    i will vote for the candidate that best reflects the teachings concerning social justice. i have written before that an important metric of mine in judging administrations is their responses/treatment to the most marginalized of the society they have been entrusted to govern.

    vote for the truth.....it'll set you free. Donald Trump is as far from the truth as anyone could possibly be....faith should be truth based...anything else is false religion ...the snake will tempt you in the desert for as long as you care to listen to him.....

    That's personal in my view and not your business or mine

    Donald Trump ain't my pastor, and I ain't heard a peep out of ISIS these days.

    Trump has certainly had his checkered past. But, now that I think of it, so have I. As President Trump he certainly does appear to have a stable marriage, good kids, and all that, though. Who is he not honestly representing?

    a christian,
    Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them,
    “Why are you testing me?
    Bring me a denarius to look at.”
    They brought one to him and he said to them,
    “Whose image and inscription is this?”
    They replied to him, “Caesar’s.”
    So Jesus said to them,
    “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
    and to God what belongs to God.”
    They were utterly amazed at him.

    No, but I'd bet many on the left that want to take down Trump are, though. Haven't heard a peep out of them, either.

    Romans 13:1-2: Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished.

    the world is pretty much on virus lockdown....don't know if you've noticed but read up on recent activity in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Syria and see how calm they are....you want to talk about ISIS...it's your entry to the thread...yet you've said nothing about ISIS or foreign affairs concerning Islamic organizations in foreign countries...we have problems right here....don't read a lot about Mexican rapists either these days eh? I read Trump will try to bring all the troops home before November for a bump in the polls but trust me,,the polls are why he'll do it...not to protect you

    What I'm saying is, I heard Obama commenting on ISIS, ISIL, and the like almost ad nauseam during his administration. Lots and lot of trash. I'm certainly not saying those guys are going away by any stretch. The radio silence is deafening. Oh, and this has been long before COVID-19 hit center stage.

    is this the very same passage used to defend slavery? context, in the entirety, Paul's message is one of contempt, to resist within the law.

    Listen to what Obama has been saying for the last week....the dialogue is current and it's not about another country, it's about this one.

    America is a democratic republic. I doubt anyone voted in slavery.
