Benyomin Ellegant - On the Times We Live In

I saw this video and asked myself the question "Has this been taken out of context?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGRnhBmHYN0 If you scroll down to look at the comments responding to the linked video, absolutely everyone of them agree that Biden meant exactly what he says in the video. Furthermore, among the responses to the statements, there were myriad affirmatives (thumbs up) and not even one negative response (thumbs down) to the statements. I looked to see what " FactCheck.org " had to say on the subject. The headline of their article read: "Viral Posts Take Biden Quote on Voter Fraud Out of Context" http://factcheck.org/.../viral-posts-take-biden-quote-on... I remember a quote that Mr. Biden had repeatedly taken out of context. The quote was that Mr. Trump had said 'there were very nice people on both sides' in reference to a fatal, apparently racially charged, debacle in Charlottesville, NC. By so doing, Biden was implying that Trump wa...

  November 16, 2020 To the honorable Andrew Cuomo, Governor of the Sovereign State of New York: There’s a rumor going about that certain extremely wealthy individuals are conspiring to set up a world-wide oligarchy and that they intend to enslave individuals by injecting them with markers under the guise of being a vaccine.   Allegedly the markers in this vaccine can trace people to their specific locations in real time. Part of the means of accomplishing this task in distributing this vaccine is to establish a need for it.   The more fear that can be allegedly alleviated by this vaccine, the greater the demand for it.   Of late, an apparent virus seems to have infected the world’s population creating havoc, financial chaos and deaths primarily among the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions.   I don’t know what administrative difficulties you may or may not have had to deal with, but nevertheless, from all appearances you authorized actions whic...

  I believe that there is absolutely nothing that God cannot do.   Some people might argue “but God cannot sin.”   Whether that argument is a truism or not is a matter of debate over which, doubtlessly piles of books have been written and would take me down a rabbit trail which is irrelevant to this essay. Whether it’s my own sin, or simply the way God designed me, I prefer to get all the meat and potatoes that I need directly from the Word of God rather than hearing it second hand from an expositor.   Likewise, I believe in the Gifts of the Spirit but shy away from Charismatic environments because I tend to believe that much of what goes on there is culturally driven and inauthentic.   Hence, if you know me, you’ll not see me engaging in ecstatic utterances and attending non-charismatic churches.   That said, I still hold that there is absolutely nothing that God cannot do and that includes letting a man (or woman) speak in tongues if He wants him or her...

  The American people have been and are being brainwashed. All over the news Joe Biden is being called "President Elect Biden." That phrase is resounding throughout the news reports like a cacophony of a mantra. Some day soon, after all the votes are tallied and all of the litigation is over with, Biden may, very well be the "President Elect." But HE IS NOT THE PRESIDENT ELECT, and those who report the news should know that for a fact It's their responsibility to know that for a fact! However, they are either ignorant or, more likely, purposely dismissive of that truism. Obviously, barring the earth being hit by some catastrophic meteor or some other literally earth shattering event, I see only two rather obvious scenarios for the future: Biden wins and Trump loses or Trump wins and Biden loses. Assuming that, in the end, all the tallying is legitimately corrected and certified, and all the litigation is resolved, what happens under each scenario? If Trump ...

  During their respective debates, both Democratic candidates accused the Trump administration of failure in dealing with the covid crisis. They pointed to the 200,000 Americans who died because of it. Why would the cynic in me ask "Ms. Harris, Mr. Biden, Would you have been happier if 300,000 or 400,000 had died? WOW perhaps you really could have gotten your point across if over 1,000,000 had died! The more dead Americans, the stronger the political points you could have made." While New York was contributing more to the US death toll than any other state, the Governor was being tossed beach balls by his brother Chris on CNN joking about the former's love life and presenting a vastly oversized cotton swab pretending it was used for sticking up someone's nose as a test for covid. The left had already determined Judge Cavanaugh guilty of rape without any evidence. What should deter me from at least wondering if Cuomo, Biden, Harris and their ilk care more about the...

   During the "debate", Joe Biden, in reference to the riot in Charlottesville, quoted Donald Trump as saying "they're very fine folks on both sides" intentionally implying that Trump was saying that KKK members and Nazis are 'very fine people." Mr. Biden is either ignorant or maleficent. For the sake of the country and the world, for that matter, I hope it's the former but I'm more inclined to believe it's the latter. As a friend of mine used to say about some people "he may be crazy but he's not stupid." To put President Trump's quote in context, people were gathering in Charlottesville to demonstrate support for or opposition to the removing of a statue of Robert E. Lee. Mr. Trump commented that there were "good people" on either side of the debate. Interjecting themselves into the demonstrations were apparently Neo Nazis and representatives of Antifa, two extremist groups. The media and apparently Mr Biden ...
