Wow! that is interesting: Do you have scriptorial support for your belief?

Default A New World Order

A New World Order may not be what we need
-but what is needed is leaders who will listen to the other side and not say "my way or the highway."
Dialogue is better than confrontation.
Working together with our allies in Europe is a good thing.
-going it alone-does not always work.

I am hopeful that the next 4-8 years will be better than the last 8.

Wow. Funny how so many people seem to think that some sort of bigger government will somehow magically make things better.

And just how stupid do you have to be to believe this in the face of mankind's entire history? No government has ever proven itself able to meet the needs of it's citizens, despite continued growth in the size and scope of the government.

If you think things are bad now, imagine just how awful they will be when there's only one government in charge.

Besides, the US president-elect will be no more capable of making substantive, effective, and appropriate change than any other single person.

Now, if I had scriptural support for my belief, then I wouldn't need to use the words I believe, Instead, I could use the words I know.

Look at how just a few days after the election, world leaders and even US leaders have coalesced behind him. Even Palin and Bush are not only publicly 100% behind him, but have also seemingly joined his fan club. If there is any leader right now who could bring the world together, then it's Obama.

Personally, I am suspicious about the change he wants to bring about. But you know what? I am very open to the idea that I am dead wrong. Truthfully, I wish I didn't have my suspicions about him because most of what he says is great stuff and it's hard not to be amazed by what he has to say.

As a convert, I didn't start with a scripture support but what relied on someone else’s statement in using Moroni’s statement and literally believe it until it was answered.

As I stated, I did start my conversion by using the Book of Mormon but asked whether or not, this was His church and that Joseph Smith was chosen by Him. Strange though, how today, we pray over a book versus using what Joseph did to obtain an answer. We need to have faith in ourselves and pressed the Savior for an answer that we can understand clearly.

Now, I do believe the AC will need the support of the U.N. and most be accepted by them to a point they can trust him to allow his rule over the global financial and widespread outbreak of wars. Also, he will need to control the global monetary membership, which is called the G8, or should I say, the G7, since Russia fell out of favor. Expect this group become in the last days the G10. Look again at the number and this may aid someone here with a key of understanding. As I believe, there maybe a call of 24-prophets before the return of the Savior since this is a unique pattern already talked about by a former prophet. Now, is this a flight of fantasy? Perhaps! Yet, something to watch and wait to prove my point. As I truly believe this man, AC, must be charismatic enough to sway not only the world [80 to 90-percent] but LDS members in believing him. Now, hopefully I am wrong in what I stated and allow more time for souls to be saved.
