    First, that statement is simply untrue

    Second, that statement crosses the line to debate in this site.

    Im not a moderator, but I suspect you might hear from one soon.

    I suggest you delete this part of your post as soon as possible.

    peace to you

    Thanks for the concern however I’m really not concerned with this creatures opinions… they are very juvenile and emotionally charged. You don’t debate that way in the real world unless you are trying to make an arse of yourself… which he just displayed.

    It is that interesting, depending on ones interest. I enjoy Church history and theology.

    You are, again, misunderstanding or misrepresenting the position. I am not sure why as I explained that those attributes are practiced just not using worldly systems.

    The Early Church was far from silent. We still hear their voice and see the impact they had on the world.

    Nobody is advocating silence. You are the only person here advocating sin (advocating disobedience to God in order to strengthen what you called a minority political position in our nation).

    I advocate the Christian be obedient to God, whether this is to be involved in politics, to hold office, or to abstain from participating in secular politics altogether.

    But I absolutely agree that Christians are not to remain silent. We are to be a light in this dark world.

    The difference is how the believer uses his or her voice. I, based on personal religious conviction, do not lend my voice to secular politics. One reason is that I do not believe secular politics is the solution. Others lend their voice to a political party or secular cause. We are responsible for our voice, so I leave that up to the individual.

    Yes, I do. And I believe that we can see a decline in Joe Biden since he took office. He is struggling mentally, to the point I seriously doubt he is making decisions as POTUS.

    Obviously. The Defense Secretary (or is he Joint Chiefs?) was just hospitalized for days having cancer surgery and nobody told POTUS!

    Has anyone asked B:den why he wasn’t advised this man was hospitalized? Does anybody wonder why POTUS didn’t notice he was missing from briefings? There are two wars going on (mid East and Ukraine) and Joe doesn’t wonder where his top military adviser is?

    That is very revealing! Who is making these decisions?

    peace to you

    On post #22 @CJP69 made an observation that needs to be considered regarding the nature of our government as representative of its citizens.

    He laminated that those Christians who follow their conscious by not participating in secular politics are hurting the minority of our citizens.

    My answer is that it is better to obey God than man. If obedience to God in my personal life harms a political party then that is really not my business...I don't care. I will still obey God regardless of the cost as best I can.

    And those Christians who follow their convictions by running for office and participating in secular political systems should do the same - obey God even if others disagree with their obedience.


    But the main thing he brought up is the idea that a political party representing the minority of U S. citizens should be in control of our government.

    I am not sure that this is correct.

    Is this mental decline due to age or is this just straight up delusion?

    The more I see things like this the less I believe his allegations that the election was fraudulent.

    One of the things I do like about him. His humor is one of his strengths.

    One of the funniest things he did, early in his admin… he was getting all kinds of grief for calling the press “fake news”.

    He held a press conference to address it; I’m sure the media expected an apology of some sort.

    Instead, he said, “I’m no longer going to refer to the press as “fake news”, from now in your are “very fake news”!!

    I nearly feel out of my chair laughing. These folks were so mad!!!

    very funny

    peace to you

    I think a bit of both. I have known people when they get older to develop specific delusions. Trump was under a lot of pressure and that can accelerate things.

    I am with you about questioning him more now. In just 4 months he made several confused statements (missing up people). Rather than saying "my bad" he defends himself by saying it doesn't matter.

    The last was more significant as it was an entire argument misplaced (not just mixing up a name).

    It certainly does not inspire confidence does it ?

    That’s interesting because Social Security wouldn’t let me retire till I was 67. So my point is yada yada yada. Do you know that Biden had 2 brain surgery’s prior to taking office.. where did I miss that? Darn, and he was running up stairs like a gazelle while The Donald was moving kinda slow trying to go down them…was Biden on something that gave him that energy I wonder & if so, refill that prescription!
