win for Moscow
Just because this was a "win" for Russia does not mean there is a loser for America. Dennis Waitley wrote a book: The Double Win/success Is a 2-Way Street. (1984)

It is immature to think you have to have a winner and a loser. We have a sports mentality but in the business world that is not the way things work. In this case Trump was a win for American and a win for Russia. It was a double win.

As you know, harming children was a strategy he used to discourage asylum requests. Would you like me to show you that, again?
If you had all of eternity you would never ever be able to justify harming or abusing children. You would just convince me all the more that we need a team like Trump & Pence that are willing to fight for the children and defend the innocent. Heaven is all about children. Trump destroyed those chemical weapons because they were being used to harm child and nothing can justify that.

I assume here what you are trying to do is use bait and switch to get me off of abortion and chemical weapons designed to destroy the innocent. You have Obama trying to take the credit for what Trump does and you have Obama trying to blame Trump for the mess that he made. That is pretty much what you would expect Obama to do. The serpent tongue is not as good at deception now that people are starting to see the truth.

If you had all of eternity you would never ever be able to justify harming or abusing children.

And yet it was Trump's plan to harm children as a way of discouraging asylum applications.

You would just convince me all the more that we need a team like Trump & Pence that are willing to fight for the children and defend the innocent.

And yet, you see that they planned to harm children as a way of implementing their policies.

I assume here what you are trying to do is use bait and switch

I'm just pointing out that if you care about the issue, it's hard to understand how you can support people who planned to harm children.

You have Obama trying to take the credit for what Trump does

Obama never considered harming children as an immigration policy.

and you have Obama trying to blame Trump for the mess that he made.

Clearly, this was the Trump administration's call. And notice that one of Trump's own people repeatedly made it clear how harmful it would be to children. In retrospect it seems to have only make him more eager to do it.

That is pretty much what you would expect Trump to do.

The serpent tongue is not as good at deception now that people are starting to see the truth.

Maybe. (Barbarian checks)

A majority of Americans think that President Trump either rarely or never tells the truth, according to an NBC News/SurveyMoney poll released Wednesday.

Overall, 61 percent of respondents to the online poll believe that Trump tells the truth "only some of the time or less."

The survey results came a day after The Washington Post's Fact Checker reported that Trump has made more than 3,000 false or misleading statements since taking office last year.

It's against the law to take or solicit anything of value from a foreign power in a political campaign. It's against the law to try to hide criminal behavior. Lying to government officials about contacts with foreign agents. Stuff like that.
Nope.

I am talking about the infidels that are attacking Trump and do not recognize that He is serving God. When they are through judging Trump and his administration then God is going to judge them with the same judgement they are now using to judge others. This is the Kingdom age and the Kingdoms of this world are becoming the Kingdoms of God. If God can use Trump then it is pretty obvious that He can use anyone and that anyone not willing to be used by God is without excuse.

1 cor 1:27 "But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong."
****************************************************************

I try to lead a life where I don't have to ask God for forgiveness ...

Why do I have to repent? Why do I have to ask for forgiveness if you're not making mistakes?

- Donald Trump
*********************************************************
1 John 1:8-10

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
*********************************************************

Given "The Donald's" own words concerning his failure to see the need to seek God's forgiveness from sin, one wonders as to why "joshua 1 9" would put his faith in an individual who has made Christ out to be a "liar!"

He said that His Kingdom is not of this world.
Why are you quoting the verse out of context??? Jesus is saying His power and authority does not come from the world. Power and Authority comes from Heaven.

John 18:36 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place."

We are to pray: Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. On the Eighty Day after the 1,000 year reign of Christ there will be a New Heaven and a New Earth. The Earth will become as Eden, the Earth will become as Heaven. This was always God's plan and purpose and nothing can stop God from prospering in what He sends His Word to accomplish.

What did Jesus say about harming children?
Matthew 19:14 "But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven” belongs to such as these."

Matthew 18:3 "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18: 4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever welcomes a little childlike this in My name welcomes Me.

Matthew 18:6 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

If you have to add to His words to make your point, isn't that an important clue? Where did Jesus advocate His followers taking control of government, or setting up an Earthly kingdom?

The Pharisees were looking for a new David who would establish an Earthly kingdom. Jesus was telling them that it would not be there.

Luke 17:20 And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come? he answered them, and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.

Let me explain to you how this works. WE do not need man to teach us. We have the HOLY Spirit of God to Teach us and Guide us into all righteousness. So you do not need my help to understand your Bible. Just pray and God will help you.

1John2:27a But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things...

Lots of people think the Holy Spirit has taught them. But they don't agree with each other. The Bible is there, just for that reason.

Just accept what He says, his way.
