Sure brother, feel free to comment on anything I’ve written here and explain why you think it is wrong. It would be nice though, if you could refrain from ‘arguments’ such as “I got my intel directly from God”. While I respect your personal religious experiences, this kind of killer-argument...

Yes, I got that you want to deport people, who came to the US as kids illegally through no fault of their own, spent pretty much their entire life in the US and know no other place to call home. It’s painful to see such lack of compassion in a fellow-Christian. But as I said, other Conservative...

If I believe the Bible, it’s nations that failed to practice righteousness that ceased to exist because God’s wrath was on them. Also I can think of countries that only exist because people operated according to the Sermon On the Mount. These people’s non-violent resistance brought down the...

It so happens that you live in a democracy. You're able to decide which laws you deem better than others. To make Daca-recipients the pawn in the game for a silly wall, the sense of which even Republican politicians near the border don't see, is a moral decision Americans can support or not...

Maybe God created us with imperfections because He is true Love and true Love will love others in spite of their imperfections, it will even love its enemies and it will be willing to suffer for those that it loves. I’ll give you that I’m still Lutheran, because when I became old and educated...

" ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7...

Actually I’m a Lutheran because I happen to have been born into a German Protestant family and that is the religious tradition I grew up with. I became a Christian because God granted me an experience of personal conversion when I was about 4 years old. I don’t think I had any choice in the...

Well, what can I say? Can’t argue with a prophet, can I?

*irony on* spoken in the true spirit of Christ. We all know He preached social darwinism. *irony off*

Apparently you don’t care about facts and the commandment not to bear false witness against thy neighbour, nor do you care about compassion for “the least of those”.

Praise the Lord! I was just about to have my petty European prejudices about American conservative Evangelicals confirmed by you. But then I went on a google search for the information you either miss or willingly ignore. Not only did I find this link which shows that “a total of 1.3 million...

Triumph 1300 was explicitly talking about "the so-called “Dreamers”, i.e. people who've been brought to the US as children and know nothing but the US as home.

Yes, it’s become obvious that you don’t see the need to argue with me, because so far you’ve evaded all my questions concerning the verses that you ignore. And again you do the very thing you accuse me of. Fragments of scriptures, eh? So, this time you throw the fragment of the “son of...

The sad truth is, that many of these dreamers, who've come to the US as children, are brave military heroes, law-abiding tax-payers and America's best and brightest, and yet they are treated like dirt by Trump and his followership.

I’d say even the ability to ask, seek and knock is a gift from God. It is God who hardens hearts or sets them free to do His will. Only He can change our minds, which are otherwise bound by sin. P.S.: I can understand your humanist doubts about this, though. This is a mindset that - if applied...

Again you point to a supposed splinter in my eye whilst overlooking the plank in your own, brother. It would have been nice to hear your explanation as to why and how you think John 1:9 and your interpretation of Mark 6:11 as pointing to a Dante-style hell are both true. How can Christ give...

Really? I suspect you only read political propaganda when it comes from the political spectrum you happen to support.

Maybe I should work on my writing style. Am I really making myself that unclear? The question what exactly you mean by us being “saints” aside – I fully agree with what you say here. That’s just the point I was trying to make when I said that even the Apostle Paul admitted to his own...

What makes you think that? Quite the contrary. It is very manifest to me that human beings are by nature bound towards evil, not just because the Bible tells me so, but also because I watch the news and know myself in my darkest hours. And clearly I don’t doubt that there’s a light that shineth...

That there isn’t any proof for free will in the scriptures was my very point. What else where you saying other that it’s the choice of their free will that makes people accept or deny Christ? According to you a decision with fatal consequences – salvation or hell. Hard to make an honest choice...
