    President Trump is accused of committing fraud, his trial is still on going and so nothing has been decided yet as to his guilt or innocence. What is really going on here is election interference by the dems. The dems are afraid of him winning the next presidential election and so their strategy is to get him bogged down with unwarranted bogus charges that keeps him fighting for his innocence in court. Their strategy has seemed to backfire on them, I mean the more they charged him the more he gained popularity and support from the masses. He is way ahead in the polls against fellow republicans running for the presidency. He is also ahead in the polls against President Bidenomics, whom at the moment will be his political foe in the next election.

    He has not been convicted of sexually assaulting several women, and lastly there is no direct evidence that he plotted to overthrow the government. What really happened was not an insurrection as many on the left seem to believe but merely a protest of the election results because of all the shenanigans and improprieties done by the dems in the last presidential election that regrettably turned into a riot...big difference. President Trump is not responsible for the protest that turned into a riot among some of the protestors.

    I will continue later on to respond to the rest of your comments made, so stay tuned.

    Some of your statements are nonsensical in my view. So, if there is anybody that I should not take seriously in what they say at times it's you, mind you not all the time but at times or sometimes.

    Well, yeah, I can agree with you here for Scripture does say for those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.

    We Read in Scripture:

    Respect for Authority

    13 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. Romans 13:1 NLT

    So, Christians should respect authority, abide by the laws, pay their taxes, etc. However, there is only one exception when Christians are not to be subject to the governing authorities, this is when those governing authorities try to force Christians to contradict the will of God.

    As Christians we have a duty to disobey human authority if the alternative is dishonoring and disobeying God's law. Below is a short video from my favorite Christian Ministry that answers the question: "When is civil disobedience allowed for a Christian?"





    Ok, thanks dairy for your post.

    I already know that your faith in Trump is sufficient enough for you to excuse his every deed.

    You don’t need to waste your time with your response, I have read enough of your posts to know where you place your trust.

    You sound like one of those people who are suffering from TDS...the Trump Derangement Syndrome. You and many others are afflicted with this syndrome because you have been brainwashed to believe all the nonsense spewed out by the mainstream media outlets with their constant fake news regarding President Trump. Haven't you realized by now these media outlets are the mouthpieces for the dem party?...apparently not.

    President Trump had an overall successful presidency while serving us the American people as our 45th President of these United States of America. Because of his tough foreign policies there were no major wars going on during his presidency throughout the world. He displayed strength as seen by foreign countries and so they dared not to start any trouble with other countries because they feared President Trump's iron fist. It was the old peace through strength foreign policy he adopted from the great President Ronald Reagan who utilized this policy in the 80s when he was our President.

    And furthermore, our economy was robust and booming. We were energy independent and the leading exporter of crude oil in the world. Gas prices were a little over $2 a gallon on avg., inflation was kept in check. Interest rates were very low, getting a 30 yr. mortgage loan for a home was affordable for the millions of people who bought homes for the 1st time.

    Everything was fine and dandy until the country made a huge mistake and elected President Bidenomics to be our 46th President, then everything went to the dumps.

    Look around, can you say things are much better now than when President Trump was running the country?...the answer is no, because things are far worse now with President Bidenomics and his dems running the country.

    So, the truth is there is a growing movement among tens of millions of Americans, no matter who they are, what their beliefs are who are steering towards President Trump to support him if he becomes the Presidential nominee for the Republican party in the next Presidential election. Do you blame them? They had enough with President Bidenomics.

    I will continue later on DRI to respond to the rest of your comments made, so stay tuned.

    He made America Great Again why would I or anyone else for that matter excuse this great deed he had done for us? We owe him our respect and admiration for what he had accomplished in those 4 years as our 45th President of these United States of America.

    And don't worry about me, I'm not wasting my time responding to your comments, I mean the truth has to be put out to nullify your untruths that you spewed out with those comments of yours. Maybe you will be enlighted by it and realize how wrong you've been regarding our 45th President of these United States of America.

    Ok thanks DRI for your post, stay tuned for my responses to your remaining comments you've made.

    It is hard to imagine a less Christian president than Trump. So that you support him reassures me that you are not out for theocracy.

    Try President Bidenomics for starters. Have you disregarded all the crooked things he has done? You should start watching and listening to Fox News and not just the mouthpieces for the dems which is the mainstream media outlets like ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS...etc. You need to get fair and balanced news. Currently there is an inquiry for impeachment of President Bidenomics and so there is a strong possibility he will be impeached in the near future.

    Furthermore, the issue of abortion alone makes President Bidenomics less a Christian than President Trump. At least President Trump has shown he is not in favor of abortion for the most part while President Bidenomics and his dems support abortion, some of them so extreme that if they had their way they would abort/murder a baby right after the birth of the baby...so repugnant...so disgustingly evil!

    Well, let's be honest the United States of America is a nation dominated by Christian ideas and values. Although this is true the United States is not supposed to be a theocracy. The language in the Constitution makes this clear.

    This great country the United States is meant to be a place where anyone can practice whatever religion they want, or not practice at all, as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others and so we are indeed a country of diverse religious beliefs.

    Our founding fathers of this great country felt strongly about secularism in government and so they intentionally included language in the Constitution that separated church and state.

    So this great country has worked the way it is and so we should keep it that way. America is great but it can be greater. We the people of this country can make America greater again by electing President Trump or any other republican who wins the party's nomination to be our country's 47th President of these United States of America!

    President Bidenomics and his dems are weakening this country with their crazy nonsense woke agendas.

    Ok thanks my jolly good man for your post.

    I don't agree, but even if I grant that, I can't see how anyone could see Trump as remotely Christian. The man is clearly his own God. There must be dozens if not hundreds of Republican politicians who fit your Christian church values better than Trump.

    Again, I am reassured to see you pushing against theocracy.

    1. Not true. In the civil trial in NY the judge has already ruled that Trump and his sons and the Trump org are liable for committing fraud. The case that just finished with witness testimony is not about whether or not Trump and Co. committed fraud (that has already been decided) but about how much he has to pay.

    2. He has been found liable for sexual assault AND defamation resulting in a 5 million dollar judgement against him. He is still being sued (for basically the same thing) for MORE money.

    3. The charges he is facing in Florida are neither "unwarranted" nor "bogus". It boils down to three simple facts which have already been shown
    Trump had the documents
    Trump was not authorized to have the documents
    Trump refused to return the documents.

    Unless you can disprove one of those three facts then taken together those facts add up to on open and shut case of a violation of 18 USC 793(e)

    4. No improprieties nor shenanigans have been shown to have taken place in the 2020 election despite 60 court cases.

    Been through this .. No -- you don't know anything from God's spirit. Was sure we had this talk previously. You have no idea whether or not the Spirit guide whispering in your ear is from God or from God's agent Ha Satan .. so let us not pretend otherwise.

    and interestingly your "foolish Virgin" parable .. and the sheep and Goat one that follows .. no salvation by faith is the message .. but not to digress to far from the passage in which you are the star .. along with Matt 7 which we been over many times -those crying Lord Lord don't get in..

    do you think our good friend Ha-Satan .. Ruler of the Earth with Godly powers .. deception par excellence A number @UNO (1) dot com .. Is going to show up at the party in horns - breathing fire - with red cape ?

    Is that what we are talking about .. you really thought this Great Godly deceiver would be that stupid .. and hope to succeed at his trickery ? I don't think so.

    I know the difference. Clearly you do not know or you wouldn't say that one cannot know. Our Heavenly Father is our Heavenly Father. Satan is not. Why do you lend so much credit to the power of Satan to deceive, and none to our Heavenly Father to save or establish us in truth?

    "I know the difference" -- you say.. ?? and then ask why I doubt your claim that you can not be tricked by Lord Satan .... a powerful God according to Scripture .. Scripture that you quote .. a God- Son of God with power over the whole earth .. but you figure that you can tell the difference between a spirit guide coming from the most high .. or Ha Satan.

    Obviously you do not know the difference .. but I will tell you the difference .. so that you will know what you do not... Since God doesn't interfere in the affairs of men directly . any adjusting coming directly from Ha Satan or other Sons .. there is only one place the little voice is coming from . and that is from the Lord of the Earth ..

    The Christian Holy Bible is the sacred Book written by the Creator Almighty God; He is the author. Below is part of the preface from the 2004 NLT (New Living Translation Bible). After you read it, you will learn what Christians believe.

    God's Message
    The Bible is the most powerful book ever written. Countless lives have been changed by it. Numerous authorities have tried to ban it. Some godless people have burned it. And many Christians have died to preserve it. Why had this book had such a huge impact on people? Because this book, the Bible, is the very word of God. It came from God himself--he is the author. Over hundreds of years, he chose certain individuals to write down exactly what he wanted to tell humankind. This process is called "inspiration." One of Jesus' closest followers, Peter, wrote, "Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet's own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God" {2 Peter 1:20-21}

    Although these authors wrote in Hebrew or Greek, their words have been carefully translated into many languages. So today we can read God's message in our own language---modern English.

    God's Message for Today
    In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, the apostle Paul reminded his student, Timothy, that "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every work." This is still true today, even though the Bible was written hundreds of years ago. Its message is timeless, personal, and powerful because it comes from God. Millions have discovered that the Bible speaks to their deepest needs, and people from all over the world turn to God's word daily for words of comfort, encouragement, hope, inspiration, and guidance. There they find satisfying answers to life's most perplexing questions and difficult problems.

    The Bible, however, is more than just an answer book for life's problems. It is also made up of exciting adventures, inspiring stories, beautiful poetry, convicting messages, and the hope-giving life story of Jesus Christ.

    The Bible doesn't tell us anything about the Lord Jesus' youth other than what we read in Luke 2:41-52.

    Ok thanks JET for your posts.

    Islam believes in the Bible, too. Judaism is founded on the OT.

    Your religion is certainly not the only religion that accepts the god you believe in.

    We watched the Passion of Christ. It is so hard

    for those who insist on scientific evidence of Christ, you need to see the full examination of the shroud of Turin.
    Once you understand that Jesus of Nazareth is the son of God, God incarnate on this planet. Then you can understand the Holy Bible.
    Good to see you post brother Mitt

    No US court of justice would accept the shroud of Turin as evidence. Science might find that it was likely draped on a dead guy's face.

    Jesus is documented as a person who lived at the time by works other than the Bible. There are existing histories of Rome written at the time, for example. Tacitus is one.

    LOL!!!! LMAO!!!!! :roflol: :roflol: That's rich!!!! LOL!!! :roflol: :roflol: :roflol:


    There is no evidence for it. It's all an unsupportable myth based on belief. You know that's why it's called "faith", right?

    Well Happy Hiddly Ho to you too Mitt .. ! Have you come across any tough questions of late .. I got one for ya if you feel up to the task !? It relates to a post by Brother Todd .. talking about this son of "God" and understanding the Bible. Who is this God of Jesus .. .. as in which God is he son of.. what is the name of this God ?

    For in scripture we are told "Our Father - Hallowed be thy name"

    Do we know the hallowed name of the Father that Jesus is referring to .. this is extremely important to understanding of the Holy Bible is it not ?

    How come Christians eat animals?
    If the religion encourages that, in my view it has a problem with morality.

    The question from JET was "where is the book written by God?" Of which I answered him by saying it's the Holy Bible.

    Islam and Judaism doesn't accept/believe in the entirety of the Christian Holy Bible, furthermore the Qur’an was not written by God.

    Sorry but you're wrong. Christianity is the only religion that accepts/believes the Triune God, the Trinity, the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), the Holy Spirit.

    The Holy Bible nowhere specifically predicts the coming of Muhammad. Muhammad was not the prophet Moses predicted, nor was he the Counselor that Lord Jesus predicted. Since the message of Muhammad contradicts the message of Lord Jesus and the Holy Bible on many points, the only biblical prophecy that would apply to the coming of Muhammad would be from what we read in Matthew 24:11.

    We Read in Scripture:

    “And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people.…” Matthew 24:11 NLT

    Ok thanks Will for your post.

    No it isn't. If his name is holy by the saying of his Son the Christ, then that is sufficient to know. It is better to hear his voice in spirit and truth than to utter his name in vain. And to be prepared rather than prevented at his arrival. Remember the parable of the ten virgins? To parrot his Disciples isn't to stand with them in spirit and truth, but rather to deceive and pretend. If his Disciples point to him, then we should go to him to know, rather than stand with them pointing in kind towards that of which we are ignorant and don't know. One shouldn't trifle with the divine or the eternal welfare of ones own soul.
