Kanye just dropped the 'Republicans freed the slaves' bomb...

[Baptist Believer]

I don’t think he’s mentally ill.

I know a modest number of people who are bipolar, including some family members, and Kanye West strikes me as a classic example of the condition. He goes through manic phases (like now) and then through deep depression, where he is very quiet, but you will see photos of him looking like he is deeply depressed.

I think outrageous fortune went to his head. He’s immature impetuous and mouthy. Like a lot if Hollywood.

That certainly plays into it, for sure.

 

[Baptist Believer]

But I've already told you Jesus is my Lord.

Then you need to start obeying His commands. Some of the leading ones are not to bear false witness, to love your enemies, and to let your 'yes' be yes and your 'no' be no (Matthew 5:37, James 5:12), and not try to twist (aka, spin) the words of others.

The pro-life Jesus of the Bible. Who is your Jesus?

The ascended Lord Jesus Who is seated in the heavens, giving me the power to be an effective minister upon the earth. That same Jesus is revealed in scripture and is pro-life, not just anti-abortion.

I think you know Kanye about as well as I know you. And I will say I find his reasoning more sound than yours.

The way you lash out at people and accuse them of not being saved when the disagree with you is definitely more problematic. But I'm not going to go to extremes and accuse you of mental illness. you really need to knock this nonsense off.

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

So let me guess. You also consider yourself to be a conservative?

I am Conservative— the kind who doesn’t believe in trade wars, Borrowing from Chinese, Russians or any foreign power; likes stability; believes in taking care of Americans first—forget about globalization.. send the UN to the Artic Circle—- wonders how they would staff it if they had to live up there in the frozen tundra. Believes in the second amendment, come to my house and I will show you how much and I can’t stand socialism... it is the primary robber of American freedom.

 

[Baptist Believer]

You mean like fighting for life? Hmmm. because I don't see you following this command.

What makes you think you are in a position to judge that? You have no clue what I do and what I don't do.

And yet you fight against those fighting abortion, which is very peculiar. Your a blessing to the abortionists.

That's a bizarre claim. Just because someone claims to be "fighting abortion" does not give them a free pass for everything else they might do. Again, you are in no position to judge that aspect of my life. You only see a small part of my life here.

Trump, OTOH, is the most pro-life president it our nations history. And yet you fight his efforts daily.

I don't fight any of his pro-life efforts. I oppose his corruption. As I've pointed out to you a number of times before, you pretend that if President Trump faces justice for what he has done, then that's the end of a pro-life presidency. To make your rhetorical point, you ignore that Pence is the Vice President, and he would assume the office if President Trump has to vacate it. Therefore, no great loss to the pro-life movement. If both President Trump and Vice President Pence has to vacate their offices, then we will have "President Ryan" (if it happens within the next few months), who is also pro-life.

So your argument makes no sense, whatsoever.

How will you explain this to the Jesus you say your follow?

I talk to Him about it every day. I oppose evil and deception in the Trump Administration BECAUSE I am a follower of Christ.

Yes, a true Trump lover. Thank you for clarifying.

... to love your enemies, and to let your 'yes' be yes and your 'no' be no (Matthew 5:37, James 5:12), and not try to twist (aka, spin) the words of others.....

Hmmm. Seem to be rebuking yourself here. I don't see the love for Trump you're claiming to have. Must have missed it somewhere.

Me, OTOH, I love people enough to tell them the truth, even call them out. I'll continue to show you this love.

 

[Baptist Believer]

That's your choice. I find Kanye's reasoning more sound than yours as well.

The way you lash out at people...

I call you out on things. I don't "lash out." That's what someone does when they are angry. You don't get me angry.

...and accuse them of not being saved when the disagree with you...

And there's that lie again.

...is definitely more problematic. But I'm not going to go to extremes and accuse you of mental illness. you really need to knock this nonsense off.

I haven't "accused" anyone of mental illness. Mental illness is a very serious thing that happens to people. There's no point in "accusing" anyone of mental illness. I suspect Kayne West is mentally ill and I have an enormous about of mercy and compassion for that. I don't hold him accountable for the things he says.

However, I've noticed that you have no trouble declaring that In The Light has the so-called Trump Derangement Syndrome. You have done it recently, here and here, so your self-righteousness on this point is simply hypocrisy.

 

[Baptist Believer]

Hmmm. Seem to be rebuking yourself here. I don't see the love for Trump you're claiming to have.

The most loving thing one can do for Trump is to hold him accountable. Too many people have enabled him over the years and he has gotten himself deeper and deeper into the mess we see now. To be someone's "yes man" is to help them destroy themselves.

Me, OTOH, I love people enough to tell them the truth...

Then start telling the truth.

even call them out.

Those call outs must be based on what is true.

 

[Calminian]

....I haven't "accused" anyone of mental illness. ...

Yes, I get it. And Comey didn't leak anything.

I have blocked an unblocked a couple of posters on this thread, because I didn’t need the grief, & it wasn’t Calminian. Let me reiterate a post I made in another thread: how can anyone who claims to be Christian, EVER support the party of killing babies, gay marriage, socialism & big brother government which is slavery by design? All dems stick together like glue when they get to dc, maybe they’re threatened, who knows, but that’s a fact, so you can’t justify voting for an individual, because they won’t be voting that way.

BaptistBeliever, you continue to preach, but you are never guilty, are you?! You called another poster, thatbrian, evil. He has not been back for awhile, probably doesn’t need the grief. I’m sure you’re pleased with yourself. Enjoy.

If this was directed toward me, let it be known that I am not, nor have ever been, a supporter of the Democratic Party.

All dems stick together like glue when they get to dc, maybe they’re threatened, who knows, but that’s a fact, so you can’t justify voting for an individual, because they won’t be voting that way.

I hear that from Republicans all the time, but I notice they pretty much do the same thing. With only a few exceptions, the Republican congress has walked in lock-step together.

BaptistBeliever, you continue to preach, but you are never guilty, are you?!

I am guilty sometimes, I'll readily admit that. Occasionally I get too frustrated with certain people and I take a break. I rarely post when I am angry or frustrated.

You called another poster, thatbrian, evil.

I had to use the search function and about 10 minutes of reading various things before I found what you are referring to.

Thatbrian had been using the term "soy boy" against people in a derogatory way, in the same manner as many of the white supremacists and militia folks use it, insinuating that persons who disagree with him are effeminate men. I called him out on that name calling. As part of that, I quoted Jesus who taught that one's words reveal their character. You decided to take it to mean that I was directly calling thatbrian evil, so I clarified that I think that thatbrian was doing evil with his words.

I stand by what I said, because it is what Jesus had to say about such situations. I make no apologies for that.

He has not been back for awhile, probably doesn’t need the grief.

I'm not sure if he is away voluntarily or if he was booted from the site.

I haven't voted for a Democrat since 1990 in the Minnesota gubernatorial election and he was pro-life.

On March 1, 2016, I went to the Minnesota Republican caucus and voted for Marco Rubio (Minnesota was the only state Rubio won.) Therefore I am A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN. When Rubio dropped out after he lost Florida I switched allegiance to Ted Cruz. I have posted this at least a half dozen times. I know for a fact that Calminian has seen these posts. Yet, time and time again he says I'm a liberal democrat. That I hate Trump. That I hate Trump's agenda. I don't hate either. I like and support most of Trump's agenda. I have posted many threads on this as well, and I know Calminian has seen them too. Still, I'm a liberal democrat, he says. It gets tiresome.

Appreciate the post and share the sentiments. James said if we know to do good but don't do it, we are in sin. This makes me think of those out there claiming to be pro-life, but never actually lifting a finger to help the unborn. They are no different than Obama, Hillary, etc. who also claim to be anti-abortion. Everyone is anti-abortion, if you believe them.

The big irony here is, if RvW didn't just threaten the unborn, but everyone on this board, they'd all be in the street with Trump signs and begging the rest of us to save them.

 

[Calminian]

... I switched allegiance to Ted Cruz. ....

Ted Cruz is pro-Trump. <mic drop>

 

[InTheLight]

Ted Cruz is pro-Trump. <mic drop>

And was Cruz a Trump supporter in 2016? No.
Was I a Trump supporter in 2016? No.
Am I a Trump supporter now? Yes. I support his policies, not the man personally.

 

[Calminian]

No he was not. He sounded like you in 2016 and has changed his tune considerably.

You have not changed. You sound like McCain or Jeff Flake. They also support his policies, but not him, and attack him every chance they get. That's you. That is not Ted Cruz. You are nothing close to Ted Cruz which is why I don't believe you support him.

Why would he be booted from the site? someone complain? I thought you should be booted for ‘going there’ with your ‘preaching’ attacks. If someone was going to turn someone off from religion.......................it’s always the holier than thou’s, just sayin.

 

[FollowTheWay]

Is this why the SBC chose to condemn the alt right? Just last week I heard the media pull out this ‘title’ for someone who ruined the liberal talking points. Trump has done more for the black community in one year than O did in 8.[/QUOT

That was a good move by the SBC but it didn't come easily.
"The fact it took nearly 24 hours to pass such a resolution clearly disturbed McKissic, however. "I think that today's vote will help to mitigate some of the hurt and some of the pain," he said, "because it's painful to watch people who tout biblical inerrancy and who tout the centrality of the Gospel have to deliberate over denouncing white supremacy."

I suppose that was far better than the 150 years it took for them to renounce slavery (1845-1995).

The darling of white evangelicals, Trump, never really rejected the support of the KKK or the Neo-Nazi's. The newspaper I quoted before is from G Britain. The world knows what kind of a man Trump is. So you claim he did more for blacks than Obama. Interesting. What has Trump done for blacks (with proof)?

 

[Baptist Believer]

I'm not a moderator, so I have no idea. I am not privy to those things. I know he was posting all sorts of extreme propaganda at one point and then he went silent. That usually means that they have been blocked.

I thought you should be booted for ‘going there’ with your ‘preaching’ attacks.

Feel free to report me as much as you like. There is a report button on every post. I'm happy to have a third party hold me accountable. What about you?

If someone was going to turn someone off from religion.......................it’s always the holier than thou’s, just sayin.

For me, it's the name callers, liars and hypocrites. I have known many in my day, most of them in person, not online.
