It continues to baffle me that Trump has as good a chance as he does of getting a second term. It is broadly reported today that he is ahead in the polls in the battleground states as he is in the middle of a criminal trial that could get him jail time . https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/us/politic...

Why does political Zionism have a right to set up an apartheid state? FOr the same reason Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, Chinese, Ethiopians and many others have a right to set up a state. The victors of WW2 set up the new national boundaries, as always happens after a war. The victors decided that ...

My perspective is that many Israelites accepted Christ and indeed created what is now the church. They were the first Christians. The unbelievers perished in 70 AD when the temple was destroyed, never to be rebuilt again. The continuation of “Israel” in the church and Christians, going all the way ...

Some would day Jesus didn't proselytize. Au contraire, he put up road blocks to people joining such as urging them to sell all, or leave their families. Instead he discipled. He did however clearly call people to repent. The question could be asked this way: How does carrying out Jesus' "great...

It sounds like Fetterman has mostly recovered. On the issue of supporting Israel, Ben Shapiro has said that Fetterman is one of the biggest surprises in politics recently. Speaking purely politically, I think that one of the best things Biden could do for himself is embrace a few causes such as sup...

I typically don't weigh in on this stuff, but I view this along the same line as the Fetterman fiasco: the democrats are proving to the world they can put anyone anywhere they want and get away with it. It sounds like Fetterman has mostly recovered. On the issue of supporting Israel, Ben Shapiro ha...

Jesus states in Matthew 23:15, Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves. I would like to discuss this curious tendency of the Pharisees that ...
