I am interested in others views on this subject. I personally think that these centres have a great plan of action. The flaws are that grouping lots of codependent individuals with each other in a closed ‘big brother’ type environment is creating lots of ‘relationships’ between patients who pair off and enable each other to drink/do drugs again.
I am amazed at how people enter services to do the detox for their husband or wife and kids only to forget them in a few days and start a sexual relationship with another user.
What is your opinion on such services and do you have any better ideas?
I’m at my wits end. My wife who takes medicine for severe depression, anxiety and bi-polar recently went to the Dr. because of back pain which she has had for some time and was told it’s mostly due to her weight (100 over weight). She went and had the 3 series of shots injected into her back and the Dr. gave her pain pills to help until the shots took over. I found out 2 days ago that she called her Dr. for more pain pills and he refused to refill the prescription because he gave her 120 pills 10 days ago, and I believe she had 30 pills about a week prior to that, so 150 pain pills in 15 days. I’m not sure what to do anymore….Help!!
Marriage A:
Frequent fighting. Husband has attacked wife numerous times while intoxicated, requiring medical attention.
However, husband and wife spend a lot of time together and can be very loving toward each other.
Marriage B:
Very little fighting, just chronic, low-grade hostility. Rarely talk about important things, or anything at all. Appear to hate each other.
Rarely spend time together.
My father-in-law just had his second wife leave him because of his horrible excessive drinking (was married 30+ years the first time, 5+ the second), yet is constantly convinced that it was ‘all her fault’ both times that their respective marriages dissolved.
My wife and I have a great marriage with no such problems similar to this (both in our 40s, married 15+ years). We also admit that we’re nieve about how to understand alcoholism as well as knowing how to help him out.
In the past we’ve attended support groups for families of alcoholics. The problem now though is that hes 1000 miles away across the country and refuses to come and live with us even though we have the financial means to take care of him.
We’re just feeling lost without this man in our lives, and when hes not drinking is a very good guy. Hes on the verge of losing his job and its killing my wife.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
We’ve tried to get him to attend an AA meeting but he just says ‘I dont need those dam things, those are for drunks’.
These three guys got together one day and were talking about how drunk they got at a party the night before.
The first guy said, ’’Man I was so drunk last night I went home and blew chunks.’’
The second guy said, ’’Man that was nothing I was so drunk last night I was driving home and I got my DWI.’’
The third guy says, “Man that was nothing. I was so drunk last night I was driving home and I picked up a prostitute and my wife caught us in bed.’’
Then the first guy said, ’’No — you guys don’t understand! Chunks is my dog!”
Palin did nothing wrong in my book!
“she was within her right to dismiss her public safety commissioner”
Her husband, Todd, to use state resources as part of the effort to have Trooper Wooten dismissed. Todd says he did this with out his wife’s approval and knowledge.
Trooper Wooten is still a trooper…
What kind of trooper is Mike Wooten?
Union leaders defend him as a dedicated trooper who was already punished for his mistakes. Wooten’s record clearly indicates a serious and concentrated pattern of unacceptable and at times, illegal activity occurring over a lengthy period, which establishes a course of conduct totally at odds with the ethics of our profession,”
• Wooten used a Taser on his stepson.
• He illegally shot a moose.
• He drank and drove in his patrol car.
• He told others his father-in-law would “eat a f’ing lead bullet” if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.
• He has been married and divorced four times.
What she did is not against the law. Todd did what he thought was right. He thought Wooten was a bad person that should not be a cop. Do you blame him? Wooten got off for DWI, Child Abuse, Assault, DV and poaching because of the good o’l boy trooper buddies! YOUR RIGHT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. Union leaders say he was already punished for his mistakes! WTF is that? Any other person would have been thrown in jail!
How did she lie? She was asked if she abused her power in the firing of Walt Monogan! SHE DIDNT!!!
I already know this was stupid. So dont Flame me. I was pi$$ed and afterwards thought about how stupid it was, but
I slashed 2 tires on a guys truck that I had an affair with just out of spite (he lied to my husband when he confronted him about the affair). I’m on probation for a DWI from last year. It was dark, I turned off my lights, and did it. Then I went back later to wipe down the tires to make sure I didn’t have fingerprints on it. I didn’t see anyone and I don’t think anyone saw me. If they did…they don’t know me. If he called the cops to report it , would it be proof that I did it because he knows what kind of car I drive and what I look like? Incase someone did see it and say ‘ it was a blonde with a blue car’. Is that evidence since they don’t know me?
I haven’t talked to him in 6 months, He’s going through a divorced and I’ve called him saying it was his wife and hang up when he answers. So I’m hoping he thinks it her. But what could happen and is there proof?
Since the time our mother died (11-2006) I have helped my brother with bills,school supplies for his 2 kids. Then his wife dies so he sends them to me to live with (“till he gets himself together”) they were seperated for 7 yrs. So I get them on death benefits then he decides he wants them back (3 months later I get them again this time I go to S.S. office and get checks sent to me.) I have 3 of my own 1 with ADHD and 1 nephew from husbands brother. Now my brother’s son also has ADHD but is more aggressive. So my nerves couln’t take all 7 kids so they went to different Aunts on thier mothers side well my brother was still getting checks but has not had kids for 5 months now the kids are getting them and brother is having fits.Now he was in jail 1 month ago for PI, I usually get him out (happens alot,PI or DWI) but this time I said no!Then he messed with our dad (used him for money) He is under investigation with SS. I have no brother anymore. Its all about him. Am I right or wrong?

This is not comparing the ability of Obama to run the country with Palin’s inability. It shows the irony of the whole issue with Obama not being qualifed. You all know that was the major issue and still is the number one thing people point out with Obama. When it comes to Sarah Palin…with some republicans, her qualifacations don’t matter. It is not right.
i had one 10 years ago, right out of college. since then, i have gotten an mba and earn six figures in a corporate job and have two kids and a wife. i rarely have more than one drink a week as getting drunk, to me, was just a “college thing”
in a case like this, am i a sketchy person?
is this a really bad thing, could it be a problem in the future, as far as climbing further up the corporate ladder?
I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…

This mans beginning life is pretty basic (living in the suburbs in Chicago) When he was about 16 he began drinking in high school, getting drunk on the weekends with his friends and such. However, as high school passed he went on to college to become a Chef, although he didn’t become a Chef because his drinking issues hindered his performance and he dropped out. A couple years later he met his wife and they got engaged. Abruptly and unfortunately two years later his father passed away (age 24). This caused his alcoholism to worsen.
Anyways, he got married and had a kid (boy). However, he became depressed and wanted to do something with his life so he joined the Marine Corps. He fought in Somalia and eventually came back to his wife and kid on the base. Years passed and they moved to Chicago Illinois. The tight little family purchased a perfect little house in a nice neighborhood. Yet, in the years to come, the man began to abuse alcohol more and more. His tight little family slowly torn apart with numerous abusive fights between the man and wife. Eventually the wife and kid left the man to live in New York. Well weeks passed and the man lost his job for coming to work under the influence of alcohol. Again, weeks passed and the house eventually was foreclosed. The man needed to move out and he moved in with his mother (age 37). A month or so passed and he found a girl friend and moved in with her. and in weeks to come he left her because she was an abuser of drugs so he moved back in with his mom. This whole time he’s been lying to his son saying things are going to get better and that he will lose his alcoholism. After living with his mom he found out he had PTSD and couldn’t sleep. In weeks to come, the man made a bad decision to drive drunk and he flipped his car on the high way. The police came and he spent time in jail. When he got out he proceeded to promise his son he would get better. but now he doesn’t have anything, just him and his apartment. No one else (Age 45) all alone, drinking alcohol all the time and lying to his son…
I have been married for about 2.5 years. During most of that time, if my wife drinks, it’s about 1-2 glasses of wine with dinner.
However, about once a year she will have some type of serious binge with hard liquor usually resulting in a huge argument and talks of splitting up. This has happened 4 times, including 2 times before we were married, over a 3.5 year period.
One time about 1.5 years ago, I found out she was getting up in the middle of the night and sneaking drinks (hard liquor). I assume it happened multiple times, but I only know for sure of the one time. We talked about it, and she agreed to only drink beer and wine and claimed her system didn’t handle liquor well. I trusted her, and did not see any evidence of that behavior continuing.
Tonight when I talked to her on my way home from work, I sensed something was wrong as her speech was a bit slurred. She said she was just tired. When I got home she was VERY soundly asleep and didn’t wake up when I came in, or when I gently nudged her.
There was no other evidence to suggest she had gone back on her old habits, but I don’t want to constantly be suspicious and mistrustful.
We also have 2 small children, and while I know she would never intentionally do anything to harm them, if she is drinking when I’m not around, that potentially puts them in harms way.
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions? As I see answers, I may add details so please check back if you have time.
Thanks.
Christian Universalism teaches that all the Bible is given by
inspiration of God. (2 Tim. 3:16) That Jesus Christ is the savior of
all mankind through His suffering, death, and resurrection, which was
the greatest show of selfless love that ever was, that is now, and
ever will be.
Many Christian theologians believe that you can only be saved (Go to
heaven) if you accept Christ in this life. All people born from
Adam(until Christ comes) that haven’t accepted Him, will be cast into
the lake of Fire. They will burn in torment forever with the Devil and
His Angels.
The New Testament didn’t start until Christ died and was
resurrected.(Heb. 9:16,17) He was born under the law, (Gal. 4:4) and
preached the Gospel to the Jews. (Mt. 15:24) The Jews have rejected
the Lord and His words to this day.
These are some of the complaints that the Lord had against them
through 33 books of the Old Testament: They worshiped Bal, Asterof,
Golden Calves, and Moses’s Serpent. They were stiff– necked,
swearing, killing, stealing, adulators, whoring, rebellious, wicked,
abominable, defiling His sanctuaries, lewd, fornicators, bestiality,
profaned the Lord’s name, defiled themselves, despised the Lord’s Holy
Things, profaned His Sabbaths, extortionists, incestuous, filthiness,
robbed the poor, despised the Lord’s judgments, polluted the Lord’s
Sabbaths and His name, blasphemed the Lord, passed their sons through
the fire, corrupted, covetous, backsliders, neighing after their
neighbor’s wife,violated His laws, impudent, hard hearted, full of
violence, divination, soothsaying, unfaithful, degenerate, haughty,
killed the prophets. In Ezekiel alone their abominations are mentioned
40 times.
Preachers say that rejection of Christ is a ticket to Hell. The Lord’s
chosen people have rejected Him to this day, yet all Israel will be
saved. (Rom. 11:26) (Heb. 8:8,13) The Lord has concluded all Israel in
unbelief, that He might have mercy on all. (Rom. 11:32)
Their unbelief does not make the faith of the Lord with out effect.
(Rom3:3,4) There is no difference between Jews and Gentiles. (Rom.
l0:12) ( Job. 22:5-9)
The Lord only taught the Jews with parables, (Mk 13:34) (Mk
15:24)which are fictitious stories with a moral. (Strong’s
Concordance) The stories about separating the sheep from the goats,
(Mt 25:35) and Lazarus and the richman. (Lk 16:20-31) The only sin the
people in these parables committed was knowing to do good, and not
doing it. (Jas 4:17) Christ was making a point that all sin, no matter
what, is worthy of everlasting fire, even neglecting the poor, as they
did. Then there is the parable of entering the strait gate, and not
the wide one that leads to destruction. (Mt 7:13,14)
Of course the sins of drugs, alcoholism, sexual immorality, and
criminal activity will lead to an early death in this life. Christ
told the Jews that their blasphemy against The Holy Spirit would never
be forgiven, and in danger, or subject to eternal damnation (Mk 3:29)
First of all, in danger, or subject to, didn’t happen, it was a
threat. Secondly Christ hadn’t died for all sins yet. Having forgiven
us all trespasses, wiping out the handwriting of requirements that was
against us, and contrary to us. He took it out of the way, being
nailed to the cross. (Col 2:14) If all the parables that Christ taught
are still in effect today, then do as Christ commanded, cut off your
hand, your foot, and, pluck out your eye if you lust in your mind.
(Mt. 5:28,29,30)
The Bible says sin is breaking the commandments. (1 Jn 3:4) If you
break one point of the law, you are guilty of all ten. (Jas 2:10) Sin
is wickedness and evil, you can’t have one without the other. Whoever
says he has no sin is a liar.
(1 Jn 5:19)
The Lord saw that the wickedness, and evil thoughts of mankind were
continuous.(Gen 6:5)
All through the Bible we are told that we are sinners, evil, and
wicked. So are we solely and completely responsiblefor our sinful,
evil, wicked thoughts, and actions?
Whoever sins is of the devil. (1 Jn 3:8) he oppresses people, (Acts
10:38) the devil is seeking whom he may devour,
(1 Pt 5:8) he deceives us, (Rev 20:10) he snares us, (1 Tim 3:7) he
takes uscaptive at his will, (2 Tim 2:26) he beguiles us, (Gen 3:13)
he tempts us, (1Cor 7:5) he takes advantage of us,(2 Cor. 2:11) he
transforms himself into an angel of light, (2 Cor 11:14) hehinders us,
(1 Th 2:18) he has all power and signs, and lying wonders, (2
Thes.2:9) he is the god of this world, (2 Cor 2:4) he is the prince of
the power of the air,
(Eph 2:2) he blinds the eyes of unbelievers.
(Cor 4:4) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers,against the rulers of darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph 6:12) With
the power and deception the devil has over us, we are not on our own
when it comes to sin. He is the instigator, deceiver,and author of
lies; but the Lord remembers that we are but dust. (Psm 103:13)
Paul the chief apostle said these statements for everyone, from Adam
to the present. “What I want to do, (Good) that I don’t. What I don’t
want to, (Bad) I do, but it’s not me but the sin, wickedness, and evil
that dwells in me.
When will I be delivered from this body of death?” (Rom 7: 15,24) The
flesh, and it’s appetites lusts against our spirit, and our spirit
against the flesh. These are contrary to one another so that you don’t
do the things that you wish. (Gal 5:17) The spirit is willing but the
flesh is weak. (Mk 26:41)
Our spirit that resides in our body is really us, and our sinful flesh
is only a temporary vehicle, (Ps 144:4) while we wait for the
resurrection. Our spirit is holy, and we will be like the Angels. (Mk
12:25)
Everyone is responsible for their own sins, but Satan has his part in
them by deceiving us with the thoughts, and ideas, and we act on them
whether in ignorance or rebelliousness.
The Lord chastens us for our sins in this life and forgives us through
His suffering death, and resurrection for the next life. Satan pays
for his part in the lake of fire.
In Revelation, satan. the beast, the false prophet, those not in the
book of life, and those with the mark of the beast, will be cast into
the lake of fire. The armies of Gog and Magog will be killed I
destroyed, and they will confess Jesus Christ is Lord in the resurrection.
The cowardly, whoremongers, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will
be cast into the lake of fire. This last group committed much less sin
than Israel, but all Israel will be saved. Just who are these people?
Going back to the Gospels, when Christ’s boat landed at Gadarenes, and
a man that was possessed with demons met Him. (Mk 5:1-5) Christ cast
out the demons without the man repenting, or accepting Him. This same
thing happened with other possessed people Christ healed. This man’s
spirit wasn’t evil, but evil dwelled in him through the demons.
He was in his right mind after Christ cast them out. (Mk 5:15) As the
apostle Paul said “It’s not me but the evil within me.” (Rom 7:17) The
analogy to this event would be, if the possessed man took the mark of
beast and worshiped it. Who would be guilty, he, or the demons?
The same is for all demon possessed sinners who will be released from
this body of death, and saved through the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus
Christ. All the afore mentioned people will die as their demons are
cast into the lake of fire, and their spirit will return to God who
gave it, (Ecc 12:7)
He who has died is freed from sin. (Rom. 6:7) The people in the last
days, are no worse sinners that died in the flood, or Israel / Judah
with all their abominations, as the Lord said “Every knee shall bow,
and every tongue confess to God”
The Lord was showing the severity of sin, and Satan’s end for causing
it. The Lord will not always strive with mankind, for we are flesh.
(Gen 6:3) The end time scenario shows that Satan, with all his powers,
has no control over mankind after death, and Satan loses.
Let the reader contemplate on the Lord’s motives in these following
scriptures.
(1 Tim 2:4) The Lord will desire all mankind to be saved, and come to
the knowledge of the truth.
(Job 23:13) Whatever the Lord desires, that He does.
(1 Tim 4:10) The Lord is the savior of all Mankind, especially those
who believe.
(1 Jn 2:2) The Lord is not only the propitiation for our sins but for
the whole world.
(Mt 18:11) The Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.
(1 Jn 4:14) Our Heavenly Father sent Christ to be the savior of the world.
(Psl 15:3) Our God is in heaven, and He does whatever He pleases.
(Jn 1:29) Christ takes away the sins of the world.
(Heb 10:10) We are sanctified through the body of Christ, once for all.
(Col 1:20) Christ made peace through the blood of His cross, and
reconciled all things in heaven, and earth.
(Gal 1:4) Christ gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us
from this present evil age, according to the will of our God, and Father.
(Mt 6:10) Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
(Ps 135:6) Whatever the Lord pleases, He does in heaven, and on earth.
(Jn 1:29) Christ the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
(1 Tim 1:15) This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptance,
that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners.
(Lk 19:10) The Son Of Man came to seek, and to save that which was lost.
(Job 42:2) The Lord can do everything, and no purpose can beheld from Him.
(Jer 32:27) There is nothing too hard for the Lord:
(Mt 19:25) The disciples asked, “Who can be saved?”
(Mt 19:26) Christ answered, “With God all things are possible.”
Most of the following scriptures will be accomplished at the white
throne judgement. Note that the Bible never says that you are forced
to bow the knee, and judgement doesn’t mean lake of fire.
(Rom. 14:11) The Lord said “Every knee shall bow to me,and every
tongue shall confess to God.
(Phil 2:10,11) At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow of heaven
,and earth, and under the earth, and every tongue shall confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord.
(Rom 10:9) If you confess to Christ, and believe God raised Him
fromthe dead, you will be saved.
(I Jn 4:15) Whosoever confesses Jesus is the son of God, God dwells in
him, and he in God.
(Rom 10:13) Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord, will besaved.
Note.. .The word ever denotes time. It means eternal, without
ending.(Strongs)
(Rev 7:1) The Lord comes on clouds, and every eye shall see Him.
(Jn 6:40) Everyone that sees the Son of God, and believes in Him,
shall have everlasting life, and He will raise him up on the last day.
(Ps 52:10) All the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
(Lk 3:6) All flesh shall see the salvation of our God..
(Isa 40:5) The glory ofthe lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall
see it together.
(Jn 12:32) Christ will draw all mankind to Himself.
(Ps 86:9) All nations shall worship the Lord.
(Dan 7:14 ) All peoples, nations, and languages will serve the Lord.
(Isa 26:9) The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
(Isa 61:11) The Lord will cause righteousness and praise to spring
forth before all nations.

coming.
(Ps 66:3,4) The Lord’s enemies will submit to Him, and ALL THE EARTH
shall worship Him.
(Ps 65:2,3 ) All flesh will come to the Lord. He has provided
atonement for them.
(2 Cor 6:2) Today is the day of salvation. Note…Every day is today.
It’s not yesterday, and it’s not tomorrow. At the white throne
judgement it will be today.
The reader may have their favorite scriptures that seems to nullify
some of the preceding ones, and put their spin on a few. Some might
say they were taken out of context, and maybe some were.
The preponderance of scriptures is overwhelming, to prove that the
Lord wants all His offspring to be in His Kingdom, and that His love
never fails. God is love. (1 Jn 4:8) He formed and fashioned us in our
mothers whom. (Job 31:15) He created mankind in His own image after
His likeness. (Gen 1:26) He numbers the hairs of our head. (Lk 12:7)
We are His offspring. (Acts 17:28) The Lord has great love for us.
(Eph 2:4) Nothing can separate us from the love of God. (Rom. 8:3)
Here in is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent
His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 Jn 4:10)
The main reason this document was written is to defend our Heavenly
Father’s and our Lord Jesus Christ’s love and mercy that never fails.
It seems that theologians, by their teaching, believe there is a great
contest between the Lord and the devil. The one who gets the most
people in the end, wins. If Christ doesn’t save all the sinners He
died for, He has lost the contest, and Satan wins. NO WAY! The Lord
can do everything, and no purpose of His can be withheld From Him.
(Job 42:2)
Why do we witness to people, and send out missionaries, if all will be
saved anyway? Because the Lord said “Go and preach the Kingdom of
God.”(Lk9:60) The Lord wanted laborers for Christ. (Mt 9:37,38) Many
are called, but few are chosen.
( Mt 20:6) Some are predestined, as the apostles, Abraham, Moses, and
the prophets were for the Lord’s government in the Kingdom. (Eph1:11)
Some will say “If all mankind will be saved, as the Bible says (1 Tim
3:4) ; then I can have my fun, with drugs, immoral sex, and what ever
pleases me. The Lord came down hard on Israel, with plagues and wars
against them.
Tens of thousands were killed by the Angel of the Lord for their sins.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (
Heb10:31) in this life.
All through the Bible there are scriptures that seem to be
prerequisites for getting into heaven. Such as keep the commandments,
be righteous, repent, be blameless, overcome, endure to the end, be
perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect,( Mt 5:48) be holy, and
without blame,
(Eph 1:4) Christ will establish our hearts blamelessin holiness before
our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His
saints (1 Thess 3:13 ) This last scripture says it all. When Christ
comes back all these things will be established in our resurrected
spirit bodies. This can’t be accomplished in our sinful state.
People believe that once an edict is given by God it can’t be
changed.”I am the Lord, I change not” (Mal 3:6) The Lord’s love never
fails His mercy endures for ever. God doesn’t change, but He makes
changes. The two greatest reversals for the Lords edict for mankind,
was” I will destroy Mankind whom
I have created from the face of the earth, both man, and beast,
creeping things, and birds of the air, because of the wickedness of
man, and I am sorry that I have made them.” (Gen 6:7) Noah found grace
in the eyes of the Lord, and the Lord spared a remnant. If He hadn’t
you would not be here.
The Lord said to Moses “Let me alone, that I may destroy Israel
/Judah, and blot out their name from under heaven, and make a mightier
and greater nation than they.”(Deut 9:14) Moses begged the Lord not
to, and by the grace of God, He relented, and Israel is still a nation
today.
Is it such a stretch of the imagination, that God who made such an
awesome reversal from destroying all life, and the Nation of Israel
from the face of the earth would want to save all His offspring that
He loves?
Especially when Christ from the cross said. “Forgive them Father, for
they know not what they do.” Is there anything worse in the history of
mankind, than torturing and killing our Heavenly Father’s Son; the
co-creator of the universe? For this He forgave all mankind, for they
know not what they do.
(Lk 23:34) The Lord remembers that we are dust.(Ps 103:14)
Dear reader if you still believe that your unsaved loved ones will go
into the lake of fire to be tormented forever, because you think
Christ can’t possibly fulfill His mission to save all mankind,
believing that, you should spend night and day in prayer and fasting
for them, (Lk 2:37)(Acts 20:3 1) and with tears, and supplications! (2
Ch 6:39)
Many preachers embellish the scriptures, and tell little stories as
analogies, so may this writer take licence on a seemingly logical
explanation of why mankind was given this lengthy time period on earth
to be deceived, and harassed by the devil, and his angels?
If the Lord had cast the devil, and his angels into a prepared lake of
fire at the time he rebelled and left Adam, and Eve sinless as they
were in the garden of Eden to propagate the world ; then some time in
the future as mankind advanced in knowledge and power without Satan
hindering us, we probably would have rebelled against God, being
ignorant of sin, and it’s consequences.
Like Lucifer we would not have had Christ as a savior, and our sins
would have been on our own heads. The Lord had to have an example for
mankind so awesome, and terrible, that we would remember through all
eternity. Mankind has been immersed in satanic sin and chaos without
end, and has had our nose rubbed in it to show us once and for all
what sin and it’s consequences are.
The redeeming factor is, while we take part in the horrendous sin that
Satan deceives us with, we have a Savior Jesus Christ. This example
for all eternity is to show us what did happen when as a spirit being,
there is, no second chance in the kingdom, as the devil and his angels
have found out.
If you have read this complete document, and still believe the Lord
would cast even one of His offspring that He loves into hell, then you
don’t believe the God of the Bible; for He is Love and His love never
fails.
The Bottom Line. Every knee shall bow to the Lord, and every tongue
shall confess to God. (Rom 14:11) For God so loved the world, that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not
perish. but have everlasting life. (Jn 3:16) If you confess to God,
you believe in Him.
(Some scriptures are paraphrased, it’s recommended you look each one up)
* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you’re ‘exotic, different.’
* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, yours is a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs,
Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest ranking executive and next in line behind a man in his eighth decade.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a true Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you’re very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s values don’t represent America ‘s.
* If you’re husband is nicknamed “First Dude”, with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
Is that how Republicans think?
My husband is a sober alcoholic now. I married and lived with the active alcoholic in him for 13 years. I’m still married to him now 15 years. Do you think a book about my life dealing with his problem would sell books or do you think there are enough books out there about the disease and nobody would care about how the wife of an alcoholic dealt with it.
