DaveW asked Please don't misunderstand the question that I have asked twice now. You are not responsible for the actions of any other person who signs up here. I am simply interested if you know some of these guys who periodically attack this forum on such issues which you are sympathetic with. Since you have refused to answer I can only assume you do know "Brother D" from another forum.

Hypothetical situation. Israel attacks the U.S. And you are commander in chief. Do you respond by attacking Israel in defense of the U.S.? Will God curse you for attacking them in this situation?

Below is what I have found. You can do the math. Sorry about the looooong post Globally, crude's reserves-to-production ratio has hovered between 40-55 years. The 1P estimate is an estimate of proven reserves, what is likely to be extracted from a well, 90% probability. Probable reserves are given 50% certainty (2P) and possible reserves a 10% certainty (3P). https://tinyurl.com/yd7cfczq https://tinyurl.com/yd7cfczqv Overall, global supply fell by 720,000 barrels per day in August, .2017 https://tinyurl.com/yctnaj3f our forecast horizon we will be in a 104 mb/d market and the call on OPEC crude and stock change rises from 32.2 mb/d in 2016…

Bruce Jenner - you know the one - that guy who made huge headlines because he reckons he is not - is now set to get married. Now wait for it - this guy who says he is a girl wants to get married...... to a 21 year old girl. So now the guy who says he is a girl turns out to like girls enough to want to marry (another) one. Shows the lie about where his head is - he really does know what he is, he just doesn't want to accept it. If what he says about himself was true he would be "marrying" a guy not a girl. Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are …

I'm sitting right now in my office as the principal of a Christian school. Outside the window of my office is the gym, and I can hear the student on break. They are playing, laughing, running and being children, as children should. On my right hip, covered up by a jacket, is a Kimber Warrior .45acp. On my left hip is a spare mag. At any time during the week there may be in the building as many as three of us with handguns on our person. We are a school with a total of 47 students. These handguns are tucked away behind suit coats or jackets or sweaters, depending on the individual's clothing style. They are never shown, flashed or discussed in front of the students, but th…

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/29/opinions/airport-terror-istanbul-analysis-bergen/ ISIS' Ramadan terror campaign (CNN)In the past several days, ISIS has conducted lethal suicide attacks in Jordan, Lebanon, Yemen, Bangladesh and also, very likely, in Turkey. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What would happen if Christians started killing people for Jesus at Christmas or Easter? The hate for Jesus would be unbelievable. Even witches don't killed people for the devil on Halloween. Why don't we have Muslims leaving western nations to go and fight against these devils? Would our Army train those men so they could stop ISIS?

Same-sex marriage is being debated in the Australian Parliament right now. Some background: In the last federal election, our conservative party (called the Liberal Party) proposed during that campaign that they would have a "plebiscite vote" on whether Australia should allow same sex marriage. A Plebiscite is an individual vote by each registered citizen on a particular issue. The conservative party said they would put this matter to a full individual public vote. The Labor Party (our progressive party not unlike the US Democrats) are refusing to vote for it, and the party split and independents will not allow our conservative party to pass the bill to all…

This disaster is a great tragedy. Julian, my son in law wo is a senior buildings surveyor for Westmister City Council which is next to the borough of Kensington where the recent apartment fire disaster happened. He was late home this evening as he had to attend a joint meeting with Kensington officers, regarding the situation of similar tower blocks. May seems so uncaring. She will have to go.

An online petition has been launched over revelations that the popular evangelical-owned fast food restaurant Chick-fil-A is listed as a sponsor of a faith-based homosexual film and arts festival. Level Ground began as a student-organized event in 2013, and was touted as the “world’s first faith-based LGBT film festival.” It has since expanded to six cities across the country and includes not only film, but music, theater, visual arts, comedy, and various workshops with the goal of “elevating the public discourse around the otherwise polarizing topics of gender identity and human sexuality.” “The Level Ground Festival draws a unique audience that reflects the full spectru…

Today USA has a new president, We will pray for him and America. I can't understand why there are protests against the inauguration. Don't these people believe in elections? I know those holding anarchist flags breaking windows, don't, but the others should know better I feel for those two lads holding their salutes while Obama was waiting for Trump until they went into the building. They must have ended up with very stiff arms.

At least 4 people (including a copper) have been killed in a terror attack around the Parliament building in London. It appears that a car deliberately drove into people on Westminster Bridge, then crashed into the gates at the Palace of Westminster. Several coppers were then stabbed and they shot the attacker, there is speculation there could have been 2 terrorists. This incident highlights, once again, the brevity and uncertainty of life; and that we all need to be ready to face the Lord. Indeed, we are only 1 heartbeat away from God's presence.
