Bart has been very clear in presenting sites where there could be possible error. Witness the caution with the Wikipedia site. I will say, at least with Wikipedia, there are (generally), references where one can check onthe information.


Trees, what, in your mind, would be the difference between a debate and discussion, at least on this site? You can't come here and not expect to have people bringing up different views, especially about such a tenuous and futuristic event. At best, this idea of a one world governemnt is a prediction, based upon some ideological beliefs.

I would suggest that you stop trying to build a case that rests upon his "fear" of thinking about things or upon some idea that he is afraid of news. These aren't news sources, at least the last several aren't.

Try instead to argue the ideas. For instance, he has asked you to examine the greenpeace article with regards to the actual draft. Instead of building up such a strawman about his fear of news, examine the site and pose your own arguments against them!

Tree,

I made one reference from Wikipedia and before I made it I acknowledged its shortcomings myself, something that I didn't observe you to do with any of your secondary sources. The Wikipedia article has both positive and negative things to say about Monckton and it includes about 17 references to primary sources for any who wish to know more about him.

There's no more left to say for my part. Your response to my last post illustrate better most of my points and concerns better than anything else I could say and to address what you have to say there would simply be an exercise in repeating most of what I've tried to say. It would also require me to point out several ad hominem attacks, logical errors and given your response to those previously it would only serve to hurt your feelings, which has never been my goal. I've continued to field your comments and examine your sources and I've seen very little evidence of your interacting with what I've provided for you other than anger and frustration that you're being challenged and having to face someone who disagrees with you.

I'm going to leave it at this and any observing this thread or who come later can judge for themselves and come to their own conclusions as to the validity and support for our points of view.

Blessings to you and should you decide at some point that you wish to continue with this conversation let me know. In the meantime, I'd kindly suggest that you take a little time out before continuing with this thread or starting others so that you're better able to handle any challenges that might come to what you have to say.

blessings,

bart

Treeshanna, I'm not trying to pick on you, but what the other mods are saying is good and they are really taking their time with you, especially Bart. He has taken a lot of his time trying to explain things, including his view on Revelation.

For my part, I pointed out that that article states that the US is now a dictatorship. But it's not. That statement is clearly false, and so bizarrely so, that there's no reason to take the article seriously. But this did not seem to matter to you. It's makes the conversation difficult, to say the least.

Cslewislover, what is making you so sure that US is not a dictatorship? Or is not becoming one?

I will agree only if the statesment is proven false. Why? Because Canada is following USA as an American UN allye. And Canada is becoming a dictatorship loosing its democracy. Other than that, I have to admit that the writer of the article sounds fishy y#-o . But maybe that's part of the game.

But I only have a ton of arguments to discuss this. Maybe you have tons of arguements to help me have another view. One thing thaugh maybe we should start by defining if a dictatorship has to be governed by one dictator or many (silent?) dictators.

Kindly,

Zebulon

Zebulon, please look up the definition of a dictatorship. I need not explain it! Becoming more socialist doesn't equal dictatorship, although it can lead to that. Our country still has tons of legal competition with voting. I'm not saying there isn't a power structure that pulls a lot of strings. But we are not in a dictatorship, no . . .

And, amazingly, we still have our own armed forces!! It's been a while since I looked into this, but if the US decided not to pay its UN dues, wouldn't the UN have a major problem? Who's controlling who? I'm not sure, lol.

Good argument again, Cslewislover.

Who's controlling who? I'm not sure either... :shakehead:

I will have to come back on this later concerning some of the bible passages. I know it had been discussed millions of time but I still think that time is running and that I am getting old ;) or at least older... Things do not happen automaticly and for some reasons part of our responsabilities (if I am not wrong) is to leave to our children and following generations some kind of guidance.
