      Yes, sirs. I have always read the intellectual writers and follow Dr Mohler and others from my Christian beliefs. I've been very hungry for that and am familiar with the arguments. I see now that Yahweh has documented all of this in His Word.
      Be discerning.

    Thanks learnt a good deal about the religious history of Ireland and Northern Ireland. I think that the sectarian conflict between Protestants and Catholics did much damage to advancing the Kingdom in Ireland.

    Going out of the house at 7 in morning and seeing things being brightened up by the daybreak, and seeing in the morning mist humans going to school in this tiny tucked away town, and starting their day off at work, opening stores, driving off into the sunset, off to the office, is a strange sight to witness, to sit down and stare at, and think about and gaze upon and ponder, and an amazing thing to paint. Very surreal it is.
    It's dead out there around 3 or 4 in the morning except for a few cars and here and there a person, or people, getting off the bus to walk to the jobs, or back from a drug run on their way home, or a late night fling.
    Then right about after 4 you might pick up a glimpse of a trash truck or two picking up dumpster bins.
    But at 7 I walked out and there wasn't too much going on and it was still dim out, and then within a dozen minutes or so it all seemed to happen at once; the sky was teeming and glimmering with colors and all a flare, and people were popping up all over the place coming from everywhere.

      We Only Come Out at Night
      Song by The Smashing Pumpkins
      We only come out at night
      We only come out at night
      The days are much too bright
      We only come out at night
      And once again
      You'll pretend to know me well
      My friends
      And once again
      I'll pretend to know the way
      Through the empty space
      Through the secret places of the heart
      We only come out at night
      We only come out at night
      The days are much too bright
      We only come out at night
      I walk alone
      I walk alone to find the way home
      I'm on my own
      I'm on my own to see the ways
      That I can't help the days
      You will make it home okay
      I know you can
      And you can
      We only come out at night
      We only come out at night
      The days are much too bright
      We only come out at night
      And once again now
      You'll pretend to know that
      That there's an end
      That there's an end to this begin
      It will help you sleep at night
      It will make it seem that right is always right
      Alright?
      We only come out at night
      We only come out at night
      The days are much too bright

    Balkanization according to Oxford means: to divide (a region or body) into smaller mutually hostile states or groups. Balkanization is the fragmentation of a larger region or state into smaller regions or states, which may be hostile or uncooperative with one another. It is usually caused by differences of ethnicity, culture, and religion and some other factors such as past grievances.

      Humans are habitual creatures by nature. But habit wasn't man's original state, for you get into the habit and don't start in it. So man's first state wasn't natural.

      There's one nature, one life, not two nature's, one nature in a nature. So it is not nature that is in nature, it is the non-natural that is in nature.

      Christians invented the modern world. There were no moderns around to create it. They didn't show up till the modern world did.
      Did the moderns exist before the modern world, and are the more primitive of the two?

      I believe Ireland at the beginning of the 19th century might give us an idea what our own world ruled by Davos, Klaus Schwab, George Soros and the One World Order would look like if they had not been stopped. England was the Davos of that period and I don’t think the Irish were even allowed to own a horse. Correct me if I’m wrong.

      I grew up in Ireland during the troubles. I am in South Ireland where we had a lovely Catholic upbringing. The North was worse. The troubles in the North weren't basically Catholic vs Protestant. It was a political war going back to the British forces been visible in a sovereign country. People that were Catholic were mainly republican and protestant were very pro British.

      @@jimbuford4147 Well I would fully affirm human agency and responsibility as it is clearly taught in the Scriptures even as it is set beside clear teaching that affirms God's ultimate sovereignty (Acts 2:23 for example). If we take those two aspects of the Bible's teaching seriously we have a tension between them that can feel uncomfortable, but resolving that tension by ignoring one or the other will result in a distortion. Better to live in it and affirm all that the Scriptures teach. Blessings.

      @@philcotnoir Are you saying every person is responsible for his actions and thoughts even though God in His sovereignty causes him to act and think a certain way? Taking it a step further will every person have an opportunity to be saved and if they are not it is because they through their own will rejected the Lord. Perhaps their will is programmed by God as well? First Timothy 2:4 says that God desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Since God has retained ultimate authority over the actions of men His desires will be met will they not?

    ( Do Christians And Jews and "OTHER" non-Muslims go to Heaven? )
    Quran 2:62
    '' Those who believe (in the Quran) and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures) and the Christians and the Sabians->ANYAllah< Is The Protector Of Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues And The Mosques )
    Quran 22:40
    [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, " Our Lord is God " And were it not that God checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of God is much mentioned. And God will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, God is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
    Note: Why did Allah protected Churches and Synagogues if they worship false Allah ?
    ( Why Are There So Many Different Religions In The World ? )
    Quran 5 48
    ''...... If God wanted He could have made all of you a single nation.( ie single religion ) But He willed otherwise in order to test you in what He has given you (ie Scriptures) therefore try to excel one another in good deeds. Ultimately you all shall return to God then He will show you the truth of those matters in which you '' >DISPUTE verb < not noun like other religions
    Islam mean "submission" to God
    ( The above verse saying is that God will not accept a religion from the >MUSLIM< and the Non-Muslims but total "submission" to God )
    Question: How Can Muslim And the Non-Muslim "submit" to the God?
    Answer: Be kind to other human beings and Do not lie, Do not steal, Do not cheat, Do not hurt others, Do not be prideful and Do the charity work.
    Note: If you obeyed all the ABOVE Allah-God's moral laws "YOU" submitted to God.( ie Islam mean "submission" to God )

    Quran 5:5
    ''This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture (ie Christian and Jew) is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And lawful in marriage are chaste women from among the believers (ie Muslim ) and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture (ie Christian and Jew) before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless and he in the Hereafter will be among the losers.''
