I don't recall anyone asking you for what you consider pretentious or not, . We are discussing the imputed significance of a statue based on its similarity to descriptions in a biblical prophecy, NOT whether or not you think a poster is pretentious.
i am not discussing a person.
i am discussing the views and opinions expressed.
in particular the views expressed that people "shouldn't express opinions" and "shouldn't even talk about it" without "doing the research."
I had to Google that to know what you are even talking about: https://www.snopes.com/news/2021/12/...mes-sculpture/
It is an artist's depiction of a winged jaguar guarding world peace. I don't see any reason to disbelieve that.........
Thank you for your ^ above^ link.
With backing the UN can be strengthened to carry out God's Will against trouble-filled corrupted religion.
What I find of interest is that it seems to be depicting the UN as the guardian of Peace and Security.
That ties in nicely with 1st Thess. 5:2-3
When the powers in charge are saying, " Peace and Security..." that is actually going to be the precursor to the coming great tribulation of Rev. 7:14,9 before Jesus, as Prince of Peace, will be the one to usher in global Peace on Earth.
The ' sword-like executional words from Jesus' mouth ' will rid the Earth of the wicked -> Isaiah 11:3-4; Rev. 19:14-15
What sort of meaningful prophecy is people in charge using the phrase "peace and security"? That is verbiage that governments have used since the beginning of time as that is part of their function. A google search of this phrase turned up a proclamation from JFK in the early 1960s using this phrase and one from Obama in 2011, right off the bat. So by your logic, those were indicators of the tribulation too.
And how about this one: Abraham Lincoln used this exact phrase in his first inauguration address in 1861:
Quote:
I now reiterate these sentiments: and in doing so, I only press upon the public attention the most conclusive evidence of which the case is susceptible, that the property, peace and security of no section are to be in anywise endangered by the now incoming administration.
Coincidence? I think not!!! The rapture was imminent 160 years ago! It must have already happened!
He just expressed HIS opinion about these things. The only CZAR around here is the one who keeps criticizing the posts of others and passing judgment on them. Do you recognize that in yourself, Tzaph???
Very clearly not, and for a very long time now very clearly a lost cause. Very simple as that...
That's an opinion of course. Mine and obviously one shared by me and more than a few others, but to the point about evaluating opinions based on their merit, I think this opinion is more than well justified by now.
there is a level of awareness present when someone consciously chooses not to "sh---" on people.
that awareness is lacking in those who freely tell people what they "should" be doing. They are shoulding on others.
