At the end of the list the author states this:
"If you believe (as I do) that God is sovereign over the affairs of nations, do you think that Donald Trump’s presidency has been evidence of divine blessing or divine judgment? I admit that perceiving divine purposes in human events is a task that cannot be proved with certainty one way or another, but when I look over this list of 30 actions, it appears to me to be far more characteristic of divine blessing than of divine judgment. If others disagree, I respect your right to have a different opinion, but that is my view"
Uh, sorry, if God sent Trump, it was because he ran out of locust.
you guys like to keep pretending that 2020 didn't happen with the worst recession in 80 years, the worst epidemic in 100 years, and the worst civil unrest in 50 years. All of which you can link directly to Trump's gross mismanagement.
In my thread a leftwing democrat forum member went on to respond with Scripture about helping the poor. The inference there was that democrats help the poor and Republicans do not.
That is a common belief, and a total lie.
Who has heard the phrase, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life."
That would be awesome if people being taught to fish meant they got to keep the fish. Our system is we teach people how to fish, but the one percenters own the lake, and any of the fish you catch belong to them. They maybe give you a small slice of the profits they make when they sell the fish you catch.
Also, if you go through life only eating fish, you will die.... you will be missing key nutrients that you need to survive.
So, when it comes to helping the poor, Republican policies are best. A rising tide lifts all boats.
Under President Trump we reached the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years, and in case anyone forgot, Trump achieved the lowest Black and Hispanic unemployment rates on record. As I say, a rising tide lifts all boats.
Except Trump had very little to do with that. The unemployment rate had been declining since 2010. The bigger economic factor in the decline of the unemployment rate has been that the Baby Boomers started retiring in 2011, and there hasn't been enough Millenials to replace them. This has been a major driver for the inflation we are now having, as employers now have to offer premium wages to get workers. Trump's immigration policies have actually made that worse, as a lot of key industries rely on immigrant labor (Hospitality, Construction, IT) and can't get the bodies they need. And, nope, no one is going to teach people how to fish to do that.
And as for social issues like sodomy (gay marriage) and killing (abortion) etc., well we all know what God says about those.
Go with GOD and go with GOP
God also says we should murder people for working on Sundays, murder our daughters for not being virgins on their wedding nights, murder rape victims for not crying out,
God on the other hand, doesn't say a damned thing about abortion. In fact, quite the contrary, he calls for adulterous women to be murdered if they are impregnated by anyone but their husbands, and even tells the priest how to mix a magic abortion potion to detect adulteresses.
Num. 5: 11The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
Num. 5:12: Speak to the Israelites and say to them: If any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him,
Num. 5:13: if a man has had intercourse with her but it is hidden from her husband, so that she is undetected though she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her since she was not caught in the act;
Num. 5: 14 if a spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife who has defiled herself; or if a spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, though she has not defiled herself;
Num. 5:15: then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. And he shall bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembrance, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
Num. 5:16: Then the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD;
Num. 5:17: the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.
Num. 5:18: The priest shall set the woman before the LORD, dishevel the woman’s hair,
Num. 5:18 and place in her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering of jealousy. In his own hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse.
Num. 5: 19Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, “If no man has lain with you, if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be immune to this water of bitterness that brings the curse.
Num. 5: 20 But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has had intercourse with you,”
Num. 5: 21—let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse and say to the woman—“the LORD make you an execration and an oath among your people, when the LORD makes your uterus drop, your womb discharge;
Num. 5:22: now may this water that brings the curse enter your bowels and make your womb discharge, your uterus drop!” And the woman shall say, “Amen. Amen.”
Num. 5:23 Then the priest shall put these curses in writing, and wash them off into the water of bitterness.
Now, this is all manner of fucked up, which is probably why the Priests didn't tell you about it in Church. You have some poor woman who has been dragged into the temple, being accused, and they give her this magic potion, most women would probably miscarry out of pure stress.. after which she's probably be stoned to death.
There is nothing more pathetic, and yet entertaining, than watching a bunch of Godless freak Leftist baby-killers and promoters of sodomy (i.e. Democrats) try to speak about God. LOL
What is pathetic is that we are in the 21st century, and you are still groveling in front of an imaginary Bronze Age sky pixie.
So let me ask you this question.... if your "God" is the Supreme being, why do the majority of humans believe in something else?
