Robert,
Thank you for that excellent minimized summary of the situation. You're
right, who is counting? (In my book the two equate... on the bottom line,
anyway. They still result in the same act.)
Yes, God is not happy with the continued following of and worshipping of
other gods. This action on the part of Hosea was also symbollic and type
for the last days, when the habits of most show to have lost their sense of
direction and who follow after strange gods, strange flesh, and other
doctrinal "philosophies" that are directly contrary and replaced in the
stead of the Covenant that God has made with Israel from generation to
generation to the end of this earth age.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
