He refuses to even use the word West Bank. He calls it the Judea and Samaria, which are its biblical designations" Here you can hear from Evangelicals themselves: https://harvest.org/resources/gregs-blog/post/israel-iran-bible-prophecy-update/ "The Bible has more to say. Not only will the Jews be regathered together in their homeland, but they will be increasingly isolated. That’s happening. The Bible also predicted the rise of anti-Semitism in the end times. That is happening. The Bible also predicts a large nation to the north of Israel, identified in Ezekiel as Magog, will attack her. That has not yet happened. Many scholars believe that Magog is a reference to modern-day Russia. I concur with that view, but no one can say with absolute certainty." |
If you do not understand the difference you are an Anti American POS Garbage utter garbage. Our military fought for our rights. READ THE CONSTITUTION over and over again you complete idiot. |
High on insults; low on explanations |
America has a very hands off / don't tread on me attitude towards authority. It is a legacy of throwing off the shackles of England. This anti-authority anti-government attitude is why it seems strange to present your ID when buying a train ticket or mass transit subscription. I think it seems strange because it's not a routine expectation here. But we routinely hand over our passports to get on a plane, ostensibly for other reasons, but also to verify we are who we are. And when you live in other countries, it's normal to hand over a lot of information for, say, leasing a place to live (another thing people don't do here). |
This anti-authority legacy is also another reason it's possible to "go off the grid" in the US or have a harem of Mormon sister-wives in the desert. Some mountain man with a shut-in family dealing ammunitions from the woods would just not be possible in other countries (see Ruby Ridge). |
Let me guess. Youve never read 1984. If you think the Trump folks are the gestapo now, wait until they implement what you are suggesting. Other countries dont have the same privacy protections or distrust of the government having access to such information. |

People care about what the media tell them to care about.
That’s why there were no protests at all when Obama was out deporting twice as many undocumented immigrants as Trump. And then Tom Holman was awarded a medal for his extraordinary achievement BY Obama. King Obama had no resistance in his effort to enforce immigration law. Christian or otherwise. |
High on stupidity; low on intelligence. |
Why did he have no resistance could it be he did it legally??? The Trump Administration has 90 violations for god's sake of not obeying court orders! |
Oh I dont know... Don't throw pearls before swine. Very Biblical I think |
A lot of stuff is Biblical if you consider that a lot of stuff written that was written down a long time ago is still good. |
The fact that the Federal Government under Obama was able to deport twice as many people while still respecting due process rights, and the right to seek asylum, and without deporting people to secret prisons, accidentally deporting citizen children including those with major health needs, shooting people, abducting school children outside of their school, using tear gas repeatedly, bringing out elderly people without letting them put clothes on first, or stopping food and childcare funding for American citizens in need, is a sign that this has nothing to do with deporting illegal aliens. So, what is it about? Is it about people getting their jones is through physical violence against people of color? Distracting us from the Epstein files? Job creation for white supremacists? Getting revenge on former vice presidential candidates by attacking what they care about (human rights for the citizens of their states)? What is it about, because it's clearly not about reducing the number of illegal immigrants. |
Everything Biblical is not good |
Some things are just common sense |
And, most of what is in the Bible makes no sense. |
