Then it appears wrong to you. 

R : My appologies.

 One thing I *do* know is that a 
falsehood
cannot be the truth. 

R : How can you say for sure that this is "falsehood"?

Do you know the Mind of God? Do you KNOW that He's NOT
supportive of America, despite our sin? My God is The
God of Compassion. No, I don't buy into "America is
right and 'they' are not". Nor do I buy into our
having "dibs" on God, as Americans. Personally, I
think that America is a "christian country" with a
"lower case c" but that DOES NOT mean that we can't
change, so quit being such a "damper"!

So even if none of us knows what the truth *is*, 
we
can at least get a handle on some things that the
truth is *not*.

R : I absolutely agree!

And, obviously, I don't have dibs on this stuff --
that is why I post
links to my sources.  If you haven't done the research
yourself, then 
the
least I can do is try to point out where you can start
doing so.

That's rather presumptuous of you! How do you know
what I have and/or have not researched? Just because
YOU don't believe the forward doesn't mean that I
don't have the right to. Why should I even trust where
you're pointing to...I need to be focussed on where
GOD is pointing me to.

Fair enough.

> Is that not Truth?

Well, it's an exhortation, at any rate.

R : whatever.

important thing, I

Prayer.

Sorry, but you know what the road to hell is paved
with, yes?

R : Certainally not Prayer.

Well, when an error needs correcting, I tend to send
the correction to
everyone who got the error.  Lies can get halfway
'round the world 
while
the truth is still putting its boots on, and all that.

R : My friends are none of your buisness, nor is the
way in which God leads me! You're quite arrogant, you
know.

have caused.

Then tell them that, and be careful not to say
anything that might 
cause
more harm down the road.  Yes, believe it or not,
telling Americans 
that
their way is God's way, no matter what they do, *can*
cause harm.


My intetion was NEVER to tell Americans that "no
matter what they do" they're doing things "God's way"
merely because they're Americans! That's not what the
forward said to me and, even if it was, LEAVE MY
FRIENDS ALONE! I am responsible for following the Holy
Spirit's guide...not pleasing you. I witness to my
friends upon The Spirit's leading...not yours.

Blessings..."all I'm trying to do is tell the Truth...
I don't know who else to be
more and more I'm secretly just me
OPEN YOUR EYES!",
Rhonda

np "Goodbye"
