Freedom

Freedom is not a mere concept, nor a philosophy, nor a political opinion – it is what drives men to revolution, and masses from religion: The want of freedom turns children from parents, and spouses away from domineering mates.... Freedom is why God deplores sin, and why Jesus did not run, chose being nailed to a cross, rather than propagate the the control of Mammon – Freedom is why authoritarianism has its appeal, and also why it ultimately fails.... Freedom is Christ! Freewill the most misunderstood concept in the Universe. Freewill means, all is created by our minds, hearts and wills – the world around us, our very physical bodies, the manifestation of a shallow, self possessed consciousness, driven by the fearful lie of limited existence. Freedom is not what you think you know, but what is real, all creation the expression of the omnipotent, immortal Body of God. Death~is a survivable illusion!

Hi Evelyn; sad to see American, and the rest of the world, go down the tubes of Socialism -- unless women stand-up, turn from the, so called, safety-net of the Democrat Party (Marxist Party) (women~the backbone of the Democrat Party) individual property ownership and freedom will be things of the past. It is up to Woman-kind.

Without you. There is neither me, Universe, God, or light. One ( or One Accord, see Acts 1-2, 9-17. John's Gospel 14-17; 21). Live & shalom Father DeMino

Thank you, Anil, for your faithful reminder. So sad to see the world needlessly go through such purification, pains my heart. Oh well, what needs be will be. Blessings my friend!

And right in front of our eyes today, Freedom is why citizens of Ukraine are resisting the godless monster named Putin -- and why eventually Ukraine will triumph too. Eventually. Maybe not this decade, but eventually... Putin and Xi, tyrants who hold themselves to be gods, eventually crumble and crumple. Eventually. ~ Patience, gw

Fighting starting in Ukraine today. Looks like you were right and I was wrong. I was thinking like a sane person, saying to myself, why on earth would Putin go into Ukraine, causing death and destruction when they already have a cooperative relationship?~he's a madman. He has sided with China (and if Germany is on board) (Canada under a Dictator loving Trudeau) (a soulless USA under Autocratic rule)~Europe and the world are in big trouble. 1984 around the corner.

Hi Gershon, unfortunately while many Ukraine's are freedom loving, Putin already has a friend in its present Autocracy, that has eliminated the opposition party. Putin would be a fool to go into Ukraine if life will be lost. Many Russian soldiers would be killing their own relatives, which would prompt a deadly insurgency, haunting Putin till his demise. He wants NATO, openly to state that it will never let Ukraine join, which his silent partner in crime, Biden, has already agreed to with a wink and a nod. The major conflict will be Taiwan, and the US I believe has already thrown the Taiwanese under the bus for the same reasons, in lock step with our present authoritarian leaning government -- hope I am wrong, but I did not just fall off the back of a turnip truck. Joe.
