Two thoughts to share on this.
1. If I was going to try to forge a ballot, I'd start by examining as many pictures of ballots as I could find. In essence, maybe the rule was put in place to prevent voter fraud.
2. Wouldn't elections be more free and fraud-resistant if they were public? Secret anything makes room for corruption. If there was a big public list, everyone could confirm their vote was recorded correctly and the results would be clear and verifiable.
The dangerous behavior gets an eye-level conversation with stern dad eyes and a stern voice about the danger they may have caused. I think/hope an intense, low-volume bit of instruction leaves a more lasting mark. Spankings I reserve for disrespect.
I try to explain the first-level consequence (if you don't clean your room, it will be messy and you may step on toys and hurt yourself) and second-level consequences (if I step on toys in your room, I'm putting them in a bin in the garage and you can one back for each day your room is clean). My current (ever-evolving) method is focused on teaching that all actions have consequences, and inspiring the little ones to begin thinking about longer-term consequences. I think this will be the seed for a child to master self-discipline and delayed gratification. I wish someone would have taught me the same.
The consequence for not doing something I've told them to do is a time-out, not getting to go to grandma's house when the other kid goes, and sometimes a swat on the butt. Time-outs are the most effective so far.
That's what trains are for.
I listened to the whole thing. I think he makes a good point about interconnectivity coming at the cost of dependence. Would we have all the problems today if not for globalism?
I may rather die from a brain tumor than see my kids grow up in a zoo.
I used to put more eggs in the flat earth basket but, since I'll never be able to witness low-earth orbit for myself, I ceded to the most concrete opinion one can hold on this: "I don't and won't ever know."
Consider this and tell me your thoughts: We are naturally suspicious of fish-eye lenses in space because they obviously distort the horizon line. Can we be certain that our personal observations of curvature (or lackthereof) cannot be explained by the shape and function of our eyeballs, the translation therefrom into electrical signals to our brain, and the way our brain interprets sensory data? We can be certain that our brain can change our physical perception of our environment over time. Is the flat horizon an artifact of this effect? Would it be useful to our ancestors in the last 10,000 years to observe a curving horizon?
I see OC as a tactical disadvantage. The advantage of surprise, of your enemy underestimating you, can win wars.
CC without a permit. That's a Constitutional flex.
I cringe at your assertion that Catholicism is God's will. The Papacy is the anti-Christ. Come out of Babylon, brother, so you don't share in her punishment.
What do we deserve from God?
Some think that being good boys and girls entitles us to comfortable, blessed lives. Those people do not understand why we are here in this life. We're in a prison world. We are spirits who could travel time and space at will but are locked in the prison of time and space because we are criminals in the higher dimension. Who runs the prisons in this world? Not really the guards and wardens. The baddest criminals run the prisons. It's the same here.
If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”
2 Peter 2:20-22
You are not permanently saved. You are forgiven of the trespasses for which you repent. Repentence means you stop doing it.
Some people think God put us here to have a good life... That's contradictory to the Scriptures. We're here in prison, locked in these bodies in space and time to pay for crime we committed in spirit. This is jail, son. And bad stuff happens in jail.
Regarding the last bit, "You evildoers", it is translated in the NASB version "You who practice lawlessness". The original lie in the Garden of Eden is that we don't have to obey God; that there will not be consequences for disobedience. That same lie today is "all the rules were abolished by Jesus. We're saved by grace." Yes, but not like it sounds. We're saved because we're obedient to the law Christ fulfilled. Jesus even said he did not come to abolish the law but fulfill it.
1 John 2: 3-4 We know that we have come to know God/Christ when we obey his commands. Anyone who says "[I have a personal relationship with Jesus. We talk everyday. I don't need to do things, he loves me as I am.]" but does not do what he commands is a liar and the truth is not in him.
So what is the law we must obey?
John 6:54 Jesus says we must eat his flesh, drink his blood to have eternal life (no other way).
Matthew 26, Luke 22 Jesus calls the Passover bread and wine his body and blood of the new covenant.
God YHWH tells Jeremiah 31:31 that the time is coming when He will make a new covenant with His people.
Hebrews 13:20 the everlasting/eternal covenant through Christ's blood... is the Passover of the new covenant.
Throughout Bible history (Exodus, King Josiah (2Kings 18), King Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 30,31), end of days (Rev 9:4)) the Passover was the key to being in God's will and protection from destruction (it means "destruction passes over"). When the seven thunders spoke to John in Revelations, it was YHWH explaining the law that the saved must keep obediently. This law is the new covenant. DM for more.

On-topic response:
