@qbromley2112@MattWalshBlog It isn’t particularly difficult. A modern fantasy country based on a post-Christian pity-party isn’t relevant to OT promises that, per the text, were fulfilled at the end of Joshua’s life. Btw, you forgot about the curses that follow from unfaithfulness.
@HanShawnity They fund Hamas
They support the neo-ISIS regime in Syria
They attacked the USS Liberty
They support the immigration crisis in Europe and America
Also, Islam is evil; that doesn’t make Israel our good or our friend.
I think a potential downside of democracy, where everyone gets an equal vote simply for existing, is what happens if one generation is, for whatever reason, significantly larger than all the others.
That generation could dominate the political system, essentially creating an age-based oligarchy.
For example: when this generation was young and trying to buy houses, they could vote for politicians who made housing cheap and plentiful. Then, once they aged and wanted their home values to skyrocket, they could elect politicians who added layers of building restrictions—driving up their property values while making housing unaffordable for everyone else.
Wait…
χαῖρε, "Hail," is used five times in the New Testament,
Matt. 26:49 "hail, Master"
Matt. 27:29 "hail, King"
Mark 15:18 "hail, King"
John 19:3 "hail, King"
A royal salutation used insincerely in each case.
Only one sincere use,
Luke 1:28 "hail, Mary"
Queen.
