People have been engaging in bible muddle for centuries, and this was even an American practice.
What kind of galls me is that some of the founders who called for draconian punishments on homosexual adulterers also had chattel slaves... amounting to kidnaping which was also a capital crime under Old Testament law.
The older I get, the more versed in the scriptures I get, and the more I reflect, the more I really see what a morass of hypocrisy we arose in, and that’s just plain truth... the liberals didn’t invent this, they only cruelly exploited the situation.
This also explains why Donald Trump is such a sensation. He is wrong sometimes, but he tends to be anti-lying and anti-hypocrisy. He’s a citizen upstart, you see, with his own independent ideas and not all are in lockstep with the political set and their own fantasy ideal country.
There’s only one true answer and that is a wholehearted embrace of Jesus in New Testament principles.
I agree! As you so often do, this is an excellent & thoughtful post, HiTech.
Trump also tells his crowds that he loves/likes them and that they’re wonderful. I don’t remember the last time a candidate did that, let alone a politician.
He does know how to read people quickly.
And Jesus said ‘Remember Lot’s wife!!!!
