Re: God Bless the USA" Bibles

your position seems to be that the Christian thing to do is... support un-Christian candidates who explictly set anti-biblical policy. Not at all. I don't think I say anything even remotely like that. I have never said Christians need to support any candidate. In fact, this thread is specifically a...

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

The proper pathway is impeachment and conviction. Trump was impeached but not convicted. The end.

It will probably take the Supreme Court to rebuke lower level courts, judges, and prosecutors attempting to manipulate the 2024 election.

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

When I think of the Trinity at the basic and fundamental level, I don't think of a word, or of technical details, or doctrinal development in explicating it. Like, you don't need to know all those things. I'm willing to discuss and defend the details, but the core of the Trinity is very significant...

I don't know much about them. My statements were generalisations - the more conservative the group, the less comfortable they are with organised sports.

Re: God Bless the USA" Bibles

Sorry, but I don't buy into your "Christian nationalism" conspiracy theory, nor do I think it's somehow worse when Christians support Trump or Republicans versus Christians supporting Bob Dole, George Bush, Obama, or Democrats. The conservative Anabaptist position is that we shouldn't be r...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists

Professional or amateur sports? No plain Anabaptist would be OK with being a professional athlete. Most conservative Anabaptists wouldn't be OK with amateur sports like playing in college or the Olympics. Most (but not quite as many) conservative Anabaptists wouldn't be ok with organised sports at ...

Re: God Bless the USA" Bibles

To many, many Americans this is now what Evangelical means. It is deeply at odds with what the Bible says, no matter how much they love the Bible as a symbol. I think that's the kind of thing that Christians really should discuss. Well, some of us aren't evangelical, but also try to temper our word...

Re: Political office

I'm not sure why you are obsessed with porn in the mail since practically no one consumes porn that way anymore. I'm not. Someone else brought it up. It is simply an example of something Jesus and his followers wouldn't do. But fine, let's use your porn example. Say you have dinner and tip your wai...

Yet that's not what he's being charged with. He's being charged with "falsifying business records" under an arcane statute.

I'm not obsessed with Trump or news about him and thus don't go digging up every example of some MAGA thing I can find. (What's wrong with the idea of making America great, anyway? Should we make America terrible?)
