Troubled
I'm looking at an apparent contradiction between some things Jesus says in the Book of John, using the same Greek word: troubled (ταράσσω) Look particularly at John 12:27: “Now my soul is troubled , and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to thi...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
So I suppose this topic is over then. There are two separate questions here. The first question is whether or not Trump is legally qualified to be a presidential candidate. The Supreme Court did not rule on that question. They simply ruled that State courts are the wrong forum to make that determin...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
MennoNet indeed does look that way if one simply ignores the Politics group, which is, well, where political discussion happens. A forum full of conservative Anabaptists is not a good place to go to find (a) denouncements of your political enemies, and (b) endorsements of your political allies. Act...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
It ain't gonna happen, regardless. A new lawsuit on this same topic probably wouldn't make it to the Supreme Court.

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
The legal standard is ⅔ of the Senate, which wasn't reached. Congress did act, but Trump was found innocent of the charges brought at impeachment. I definitely agree that Trump is eligible and will be on the ballot unless Congress acts. And that they are unlikely to. Two details I disagree with ......

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
As Trump was engaged in insurrection, it behooves Congress to act. I think they should have made that finding after the January 6 impeachment, when a majority of both Houses essentially agreed with that finding. The legal standard is ⅔ of the Senate, which wasn't reached. Congress did act, but Trum...

As Trump was engaged in insurrection, it behooves Congress to act. I think they should have made that finding after the January 6 impeachment, when a majority of both Houses essentially agreed with that finding. I agree with you. But it's moot unless you can convince Mike Johnson to agree with you....

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
Do you think "facts" and arguments can exist in a disconnected fashion? I think that arguments about facts usually come from motives of someone who actually has some other agenda. I think it's good to have everyone's motives laid out on the table and say why they are really arguing for th...
