Who do you trust - That Will Never Be Betrayed?

[Elderman]

But people Trust thyself only, and another shall not betray thee.” Although this cynical observation was made 250 years ago, many today express similar sentiments. A spirit of mistrust permeates society.

Mibs, Thank you.

Elderman, I don't pray to any God - but your abject refusal to openly acknowledge yours is surely not a compliment to him. St Peter would no doubt be proud of you.

[Elderman]

One of the first things that "True thinking"people realize is that, instead of there being something wrong with God, there must be something wrong with the prayers. Indeed, one defect is glaring. This is the prayers’ inconsistency. Yes, prayers uttered by preachers of a religious faith often conflict with prayers uttered by other preachers of that same faith. Thus during the two world wars Protestant and Catholic clergymen, in both Germany and America, prayed for victory for their respective sides. Here were clergymen of the same faith presumably praying to the same God, yet their prayers were not of the same mind! They were horribly inconsistent. In effect the clergymen prayed for the destruction of their spiritual brothers.

...in *your* humble opinion ?

[naomi24]

//In effect the clergymen prayed for the destruction of their spiritual brothers//

Being of the same faith, I wonder how God decided which to oblige?

[sandyRoe]

He is a pragmatist and obliged the people with the bigger military-industrial complex and the atomic bomb.

[Elderman]

Naomi: As God is not partial-he is not going to oblige either side,they are not praying to the true God. ( ACTS 10:34, 35)

[daisya]

Same old, same old...one side for, one side against...what valid points are gained here by either side as one can never preach to the converted!

[DTCwordfan]

It is not very clever to replicate others on AB, Elderman - and who would trust you now - masquerading as Truthabounds and Goodlife. Naomi and JTH picked up on you, you deciever, and going against everything that you preach.

Not very clever is it, to have the same line of prose replicated in different names - in fact, I would term it rank amateurish and plonkerish.

It wouldn't surprise me if you saw a bolt of lightning hitting you from the Ed and that is his right as, just like God, he doesn't like being deceived.

[Elderman]

Yes,When wisdom enters into your heart and knowledge itself becomes pleasant to your very soul, 11 thinking ability itself will keep guard over you, discernment itself will safeguard you, 12 to deliver you from the bad way, from the man speaking perverse things, 13 from those leaving the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, 14 from those who are rejoicing in doing bad, who are joyful in the perverse things of badness; 15 those whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their general course; (Proverbs 2:10-15)

[naomi24]

Elderman, //those whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their general course//

Coming from someone as duplicitous as you, that has to be a joke.

[Elderman]

So,political leaders warn that a worldwide state of emergency is developing. Perhaps you have asked: ‘What is the solution to such urgent world problems as the stockpiling of armaments, mass poverty, food shortage, inflation and unemployment? Ect, Can you trust world leaders to provide a solution?

[naomi24]

//Can you trust world leaders to provide a solution? //

I trust them rather more than I trust your reputedly omnipotent God. He's done nothing whatsoever up to yet!

[Elderman]

Yes,He who laughs last-laughs longest.
