All goes back to Abraham. Really all the way back to the Garden, when God told Satan that the Seed of the Woman would destroy him. Ever since then, he's tried to pollute and/or destroy the Seed. Knowing that God said He would one day save the remnant of Israel, if Satan can kill them all...
Our leader’s standards are going to reflect the general standard of its constituents.
Our culture’s moral stature is so low now, we are getting what we are.
I will say this, the genius of our Founding Fathers was not the Constitution or Bill of Rights.
Many Totalitarian states have the same thing. Some have better rights enshrined in their documents.
Their genius was in the separation of powers.
From my Bible reading this morning:
Isaiah...
Solomon said something similar around 1000 years earlier. Well, that the government would be larger. Seems large government and corruption go hand in hand.
Proverbs 28:2 (KJV) For the transgression of a land many [are] the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding [and] knowledge the...
I gathered that…
But if you’re not a “Bible person” why would you throw out a random mis-quoted out of context Bible verse you thought you heard as reason for your argument?
That’s the silliness I’m talking about.
When people reject the Word of God, either deliberately or through ignorance...
You know as well as I do that many make that claim from the same logic.
And an “absolute right to life” is one of those weird beliefs that can pop up without taking God’s Word into account.
There may be some difficult passages to interpret correctly from the Word of God.
But abortion and...
Which precedes the verses I quoted above from Romans 13. See what happens when you put things in context?
Don’t avenge yourself on other. Don’t worry, God will right every wrong eventually. Oh and God also set up Human Government to reward those that do good and recompense those that do evil.
This is what happens when folks reject God’s Word on topics like this.
They start to believe in anything and think being anti-abortion and pro-capital punishment are contradictory.
It’s very simple. Man is created in God’s Image, so they are of inestimable worth. To kill someone made in...
Speaking as one of your Zealots, you are correct.
We’re not going to condone murder under any circumstances, the life of the mother being the exception and only if the baby is not likely to survive.
Unless your mother’s didn’t teach you the same thing, two wrongs don’t make a right.

Semitic has to do with coming from Shem, right?
Like Ham, Shem, and Japheth, Noah’s sons.
Irans are Persians. Come from mostly Japhethic stock.
That’s why there’s such conflict between Sunni and Shiite. Semitic vs Japthetic tribes.
Many Arabs are also Semitic,
as they’re defendants of...
Ok, let’s say there was 51% of the population that was ok with murdering runaway kids.
They’re unwanted. And for whatever reason, the left has redefined runaway kids to no longer being considered humans.
Would you have a moral problem with that?
Would it be ok to vote for people that...
