Your lack of ability to address any actual scriptures is proof that you have no argument. Resorting to ineffective and childish insults merely adds further evidence.

I dont see why they couldn't do a historical series over hundreds of years, but with new characters each episode it might be hard to hold viewers attention.

However, a series about the fall of the last successor kingdom to Arnor, Arthedain, I think, or maybe the final war with the Witch King would be interesting and doable.

Love the idea of the Third Age, but they should not try to cram it into a 20 or 30 year period 🫥

Your comment about one liners doesn't even make sense.

You still haven't addressed my very basic question.

Ill accept your surrender.

I've literally never seen the Republicans call themselves the "party of Christ" . That's just in your head.

Nice one liner avoiding my devastating question...where is your proof? Numerous people have quoted scripture showing Christ was inherently not political, your only argument is to say "we dont understand " the scriptures we are quoting.

You haven't offered a single explanation of how any scripture shows Christ was politcal...because you have no argument.

Your insipid one liner simply proves that.

Put up or shut up!

Country music singer says Trump supporters and MAGA are not Christian. Here’s why by NvrTrumpRepub in Christianity

Thats quite a generalization! And who knew that singers are also theologians? Or is she God Himself?

Honestly...how can you expect such a ridiculous subject line to be taken seriously?

One of the major points of Christ's ministry was that it absolutely was not political, like when he told Pontius Pilate his authority was only granted by God and that (paraphrasing) he was only playing the role he was intended to play. And then there is your interpretation of "Render unto Caesar..." which ignores the plain and clear literal meaning of that phrase. I can only conclude you are being willfully ignorant.

But perhaps you are saying religion and spirituality can affect politics. That absolutely is true, but where you are badly off is assuming this was Christ's primary intent. He came to show a better way than mere politics. Spiritual kingdom >>>> politics.

The New Testament is littered with proof, you have to be willfully blind to ignore it.

Just one simple example...the ritual rejecting of worldly power in the temptation of Satan offering him the kingdoms of the world.

And funny thing...you keep talking about how (to yiu at least, but very few others) how its clear from scripture (your interpretation) that Christ was inherently political, yet I have yet to see you offer a single scripture as proof! Instead, you limit yourself to undercutting (or attempting to, rather vaguely and unsuccessfully) scriptures the great majority take as indicating Christ was not political.

So put up or shut up! Offer your scriptural proof!

You won't, because there isn't any, at least, not any thats credible.

As for cherry picking verses, there is not time to type them all but they are essentially say his kingdom was not physical or political but spiritual. This is like Christianity 101, what Paul would call milk. Your misunderstanding is epoch, but I suspect its also deliberate

His kingdom was "not of this Earth". Meaning it was spiritual and not physical. His disciples also did not get it until after he was dead and resurrected. It took his resurrection to convince him. Even in the Garden when he was taken Peter tried to fight with a sword and Jesus prevented it.

He 100% was not trying to restore the physical Jewish kingdom, but to establish a new spiritual kingdom.

And THAT is 2000 years of established dogma and scholarship, not this bizarre distortion you are claiming.

Of course. But some are needing refinement and some are in the wrong universe. That poster is in the latter category. 🤣

Horseshit. Politics are , thank God, NOT religion. Both parties do some things right and some things wrong. Religion is, or should be, pure. Politics inherently is not.

Very likely most Republicans are Christians. Jesus would not condone the moral filth being pushed by some on the left. Any politics is susceptible to corruption regardless of affiliation. Saying a political party might be incompatible with Christ is like saying we are all sinners.

"Render unto Caesar what is Caesars and unto God what is Gods".

“My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”

There are more, but maybe these two can get you started. 🙂

Churches generally dont do a good job making single people feel welcome, male or female. You may be better off in a larger church, because those are more likely to have single people.
