Trump Moving Too Fast?

[soberxp]

How many church buildings are in China and why would the national interest of the USA be involved? There is a church in every corner and in every city and town in America.

There are many churches in China, especially in the countryside.

How do I know why they're doing this?
Pompeo once said that we lie, cheat, and steal, and that is the glory of America's constant exploration.

 

[Triumph1300]

Harper was your last conservative Prime Minister. Trudeau and Carney are Liberals.

Yup, they are, thats why I hope and pray Carney will not be elected.
They are a party of ungodly policies. So, I agree with you on that one.
No problem.

But I thought this thread was about "Trump". The other ungodly one.

 

[Triumph1300]

Trump just removed all reciprocal tariffs on China for technology, like chips, phone, and computers.

Of course he did because he realized there would by widespread revolt among his supporters who are basicly 24 hours a day playing dumb games on their gadgets.
And masses of dumb people have a lot of power these days.

And another thing, by making reverse changes, as he has been doing, the stockmarket goes up and down, which benefits the very rich.

Does insider trading ring a bell for some of you??

 

[Triumph1300]

There is a church in every corner and in every city and town in America.

How many of those are actually following Christ's teachings?
How many preach that one needs to be born again in order to be saved.
Most of them are social clubs focussing more on social events.

And the mega churches are just money making machines filling the pockets of the likes like Mr. Osteen, Mr. Duplantis and Mrs.Paula White.

One thing is for sure, it takes a lot of guts to call yourself a Christian in China.
The ones who do are the real thing considering the dangers.
Most of them in Canada and the USA could be bought by the enemy for a hamburger, root beer or a computer game.

I don't care nor does it matter to me.

 

[Triumph1300]

Of course not.
I knew that all along.
You only care about following your favourite evil politicians
You don't care about any thing else.
Your posts make that very clear.

 

[Rockerduck]

I don't' care about this world. 1 John 2:15 - Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

As witnesses, believers mix political ideas in the name of God and put them into action,(These people have blasphemed the name of God) The results are already being shown in China. It seems to me that the result of a believer doing this is not just that his understanding of the Bible is wrong, It can have serious consequences for others.

These people, in my opinion, are those who do not enter the door themselves, but block the door.(so who is the most anti-christ?)

I'm not saying people can't talk about politics, but I think most political ideas are in conflict with the Bible. Because politics preaches hatred, enemies, disputes...etc...

Jesus Christ was never involved in Roman politics. And we can't have two master, one is Jesus Christ, one is the politics.

The devil doesn't respect boundaries we may arbitrarily set between the church and the world. The government uses fear and oppression to force its people to accept a lie. If you stand for the truth you get crushed, this is one of the ways of the devil. Look at John the Baptist, he spoke out against Herod for his unlawful marriage and was killed for it. Was he wrong for speaking against the ruler because that could be considered political?

Are Christians wrong for opposing homosexuality when it is a damnable sin? That is just one example.

We should not hate our enemy, but we should be aware that we have an enemy and that enemy hates us. Remember Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

If we recognize that people's hatred for us is irrational because it comes from spiritual forces we can measure our response.

Rockerduck: I don't care nor does it matter to me.

Oh, and now "it's the world you don't care about."
That's not what you were responding to Rockerduck.
How convenient.

Stick to the context or just say "I was wrong".

Trump just removed all reciprocal tariffs on China for technology, like chips, phone, and computers.

Meaning all the stocks which plummeted in the US and China related to those technologies will soar next week

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-exempts-phones-computers-chips-124707368.html

The exclusions, published late Friday by US Customs and Border Protection, narrow the scope of the levies by excluding the products from Trump’s 125% China tariff and his baseline 10% global tariff on nearly all other countries.

The exclusions apply to smartphones, laptop computers, hard drives and computer processors and memory chips. Those popular consumer electronics items generally aren’t made in the US.

Follow The Big Take daily podcast wherever you listen.

The pause will be welcome news to consumers, some of whom rushed to buy new iPhones and other devices amid fears that the tariffs would send prices soaring. It’s also a big win for major technology companies that have presented massive US spending pledges for Trump in recent months. Trump’s tariffs upended global markets, triggered a selloff in stocks and ignited a rapidly escalating trade war with China.


The move is the first significant softening of any kind in Trump’s conflict with China. It was backdated to April 5.

“Honestly, I’m very comfortable now” with the China tariffs, Trump told reporters earlier Friday on Air Force One, while touting his relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping. “And I think something positive is going to come out of that.”

******************

Trumps goal is not industrial destruction, the goal is to negotiate better trade deals with China.
I hope the Chinese open up their country to better trade with the US.
Cooler heads need to think positively now.

Trump removed the tariffs, cause many of these companies are going to spend hundreds of billions of dollars building fabs and factories in the US. Taiwan semiconductor already has, and Nvidia is making their Blackwell AI chips in the US in Arizona. Those companies therefore got rewarded, and it's a fair deal. If you play fair with Trump, then you can expect fair back.

And Trump listened to Bessent, Musk, and Ackman about how the tariffs were killing US business and markets.

You are right.
The other thing to consider is that.....very few things catagorically only come from China. We also have Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malazia, India, South Korea and South America. Minus fentanyl.

Smart phones....
Samsung – Samsung is still the only major smartphone brand that has unequivocally moved out of China. Today they make most of their phones out of Vietnam, with factories in South Korea, India, Brazil, and Indonesia to serve local markets. While Samsung still does make some accessories out of China, there is not one new Samsung smartphone being made there.

Apple – Back in 2021 I was excited by all the news I read. “Apple is leaving China!” “Apple will be manufacturing out of Vietnam by the end of next year!!” “Your next iPhone will be made in India!!!”.
It’s true that iPads, MacBooks, and AirPods are moving to Vietnam, but I haven’t found one iPhone sold in the US Market that wasn’t made in China. They have cried wolf one too many times. When my iPhone 12 gives up its ghost, I’ll be switching to Samsung.

Here study for the relevance of who is antichrist and who is not antichrist so as to understand with the right judgement such a thing.

1 John 2

​

1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

The Test of Knowing Him​

3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God [a]is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

7 [b]Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard [c]from the beginning. 8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. 10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

Their Spiritual State​

12 I write to you, little children,
Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.
13 I write to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
Because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children,
Because you have known the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men,
Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the wicked one.

Do Not Love the World​

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Deceptions of the Last Hour​

18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the[d] Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you[e] know all things. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

Let Truth Abide in You​

24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.

26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to [f]deceive you. 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you [g]will abide in Him.

The Children of God​

28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that [h]when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

An antichrist is a christ that is not the true Christ. "Even now are many antichrists".........false christs, that Jesus as well as John warned us about.

Good thing The Word made flesh,God,who dealt among us as Jesus wasn't born into a Jewish lineage as prophesied. Or,have Disciples,students,who were Jewish.

What a conundrum that would pose.

Especially for those who think wrongly,that God didn't foresee their temple proud leadership would deny him.

Phew,what a relief.

Yes that was His lineage after the flesh, but haven't you read the scripture which says "Now we know Him after the flesh no longer". and "the flesh profits nothing".

That's the problem with the Temple, it is "their" Temple and not God's temple. We the church (Jew and Gentile believers) are His temple now, not made with hands of flesh, but being built up with living stones. Worship of God needs to be as God Himself commands and ordains, not as man does.

It was never God's temple. He told us he is not found in buildings made by mortal hands.

There are those who like to insist God has abandoned the Jews.

That's not true.

Kicked God out of their party…they took the word God out of the National Anthem at their Democratic National Convention and they paused to make sure it was noticed.

In part their unity is due to there hatred for President Trump. Their beliefs are some where between stupid and creepy. Democrat politicians are disconnected from most democrats. There are a lot of good democrats….church going democrats. The last poll showed 26% of democrats support the agendas of democrat politicians so 74% of democrats are democrats for other reasons.

I posed the question I did on this forum here at several church Sunday schools….Is it a sin to vote for a democrat? The answers I got….My family is democrat or I have always voted democrat. As a whole they are not paying attention to politics or not thinking why they are voting democrat or do not vote at all.

If the democrat politicians stick with their WOKE agenda I can see them being voted out…..replaced with other democrats that I hope think differently or replaced with republicans. I do believe in the two party system so I hope eventfully the democrat party is replaced with more level headed politicians.

As it is I totally support everything President Trump is doing. Even the most controversial thing….tariffs. All the fears regarding tariffs is because most people do not understand them or their history. Several presidents made statements regarding the need to address being ripped off by the tariffs of other countries but did not have the courage to do it. Part of leadership is doing something that is right even if it will not be popular ….same thing for fathers.

Little known fact….The American Revolutionary War had a lot to do with taxes….The Boston Tea Party was the fuse that kicked off the war. Well early Americans would not tolerate taxes so to begin with our government was funded by tariffs.

The tariff thing will work itself out. The tax cuts will kick in and the job market will open up particularly when these companies start to move back to the United States and then the stock market will soar and we will be getting billions a day on tariffs.

So the Golden Age is ahead for us. And with law and order returning to our country we will all be more safe.

God Bless America.

The Democrate Party was taken over by Satanist ! Godless People took it over ! that's a fact ! and play the people who were Democrate Party voters for fools.
Within every Party their are factions with in ! regarding Democrats some more to the left = Communist in fact !

With regards the right wing Partys it's the far right that are more in tune with the Left ? for they like to dominate just like the Left always want to dominate over the people !

When we truly understand the Business of Political Partys ? they are into the business of playing the People first and foremost ? then it's they who give money to political Partys who the Party has to play along with them, so as to get their money etc ?

A lot of the time the two major Partys are one in the same ilk ? for they are just playing the People for their own ends. one can understand the diffrence between blue coller and white coller workers, but then again their is the other Mob ?
Funny that in the white coller Mob that they are or become a Mob ? who do not work openly with the Blue ? but become morons towards the Blue ! Well the same regards the Mob above blue and white coller ?
So then Houston we have a problem ! not everyone is working together in fact !

Do the majority understand or have a good handle on everything ?
Do the Political Party machine understand the People ? or is this mainly in relation as to only play the people ? And in regards as to the Socialist game play over the years that they have invested in duping, is much the same bag of tricks Hitler and Stalin used, only they have improved much so on this operations tactics in fact !

So such people are in a frazzled state of mind, like a fish out of water ?
Such people as Socialist dupes are people who look to others as what to do ? for such they themselves display no truly leadership values that they created on their own formulation by themselves in fact ! they just go with the flow of their criminal intent leaders ! their Leaders are and have only cunning Communist intent ! and the simplton just is in such a spin that they are like a 5yo in fear mode, for they do not understand what is truly going on ! so they go into a mode of attack, like a blind fool ! Such happened under the Nazi and the Communist domination of the People !

The old carrot trick with the Donkey works ?

What can They can get away with ? abortion on demand ! what is that truly, Child sacrifice ! to their god's ! need I say more ?

Say it preacher. Jeremiah 17.5 - Cursed is the man who trust in man, and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from God.

Oh Lord, they're spreading in slander against Conservative Christians here and across America.

Preach blasphemy against God's people. And slander Conservatives. What Hellish advice.

Get this straight fellow Conservatives. If you support your president,as God's appointee to the office of American president,you are judged as worshippers of that president.

The new tactic of the Left.

No, the Lord has not abandoned the Jews....He is still trying to bring them to Christ the Messiah.....whosoever will and whoever of them are appointed to eternal life and are foreknown by Him.

 

[AngelicArcher]

Dear reader. TDS is Trump derangement syndrome and TWS is Trump worship syndrome. Inquiring minds needed to know. That is all.

Actually, dark minds here accuse Conservative Christians here and who support President Trump as those who worship Trump.

One tried to wiggle out of his blasphemous slander by falling back and claiming he never said all Conservative Christians worship Trump....

That was obvious given where he was as he said it.

He was accusing those Conservative Christians here. And who support Trump.

TDS coupled with blasphemy . That's a new one. Or,maybe not.
