  1. By the sound of that, you could be a lot worse than Boges. You don't understand when a life begins with a human. And, it seems you don't understand when a human gets a soul. And, you must be sleeping when your science teacher was explaining "fertilization." From a Christian standpoint, a human gets a soul when his life begins. A human's life begins at fertilization. https://www.princeton.edu/~prolife/articles/embryoquotes2.html Fertilization happens when the sperm cell meets with, and fertilizes the egg cell. That occurs during a special event: the sperm race. Aren't we lucky we've got youtube! HOWEVER........ The condom prevents that race from happening. The buggers are blocked from entrance! With the entrance being blocked by the condom, there wouldn't be any sperm entering and meeting up with the egg cell. Without that meeting, there wouldn't be any fertilization happening. Without fertilization, there isn't going to be a human life created from it. And without a human life beginning, there wouldn't be any soul, either. Therefore.......there are no souls getting snuffed by the condom! That's a real simple explanation, eyeball.
  2. Where does it says "Jesus would have certainly supported a very rich man that objectified women. Except he says the exact opposite." Surely you're not saying only rich men objectify women? What do rich men have a lot of? MONEY! Wealth! Boges, Jesus was simply explaining why it's harder for rich folks to enter the kingdom of heaven. Btw, don't edit the verses and cherry-pick the lines you want to use. You can take it out of context when you do that - you can even find and quote a line that says, "there is no God" - but of course, it's taken out of context. Here's the full verse about that: Mark 10 The Rich and the Kingdom of God 17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’[d]” 20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” 21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. 23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” Now, now, now.....don't cherry-pick a line there and say Jesus wants the rich to sell all they've got and give everything to the poor - that's the fave rebuttal used by socialists. That would be nice indeed.....but that's not what Jesus is really saying here. I'm not an expert on Christianity, but unlike you........ I'm not totally ignorant about it. I'm studying it. Big difference. Anyway, if you want to continue this line of discussion about Trump and Christianity - go to Argus' thread in Religion. It's been explained clearly in that thread why a lot of Christians support Trump. Let's not further derail this thread.
  3. Leaders of nations see things differently than regular people. You go on as much as you want - your opinion is hollow anyway, since you've demonstrated you don't understand Christianity. Democrats are exploiting DACA for their own interest! http://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/369780-the-democrats-daca-scam
  4. "Hyprocrisy to you".....because you don't understand what you're on about. Now you're talking about something else. Whom are you referring to that are being kicked out because they're brought here illegally? Yoooo-hoooooo? We're talking about Trump in the USA! You're babbling!
  5. You're still missing the point about forgiveness. Trump's base stance on free healthcare and access to birth control has nothing to do with forgiveness in the Christian context! You're the one who brought up Christianity in your argument, and I'm simply showing that you don't know much about Christianity. Don't invoke and use something you don't understand. It usually comes around like a boomerang.
  6. I'm not interested about how many signatories there are, or what positions they've held. I'm simply pointing out that one of them is Stephen Harper.
  7. (Double checked). You're right. I was wrong. I was relying on the comment by one of the pundits at Power Play yesterday. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/erin-weir-caucus-ndp-1.4646224 They're talking about the confusion on the so-called findings against Weir. What does this suppose to mean? https://globalnews.ca/news/4184251/erin-weir-expelled-from-ndp-caucus-after-investigation-into-harassment-complaints/ They're not really buying it. Thus the pundit made a comparison with Moore.....and supported the views of the vet soldier that had it been that the soldier is female and Moore is male, they speculate this will be treated differently. What non-verbal cues? Can anyone give an example? To hell with so-called non-verbal "cues." You're not interested? Spell it out! Say it!
  8. And we're brutally the very same way to an unborn human being! An INNOCENT! Have you seen how the innocent fetus is being ripped and torn up inside the womb? Never mind how they mete out punishment for their criminals! If they have capital punishment, that's not your business.
  9. So, who do you think does the forgiving of sins? People? Better not use Christianity as your argument since you're ignorant about it.
  10. There's something seriously dysfunctional with a mentality that tries to be indignant over adulterous affairs........ and yet, condone and support the discriminatory murder of the defenseless, unborn human being............. and protect and cheer on negligent/irresponsible attitudes that causes the rise of STDs. It never occurs to them that just by using a condom.......... could save a lot of people from both.
  11. I suppose a lot of evidence will be on their text messages and emails.
  12. The investigation is on. Right now, for me it's a matter of "he says-she says." However, the double standard being practiced by Jagmeet Singh is obvious. Christine Moore had conducted a press conference (talked to the press), despite the fact that the allegation is under investigation - that's the very reason Weir was kicked from caucus. And yet, Moore is still around. Jagmeet Singh had given a stupid statement before - "You have to believe survivors." He forgot to add........."women survivors." If this is the way Jagmeet Singh practice his leadership - we can see that there is a serious problem with his sense of judgement. If you're a male against a female.....you won't get a fair shake with him. This is something men should take very seriously.
  13. Get a grip. Irresponsible attitude, is what result in more abortions, more dead women.......and the spread of STDs! Education is useless on people who prefer to be stupid!
  14. How do you know the statement about McCain was meant to mock, and not simply a blunt statement of a fact in the political arena?? Was it stated as a deliberate insult and mock, like "The Basket of Deplorables," by Hillary Clinton? "You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables." (Laughter/applause) "Right?" (Laughter/applause) The statement about McCain does sound insensitive, and may be in poor taste (I'm only speculating here since I was not there to witness with my own eyes how it was really said, and in what context).....but, is that a crime? What was said in that room, should've just stayed in that room. That way, McCain need not have to hear about it. But he know now. Why? Because some insensitive and self-serving moron had decided to use it, and leaked it to the media! If you believe Jesus is Lord, then you shouldn't condemn! If you believe Jesus is Lord, then you shouldn't pass judgement on people about their sins - especially when you merely speculate that he's still committing adultery! If you don't know for a fact that he's still committing adultery - and you're making it seem that he is - then you're bearing false witness against him! If you believe Jesus is Lord, then you should know very well about sins being forgiven! And most importantly,........you shouldn't be a liberal who support and promote the agenda of Satan!! One thing I do know, you make a good example fo what I said earlier: But, I'm noticing though........that those who hate him, are quite so touchy. It doesn't take much to get them foaming and babbling. Gotta say it.........Trump drives some people nuts.
  15. What's wrong with being happy about what's written? Who's talking being cool, and brain cancer? What's that got to do with what I posted?
  16. Family blowing up together - including their own children. That's something new in the Islam world of Indonesia. Just like the knifing, and the van attack - I suppose, that too, will be coming our way.
  17. Morally corrupt? That's your opinion. But, I'm noticing though........that those who hate him, are quite so touchy. It doesn't take much to get them foaming and babbling. No, it's not a cause for celebration....but, who's celebrating? I'm merely pointing out that his approval rating is rising.
  18. Just for the sake of "empowering" women, Pro-choice supporters turn a blind eye......cheering on irresponsible behaviours by those who also spread STD. It's kinda like saying....... "Keep up the good work!"
  19. On forming a coalition: https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/ontario-liberals-and-ndp-says-it-s-too-early-to-decide-on-possible-coalition-1.3927679 yada-yada-yada.........in the end, Horwath's saying that forming a coalition with the Liberals is not out of the question! Oh.....seasoned politicians do have a way spinning around voters, eh? Never mind this double talk! We need real change! They're spitting out the same things! Horwath and Wynne are both from the same old same old. Boy, if ever they form a coalition - just imagine having these two in a majority position!
  20. In other words.....you're telling me that you follow Jesus - whom you believe to be a myth and borrowed from the myth of Dionysius. I'm basing it on your post, giving the video by Timothy Freke as your rebuttal. Duly noted. To each his own. I hate long goodbyes. Ciao.
  21. You most likely will not understand the rebuttals anyway. Just look at your response to the explanation about rendering to Caesar! If you believe Jesus is a myth - why the heck do you quote what He said?? Why would His statement be of any importance to you? Why does the meaning of that statement bother you? Do you see anyone bothered by a statement - like, quoting Jason (of the Golden Fleece) and asking what he meant - and when the explanation is given - come back saying Jason and the Golden Fleece is myth???? Anyway..... First things first. You mentioned getting educated. Have you? Have you done your homework about your own religion? Do you now know that as a Gnostic Christian, you have to believe in the supernatural? Btw, what do you understand by the term supernatural? Didn't you get that we've been done right after you confessed to being a Gnostic Christian? It shows how much you know.....or, let's say how much you don't know. Heck, you can't even tell when you've been waved bye-bye to! And you refer to me as brain-dead? I'm not here to listen to bs. Bye already. Sayonara. Adios. Auf weidersehen. Bedrood. Au revoir.
  22. I'm not talking about what spiritual means! I'm pointing out your own comment about the supernatural! This one: You mock me for believing in the supernatural.....and yet, as a Gnostic Christian, you have to believe in it too! So, either you're lying about being a Gnostic Christian, or you're ignorant of your own religion! In both cases, you don't have the credibility. Go and learn something about your own belief! Stop wasting my time.
  23. He's more than an idiot! He's a very dangerous idiot. https://nypost.com/2017/12/18/obama-protected-hezbollah-drug-ring-to-save-iran-nukes-deal/ Trump is right about that Iran nuke deal! It's bad for the USA.....and to the world. To hell with what other nations say - they're all the same shade as Obama! They all drink the same kool-aid.
  24. There must be something good to gain for the USA if Trump is going to meddle with Iran, after all looks like he's doing things as a businessman, not as a politician. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/04/09/a-saudi-princes-quest-to-remake-the-middle-east Saudi Arabia isn't as big a threat as Iran. Furthermore, the last time I heard, Saudi Arabia is coming around fast.......thanks to Trump. https://www.thenational.ae/world/gcc/year-in-review-mohammed-bin-salman-drives-rapid-change-in-saudi-arabia-1.691556 Women are now allowed to drive. Heck, they even got their cinema opening up - which was banned since the 80's.
  25. A soft side of Trump.  Not much was said about this. 

     

    "President Donald Trump spoke Friday with the parents of American college student Otto Warmbier, who last summer died after 17 months in captivity in North Korea, offering emotional support ahead of his planned summit with dictator Kim Jong Un.

    The President offered a warm message to the family during their conversation, according to sources familiar with the call, the latest in his administration’s personal outreach. Otto’s parents, Fred and Cindy Warmbier, have sued North Korea in federal court, charging the Kim regime “brutally tortured and murdered” their son.

    The call comes as Trump has offered hints that three other Americans who remain prisoners in North Korea could be freed as part of the summit preparations."

      The message:  "Hey Warmbier's, don't rock the boat".

      That message could've come from anyone in Trump's inner circle.  It was something that Trump personally reached out to them.  And, what had happened to Otto shouldn't be cast aside.  It must be so painful for the Warmbiers to watch the unfolding event.....
