That's not misspeaking. He did it at least 4 times on two different occasions. Obviously he thought that's how it's pronounced.

He was president. He has a legacy. He's fair game forever. I'll call him out for accepting this "good citizenship" award for doing nothing. I'll call him out for accepting the Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing. I'll call him out for being a pothead and eating dogs and...I could go on.

False. Just days ago, the GOP was screaming that Constitutional rights are God- given and apply to everyone.

Click to expand...

Did you actually believe the God given rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution applies to those who reject them and wish to live under a different system? Perhaps the US ought to invade Great Britain and strip its government of their power and instill a US Constitutional one. After all the Declaration of Independence gives us that right. Canada should really be first since its so close.

Did you really believe thats what they meant?

Yeah, the number of people here on the forums plugging things into Google's AI search and uncritically parroting the results is, frankly, depressing. Like, if you're going to be that lazy in a zero-stakes casual discussion that you have no obligation whatsoever to participate in, what's even the point?

I disagree. Whatever Jesus did he did for us.

Click to expand...

Not initially.
He appointed 12 disciples that they might be with him, go out and preach and have the power to cast out demons, Mark 3:14-15.
Jesus taught his disciples more than he taught the crowds. He explained parables and teaching to them that he didn't tell others, Mark 4:10-11, Mark 4:34, Luke 12:1. The sermon on the mount was spoken to the disciples, Matthew 5:1-2.

Jesus had many disciples - in John 6:66 a lot of them left him. But the 12 were his closest followers.

And he said we have to prove we are children of God by being good,

Click to expand...

HE didn't have to prove he was the Son of God, God spoke at Jesus' baptism, transfiguration and on one other occasion to declare this. On the latter occasion Jesus said, "this voice was for your benefit, not mine", John 12:30.

RandyPNW said:

To "be good" we have to be good consistently, in good times and bad times, when confronted with evil

Click to expand...

Jesus wasn't good when confronted with demons. He didn't invite them to have fellowship with him; he drove them out.

If you mean that Jesus set us an example and practiced what he preached; agreed. But he didn't need to appoint a devil to be one of his closest disciples to prove that.
Jesus showed that he loved his enemies by going to the cross for us - we, who hated God and were far from him, were reconciled to God by Jesus.
Jesus forgave his enemies when they flogged him and he did not retaliate, when he could have called down 12 legions of angels to help him, but did not and when prayed, "Father, forgive them ...".
Jesus showed that God cared for the unclean, the unlovely, the sick and disabled etc etc when he ate and drank with them, and healed them. He showed that God cared for the lowly when he chose fishermen and a tax collector to be his disciples and not the religious elite who knew Scripture backwards.

RandyPNW said:

Who am I to listen to--to Jesus or to you? Jesus said we must be confronted with evil

Click to expand...

Jesus taught his disciples to pray "deliver us from evil", or "keep us safe from the evil one."
He didn't say we had to make a point of searching out evil.

RandyPNW said:

We are to be the "light of the world," always showing God's virtues in good times and in bad times.

Click to expand...

Jesus told his 12 disciples - including Judas - they were to be light and salt for the world.
Jesus is the light of the world. God is light, in him there is no darkness at all, 1 John 1:5. In the NT there are only two states; light and darkness. If you belong to one, you cannot belong to the other. People are either for Jesus, or against him.

How could Jesus have appointed a devil, told him to drive out other demons and said that he was to be light to the world?
The devil hates Jesus, is opposed to Jesus and cannot ever be in fellowship with Jesus. There is no way the devil would have ever gone out to preach the Kingdom of God and drive out evil spirits.
Why would Jesus have let an evil person - devil - into his band of closest followers, just to be able to say, "this is how you confront evil; by welcoming it"? He had enough opposition from the Pharisees, from demons, from his family, from Herod and from people who tried to stone him to death. He didn't need it from his closest friends as well. Yes they didn't always understand and trust him but they stayed with him and were, mostly, loyal.

Adam and Eve sinned with the free will nature they had and only one way to sin, so why would we not also sin with a free will nature and a ton of ways to sin (given through the knowledge of good and evil)? Why do we have to "fall" to being less of a human than Adam and Eve?

Click to expand...

Adam did not have a fallen nature when he fell. We are fallen now because he chose to rebel against God then.

Are we going back to having “outlaws”?
In the olden days an “outlaw” was someone designated as being “outside of the law”, therefore anything that the ”law” did to them was fine…this requires that the Constitutional principles of presumed innocence and equal protection in the law be dispensed with and that extra-judicial killings is just a-okay.

Your exaggerated adoration of God’s sheer omnipotence can yield conclusions as foolish as Calvin’s assertion, in Book III of the Institutes, that God predestined the fall of man so as to show forth his greatness in both the salvation and the damnation of those he has eternally preordained to their several fates.

Were this so, God would be the author of and so entirely beyond both good and evil, or at once both and neither, or indeed merely evil (which power without justice always is).

The curious absurdity of all such doctrines is that, out of a pious anxiety to defend God’s transcendence against any scintilla of genuine creaturely freedom, they threaten effectively to collapse that transcendence into absolute identity — with the world, with us, with the devil.

For, unless the world is truly set apart from God and possesses a dependent but real liberty of its own analogous to the freedom of God, everything is merely a fragment of divine volition, and God is simply the totality of all that is and all that happens; there is no creation, but only an oddly pantheistic expression of God’s unadulterated power.

One wonders, indeed, if a kind of reverse Prometheanism does not lurk somewhere within such a theology, a refusal on the part of the theologian to be a creature, a desire rather to be dissolved into the infinite fiery flood of God’s solitary and arbitrary act of will.

In any event, such a God, being nothing but will willing itself, would be no more than an infinite tautology — the sovereignty of glory displaying itself in the glory of sovereignty — and so an infinite banality.

Then I suppose the 2nd Ammendment applies to everyone in the EU. We should see guns flooding into the EU now. England then has the wrong form of government because it doesn't follow the US Constitutional Form.

Canada has some explaining to do regarding the rights of their citizens because their citizens most certainly do not have the same rights as ours.
