When I'm out n about walking or driving around I like to look at people. I wonder if they're saved and many times bless them.

It's not like it used to be. People used to engage each other with a smile n a wave or something. Nowadays people look at each other like they owe 'em money. People are scared of each other now. It's not right and will be the downfall of our country.

Sometimes I wish I'd been born back in cowboy days. Not only do I like the clothes from that period, and the lack of big brother, but people were a lot nicer to each other then. They helped each other instead of relying on govt..

Ok Bob, we'll help you build your house, but come next spring, come help put up my barn. Fair enough? And so forth...

That's as cool as it gets! The townsfolk had a unified spirit of sorts. In fact, I believe that an unspoken obligation to help existed. (As we know, scripture backs that up too)

Oh, that we had that unified spirit in this day & age! We will need that unification in these end times. We have to turn this around within our communities ourselves, and the buck starts here, with me (you).

That's how it's done. Individually and personally. I encourage all my Brothers and Sisters here to make a (greater) effort to help people in need, engage people on the street, say hi and smile. Put out the vibe of helpfulness and love.

Scripture says if one asks for you to go a mile with him...to go two miles with him. That's a great spirit to walk in! Kindness is contagious so it's important to do I rtf.

Blessings be upon you Brother's & Sisters.

This has become a generation of closing the blind, yet peaking out of it only in fear of what others might be doing. I love the fact that I live out in the country where neighbor will help neighbor and when I drive into town a smile is passed from one stranger to another. People now a days expect handouts instead of working for their wage and then you have those who can not work or find work are those who give so much from their heart. I say let your heart be the spokesman for the glory of the Lord in all you do and say.

It's our entertainment.
It's all engineered and tailored to you specifically on your cell phone.

Look, studies have been done as to the effects of having a complete computer on your cell phone. Cookies and googling habits and your FB friends and searches have given them tailored specifically for you content you can't seem to put down.

Where you think that all this social media is connecting you more it actually is isolating you more. The term "emotional exhaustion" is not a buzzword...
And if the media moguls have their way it won't either.

But that's what comes from every five minutes knowing too many good, joyous and horrible tragedy and anger provoking thing imaginable. Add to that perfectly placed ads for things that you might like (creating a "scam warning" in your brain) and now you trust no one...you isolate yourself from scarey strangers. Always with your guard up and no chance that unearned favor comes out of you for even the time of day.

How many pictures of porn can you view inside of five minutes?....making yourself inoculated to any women in real life who becomes unclothed... Especially your spouse.

The more tech we have the less we actually grow as a society.

I don't think I really want to know what's coming next.

It depends,my wife's family will beg to differ,the seminoles, cherokee, Lakota say it wasn't so nice.people are the same.we just have a blind we view things in.I do it. Step out and see it outside thar blind and look around.people are mean and some aren't.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I don't romantize history.it wasn't nice to be black nor Indian back then.

Nor were the Indians innocent

I know nothing of the late 1800s to the 1920s but I can make a good number of logical and indisputable assumptions with the talented brain the LORD has given me. From my first real memories, beginning with 1950 through today, people have grown

 

[jasonc]

I read up on various eras .chiefly Florida history.

Oops, working on my wife's mouse. But people have grown evil and there is no good in it. Young men and women want to subjectively and that cannot be allowed because there is an objective standard that is required of us.

Now about Blacks, there is a standard the News Agencies and Movie Worlds live by and it must cause excitement. And that is what they both twist all stories into. Were there evil slave holders? Ofr course there were, there are evil men everywhere but they are always a small minority in the past, unlike today. There are historical reports i read in some works of the period where slaves had to be driven at gun point from the former owner's holdings, creating many ghettos full of hopeless lost souls. The Democrats of the time, not Abe, were responsible for that, just as they are still still holding the Black Man back today and still blaming the White Republicans.

Indians, ask my borthers or sisters, we lost the war, the end!

 

[th1b.taylor]

Jason,
Like it or not, the Bible does not ever condemn slavery and, like it or not, every employee in this or any other nation is somebodies slave.
And when I went into business to be my own boss I was the slave of many people, all at the same time. Slavery is inescapable.

 

[reba]

I am blessed to live in a place where strangers say hello ... I love small towns i will trade everyone knowing what you had for breakfast for that strangers hello..

So we should legalise it and polygamy,neither are condemned.yet what was in the garden before the fall.if you want to go there.what was the primary means of getting a slave by nations? War.

I think there are a little over 250 people I need to keep up with here, it's so much better than Houston ever was.

Point?

 

[jasonc]

Point?

We like to assume what we had in the past was nicer .I can go back to the civil war and point out crony capitalism in the railroads.nothing new under the sun.the world has always been dark.Jesus never said it wasn't dark.it was pretty bad in the early church days.

When you are old enough for the new to all wash off, 65 or so, and you can look back you will remember one old fossil told you we were getting measurably worse over every lifetime. You will see if the new wears completely off.

Im into history,I study it.were you aware that my family owned slaves? We're you aware they fought and died fir the south. Were you aware there is a Jewish vet cemetery that is fir civil war vets thar has been Desacrated by the kkk? To my knowledge my family wasn't buried there. So yes it's as evil as its been.the world doesn't revolve around america. Where there is evil there is the cross.

Jason,
Honestly, nothing you said here changes anything.

The world has been evil since the fall. Na me where it says that it will be worse? Paul taught he was in the last days.yet he surely knew Mathew 25,and 24.thus my point.I'm amillenial.

If we are past trying for confrontational, that is a very good thing and if both of us can focus on the subject material, that is an educational opportunity for each man. Stupidity abounds over on the Baptist Board and that is why I spend so little time there, they just make me upset.

Your exact theological position is no more important to me than Reba's, Chopper's, Fran's nor mine. Potentially, we are all wrong and in need of correction from God.

But have you studied the book of the Revelation of Jesus, the Christ? Contained therein is the subject matter in a non-sequential manner but the very fact that you are requesting it is out of line and is a hyjacking of another's string about being friendly.


i made an observation that you, as a young man, do not have a Yankee Snowball's chance in the middle of Death Valley in mid-August of disproving because you are not studied enough yet because you are to young and much to driven by young pride, a terrible thing to arrest, particularly still being in the service.

When I was born in 1945, the war would end before I was a year old. The United States was the wealthiest nation in the world and because our Nation, routinely, prayed for the safety of Israel and the Nations of Juda and Israel god blessed us over and over.

When NATO, Code Name for US Force, gave the Jewish peoples that tiny sliver of land, that is less than 1/100th of what is theirs, on May 14, 1948, God was pleased with us and we, as a nation, flooded ourselves with pride (sin) and we were driven to a stalemate against a much inferior force in Korea because of our sin against God, same thing in South Vietnam.

Closer and more to the point for this lesson, in the late fifties cars, scooters, motorcycles and homes across the the states, except for the New York and New Jersy area states, were left with the keys in the ignition and the doors and windows, not just unlocked, they were open to keep the interiors fresh and pleasant.

Try that in any major city today, nope, bad idea. It is much worse.

He's kinda making my point about how people are, lol.

Ever since the fall of man, we got the knowledge of good & evil. What do we do with it? We tend to look for the bad instead of the good. Scripture tells us repeatedly not to do this!
