@PerryPer10254@FXMC1957 If you're are an American I suggest you stop patronising us in the UK & take care of your own psychopath in the White House. Thatcher was vile - but at least she wasn't a laughing stock. Her 'quality' as you put it was cruelty. She cared nothing for the working people of the UK
@Boldii1vg@Sachinettiyil Jesus said - welcome the stranger - Francis loved & followed Jesus - he would weep to see your words. We are ALL God's Children ๐
@markkavana1h9@historyrock_ She was a Thatcherite - I expect that went down like a lead balloon for the Scousers, who I might add are excellent people & a good judge of character.
@KAOS_REBORN_FU@greglaurie Jesus was not a myth - he is a historical figure - his existance documented by the the Roman Empire. Whether you believe he was the son of God is a matter of faith.
On this International Day of Non-Violence, also marking the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, I reflect on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.โs first trip to India in 1959, his admiration for Mahatma Gandhi, and the bond the United States and India shared in fighting for equality.
Kingโs trip to India had a profound influence on his understanding of nonviolent resistance relating to Americaโs struggle for civil rights. In a radio address made during his final evening in #India, King reflected: โSince being in India, I am more convinced than ever before that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity. In a real sense, Mahatma Gandhi embodied in his life certain universal principles that are inherent in the moral structure of the universe, and these principles are as inescapable as the law of gravitation.โ(King Institute, Stanford University).
It was Gandhi's universal principles that shaped the essence of the Civil Rights Movement, moments like the Montgomery Boycott, and what ultimately led to the legislative victory of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. King, as Gandhi, knew the US-India relationship was uniquely bonded by nonviolent diplomacy and divinity. It was a relationship positioned to influence the world to reclaim cultural identity through a spiritual compass.
โWe were looked upon as brothers with the color of our skins as something of an asset,โ King remembered. โBut the strongest bond of fraternity was the common cause of minority and colonial peoples in America, Africa and Asia struggling to throw off racialism and imperialism.โ (King, โMy Trip to the Land of Gandhi,โ July 1959, in Papers 5:231โ238).
King observed that the common experiences of African American and Indian people brought light to racialism and imperialism globally. And their shared philosophies and call for liberation sparked an awakening between the two largest democracies to uphold nonviolent resistance.
May the bond between King and Gandhi, and the United States and India, teach us to always choose the path of peaceful diplomacy. For this is the Spirit of God.

@Matt_The_Don78@wabbey Read again please 'Nothing' in all creation will separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus ๐
We are already saved - He died & was raised from the dead to save us - all we have to do is accept Jesus as our Lord & Saviour.
