  It’s Joel 2:32 in verse 13, you’ve followed the cross reference to verse 11 instead.

  Jesus is clearly distinguished from God in the passage, as he is elsewhere in the New Testament. When Paul says, “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved” in verse 13, he has God in mind because he said in verse 9 that “God raised him up”. The focus is on the miracle that God performed in raising Jesus from the dead. It is on that basis that one has faith, will not be disappointed, and in that sense that Jehovah is “Lord over all”. See the commentary on Romans by John Ziesler on this point.

  I see your conspiracy theory, and raise you one better!

  KimMikey make such outlandish claims about LE at times it actually tends to distract from the real issues with his behaviour, the whole “controlled opposition” thing being a case in point. Is it possible that KimMikey is in fact paid opposition to LE? I.e. LE paying KimMikey to make off chart videos about him so we all get disoriented and lose track?
  

  Only joking KimMikey, don’t take it personally! 😃

  (Maybe, in fact, I’m controlled opposition to the controlled opposition to the controlled opposition! If so, when do I get my money?)

  if instead of thailand, he had gone to a place where its legal and (supposedly) has some sort of oversight to prevent exploitation?

  like nevada in the u.s or amsterdam in europe?

  would the being unfaithful part still be a deal breaker as far as supporting his channel?

  Amazing that some people are still surprised that, for as long as LE tries to carry on lying about others and misrepresenting his own actions, then others are going to push back against his lies, his frivolous legal manoeuvres, and point out that his behaviour is incompatible with representing victims.

  Would I still dislike broccoli if it didn’t taste bad?

  Would I still avoid falling over if it didn’t hurt?

  Would I still hate Mondays if they happened on Fridays?

  Would I like football better if it was tennis?

  Those environmentalists making is ‘hard’ for LE to ‘cover them fairly’ remind me of …

  The teammates making it hard for LE to play football with them

  The XJWs making hard for LE to do his important activism work

  His wife making it hard for LE to be faithful to her

  ad infinitum

  So unfortunate for hapless LE to encounter so many people that make it hard for him

  Will Ukraine win?

  i was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.

  seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.

  no guess how it will all end..

  The international crimes of the United States and its partners are on such a huge scale that they don’t bear comparison with any other country, Russia included. We are talking about hostile blockades of nearby countries (Cuba), instigating violent coups against elected leaders (Chile, Venezuela and elsewhere), wars of aggression under false pretences (Iraq), use of military to grab resources of other countries (Iraq, Libya, Syria, elsewhere), interfering in internal affairs of other countries including bombing, funding, military training, agitation, etc. (Serbia, Ukraine, China, and many other countries). The United States president sits down every week (Obama did it on a Tuesday morning) and decides on a list of people to kill with drones in various countries including but not confined to Yemen, Afghanistan, and Somalia. These drones often hit civilians who were not the intended targets including wedding parties and groups of children. It is estimated that a million people died in the war of aggression against Iraq in 2003 alone. The town of Fallujah was hit with depleted uranium weapons and children are still getting sick from the radiation.

  the reality is NATO is not a military force that attacks first.

  That’s actually wrong. It may surprise people to find out (it certainly shocked me) but NATO have a first strike policy for their nuclear arsenal if they believe nuclear war is imminent. They were invited the join a pact that committed to “no first strike” and they refused because they want to keep the option of first strike open. Russia’s policy is no first strike unless they face an “existential threat”.

  Not only does NATO have a first strike policy with nuclear weapons (and lets be real, by NATO we mean the United States, as others have no say in the matter) but some American strategists are now arguing that they can win a nuclear war with Russia if they do strike first.

  So while we are all worrying about the “crazy” Russians starting a nuclear war, are we really sure that the United States won’t “preemptively” strike Russia instead? The US of course is the only nation crazy enough thus far to have used nuclear weapons in war.
