The Impeachment of Donald Trump

Anyone who cares to follow  context will see that as the Democrat Party of the USA and its far Left allies have hated Donald Trump since the very start, there is no good faith  reason to believe that they are motivated by anything other than this hatred as regards this impeachment. This is therefore a malicious and frivolous prosecution  and shows the lawlessness of those participating in it.

The latest attempt, after the Mueller Report showed that there was no evidence of Russian collusion (that there was no evidence of crime never stopped them in their determination to  seek other excuses to accuse) is an allegation of Trump's illegal interference in another country's politics, and the basis of impeachment proceedings itself,  to wit his alleged  asking  Ukraine's President to find dirt on Joe Biden (a prospective Democrat Presidential Candidate) in return for Aid to  Ukraine.

The White House published the transcript  of the allegedly criminal phone call,  and this  is a video on BitChute which read out the salient  passages and analysed the whole sordid affair in the light of a malicious hit piece by an organ which should know better, namely Christianity Today, a magazine founded by Billy Graham, calling for Trump's removal and endorsing the malice and lies of the democrats.

The video shows that the quid pro quo was done by Joe Biden, not Trump  to protect his own son who was involved in illegal activity in a  company  in Ukraine on the board of which he sat. Biden asked some official to stop an investigation which would indict his son, in return for said aid.

President Trump was merely asking that  this investigation should be resumed. Was there political  motive? Probably, but was a request for an investigation that was illegally shut down to be resumed itself illegal?

But the democrats in their insane rage  have to twist words before their very eyes.

If they do not care about the reputation  of the democratic process or their own country that is on them, but for them to accuse Trump of these attitudes is sheer effrontery. Jung the psychologist called it projection and it is increasingly the Left which do this these days.

Donald Trump is no scholar, no gentleman and no saint. I know this.

but since when did the democrats become such  champions of petit bourgeois sensitivities?

only when it suited them to  invoke such in order to "roll" an office holder they personally hated.

After all Democrat JFK was a notorious womanizer who would so the saying goes, chase anything in a skirt.  Clinton lied to Congress about having sex with an intern - and he was in fact guilty of these charges; and IMO the worst of them all was the smooth talking hypocrite Barak Obama. the promise breaker who never closed down the torture centre at Guantanamo Bay, expanded Americas involvement in wars and after condemning Bush Jr's  use of signing statements fell to making some of his own.

All without a peep from these so moral and righteous Democrats so passionate for the rule of Law

The scandal is not the things Trump is charged with but the fact that the democrats are so convulsed with the  delusions that  spring from hatred as to bring a frivolous prosecution to either remove or influence an upcoming election.

Such corruption of due process and politics will indeed contribute to the growing mountain of iniquity whereby God will punish the US of A.

But this iniquity is not complete, the time of wrath which may have the country split asunder is not  yet

Folau's Settlement

I have no interest in sport of any kind.

But i was following with some interest the Israel Folau saga when he was sacked by Rugby Australia for daring to express a religious opinion online.

He sued them and settled out of court. It is clear that Rugby Australia knew they would lose, for there is much support for Mr Folau.

the arrogance of these people for excluding a christian while daring to claim "inclusiveness " shows the rank hypocrisy of the so called Progressive Left

So, the theological opinion I draw from this is that,  well if a christian can sue someone for religious discrimination and actually win the times are not yet at the very end where it is prophesied that we Christians wills be hated by EVERYONE.
i m not one of those haters who looks forward to the end of the Age chiefly as i know we will not be conveniently teleported out (known as the pretribulation rapture) before the trouble starts, but will have to endure it and will be massacred almost to a man. so i will rejoice in small things and be pleased for free speech and for Mr Folau, but know it wont last long. but maybe it wont crumble to dust in my ;lifetime. i am 61. here's hoping

"Filioque" Does It Matter?


I watched a video in which a Greek Orthodox priest looked at Catholicism.

and i was stunned to hear what they regards as the chief heresy of Catholicism,

Filioque

I will explain

The ancient creed of the Church says that the Holy spirit proceeds (ie comes from) from the Father. some time in the mid middle ages someone added the word filioque to make the passage say that the Spirit proceeded from the Father AND the Son.

and this piece of trivial minutia the Greek Orthodox are idolatrously obsessed about to the point of mania and they will not let it go. Even after more than a thousand years.

I wrote the following in reply to the video:


So. we Christians actually know enough about the inner workings of the Holy Trinity such that we can dare pronounce with certainty EITHER WAY whether the Spirit proceeds from the Father alone or from the Father and the Son. Really? This is itself a self willed and daring speculation i would not even dream of making, and i certainly would not require others to hold it on pain of damnation. I know I have the Spirit for I was an atheist; and only by the power of said Spirit could I ever declare that Jesus Christ is Lord. This same spirit testifies to me of the divinity of the Son, the Trinity, faith, redemption and all the rest. And he convicts me of sin that I may repent of it. Do you know any other Spirit who would do this? But the question of filioque has never come up in 35 years of dialogue with the Holy Spirit of Christ. I neither know nor care which it is, though i am adept enough as a thinker to be able to argue both ways, coming up only with an idea not any real knowledge of a mystery we all should deem too sacred to dare interfere with and if i have the spirit what matters is having the spirit, seen by other things, and certainly defying St Paul by wrangling about words to the ruin of the hearers is not one of them

If some church is going to draw a line in the sand over a piece of trivial theological minutiae it shows it s own presumption and arrogance and i for one will not seek them.

it seems to me this arose when someone altered a piece of church tradition, some recitation of doctrine which had become hidebound dead and legalistic; and in their fury at something they thought was time honoured being defaced they declared this alteration a heresy on a matter where the Bible is largely silent or at least ambiguous.

but Greek quibbling over trivia is not new.

you have heard of the Old Believer Schism in 17th century Russia? they quarreled over such mind numbing trivia as to whether to cross themselves with two fingers twice or three fingers three times, and one side savagely persecuted the other side who were too hidebound to give way over a complete trivium.

And we wonder why the world looks at us quarreling over such stuff and blaspheme the name of God because of US (also a scripture quote) and decide that the gospel of Christ is nonsense and the stamping ground of bigots.

Here my post ended.

If I have the Spirit I do not need to know the details save that He came through Jesus Christ and witnesses to Him. , in fact what is more important to all of us is believing him. confessing our unbelief when he makes it clear to us, repenting of our sins, both of thought and life as He leads , and obeying His promptings, which , unlike the impossible Law of God, are the nature of the yoke which is easy and light.

Such violent and arrogant quarreling over Who sent the Holy Spirit is proof of not having Him at all, or of having forsaken Him for self perfection in the flesh.
