    Trump will vote to overturn Florida's abortion restrictions

    I agree, it's not popular. Nevertheless, I would rather deal with the people hating my pro-life stance than stand before God explaining my softening of my pro-life position.

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    Trump could go take a picture at a biohazard waste dumpster outside of Planned Parenthood with a smile and thumbs up and some might say, "Look how pro-life Trump is!" without thinking it's a bit strange... :oops: They would follow that up with a picture of Biden sniffing little girls' hair.

    The hatred of Jews

    I'm agreeing to how they map after you asked why I wouldn't be more concerned about the innocent people that were murdered by Shukr. Hilarious how we're having a meta discussion about this. I'll break it down so you'll understand. You brought up the camel and the gnat because you asked a loaded...

    The hatred of Jews

    Wait, Jesus got on your account and made the post below? I'm saying it shouldn't have reminded you of the camel and the gnat because we agree how the camel and the gnat map to Shukr and the people he killed.

    Trump will vote to overturn Florida's abortion restrictions

    I concede that I wish Trump was more pro-life than his stance. He is fighting for more weeks, I believe, because the left is using "reproductive rights" against him. I think Trump should double-down, not soften his stance on pro-life. I DO have to give the devil his due in selecting SCJ which...

    The hatred of Jews

    It was intentionally left off because I don't refute it. It's not "arguing" a point when two sides agree. I only countered Penned's claim about God grieving over the unsaved as was the case in Genisis. Or in other words, you're pointing to the "camel" when we were discussing only the "gnat".

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    Yeah, I think a salute would have been highly more appropriate personally. But I mean, even that would still be illegal to take pictures.

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    It appears that's what people on here are doing... whataboutism. If it's true Joe Biden did the same thing in 2020, how does this make it legal for Trump to do it? Why can't we attack both parties for doing this? Thank you for making your argument that it's illegal and unjustified.

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    I haven't looked too deep into this topic, all I have read is that it's illegal to take pictures in the area where the pictures were taken. Has this been debunked or is this true? I haven't seen an actual argument in support of the pictures taken being done so legally. Hopefully someone can...

    The hatred of Jews

    There are different types of children. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. We, Christians, are adopted children of God. The world, in a general sense, are children of God. That wasn't what I was pointing at but I understand you want to be clear on this. Let's rewind a bit. Do you believe God...

    What part and what do you mean by undone?

    The hatred of Jews

    Appreciate it. This was the point of the discussion. I never made the case we SHOULDN'T be concerned with what Shukr did. Penned questioned why we should grieve over the unsaved dead (like Shukr and unbelieving Jews for example) and denied that God grieves over them. I conceded that the bible...

    The hatred of Jews

    You've missed the Spirit of God if you think He isn't grieved when man turns against Him. These are just a few examples of God grieving for His children. The fact that unbelievers reject Christ does not mean He does not grieve them... It's because He loves them that He grieves them. In Ezekiel...

    Where do pastors stand on 'mild drinks' like beer?

    I've only drank a handful of times in my life. I grew up in a religion that taught it was a sin. I no longer think it's a sin but applaud anyone who abstains because they don't want to be tempted. Perhaps it's advisable, but not commanded. One of the handful of times I drank, I had a bunch of...

    The hatred of Jews

    Actually, it has everything to do with it. I conceded that we aren't commanded to grieve, so you're right in that you aren't required to grieve for those who are unsaved (non-believing Jews and Shukr for example). I just posted a few scriptures which shows God grieving over those who are...

    The hatred of Jews

    Ezekiel 18:32: For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live! Genesis 6:6: And the Lord repented that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him in His heart. Ephesians 4:30: And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    Perhaps this is semantics. I do agree that "feminism" and "femininity" are linked but not necessarily synonymous. "Feminism" is an ideological framework that bleeds into many other identities, platforms, etc... , whereas "femininity" simply describes attributes and qualities consistent with...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    True, there isn't objective data to really say for certain so I'll admit my opinion is mostly anecdotal. I'll speak for myself on a period of time I stopped living with Christ as the center. Was I annoyed about the judgmental hypocrites? Yes, it was a deterrent to want to attend church but I...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    What do you think that agenda is? Feminism. You're agreeing with me but objecting to the label I slapped onto those platform's agenda. It's a bit confusing as to why you object to my saying it's "feminism". Let's say I concede the fact there are more Christians alive today in the US than there...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    Sadly, from my anecdotal experience, I can agree with some of those complaints. I stopped going to a particular protestant church because when the men in the congregation would meet up, they would turn that service/meeting into an RNC convention. I'm a conservative, but I don't go to church to...
