    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    Just wanted to say something about tariffs. This Nation is a LOT different from when the last time our governments income derived from tariffs. Global economy.... The USA's GDP stems about half from government spending....unlike before when only 5% of our GDP stemmed from government...

    God and Old Coots

    Agreed.... I like children too...but children I don't know need parental approval and supervision. Kids these days are different. They don't drink beer and wear bicycle helmets. Of course they don't smoke either. At best some of the teenagers might vape. And they get so much candy...

    God and Old Coots

    The "off" is more of an "offa" because an "of" belongs in the sentence....and it needs a snarl to go with it. I excel at this statement....because I use it often and practice a lot. And no....the "new age" term is not allowed to be used unless a lot of four letter words are used as...

    Questions about Christianity

    You are most welcome. We hadn't crossed paths in a minute and I haven't taken the opportunity to speak directly towards you. (My bad habit I've been trying to correct lately) But when I see you active in a thread I know I'm unneeded to chime in as you are usually fairly thorough and...

    Questions about Christianity

    Yeah, I tend to take @Magenta word for it when she makes a statement about something. Especially if I'm too lazy too research the subject myself because she tends to be a more reliable source than anyone else on the forum. Also her theologies are more sound than most. We differ at...

    When the Only Time You Hear from People -- Is For a Fundraiser/Bake Sale/Social Media Following/Business They're Trying to Keep Alive...

    We, the Christians, are created to shine our light in a dark and hopelessly lost world. And we are admonished to "make the most of every opportunity ". Because being old and alone is not a life goal worth anything to anyone including God. In order to have friend, you must first be a...

    Obviously he considered himself equal to a king....look at Solomon. But they definitely follow the Abrahamic covenant....theirs and the Jewish diet is not different.

    Questions about Christianity

    I stand corrected on the dates....I thought it was earlier. I've never really studied the Koran or Muslim history much. I just know what I see from Muslims I personally know. They are extremely respectable and not intent on murdering the infidels. They are interested in living a life...

    Questions about Christianity

    Not much different from Old Testament scriptures.... Except Muslims have no equivalent New Testament scriptures to follow. Roughly the same time our New Testament was being authored and finished the Koran was being written.

    Questions about Christianity

    Uhhhh.....no. And honestly it's not the vast majority of the Muslim people.....only a few militants doing this. We have had the same type of thing here in the USA but we, as a nation, stop such behavior. We don't allow the bombing of Abortion clinics or killing of doctors by a few crazed...

    Questions about Christianity

    No different from what the Early Church experienced. Many of them were killed, kicked out and made homeless by having all assets seized.
