Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

That is obviously what the trials are for and why we need to hold them. Or do you think that Trump is uniquely above the law? If these “felonies” were so serious perhaps they should have been prosecuted before 2016. So like the movie Minority Report. Use a time machine to see into the future and th...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

But hatred toward another is murdering them in our heart which is always wrong. Hatred is always wrong, because it is murdering them in our heart. But literal, physical, murder is sometimes not wrong. What a strange and confusing thing indeed. I would guess the logic is the State has authority from...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

Or maybe what is dangerous to democracy is nominating a habitual criminal to the highest office in the form of Trump. Who not only does not respect democracy, but seeks to undermine it. Most normal candidates (including every other Republican candidate) don't have any difficulty avoiding committing...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

California has had one party rule for a while, yet infrastructure projects there seem to be very slow and take forever. One of the most notorious examples is the abortive “High Speed Rail” which is billions over budget, years late, and so far only has firm plans to run between Bakersfield and Merce...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

MattY, so why bother being Anabaptist at all, since you keep saying isn’t superior or closer to following Jesus than a typical evangelical with his “Trump Won in 2020” bumper sticker, complete immersion in the world save for a few hours on Sunday morning, and a lifestyle where they lose nearly all o...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

This is very basic separation of powers, Boot. I can't tell what you are agreeing with me or disagreeing with me about. Are you responding to something in what I posted? If so, what? Could you take something specific I said, agree with it or disagree with it, and perhaps explain why? The separation...

Yes, you’ve expounded at length on why the acts of gross violence perpetrated by the north are OK as long as they were for a good cause.

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists

I think I would sell anything I would buy. I'm feeling too lazy right now to think of examples but I suspect there are items I might purchase that are good and right in their proper place but that are misused often enough that I wouldn't want to sell them (not that I would say it's sinful to sell t...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

Both men have major blind spots and dare I say sin areas.

The difference is. Both churches teach against the first man’s sins; but one of the churches doesn’t even teach that the second man’s sins are sins.
