To Think Outside the Box, It Helps First to Understand What’s IN the Box — Alastair Crooke


President Trump doesn't seem to have any idea of what is in the box. He may find out soon.

Religeous fanatics are the most scary. You can't reason with them as they think they are doing what God wants, even if it is starting WW3.

You can't reason with them ... kv

But, in the case of Jews and Christians, you could quote this to them:

Alas, you who are longing for the day of the Lord,
For what purpose will the day of the Lord be to you?
It will be darkness and not light;
As when a man flees from a lion
And a bear meets him,
Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall
And a snake bites him.
Will not the day of the Lord be darkness instead of light,
Even gloom with no brightness in it?

“I hate, I reject your festivals,
Nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies.
“Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings.
“Take away from Me the noise of your songs;
I will not even listen to the sound of your harps.
“But let justice roll down like waters
And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Amos 5:18-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB) [bold added]
