Corky,

He sounds like he's been dealing with people coming to him who had a harsh upbringing and/or a very harsh view of God perhaps from their church.

Again...I'm not interested in hearing about that perspective because I don't have that in my life and don't wish to pollute my mind with such negative thinking about God.

Corky,

"Oxford Chair and was an Anglican Bishop. Also a scholar of ancient history, including being considered the foremost in his field of Old and NT studies by other such scholars."

Then by your logic all Biblical scholars with established positions agree on everything since they all are experts.

Can you explain why they don't all agree?

Remember when you go to the doctor, someone got the lowest grade in his graduating class.

Back to my post #3, his 2 openly assertions were both bulls***.

You sure know how to pick em.

Corky,

"He is vile, a liar, a bully, a hater, a serial adulterer, an adjudicated rapist and a convicted Felon.... why is he your hero again??"

Strike 4....you still swinging?

He's not my hero.

As far as the rest of it...sort of a moot point now doncha think?

Corky,

Sounds like you're in the middle of spirtual warfare.

You seem to be fairly fixated.

On this earth, as a Christian, you need to be ever vigilant what evil ideas you let yourself get exposed to.

Corky,

"That quote is what he set up to knock down, duffus"

I could say, "We're often led to believe the moon is either a) made of cheese or b) inhabited by moon-men."

Now I'll made a video explaining why that's not true.

How about I don't waste my time watching the video?

Corky,

"The current biggest myth in America is that Trump is somehow a Christian"

Nope...I don't positively believe that either.

I'd replace is with may be.

As it stands I don't believe what you said is a true statement.

Strike 3.....you're out.

From the video introduction,

"We're often led to believe that God is either a) a long way away and disinterested in humanity or b) angry at humanity."

If that's his assertion he will be talking about in his video, I have no desire to watch it or know anything about this man.

I've never been led to believe either of them.

No wonder atheists are so confused about Christianity.

Laura,

You sure seem to like to read my posts.

Just sayin

Bell,

I agree Biden's pardons look much worse than Trump's.

Trump didn't cover up any crimes. Everything is out in the open and transparent.

Bidens's pardons have the appearance of being crooked and preventing cohorts from being charged.

What does Joe know?

Being immediate family members reeks.

I'm done with this topic.

Clown,

'Trump is what the Bible warns of.'

Same to you...unless you say you believe there will be a second coming, you shouldn't refer to the Bible for other things.

Fanatical kooks are nothing new.

Corky,

This is not the first time there are people predicting the end times or who is the anti-Christ.

Like I said, it makes you look kooky.

Corky,

Unless you say you believe there will be a second coming as ordained in the Bible, I'm not interested in anything you have to say on this subject.

Don't refer to the Bible to justify your opinion unless you accept it as divinely inspired by God.

Otherwise your argument lacks credibility.

Corky,

I didn't get to respond in a closed thread.

Yet one more thing wrong with some kooky Democrats.

Actually believing Trump is the Anti-Christ.

According to the Bible, he will unite people under a false sense of security and will deceive people with charisma and miraculous signs. Is that happening with Trump? I don't see people exactly united right now.

btw...since you are professing to believe in Biblical scripture, does that mean you believe there will be a second coming of Jesus?

I won't respond because I've already hi-jacked the thread.

Red,

Crazy times.

Wars, the economy in shambles, AI threats, and now the government admits UAPs are real.

Let's see...who would I prefer to see facing all this? Trump or Kamala Harris (and whoever has been pulling the strings the last 4 years)

Red,

"The panel in the first row of the inauguration control 100% of the US's social media."

You do realize what a threat AI is becoming to America's national security?

They aren't people to take lightly.

America has both a physical border and a digital border.

Here's a list of names I found and their company who sat up front. I hope the list is correct.

Elon Musk " CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter)

Jeff Bezos " Founder of Amazon and Blue Origin

Mark Zuckerberg " CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook)

Sundar Pichai " CEO of Alphabet and Google

Tim Cook " CEO of Apple

Shou Zi Chew " CEO of TikTok

Sam Altman " CEO of OpenAI

Dara Khosrowshahi " CEO of Uber

If they wanted to sit up on stage, Trump might have considered it. You might want to read up on what plans Trump has for AI development.

Anyone interest in my followup about my backyard tumble on ice where I landed on my back on ice on pavement. My head was surely just inches from the bottom cement step where I stepped off going away from from steps and I didn't have anything to grab onto. Had something in my hand so wasn't able to balance myself.

I'm going on a cruise in a couple of weeks and about 3 days ago I slipped in the backyard. Pretty disheartening.

That evening I was in horrible pain in my lower back to my neck and was unable to stand without being in terrible pain. Next day was better but still rough.

I started applying ice and heat alternating for a couple of days and I'm getting better quickly. Took Aleve.

Didn't hurt the spine...but I think probably bruised my entire back from my waist to shoulders. I smacked hard on ice on pavement.

Still hurts pretty good getting up from sitting or turning in bed...but my wife is really relieved we'll be able to go.

Corky,

I found this regarding your video claiming Trump is the Anti-Christ.

Denial of Jesus Christ
The Antichrist denies the Father and the Son, rejecting the core tenets of Christianity.
1 John 2:22 " "Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist "denying the Father and the Son."
2 John 1:7 " "Many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."
Trump: Has not publicly denied Christ.

Self-Exaltation
The Antichrist exalts himself above all that is called God, even declaring himself to be God.
2 Thessalonians 2:4 " "He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God."
Trump: Has not claimed divinity. It may actually be true God protected Trump the day he was shot at, as Trump said.

Performer of Miracles
The Antichrist will perform counterfeit miracles and signs to deceive people.
2 Thessalonians 2:9 " "The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie."
Revelation 13:13-14 " "And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people."
Trump: No miraculous signs or wonders associated with him.

Global Authority
The Antichrist will have control over every nation, tribe, and language.
Revelation 13:7 " "It was given power to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation."
Daniel 7:23 " "He gave me this explanation: 'The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it."
Trump: Limited to U.S. presidency; no global rule.

Laura,

"You know it's ironic that many a so-called Christian when they claim to be doing God's will is surprisingly what they want and not what the Bible tells them what He wants. Just sayin"

I think you're asking an honest question from the heart.

I can only say this.

Pray to God for yourself without letting other people hinder your way.

Don't let the actions of other people stop you from believing in the hope that comes from being forgiven in the name of Jesus.

Zed,

Come on...be honest.

You already had a deep dislike for Christians long before you heard about Trump.

Don't use him as a way to justify your hatred of Christianity.

I've seen that routine from believers who are losing their way too.

Disappointments make it easy to justify rejecting God.

Personally, I have been angry at God at times in my life.

I suspect God can handle it. It's when you stop being angry at God and become totally complacent you might want to step back and evaluate your direction.

Clown,

I regret putting that line in there.

It most certainly depends on the person if they are actively following "God's will".

Zed,

You still don't get it.

Authentic Christians believe Jesus is God.

Not themselves.

We believe we're doing God's will.

Zed,

He's been told all sorts of things I'm sure. He's heard things that would make your head swell.

However we voted for president, not Pope.

I don't know if Trumps been saved.

That's between him and God.

Corky,

The irony is all Christians are hypocrites for one reason or another.

It can't be helped. Christians believe in things that are unattainable on this earth.

But we're saved out of God's grace only because we allowed it to happen.

Corky,

Everyone who mocks Christ is evangelizing for satan.

Satan doesn't require you openly worship him.

Just mock those who do.
