Tonight's Presidential Debate

Well yes, but you're not really supposed to let it get to that point in the first place, God already stated his judgment and stated what you are supposed to do as a society to prevent it. Terrible, but just, is the judgment of God upon such a nation that allows and then falls into whoredom, but this is a whole big topic in itself, after all directly or indirectly, a huge chunk of the Bible both OT and NT is devoted to this. Either way as this topic is concerned, shouldn't be too surprising that the party of the defenders of the sluts is being endorsed by Taylor Swift one of the most infamous sluts of her generation. The army of Jezebel versus the army of God.

Exactly how many minutes did it take to get the "migrants" out of Martha's Vineyard?!

People have been breaking the commandments since the dawn of time. Not sure what you think you can do to prevent it.

Do you disagree with what Paul has said?

Why would anyone not vote for him? That doesn't make any sense.

If it's not happening, why didn't she sign the Born Alive Bill? Why did her VP also refuse and changed the language so that if a baby is born alive they will get "care" instead of being taken to a hospital?

Well it's not about me, it's about what God says, right? God says that to prevent the land from falling into whoredom you put the whores to death. If you fail in doing that then your society will become unjust and full of evil and God himself will destroy that society with his most severe of judgments. You really can't read the prophets nor the apostles without coming across this theme over and over again. Perhaps this would make a good BDF topic, I have been thinking about taking another stab at making a topic, I will think about this.

No, I do not disagree with Paul, but I agree with him quite well on this topic which he talks at length about, though of course John probably puts it the best in my opinion. 1 Corinthians 10:8.

If it's not happening, why didn't she sign the Born Alive Bill? Why did her VP also refuse and changed the language so that if a baby is born alive they will get "care" instead of being taken to a hospital?

This is why. It was fake dog whistle legislation by the fanatical evangelical right.

I can agree partially but "gaslighting" is the attempt to convince someone of something that is not real usually to cause harm to the other person or for personal gain.

Narcissists are really good as gaslighting, I have to work with one everyday and I suspect we have a few on CC.

I think this situation about the debate was just a failure of communication with no faking involved.

Too late lady. The truth of the matter has already been published on this thread.

These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.
Isn't Paul addressing believers? Do you go around murdering immoral people?

yup. Too late for you

Very misleading. Berkshire Hathaway paid $8 billion in taxes. When you buy and sell stocks there is a capital gain tax that must be paid, so every person who owns the stock paid a portion of this tax, but in total it was $8 billion.

Amazon.com paid $2.1 billion in the US, they pay taxes in other countries as well.

Now Tesla did not pay any tax on income of $96 billion in 2018. Why? I don't know but I suspect they bought a whole lot of equipment that they were able to write off for depreciation. That law is favorable to domestic manufacturing and encourages companies to invest in new equipment. So even though they did not pay taxes you should also look at all their suppliers. Did they pay taxes? Also Tesla employs 121,000 people, did they pay taxes?

I am all for billionaires paying their fair share, but the word fair means everyone is treated the same. If Warren Buffet is trying to minimize the tax burden on his fund that benefits everyone investing in his fund fairly. He has long term investments so when he sells he gets the lower long term capital gains tax, and only when he sells. These laws encourage investors to invest. That is why capitalism works because money flows quickly to reward the winners and punish the losers. All that money they invest is being used by businesses to employ others and to keep their businesses competing with the rest of the world.

Ask yourself what "loophole" are these billionaires using to lower their tax rate? The write offs they have are available to everyone. Most of them do not take a salary which would be taxed at a higher rate, they profit when the stock goes up. As a rule investors want the CEO to profit when the stock goes up and to lose when the stock goes down.

One way they can cut their taxes is by taking a capital loss on a stock trade and carrying that forward to the next year. By law you can carry forward capital losses indefinitely. Perhaps they took big losses in 2008 and 2015 that they are still carrying forward. Again, this is fair, all investors get to do this.

Do not try to twist this as a defense of billionaires. I have no idea what their tax return looked like, or how they are able to pay such low taxes. What I do know is that simply looking at this one number does not fairly tell us anything.

I am totally enjoying Black Rock and their ESG initiatives and all the DEI hires who have no clue.

Maybe @Eli1 can help explain the real world.

PennEd,

it's a free country. Go ahead answer something else. You will fail the psyche exam though.

Whatever gave you that impression? .

Paul is speaking to all that by him many might profit It's not like there is one set of rules for believers and one set of rules for unbelievers. It's not murder if one who deserves to die is put to death. This society has fallen into such depravity and injustice that it might just have to undergo the ultimate judgment of the Holy God.

I believe her goal is truth. She sometimes has trouble getting beyond prejudices and misunderstanding.

Fornication in your view is deserving of death?
