@ RANTING RATITE….. LOL. _God is our Creator;_ we exist _BECAUSE of His imagination!_ Enlisting the favor and help of God _ENSURES_ our safety; denying God _ENSURES_ our downfall. The Bible says that Jesus will accept all who seek Him. And it says to seek Him while He may still be found. That means, IF you want to know your Creator, you can. And it means that there’s an expiration date on the offer- your death or loss of cognition (think mental incapacity or coma). I encourage you to seek Him! Father God, please open the eyes of this person. Please cause everything in their life to draw this person, and all who are lost or rebellious, to You- that they would trust Jesus’ finished work on the cross to redeem creation, and be born again into Your eternal family. Thank You! In Jesus’ Name, amen.

@ What proves God exists? The fact that we exist, that the planets’ paths are dependable, that earth has seasons, that the ocean knows its boundaries- the fact that order exists. But on a larger scale- do some research about Jesus of Nazareth. Use secular or Biblical resources: learning about Jesus will give you all the proof you need. Here’s the thing RR, YOU have to seek Him; no one can do it for you. That seeking - or not seeking- will determine your eternal future. A prudent person would make sure they were right. Are you SURE, RR? For grins, let’s say there is a Heaven and there is a Hell. Are you willing to spend eternity burning in Hell without doing your due diligence? Before you reply with, “I wouldn’t want to spend eternity in Heaven with a God Who would send someone to Hell;” one answer: JESUS. God sends no one to Hell, but _refusing the pardon His Son died to freely give you does_. Your choice, RR: accept the free gift of life or choose to perish. Death is a transition, it is NOT the End. Don’t believe me? I encourage you to seek Him! It’s the best choice you’ll EVER make. God go with you, RR. ❤️ gr

I think that if he gets his way all students to do so. These folks want to push THEIR beliefs on children. When segregation of the schools became the law of the land parents who had money started their own Christian schools. Now that they want to defund the department of education things will go back to the way they were. Schools that are in large urban areas and poor areas will get the left overs. I went to a segregationed school and we got what was left, books with pages torn out and pages marked up our teachers were told what to teach us and if they didnt the small amount of monies that our schools got would be cut even further. I cant believe that this is a another battle that I thought was won. If they succeed in this then the children in school now will suffer. I think that this is what they want. Its already a two tier society now, but if they put these plans in play youll see those who benefit from quality education will be over those whose education was stunted. This has to stop.
