Best Self-Defense Caliber?

Should our Nation go to war against itself or an invading adversary the best “caliber(s)” are those that are and will be readily available which are primarily NATO authorized; hence, 22; 9mm; 223/5.56; 308/7.62; 7.62X39; 12-gauge shot shells in slug, 00-buck, #4-buck; therefore, any weapon that you choose to build or purchase as your GO-TO weapon chambered in a caliber other than these listed and should law and order completely collapse, you’ll be searching the dead for sustenance and a weapon chambered in these calibers.

What is the meaning and purpose of LIFE?

This temporary life constrained by Time and physics is a temporary battle ground for an unfathomable war with its origin in the eternal Spiritual Realm and you and I are intricate players in that war between good v. evil. Our purpose here is as warriors who will choose to ally with our Creator or our Creator’s nemesis and our destiny is wholly contingent upon our alliances in the here and now. 

If you do not understand this reality, a spiritual reality clearly articulated within the Canon of Scripture, nihilism is the resultant, nihilism is pervasive and spiritual ignorance is death of the body, mind, soul. Our Creator has provided you with His battle strategy within the Canon of Scripture and Elohim has clearly articulated the who, what, where, when, why, how, concerning your origin and your purpose and your destiny; therefore, you are provided the opportunity to KNOW and LIVE ABUNDANTLY in that knowledge or deny and DIE IN FUTILITY; if you desire “meaning” and “purpose” in this temporary life you will find it in the Canon of Scripture and ultimately in a personal, intimate, relationship with your Creator who is Jesus our Messiah; otherwise, your tenure upon this temporary Earth will be of no account, an existence of wastefulness.

You are a spirit encapsulated, constrained, confined, within a decaying body of flesh and your spirit is created in the spiritual image of your Creator (Genesis 1:26-28) possessing certain divine attributes of our Creator; therefore, if you exist apart from your Creator through denial of His existence and sovereignty over your life, you will exist in nihilism, a subpar existence defined by an all encompassing sense of dissatisfaction with the status quo, you will question your raison d’etre and life will have no lasting purpose or joy. If you choose to honor your Creator, Jesus Christ, by faith and trust in Him as your Sovereign Lord, your life will be filled with purpose, hope, peace; therefore, choose wisely. Walk daily in Christian sanctification via obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit; here, you will find peace (Galatians 5:16; Romans 5:1). This life is NOT about religion’s days and diets and rules and regulations or secularism’s sexual fulfillment and money and the acquisition of things; this life is about serving our Creator and honoring His will through faith, nothing more than an intimate; personal, relationship with the One who created you; herein is the answer and purpose of life within the Realm of Time.

Jesus said,

39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.41 I do not receive glory from people.42 But I know that you do not have the love of God within you.43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? John 5 (ESV)

Reason #11 relevant to WHY Atheism is Killing America…

See: “10-Reasons why Atheism is Killing America” https://rickeyholtsclaw.com/2019/02/21/why-atheism-is-killing-america/

@Putin challenged me to provide an eleventh-reason why Atheism is killing America; this, in addition to the ten-reasons articulated in a Debate Premise published on 3/09/24 in this DebateIsland forum that teams with representatives of Satan i.e., the vile atheist…

Reason#11 why Liberalism-Progressivism-Atheism are destroying America is the do-gooder virtue signaling LEFT’s warped understanding of human nature as the atheist denies the Biblical sin-nature of humanity (Romans 5:12) and erroneously, foolishly, believes that human nature is basically “good” and all that is required for that “goodness” to manifest in reality is the provision of Maslow’s needs made readily accessible…an ingratiating environment conducive to human realization of nirvana and then there would be World peace and interpersonal relationships of love, joy, fulfillment….these are the thoughts of a demonic fool and we see them played-out in real time via our current war on police; war on jurisprudence-bail-confinement-do the crime do the time…the decriminalization of theft, drugs, forms of assault…BLM, ANTIFA….the atheist is a boil on the butt of America. 

12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

What are the “religious tenets” of the “faith” of Atheism?

There exists NO religion, secular or theological, that requires greater faith from its adherents than the religion of Atheism. 

Consider this: The Atheist must believe that nothing produces everything, non-life produces life, randomness produces fine-tuning, chaos produces information, unconsciousness produces consciousness, and non-reason produces reason and “In the beginning” there was NOTHING that exploded and from this chaos emanated design, logic, reason, purpose, morality, LIFE – the complex human genome.

With that said, what are the defining religious “tenets” of Atheism?

1) Faith – belief that nothing created something.

2) Infanticide – seeing that life is the product of a primordial soup that arose from the abyss, life has no intrinsic value therefore narcissism is god, sensual pleasure is the epitome of existence and reality; therefore, anything or anyone that is an encumbrance to one’s narcissistic desires is easily remedied by death of the “obstruction.” In Atheism, children are a byproduct of sensuality; therefore, expendable through death and a simple flush of the toilet.

3) Lesbianism – Gayness – Bisexuality – Transsexualism – Queerdom // Seeing that objective morality is an irrelevant construct of man’s theological religions, the secular religion of Atheism strictly adheres to “moral relativism;” therefore, the human body is a social experiment for pleasuring sexually and the epitome of the “human experience” is one’s sexuality and the freedom to express same void societal limitations…to Hell with societal morality – long live the sexual genitalia as icons of godly pleasure. 

4) Moral Relativism – “If it feels good – do it” – after all – It’s your life baby…enjoy it.

5) Darwinism – Evolutionary Theory – a lesser god in Atheism from which all things find purpose in origin. Nothing created Something that exploded and provided Meaning; therefore, Charles Darwin and Richard Dawkins are atheistic deity.

In conclusion:

Atheism is a religion of the demonic – an all encompassing destructive entity in any society seeking sustainable mores, norms, values, a healthy and productive foundation for a future posterity. Atheism has no place in American society based upon the precepts of a Constitutional Republic that was founded upon the precepts of Christianity. Atheism and its parishioners are to be feared and shunned and ostracized from a society if that society is to have any hope of sustainability. 

Are the secular religions of Atheism-Secular Humanism based solely on Faith?

I hear the demonically deceived atheists and secular humanists that plague these forums and debates with baseless, unsubstantiated, rhetoric, theories, concerning the myths espoused by Darwin, Aron Ra, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Hawking…and I ask the atheist to provide evidence that our Creator does not exist by providing evidence of a naturalistic creation apart from a supernatural Creator yet no evidence is forthcoming; therefore, is it logical to conclude that an atheist’ denial of an omnipotent, supernatural, Creator is based solely upon FAITH? I think it is, change my mind?

Did Elohim foreordain Atheism, rejection of Jesus as Messiah?

Did Elohim foreordain – predestine the Atheist to reject Him in Jesus Christ?

Romans 8:29: For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.”

Christian Response…

Romans 8:29 tells you that Elohim foreknew you and predestined you to conform to the image of Jesus Christ via the imputation by faith but you chose to conform to the image of Elohim’s nemesis, Satan.

Consider this as it is most relevant, a case in point…

Elohim also foreknew and foreordained Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, as the Patriarchy of a people Elohim called “the apple of my eye” (Zechariah 2:8) and Elohim lavished them with His covenants and provisions and protection and sustenance as they were to be the progenitors of His Messiah through Judah; Messiah Yeshua came directly, specifically, to Israel’s children (Matthew 15:24) to proselytize them in the New Covenant’s Gospel and prepare them as ministers of the Gospel to the entire World via the Great Commission; this, in fulfillment of Elohim’s promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:3b); unfortunately, Israel’s children (like you and other atheists in this forum) rejected their Messiah; Israel’s children rejected the New Covenant and the Gospel; Israel’s children via free will rejected their ordination as ministers of the Great Commission; Israel’s children conspired with Rome to murder their Messiah upon a tree while exclaiming that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); therefore, Elohim in Jesus was broken and crushed due their rejection (Matthew 23:37) and ultimately the Gospel and the Great Commission were taken from Israel and given to the Gentile; this, until the fullness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom (Romans 11:25; Acts 13:46) and Israel has subsequently, consequently, been placed under judgment and only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell due their unbelief and their blindness (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27); therefore, even though Elohim poured Himself and His divine codified laws and covenants into Israel’s children, it was their rejection, their unbelief, their stubbornness, that overrode Elohim’s divine will and ordination of Israel’s children…you are no different…you have been given Jesus as Mediator for your sin by faith yet you err in wisdom and judgment and discernment exactly like Israel’s children, to this very day.
