I'm not joking, damn it! That's what it's saying! No, they're not going to dance around in your bedroom at night and reshuffle your sound tracks on your phone. No, they're... no... that's it.

Newsflash! You should fight against BAD IDEAS: "Our spiritual weapons (2 Corinthians 6:7; Ephesians 6:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:8) have divine power to pull down entrenched _____________ (2 Corinthians 10:4-6);"
The passage simply states the following: "4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 6 being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete."

There are two spiritual zones: the ________ of God and the _________ of Satan (Colossians 1:12-14; Acts 26:18; 2 Corinthians 4:4; 1 John 2:10-11; 1 Thessalonians 5:5; 1 Peter 2:9; 1 John 1:5; Matthew 6:23; Luke 11:34-35; John 1:15; 12:35,46; Romans 13:12; 2 Corinthians 6:14; Ephesians 5:8; c.f. Matthew 4:16)
The Complete Sovereignty of God
The God of gods (Deuteronomy 10:17) even uses evil spirits to achieve _______ purposes (2 Samuel 24:1 [c.f. 1 Chronicles 21:1]; Job 1:12; 2:6; 1 Kings 22:22 [c.f. 2 Chronicles 18:21]; Judges 9:23; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11; c.f. Ezekiel 14:9 and 2 Corinthians 12:7), even though evil spirits are not from God (1 John 4:1-3). Christ - who is God the Son - is above demons (Ephesians 1:20-21; c.f. Mark 1:26; 5:7; Luke 4:32-34; 8:28). Demons shudder about the reality of God (James 2:19).

The great nuisance with actually knowing what you're talking about on religion is that you might sound like an idiot. "Oh, Captain Obvious, is that all you had to say?" CRINGE! Hahaha, anyway. "Oh, no, there are many things I could tell you; I'm just not sure if they're true yet or exactly how or..." "Uh huh, I get it. Next!"
Do not dare to leave the "faith," if you have never fought to understand it. If you understand it, you recognize that it is innate. It is self-evident. The primary thrust of human intelligence aligns with Christianity. We do bloom where we are planted, but the main thrust is that we swim upstream (Psst: He broke the egg, new life is available beyond "screen saver mode," etc.), and, yes, Islam, this swimming unto the prize is "to die for."
("Dying to get ahead," etc. And, of course, I cannot even survive without you all; so, I create mutually beneficial interactions, such as work, where I give what is so valuable that my employer gives me enough to take care of self and others, etc. You get the idea. We swim upstream.)
Searching for Clues

See also the Bible on Its Non-Historical Content and The Origin & the End.
Look for the clues in the original words.
The original words of the original documents were communicated by God (John 10:35-36) with instruction for us to follow today (1 Timothy 3:16); the words in our English Bibles are from God to the degree to which they reflect His original words.
______________[1] the original words. Over the years, scribes made thousands of copies and translated Scripture into foreign languages. Because scribes are humans and humans make mistakes, certain mistakes crept in. As we continue to discover manuscripts, we compare the differences between one group of copies and another group of copies in order to pinpoint the original words:
What are the words in the largest number of manuscripts, especially the earliest manuscripts?
If the manuscript evidence is not obvious, then which words seem most l...

Introduction
We went to Fazoli’s. DQ was next door. We felt called to get an ice cream Sundae and suffer for Jesus.
We joke about it because we know that there is real suffering that we experience for Christ. When you look at the promises in Scripture of God’s blessing and then you experience suffering, perhaps you’ve asked: Did I get off of God’s path at some point? Did I make a detour and wind up in the middle of nowhere?
My brother David was eating salad swatting a fly and driving when he suddenly looked up and found himself in the middle of an alfalfa field. Have you ever been there in your life?
Joseph probably felt that way. He was on God’s path. But he experienced suffering. But that suffering was just the pavement in the road to the throne. The same is true for us: If we are on God’s path, our suffering is just the pavement on the road to paradise.
GENESIS
While Joseph was on God’s pat...
If you're on God's path, if it's actually His path... oh, but how dare you tell young people to go off a cliff, as if it's God's path! Following the math that adds up to life is not suicide.
(A Smiley Face was graffiti'd directly across from where I was sleeping, and I describe some more of this elsewhere in Memo. A recent conversation with the VP of Sporting at Bluegrass Supply Chain suggested to me that the graffiti'd smiley was supposed to be "flying." And he talked about how some look at where planes get hit and others look at where planes that don't return back to the camp get hit. I think that they're into "zip ties." I do support marriage, by the way. Let no one suggest otherwise. I thoroughly support marriage. Sigh.)
(Site manager and him and I sat down for a chat after I put in my resignation notice, which I subsequently have withdrawn. I am keeping an eye on Brexit.)
The flippancy of throwing young people out into left or right field and telling them to fight the other side is terribly dangerous. I ended up with nothing at all. I lived under a bridge, and I worked a lot of overtime, saving up my money (while sleeping underneath the bridge). Everntually, fruitcakes - I guess - came and disrupted this... I found out later that a lot of people are getting killed by Smiley Face Killers, whoever they are. These people are dangerous. It's time that they grow up and understand what they're doing; they're the problem. People like me? I'll risk my life, but I'm not a glutton for the punishment that comes from following half brained ideas. Off a cliff.

Non-historical; so, I am horrified by the following research paper, since I did not apply the correct hermeneutic framework. In other words, I did not understand the type of literature.
1. The New Testament texts intentionally (irreconcilably and repeatedly) contradict themselves.
2. The Greek word ἐπόπται mistranslated "eye witnesses" should actually be translated "initiators into mysteries"; in other words, Peter in 2 Peter 1:16 claims that he is not teaching you sophisticated non-historical stories, but that he is an explainer of the exact idea (mystery) itself behind all of these myths (the idea which focuses on the Exact Reflection).
3. This alternative interpretation (several, actually) illuminates the texts (and whole of human understanding) far better.
The guidance of the undergraduate dean at Cincinnati Christian University was - unless I am greatly mistaken - toward Dr. Wright, specifically his work in regard to the resurrection of a historical person...

and the Helpful Expressions of Parental Presence

“…marital distress and conflict are associated with a wide range of deleterious child outcomes, including depression, withdrawal, poor social competence, health problems, poor academic performance, and a variety of conduct-related difficulties…” (214) In part, these outcomes are due to the pains of negative parenting; according to their research, negative marital interactions bring negative mother-child interactions (resulting in “internalizing behavior problems”) and negative father-child interactions (resulting in “aggressive peer play”). (Gottman, Katz, and Hooven 234) Predictably, wise parenting can “buffer” children from most dangerous outcomes of the tearful trail toward dissolution (226); however, the researchers’ data suggest “that we ...

I might have learned FAR MORE (and of more value) farming in an Amish community for one year than I learned in over three years at Cincinnati Christian University (where I was on the Dean's List the entire time).
Human conscious thought is extremely clumsy. EXTREMELY clumsy. Do not underestimate our ability to justify our own laziness with academics. Some people studying specialized things.... yes, I get that. But let's not underestimate our ability just to delay responsible behavior, which is demonstrably productive. If you sell you great tomatoes, I haven't had to prove anything to you about the syllogisms on the white boards or cave walls. You needed tomatoes, and here are the best. It's very, very easy to confuse ourselves into thinking that our thinking itself is accomplishing anything. AT ALL. It isn't.

Academia has had this tendency toward bunny rabbit trails that declare war on each other. Non-historical.
