Haven't really established how many of these videos. Just now watched the one about the Beast, and the Mark of the Beast.
My impression is that the popular culture has it all wrong, of course. What else is news? Popular culture is just so much junk. It is like this metaphor: like cotton candy is to the teeth, so is popular culture is to one's soul. There's no real nourishment in it. It may seem like good fun, but it only rots the teeth (cotton candy) or soul (popular culture). So, the Catholic Church wants to be more modern and to place this kind of Pope at the head of the church? One that caters to the popular culture? Such is the state of western civilization. Is it not any wonder then that it is crumbling before our very eyes?

Today's Plan: To view Gary McDade's videos
I'm also taking notes on some of what I'm viewing. Since I have been favorably impressed with his videos, I am inclined to spend time on them. I will post the notes when I conclude watching the videos. How long will this take? Probably longer than this weekend, of course. I have watched 11 of them so far. There are probably more than 20.
Obligatory, 10.3.15: I may be getting into a rut
If something looks like you're only going through the motions, then it may be time to change things up a bit.
Here's a few things that I am considering:
I will not be like somebody that I am not just so I can be more popular. So, if you are expecting a liberal blog, you ain't gonna find it here.
Here's a few things that I am considering:
- The blog started out being more non-partisan and less argumentative. It seems that I've fallen into the thing that I once criticized. While it is true that I am more on the conservative side generally speaking, I think it is also true that I am not happy with anybody right now, including conservatives. While that isn't non-partisan, it isn't favoritism either. Everybody catches hell here at some point. But I don't hate everybody. Just liars.
- Changing the header again. The "wtf" may offend some folks because of language. I can keep it clean if I make my mind up to do so. Henceforth, the blog will be clean, and it will start with the header. I won't remove all bad language from the blog, however. I don't have the time, and besides, it is a reminder that I can and do use rather salty language at times.
- Each title will include information as to what it is about. That starts with this post.
What I won't do
I will not be like somebody that I am not just so I can be more popular. So, if you are expecting a liberal blog, you ain't gonna find it here.

Something different
Usually at this time of day, when I get off work, and get home, I'd do a home again post.
You know what? This is a home again post. The only thing different is the title.
Well, at least something is different.
Nothing new under the sun, as the good book says. When Obama wants to do gun control again, he's just playing his old tune.
Perhaps the GOP could play a different tune. But Limbaugh is sounding defeatist to me. It's almost the white flag time again.
If they had some imagination, the GOP could use this. Instead, they are always playing defense---and losing. One thing they could do is to require that gun free zones provide for security. If there's no security, it cannot be a gun free zone. BTW, the security would require the use of a gun.
Pass that bill and send it to Obama. It would be interesting to see how he reacts.

Quick post, 10.2.15
Given what I've read about Revelation, questions arise as to what our government should be doing today. Not only our government, but what should Christians do?
For example, the Constitution is being nullified, in case you haven't noticed. At what point do you rebel? Ever? This is what I asked in the previous post. What influence has the interpretation (s) of Revelation of the New Testament had upon people? If so, should it be considered good or bad?
One thing I have always said that if you give up your guns, your ability to resist what the government is doing has been greatly compromised. The government seeks the people's guns because they do not trust the people and want to dominate and control the people. But it is supposed to be the other way around, as Ronald Reagan once noted. "We the People" tell the government what it can do, but the left wing wants it to be otherwise.
Therefore, any calls like this that Obama is making should be considered as extremely suspicious. What exactly should be done about this if it begins to take place?
I have suggested a Con-Con. An Article V convention. But it is being resisted by so-called conservatives. Do you really think the left is going to stop encroaching upon what's remains of the Constitution? This is a legal and hard to resist way of dealing with the challenge coming from the left. But it is dangerous, of course. So called conservatives fear the prospect of a runaway convention that may do just about anything.
But there may not be any good alternatives available.

Obligatory, 10.2.15
Finally at the end of the week. Posting continues to be light until I am satisfied with the videos of Gary McDade, who is discussing the Book of Revelation.
As I mentioned yesterday, I was confused about the prophecy of Daniel with respect to the time from the "Babylonian Captivity" until the destruction of Rome in 70 AD. Since I revisited it, the confusion has dissipated somewhat, but there is some confusion about this period of time. I don't think the confusion can be satisfied, so I moved on. It is rather remarkable, and this is just my opinion here, that there time period Daniel mentions correlates so closely to historical fact. In other words, Daniel predicts something nearly 500 years before it happens. That's pretty remarkable to me.
The next chapter, which discusses the "sealing of the saints" is also a bit confusing. It appears to be that a distinction is being drawn between the Christian Church and the Jewish one. This somewhat ties into the previous chapter, I am concluding. Also, toward the end of this video, McDade once again points out that Premillenialism is inconsistent with the Book of Revelation. ( I haven't yet read the Book of Revelation up to this point to make sure that McDade is being consistent with it, and therefore would be correct in saying that.)
Question: How many people today are under this alleged misconception about Revelation, and does this have any impact of current events?

Lemon Trump Interview
Saw the link to that on Free Republic and watched a bit of it.
It is personally hard for me to see how Trump loses this nomination. He handles Lemon quite well and can deal with the media, in my opinion. Nobody is going to catch this guy. He's going to be the nominee.
Could something happen that would prevent this? Sure. But, I just don't see it happening.
