I was going to speak on the topic of "What we need today is a prophet - not a Monday Morning Quarterback". Clearly when it comes to warnings and "seeing the consequences of Actions- - the Liberals have proven themselves with a much better prophetic or predictive track record than conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck, who are almost always completely wrong. Conservatives are far too inclined to say"Listen to what I'm saying - - Right this minute" with no Historic track record in the past, and their projections of the Future are completely useless. The Bible is great at playing the "See - I told you so" game. We are told of countless prophecies of doom in the OT and elsewhere - - and cities were destroyed. But I was thinking "Just once wouldn't it be nice to actually tell us something that is Going to happen that Hasn't Happened Yet". Even in the NT - - Jesus curses the Jewish Temple and it is destroyed- - and tells all those cities around the Sea of Galilee that "It will be more tollerable on the Last Day for Sodom and Gamorah than for you". Jesus spares no invectives! He speaks of "Being Thrown to Hell" with a giant millstone around your neck, or whatever. Back in High School when I was in Dick Schimmel's Sunday school class, which I've referred to before I mentioned 'I think God should send another Messiah (or Prophet) to speak to us directly to the Issues of our time". This remark did not go over well. As I said a while back on my reflections on Islam- - it seems that we much prefer a dead relic whom we can mythologise, like Ronald Reagan- - than a Living Prophet, and I asked "Why is that?" Of course- - there is a major AXIOM in religion that "supernatural stuff doesn't go on like that now". And there are other things that "Don't occur now" that is- - in the Present Time- - where we live. God never "Updates his Word" - - because his "Word" was established and "finished" when the Council of Nicia invented the Holy Trinity in the fourth century. Because after all they LOVE that single line in scripture "When the Perfect comes, the Imperfect will pass away". These people above all view God's manifestations to mankind as IMPERFECT. The only 'Perfect" thing they believe in is THEMSELVES! (Selah) So often the most ardent deniers of any supernatural gifts such as Tongues, or Prophecy, or Healings, Interpertation of Tongues, or Casting out of Demons- - the most ardent deniers are often the most Pious Legalists such as Walter Martin- - who says "The office of Prophet was abolished by Christ" or Messers Swendoll and Mc Arthur- - who are into legalism up to their ass. If you were to say to them "I want to see a sign from God that the things you say are Right" they would probably pop a blood vessel. Another thought that hit me last night was "I wish we would expend more time actually Explaining things - - - rather than what we enjoy "Explaining things Away". I told you I am an Objectivist- - meaning that externally caused Problems and Moral delemas- - really do exist. The whole world cannot be explained in psychiatric terms of "personality perception" or "mental issues" as though the whole world were perfect and needed no corrective measures- - it's just All In Our Minds. I think this just might be one of the fundamental things that separates liberals- - who see Problems as External- - rather than a Conservative- - who would deny that any External problems of society NEED fixing.
But then I heard John Fugelsang's proclamation this morning that JEHOVAH IS ONE OF THE LEAST PRO LIFE PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE and it got me to thinking. I'm trying to think of one time that God has ever said "This is too much awful carnage and horrible loss of human life". Commander Spock on Star Trek gets more emotional about the massive loss of human life than Jehovah God does. In fact when you hear things like "man began to multiply over the earth" it's roll the kettle drum time- - because God has to send a Flood or something to wipe everybody out. And of course we all know that even Sex is seen as the Original Sin by many old time Evangelists- - because "Adam did not Know his wife" till after he ate the forbidden fruit. Why is that? I knew that Jehovah God was soft on the abortion issue because the Law states if you strike a pregnent woman so that her fetus dies- - you only need to pay her a sun of money. But John Fugelsang pointed out other scripture where apparently during massive vengeful carnage- - and women were slaughtered and their bellies were ripped open and the fetuses killed. Also this magic potion you give your wife if you suspect her of being unfaithful- - that causes her lady parts to shrivel and the baby to be aborted and she can never reproduce again. Of course we have David with an attitude twords revenge that only causes Samantha Brady to look on in awe and wonder. David was "Dancing naked before the Lord", which itself would apply that he was dancing in some localized PLACE where in fact God WAS. And Michelle criticized him for this and David vowed in Scarlet Ohere fashion never to have sex with her again. But later on five sons of Michelle are "Sacrificed and the bodies hung before the Lord". Also Jeptha's daughter was a human sacrifice. John Fugelsang says "The Bible contains a lot of truth, but it doesn't contain a lot of facts". I'm not so sure about that. It could be all the sheets of paper just got shuffled around and things got reverse in chronology order- - things were left out- - kind of like that Frankenstein song by Edger Winter "This was from a much longer piece that was heavily edited". And it could be that whole lives were conflated and different parts of people's lives like Saul or David- - might be compilations and conflations of many different lives. Even when they speak of "God" as that Islam guy points out- - they are at different times referring to entirely different Gods.
Other commercial
flights shot down “accidentally” or whatever- - are as Stephanie points out
Flight 800 off Long Island around this date eighteen years ago in 1996. Tammy Bruce was an enthusiastic proponent of
the “missile theory” here of a plane shot down just after sunset. Then we ourselves shot down an Iranian flight
“over Siberia” (?) with a loss of over two hundred lives. Then the Ukranians themselves admit to
shooting one flight during a “training session gone wrong”. Then there is the Uri Andropov “Flight 007”
shooting down a plane in the Sea of Japan in 1983 that they made a movie
of. And we won’t even talk about Flight
93 that I believe was shot down in that field in Pennsylvania. There is LESS debris from THAT flight than
there was from the Malaysian airliner that was shut down yesterday. It seems that Putin himself now believes it
was Russian rebels that did it, but he doesn’t want to quite admit that. But the Rebels were bragging they just
received a new kind of missile launcher a couple of weeks ago, and apparently some Rebels were “tweeting”
and bragging they had shot the thing down.
In
terms of that plane shot down, it was by a surface to air missile or SAM, and
our government has confirmed that. It
was shot down fifty K from the Russian border.
John Mc Cain seemed to imply it was the Russians who did it. 33,000 feet means it wasn’t done by any
amateur. Somebody on EWN stated “this
could be a turning point for the better in relations between the two
countries”. I think he’s dreaming. Israel launched its ground attack in Gaza and
the goal is to “clear out all their underground tunnels”. They don’t allow civilians to use these
tunnels for shelter, they only use them to transport and stash weapons. They are saying they are literally “forcing”
civilians on the tops of roofs- - because when they get killed, they believe it
will make better headlines. It is as
Netenyahoo says. “We use our missiles to
protect our people, but Hammas uses people to protect them from our missiles”. That this is completely below the belt
tactics and just plain tacky- - goes without saying. Around here after getting rid of the pool
table this morning they rearranged the benches.
One reason why
President Obama’s ratings are so low is because “Progressives have President
Obama figured out now” and have completely lost faith in him. Thom Hartman is on Free Speech TV now and I
posted that blog. I switched out the
photograph to another Firefox photo near the first one I had chosen. It seems that plane over Ukraine WAS
definitely shot down and did not encounter weather. Two other planes were shot down over Ukraine
in the past week, but the other two were cargo planes. Now you have the loss of many human
lives. The plane was a flight from
Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, which is not near India as I thought, but is in
Malaysia. Ukraine says it’s definitely
some kind of Russians, and the only question is whether they are or domestic
rebels or actually Russia. As to
implying Samantha Brady is a lesbian, I say “There is a thin line between love
and hate” and Samantha Brady has far too much testosterone, and downright penis
envy, not to have major sexual identity issues- - and males aren’t the only
ones with a lot of testosterone. Some
woman said that “male apes and humans have a lot of testosterone and are therefore
war like”. But the other factor of
excess, out of control religious beliefs, and - - wouldn’t it be funny if it
turned out Apes actually had religious beliefs like “Beware of Man; he is the
harvenger of Death”.
Norman Goldman was a
pretty wasted program. He was either arguing
with some phantom attacking his Jewishness, or else he was running through news
story after news story- - as though he had plans to “get to them all
today”. Here’s a tip- - rather than tell
us what you’re going to do, just do something now! I have no idea whether I’ll see today’s
episode on the web site. I turned on
Sean Hannity for the first time in ages, and his show was very useful for news
updates. Then it was coffee in the
courtyard. Johnny Winter died today at
age seventy and we all know he was “found dead in his hotel room”. But nobody is saying what he died of or the
immediate circumstances surrounding his death.
He was a blues guitar artist who never had a big hit like his brother,
Edger Winter- but was close to BB King and Muddy Waters. In terms of the song “Frankenstein” that came
out in 1972 (yes, great stereo) and Edger Winter was the keyboard genious who
did that song, but it was the drummer who composed it. It’s on the album “They only come out at
night” but was originally the B side of a Single in 1972.
DAYS OF OUR LIVES is no longer a Drama, but more of an "Exhibition" of some sort, kind of like wrestling. There basically is no actual plot that hangs together any more. In case you are wondering, the most recent
Days of our Lives episode is Wednesday's.
There are so many logistical problems wrong with the plot with Sammy and
Kate taking down Stephano’s empire, it would take forever to list it. We must assume Stephano- - puts his most
valued items in a known safe where the combination is Johnny’s birthday, and
that there is no other alarm system on it.
By the way- - why hasn’t Samantha thrown that picture of Stephano in the
trash- - now that Stephano is not living in the house? What happened to all of those police spies
and informants that keep Stephano aware of everything? How come E J has not talked to so much at one
attorney, or to Stephano, or any of Stephano’s friends inside the police
department, or for that manner, ANY friends at all? He has had no court appearance. His crime is one that normally, as Abigail
points out- - can most often be resolved by just paying a Fine, not prison time. And how is it that Samantha is not being
barraged with questioners from the other board members? Also the last we heard- - Stephano had an
undying hatred of Kate and not only despised her but wouldn’t trust her as far
as I could throw a shot-put. And how is
it that Kate seems to have more custody of Alley, rather than her father,
Lucas, whom I get the idea, is near powerless?
