The greatest threat to our nations security right now is a lack of spiritual maturity. If one does not know who Christ is, they, in reality do not know who they are. We are men created in the image and likeness of God.
Who will defeat America? I tell you now as a King in Christ our future is not only secure but the victory of future battles has allready been won!
Our flag stands proudly at the heavenly council.
Yes men, spiritual maturity is the key to victory and it is God The Almighty King of Kings who has appointed not just His Kings on the earth but also his; Apostles, prophets, evangilists, pastors and teachers so that we should attain to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Now we go to the battle of religon! This is the war you must confront in your own faith. Worthless traditions of men or the power and dominion of "Christ The Warrior" ruling and reigning in you.
This is Christianity! The same as one lives in America and is a citizen of this nation, we are citizens of heaven and live in Christ.
Fear is the defeat of every man for fear is not of man but of satans nature, who is the ultimate enemy. When a man partakes of fear his faith is saying to him or her that they are in oposition to God and defeat becomes inevitable. However if one is truly devoted to God, it is he who will correct you and then once again enable you to be victorious.
God is love. We as man are created in that likeness and there is no fear in love. Perfect love casts out fear for fear has to do with judgement.
Will God judge us for liberating Iraq? If this question is present within your heart then you have entered into fear. A very dangerous place indeed, for you have placed yourself in judgement before the true and only judge of all man, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Fear is satanic and one is partaking of satans nature rather than God's. Personally I would not want anyone fighting beside me who did not believe in our cause. I would not trust them or be able to have confidence in them because they have seperated themselves from Christ who with justice judges and makes war.
They have made themselves an enemy to all that is good and pertains to manhood. Evil is evil and good is good and if you cannot define what is good you then are not mature in Christ and will iether submit fully to the nobiltiy of a Warrior of God or you can go home because you are a risk.
No I am not soldier on the battle field in fleshly form, for flesh gives birth to flesh and spirit to spirit. I am the soldier beside you that is dressed in the full armor of God.
I sit upon His throne and in Him I rule and reign. From this throne flashes of lightning come. This lightning in fact is answered prayer going forth as God is light and John seeing the lightning called it as he saw it.
I tell you the truth as surely as Americans go forth to fight the fight of valor and honor so also does lightning flash from His throne to enable you to be victorious.
Tell me men have you seen His crown or have you held in your hand the sceptre of righteousness? Fear not for I am with you says The Lord who lives and rules in me.
Ok some of you are thinking and saying who is the crazy man? Yes that is right, out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks and if you would also like to rule and reign in Christ discovering your dominion in Him then you had better renew your mind to that of Christ who is our Victory.
Rise or fall, who will defeat America? Take it easy fellows, rest in the knowledge of God being sure that he who walks in love walks in God. Can God be defeated?
You who doubt go to your flag now! His name is Old Glory. Can you see his heart, is it your heart? What does this flag mean to you? This is the banner that goes before us. Are you one with Old Glory? His name is victory.
He beholds to all nations the light of His glory. Valor; honor, power, strength, wealth, might to name but a few of his attributes.
Their is now wisdom no insight no plan that can suceed against The Lord the horse is drawn and made ready for the day of battle but the victory rests with The Lord.
Is this your flag? Do you live as a warrior of old dressed in your armour. Truth your belt, righteousness your breastplate, peace the smoke of annailiahated enemies of God left under your boots behind you. Your sword his word of life. Your shield your faith coming against those who are cowards and will not forcefully advance upon evil but seek the lie of peace while evil supresses good.
Put on your crowns men for we as men are crowned in glory and honor. Jesus said, Father I have given them the glory, so that they may be one as we are one.
I am finished, and I am confident that I will have oposition by religous cowards founded in the philosophies and traditions of men rather than in Christ. Feeling confident in yourselves religous hypocrites. Come to the party for I will slay you with the breath of my lips following the example of which Christ set me.
Men of God who are in Christ go to Corinthians 1 chapter 15 verse 24 to 28 and see our duty but not just our duty our evetual absolute victory as God has spoken.
Tell me anyone who happens to read this letter who opposeed the destruction of Husseins regime. Was he given warning and oppurtunity to repent? Yes, most genourously he was and so have you.

May The Lord of Glory arise within you and his joy carry you onward. Onward snorting like a horse, roaring as the lion, plowing like an ox and seeing as the eagle who rests in his nest contmeplating the next prey he will feed to his children imputing into them true nature of manhood.

As much as I would like to say 'Amen' to you I cannot in good faith support your post for this reason. Everything you believe is based on individual faith and that is all it is. You believe because you believe. Well in case you have not noticed, the Bad Guys believe too. When Christ returns there will be no doubt as to his presence. He will not cloak his presence in mystery. It will be announced and it will leave no one wondering if this is really it. Please, I understand your need to spread the word but you will find that those that need to hear it are not listening here.

No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney

So your trying to tell me that because of heathen athiests like myself this nation will collapse, even though i've sworn my life to support it? How about the thousands of other athiests in the military, or the thousands of other religions who are serving this country? Spiritual unity is not that strong of a thing anymore. If it works for you, then you have my blessings, but it takes more then that to make a country run. Hell... look at our founding fathers. Jefferson denounced Christ on his deathbed. Yet he was one of the greatest contributors to the formation of this nation. James Madison is qouted for "Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise." There is a whole list more if you want to see this. Founding Fathers and Religion

If this nations founders didn't believe in religion, then how is religion key in keeping it together?

Today… There will be a magic show at zero-nine-thirty!

Chaplain Vayo will tell you about how the free world will conquer Communism with the aid of God and a few marines!

God has a hard-on for marine because we kill everything we see!
He plays His games, we play ours!

To show out appreciation for so much power, we keep Heaven packed with fresh souls! God was here before the Marine Corps! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your *** belongs to the Corps! Do you ladies understand?”

hey mr german guy, with your countries bleak past of human rights abuse (unparalelled by anything the US, or anyone else, would or could ever do) and volkswagens and what not,

dont be a playa hater, be a congratulator.

i really think thats what it all boils down to.

you live in a nation of sheep. if you call nations that side with the US *** kissers, just look at what your nation's people took part in.
MEIN KOMPFF forever!!! or not.

Unless we all wake up it will be us who destroys this great country. Debts are uncontroable. Our government is turning into a dictorship. The whole country is turning to Socialism. Our schools are controlled by the government. We have completely taken religion out of our nation. The supreme court is going nuts. They should all be impeached. I've read the constitution and I swore to protect and defend it with my life if neccessary.. All of our politicans and appointees take the same oath. but it is only the soldiers who make the supreme sacrifice. Name one Federal Judge who even considerd making that sacrifice. Check out the past of the Bush family and don't forget the millions cheney is making by killing our soldiers. How about ashcroft, he won't be happy untill every citizen in this country has no rights left. Check the papers and read how our citizens are being prosecuted by the government and all rights are suspended. Sorry for bubbling over, but I spent my time in Hell and never even got a thank you, unless eggs and tomato's count

How many supreme court justices have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their nation? Heres a better question. Whose job is it to do that. Yes they may take the same vow, but it is not their jobs to put their lifes in danger as we do. What do you mean by look at the Bush family history? I see succesful politicians, and war heros. What do you see? The government has not removed religiong from this country either. Don't know where your stationed at, but here in South Carolina you can't throw a rock without hitting 5 churches. I have yet to see how this country is becoming socialistic. I might be wrong in the but the whole NAFTA thing is an extremely capitalistic. Your spouting out the same crap that countless other people here have and it's all liberal propagandic bullcrap. Come back when you have real arguments.

How many supreme court justices have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their nation?

Well, by definition, if they paid the ultimate sacrifice they couldn't be appointed to the supreme court and appointees are generally older than 45 (meaning they would be retired military).

quote:

I still don't understand this 1/3 aid per capita thing. (?)

Don't bother. It's meaningless unless you know exactly how it's been calculated. It's a statistic that is subject to extreme error. You here these sob stories about people working 10 hours a day making $0.75/hour in a Nike shoe factory, but what they don't tell you is that, without the Nike shoe factory, there wouldn't be any jobs, and they don't tell you that an apartment rents for $20/month and you can buy a months worth of groceries for $15 (in Romania I paid $50/month for my apartment and then I bought it for $3000)

The US isn't obligated to give anything to anybody. Maybe the EU, IMF, UN and World Bank (all the same thing in my book) give money to other countries, but 90% of it is wasted going to dictators and their families and friends and friends of friends or is used to buy weapons (1984 We Are The World is trying to raise money to buy food for Eithopian famine victims while the Eithopian government is buying $2 billion dollars in Soviet military hardware).

If Cambodia fell off the face of the earth nobody would know, it would have zero effect on the US. So what?

The GNP of Texas is greater than all of western Europe. If Texas left the union, it's standard of living would increase, and in less than 10 years it would be wealthier than the US. Texas is classified as a neutral state, as opposed to a 'welfare state' (California, New York, Florida) or a 'slave state' (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana). The welfare states get in excess of $2.00 in federal money returned to them for every $1.00 collected. Somebody has to be subsidizing these welfare states and its the people of the slave states who get $0.60 to $0.80 back for every $1.00 the federal government collects (I'm not talking about individual tax returns I'm talking about federal spending, programs, grants etc). Texas and a few other states are neutral because they get a little more or less than $1.00 back for every $1.00 collected (depending on the year). It's issues of taxation and tax spending that will probably bring down the US.

If Texas or another did leave, would the federal government use military force to prevent it? If they would, then we haven't come very far. Besides, it would be most hypocritical since the US has recognized the independence of Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia & Herzogovina (ironically, that's why the Texas National Guard is there), the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, numerous 'Stans that were formerly part of the Soviet Union and CIS, West Pakistan (now Pakistan) and East Paskistan (now Bangladesh) when they declared independence from India, then Bangladesh when it declared independence from West Paksitan and, of course, Israel.

I read your post untill this line:

and then I stopped.

Texas is 9nth. Moron!

Anyhow. GNP is better for per capita statistics. Anyhow since Texas is not a country you need to call it GSP. (Gross State product)

Hmmm...the Lord said the the greatest nation shall fall; he didn't say which, he said that it would! Now, thus far, all the "greatest" nations have fallen, Rome, Greece, England, and who is greatest now? We are. And since we are the melting pot, we will be destroyed from the inside, no country can defeat us, our defeat will be on the inside...We have muslims, buddhists, Judaist, etc., etc., so many differences and so much hate will eventually turmoil into something more than a feeling, we will have a civil war, and there will be no winners, and then you will see the might of God!

No offense to the religous ones who have good intentions but religon is the reason we are at war and the reason 9/11 happend. Extreme religous people point fingers at each other claiming they are right and the other is wrong and they are the root of evil. bahhhhhh, driving me nuts!

*sigh* Are we doing the my nation is better then your nation bit? Like 2 year olds, "nah uh, yeah huh, nah huh, yeah huh" this continues until an adult comes into the play room and sends them to thier corners.

We have the best bread worldwide..thats for sure. Not to speak about sausages and beer..oh and did I forget cars? Before I finish I should also give credit to our magnetic speedtrain and and .. the strange breed of the BAVARIAN!

We have the best cars????? I think we have the best trucks but as far as cars go I have to disagree..... sorry

Some foreigners...

USMCJROTC- ADMIRATION OF THE NATION

darnit! I didn't realize that 1aSchnitzel was not in the USA. lol errrr....

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership had an interesting doomsday scenario on their website. It had to do with the collapse of the social security pyramid scheme, and the resulting anarchy that would ensue. The government would try to maintain power by force, and by disarming the populace.

I'll try and find the address if i can.

Cant see anyone right now. Maybe it will not be defeated as such, compare it to the preceeding super-power, the British Empire. It wasnt defeated as such, just slid out of power somehow. Maybe the same will happen to the states. Anyway, it will happen if history is any guide. And the US will go through the same hangover that all former super-powers go through. But its not that important, is it? Britain is a good place to live and its hangover was quite short, only 50 years or so.

It is a question of probability. Of course one day the US will slip out of power but the question is if it may be part of just a bigger and more powerful confederation.

We should unite as the nation of Earth and conquer the galaxy. The French would jump at the chance to have some adventures in Uranus.
