I stand by my statement.

But to give you more insight into my meaning, Faith is powerful. Prayer is powerful. I grant all this. But on our own we have no power next to this evil. Our strength comes from God. Understand? I'm not dismissing the power of prayer and fast, nor denying we have a duty to defend life. I'm simply acknowledging the origin of that strength doesn't come from me but Him.

As to what Jeb must do, that is between him, his conscience and God. It's been recommended he intervene. Maybe he will. Maybe he won't. If he doesn't I don't believe it will be the result of political cowardice, but rather that is not the role God wished him to play. Of course we are all entitled to have our different views on that, but at the end of the day I respect him and do not hold him accountable anymore than I do myself and us all.

This is my main argument. I have no once argued against pursuing measures to save her life, even had severe arguments with those contending we are justified to order starvation of an innocent. Where i draw the line is in the manner Jeb and the other Republicans are being treated. they haven't earned this.

Our strength comes from God. Understand?
Absolutely. HE gives us His strength - to do His will. We need to step out in faith - with His strength. We do have power against evil - He gives us this power. If not - evil will rule us. We are His ambassadors here on earth. Either we have faith in Him while we carry out His will or we sit back and get into the deeper mess and are useless.

Jeb is in the position to do something. With power, comes opportunity. Much given, much expected. Perhaps Jeb was raised up for such a time as this.

Totally agree...As to what Jeb must do, that is between him, his conscience and God. I have not said anything about the republicans or never said I didn't respect Jeb.
I don't hold anyone accountable for anything - they don't answer to me - we are all accountable to Our Maker.

Sorry you had to waste your time arguing with those who want to destroy life. What do they care about..Thou shalt not kill. No need to throw pearls before swine. If someone doesn't know taking a life is wrong - no amount of pursuasion will change them. That's a deep problem they have from within.

Good night, soul seeker!
