Well, the plan also (I bet a dozen holy donuts) was that many, many people would pray, and that their groans would come to the ears of God. America didn’t earn anything here. Groans came from both Christendom and Judaica because enough evil was turned loose to frighten them all.

And the result was to raise up an improbable billionaire to deliver, apparently, America, and to a lesser extent the modern world. I wonder about a possible connection (illustrational truth) in the bible verse “He was with a rich man in His death.” Some of the riches that were released when Christ died were entrusted to Donald Trump, a man who to all known testimony is barely religious.

It is when people are groaning that they are in best touch with the reality about where the fall of humanity has left them. It’s a tragedy, not something for people to be proud of. They don’t deserve, or merit, or earn a salvation, let alone kudos from heaven about where they are now.

“God so loved the world” is the beginning and end of the story. But God gave the world permission to hate if it adamantly insisted. Love could not be love — it would only be a mechanical puppet show — if this permission were not granted. God never promised the results would be pleasant if the permission were taken. There might even be a kind of “happiness” in hell, the “happiness” of upbraiding God forever in a tooth gnashing rage for what is its own fault, with the support of Satan. But it’s not going to burden anybody else in heaven.

As for “Arabica” coffee. I’m pretty sure that’s even older than Islam. Before being overrun by Islam, there was a fair representation of Christendom in Araby, and even now it has a remnant. I hate it — and so does God, by His own testimony — when evil groups steal away the goodness that God put into things. We get “liberals” who are illiberal. We get “gay people” who are addicted to the grimmest sexual and social abuses. We get “Arab” which the world thinks of as Muslim. (Arab Christians would say excuse us, that’s not quite completely true yet.)

Very good. Yes, there are quite a few Syrians, Lebanese, and Iranians who are Christians. Some Iranians I've known are Christians and call themselves Persian.

We take "refugees" from Syria who are largely muzzlems, but the Christians are the true refugees and we take in very few.

Arab is an oversimplification.
