Dear Ellen:
 
Before addressing the questions you raise, could you perhaps help me find where
in the Bible it states that "our government...would [in fact]...conspire to terrorize the populace
into willingly giving up their rights" (or if paraphrased, the passage addressing that subject)?
 
I've searched the Scriptures but have found no reference to such an example.
 
Regards,
 
John Russell

Disintegrated into invisibility.

>And also,  jet fuel cannot heat up to more than 1500 degrees and only if conditions are perfect. Normally it would not get much over >1100. Steel and iron do not begin to melt until at least 2500 degrees, although they may weaken before then.
