Los de Kiribati también se manifestaron.
Se están quedando literalmente sin tierra y nadie les hace ni puto
caso ...
Si el calentamiento global es tan importante como sus proponentes nos hacen
creer, no se ve muy bien porqué excluyen a esta gente. Acaso no es que es
bueno el multiculturalismo?

SECTION I. A General Introductory Statement
The people of the country, in general, I suppose, are as sober, orderly,
and good sort of people, as in any part of New England; and I believe
they have been preserved the freest by far of any part of the country,
from error, and variety of sects and opinions. Our being so far within
the land, at a distance from sea-ports, and in a corner of the country,
has doubtless been one reason why we have not been so much corrupted
with vice, as most other parts. But without question, the religion and
good order of the county, and purity in doctrine, has, under God, been
very much owing to the great abilities, and eminent piety of my
venerable and honored grandfather Stoddard. I suppose we have been the
freest of any part of the land from unhappy divisions and quarrels in
our ecclesiastical and religious affairs, t
The whole course of things must have for its object the establishment and
the greatness of religion. Men must have within them feelings suited to what
religion teaches us. And, finally, religion must so be the object and the
centre to which all things tend that whoever knows the principles of
religion can give an explanation both of the whole nature of man in
particular and of the whole course of the world in general.
And on this ground they take occasion to revile the Christian religion,
because they misunderstand it. They imagine that it consists simply in the
worship of a God considered as great, powerful, and eternal; which is
strictly deism, almost as far removed from the Christian religion as
atheism, which is its exact opposite. And thence they conclude that this
religion is not true, because they do not see that all things concur to the
establishment of this point, that God does not manifest Himself to men with
all the evidence which He could show.
But let them conclude what they will against deism, they will conclude
nothing against the Christian religion, which properly consists in the
mystery of the Redeemer, who, uniting in Himself the two natures, human and
divine, has redeemed men from the corruption of sin in order to reconcile
them in His divine person to God.
The Christian religion
As what other towns heard of and found in this,
"Know therefore, and understand, that, from the going forth of the
commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince,
shall be seven weeks, and three score and two weeks." (The Hebrews were
accustomed to divide numbers, and to place the small first. Thus, 7 and 62
make 69. Of this 70 there will then remain the 70th, that is to say, the 7
last years of which he will speak next.)
"The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And
after three score and two weeks," (which have followed the first seven.
Christ will then be killed after the sixty-nine weeks, that is to say, in
the last week), "the Christ shall be cut off, and a people of the prince
that shal
The ungodly.--No sign has ever happened on the part of the devil without a
stronger sign on the part of God, or even without it having been foretold
that such would happen.
852. Unjust persecutors of those whom God visibly protects. If they reproach
you with your excesses, "they speak as the heretics." If they say that the
grace of Jesus Christ distinguishes us, "they are heretics." If they do
miracles, "it is the mark of their heresy."
Ezekiel. They say: These are the people of God who speak thus.
It is said, "Believe in the Church"; but it is not said, "Believe in
miracles"; because the last is natural, and not the first. The one had need
of a precept, not the other. Hezekiah.
The synagogue was only a type, and thus it did not perish; and it was only a
type, and so it is decayed. It was a type which contained the truth, and
thus it has lasted until it no longer contained the truth.
My reverend father, all this happened in types. Other religions perish; this
one perishes not.
Miracles are more important than you think. They have served for the
foundation, and will serve for the continuation of the Church till
Antichrist, till the end.
The two witnesses.
In all this I am not talking of Christian kings as Christians, but only as
kings.
143. Diversion.--Men are entrusted from infancy with the care of their
honour, their property, their friends, and even with the property and the
honour of their friends. They are overwhelmed with business, with the study
of languages, and with physical exercise; and they are made to understand
that they cannot be happy unless their health, their honour, their fortune
and that of their friends be in good condition, and that a single thing
wanting will make them unhappy. Thus they are given cares and business which
make them bustle about from break of day. It is, you will exclaim, a strange
way to make them happy! What more could be done to make them
miserable?--Indeed! what could be done? We should only have to relieve them
from
This work seemed to be at its greatest height in this town in the former
part of the spring, in March and April. At that time God's work in the
conversion of souls was carried on amongst us in so wonderful a manner,
that, so far as I can judge, it appears to have been at the rate at
least of four persons in a day; or near thirty in a week, take one with
another, for five or six weeks together. When God in so remarkable a
manner took the work into His own hands, there was as much done in a day
or two, as at ordinary times, with all endeavors that men can use, and
with such a blessing as we commonly have, is done in a year.
I am very sensible, how apt many would be, if they should see the
account I have here given, presently to think with themselves that I am
very fond of making a great many converts, and of magnifying the matter;
and to think that for want of judgment, I take every religious pang, and
enthusiastic conceit, for saving conversion. I do not much wonder if
they should be apt to think so; and, for this reason, I have forborne to
publish an account of this great work of God, though I have often been
solicited. But h
748. In the time of the Messiah the people divided themselves. The spiritual
embraced the Messiah, and the coarser-minded remained to serve as witnesses
of Him.
749. "If this was clearly foretold to the Jews, how did they not believe it,
or why were they not destroyed for resisting a fact so clear?"
I reply: in the first place, it was foretold both that they would not
believe a thing so clear and that they would not be destroyed. And nothing
is more to the glory of the Messiah; for it was not enough that there should
be prophets; their prophets must be kept above suspicion. Now, etc.
750. If the Jews had all been converted by Jesus Christ, we should have none
but questionable witnesses. And if they had been entirely destroyed, we
should have no witnesses at all.
751. What do the prop
314. God has created all for Himself. He has bestowed upon Himself the power
of pain and pleasure.
You can apply it to God, or to yourself. If to God, the Gospel is the rule.
If to yourself, you will take the place of God. As God is surrounded by
persons full of charity, who ask of Him the blessings of charity that are in
His power, so... recognise, then, and learn that you are only a king of
lust, and take the ways of lust.
315. The reason of effects.--It is wonderful that men would not have me
honour a man clothed in brocade and followed by seven or eight lackeys! Why!
He will have me thrashed, if I do not salute him. This custom is a farce. It
is the same with a horse in fine trappings in comparison with another!
Montaigne is a fool not to see what difference there is, to wonder at our
finding any, and to ask the reason. "Indeed," says he, "how comes it,"
etc....
316. Sound opinions of the people.--To be spruce is not altogether foolish,
for it proves that a great number of people work for one. It
