He was a young man with a serious mental illness. That's a fact.

I think he's talking about sin? Transsexualism= sin

Sin begets sin.

But I don't think that can be debated on its morality.

He can correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh I wouldn't make the claim Trump is infallible. It's not even about Trump - it's about the Never Trumper's. It's all about them.

I was not suggesting you think Trump is infallible.
But if someone honestly thinks Trump has done something wrong and explains why and not a single Trump supporter addresses their points and calls them brainwashed they end up thinking all Trump supporters are part of cult that thinks he is infallible

Transsexual, but yes. He "identified" as a woman.

No, I will not respect his chosen name nor pronouns because he was a murderer.

May God avenge the blood of the little children!

Two of the states with the largest number of illegal aliens are Florida and Texas. I wonder if Trump has given that any thought when he proposed to not count them in the census.

Apparently, the SCOTUS has ruled that, as the 14th Amendment requires,that all residents be counted.

Click to expand...

SCOTUS was wrong on that count. I dont believe for a second that the intent was to count illegal residents as a method to decide representation. Since illegals can't vote for their represenatives. Just like Roe v Wade, it would be nice to see it over turned.

And if they do, they shouldn't be counted.

Sure, it's a great idea to allow the USA to continue to be taken advantage of by the globalists and nations in global trade. .... NOT.

That's Trump talk and he doesn't know what he's talking about nor what he's doing.
Which again is why his Ouji board tariff rate where not one deal has been fully completed is why loan rates haven't dropped.

8 So he got up and ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God. [1Ki 19:8 NLT]

So it seems that for Moses and Elijah Mt Sinai was involved. For the transfiguration "tradition has identified it as Mount Tabor in Israel, though some scholars suggest Mount Hermon as another possibility"... (another Mount).
Though they both went to Mount Sinai, fasting for 40 days just having water is nowhere near as impressive as Moses' fast without water. I mean I thought Elijah would copy what Moses did...

I hear you - and those for profit insurance agencies certainly do raise the costs by paying shares, paying their ridiculous CEO salaries, paying huge marketing fees, etc. The Federal government as a single-insurer would cut a lot of those costs, and just have public servants running it.

But if that's all that happens - will not the Federal government be footing the bill to pad the wallets of profit-driven private hospital CEO's, marketing, etc?

​

The Federal government also needs to buy at least half the hospitals to be government owned and operated. That’s the way it is here in Australia, and how we deliver UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE at half the price!

[ Private hospitals have a profit motive which means pushing extra procedures and scans “Just to be sure…” - just so we can charge you more! ]

RESULTS: Australians go to the doctors more, get diagnosed earlier, and go to the hospital sooner to nip it in the bud earlier. All at HALF the cost of the American system.

Therein lies the problem. For profit health insurance companies rake in billions in profit every year, and money that big is exceptionally hard to get rid of in this country. Our government may purport to be "of the people, by the people and for the people," but the reality is government policies are dictated by money, and large industries that generate tons of profit, like the private for profit health care industry, provide that.

I fully support a workable single payer health care system, but I also know, given Citizens United and everything that has followed, it will likely never happen. Not in my lifetime, certainly.

Why is their conviction for some things agreed on as sin but not others?

Click to expand...

Born-Again Christianity is a "work-in-progress." Some basic instructions are black & white and spelled out in the Bible. Other lessons are acquired through John 14:26. Those things that are not spelled out as sin will not necessarily damn you to Hell. They may just prove to be the source of unnecessary trouble, per 1 Corinthians 10:23.

Tobacco use & money mismanagement* are two good examples of that. Neither disqualifies one's Christianity, but the Holy Spirit speaks to both eventually. He deals with each of us individually, so He does not necessarily confront our issues in the same order as He might with someone else. Per 1 John 3:2, He is bringing us all to the same place, though.

Do you have a home Church that teaches these things? Your spiritual growth is the major purpose for Church leadership, per Ephesians 4:11-13.

Jesus loves you just the way you are, but He loves you too much to leave you there...!

*I do not embrace the "Prosperity" doctrine.

The next Prophesied event that the world will experience will be the Sixth Seal. Revelation 6:12-17 Proved by how the first Five Seals were opened at Jesus’ Ascent to heaven. Revelation 6:1-11 All those things have happened, we have experienced wars, famines, plagues and economic disasters aplenty. Any more of any of those and humankind could have been wiped out.
The Sixth Seal worldwide disaster, of cosmic and earthly events is graphically prophesied in the Bible over 100 times, will cause the earth to shudder and shake, and move out of her place....Isaiah 13:13, Isaiah 24:19-20, Revelation 6:14

It will be just a one Day event, as the Coronal Mass Ejection explosion of the suns surface, that the Lord will instigate, Isaiah 30:26a, Psalms 50:1-3, will quickly pass; travelling at 3.5 million mph. But the strike onto the earth of a multi billion ton mass, of superheated Hydrogen plasma, will literally cause all the prophesied effects of the virtual depopulation of all the Middle East region, Ezekiel 30:1-5, Isaiah 13:9, Isaiah 66:17, and worldwide devastation.
It won't affect the daily rotation of the earth, ask any scientist to tell you how totally destructive a sudden change to the earths spin would be.

What it will do is speed up the earth’s orbit by pushing the earth as it moves now at 66,000 mph on its orbital track. Just imagine it; a mass approaching a fast moving object, some may initially hit direct, then the main mass; pressing on the trailing side. This will speed up our 365.24 day year to a 360 day year. Isaiah 13:13
Making the time periods as given by Daniel and Revelation fit exactly!

Regarding the darkness on that Day: Amos 5:18-20, Joel 2:31,
The sun will be obscured by the approaching mass, then when it has passed, there will be smoke and ash clouds for possibly months. Isaiah 60:2

The effects of the earthquakes, storms and tsunamis. plus the moon shining bright red and the earths atmosphere facing the sun being pushed aside, are what a massive CME can and will cause.

Because this will be a seemingly natural disaster, those who disbelieve in God, will continue in their disbelief and when the Leader of the One World Govt demands worship of him, they will be happy to do so. Revelation 13:8

In the article that seems to be where the discussion came from its references a FULL democracy. The US is not and never has been a FULL democracy. So trying to complain about us and making it seem like we are way down the list is a false statement. We are a representative democracy. We are NOT a full democracy. Its a ridiculous article and a ridiculous measure. Cause they are using the wrong measuring stick.

Click to expand...

Then it seems that you do not understand what is meant by a full democracy in the article. You should actually read it. A full democracy does not mean a direct democracy as you seem to imply. There are several representative democracies on that list listed as full democracies.

You just took a term, did not look up what the article means by it and invented your own meaning for it. And made yourself look silly doing it since it's quite obvious you do not understand what's being measured and calculated there.

By the way, saying so proudly that the USA has never been a full democracy is actually pretty funny. I did get a chuckle out of that for obvious reasons.

Uh, how about stop talking about guns, your politics bore me now. Let's talk about the devil or Satan today.

Is it true the shooter was a transvestite, who changed his name from Robert to Robin? This demon shot little children at a Mass.!!! That is the most unholy of unholy things one could do,

Same here. I would never own one, but I don’t have a problem with RESPONSIBLE gun owners who use them for hunting or protection.

“A Killing Machine”: Half of All Mass Shooters Used High-Capacity Magazines

Magazines holding more than 10 rounds were used in 31 of the 62 mass shootings we investigated.

Outlawing high-capacity magazines won’t prevent gun crimes from happening, Chipman notes, but might well reduce the carnage: “Maybe 3 kids get killed instead of 20.”

High-capacity magazines also play a role in the daily gun deaths plaguing US cities from LA to Chicago to Baltimore. “A lot of these folks who are driving in their cars and shooting out the window, they’re shooting whatever is in their magazine,” Chipman says. “So if it’s only 10 rounds instead of 20, maybe the kid halfway down the block doesn’t get hit with round 18.”



How often are LCMs used in high-fatality mass shootings? At minimum, 64% of high-fatality mass shootings perpetrated between 1990 and 2017 involved LCMs.

Are more people killed when LCMs are used? Yes, and the difference in our data set is substantial and statistically significant (11.8 vs 7.3). We should add that our results likely underestimate the difference because we have a truncated sample (we only examined incidents with at least 6 victim fatalities), compounded by the fact that the number of homicide incidents fell as the number of victims increased.
