Even if they are part of your family, you must cut off all contact with them.

I don't cut them off, but I do avoid them like the plague. And I certainly don't entertain deep conversations with them. I walk away if at all possible.

Foo, we are looking at the same half-full glass from different perspectives and coming to totally different conclusions.

You look at Trump and see someone who has had no revelation, works no miracles, is faithless, unrepentant, ungodly in character and conduct, does not honor God, and is aligned with the purposes of Pharoah rather than Moses.

For my part, I cannot say that God has not revealed Himself to Donald Trump, I am not privy to his private and personal interactions with God.. I cannot say that he is faithless and does not honor God, I do not know his heart. I do see him stand daily against the radical left who I truly believe is aligned against the purposes of God. I also see him surround himself with Godly advisors who seem to trust him.

On the other hand, I see a deeply flawed man who is proud and arrogant and often acts in ways that are unrefined and not seemingly Godly. I, myself have been guilty of similar behaviour, but I know that God forgives me and loves me.

We have the benefit of the final word on the great men in the Bible through Scripture. We know of their personal struggles with God and the final outcomes of their lives. We do not know the same for Donald Trump. I will reserve judgement and hope and pray that God uses him (willingly or in spite of himself) to the benefit of this nation.

Foo, I understand what you are saying, but...

If you were in ancient Egypt and you had to choose who you would follow, would it be Moses or Pharoah? I kind of think we are in a similar situation.

Also, the question could have been asked more succinctly.

the clown in the pic

Think about doing us all a favor and get another sig pic. Let that piece of shite rot in hell and be redacted from all memory. Your little inside joke is not funny enough to the rest of us.

As an aside, My long-deceased father-in-law witnessed Guevarra's execution. He was an exiled Cuban who had helped hunt him down in South America. He said that Guevarra cried and squealed like a little baby from the time he was caught until the time they executed him. Told them he would help them get Castro if they let him live. He was a total chicken-shite and a coward.

Lose the picture, dude, or be accountable for it.

Che Guevara was a chicken-shite human being and a coward and deserved to die like he did. Anyone who would display his image in any way is no different.

You will get yours one day, pal, I'm quite sure.

I’m not sure how you beat a highly motivated, ideological opponent.

---

By propagating and feeding a different highly motivated ideological opponent to replace it, One that is more compatible with your own values. If those values are more worthy, you usually are successful.

Kind of like what the left hopes to do in America. Their "values", however, are self-destructive.

Thank God.

Do you remember when you were a kid and you made an ugly face? Your mom told you that if you didn't stop immediately the wind would change direction and you would have to wear that ugly face for the rest of your life. That's what has happened to these people.

The wind has changed and God has hardened their hearts. They will never be able to change and it's going to drive them to utter misery.

See ball

---

I do not understand why coaches teach hitters to think so much at the plate.

Relax and clear the mind, see the ball. Swing the bat instinctively based on what your eyes see and relate to your subconscious mind. Too much use of the conscious mind gums up the works and slows things down.

A good and effective swing is absolutely necessary, but learning to really see the ball is the secret of good hitting.

quote:

---

Empathy is a good thing. Jesus has it for us and we are to have it for other human beings, image-bearers of God.

---

While Jesus commanded us to be as "gentle as a dove" as we went out into a world of wolves, we are also required by scripture to be responsible with our own lives.

Jesus also commanded us to be as "shrewd as a serpent" when we dealt with a world full of evil men.

While God is Love, He is not only love and forgiveness. He is also Justice.

A steadfast father is the best defense.

But solid Christian faith is even more important.

There is no Karma

I disagree.

We call it "Karma",

God calls it, "You reap what you sow."(2 Corinth. 9:6, Prov. 22:8, Luke 6:38)

Just because we have a different name for it doesn't mean it is not truth. All truth is God's truth.
