How many lives must we suffer lost? Nazi Germany failed, yet we still suffer the damage of their hubris. The atrocities happening right now in the Middle East are directly linked to that fallen regime. And now our own country stands ready to march down that same path. It is not hubris to fight evil.
I was involved on a Christian group im college (100 yrs ago 😂) where the leader considered Frank Schafer Sr's books as near gospel. I admire Frank for breaking free from all that he knew & speaking out.
Thank you. Been sobbing all day. It feels like soo people are uncaring. It’s scary. We all feel that I know. Who are these people? I’m worried as we all are.
Same, glad I'm not the only one. I fear for Ukraine and our European allies. Trump will sell them right down the river, not to mention the damage he wants to do to us. Anyone here who's not white, straight and male has a target on their back. Have you seen Trump's enemies list? It's extensive.

The beast is in place- Media is going to become a weapon of mass destruction. Trump’s lies are going to become our reality. Welcome yo Amerussia! It’s being reported across the board that all sites that support the democratic views and voices have had the majority of their subscribers being purged, by the thousands!

Thank you Frank i am in complete agreement with you I woke up this morning horrified about our future.....but still filled with hope...listening to you gave me that hope.....I believe in the ark of justice I also believe in the humility you speak of.Thank you for your inspiring words!
You sure made a lot of food for thought Frank. Now for my own introspection, my rehab of reality. I really needed this today.❤ After this loss, I felt half dead. Thank You.
I'm gonna take a cue from my great great...gramps who left England and brought America the first viable industry (tobacco growing) in 1609 and leave the country for greener pastures. America is lost and I am gone. Religion is mind cancer.
I've thought about leaving the country - but with Trump - there is no safe place on the earth. Trump will give Putin cart blanch to do anything he wants in Europe...
@@njay4361you can think about it but they are not letting people in anymore and it's expensive. That's where the billionaires moved after they f.d us over
Frank , thank you. I needed this. I’m so upset right now. Thank you for being here for me now and all of us who need emotional support right now.,Thank you.
Mr. Schaeffer, I enjoyed your talk. I just found you and yet you’re saying all the things that I’ve always felt. You were able to stop my tears. And I thank you for that.
We need to secure our nuclear weapons. A president is given the sole authority to launch them -- no checks or balances. This has to change ASAP. Time is running out.
The president can't just open the suitcase and push a button. There are steps to take before that happens until he finds that person to let him do it. Let's hope he never finds someone like that.
That was beautiful. So eloquent and articulate and above all humane. I’ve been looking for something like that all day to help me get through this. I remember the last time 45 was in office so very clearly, and what’s coming will make the first term seem like child’s play. So I’m glad to have found this to go back to when it’s really tough. Thank you!
Thank you, Frank Schaeffer. I am struggling emotionally and mentally because of the results of the election. But you have helped me with your intelligent response. I will keep watching you and keep hanging on. 😢
Yep, that has been my question all day. I really appreciate your clarity. to be honest, I deleted all my other subscriptions to everything political, legal or otherwise triggering. And heartbroken and devastated. Your kind considerations are helping me put structure to my thoughts and feelings.
humility was appropriated by capitalism.... poverty is a character flaw... not a consequence of a heartless system of greed. Americans now feel humiliated by humility
You are right about the resentment of ordinary people against the gender language and the fears of parents that their precious children may be dragged in their vulnerable adolescent years into life changing sex change surgery. It is the same here in Australia. You are right about hubris too. The price the vulnerable people will pay while this plays out is breaking my heart.I am your age and I am a Christian. Not a Christian nationalist, a follower of Jesus. The one who chose the way of the outsider. Holding on to these words “Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord”, from the book of the Old Testament prophet Zechariah.
Here are four things I believe represent the nation's best (maybe only) chance of saving our democracy and stopping four years of corruption and chaos under Trump: 1. Pulmonary Embolism 2. Cerebral Hemorrhage 3. Myocardial Infarction 4. Plane Crash I am not a praying man. But if I were this list would be recited every morning and evening while on my knees at my bedside.
But we got through what you and your father were doing in the past and we will get through this. We are not all followers We can have faith in ourselves. We can have our own spiritual journey and be a true Christian in our hearts.Countries around the world have it way worse than we do. But look how strong and brave Ukraine is ! We can be strong and every one who woke up this morning feeling defeated because we didn't get what we wanted be strong have faith in yourself be proud for what you just fought for. You got this! And if you feel you don't reach out to what makes you feel strong ! Life is hard take it one day at a time. Peace and love to you all!❤️
How about this scripture: God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. I don't know about religion, after all it was the religious people who instigated the murder of Christ Jesus. But I like the definition of true religion by James in his epistle: "Looking after the needs of the widows and orphans and keeping oneself clean from this world".
Thank you, Frank, for your wisdom and historical perspective. These are virtues sadly lacking in our contemporary world. In any case, my stepfather, a compassionate Presbyterian minister, instilled in me (even if only by "osmosis") a certain degree of self-reflection which causes me to regret my mistakes and yearn for self-improvement. Certainly we should all look at ourselves before criticizing others. "Do what is right, to love mercy, and to live humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8)
When does the taxation on these churches begin? I think we have about 20 years of penalties and back taxes with interest to collect. The amount of money that they must have spent over the last 20 years to get this politicized! ...We can reduce the deficit.
Thanks Frank. Very sage advice. What you said was my intuitive gut response after sitting with my eyes glued to the screen watching the results come in yesterday. We need to look for the silver lining. How can we turn the situation into a positive for ourselves and humankind? (I am from South Africa)
No, my question isn't that. My question is: I'm in Sweden, USA will try to force Ukraine into a peace, so that Russia can rebuild its forces and start a third world war in 6-7 years. I will be aged 70 then, and pretty useless for defending the Baltic states that will become attacked first, what can we (and in particular I) do to prepare for the coming onslaught?
Frank Thank you so much for your amazing message! I am crying after listening to you because all day today God kept speaking to my heart about that exact scripture “So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last.” and about focusing on Jesus and his example... of loving others, showing compassion and caring about the poor and those who are hurting. After listening to your message peace came to my heart even in the midst of my sadness now I feel peace. Thank you for your humility, honesty and wisdom! You are making such a difference!
Agree. We as a country and people are not yet at the stage of enlightenment to universal acceptance of all people’s right to follow their individual paths. Jesus is still waiting for love to conquer hate. Let alone the ideals of the constitution.
Well ironically it seems, biblically speaking, that He’s waiting for ‘the power of the holy people to be finally broken’ and for the great falling away, ie. ‘when the rebellion reaches peak measure’, then the little horn/vile king rises up to power… (ie. trump)… ‘…with flattery he will corrupt those who have broken the covenant, but those who know their God will firmly resist him…’
Frank - Thank you for your insights. Regardless of who won the election we have a bigger challenge facing us and there is no escaping it at this point. By 2032 we will become the victims of our own western world hubris that everyone on the planet will be forced to deal with. The laws of thermodynamics will hit us hard. At or closely around that time it will take more energy to extract and process a barrel of oil than the energy that is actually contained in that barrel of oil. The transportation infrastructure will collapse worldwide. We will still have plenty of natural gas but transportation needs components of oil and that will not be available. This will be a humbling event for everyone on planet earth.
I have been trying to direct people to your channel ALL DAY! While your posts are still available. 🤦I know things are going to get bad.... QUICKLY! I post this quote EVERYWHERE today. "The street gangs have taken control of the resources of a great modern State, the gutter has come to power." Allan Bullock. 1933. When you know who was made Chancellor. I'm old too. My mom was a German warbride. I heard all about this. Push back? They are willing to sh... T people in the streets!! " In the name of our god.... " Nothing is off the table. They will NEVER give up power. What can't be controlled, will be destroyed. Don't underestimate your former associates, Frank. They're playing for keeps. I hope you and your family stay safe. (You're nearby... I'm in Providence).
Perhaps many. Hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions. Many have already paid that price a few years ago, and those in Ukraine have been paying the price thanks to Donnie’s capitulance and obedience to Putin.
this will sound cold but thousands/millions were going to suffer and die anyway. Climate change. Over population. The next pandemic. Continued civil wars. The increasing fatality of new weapons. Massive displacements. NONE of these are new. What we can do is strengthen ourselves with purpose and do what we can where we are with what we have. And where possible join together to influence sane policy. And help one another.
Your words carry many wisdoms that is a reflective of your journey, and that humility feels….grounded with clarity. It’s apparent, you are well read & understand history, thus connecting the dots of where we are today, and how we got here. While I’ve been plagued with worry over trump’s win, I had a gut feeling this was coming. When we have honest conversations within our homes, it’s not always as open in public, but I can tell you….as open minded as I am, I was bothered by the many rules surrounding liberalism. It was oftentimes difficult to keep track of who I offended or not, and which sensitive subject I unwittingly ventured into, without ill will of course. As I’ve gotten older, I embrace a more balanced approach to life. Absolutism isolates and blocks out other viewpoints, which has happened in Christianity and liberalism. It’s quick judgements from both sides, that results in closed minds. What goes up must come down….I know once this period runs its course…nature will swing it back until it tilts to extreme left again. Thank you for your videos. It’s very thought provoking, and I have to leave room in my busy life to absorb.
George Lakoff: The "Right" just can't hear us. Our metaphorical system obfuscates our Logic. Lotfi Zadeh: Fuzzy Logic helps us clarify our sense of reality and the clarity of communication almost simultaneously.
That’s all true but this part may me more difficult to resist. The USA military has more resources than the next 10 countries and AI coming up to help. Not saying it’s hopeless but the task is immense.
You know they never attacked women when they adopted a new word Ms. I was one of those who remember that chain occurred. I was a single mother and carried some shame. I realized that men dont identify their marrital status so I won't either. It was awkward at first. I will never give people grief for finding ways to feel respected and that they belong. I think your argument is not correct. I don't think the loss is about what Democrats say. It is about the fact that the propaganda worked and no one believed anything that the Democrats said. I won't buy into "othering" people who prefer certain language being wronge. It just gets too much attention because of the right stirring up fear and othering. I would prefer to make a non-issue.
I do too. I think right now we are all trying to cope and deal with Kamala's loss to trump as best we can. It really is earth shattering, and even worse is knowing that most voters sided with trump. It's foul and disgusting.
Revelation 18:4 is calling. Turn off the world and turn on Jesus' word. It's not just the religious REICH that's fallen. We're all idolaters. Rev 13:11-16 & Rev 18 are America. 2Thess2:11 "They believe THE LIE." Babylon is Fallen...
Wow, I have always been impressed with you...but now you are saying we need to give up rationality and encompass the nonsense of bronze age mythology? I think rationality, reason, humanism, compassion, empathy are all much more important and Religion has virtually none of that!
Oh Frank I'm simply sick at my stomach I think I just want to throw up for the next 10 days I just can't stand this I cannot think of four more years of that jackass been in charge and been in the news everyday I can't stand it I'm just I just can't stay in America I just can't and I hear you I hear you and you make plenty of sense but my sensibilities are shot to hell
I DON'T WANT A 2ND TRUMP PRESIDENCY. I WANT A MILITARY PROTECTORATE AND A SABBATICAL FROM POLITICS AS USUAL. (and after all that, a return to the American Tradition)
To wit: Over *ONE MILLION* votes were "challenged" by GOP operatives - most of them in *swing states* (that were then won by 1 to 3%). That said - thank you for always sharing your many insights, Frank. All the Best.
16.2 million votes are yet to be counted. Harris could still win the popular vote since the remaining votes are mostly in blue states like California and Washington, but the EC will still be lacking.
Frank, can you answer a question? Very religious people have a whole language and specific languaging so why are you upset with others who have a whole language and specific languaging? I don't get it. I remember when people freaked out with Ms instead of Mrs or Miss. Language matters so why have distain for one group's language and not another's? I'm an old woman and am serious about wanting how you explain this? In fact, it's often 'the language' that causes huge conflicts. Consider the difference in languaging between christianity and any other religion ... each has it's own.
Isn't Religion suppose to be separate from Politics? Both have their fair share of Dogma. The Apostle Paul said to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling! Shouldn't we be more active in that respect? Politics are the leaven of Religion perhaps? One particular doctrine of the Jehovah Witnesses is to come out from among them and touch not the unclean thing. Shouldn't we all take on that particular dogma so we don't cloud our skies of consciousness with unclean clouds of thought that distract us from the Words of God?
18:27: protest!! Jesus is "son of god," like everybody are sons and daughters of god. He's just not unique. And the New Testament did not properly reflect his own standing point in the conflict between the Romans and the Herodians on one hand, and Jews in general on the other hand.
Uplifting the humble? Yes, I am for humble. Always was. Always will be. But Trump is not that! So why do the so called Christians uphold what he isn't? And believe that he is Jesus?
I subscribe and listen to your thoughtful reasoning. Sadly to hear you denounce Jesus as not being the Christ the son of God makes me wonder what you believe . Take care
Not all of us believe 60 different authors of a book. Stories change, memories shift and those with their own agendas write as well Don’t condemn one’s skepticism
This is about blind power and control and you are wrong about Christianity, it has always been about power and control....the mythology of Jesus is another issue.
It will end in catastrophe. But as 1945 we do not know, how many innocents will be hurt until the downfall is complete.
How many lives must we suffer lost? Nazi Germany failed, yet we still suffer the damage of their hubris. The atrocities happening right now in the Middle East are directly linked to that fallen regime. And now our own country stands ready to march down that same path. It is not hubris to fight evil.
Maybe I'll get there in the end. But right now all I can feel is horror, shame, despair and hopelessness.

We need to secure our nuclear weapons. A president is given the sole authority to launch them -- no checks or balances. This has to change ASAP. Time is running out.
I don't think Trump would do that. There is no money to be made , only lost.
When you lose an election you lose that ability. Who is “we”? I can’t secure em. Can you?

I realized that men dont identify their marrital status so I won't either. It was awkward at first. I will never give people grief for finding ways to feel respected and that they belong.
I think your argument is not correct. I don't think the loss is about what Democrats say. It is about the fact that the propaganda worked and no one believed anything that the Democrats said. I won't buy into "othering" people who prefer certain language being wronge. It just gets too much attention because of the right stirring up fear and othering. I would prefer to make a non-issue.
I disagree with most of this Frank’s assessment’s of the Harris’ loss.
I do too. I think right now we are all trying to cope and deal with Kamala's loss to trump as best we can. It really is earth shattering, and even worse is knowing that most voters sided with trump. It's foul and disgusting.
Who says there is no religion in the U.S.? That lost me. 😮
I want her to win as well 😮😢
Is there a way to thwart them?
My honest reply?
I fear it's too late. 😞
Revelation 18:4 is calling. Turn off the world and turn on Jesus' word. It's not just the religious REICH that's fallen. We're all idolaters. Rev 13:11-16 & Rev 18 are America. 2Thess2:11 "They believe THE LIE." Babylon is Fallen...
Jeremiah 5:25-31. I flipped open to that a couple days ago.
Wow, I have always been impressed with you...but now you are saying we need to give up rationality and encompass the nonsense of bronze age mythology? I think rationality, reason, humanism, compassion, empathy are all much more important and Religion has virtually none of that!
Oh Frank I'm simply sick at my stomach I think I just want to throw up for the next 10 days I just can't stand this I cannot think of four more years of that jackass been in charge and been in the news everyday I can't stand it I'm just I just can't stay in America I just can't and I hear you I hear you and you make plenty of sense but my sensibilities are shot to hell
I DON'T WANT A 2ND TRUMP PRESIDENCY. I WANT A MILITARY PROTECTORATE AND A SABBATICAL FROM POLITICS AS USUAL. (and after all that, a return to the American Tradition)
Jd and Mike Johnson are in the higher powerful
😥😥😥
To wit: Over *ONE MILLION* votes were "challenged" by GOP operatives - most of them in *swing states* (that were then won by 1 to 3%).
That said - thank you for always sharing your many insights, Frank. All the Best.
16.2 million votes are yet to be counted. Harris could still win the popular vote since the remaining votes are mostly in blue states like California and Washington, but the EC will still be lacking.
Deliama, never teach the hate on crucifixion. On other human beings
Frank, can you answer a question? Very religious people have a whole language and specific languaging so why are you upset with others who have a whole language and specific languaging? I don't get it. I remember when people freaked out with Ms instead of Mrs or Miss. Language matters so why have distain for one group's language and not another's?
I'm an old woman and am serious about wanting how you explain this? In fact, it's often 'the language' that causes huge conflicts. Consider the difference in languaging between christianity and any other religion ... each has it's own.
What? How do you say trump is Christian??
Sorry, I couldn’t get into the pronoun thing. It was
Stupid.
?
Wise words
Isn't Religion suppose to be separate from Politics? Both have their fair share of Dogma. The Apostle Paul said to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling! Shouldn't we be more active in that respect? Politics are the leaven of Religion perhaps? One particular doctrine of the Jehovah Witnesses is to come out from among them and touch not the unclean thing. Shouldn't we all take on that particular dogma so we don't cloud our skies of consciousness with unclean clouds of thought that distract us from the Words of God?
18:27: protest!! Jesus is "son of god," like everybody are sons and daughters of god. He's just not unique. And the New Testament did not properly reflect his own standing point in the conflict between the Romans and the Herodians on one hand, and Jews in general on the other hand.
I get confused when you say We. You are no longer part of that.
Uplifting the humble? Yes, I am for humble. Always was. Always will be. But Trump is not that! So why do the so called Christians uphold what he isn't? And believe that he is Jesus?
If Jesus isn’t God, then how else are the humble to be uplifted? Only God can do that.
Sorry. You're going overboard on the blame game. Christianity is a total myth and you know that.
Dash: that’s what you think -wrong
@@gaylaaustin7468agree SO WRONG
I subscribe and listen to your thoughtful reasoning. Sadly to hear you denounce Jesus as not being the Christ the son of God makes me wonder what you believe . Take care
Jesus was a cult leader who may or may not have existed.
Not all of us believe 60 different authors of a book. Stories change, memories shift and those with their own agendas write as well
Don’t condemn one’s skepticism
Frank please make shorter videos, you are exhausting… reminds me too much of a preacher…
The Catholic Church is the richest organization in the world, ya right their hubris has not been rewarded!
This is about blind power and control and you are wrong about Christianity, it has always been about power and control....the mythology of Jesus is another issue.
Bingo right there!
Your Jesus didn't even say slavery was wrong!!
Science and reason is right, there is no need to embrace religious and scientific ignorance and misinformation.
Thank you
