Agreed. The foundation must be built on rock( faith, trust). I hope I’m not considered a moron for mentioning this, but Dr. Reiner Feullmich is conducting Crimes against Humanity in Europe. Maybe we at times, need something like that to help get through the tough times. Although we’re taught to go by faith, not sight. I know I just can’t stand what’s happening to us, the world.

Check out Dr. Malone’s post today. It’s an interview with Mike Wallace and Aldus (sp?) Huxley in 1958! The narrative before the video is very interesting. Today has been a long time coming.

Hi Ray,

I've come back to this post because l am really troubled. I have been pondering it all evening....

I don't have a comment or opinion....l have questions to ask you.

I'm not sure what you are saying & because l have deep respect for your perspective & viewpoints l am SINCERELY asking for clarification.

I believe you are stating that we should NOT have FALSE hope.....

Okay....l get that & l agree.

You said:

HOPE MUST NOT PRECEDE FAITH.

*What faith? Faith in what?

You said:

HOPE MUST BE BASED ON TRUST/FAITH.

*Trust in what? Ourselves? Our Creator? A personal spiritual belief system?

*Faith in what?

(same questions as above).

Obviously l do not now nor ever did place my faith & trust in fallible entities. I've mentioned before that l am a believer in a Creator of all that exists.

Yes, l've had my "hope" encouraged but then dashed because l was foolish in my hope (like initially thinking Feullmich's hearings would "hopefully" solve things).

You also said if our Creator is not well-meaning then we are all screwed....well, yes, that's a given!

I sincerely hope (haha...there's that word again) that He is well-meaning! I have faith/trust that He "lS" well-meaning. I pray this is not all just a big cosmic joke. I don't believe it is.

Are you saying that we should not have false hope & just be blundering along "hoping" things will someday get better? Of course, another given. That would be foolish....

Okay, so are you saying we must have trust/faith that a Higher Power is in control (even if that means humankind will eventually become extinct as l believe it very well could happen)?

I guess l'm obtuse (please forgive me) but l am asking you for clarification on what you are implying in this post.

My hope is gone but l still have faith/trust in God & His plan for His creation. Is that what you are saying we should have in order to have hope? That we should trust that our Creator is in control so that we can thereby have HOPE for the future of our souls no matter what happens in this earthly realm?

That if we who have faith/trust in God first & foremost then we can have "hope" that it will all work out in eternity?

Please clarify even if l am totally misunderstanding what you are saying in this post. This is such a profound issue. Probably the most important issue for all of humanity.

If the future of humanity is doomed so be it. But who are you implying we should place our trust/faith in to allow us to have hope?

That is my question.

Thank-you in advance for your reply!
