It actually does matter. No the meaning is not the same.
Yeah, but one does not have to be overly persnickety about meanings.

Titus 3:9 (NKJV): "But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless."

This is not about the law so your quote does not apply. Yeshua Himself says The Holy Spirit proceeds from The Father. Not being "persnickety". John 14:16 and John 15:26

OK. Maybe the creed is a little off. Let's get this back on topic again.

From the river to the sea is a hate crime and threatening murder. I say we get their photos, track each and every one down. Give them sentences from two to twenty years depending on the severity of the acts. We have precedent.
First Amendment? What First Amendment?

Yeah, but that does not matter at all. Still hold the same overall meaning roughly. Not everything has to be over complicated in religion.
People fought and died over that distinction once upon a time.

I don’t find burning the American flag in the US an appropriate form of protest.
By ancient tradition, the proper way to dispose of an American flag which has become too damaged or soiled for further use is to burn it. Burning it as a protest is not a protest against the flag itself, but a statement that US policy has spoiled it as a symbol of freedom.

That is true. Religious people can be violent at times, so no wonder why many folks my age have lost their religion, though I will hold on to my Christian faith and be a peaceful Christian, as that is how Jesus told us to live.

Ephesians 4:31-32 (ESV): "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

Matthew 26:52 (ESV): "Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword."

Yeah, I threw out my handheld flag in the middle of 2020. No more flags in my ownership. Only one I heed to is Jesus. :)

There is nothing unChristian about flying a US flag as a patriotic gesture--this is America after all. But it's just a flag, not a fetish.

Agreed. That is true as well. :) For myself, I just had to do some housecleaning and keep my focus on God and drop stuff of this world, though for other things, it can be hard to drop worldly stuff. Patriotism has become harder for me after 2016 or so due to events that happened around then.
