Ukraine and the Discredited "Domino Theory"

[HeirofSalvation]

Well, certainly not according to the late Congressman Henry Hyde:

"There are things in the Constitution that have been overtaken by events and are no longer relevant to a modern society. Declaration of war is one of them. Your motion is inappropriate, anachronistic, and it isn't done anymore."

- U.S. Representative Henry Hyde, Oct. 3, 2002

I loved Henry Hyde!

I don't know the context of this quote....but, reading it, it sounds as though Hyde is essentially in agreement with me on this. It seems he is actually saying that "Declaration of War" is an obsolete concept altogether.
I don't actually agree with that, but, if you read the first two sentences (in a vacuum) it seems he is saying that declaring war is anachronistic altogether and unnecessary.
I think that's over-stating the case and generally, I agree with your views....I just don't ground them on the power to declare war.

don't know the context of this quote

Henry Hyde said it in reference to a motion that Congressman Ron Paul offered to declare war on Iraq (a motion which Paul said he would vote against) as he thought, as do I, that if the United States government is going to go to war then it should be done constitutionally.

anachronistic

The word "anachronistic" reminds me of when I ran for Congress in 2014 as the Libertarian Party candidate in my district and, in an editorial in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette about the televised debate I participated in, I was described as being anachronistic.

LOL! Well, a newspaper calling you that is a good thing! Wear the moniker with pride.

Russia wasn’t consecrated as requested at Fatima, and as a result “ Russia will punish the world “
Prophecy is coming through perfectly. People forget that the other part of it involved both Ukraine and Russia.
Couple that with the other prophecies as at Garabandal and you see why Catholics have been keeping a close eye on Russia for so long.
The Garabandal prophecy indicated that great upheaval would happen in Europe after the Pope returns from Moscow. A Pope has never been to Russia or Moscow, ever in history.

Recently the Russian press has said that the Pope would possibly visit Moscow, so many Catholics are watching another prophecy possibly being fulfilled soon.

This conflict will go nuclear as both sides keep escalating and not willing to compromise. Russia losing is the world losing.

The Russia Ukraine war is the actual start of the tribulation. From now on the world is going to really suffer.

Catholicism is a horrible, false religion. It is an idolatrous, man-made religion. It is "Christian" in name only.

Good to know that you care about the U.S. Constitution, too.

So I take it, you don’t trust Catholic prophecy on Russia?

Fátima prophecied all this 100 years ago.

Russia has been central in modern Catholic prophecy.

I am a Christian. I follow Christ. I do not follow popery.

Well I’m not sensing the Love, just prejudice and sanctimony.

2 John 1:9- 11 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: for he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

I do not think that anyone, certainly after God regenerates them and gives them a new heart, would continue on, certainly not for any length of time, in a congregation where a false gospel is being proclaimed.

It was Catholics that preserved the scriptures from their Apostolic founders and determined the Bible itself. Catholicism is biblical Christianity.
It maintains the same Ancient Apostolic Gospel and it’s Apostolic interpretation.

 

[KenH]

Catholicism is biblical Christianity.

Nope. Any religion that does not teach that salvation is based on Christ ALONE fulfilling all of the conditions for God's elect is false. I will have nothing to do with any false religion - Catholic, Protestant, or whatever it calls itself.

That’s why I hold the Catholic Faith to be true.

Not true at all. "Pre Catholic" Christians translated the Bible into Latin, and these versions are called "Old Latin" manuscripts. Some are called "North African". Some Spanish, others Italian. They all had differences between them, so in the 4th century AD a Pope commissioned Jerome to translate a new Version in Latin. At first the old latin versions and the Vulgate competed, but in the end the Vulgate won out. But even it became mixed with Old Latin Versions and there have been several recensions of the Vulgate.

We get our scriptures from the Greek and Hebrew directly. Baptists do not get their versions from the Latin. Certainly Latin has influenced our Bible translations some, as well as our culture. But our Bibles are usually a little different from Catholic ones.
