Who Will Harris Pick for VP Running Mate???

[GoldenBoy89]

It doesn’t say much for some Democrats that they won’t vote for a black female

What’s it say for the party that doesn’t even bother to nominate one?

 

[AlexB23]

Because they are a majority party and pro-life is a minority position.

Hmm, what was that verse? We should not conform ourselves to the world, so as Christians, we are the minorities. So, that is why I want a Democrat or any other politician who is pro-life (and allows for emergency scenarios), humble, protects the environment and lowers the cost of living for the majority of the population. People would like the Democrats more, if they took a moment, dropped the woke stuff, and worked in a bipartisan matter. In other words, Democrats (and Republicans) need to go back to the 1970s again.

Romans 12:2 (NKJV): "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

I don’t remember a black female running for the nomination in a Republican primary.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

I don’t remember a black female running for president as a Republican.

Neither do I.

I know of a lot of people who wanted Condi Rice for President. One small problem - she didn't want the job.

I recall her goal was being NFL commissioner

Those days are gone. Both parties have moved from the middle closer to the far sides.

She was the first person that came to mind

I haven't said anything to disagree with that. "Working class men and women of all races, creeds and colors " are not an identity group. And the DNC has definitely set them aside.

Critical Theory is a bigger thing than you realize. It's the driving ideology of identity politics.

So who is the sinister force behind this detestable ideology? Do dead left-wing radicals really have the power to cloud men's minds?

 

[BPPLEE]

Well, I did say they masked their efforts better.

Even aside from the “racist streak” - all the appeals to religion and family values; all the comments about “real americans” or “coastal elites” were appeals to specific identities. They’re just (usually) not quite as obvious as “vote for me because you’re black”.

Actually it was if you don’t vote for me then you ain’t black. Oops, that was a Democrat, that doesn’t count

It's mostly taught in colleges. Critical Theory is an "ivory tower" version of Marxism first developed by the Frankfurt School whose proponents eventually moved from Germany to the UK to the US. Critical Theory is the principles of Marxism lifted from economics to be applied in other fields. At this time, it's the basis of Critical Race Theory, Critical Gender Theory, and Radical Feminism. You don't have to believe me on any of this...it's not a secret and it's not a theory...those scholars in all those fields say so themselves in their seminal documents.

Two of the principles lifted from Marxism to Critical Theory is that there is an oppressor whose tendency to oppression is inherent, genetic. The oppressor is relentless, and the struggle against the oppressor must be ruthless. There can be no compromise or treaty or reconciliation with the oppressor. The oppressor must be destroyed or reduced to social irrelevancy. The entire culture of the oppressor is the tool of oppression: His language, history, art, science, philosophy, medicine, everything he has created is for the purpose of oppression and must be discarded.

That's why it's within Critical Theory ideology to state "we are unburdened by anything that came before." That's why "math is racist" and "English is racist" in Critical Race Theory...because Europeans are the oppressor in Critical Race Theory.

This is promoted in American universities to the extent that it's soaking even into the sciences.

That is true. Maybe, this increase in division could be a sign that the Great Tribulation is near. Already, we see division in other countries, and persecution. Praise Jesus, come quickly.

2 Timothy 3:1-5a (NKJV): "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power."

Christians are *NOT* the minority in the US.

Have you paid attention to partisan interaction in Congress lately?

Romans 12:2 (NKJV): "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

I am unfamiliar with this verse. I started to read "Romans" but by the end of chapter 1, I was so disgusted I stopped.

If you'd use a Catholic bible, you'd see it was "conformed to this age". anyway.

It depends on which Catholic translation you trust.

Romans 12:2​

New Catholic Bible​

2 Do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewal of your minds, so that you will be able to discern the will of God and to know what is good and acceptable and perfect.

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition​

2 Do not be conformed to this world,[a] but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.[b]

I think the NRSV-CE is the standard Catholic Bible for the last 30 years

In congress, both parties have been fighting lately. And yes, Christians are not the minority, but in the Democrats, Christians are the minority. And yes, Romans is a hard read, but if one wants to start with a book in the Bible, John, Matthew, Luke and Mark talk about forgiveness and the beatitudes.

From Pew: 5. Party identification among religious groups and religiously unaffiliated voters

I use a Catholic bible also, the NRSV-CE. As most folks here are Protestant, I use the Protestant Bibles a lot such as the NIV, NKJV and ESV.

I love the NRSV-CE. Good Bible. There is a Protestant version as well, known as the NRSV.

They recently came out with an updated edition, it’s been highly rated except for some changes they made regarding homosexuality.

No, the standard Catholic bible is the "New American Bible" for the last 50 years. The NRSV-CE which includes the books missing from the standard edition, is "OK" for private study, but not for the Mass.

 

[AlexB23]

Which one? The NRSV-CE, which is based upon the RSV-CE? Yeah, changes regarding doctrine should not be made to the Bible.

So, which one is better? Is the NRSV-CE better than the NAB?
