he would finally get to see Marilyn.1 point -
