T.W.W., the wisdom has been there thru out millenia, but it appears you never grasped it.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. ### TWW complaining that with new leadership a church made changes to its governance. So let me get this straight, an organization changes leadership and then makes changes to the organization itself. And this is new how?### Or does T.W.W. want to try and make the case this is unique to Calvinists? BOSH I say. ### Read and re-read Eccl every year. It will help prepare you for the reality of our fallen natures.

BLOGS DON'T LAST FOREVER

a) Prayers for Jeff Dunn and his family. Apparently Jeff's life hasn't been easy for at least a few years and now he is in hospice. If he accepted Jesus as Lord and King, his joyous eternity is assured. ### b] Chaplain Mike announce the end of the blog as of Jan. 1, 2021, about 3 months hence. The election will be over taking away 80 percent of the blog's energy. All that would be left is complaining about the Evangelicals. I've never seen any joy in being a "none."

PANIC OR TRUST THE SCIENCE - UPDATE

GEO MIKE, whom I hope is feeling well, again leads the attack on the Evangelicals who express doubts about masks and social distancing BUT HERE ARE THE FACTS as to the deadliness of this flu in these United States The CDC last week posted its new estimate of the survival rates for COVID-19, broken up by age. This link put those number in clear terms: 0-19 years: 99.997% 20-49 years: 99.98% 50-69 years: 99.5% 70+ years: 94.6% Those numbers are practically identical to those of the flu. In other words, practically no one dies from it. It makes some people sick for a week or so, and then goes away. And we have destroyed western civilization over this. It boggles the mind (for those who are still using it). The worst part is that no one will believe me. Instead, too many will be outraged that anyone would even hint that this virus is not the plague. https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/survival-rates-for-covid-19/### UPDATE: An Ohio woman Alecia Kitts was tased and arrested at an 8th grade football game after not complying with a state mask mandate and resisting arrest. MY GUESS: Internet commenters are fine with that.

Dissenting comment

Comment from recovering Baptist: ### So you're trusting the "narrative" of a wicked man who blasphemes the blood of Christ, lies that we can take the mark and still be saved, and tells his congregation there IS no pandemic (I recently lost a friend to Covid),and as if ALL THIS us not enough, actually tells his congregation "The good news is you're NOT wearing masks and are not social distancing." The devil knows his time to speak through John MacArthur is short (he's now 81), and both John AND Satan are no longer content in merely leading people to their SPIRITUAL death; they want to lead them to their PHYSICAL death too.

The End of Planet Earth

Pretty interesting discussion about the so-called Climate Change catastrophe. Most of the commenters do appear to realize that what would be required to change things is simply beyond human effort. Unity among humans doesnt exist in sufficient numbers to make the changes plausible.### However, if you believe in the sovereignty of God, you do not have to worry.

JUSTICE WITHOUT JESUS

Chaplain Mike's Sunday post references an article out of Christianity Today that starts with this quote: "We have people who have made justice their God, yet another instance of the litany of humanity’s idol worship. We have people defining justice as they see fit rather than wrestling with what Biblical justice is. And, in the end, we have people abandoning Christ." ### There are numerous people on the "discernment" blogs such as I-monk who trumpet their leaving of Evangelicalism, then becoming a "none" and the final step, becoming a "done" and renouncing the faith. I've always thought that to be a great sadness. When you renounce the faith, as I once did, you end up empty and alone. It was a bad time in my life.

Learning from Rembrandt - the Raising of the Cross

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Raising_of_the_Cross%2C_by_Rembrandt_van_Rijn_%28cropped_for_self-portrait%29.jpg #### This is Rembrandt's famous photo where he makes it plain the he himself was a part of the throng that crucified Christ. Rembrandt acknowledges, HE is the problem. This is unlike I-monkers who insist OTHERS are the problem. It's always the others who need correction - especially on Saturdays.

WOULD JOE BIDEN LIE TO YOU about COVID?

I-MONKERS are unified in their dislike and distrust of President Trump. Would he lie or shade the truth? Yeah, everybody knows that. They're worried about the new vacinations that Trump will hide the truth about the dangers or problems. Another reason not to vote for him.### But do you I-monkers think Joe Biden wouldn't lie to you or shade the truth for political advantage?Are you, the sophisticated, liberal I-monkers, naive? ### https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/499065-lies-damned-lies-and-the-truth-about-joe-biden ### I don't mind people hating on President Trump but I find it hard to get over their naivety if they think Joe Biden is the answer.

Why go to a Mega Church - because they can give you this

I-monker tears? Joe ain't gonna enforce a mask mandate.

There are so very many legitimate reasons to dislike Mr. Trump. But the only option other than Trump is Joe, and Joe is not up to the task of leading the country. It's a difficult position for Democrats who have been paying attention to Joe's cognitive decline. If he wins, he's not up to the task and then what happens? Nobody knows but a rudderless ship is a huge problem.

John MacArthur banned from I-monk

"From now on, I refuse to grant John MacArthur any more space here at IM." ### The liberal way; ban conservative thought. [ yet they call conservatives fascists ]

Searching for the elusive Evangelical anti-masker

The whole of I-monkdom appears to be disappointed that ZERO anti-masking Evangelicals showed up to argue with the intellectual sophisticates of I-monk.### Dear I-monkers; you really are bigoted. Seriously

CHAPLAIN MIKE forgets the "Light Worker" in his attempt to paint Trump as Hitler as adored by Christians

[ Obama is ] "the rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul…" "There’s a vast amount of positive energy swirling about that’s been held back by the armies of BushCo darkness, and this energy has now found a conduit, a lightning rod, is now effortlessly self-organizing around Obama’s candidacy. People and emotions and ideas of high and positive vibration are automatically drawn to him." ### “What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history. … The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.”– Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. on Obama’s winning the Democratic presidential nomination. ###I-Monk, a fully progressive political blog with a thin patina of liberal religiosity.
