Satan is not a Christian, but he has been committing blasphemy since before he was cast down from heaven to earth.
Try to restrain yourself a bit, your comment was quite offensive to Christians.
Thanks and thanks also for your commitment to vote for Trump.
“You don’t need to build an actual wall if we just strictly enforce the laws we already have.”
Yes you do, when you’ve told your country that that’s what you intend to do. This isn’t about money, or even the effectiveness of a wall, it’s about doing what you said you were going to do! Besides the Effing Mexicans are going to pay for the wall, and that is also because we’ve been told by Trump that that too is what he’s promised and hence what he will deliver. Besides, I’d love to see all the rich “white beaners” in Mexico City looking like they’ve just hoovered a turd!
The Pharisees, or teachers of the law, were trying to trick Jesus into going against Rome so they could have him arrested. Judea was part of the Roman Empire, yet they were the only province that was allowed to keep their own religion instead of worshipping Caesar as a god. However, they were required to pay huge taxes (much of which would go into the tax collector’s pocket) to support the Roman government that they resented.
The Jews hated - absolutely hated - having to pay taxes to a polytheistic conquering state. Throughout the history of Israel, being free meant that God was with them.
When the Jewish leaders cornered him in front of the people, they were asking him a loaded question. They asked him if it was right for them to give money and tribute to pagan overlords, since the Roman mythology did not honor God. If he said that they should, they could rouse the Jewish people against him as a Roman sympathizer. If he said that they shouldn’t, they could turn him in as a zealot (one fo the Jewish “fanatics” that was trying to overthrow Rome with guerilla warfare).
Jesus asked for a Roman coin and put it back in the Pharisees’ court. He asked them whose picture was on the coin - it was that of Caesar. He told them to give to Caesar what was his - the coin with his likeness - and to give to God what was His - their hearts, their obedience to His Word. He was not only answering the question to the satisfaction of everyone involved, he was slapping the Pharisees down in public by spotlighting the fact that while they obeyed the letter of the Mosaic law, their hearts were turned toward themselves. How they looked to others was more important than how they looked to God.
That is the meaning of the saying - give to your worldly authorities what belongs to them, but give to God what belongs to Him.
It is a much broader then the Social conservatives want it to be.
Thank you.
He might just be a great leader who does what he says he intends to do.
“
You don’t need to build an actual wall if we just strictly enforce the laws we already have.”
At a minimum I want both,,then even STRICTER laws!
It’s going to be a beautiful wall.
The Kingdom of God is not a democracy, in part because if Jesus were to run for office rather than be the Lord of the Universe, no one would vote for Him, and He knows it, because as John tells us, He knows what is in the heart of men.
I always hoped I'd see this once before I died.
She's a better man than I am, it never crossed my wildest imagination as a possibility, so I didn't have the mental image to hope for!
Best laugh I have had all day! You have made the day for a Cruzer who is joining the Trump train. Thank you.
“... at the now-defunct National Review ....”
LOL.
Just because the other two have dropped out doesn’t mean there ain’t some shenanigans goin’ on behind the gopE curtains. Pretty sad when you no longer trust them. I’ve had doubts for a long time but this cycle has turned me off completely. Changing to “I” since we only have a meaningless caucus in NV anyway. Seemed like a waste of time to us.
Correct me if I’m wrong but he has spent about $30 million of his own money
I smell ozone

will it have distinctive architectural appointments?
I think we realize by now that is not going to happen.
