as far as perspective, let's remember that he arguably sits in the position of the most powerful man in the world. his spitwads are far more forceful than the ones from the kid in the back of the room, and should the speaker at the head of the class be shooting spitwads anyhow?

or maybe we should drop the perspective altogether: if a photoshopped picture of one person holding the head of another is 'cyber bullying' and inciting violence, isn't a gif of one person body slamming another the same?

fighting fire with fire burns the whole house down, but 'a soft answer turns away wrath' and 'remove the fuel and the fire goes out'
you and i have seen it play out in these forums hundreds of times; if one person acts rude and childish, and others respond the same way, the thread invites judgement and is full of sin. but if the person insulted reacts with grace, the first ones shame & error is immediately apparent to everyone and the thread can continue 'usefully'

but back to perspective, this is what we had in office a short time ago:

when the same thing happened at Trump's rallies, he called for goons to physically rough up his critics and have them thrown out, and proceeded with insults, riling up the crowd with animosity towards them as though they weren't 'really American' but his supporters ((and only his supporters)) are.

there is an obvious difference here, and i don't know that i'd call it 'good'

Are you telling me that if you were president and the media was constantly attacking you and falsely accusing you of things, you’d just ignore it?

what does what post would personally do have to do with anything?

the question is whether it's righteous or not, as 'righteousness' can be defined by scripture, not by worldly moralism. ((and that question comes up because some would like to identify Trump with scriptural righteousness: so test it))


but personally? i think i'd fail to hit the mark.
but you are free to go through my whole history on this forum, investigate how iv'e reacted to being baited and trolled and insulted, and make your own judgement of me, if it is worth anything.

from all accounts, his son has been somewhat charitable with his wealth, but he has not in any wise. let's hope that may change!

the same, in the 'world'...

If a person is working hard and constantly being attacked, and falsely accused, by the liberal media, let them complain.

a person, like, Jesus?

just as a random example of a person constantly attacked & falsely accused.

maybe that's what Jesus was drawing in the sand when they brought Him the woman caught in adultery? little lurid & crudely offensive cartoons of the Sadducees?

ya think . . . .?

:confused:

Jesus complained, too:

[7] “You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
[8] `This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
[9] in vain do they worship me,
teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.'" Matt 15:7-9 RSV
