This guy is just an effeminate, fake intellectual sitting in an office entirely disconnected from reality. Of course this pussy would come up with stuff like this.

He would have criticized Moses for taking a hard stance and told the Israelites it was their duty to work harder producing more bricks with less straw!

Although this is not specifically mentioned in the Bible, there are examples of "believers" proclaiming such obedience to evil in the Old and New Testament. I would be surprised if such naysayers weren't saying just that to Moses in his day.

Christians, and Jews especially, are always the targets in the crosshairs in other faiths, especially atheism which I liken more to an anti-Christian faith than a non-faith stance. Atheist's seem absolutely fixated on Christianity and gives a cold shoulder to other religions in the world. When cornered, I hear that "it's only because Christians hold all of the power" as their argument for this bias. As a student of Marxism, I know this to be a Marxist argument against religion, especially Christianity and Judaism; (grossly paraphrasing here:) They don't walk away from their faith easily and are too willing to die for their belief, so the state should eliminate them society for the good of the Collective lest they pollute the minds of the people with their poisonous belief. Only then can society move onward toward Communism.

God spoke of this in the Bible and warned Jews first then later Christians that we would be persecuted for our faith and told us to stand fast and with him for we would be saved in our faith. You know, Blessed are the Martyrs.

In reality not all Atheists want to kill Christians; many just want to believe in themselves and not be subservient to some form of God. I respect that, but also respectfully disagree with their choice of faithlessness, but never would I try to forcefully convert them to the faith neither would I expect them to do likewise. That is free will and in my believe one of the gifts given to us by God. Unfortunately too many atheists believe that we Christians and our Jewish kin must perish because we somehow get in the way of their vision of a perfect society. That is where the focus of their hate becomes clear and where their recruitment of new followers takes a dark turn. That is where we faithful need to guard ourselves and each other and not "turn the cheek" like we should do from those whom respect our freedom.

In short, my point is forgive those whom forgive us and destroy those whom would destroy us.

The Pope represents a fraction of the collective Christian faith and is not a good argument to try and condemn Christianity.

I'm not condemning Christianity, I'm just saying believing in God doesn't inoculate one from collectivism.

“calling down divine judgment on those who allegedly committed voter fraud.”

He needs to remove “allegedly” Most Christians are calling for judgment on just those who did not those who didn’t.

You need a little sense of humor for this post...but I just got a call today...from a wealthy (somewhat distant very wealthy relative) who is convinced Biden will be the next President.

I was smart enough to keep my mouth shut (Thank God for giving me the wisdom to do that...you will see why in a minute).

He is terrified of a huge increase in the inheritance tax, so he has decided to write me a significant check before the year is out, since he believes even distant relatives are a better use of his excess funds than .gov.

So—we thank God for that. :-)

Hopefully he will send the money _before_ he figures out the President is going to get this done.... :-)

Then I will have the money (that I probably _never_ would have gotten) plus my President for four more years!

Point taken, however the Constitution does inoculate us from Collectivism, and when that fails, the force of our partocratic resolve must suffice. Collectivism = Slavery. Any true atheist should be vehemently against slavery based on their belief in themselves.

“Our national sin is abortion.”

Your list is really too short. Homosexuality, fornication, along with others. 40% of the kids born are out of wedlock.

And I realize I took your use of Collectivism out of context. In that context, my “flavor” of Christianity does inoculate me from the Papacy since I reject it outright. Using your logic in this context equates that my being a member of the human race does not inoculate me from the actions of the criminal members of the same race, thus I am just as culpable when they commit a crime. If that was true, then we all deserve to be in prison or worse. That is a non-starter.

We might be a little light in the artillery department and might have to settle for simply accurate rifle fire.

Gun up. Mag up. Gut up.

It is. But I am focusing on one the God calls an abomination. The murder of the innocent.

In the fwiw department, I only got two cheeks.

The Good Book says to expel the evildoer from among you.

Day after day I will destroy
the wicked in our land;
I will expel all who are evil
from the city of the LORD.
Psalms 101:9

This is why God commanded the Israelites to kill all the Canaanites, without mercy. It was their sacrificing of children to Moloch.

You are right. Also in Leviticus 20:2-5.

No, there is an easier way. Trump and his supporters support Israel. Biden and his supporters are for Israel’s enemies. Further more Trump has blessed Israel tremendously. So much that the nation Israel sees him as a Cyrus (that’s a small ‘m’ messiah). Pray that God keeps his promises, to bless those that bless Israel and to curse those that curse Israel.

Amen. I was praying the other day about all of this. A voice in my soul told me God was in control, and to read Isaiah 45.

Mercy is for the victor or the believer dealing with the repentant.

We have no victory and certainly no repentance.

These are the people feeding children into abortion mills and the Moloch of transgender mutilation.

Well, let’s think about it. Where would we be if in 1775 everyone had said: “well we have all these grievances and the King has refused to hear our petitions, we had better pray for King George’s soul and light some candles for him”? Would those Christians have succeeded in decreasing or increasing the suffering in this world over the next couple centuries if they took that position?

He’s letting the mask slip a bit, isn’t he?

I prayed for eight long years for Barack Obama to know the truth and come to the Lord. I guess I’ll pray for the Old Pretender if he succeeds in stealing it.

BUT THEY MUST BE OPPOSED AND HELD TO FULL ACCOUNT FOR THEIR CRIMES.
