Brilliant Strategy

 

Many of you probably watched what took place between Donald Trump and Zelensky on Friday February 28, 2025, a meeting intended to cement a U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal. The total meeting time was about 45 minutes. In case you missed it, here's a short clip... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A3-8_PCYxo  Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, you might be thinking to yourself, Oh my God, Donald Trump just screwed up.

The fake media and the Democrats will claim Trump disrespected and humiliated "a hero." The propaganda has already started, so let me explain the difference between what you believe you witnessed and what actually happened.

Donald Trump has been under constant political persecution since the beginning of his first term. Over time, he has learned to be patient and calculated.

​Zelensky thought he could make the same money laundering deal he had with Biden. Tonight, Zelensky was invited to the Oval Office. However, both Trump and JD Vance knew exactly what Zelensky was going to do—he would use this opportunity, in front of the American people, to make a power play. Both Trump and Vance anticipated this.

When Zelensky began appealing to the emotions of the American people, JD Vance stepped in, accusing him of disrespecting Donald Trump. This was brilliant strategy. It’s important to understand that Zelensky is trying to gain access to NATO.

Trump knew this but could not allow it to happen. If Ukraine joins NATO, the U.S. would be bound by NATO’s collective defense agreement—an attack on one is an attack on all.

Now consider the larger implications: Ukraine and Russia despise each other. If Ukraine were to become a NATO member, any future skirmish between them would obligate the U.S. to enter into direct conflict with Russia. This would mean World War III. And if that happened, China would have to choose a side—they would almost certainly align with Russia.

So what you witnessed tonight was a setup. Trump and JD Vance knew that the only way to achieve peace was to strategically align, at least on the surface, with Russia. Why? Because Russia would never sign a peace treaty if Ukraine were admitted into NATO.

This is why Trump dismantled Zelinsky’s argument. And when Zelensky, seeing his play failing, tried to backtrack and offer a treaty, Trump refused.

Zelensky’s real intent was clear—he would not agree to peace unless security guarantees were in place. But what was he actually saying? That NATO must accept Ukraine. However, Russia would never agree to peace, knowing that NATO, their historical adversary, would surround them.

Zelensky, Putin, and Trump all knew this. Zelensky, thinking he had Democratic support, believed he could make this bold move on live television. But Trump and Vance saw right through it and outmaneuvered him.

 

They knew that, in the short term, Democrats and the media would try to use this moment against them. But they also knew they had two years before midterms to prove their strategy was the right one. So they held their ground—brilliantly so.

Now, Zelensky will have no choice but to back down and accept Trump's terms. But here’s the genius part—Trump is actually protecting Ukraine without dragging the U.S. into war.

By negotiating a mineral deal, Trump ensures that Americans will be involved in Ukraine’s mining industry. This prevents Russia from launching an invasion, because attacking Ukraine would mean endangering American lives—something that would force the U.S. to respond. Zelensky left the White House without signing the mineral deal. He'll be back, hat in hand.

Trump played both sides like a master chess player. In the end, Zelensky will have no choice but to concede, because without U.S. support, Ukraine cannot win a prolonged war against Russia. And once U.S. companies have mining operations in Ukraine, Putin will be unable to attack without triggering massive international consequences.

Don’t underestimate Donald Trump. In this game of chess, he’s 10 moves ahead of everyone.

 

 Post Script

Other World Leaders Know The Score

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban releases a statement after President Trump’s meeting with Zelensky.

 

“Strong men make peace, weak men make war. Today President Trump stood bravely for peace. Even if it was difficult for many to digest. Thank you, Mr. President!”

Some in the USA are more loyal to Ukraine’s Zelensky than to America and our President. One pundit is quoted as saying, "We need to defeat  Trumpism." Not smart at all. Don't drank the liberal kool-aid. For you people too young to know about the Jonestown Massacre it means "Drinking the Kool-Aid" is strongly believing in and accepting a deadly, deranged, or foolish ideology or concept based only upon the overpowering coaxing of the fake media.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Humiliation

 

All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. At the end of the twelve months he was walking about the royal palace of Babylon. The king spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?”

While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you! And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.”

That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws. 

Nebuchadnezzar Praises God

 

And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth.
No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, “What have You done?”

At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down. ~ Daniel 4:28-37

God Made Trump... https://www.facebook.com/reel/1364350254526309

God made the Clintons, the Obamas, and the Bidens. God made Judas to be the betrayer of Jesus, someone had to do it. God makes everything and everybody is for a purpose... some are made for righteousness and some unrighteousness. God made choice, it's up to you to choose who and what you believe and why you believe it. 

 

Perilous Times and Perilous Men

 As it is written: "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good... ~ 2 Timothy 3:1-9

So what is the answer? As always, Jesus Christ is the answer. Sounds simplistic doesn't it? It is simple. Instead of trying to sort out all the propaganda and misinformation spewed out by "despisers of good", go to the source of ALL TRUTH. Christians do not have to endure liars, and it really does not matter what they say or do. When Jesus returns He will put everything in order.

Jesus said, "Follow Me,"not join some Church or try to find the right path on your own. Jesus was born as a human being, was tempted in all points as we are. Jesus paid the price for mankind's sins once and for all, suffered and died, and rose from the dead. Jesus KNOWS exactly how you think, feel, and act. He's been there, done that.

Jesus is the only person qualified to give you advice. Listen to Him! He will always tell you the Truth. Be very careful: God gives us choice, not "free will."  If man had free will that would place man on the same level with God.

Liars

 

 

All liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. ~ Revelation 21:8

On the flip side, let us pray for all liars: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." ~ Matthew 5:43-48

It is not easy being sons of our Father. The kind of love God requires comes very hard. The carnal mind wants revenge and delights in seeing liars "get theirs." God's love says: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. ~ Luke 23:34

God Always Gives Us a Choice

And if it seems evil (profoundly immoral and wicked) to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites (bitter, a rebel, a babbler, a blowhard, a windbag, a liar), in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house (family), we will serve the Lord. ~ Joshua 24:15

The modern day Amorites are the people who babble on about things that any rational person knows are not true. Because they did not receive the love of the truth, And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11  Unrighteousness is defined as sin, wrongdoing, or evil behavior that goes against God's law. It also refers to injustice, idolatry, and moral corruption. 

 

There are two ways to be deceived when lied to. One is to believe what isn't true (fake news, political promises, Jewish fables, and traditions of organization religion); the other is to refuse to believe what is true (the Word of God). ~ Titus 1:13-15   

 

Jesus said, "Follow Me,"not join some Church or try to find the right path on your own. Jesus was born as a human being, was tempted in all points as we are. Jesus paid the price for mankind's sins once and for all, suffered and died, and rose from the dead. Jesus KNOWS exactly how you think, feel, and act. He's been there, done that.

Noah and the Flood

 

 

Many critics of the Bible like to point out apparent discrepancies in Bible narratives. One story that is hard to believe is Noah and the flood. Noah was a descendant of Adam, meaning Adam is Noah's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, as Noah is listed as the ninth generation from Adam in the biblical genealogy; Noah's father, Lamech, is the direct link in this lineage.

Contrary to Churchanity doctrines, Adam and Eve are not the progenitors of the whole human race. If you believe that Adam and Eve were the first humans, you need to re-read Genesis 1 and 2. There were other races (the Bible refers to race as "families of man") on the earth long before Adam arrived. We know that Cain took a wife from the land of Nod. ~ Genesis 4:15-17

We also know that the phrase "kind after kind" appears more than 30 times in Scripture. Today, we know kind after kind means DNA. White people only produce white babies, black people have black babies, dogs have dogs, cats have cats, etc.

And if you believe the three sons of Noah repopulated the earth with all the different races, then "kind after kind" is meaningless. The truth is the flood of Noah only destroyed the wicked, not innocent people who were not in the transgression. And what was the transgression? Intermarriage with "strangers." (other races or nationalities) ~ 1 Kings 11:1-8 & Ezra 10:10

 

Noah's descendants eventually intermarried with other races because DNA tests reveal multiple ancestors from all parts of the world.

 

What about Neanderthals Humans?

Neanderthals were very early (archaic) humans who lived in Europe and Western Asia from about 400,000 years ago until they became extinct about 40,000 years ago, or intermarried with Adamites and over time their physical appearance changed. 

 

Svante Pääbo won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2022 for his discoveries concerning the genome of the Neanderthal, of extinct hominids and human evolution.

 

Neanderthal humans were most likely created in the Genesis chapter one creation because God created male and female. In Genesis chapter two when Adam was formed and became a living being, Adam was was alone. He had no female companion until Eve was created for him. There were other people on the earth long before Adam, perhaps millions of years. We know Cain married a woman from the land of Nod (the word Nod means wandering, like in hunter-gatherers). ~ Genesis 4:16

Is God Real?

First, let's get something straight. Churchianity is not Christianity.

Q. If God is real why doesn't He come down from heaven and show us?

A. He did! God sent His Son. We killed Him. 

Q. Did God create the heavens and earth in six 24 hour days?

A. No

 

Q. Is the story of Noah and the flood true?

A. Yes

 

This Is For You "Logical" Thinkers

Asking if Yahweh God is real is like asking is the wind real. You can't see the wind or know where it comes from, but you know wind is real because you can feel and see the power of wind. Likewise, you can see the exquisite design of nature and know for certain there is a Creator. The cell phone you use is proof positive there's a cell phone maker. Stuff doesn't just happen, use your logical brain. Yeah, well where did God come from? We don't know, our brain is not that big.

There are a lot of unsolved mysteries in the Bible. Yahweh only reveals knowledge on a need to know basis. Example: Jesus is the only begotten son of God. Begotten son means a son who was produced through procreation, or fathered. In the Bible, "only begotten son" is used to describe Jesus Christ as the unique Son of God. Who was Jesus' heavenly mother? Does God the Father have a wife? We don't know the answers to those questions. All we know from the Bible is Mary was his earthly mother.

How did Jesus pre-exist? We don't know how to explain John 1:1... In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The original word for God is Elohim, a uni-plural word like team, church, family. The Body of Christ consists of many members, but all one body. God is not a trinity, God is a unity. Jesus is not his own "father." When Jesus said: "I and My Father are one" (family), He meant it. ~John 10:30

 

Unlike man, Yahweh has never been alone. Because Yahweh is a Spirit being He has union with Himself and has always existed in a loving relationship. Therefore, there is no need for Yahweh to have a wife or companion.

The pagan religions often portrayed their false gods as having wives, consorts, and love interests, but the One True God is unlike the worthless idols of paganism..  

If you don't know where you came from or where you're going, you need a Guide. Jesus said, "Follow Me," not join some Church or try to find the right path on your own. Every human being is born knowing right from wrong. People don't believe God is real until they experienced God. Albert Einstein is quoted as saying, "All true learning is experience. Everything else is just information."  

 

The Church Jesus founded is not an earthly organization. True Christian assembly is with Believers, not institutions. Believers are individuals, searching for God by revelation, perseverance, and personal conviction. They worship in spirit and in truth, not in Articles of Faith, dogmatic ritual, or by unction from a hireling clergy. 

 

The ultimate insult to God is to declare that He made a mistake in your gender or skin color. God sent His Son to earth to be born as a human being. Jesus was tempted in all points as we are, he suffered and died, and rose from the dead. Jesus KNOWS exactly how you think, feel, and act. He's been there, done that. Jesus paid man's sin debt in full, once and for all. Jesus is the only person qualified to give you advice. Listen to Him! How To Hear God

 

What Does God Expect From Man?

 The LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. ~ Micah 6:8 (New Living Translation) Is that asking too much?

Can Women Be Pastors, Bishops, or Deacons?

Women Can Hold High Office. Deborah Was a Judge, But Not a Priest.

As the only female judge mentioned in the Bible, Deborah is known for being a compassionate leader (of which there weren't many in Biblical times). She worked to purge the nation of those who kept Israel spiritually complacent and under slavery to the Canaanites, returning to worship of the one true God.

 

Women in the Bible played crucial roles in biblical narratives: Women were not just side characters; they were central to many of the Bible's most pivotal moments.

 

That being said, here are a few core reasons why we should study and reflect on women depicted in the Bible. 

 

Women of the Bible have:

• Contributed to the fulfillment of God's plan: From Sarah to Mary, women played integral roles in God's overarching plan for humanity.‍
• Left a lasting legacy and impact: Their stories continue to inspire and guide believers today.‍
• Inspired and empowered others: Through their faith and actions, biblical women have motivated countless generations.‍
• Served as examples of righteousness and virtue: Their lives can provide lessons in how to live righteously.‍
• Encountered transformative encounters with God: Stories of women like Hannah and Mary Magdalene show profound moments of divine interaction.‍
• Nurtured and cared for their families: From the very beginning, women like Eve played essential roles in the family unit.‍
• Embraced their unique callings and giftings: Each woman, from Deborah to Ruth, had a unique role and purpose in the biblical narrative.
  

Ultimately, learning about women of the Bible can help us understand and apply powerful lessons about the value of resilience, trust, and faith that we see in women of the Bible. 

Who Are Some of the Great Women in the Bible?

These prominent women include the Matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, Miriam the prophetess, Deborah the Judge, Huldah the prophetess, Abigail (who married David), Rahab, and Esther. A common phenomenon in the Bible is the pivotal role that women take in subverting man-made power structures.

 

Does The Bible Allow Women To Be Pastors, Bishops or Deacons?

Reading through Scripture, a few passages stand out that directly speak to the role of women in the church: 

 

1 Corinthians 11:3-12, 14:34-35, 1 Timothy 2:11-15 and Titus 1, 2. These passages are the foundation for the conclusion that women cannot serve as pastors in churches. God created women to be a helpmate to a man. According to 1 Timothy 2:12, it is not considered lawful for a woman to "rule over" a man, as it states that a woman should not teach or exercise authority over a man. However, none of these scriptures forbid women from teaching their children or speaking in church giving their unique God-given insights.

What Does the Bible Say About Lois and Eunice?

“I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also” (2 Timothy 1:5). As we see, Lois and Eunice were sincere in their faith and they were able to pass this down to Timothy. Without godly women there would be no church.

Can Women Be Pastors, Bishops, or Deacons? What Does the Bible Say?

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach. ~ 1 Timothy 3:2 

 

Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. ~ 1 Timothy 3:12 

 

Unless you twist the scriptures, it is plain that bishops and deacons are husbands (men) and the wife is a woman. There is no biblical authority for women to be pastors, bishops, or deacons. However, wives can be of great help to her husband when he serves in the Church.

Contradictions in the Bible

^{As Christians we must be ready always to give account for what we believe and why we believe it, rightly dividing the word of Truth. When we rely solely on what our denomination teaches, we can be accused of a double standard by the enemies of Christ. Example: We know the commandment to "Honor your father and your mother" is found in both the Old and New Testaments. Then in Matthew 10:34-37 we find this confusing scripture.}

³⁴ Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

³⁵ For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

³⁶ And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

³⁷ He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

What's going on? Is there a contradiction? Not at all when understood in context and with a spiritual mind. Take verse 37... he that loves father or mother's beliefs more than me is not worthy of me. Jesus was preparing His disciples for the conflict that always occurs when we break family traditions.

My father and mother, brothers and sisters were very concerned when I announced I was leaving our family denomination. They could not understand why I no longer loved them enough to just stay put. It took years to heal the hurt, and to this day they wonder why I left churchanity.

The adversary loves to cherry pick scriptures and tries to twist it into something it does not mean. Also, the translators often change or leave out certain words that causes confusion. However, God is not the author of confusion. ~ 1 Corinthians 14:33
