This Has Been My "Dream Team" For A Very Long Time!

This Has Been My "Dream Team" For A Very Long Time! I am convinced that a Trump-Gabbard Team will turn ALL America RED in the November 2024 Elections. Before I show you absolute proof that I am right - I would like to share what we will be missing when Trump-Gabbard wins in November, as compared to the Biden-Harris team currently cluttering our White House and making America a laughing-stock all around the world.

First, we will see a president who will immediately begin to rebuild the strong America he built during his first term. We will see the China, Russia, Iran, North Korea coalition stop laughing, stifle their smiles, and start moving toward building a working coalition WITH America - and put away their rattling sabres.

We will see the American economy once again blossom - inflation will take a big dip - unemployment for ALL Americans will be drastically lowered - jobs will once again come back into America instead to countries who hate us. In other words, we will once again see the America we had between Jan 6, 2017 and Jan 6, 2021 - an America who, without doubt, had the strongest economy, the strongest military, the best controlled border, and happy, productive American Families.

Our borders will once again be closed to all except legal immigrants. The ILLEGALS, foreign terrorist, drug cartels, human trafficking cartels, and other undesirables that have been flooding into America through our OPEN borders - will begin to flow OUT of our borders and back into Mexico. Once again it will be Mexico's burden, not Americas!

Now to the good part. What will we lose by having Tulsi Gabbard as our next Vice President? We will have to learn to live without the Cackling - without the Word Salad - and without the VP who got into politics in California by having an up-close and personal relationship with the married California Democratic Political Boss, Willie Brown.

During the 2019 Democratic Primary Debates, Willie Brown publish a book of his memoirs as a Political Boss in California - and in his book he speaks about his affair with a young female attorney, Kamala Harris, and how he, because of their relationship, was responsible for getting her into politics, by getting her appointed as Attorney General of San Francisco, and then AG of California.

Willie was her ticket into politics. But for some reason, even though the book was published and ready to hit the stores - it disappeared. Hmmm? I wonder how much that cost the Democratic Party?

Although I realize we all will miss the amusement of the Cackling and the Word Salad, because I know YOU are a true Conservative American who wants to "Make America Great Once Again," aka, MAGA PLUS! Based upon our mutual love for America, we all want to see sanity revived once again - I ask you to take about an hour of your time and view these four very impressive videos.

What will you find in these videos? Before continuing let me digress a wee bit. I went on Google to find a better way to express a person who is articulate - and although I seldom read on the Quora site - this question which popped up on Google so strongly expresses the comparison I wanted to show between Cackling "Word Salad" Kamala and Tulsi Gabbard, I have to share it with you.

"Why is it that people who articulate and speak well - seem to be smarter than the average person who doesn’t pronounce their words thoroughly? Is their a correlation between articulation and intelligence?" (Quora) And I would have to answer that question with a really big YES!

In these four short videos, you will not find Tulsi "cackling" - you will not see her waving her arms and offering a diet of Word Salad. What you WILL FIND is a woman who is articulate, intelligent, patriotic, and a Vice President who could, without American missing a beat, step into the Oval Office and continue our American government, if for any reason President Trump could not finish this term in office.

This is an excerpt from a blog I wrote on April 9, 2024 titled "Why Would I Vote For Tulsi Gabbard To Be The Next Vice President?"

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


Why Would I Vote For Tulsi Gabbard To Be The Next Vice President? ~ Thought you would never ask. Let's get serious. We now have seen a VP chosen, not for ability, competence, patriotism, and most certainly not for her ability to speak to an audience and discuss issues of importance to American families.

She was chosen because she is female and for her supposed ethnicity. Those are admirable traits, but definitely not qualifications to be VP - and one heartbeat from being President to the United States. And her "cackling" when asked a serious question is enough make a stone scream!


Then there is Tulsi Gabbard ~ a Lieutenant Colonel and Battalion Commander in the Army Reserves - Iraq War veteran - former Congresswoman - and 2020 Presidential Candidate. Tulsi enlisted in the Hawaii Army National Guard in 2003.

In 2004, she deployed for a year-long tour to Iraq where she served as a medical specialist. After being commissioned as a Second Lieutenant, she was stationed in Kuwait from 2008 to 2009, serving as a Military Police Officer. In July 2021, she was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel.


Tulsi was elected to Congress as the Representative from Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District and served in that office from 2013 to 2021. And if one wants to play the race card - Tulsi was the first Samoan-American to be elected to Congress.

Now I ask YOU to view these videos - and get ready to vote for a TRUMP-GABBARD Ticket in November 2024:

Which Is True - Eternal Heaven And Eternal Hell - Or Annihilationism?

Which Is True - Eternal Heaven And Eternal Hell - Or Annihilationism? ~  Today my good Friend and Christian brother, Jack B. Marti, posted a text graphic which declared:  "The soul of man is not naturally immortal.  If we are redeemed we 'put on immortality.'  (But) "The soul that sinneth, it shall die'."
 

In other words Jack was saying that heaven is eternal and immortal for believers - but NOT eternal and immortal for non-believers. 

That is the definition of
Annihilationism,  the belief that unbelievers will not experience eternal hell and suffering, but will instead just be burned up, extinguished, after death.  I would like to offer Biblical proof that my Friend is confused and is following a theology which is not Biblical.

I had intended to respond to Jack's post, but when I tried Facebook told me my response is too long.  So I have to address my Friend's contention as a new post.  This is what I initially posted to Jack:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


Hi Jack B. Marti,  Your graphic tells us, "The soul of man is not naturally immortal.  If we are redeemed we "put on immortality."  (But) "The soul that sinneth, it shall die."

Let's look at your first statement,
"The soul of man is not naturally immortal. .  .  ."

Yet in Genesis 1:27 God tells us, "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."  

In what way were Adam and Eve, and consequently all mankind, created like Him?  God does not have a physical body, so He could not be speaking of our flesh and bone bodies.  God is perfect in every way.  But because of Adam, man is flawed in every way.  So no mortal perfection for man.  So what is left?  Eternal Immortality!  All mankind after Adam and Eve, later saved or unsaved - are born to be immortal.  The only question is where will that immortal body spend eternity - heaven or hell?

The next part of your statement, "If we are redeemed we 'put on immortality'."  is referring to 1 Corinthians:

1 Corinthians 15:50-53,  "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.  Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed - in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."

This is referring to the fact that because Christ resurrected - all mankind is assured that we, too, will be resurrected.  Christ assured that all mankind will exchange mortal bodies for immortal bodies - both saved and unsaved.  The only difference is the eternal destination.

Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:1-5,  "For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.  For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked.  For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.  Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee."

That is referring to the fact that our corrupt mortal bodies cannot enter into the perfection of the presence of God - so He resurrects we believers into immortal bodies so that we many stand before Him in fellowship. And He later resurrects the immortal bodies of the non-believer to spend eternity separated from God.

Now let's look at your final statement, "
The soul that sinneth, it shall die"   Here you are suggesting Annihilationism, that the body of the unbeliever, rather than suffer in hell eternally as God has determined - will merely burn up, disappear.  That is not Biblical.

You are referring to Ezekiel 18:20-21, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.  But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die."

Pastor David Guzik in his Study Guide for Ezekiel 18 tells us:  The soul who sins shall die: As God judges each man and woman individually, the righteous will be justified and the wicked will be judged.

That phrase you quoted is from Ezekiel 18:20, and it is basically referring to the fact that in God's perfect Love and perfect Judgment - each person must decide for himself / herself to choose eternal Life in Christ, or eternal Torment in hell. 

The Bema Seat Judgment is for those who died in their faith in Jesus Christ, while the Great White Throne Judgment is for those who died in their denial of Christ and have been waiting in Hades/Torment (Luke 16:23) to be resurrected in their immortal bodies to stand before Christ to hear His judgment which sends them to the Lake of Fire, Hell, eternally.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

For reference, these are the Scripture passages referred to in that excerpt from GotQuestion:

Acts 24:15,  ".  .  .  . that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. "

Revelation 20:10, "And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."

Revelation 20:11-15, "Then I saw a Great White Throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them.  And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. 

And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them; and they were judged, each one of them according to their deeds.  Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.  This is the second death, the lake of fire.  And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."


And from the Sheep & Goat Judgment following His Second Coming, this is found in Matthew 25:31-46:

Matthew 25:46, "These (goats, non-believers) will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous (sheep, believers) into eternal life."

Jack, my Christian brother, all mankind was created to be eternal, immortal beings.  Only Adam's fall into sin divided us into those going into Eternal joy and happiness - and those going into Eternal torment and suffering.  Both depend upon the eternal choice made by each individual man/woman in this lifetime.

Ephesians 1:13 tells us that the Holy Spirit enters and dwells within each believer - and Ephesians 4:30 tells us that the Holy Spirit lives within each believer by which we are sealed unto the day of redemption.  What is our day of redemption?  It is the day we die in this mortal body - or the day we are Raptured from this mortal body and into our immortal bodies.

Jack, thank you for your initial post.  This is a point of confusion for many believers - and we have seen a number of supposed Evangelical pastors who are teaching the false hope of Annihilationism.  So I feel this discussion between Friends and brothers in Christ is timely and very worthwhile.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill
