Slow news day?

For centuries, some have believed that Melchisedek was actually Shem, the son of Noah. It is from Shem that the term Semite was derived.

This whole thing is a perfect example of how spineless McConnell is. He simply does or says just enough of what he thinks is necessary to be acceptable at the moment.

He is a spineless coward, I think. I wouldn’t trust him to hold a $20 bill for me until I got back in the room.

He is taking a backseat to Trump, and that shows just how horrible he is at leadership. The party leadership should easily belong to McConnell at this time due to him being the current highest ranking elected “GOP” official - but it does not.

This is one of my favorite Bible stories. It was in fact the first lesson I ever taught at church. Mordecai was the man!!

As we know, the USA never afforded him any opportunities.

She is a perfect example of a politician getting rich off of the public. You cannot convince me that this PAC would not be a cash cow for her.

Plus, I fear she'd use it to fund her own campaign once she announces a run for the presidency.

Shysters!!!

Even though I expect to see a lot of primary challenges in the GOP in 2022, I also think we'll see some of them being thoroughly embittered and running on a third-party ticket to upset the ones that challenge them.

It just kills McConnell that he doesn’t actually run the party. Seeing Biden sworn in was a terrible thing to behold, but watching McConnell gripe because he’s not calling the shots is at least some sort of consolation prize I can enjoy.

I am hoping to see the Trumps start up their own social media platform with their own servers, etc. To be in a place where they don’t need the approval of anyone else in order to share information would be an enormous help to the patriots in this country.

I have been in the ministry for many years, in varying degrees. For the last ten years or so, I have been a senior pastor. Before that, I was an associate a few years, and a children’s pastor for several years before that.

So, I feel reasonably qualified to say this:

In my observation, many in the church have moved away from serving Christ, to a position of thinking of Jesus as its servant.

Simply put, there is a “what’s in it for me” attitude. No, it’s not the majority of the church, but it has crept in and caused people to lose focus.

I’ve had enough of all of these prosperity gospel preachers. That comment alone is going to unsettle some here. Yes, God blesses His people, but that should be a side effect of serving Him diligently. Anyone that disagrees with me should simply send me $10,000 and see how much God blesses you for it.

In 1 Corinthians 11:1, the Apostle Paul states, “Follow me as I follow Christ.”

Also, in Luke 8:18, Jesus told us to “Be careful what you hear....”.

The church is in trouble with this kind of stuff because the congregations don’t always demand excellent Christian behavior from it’s leadership.

I don’t care how big a church is. My concern is whether or not the Pastor follows Jesus.

Priorities.....

I had honestly wondered if Herschel would run for the seat. He’s extremely popular here, of course.

Yes

That brief moment that watched this was like watching a guy driving alone in the car next to me with a mask on. Virtue signaling.

Q is ridiculous and always has been. It’s mostly useless code and just about everything that was clear never happened. And it was those on the left being accused of following fake news.

I agree with that and after thinking about it said the same basic thing to my wife last night.

I think Donald Trump could do the job well. It would be his way of going around the others in the various media.

Dan’s bake sale.

I was on a military deployment in South America when Clinton won in 1992. A friend broke the news to me, and asked me if I listened to Rush Limbaugh. I’d never heard of him.

When I got back to the base a few weeks later I tuned in, and was amazed that no one had ever mentioned him to me.

I was completely amazed at how much their was to know in the world of politics, and I have Rush to thank for waking me up to it all. He more or less showed me how the democrats play their game.

I am not sure if I am reading that correctly, but are you saying that a marriage between a man and a woman lasts forever? Or, are you saying it is a lasting institution, so long as man lives on the earth in the flesh?

Matthew 22:

28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for all had her.

29 Then Jesus answered, and said unto them, Ye are deceived, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry wives, nor wives are bestowed in marriage, but are as the Angels of God in heaven.

I believe Jesus tells us all here that we aren’t actually married in heaven, and that there’s no reason to acknowledge the former marital relationship, or to continue on in that practice.

It’s a totally different world. Marriage was created by God to be used on earth. We use it to show that commitment to our spouse and family. We were instructed to populate the earth, and marriage was a part of that.

There will be no new births in heaven, so none of it is necessary.

I know the LDS tech about being spouses being tied together for eternity. Just for clarity, is that where you are coming from?

My money is on Trump.

As we all know, this has been the goal all along. They want to wear us out until we lose hope and stay home on election day.
