climber7 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 10 hours ago, jcfrag said: well even Christ wasn't perfect Okay, this needs to be addressed because Jesus, and Who He is, is more important than the RV or anything else in creation. First, I want to be clear I'm NOT writing or coming from a place of anger or confrontation. I'm writing this from a place of peace and concern, so please don't take offense or think I'm starting an argument here..... A statement made like this needs to be addressed because of the enormous error in it. First, I would ask, have you even researched Jesus and the Bible yourself? Not going on what anyone else said? Do you understand the historical FACTS and proof of His life and miracles? Secondly, do you believe in God and that He is not only caring about us but actually loves us more than we can comprehend? Thirdly, if you had a plan to rescue someone you loved so completely you would sacrifice your only child for them unless you 'knew' that your plan was fool proof and perfect? The thing is......after you understand the answers to those questions you come to understand that God not only created everyone and everything in creation and the universe, but had a plan to redeem and sustain it. His plan was through the PERFECT life of Christ. If Jesus was not perfect then God, and Jesus, made a HUGE mistake and WASTED His life.......for nothing. Jesus suffered (historically) a gruesome and horrific death for nothing--if He wasn't perfect. Just give a few moments pause to reflect on the weight of that. So, to say He wasn't perfect is a huge slap in the face to God and to Jesus for the love and sacrifice He made for YOU and for the world. Another thing to think about is if He wasn't perfect then not only did His, and God's, plans fail miserably, but He couldn't have changed the world the way He has over thousands of years and would never have so many followers over so many centuries. Last thoughts....the most important thing in the entire world is God/Jesus Himself and your relationship and feelings, thoughts, ideas about Him. All else is secondary--and small potatoes. Why? Because first, why wouldn't we want to know the One Who created you and has nothing but good in store for you and a plan and purpose for creating you? That would be the same as desperately wanting a child, having a child, lavishing that child with good things, and having that child slap you in the face with disdain, disrespect, ignorance, and selfishness and want nothing to do with you in return. it wouldn't be YOUR fault. It would be the fault/sin in the heart of the child who would make such a statement much like the one you made saying "He wasn't perfect". Just want to throw this out there that even though you may still believe that---while I'm sure it stings Him--He STILL loves you and has a plan for good for you but you'll never realize or have it because you choose to not accept Him, and all that He is (perfect). Peace and blessings to everyone one here and may God bless us with wealth and prosperity to do good with it for others. 13 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synopsis Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Here is a copy and paste of the TLHuber link - Thank You TLHuber! Publicat Well, OK, a long post so you may want to jump to the bottom where the Article IV stuff is (for my Canadian Friends - Sorry! (for the long post )) IMF Executive Board Calendar Archive Schedule of Press Briefings and Speeches by Senior IMF Officials IMF Seminars, Conferences, Workshops and Economic Forums Work Program of the Executive Board Members Quotas Shares, Governors, and Voting Power Executive Directors and Voting Power Senior Officials Organization Articles of Agreement IMF at a Glance A Factsheet IMF Executive Board Calendar As part of the Fund's increased transparency, the tentative calendar of the formal meetings and seminars of the Executive Board for the next seven days is shown below. Please note that the calendar is subject to change, and that the agenda for each meeting is typically finalized the day before the meeting. The calendar posted below contains the latest available information. An IMF Executive Board Calendar Archive is also available.

I am not sure if Great Britain (with the GBP) and the European Union (with the EURO) have as well gone through this "2017 Article IV Consultation" since the USD (nominally 40%), Euro (nominally 30%), GBP (nominally 10%), JPY (nominally 10%), and CNY (nominally 10%) make up the SDR (Special Drawing Rights) basket of reserve currencies. So Iraq is also going through the "2017 Article IV Consultation" and "Second Review Under the Stand-By Arrangement" so I wonder what implications this has on the timing and magnitude for what we are waiting for.

Here is the copy and paste after hitting the "+" on the top right of the Article IV section (I put some bolding and red text for items I think are interesting): Article IV: Obligations Regarding Exchange Arrangements1. General obligations of members 2. General exchange arrangements 3. Surveillance over exchange arrangements 4. Par values 5. Separate currencies within a member's territories Section 1. General obligations of members Recognizing that the essential purpose of the international monetary system is to provide a framework that facilitates the exchange of goods, services, and capital among countries, and that sustains sound economic growth, and that a principal objective is the continuing development of the orderly underlying conditions that are necessary for financial and economic stability, each member undertakes to collaborate with the Fund and other members to assure orderly exchange arrangements and to promote a stable system of exchange rates. In particular, each member shall: (i) endeavor to direct its economic and financial policies toward the objective of fostering orderly economic growth with reasonable price stability, with due regard to its circumstances; (ii) seek to promote stability by fostering orderly underlying economic and financial conditions and a monetary system that does not tend to produce erratic disruptions; (iii) avoid manipulating exchange rates or the international monetary system in order to prevent effective balance of payments adjustment or to gain an unfair competitive advantage over other members; and (iv) follow exchange policies compatible with the undertakings under this Section. Section 2. General exchange arrangements (a) Each member shall notify the Fund, within thirty days after the date of the second amendment of this Agreement (my note - maybe second review of the Stand By Agreement?), of the exchange arrangements it intends to apply in fulfillment of its obligations under Section 1 of this Article, and shall notify the Fund promptly of any changes in its exchange arrangements. (b) Under an international monetary system of the kind prevailing on January 1, 1976, exchange arrangements may include (i) the maintenance by a member of a value for its currency in terms of the special drawing right or another denominator, other than gold, selected by the member, or (ii) cooperative arrangements by which members maintain the value of their currencies in relation to the value of the currency or currencies of other members, or (iii) other exchange arrangements of a member's choice. (c) To accord with the development of the international monetary system, the Fund, by an eighty-five percent majority of the total voting power, may make provision for general exchange arrangements without limiting the right of members to have exchange arrangements of their choice consistent with the purposes of the Fund and the obligations under Section 1 of this Article. (my note - the US has, if I am not mistaken, the 85% plus weight in the IMF for this vote) Section 3. Surveillance over exchange arrangements (a) The Fund shall oversee the international monetary system in order to ensure its effective operation, and shall oversee the compliance of each member with its obligations under Section 1 of this Article. (b) In order to fulfill its functions under (a) above, the Fund shall exercise firm surveillance over the exchange rate policies of members, and shall adopt specific principles for the guidance of all members with respect to those policies. Each member shall provide the Fund with the information necessary for such surveillance, and, when requested by the Fund, shall consult with it on the member's exchange rate policies. The principles adopted by the Fund shall be consistent with cooperative arrangements by which members maintain the value of their currencies in relation to the value of the currency or currencies of other members, as well as with other exchange arrangements of a member's choice consistent with the purposes of the Fund and Section 1 of this Article. (my note - maybe the reason at least the US, Japan, and China underwent the same Arlticle IV review prior to Iraq?) These principles shall respect the domestic social and political policies of members, and in applying these principles the Fund shall pay due regard to the circumstances of members. Section 4. Par values The Fund may determine, by an eighty-five percent majority of the total voting power, that international economic conditions permit the introduction of a widespread system of exchange arrangements based on stable but adjustable par values. (my note - here again the US may have the entire weight of vetoing or allowing this to go through with 85% weight in the IMF voting) The Fund shall make the determination on the basis of the underlying stability of the world economy (my note - interesting comment on how Iraq's economy may tie into and influence the world economy), and for this purpose shall take into account price movements and rates of expansion in the economies of members. The determination shall be made in light of the evolution of the international monetary system, with particular reference to sources of liquidity, and, in order to ensure the effective operation of a system of par values, to arrangements under which both members in surplus and members in deficit in their balances of payments take prompt, effective, and symmetrical action to achieve adjustment, as well as to arrangements for intervention and the treatment of imbalances. Upon making such determination, the Fund shall notify members that the provisions of Schedule C apply. Section 5. Separate currencies within a member’s territories (a) Action by a member with respect to its currency under this Article shall be deemed to apply to the separate currencies of all territories in respect of which the member has accepted this Agreement under Article XXXI (my note - maybe this is why it is so important to keep Kurdistan untied with the rest of Iraq?), Section 2(g) unless the member declares that its action relates either to the metropolitan currency alone, or only to one or more specified separate currencies, or to the metropolitan currency and one or more specified separate currencies. (b) Action by the Fund under this Article shall be deemed to relate to all currencies of a member referred to in (a) above unless the Fund declares otherwise. OK, Folks and All Of DV - Enjoy Your Sunday! By all means, have at this article with all your comments and I would like to get your input on my highlights in the Article IV content as well since this appears to be very, very Good News. And OH, YEAH, BABY......................................... Go Moola Nova! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEPatriotsFan1 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Wow! Thanks TlHuber for bringing and Synopsis for dissecting it and trying to help us make sense of it! I really appreciate it.... my take away from this is that The IMF is serious about Iraq and they are gettting all the Ducks in a row.... I believe we will see something change this year, based on the fact that these types of articles are being put out and are now in the forefront of discussion. The liberation of Mosul was a key ISIS stronghold and now they have enough security and stability it seems to begin advancing the economy and the Big Boys are showing they have serious plans for this middle eastern potential powerhouse and engine of growth! 🤞 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealthhound Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Mr. Unlikely , I beg your pardon but the Bible ( God) it is a capital G by the way. Biblically a small g refers to the devil, the god of this world. 3 John2 ( my favorite verse) reads: "Above all, I wish that though mayest prosper, and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth". If anyone is to prosper. God's children deserve to do so..why? because they are the ones that will bless others with it. In the old testament there are many accounts of God's people having wealth..Job for one..lost everything then got it multiplied back many times. Perhaps you are referring to the LOVE of money...that's not Godly, it has to do with one's motive around the wealth. As God's people prosper they are a great witness of prosperity and abundance.

climber7 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 1 hour ago, mr.unlikely said: PS anyone who prays to god for money, needs to go back and reread the Bible. Just a couple respectful remarks..... If you actually read the entire Bible, understood it, and more importantly know the true heart of God--you would know better and not believe the things you wrote. There are countless Scriptures explaining that God wants us to prosper. i.e. "God delights in the prosperity of His servants/children" "It is God who gives us power to get wealth" "For those who fear (revere) God, wealth and riches will be in his house" I could go on and on and on...... What the Bible DOES say is it's the LOVE of money that's the root of all evil. (putting money above your love for Him and others) Basically we need to start at the true heart of God (Who I pray you genuinely pursue and get to know personally), and work back from there. Ask yourself this......why would a loving God put His own child through a tortuous and horrific death to pay the price WE owed, only for us to live in poverty and squalor? Doesn't make sense does it? The thing is.....He only denies us what He knows will eventually harm or kill us. Are you a parent? Do you know any kids you love? Would you give them the keys to a vehicle before they're ready to drive or could handle the power of a Harley Davidson? Would you toss a 10 year old on Harley and say "there you go--take off"......? No, because you know they're not ready and would only hurt or kill themselves. It's so simple with God because He's the same with us but only loves us more than we love ourselves. We want what we want and when we want it and that includes wealth. Whether it comes from this RV we want so bad or from another form. That's why He says.....seek Him first....so that He can bless us with good things and prepare us for them so we don't get hurt by them. Grace and peace to everyone..... and wealth to help others. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miamiheatnic Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I agree. There's nothing wrong with asking our Heavenly Father for help financially. For a financial blessing that will reap from sowing into this. We don't LOVE money. We only pray for the financial blessing that he has in store for us. He only says you can't love both God and money....I don't love money and never will. But there is nothing wrong with praying for a financial blessing. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First dog I ever got ran out in the street and got hit by a car. That was within one month of having it. Second dog was foaming at the mouth. Distemper. Had to put it down. Again in one month. Third dog was not weaned properly and died within...you guessed it... a month! My father said that was strike three and I was out. Then living in apartments all of my life that never allowed a dog. I am dog crazy right now! I have always wanted one longer than...a month. Well I am a dog monitor. My son returned from college with a dog, huskey named Helo. He needed a buddy because he was biting my wife ankles. Wife gets huskey, Heidi as a rescue dog. Since a I am up first in the morning I take them out. When I get home from work I take them out. They see me as the exercise buddy. I do enjoy them but we need a yard for them to run around in. When this hits I am going to do something with Vets and dogs. When I lost my job in 2008 I took one in retail. I never met such a nasty intitled group. It made me embarrassed to say I was an American. The best thing was those dogs. Everyday when I got home they where there to meet me, love those dogs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
