Is That In The Bible?

Is that religious-sounding piece of advice actually from the Bible? Let’s find out together!

On Securing Freedom of the Union

Summary: Jesus then went on to working in the equivalent of consulting roles, charity work, intelligence, national security, & military roles to aid in various nations around the world & fend off apocalyptic prophecies God had showed to him many years ago. Jesus’s teachings seemed unwelcome by many Christians, so he moved on from it.

Serving in the army, navy, national guard, Air Force, marines, multiple Seal Teams, marines, rangers, NATO, military police, many more sports & various military commander posts internationally- he went wherever God & the people asked for their assistance.

During the American Revolution his fellow soldiers hung up a “George Washington is A Coward Sign” on a building after we had won. They also replaced the American flag he hung up after they won with a British one, to imply he was a traitor. They did not know I was spending my time as a spy overseas & actually signed the document in England that won the war & secured our independence & freedom. I held back tears as I saw the sign fall. It was unsafe to speak of in the moment, for all of us. I had served as George Washington the Military Commander & spy, as Thomas Jefferson overnight to let the daytime President rest & do the Louisiana purchase, & rose to be Lincoln & work to win the Civil war when the slavery bell tolled once more. The angels switched back and forth with another to aid anywhere they could. Jesus tended to stay in positions of low spotlight for that is how he so preferred it.

God said his life was to be of suffering and he believed it. Time and time again- he believed it.

“God has done nothing for me” is a common belief. How different all our lives would be if it were so true.

A Few Things For Us To Think About ( #1461 )

A Few Things For Us To Think About ( #1461 )   1.) Think about it, what is faith and why should we adhere to it? 2.) What is reason and why should we care? 3.) Is it reasonable to believe in anything? 4.) If we say that we believe that Abraham Lincoln existed, why should we believe that? 5.) None of us were alive before 1865, none of us ever laid eyes on Mr. Lincoln so why should we believe that…

Abraham Lincoln Hat

Hello friends, today we are going to read about one such great person who took his own part and brought the country out of the crisis of war, that is the great person Abraham Lincoln and that country was America, then today we will get all the information from the article Abraham Lincoln Hat. read more

[foone]

speaking ex-cathedra here: The entire They Might Be Giants (except some parts of John Henry) discography is canon. If you don't have a Bible handy, you can just listen to Lincoln or Flood. It's basically the same stuff.

Teens as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse because Freddie brought it up and I love character assignments

First Horseman, Conquest/Glory: Normal

Glory can align to Pride, which from the Hell arc we know as Normal’s greatest sin. This is the White Rider, the color of which in the Bible is associated with righteousness; being morally right is a big part of the Oak characterization. A random side note of the twins using bows during the betrayal, this guy uses a bow, not that connected to Normal besides being his dad(s). Another interpretation of the First Horseman is as Pestilence, or infectious disease or plague, and he’s an Oak that’s explanatory enough for that. And he’s our resident stinky boy (even though it seems like everyone even the cast has forgotten that Normal DOES shower he just doesn’t know how to do laundry correctly but alas).

Second Horseman, War: Taylor

The Red Horse. In some translations, the color is specifically a “fiery” red, which fits perfectly with our little literal demon child. The rider wields a sword, which is the weapon Taylor is associated with the most from his wide array of survivalist gear. There’s also the association with bloodshed, which there has been for everyone, but I’d say most heavily with Taylor’s family at specifically Willy’s hands, who is currently in the position of God. He killed Glenn, decapitated Taylor, and also chopped off Nicky’s other arm (though none of those actually bled). I forget where I was going with that point is that actually a connection? Whatever.

Third Horseman, Famine: Lincoln

Not an actual reason for assigning him this, but this is the Third one and Link is a #3 kind of guy. He hates the number four because “that’s how many family members it’d be if his dad's got another kid”. The actual assignment may feel like a bit of a stretch but it makes sense to me. The Black Rider carries a scale, representing how bread would be weighed during the famine. They’ve also been interpreted as Scales of Justice. Applying this is Lincoln, I see it as the end to ep37 and Link’s feelings towards Grant as they are currently. Link is struggling to let his love for his father and hatred towards his actions coexist. He broke the garlic knot out of love, but he said he never wants to speak to Grant again. The garlic knot is his bread that he weighs in decision of how to approach his relationship with Grant, and he instead sliced it like the Gordian Knot and removed himself as a son and refers to Grant as a coworker.

Fourth Horseman, Death: Scary

Death surrounds Scary, that was my first thought when assigning. From Tony to Terry, and without going into depth about them because just mentioning them should be enough, Scary and Willy’s hand in her life has been more associated with Death than any of the other teens. Death is also the only rider explicitly given a name, and I’ll connect that to how she ‘rebrands’ herself as a goth punk seeker of darkness and going by an entirely different name upon introduction/throughout the series.

And that’s all 🫶 I love doing character assignments they’re so fun. There wasn’t that much to work from so they’re pretty simple reasons for assigning but I feel like the reasons fit enough.

“Don't join the book burners. Don't think you're going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go in your library and read every book...”

― Dwight D. Eisenhower

Republicans today are the antithesis of what they once were. They bear no resemblance to Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, or Dwight Eisenhower. They are not erudite like William F. Buckley. They are identified by the horrible things they stand for: hate, fear, and violence. They wrap themselves in flags and clutch bibles, while displaying the honor and loyalty of neither. Any dedication to the principles upon which this nation was founded demands full and complete opposition to them. If that’s what makes me a “liberal.” Then so be it.

[deadpresidents]

Would you agree that the gettysburg address is the best speech that has been given by any president?

No, I disagree. The Gettysburg Address wasn't even the best speech ever delivered by President Lincoln. Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address is the best speech in Presidential history. It's one of the greatest speeches in American history. I think it's one of the greatest pieces of writing in American history -- and not just writing from Presidents, but from any American writer.

Fellow Countrymen: At this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured. On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war -- seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came. One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and for his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
