Text Box: THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTES BUT FIVE PER CENT OF THE WORLD POPULATION BUT USES TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT OF ITS ENERGY How often has this or some similar statement been made? Been made to discredit, demean, and disparage the U.S.A.? More often than readily be counted. What has the U.S.A. done with this massive consumption of energy? It has rebuilt Europe, fed and relieved the medical needs of Europe and Russia through two world wars, maintained a livable and viable peace throughout the world for over fifty years despite repeated terrorist attacks, relieved the effects of war and natural and man made disaster throughout the world even unto those countries and people who attack the U.S.A. including attacks with military and terrorist, fed millions - actually billions - of people through droughts and starvation, placed her citizens in harm’s way and shed their blood and relinquished their lives to protect people throughout the world even those who wish to destroy the U.S.A. and its citizens, made technological advances for which it expended massive sums of money available free or at virtually no cost to the rest of the world. And that is just a start, just a beginning, of what the U.S.A. has done with its consumption of energy. What do other countries do with their consumption of energy? That take care of themselves and their own interests. If they perceive no material benefit to themselves, they expend no resources. Question: Based on the foregoing, historically, what country at this time is most beloved by God? And where do you live? +

Text Box: THE ADVICE: FIRST YOU MUST FORGIVE YOURSELF Troubled individuals often are advised that they must first forgive themselves. So, Who died and made you god? And when did God die? Obviously when forgiveness is mentioned what ever problem or situation is being studied did not result from accident, nature, happenstance, or inadvertent circumstances. When forgiveness is mentioned, implicit is an act or acts or omission or omissions by an individual or individuals. When one is advised to first forgive oneself, then it is obvious the one being advised to forgive themselves is the one who acted or omitted. But forgiveness is able to be granted only by the one who has been acted against, who has been transgressed, who has been harmed or sought to be harmed. If someone has done something foolish and harmed themselves one really can not forgive one’s self but must learn to live with the consequences of their foolishness and resolve to not repeat that foolishness. But if someone has harmed another through their own foolishness then the actor has the ability to seek forgiveness from the one harmed. Likewise for an intentional act or omission. However, whether one harms themselves or another, there always is yet another who is harmed. That other is the one who owns each of us because He created each of us and while He grants us self determination He never relinquishes the quality of ownership because it is innate in the reality of His being sole Creator. Therefore one really should first seek forgiveness from God. Then one can “worry” about seeking forgiveness from others - including themselves if they so desire. +

Text Box: AMOS CHAPTER 4 In our times might this not be a message to those who participate in the Corporate - Government Financial and Power Complex / Interchange? The Israelites are reproved for their oppressing the poor, for their idolatry, and their incorrigibleness. 4:1. Hear this word, ye fat kine that are in the mountains of Samaria: you that oppress the needy, and crush the poor: that say to your masters: Bring, and we will drink. Fat kine... He means the great ones that lived in plenty and wealth. 4:2. The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness, that lo, the days shall come upon you, when they shall lift you up on pikes, and what shall remain of you in boiling pots. 4:3. And you shall go out at the breaches one over against the other, and you shall be cast forth into Armon, saith the Lord. Armon... A foreign country; some understand it of Armenia. 4:4. Come ye to Bethel, and do wickedly: to Galgal, and multiply transgressions: and bring in the morning your victims, your tithes in three days. 4:5. And offer a sacrifice of praise with leaven: and call free offerings, and proclaim it: for so you would do, O hildren of Israel, saith the Lord God. 4:6. Whereupon I also have given you dulness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet you have not returned to me, saith the Lord. 4:7. I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon on city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon: and the piece whereupon I rained not, withered.
