Re: Church Government Models

I know of churches that basically operate as: Direct Democracies Representative Democracies Democratic Republics Totalitarian Democracies Monarchies Autocracies Oligarchies Puppet states In each of the above, it is assumed that Jesus is the head of the church and that the Holy Spirit is working thr...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?

What is the most concerning is how they claimed the stuff with Hunter and Ashley's diary wasn't true, when it actually was. It points to a complete lack of integrity. If they can't tell the truth about something like that, how can they be trusted on anything else? Exactly. Just like the bigger prob...

Re: Is it wrong to use nuclear bombs against civilians?

How do citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven go about getting the kingdoms of the world to stop developing and using nuclear and other bombs against other kingdoms of the world? You can become an advocate like Shane Claiborne and lobby against things like nuclear weapons and the death penalty, while re...

Re: Is it wrong to use nuclear bombs against civilians?

I am not sure why we single out the ethics of using nuclear bombs as opposed to all types of bombs and all other deadly force, but yes, the use of nuclear weapons is, like all other deadly force, wrong and opposed to the teachings and example of Jesus.

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

I find the stereotyping people who support Trump as crazies, violent, and unhinged, reprehensible and disgusting. Democrat and Trump hater, Bennie G. Thompson introduced H.R. 8081. This legislation would reform the U.S. Secret Service’s protective mission by automatically terminating Secret Service...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?

Hunter’s laptop and now Ashley Biden’s diary. Both were denied as being authentic, but turned out to be true. There are many people who have observed Joe Biden’s Pedophile type behaviors over the years. He seems to have a penchant for being real handsy and sniffing underage girls. Now it appears he...

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

Yes, that is really what is going on. By attacking witnesses, Trump is deliberately painting targets on their backs. Knowing that they will receive endless death threats and harassment by Trump crazies. Which is exactly what has happened. Trump has an enormous megaphone and lots of violent and unhi...

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

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...
