I am having a hard time trying to get my hands around his optimistic, pro Israel, pure conservative world view. He knows his economics. I even suspect he is a Christian. You both are leery of conspiracies. You both do not have approval needs. You both can respond in reasoned paragraphs in a few minutes. (This post has taken me about 20 minutes or so to write already)
Star Traveler I do not think you or I have discussed economics. I am not an expert. I would appreciate reading a discussion of JasonC's position with your wisdom involved. Do not get bogged down in economic theory. I am more interested if JasonC's world view is in line with our standard, God's Word. To me the issue is where do we put our faith.

You're right, we haven't discussed economics, basically because I hardly ever get into that area. I mean, I might talk about balancing a checkbook or that it's a good idea to have a good job if you want to make a good living, but aside from that... not much... LOL...
And then you were saying...

Well, the best place to start with that one is with JasonC... :-)
I mean..., if anyone knows what I think about the Bible, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, about Israel, about Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, about Biblical prophecy -- it's only because I've posted on it so much.
And, of course, I think there are absolutes in those things..., but others don't think so, as we can so well see on Free Republic, many times in many threads. So, it wouldn't be unusual to find someone disagreeing with what the Bible says on these things -- or -- even disagreeing that the Bible should even be considered as authoritative on these things (not saying that's my position, but that others say that the Bible is not authoritative on these things...).
So perhaps you can engage JasonC on the Bible being authoritative (or not) or inerrant/infallible in all that it says and/or teaches about.
