Quote from I am...:
The world begins with an attack on Truth. What else would it be but insane? And while you think like it, you will not understand that the crucifixion was the truth about the genesis of this world. And from what you've seen in the Marines, it should be obvious this world IS the crucifixion of Christ - Truth and Life. It is bent on perpetuating it forever, so the attack is masked with golf courses and good times. But it is a battleground everywhere, all the time. And while even one is not yet free, the work of salvation is not yet finished - in time. It is finished from an eternal perspective which cannot be understood while you hide out from the Truth that you may avoid accepting it. No problem. You have all the time in the world. Merely understand what the world is, and what your home is, and you would not consent to delay longer. The world is one thing. If it had to be one thing, what do you think that would be?
Jesus
I'm not too sure what you just said, but I'll take a few pieces, and add my thoughts.
* The crucifixion of Christ and two other Men on Calgary DID occur. Jesus accepted one as he said he believed. The other told him to save himself if he was the Messiah. He had no idea that Jesus was here for the very reason to bleed, and die for US. All we have to do is accept the fact that God sent his only Son here, born of the Virgin Mary, to die for our sins so that we can be saved is all that's asked... Doesn't take too much math, MACD, SMA's, etc., to figure that one out.
*I was in combat in Iraq. Yes, if it weren't for prayer, and my faith that God has placed me here for a reason, I would not be able to handle what I did and observed... Most people PULL the trigger and miss. Marines SQUEEZE the trigger, and hit with deadly results...
* Golf courses and good times are all good to go as long as the people who are enjoying what they have was put here for them by GOD, AND THEY NEED TO GIVE THANKS FOR IT! I do. Especially when I actually finish a 'few

' points above par. I thank our Father for giving me the ability to do these things...
* It's a battleground on the truth. People don't want to hear the truth. That's why there are thousands of guys on here wanting some magic bullet trading system instead of learning the truth, sticking with it, and putting it into action...
* You said "The world is one thing. If it had to be one thing, what do you think that would be?"
To be quite candid, I have absolutely no clue. When our Father takes his children home, the World will be what it will be at that time... Those who have not accepted him will suffer. I won't be one suffering.

I've suffered enough in where I've been, seen, and done...
