But you know what gosh darn it, somehow Trump slipped past Hillary when she wasn't looking and ...[text shortened]... n in 2024 or 2028... or 2032.
Hey, it could start happening again...we just need to be patient.
Well off topic.
When you are losing take a different turn eh?
Your rhetoric is banal, your knowledge woeful and you are just plain dumb.
And you support Trump? ... No surprise.

Bet you love "cleaning up the streets"
or do you actually clean up the streets?
Originally posted by @lemon-limeYep. I enjoy reading the KJV, but study with the original languages, consider history, culture and context context context, then apply a health dose of God given common sense.
In the original language the word translated as 'kill' is closer in meaning to 'murder'.
As much as I enjoy the language and writing style of the KJV it does contain some translation blunders. For example the word 'witchcraft' only appears once in the new testament, but the actual meaning (in the original language) pertains only to drugs and the use of drugs.
Curiously though, divegeester seems to not know what the Bible teaches as evidenced by the fact that he has to ask what Biblical truth is related to any given subject.

Are you taking private tutorials from FMF?
The similarity is that they are both sane and rational.

Apparently "In the beginning God created..." is too complicated for you.

Originally posted by @wolfgang59Yes, I left the 'topic' you brought up claiming people in the US are not sent to prison for using excessive force. If you had been paying attention you would have seen me saying the best I could hope for if I use excessive force would be a charge of manslaughter (prison sentence). So you are either lying, woefully ignorant or unable to engage in reasonable debate over a topic you introduced to this thread.
Whoa.

You introduce a topic for the purpose of attacking US Christians and then troll anyone who disagrees with you. And now you're crying foul because I left the topic you yourself refuse to reasonably engage in. So you are either lying, woefully ignorant or inept... take your pick.

Keep your Bible closed and dusty from non-use to rationalize such a complaint. Otherwise you might notice that the most important things the Bible tells us are repeated in many different ways at many different times.
If you fail to grasp the point of Genesis 1:1 the basic truth of the concept is repeated many additional times elsewhere in the word of God.

Right. Simple is too complicated for you.
