    Apologetics

    See: https://spectrummagazine.org/views/2019/limits-apologetics The above article goes back to Plato, the Sophists and others. I attrated my attention due to the fact that a frequent contributor to the discussions in this forum is a Roman Catholic Apologist. I thought it might be of interest to hear what he has to say in response to this article. However, the article soon turns its focus to we SDAs and clearly points the finger at us and what we sometimes do in debating a point that we believe should be made. So, my Catholic friend, the the focus of this article is not on you. It is on us. NOTE: I will also state that I appreciate the integrity that our Apologist has demonstrated here.

    5 Things You Probably Didn't Know About the War of 1812_3 On August 24, 1814, during the War of 1812, British troops entered Washington, D.C. and burned the White House. Here are five fascinating facts you probably didn't know about the War of 1812... The War of 1812 Went on for 32 Months Calling it the War of 1812 can be confusing since it went on for 32 months after the United States declared war on Great Britain in 1812. The War of 1812 lasted longer than the Spanish-American War and theMexican-American-War. It even lasted longer than America’s involvement in World War I. The Biggest Battle Occurred After the Peace Treaty Was Signed The largest battle of the war, and one where the United States was victorious, occurred at the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815. This was several weeks following the signing of the peace treaty at Ghent, Belgium, by British and U.S. envoys. Despite the signing of the peace treaty, the war wasn’t officially over until President James Madison and the Senate ratified the peace treaty on February 16, 1815. Francis Scott Key Literally Described What He Saw When Francis Scott Key wrote the poem that became “The Star-Spangled Banner” while at Fort McHenry, he mentioned “bombs bursting in air” and “the rocket’s red glare,” which wasn’t exactly poetic license. The bombs Key saw were cannonballs that weighed 200 pounds and exploded over their target. The British missiles were Congreves that resembled bottle rockets, so they appeared to observers as long sticks that spun in the air affixed to a cylindrical-shaped canister. Canadians Celebrate the War of 1812 During the War of 1812, America actually decided to invade and occupy Canada, believing that the Canadians would welcome them with open arms, but the opposite was true. American troops were met with heavy resistance by the British loyalists who had retreated to Canada after the American Revolution, French-Canadians and Native Americans. Although Americans do not celebrate the War of 1812, Canadians do. New Englanders Thought About Seceding During the War It was during the War of 1812 that the subjects of secession, states’ rights and nullification were voiced, but it was by those who lived in New England. New England residents were opposed to the war from the beginning and suffered greatly from the naval blockades set up by the British. During the last weeks of 1814, New England delegates met to discuss the possibility of secession, which was ultimately dismissed, however, they continued to support nullification and states’ rights.

    Who's fooling who?

    No. I'm just going to wait on the sidelines (outside of Nineveh) for a while and watch the days count down for President Trump to get broken and to see President Michael Pence stand for his people. And weep for those who could have heard the warning and bettered their spiritual situation with Christ. When it started raining Noah could not do that much for the antediluvians that had refused to hear him. There will be a time when the 5 foolish virgins separate themselves from the wise virgins and go looking for that which it is too late to obtain. I have other groups to warn and some of them are actually listening. So there is no need to labor for the garden that is past its prime when there are other gardens that are still producing. "LORD, Remember me when thou comest into Thy Kingdom"!

    Who's fooling who?

    JoeMo, If we are not being led by the same Spirit, one (and more) of us is in danger. Light and darkness do not exist together. Friday, I finished my latest Bible study (manuscript), but I did not publish it. I sent a copy to a publisher who declined it without even looking at it. But with his rejection, he suggested that it be reviewed by... and if she approved it, he would publish it. I responded that … does not review manuscripts prior to publication: But she has been known to do it if requested by a publisher. The publisher responded: I will make that request right now. My prayer is that she review the material and that the Lord holds back the wily devil who is seeking to kill and destroy. It is time (2019) for the image-beast to form, for judgment to fall on Israel and America. The material is in the manuscript that sits on her computer. I will leave it in God's keeping. After President Trump is broken in 2019, President Pence is in office in 2019, Israel receives her judgment, and the war with Iran begins, and the Time of Trouble follows; it may be too late for me to warn those who are not led by the same Spirit. We are at the time when our metal is to be tested and the shaking will shake everything that is not founded in Christ Jesus. With this post, I commit the souls of those who trust in Christ to Christ Jesus our Savior, and those who think that they are standing to their thoughts whether they be threads of gold of ropes of sand. God knows and His word will do the work that He has appointed for it to do at God's time. Fare thee well?
