    I think that those that voted for him had high expectations of him. Even those that didn't vote for him seem to not be pleased with some of his actions and decisions. Don't really know that very many when they think of him, think Christian role model.

Constantly tells me that I am misinterpreting the most simplest and straightforward of scriptures without giving a scripture that shows the context and sometimes enters a thread saying how he already proved me wrong in other threads so no need to comment further and will not post a link to said thread. Would be more honest to just admit to having not read the Bible as it is irrelevant to him and his beliefs. As I said, I know I am just supposed to walk away. Even Jesus said to wipe the dust off of your feet and to turn the other cheek and such but I am not fully following the scriptures as I should be at the meeting today and I should be looking for honest hearted individuals in the door to door ministry rather than wasting my time arguing with the same people that don't care what ...    less

Therapy would be a good thing for those willing but if not you think that punishment just makes things worse? It would seem that to ignore it that perpetrators would keep perpetrating. There are usually consequences for much of what you mentioned though not necessarily punishment from someone else.Depending on the lie, there might be consequences beyond a guilty conscience like distrust of a close friend or spouse. Stealing and cheating may have consequences beyond conscience if caught by the law, spouse or whatever. I think the time of bullies being brushed off as just 'boys being boys' has been around long enough to show it should be dealt with by someone. Envy without action likely just your disturbed conscience no punishment necessary.My opinion anyway.   less

If that inspired this question and you were offended by it, I'm sorry, as that was not my intent.

    QUESTION 4
    Has All Life Descended From a Common Ancestor?

    Darwin thought that all life might be traced to a common ancestor. He imagined that the history of life on earth resembled a grand tree. Later, others believed that this “tree of life” started as a single trunk with the first simple cells. New species branched from the trunk and continued to divide into limbs, or families of plants and animals, and then into twigs, all the species within the families of plants and animals alive today. Is that really what happened?

    How Daniel’s Prophecy Foretells the Messiah’s Arrival




    THE prophet Daniel lived more than 500 years before the birth of Jesus. Nevertheless, Jehovah revealed to Daniel information that would make it possible to pinpoint the time when Jesus would be anointed, or appointed, as the Messiah, or Christ. Daniel was told: “You should know and understand that from the issuing of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Leader, there will be 7 weeks, also 62 weeks.”—Daniel 9:25.
    To determine the time of the Messiah’s arrival, first we need to learn the starting point of the period leading to the Messiah. According to the prophecy, it is “from the issuing of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem.” When did this “issuing of the word” take place? According to the Bible writer Nehemiah, the word to reb...    less

    Putin Signs Measure Revoking Religious Freedom: ‘Most Restrictive in Post-Soviet History’

These anti-terrorist laws are some of the most restrictive laws in post-Soviet history.”
    The new law, which goes into effect July 20, is actually an amendment to a package of laws against terrorism and extremism approved by the Russian Parliament’s upper chamber. As a result of the legislation, faith sharing in homes, in the media, online, or any place other ...    less

It would seem that to ignore it that perpetrators would keep perpetrating. There are usually consequences for much of what you mentioned though not necessarily punishment from someone else.Depending on the lie, there might be consequences beyond a guilty conscience like distrust of a close friend or spouse. Stealing and cheating may have consequences beyond conscience if caught by the law, spouse or whatever. I think the time of bullies being brushed off as just 'boys being boys' has been around long enough to show it should be dealt with by someone. Envy without action likely just your disturbed conscience no punishment necessary.My opinion anyway.   less
