I agree that a government official (particularly one who is a lawyer) should be held to a very high standard. In contrast, Trump was a private citizen when these alleged offences occurred. I would say I've always found it strange that your mortgage lender and your county auditor don't have to agree ...

I believe the Jews are going to defend themselves and my reference to Revelations is the fact that God has allowed war. I'm not sure what Israel is supposed to do to keep from succumbing to the threats of being wiped off the face of the earth. Jesus told them exactly what to do: lay down arms and f...

I know it is difficult for Anabaptists to see through an OT lens regarding the Jews position and who they are once they were brought back into what they were told by God as their land and they were His people and in their history, they were commanded by God to kill every man woman and child to obta...

From the article you linked to it appears she is guilty of two counts of fairly minor mortgage fraud. Same exact thing as Trump but on a vastly smaller scale. So in a just world she gets her 20 months and Trump for a massively larger scale fraud gets 10x longer sentence and gets out sometime in 203...

From the very beginning you were more critical of Israel than Hamas. I used to work with Israelis and heard their perspective on what they thought of Netanyahu including his role in creating and sustaining Hamas. I think their viewpoints are valid.

Hamas is to blame. They embedded themselves among the civilians, they are to blame and there are many lies being told as well. Hamas started this and purposely put people in harms way. Blame Hamas. Israel is not a terrorist organization. Israel has been bulldozing Palestinian homes since before Ham...

Many people view the Israeli government's actions over the past few decades as also being terrorism. So we have two terrorists fighting each other, Hamas, and the IDF. That's a bad situation. Neither side is justified. What are the acts of "terrorism" Israel is being accused of last coupl...

A cash shakedown for a bored tunnel seems a bit ridiculous. I mean, technically I do own the mineral rights beneath me... but if they build a railroad tunnel underneath my property, I have a difficult time seeing how I'm being harmed. As far as exhaust goes, it can't be much different than the exhau...

Is there a name for governments that require leaders to have a certain level of moral character such as is listed for elders and deacons in the Bible? :lol: In practical terms, most democratic governments don't put requirements on their highest offices of the land due to the problem that... someone...
