You do not believe Yeshua?

He declared his Torah to be for as long as time exists, until Earth and Heaven shall pass.

Torah and the prophets are the word of God that the apostles taught. The New Testament is the record of the apostles evangelizing with the Old testament.

Who are we to designate “dictators” . We have ONE!!

Good point. If the US is in the business of removing evil leaders, they can start with Obama. It's hard to avoid evil percolating to the top of any country's political system. The systems themselves are constructed in a way that soulless, evil, back-stabbing amoral characters have the best chance of making it to the top. Much like organized crime.

I’d be a lot happier if 2ndDivisionVet hadn’t understated this so much.

LOL

The sad part is, both these ignoramuses can pop off some great statements sucking people in. I used to think they were pretty good.

Then when you pay more attention, you find out they are kooks.

Ron used to game the early primaries and the debates, with his idiot backers manipulating the processes and disrupting the events.

We really misunderstood what Islam needs to stay civilized, and that is a strong, quasi-rightist monarchy.

Don't worry — when Jesus returns as the Conquering King, they'll have a Righteous king passing Judgement.

There were no WMD and Iraq had zero to do with the World Trade Center. We actually started bombing with U.N.inspectors on the ground screaming “WE CAN”T FIND THEM!!”

There were WMDs — we know this because we sold Iraq some.
Also, there were many repositories of chemical weapons which we couldn't move [essentially because of Army regulations and their poor state of maintenance] and I heard about warehouses containing yellowcake Uranium when I was deployed over there. (My info is second/third hand; I was involved in detainee ops not supply/ordnance.)

If we had bombed and invaded Saudi Arabia and taken their oil, it would all have made sense because they spawned the death of 3000 Americans. GWB destroyed the chances for a conservative to be elected El Presidente perhaps forever.

GWB wasn't a conservative, and much of his message wasn't conservative either (though it was oft couched in conservative phraseology).

Promises of God don’t go into the dumper. Ever. Or we could never trust them.

Read Romans, which does not “reject the Old Testament after the resurrection” but explains the place of these scriptures.

As if gay would be just fine without that scripture?

(It isn’t. The Noahide commandments forbade adultery, which covers extramarital sexual shenanigans from A to Z. These commandments are the dispositive rules for Christian conduct for the Gentile church; see Acts 15.)

Toppling Sadam did not hurt America at all.

The subsequent ill conceived occupation of Iraq, which many military pundits counseled against was a complete waste with no hope of accomplishing anything.

They are not gay -- they are sodomites. Using that term is what the homosexual lobby wants. Their ways are deviant enough without also destroying the language. It's a shame you bought into their corrosive nomenclature.

A quibble to get around my rebuke of your bad theology?

Call them sodomites, buggerers, homosexual, whatever you want, my statement stands, by the authority of God himself.

Words have meaning. Simple as that. One must reject every aspect of the homosexual agenda. Without exception.

The weapons:
...more than five thousand sarin gas artillery shells
...six thousand gallons of anthrax
...two crude nuclear weapon

located bunker on the Syrian border.

As one war time vet stated:.....“I’ve waited so long for this day,” said Paul Bram, an Iraq War veteran who found himself caught up in the celebrations. “It all makes sense now: I always wondered why I spent a year in Kirkuk trying to keep the Arabs and Kurds from killing each other, but now I can tell my kids it was all about WMD’s!”

And how much more money you wish to borrow from China to attack N. Korea? Have you seen the obscene size of national debt? Or would you prefer we attack Iran first? Do you care a whit about America’s young generation? They already have a debt burden we grown up are passing along to cripple their future.

Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"
I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.

Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.

Rand Paul's immigration speech
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...

Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt's Generals: 'How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?'
Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt's military -- even as Cairo's security forces massacre anti-government activists. [by "anti-government activists" is meant church-burning Christian-murdering jihadists]
