Gotta be a better term than just “private equity”. I find it hard to be against those two simple words but then the people they represent nowadays make me sick. All politicians are criminals by definition… Larkin Rose gets more and more of my attention on these matters because of all that corruption.

I clicked and survived but appreciate the heads up, looks like a good resource despite that 
We may need to update Oxford to make it official but I won’t argue, I’ve only become aware of LBJ’s political history recently, even today hearing someone quote him as saying
“I want that goddamned ship on the ocean floor”
concerning
I found a lot of variations to the story, but bottom line, as you say, he was a politician, and it seems responsible for JFK’s assassination.

At 18 I was recruited to train Mujahadeen and Contras, cia was in charge from what I saw. Years later when Gary Webb is suicided and I have watched the politicians at the hearings avoid any question that might expose the truth I gain a clear perspective on the actual depths of depravity they approve of in the name of national security… and all their friends getting rich.
I don’t think Ron Paul is a criminal but then I never would call him a politician, he could never make anything happen standing on principle… might be one or two more I would put in that category, neither D.J. or BB need worry of making that short list.

I think private equity owners ruin everything. Heck I hate Walmart .
Rumor has it that a new mega 2 story Walmart is being constructed ..
Bottom floor will be like every other walmart plus sell insurance, cars ,have a hospital and eye care, and grocery store and many other things.
Top floor will be the office of the Antichrist.
Eventually all commerce will be tied up together and that my friends is NOT good. Who knows the owner of Walmart may be the next Monetary ruler of the world

No and who ever is teaching its total malarkey ,
The Jews are still the Jews, be it that you or anyone else views them as wayward the fact remains God never breaks a promise and they are the children of the Promise of Abraham.
As a Christian speaking Christian Dognma ie…
We Gentiles who have come to Christ are merely a grafted in branch . We do not nor shall we ever "root them out " so to speak and replace tbe Jews as “new or replacement Jews”
That viewpoint is seriously flawed.

Is it?
I wish I had noted the day to re-watch, it was not the subject matter so went by pretty quick, but think on it, the roots are the same
no doubt, and not all Jews would by this general description become gentiles, but only those who do not believe, they would be broken off branches
Aren’t we all saved only by Jesus?
If there is no faith then there is no salvation, correct?
I admit, this is difficult, most things in scripture are, but, Israel, as it stands now, is it part of or separated from the kingdom?
Isn’t Jesus the new covenant?
No, He does not, but men do
And if His covenant is Jesus, and some Jews deny He came, do they not reject the new covenant?
So, all of Israel, meaning all Jews, or, all who accept the new covenant?
Area all Jews even Jews?
Is the “legal” “State” of Israel the Israel in the bible or, does Israel represent a much larger nation of people?
I have nothing else to offer except I heard it said, it pinged my interest but was over quick, I’ve not done any more study on this as and don’t present this for any purpose except to be thought provoking, we each must work out our own salvation
They are still a part because of the Promise , Promises of God are immutable. Unchanging
He is the changless one.
The may be broken off but will placed back to position according to Ezekiel 38
So Gog and Magog will go down and this is Prophetic scripture that directly lines with Revelation and even mentions it taking 7months to bury the dead and the beast and fowl of the air eating those armies flesh . This is the battle of Armageddon

Print may be small so look it up and read that super interesting. They will be restored .
It isnt smart wise or prudent for ANY christian to go against Israel in any way whatsoever.

A few commentators have eluded the same, that Christianity is now Israel using Ezekiel 38
Jews can be Christian, but are things so black and white to assume more, including what it means to be Christian?

The Church is the redeemed in Christ Jesus . The Jews are the chosen people of promise. The Church does not become Israel nor does the whole of israel become the Church. They are turned by God through horrific suffering and implanted love .
[24] For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. [25] Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. [26] A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. [27] And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. [28] And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Ezekiel 36 : 24-28
We come to God through Christ in faith believing.
God chose Israel and He came to them .
So for Jealousy and God will make them love him again. The will once again be his peoples though scattered now they wilk be brought back from all over the world and made to love him.

This is a helpful discussion
Sounds like baptism, which even Jesus did, and who is Jesus but the heir right?
He received all things
And you must accept the Son to become new, all things are new
Jesus established the church, Jesus is the root of Israel, is that not correct?
So, He was, and forever is but made all things new, so He made the church, i.e. was Israel, but through Him the church is now Israel, a new thing, a new covenant, through His blood sacrifice
So this should be revisited IMO
As should what it means to be in the church, as Satan seeks to destroy it and in my view has done a wonderful job to lead people out of it, a lot of people.
We need to witness to Jews the love and gift of Jesus so they may be baptized and
We all become one new body (church/bride) and
without that
But again, what is the true church?
children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness
What have those children missed?
Were they lead astray?
I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel
That officer knew, the boss says it, it gets done, he knew authority.
The largest obstacle to receiving authority is pride, it then, as an obstacle, needs to be obeyed
with diligence
I believe a key word
That Roman officer would have worshiped Jupiter before his faith in Christ
A compound word Latin Iupeter
I’ll leave that for any to study, diligently.
the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness
Yes and the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the throne of David was promised to hhabe a continual heir to the throme Jesus was from the direct lineage of David and has that rightful place on the throne after all things are completed.
Not the New Israel , Just the Bride of Christ.
We are the grafted in Branch of Israel.
The reason Israel is called Gods Chosen people us because they were chosen to evangelize the world to spread the message of God and set up a kingdom on Earth . But they did not do that.
Which God in his omniscience knew what would happen and had Jesus to become the sacrifice for the Sin of the entire world allowing any and all who would come to be the new Evangelist now the message Jesus Saves.
Jesus name is literally translated to God Saves.
The name Joshua is also derived from the same root Hebrew words.
Yes Saved and Baptized . Remember the Eunich and Phillip the Eunich in Acts 8 wanted to be baptized but Phillip first ask if He believed . When He confessed that He did Phillip commanded the chariot to stop and baptized Candices Eunich . Salvation through Faith then baptism. To be Baptized as a mere rote meaningless practice does not thereby cover ones transgressions.
Yes which means stone.
Which was his birth name .

We’re all entitled to our own reaction and review, before discovering newer music Steppenwolf ranked at the top of my favorites, this guy is reacting and reviewing outside what I’d expect his genre to be and I doubt he understands what he says, but I give him credit and can see he has some soul.

This is confusing, so, lets pull the string
My normal go to for posting reads as you say
And a Greek interpretation site reads
How about my 1611?
One of the things I love about the 1611 are the interpreter notes, there are five types, one is
A || symbol was used to express another way in which the underlying Hebrew could be translated.
here || indicates Peter, the interpreters being sure to include alternates, which was diligent, there was uncertainty, its up to the reader to choose, one famous example and somewhat related is
The famous phrase “rock of ages” is not found in the text of the KJV, but rather in the margin note at Isaiah 26:4
So, bottom line?
Heaven help a Jupiter’s child

Alright, back to private equity. I read this news article, which I find concerning:
Imagine a private equity firm raiding and wasting your 401(k) you worked so hard after so many years to save up for your eventual retirement.
