I researched history of media and presidents and all the way back to George Washington presidents have had to deal with fake news.

No President likes the free press because it keeps reigns on their presidency. Yes, there have been times in history when the press has been shadier than others, but today we are able to compare news stories and sort through information. The really problem is when consumers only want to hear news that supports their worldview and refuse to do any research.

What are you saying now? That I ask Jesus if He would go to the cross, then tell Him he too is ridiculous? Did you just compare Jesus to the beast/antichrist and Trump?
No you just judged God for associating with the likes of Trump and Hitler in His plan for good, and called Him ridiculous.
My point is that it is only Jesus we are to follow and should lead us, how can you compare that to beast/antichrist and Trump?

Jesus is the exception, compared to all of them...don't you agree?
Jesus is exceptional indeed, but your point is not biblical.

I agree. I just started a thread where I will be posting false information, photo shops, and false testimony.

I have not stated my hatred here in writing. I never said I hated the man; on the contrary, I stated I have prayed for him to ask God for forgiveness of his sins. That is not hate...

I never once said I hate him, not once!

You must hate me, if you think that I hate someone I stated I don't hate. I plainly state I don't hate the man - I prayed for him!!!!! Praying for someone is not hate!!!
Your actions say otherwise. I just pointed it out. And, no, that makes you the accuser, not me.

And now that I am having to repeat the obvious, I will stop.

I am sure you will see people falling in line with their own beliefs when they read what is posted regardless of truth or fakery.

No I didn't "judge God" Scott, another false statement from you. I stated that Christians shouldn't follow the likes of Hitler and Trump, and the beast/antichrist. Do you think a Christian should follow Hitler?

Jesus is exceptional indeed, but your point is not biblical.

Yes it is, my point is that God will raise up the beast/antichrist, and Christians are not to follow the beast/antichrist. That is very biblical, especially since God says for Christians to not take the "mark of the beast" the beast forces his worshippers to take.

Hi Aspen,

Can you provide a third-party check to some of the questions I've been asking:

-Is it hateful to pray for someone?
-If someone says they don't hate someone, is prayer for the person proof that the person doesn't hate that person?
-Should a Christian follow Hitler?
-Should a Christian follow the beast/antichrist?

I'd really appreciate it if you took a few minutes to respond to my above questions. No biggie if you don't want to though.

I am talking obvious....just posted a pic of Trump and Epstein and daughter Trump...Fake...photoshopped.
Yet it was posted as real and the intent of the post is obvious to smear Trump.
This kind of stuff needs to be exposed because the real problem is this is the enemy spreading lies and creating more division.
We as Christians should be responsible about what we post from the web.

1. I guess it depends on what you are praying for - personally, I am praying for Trumps impeachment and removal from office so that can be viewed as hateful by ever-Trumpsters

2. I think praying for a person is mostly an act of kindness.

3. I think Hitler was a bad person. I am not sure how many people knew it at the time. From what we know about him today, I cannot imagine a sincere Christian following Hitler

4. Nope. That is really the crazy making part because the Bible talks about how the nations will be fooled into following the AntiChrist and that Christians must resist. Yet, Christians cannot even resist Trump!

But you are already showing your bias.

Thanks for the response; I really appreciate it.

As for question #1, to be more specific in my question:
1. Is it hateful to pray for someone else to come to Jesus and ask forgiveness of their sins.

Thanks again. I agree with all of your answers.

No I think it is kind as long as it is not out of pride or manipulation

Says the one who started this hateful thread.

Perhaps you would now like to go and help your fellows did a deeper hole.

Nothing hateful about it, Scott

No I am not....I have invited anyone to debunk and fact check any link or picture no matter what it's about.

Ok so you are going to show examples of fake news on FOX and One America News?

I am not biased...a lie is a lie....and the enemy is behind it.

Not sure if that answers my question. If you mean that fake news can be found across the board, I agree.

If you mean that the enemy only attacks conservatives because liberals are his buddies who he uses to carry out his attacks than we will have to disagree.
