Hi JLB
5 States all simultaneously stopped election count until further notice as Joe Biden was hundreds of thousands of votes behind.


Then the next morning all 5 States reported that during the night, (when the election counting had ceased) Joe Biden was ahead and won all five states!!!
Yes, one would have to be a pretty gullible idiot to believe that's the truth of what happened. Pres. Biden won in those 5 states because more people voted for him than for Grump. That's actually been proven, but hey, why let silly things like facts get in the way of a good lie?

God bless,
Ted
 
I never said hate, I said disparage. You are projecting this "cult" onto people who disagree with you and claiming its antichrist. Its just a stand in and thought ending cliche to avoid the discussions with people that disagree with you.

This is one of the main reasons I stopped supporting a local youth group a few years ago. The youth pastor running it molded the political views of the youths and created a narrative against anything that ran counter to that said narrative.

Your house isn't leaking because you need new shingles, its the vile liberal leftists doing witch craft at you. Then a deluge of bible verse.

There is no "leftist cult" there are people with varying disagreements with you.
I didn't project onto anyone. I cited the scripture and the reason why leftism, which rejects the teaching of those scriptures is antichrist.

It is antichrist because Christians are preaching those beliefs.

A leftist atheist isn't an antichrist, he doesn't leave the church. He is just a leftist.

Only former Christians who adopt the doctrine that contradicts "what we heard" taught by the apostles, can be "antichrist."

18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. (1 Jn. 2:18-19 NKJ)

Just to be clear, when I was radical leftist...I wasn't an "antichrist".

Leftism is a philosophy, a political position. I consider it a cult because reality must be redefined for it to be "true".

But leftism is not antichrist.

Only Christians (former) can be antichrists, when they preach contrary to the doctrine taught by the apostles:

18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
(1 Jn. 2:18-24 NKJ)

Its odd someone who doesn't believe in God come here to post anti-Trump material. But it does explain distaste for a man who did more for Christians than the last 10 presidents combined.

There is no such thing as leftism. Mainly because there are way too many ideologies "left" of Trump that all believe vastly different things. Leftism is just short for not a Republican.

It can mean whatever you need to whenever. For some reason you support Trump, I have seen you repeat multiple talking points that circle around Trump promoters.

What is it about Trump that makes you think he is good for this country, and what would it take for Trump to loose your support?

Trump accomplished lots, by Executive Order. Biden undid most of it, if not all, by Executive order. Under Trump, gas cheap, inflation low, no war. Under Biden, gas expensive, inflation high, war.

You said you were a radical leftist? What kind? Were you A Communist? An Anarchist? A Social Democrat? A Democratic Socialist? A Centrist?

What did you believe?
Marxist leaning, antiwar, pro anything "freaks" stood for. I was young, high and ready to rock and roll. It was fun, but then I read the Bible. Cover to cover, couldn't stop...then read it again. Got saved via a Radio Baptist Minister, never looked back.

Because I study scripture, words became important. Interpretation became important. Following the intent of the author became important.

That is antiprogressive, considered "regressive" by the left. To them, words are living, breathing, the meaning changes over time. So "marriage" that for 6,000 years or so, could now be used for homosexual unions. That's great progress to a leftist.

But to me its dangerous. Words protect my rights to free speech in the constitution. If they can be redefined to fit current values, I don't have any protection. Formerly protected speech can be declared illegal. Words protect my property. But if their meaning can be changed, my property can easily belong to the state.

Leftism is therefore dangerous to anyone not a leftist.

Why did you "like" the "Uncle J's" Atheist denial that God exists, that He is a figment of imagination?

I read your posts, and you claim to be a Christian. I never read his, or cared to. Evidently he's an Atheist.

But why would YOU "like" an Atheist insulting God, denying He exists, is only a figment of someone's imagination?

Executive orders are always band aids. That is why we have congress. Trump was horrible at utilizing congress. If Trump used Congress then his plans could not be overturned day one by another president.

Also Trump had averagely high gas until the Pandemic hit and gas fell through the floor, mainly because everything was shut down so no one was buying it. That is economics 101. Inflation hit 7% under Trump and is now down to 4%. Also we are not at War, Trump almost drug us into 2 wars with his bombing of both Syria and his shenanigans on the Iraq/Iran border to get Solemani. It was so bad congress had to take his ability to launch missiles away.

And here we have this thing called interpritation. I saw it as someone projecting their personal views onto Jesus. I took it as a joke about ego.

I have clearly stated in the past that I'm Agnostic with a Christian background. Do you want to pull up a post where I said I was Christian?

No. Clearly I misunderstood. That explains a lot. Thanks for making that clear.

I think what's even more odd are Christians energetically supporting Trump, a person who epitomizes so many of the sins Christ spoke against (especially the love of money).
 

Former Trump adviser Navarro convicted of contempt of Congress


WASHINGTON, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump's trade adviser Peter Navarro was found guilty on Thursday of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House of Representatives committee that investigated the 2021 attack on the Capitol.

A 12-member jury convicted Navarro on two counts of contempt after he refused to testify or turn over documents to the Democratic-led House panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 riot by Trump supporters and broader attempts by Trump, a Republican, to reverse his 2020 election defeat.

Navarro, a hawk on China policy who advised Trump on trade issues during his presidency and also served on the COVID-19 task force, became the second close associate of Trump to be convicted for spurning the committee. Steve Bannon was found guilty last year of contempt of Congress for similarly defying a subpoena and was sentenced to four months in prison. Bannon is now appealing the conviction.
 
I think what's even more odd are Christians energetically supporting Trump, a person who epitomizes so many of the sins Christ spoke against (especially the love of money).
Trump does good with the money he earns, proving he is not in love with money, he spends it for good of others, his family and to grow his businesses.

Christianity is very compatible with capitalism, self interest that causes people to serve others, and produce products that serve humanity, improve their lives.

Socialism is theft of wealth supposedly to benefit the poor, but not one socialist country has failed to give the lions share of the wealth they stole, to the people. The people became so impoverished in the Soviet socialist Republic, and China, that they incorporated Capitalism because its the most proven way to elevate people from poverty, and deliver high standards of living to everyone
 
I think what's even more odd are Christians energetically supporting Trump, a person who epitomizes so many of the sins Christ spoke against (especially the love of money).
Christ was a carpenter, Peter and other disciples fishermen, Paul a tent maker. They sold their products for money. Its called honest labor, and its "self interest" (not greed or love of money) when you labor to support yourself, your family and do good in the community.
