    So it seems this kind of activity didn't count as requiring the curse words then but somehow it does now.

    The "H" word is appropriate - one more time (out of MANY).

    Two wings of the same eagle , the left and the right.
    Both wings are man's statements. Two groups , left or right, are not of God's kingdom. The left are clearly cold and for every debauched behavior. The right tend to be the lukewarm, who like to mix a little bad here and there, I mean it is clear they are not the saints of God, right?

    Then there are those who are neither left or right of men's politics but are on the straight and narrow which turns to neither side . These are those who are of the kingdom of heaven and influence men's politics when they can. But they clearly are the few, and if not for the few heaven would have none.

    A Father's Instruction Proverbs 4:26-27

    …26Make level paths for your feet, and all your ways will be sure. 27Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your feet away from evil.

    The right thinks they are at the right hand of God and the left are at the left hand of God. But God calls men from both the left and the right to go within and bring forth the kingdom of heaven through accepting Jesus Christ. I simply focus on the crux of the issue......man's spirituality.

    Both sides are playing a role in dividing the country. Satan is smarter than most but not smarter than the few.

    The left is bloody - abortion, euthanasia, eugenics.
    The right is asleep at the helm as the iceberg is closing in.

    True I'm looking for that City not built with hands.

    But until it comes down from heaven I'll do what I can to defend my earthly country from enemies both foreign and domestic.

    And that surely will be tested, and by a greater enemy at that. Thanks for sharing your view point.

    Come on, you know by now that the left does not care what Obama did. It's everything Obama did good, and everything Trump does is bad.

    That was the COMPASSIONATE pepper spray that left a holiday-style minty aftertaste. Don’t you Obama-hating racists know anything?

    Doncha get it?

    Only under Republican presidents is it a travesty to use CS gas on violent border mobs.

    It's not only ok under a democrat, it's not even worth reporting.

    Our greatest weapons - Prayer and fasting, meditation.

    Personally I don't think there is really that much which is "spiritual" about fasting.

    What it does IMO is clear out the food fog in the brain to help one think clearer (besides being good for what ails you).

    Its kind of like taking an aspirin for a headache.

    Of course you don't because you are a protestant. Only bible believing persons believe what the scriptures say. People like you claim scripture alone but when it comes to things which challenge a Protestant philosophy it is unimportant and of no value.
    so , it would seem people like you only honor God with lips, yelling , SOLA SCRIPTURA , but your hearts are far from Him.
    Tradition and Worship Matthew 15:7-9
    …7You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: 8‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”…

    Protestants are all about the precepts of men , all about definitions based in men's philosophies. Nothing which is of the heart.

    Matthew 6:16-18 New King James Version (NKJV)
    Fasting to Be Seen Only by God
    16 “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

    God rewards those who fast. Why? because you deny the flesh for Him so there is a spiritual benefit....that which comes from God. You decide of what value that is to you, I believe it is of great value concerning God.

    Yes OLW I agree, it leads to a spiritual value of great degree.

    I find a prolonged fast clears the flesh of its lust for food.
    Not that food in and of itself is evil, Jesus ate and drank with sinners (like you and I).

    There is a kind of "sleep" and "drunkenness" we are in while we live our lives here on planet earth.

    1 Thessalonians 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

    Denying the flesh LEADS to spiritual reality. It is not reality itself.
