By all sinners. \"He is the illegitimate child.\" \"his mother slept with other men\", etc. They don't believe otherwise than a pregnant woman must be by sleeping with other men, because they do not believe in the power of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain judgements by Jesus because he is God, he knows men's hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John 7:52 No prophet from Galilee, so Jesus is false prophet...another false judgment. They didn't understand Micah 5:2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Pilgrim's Mayflower, until 1776, the Americans were prepared spiritual to deal with the religiously corrupted British and French. The French went as far as to massacre all protestant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freedom of Religion back then means you can freely worship your God. Unlike today's choosing any religions in the world. \"Let my people go\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tong critics false politics, communism, fake democracy, etc. If Biden wins then while world would walk into the lies of communism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>v.2 if you are good to others, God will also be good to you; if you are stingy to others, God will also do likewise to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French Revolution against the Kings were based on hatred, not the God given human rights. The communists way of taking from the rich and giving to the poor is wicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eunice Tong worked at KFC as cashier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tong borrowed David his car while in college, cannot boros bensin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GRII Museum's capital is from STEMI, not the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tong got STEMI USA (not the church) to aid his children's struggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My note: Most sinners complain how God is unfair of His reward; My sinful struggle, for better or worse, is that which despise reward of any form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tong said he gave the one who went to Iraq $4k from his pocket for the mission. I thought it was $400. Perhaps a different person, or inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chinese Sermon:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the ruler is selected by the people, it's like the famous book \"<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Social_Contract\" target=\"_blank\">The Social Contract<\/a>\" by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jean-Jacques_Rousseau\">Jean-Jacques Rousseau<\/a>. The book talked about how when everyone is born the same, but grew up so differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis XIV (The Sun King in France) similar time as Kang Xi in China. Kang Xi is second good emperor. 56 true emperors in China.

TaiZong has a smart wife who advised him to give Wei Zeng promotion instead of getting angry and going to kill Wei Zeng of his criticisms.

How to tell? It's written on thick sack rather than thin ones as done in latter times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second best, Kang Xi, invited international tutors in math, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The West has very few good kings. A very great king but very selfish, Louis XIV, built the greatest palace (Chateau de Versailles) in Europe. (World greatest is in Beijing). Completed based on 45% tax from the people. Tong respected Indonesian presidents' (since Sukarno, etc.) who don't build their palace in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1793, Louis XVI &amp; his queen Marie Antoinette were executed in Place de la Concorde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Communism rule, Russia fell because went against God's will, oppressed the people worse than Tzars. Now the Chinese are doing the same. Now America wants to distinguish Chinese Culture, Government &amp; people. Chinese culture, to be respected, Chinese people are good. So don't like the government, doesn't mean don't love China; Love China doesn't mean to love the Communist Party.
