Politicians will be the end of me.
To cynical now to trust their lie!
To angry now to listen to:
Continuous disharmony,
Pointed conversations,
Loose denominations.
Finding flourishes,
As the mouth,
Drivels,
Contagonistic,
Voyeuristic,
Egotistic,
Unrealistic!
Politicians will be the end of me!
Polecats in harmony,
Conversations without relations!
Christian living,
Without forgiving!
Could platinum coin deposit
In the U.S. Treasury's closet
Our debts enjoin?
A trillion-dollar coin
Might yield a government profit
Author's Note: Section 31 U.S.C. § 5112 of the United States Code authorizes the Treasury Department to "mint and issue platinum bullion coins" in any denominations the Secretary of the Treasury may choose. This privilege only extends to platinum coins. Thus, if the Treasury were to mint a few one-trillion dollar platinum coins, it could deposit such coins in the general fund instead of issuing debt (lol).
Seigniorage is the difference between the receipts from the Federal Reserve System from the sale of circulating coins at face value and the costs of minting and distributing the coins. Seigniorage is deposited periodically to the General Fund where it reduces the government's need to borrow.
Of course, this might create a wave of inflation. But we should all realize that the value of paper currency eventually tends to zero. In any event, the inflation we've experienced in 2022 is just a taste of what's to come since the politicians don't want to explain a depression to their voters. We're entering strange times.
FROM A COMMENT TO ONE OF MY GOOD READERS/ Soupers:
"It's a blessing to have known Jesus through one's parents. I was 30 when I began to take Jesus seriously ("an acquired taste," for a Hindu nationalist). It's NATIONALISM - of whatever kind - THAT IS CAUSING WARS, not God/Jesus. Study wars & it's civil & uncivil causes will be connected with "ethnos" or ETHNOI, a la Russia & Ukraine, just for a current example of similar peoples fighting for their identities (and ego). They probably worship the same LORD and belong to similar denominations, would be my guess. Yes, material resources may be at stake, but if that CAUSE is paramount then you agree with the Marxists who believe only material/economic factors determine our humanity and behaviours.
shalom, shalom
The Cashflow
Money notes like staying in a bank vault
Rubbing against other denominations, or shall we say socializing.
That is why I keep the notes in my wallet as long as possible
Dislike breaking up a friendship, as my pocket is warm, it is a sin to let them out in the cold.
Thrift has nothing to with meanness.
A stranger has no feel for the inner life of money
So, don´t lend to anyone who asks.
The teller in my bank is a fine man with caring hands; he thinks like me.
Counts the money slowly, often twice, before handing them over with a sigh.
Have you ever had moonlight kiss the star;
As you hover over a toddler have you ever told them how tall you are;
Seldom mentioned never told;
Have you ever looked upon a woman and have a crush;
Never dreaming or endeavoring wanted lust;
Seldom mentioned never told
Your next door neighbor you don't know his or her name
You have no interest to ask nor to obtain
You're ashamed of your sins you've committed from birth until now
Your excuses to rebuke churches you choose to refuse those self improving choices
The Bible you feel is it prevalent nor real
Church people so unkind they don't come with you with open arms
They degrade you and down you by their denominations they undefined you
You convey your sinner saved by grace
And you don't have to sustain to their faith
Foraging it is useless if it doesn't have God in it
Oh how convenient you condemn me
He threatened me and yet Jesus has saved me...
In remission this is, seldom mentioned never told
You are saved by profession that Jesus Christ is Lord?

???????
If one man’s faith
Differs, this brings about separation and differences
You once promised me an eternity
for as the hour draws near, the shadow fades
silent, soulless
If I don’t believe, in the doctrine
Of your faith
there is only panic
And your creed doctrine says I AM NOT SAVED

Somebody, somebody
Somebody, someone
At one time, told me that I was not
Saved
There are a lot of denominations that crave
They say, you are not saved unless you do THINGS THEIR WAY
If you don’t do as they say
You are not saved
But what does the bible say
Tell me what does the bible say
If I don’t do things your way
What would Jesus Do?
Could that be a clue?
Somebody told me that I’m not saved
But my bible tells me this is the way
I confess with my mouth
Jesus
You’re Lord
Jesus
I believe in my heart
Jesus
Our Father God has raised Jesus up
Raised Jesus
Jesus
Raised you up
From the dead
You will be saved
Utaokola
You will be saved

The Beggars Legislation
By David J Walker
The beggars dream standing up right
On the next street corner
Knowing how things ought to be
Knowing safe places to sleep and eat
A nation of their own
A kingdom unto themselves
Taxing the merciful in denominations of
Street-smart wealth
In turn praying for the souls of all those
Who owe it all to someone else
I have copies of the bible of many denominations,
along with the many teachings of hinduism and buddhism,
and judaism as well as a copy of the quran,
but I am not at all a theologian or a religious man.
I am not so much a man of faith as I am a man of science,
but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't have any of this literature in my home.
I do find their images to be very beautiful and their poetry very moving.
There are two sins
2 skins
Black
White
both done the same
What's in their name
ARE THEY TREATED THE SAME
I can't breathe
I can't read
Am I equally subdue, obtained
Detained
2 skins
Black
White
both done the same
What's in their name
Should there be a new morality code...
With mandate rights for EVERYONE
starting with the Blacks and the Whites
Let's mandate a moralsnot based on different denominations or on mans opinions
Let's go back to the rainbow
We all matter
Are choices against God defines sins
They're good and bad in everything
Am I equally subdue, obtained
Detained
2 skins
ARE THEY TREATED THE SAME
The rainbow is God promise
We all are God's children
ARE THEY TREATED THE SAME
In my sins treat me rightly justly the same
Forgive me always, as God will
Treat me kind and just equally ...in Jesus name

LET US PRAY
Let today Sunday the 22nd March
Be a day of prayer,
Which will include all denominations,
Let us ask Our Almighty Father
To forgive us our sins,
And the sins of this world and think
Of heavenly destinations
Let us ask Him – would He
See fit to drive this Corona Virus away
We will today all pray,
Families are been torn apart, curfews
Have begun in many countries
Police and armies are getting involved,
The media saying reminiscent of WW 11
Hopeless, heart sore situations,
Where we must stay indoors,
Please God help us,
And let us begin a new era, helping
And teaching the poor,
Every relevant state
Giving them food and shelter, each one
Of them as much His children as are we!
Let us pray for planet earth today.
And think of the film Messiah,
Who stood for all mankind,
Leaving no man behind,
The truth is, we have left our Planet
To become an abomination,
LET US ALL PRAY!
Sure she was proud of her sprite-like daughter
Must have been hard to keep a straight face
When she, as a mother, knew she oughter
From her collection of unusual pets
To all those unique children she had to test
From her inspired canvas creations
To her poems on all topics and denominations
Sure she was proud of her wonderful daughter
Whose wonderful mother is now up with saintly others
Morning world
have I told you this morning
I love you still
An so on I gather
that we won't have long
till the Son from heaven comes
D
O
W
N
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
will you be ready when the Son comes, down
So hello world
our we ready to be rapture
And are we repented and forgiven
For them SINS we've shown...
D
O
W
N
after we go
UP
UP
UP
to be with the Father Our God and Jesus...
For some may say
some denominations pray
It's not about going to heaven in an instant
It's about staying there for all ETERNITY
will you be ready when the Son comes, down
An so on I gather
that we won't have long
till the Son from heaven comes
so if your one of the chosen few to be here
When the Lord access and comes back
Make sure your ready
When He Emanuel comes
Down

When you see God's staff and rod
You may think "punishment" as I used to do -
Think again dear Lisa, sister Sue, brothers Josh and Andrew ...
II
Because I had time in America, escaping from a new South Africa ...
I joined the Church. My Jesus, who chased me down (and head wisdom),
Chased me out of Church, "SILOAM" ... taught me to love Him outside!
III
His "punishments" began to taste sweeter and sweeter perhaps
Because I made room for the Holy Spirit, thanks Katherine Kuhlman,
and pastors Mike and Debbie Dodson, Ray Kingrea,Tree of Life Ministries;
As the best mothering advisor, The Spirit showed me the Father's Way
Where the rod and His Love redirect me from ritual to intercede & pray
IV
Now I read and learn, God will use even our sin for transformation -
Yes, all sin is an affront to the integrity of God, a stain before holiness -
He alone can make all things work together, only by pure prerogative,
as the Calvinists might say. Denominations aside, no Spirit = no LIFE!
We must fathom the Father's Love, who became Jesus upon a Cross.
shalom, shalom (Please pray for those dealing with cancer, & addiction)
Sinner-man
Part of the new up rising
Compliance with his version...
Of righteousness
While in the same, breath
If you DON'T do things HIS way
U R Not saved
What does GOD say...
What does the Bible say...
All those...Demonominations
Telling U do things only their way
And if U don't do it the denominations way
Then U R not saved..
Ask yourself this question...
How do U want to he SAVeD
Denominationaly-man's way
Or by GOD way
What does the bible really say.
Humanity stop doing salvation your way
