You might want to read about the Roman Cincinnatus and President George Washington. Cincinnatus and George Washington - Roman Roads Press Actually, we currently have a dictatorial administration in the White House now: rule of law disregarded when it is expedient.

For the record, kindly describe which of President Trump’s polices—economic, national security, rule of law, separation of powers, states’ rights—you found maniacal.

Kindly present evidence of these accusations, that Haynes Brand owns slave labor factories anywhere. Fact: labor laws in other countries are not always the same as ours. What we view as unjust, they view as acceptable. Many U.S. Corporations purchase goods from these countries, which are...

Ahem: as it happens the evidence you cite for condemning Haynesbrand Execs consists of a single YouTube video, which is an interview with Halima by a now defunct labor activist org. —the video is 17 years old —the Hanes corporation, not Haynesbrand, was buying clothing from factories owned and...

Thank you for your (broken-record) reply. It would be helpful if you could provide solid evidence for your accusations. A quick internet search reveals that Haynesbrand only owns overseas factories in east Asia: e.g., Vietnam, Thailand, China. (There is even a PBS report on the Vietnam...

Thank you for your reply. We still need to know the consequences if that factory imposes some version of child labor laws. Will Halima starve or merely be re-employed in Pakistan elsewhere at a lower wage? If you say you are a Christian, you might could consider praying for guidance re...

Thank you for your reply. America doesn’t “allow“ child slave labor? How about our rampant sex trafficking? (Matthew 7:3 - 5) Somehow you have managed to make me, a buyer of underwear, a child abuser! Wow! What remains to be answered is whether Halima’s father is forcing her to work so he...

Thank you for your post. The poignant story about Halima raises a few questions. Who is forcing Halima to work these long hours? (Her family?) If the government prohibited forced child labor, what would be the economic impact on her family? Would the story make a difference if Halima earned...

Help us understand why four more years of Biden would be good for us. (E.g. inflation is wonderful because printing lots of money is fiscally prudent; we need more international disasters; abortion on demand at any time for any reason is sound policy; . . . .)

Thank you for this post. A few suggestions: Matthew 5:28—lust. The 9th Commandment—-Coveting in all its ways The 6th Commandment, but mentally, plus holding a grudge, bearing ill will, holding hate in your heart toward others. Peace and blessings

You have my sympathy: the Forum does not allow one to easily leave a Reply in progress and return. In the meantime, your post has engendered more thoughts. A large part of Hallmark movie’s original appeal is that they espouse a secular version of Love Thy Neighbor. (See Romans 2: 14,15 as...

Thank you for your thoughtful post. I agree with most of your comments, especially regarding the cultural decline of Hallmark movies (Hallmark being one of many in today’s corporate world). Perhaps to be expected when leadership has abandoned God? So, if you were the CEO of a company that...

We are not deceived by anti-semitism thinly veiled with faux Christianity.

God achieves His purposes by working through people. (See, e.g., book of Esther). Story: a Christian in a bad flood waited for rescue on the roof of his house. When a boat came by to help, he said, “No need, God will save me in His time.” The water rose higher; another boat came, etc. Finally...

Thank you for responding, even if in a confused way. Your position is almost clear: all Israelis deserve annihilation because either (a) the Jewish people have turned from God, or (b) they haven’t embraced Jesus as their savior, or (c) they aren’t Muslims (Hamas position). Which is it? Peace...

Thank you for posting these questions. To begin, see 1 Samuel 15:1-3——God ordered King Saul to wipe out the Amalekites, which was in effect “ethic” cleansing (not ethnic cleansing). (Survivors would have vowed vengeance and carried it out in the future.) In WWII, our goals were unconditional...

Thank you for posting this question. There is a vast difference between deliberately ignoring God’s commandments and stumbling, as we are all likely to given our nature. See: Hebrews 10: 26-27 and Romans 6:1-4 If you truly love God, you will want to obey His commandments cheerfully...

Thank you for your speedy reply. I agree completely! In conclusion, here are two scripture passages (of many) that are examples of how God responds to prayers for help. First, Esther 5:15,16 — God inspires Esther on how Haman can be defeated. Second, Nehemiah 1 and 2—God sends an “angel” in...

You have written a wonderful reply. I especially resonate with “The point of Christianity was not to introduce a new religion . . . .” Your recommendation for a test is on the right track, but I have a slightly different perspective. God works through people to fulfill His purposes. We are to...
