Re: DjT

And furthermore, No, I didn't find Robert's approach to be a role model. Quite the opposite. His approach was unhelpfully partisan and 1-party biased, Goodness gracious. I was unaware that some personal things were happening with Robert when I wrote this, but regardless, I should have stated my dis...

Re: US Attacks Iran 2026

I understand that in a perfect world there would be no war. I’m asking about the world we actually live in. Do you believe there are any actions a government should not take in war, or do you believe anything is permissible if it helps win? Yes, I believe the people in government should not hate or...

Re: Must Christians Avoid Influencing the Government?

Mike, sometimes speaking up on behalf the least of these, whether the unborn or the refugee or the slave or war victim, is perceived by partisans as "trying to influence the government," even when it is simply articulating a Kingdom perspective. When the government is doing something clea...

Re: Iran Protests 2026

Why do the nations rage[a] and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord ho...

Re: Civil War-again?

Regarding another Civil War: No, we are not in a war. But girding up for it and talking as though we are in such a war is a path to more violence and hatred and should be antithetical to a Christian view of politics and of people with different opinions than you. Talking about politics as the moral...

Re: Civil War-again?

Because a soldier goes through boot camp and ICE is up against the enemy every single day. I haven’t heard about a lot of their mistakes but I’ve seen what they are up against and people that join our military get at least 6 weeks solid rigid training. No it doesn’t take Trump admitting it we just ...

Re: Civil War-again?

As he should be if not more time. The speed of which so many were hired for ICE I imagine there will some evil that slips through the cracks. I admit to be clueless to the screening of potential ICE agents. I also believe there should be better training- I doubt there’s any more stressful job on th...

Re: From Romans 1

That’s odd. Romans 1 seems to explicitly list a particular grievous sin which has, in the present day, been a cause of a great deal of church divisions. Particularly specious since the same people who refuse to believe what the Bible says about the abomination of sodomy turn right around and quote ...
