Umm...I don't see any...any...direct reference to the United States in Scripture; really I don't.
Most people don't see what they're not looking for. Have you tried looking?

So: what happened between the Apostles and the Apostles' doctrine (Acts 2.42) and the year 1776; was Apostolic authority supposedly revived in 1776?Most people don't see what they're not looking for. Have you tried looking?

Does Psalm 109 really mention President Obama?![]()

@bukka Decades back there was a prophetic paperback issued with a cover showing a missile with a hammer and sickle falling on a map of Israel. The hammer and sickle represented the Soviet Union. Where is the Soviet Union today? Where is the prophecy which insinuated that specifically Soviet missiles would fall on Israel?I see the same farouk. I don't see any direct reference to the United States in scripture. I think that this is a vanity on the part of some Americans.
If ppl want to see the United States in the Bible and want it strongly enough, they will likely "see" it.Most people don't see what they're not looking for. Have you tried looking?

... and if they deny something in the Bible, and refuse it strongly enough, they will likely deny it. So are you asking, or denying?If ppl want to see the United States in the Bible and want it strongly enough, they will likely "see" it.

The onus is on demonstrating that the Bible supposedly does refer to the United States; argument from silence gets nowhere.... and if they deny something in the Bible, and refuse it strongly enough, they will likely deny it. So are you asking, or denying?

Ah, yes, you are the clever one. . . according to you.You, my dear "friend" are IGNORANT. And as the saying goes: Ignorance can be cured, but stupidity is forever.

FALSE.

Hmmm....I read that she was born in CaliforniaSenator Kamala Harris is not, from a constitutional standpoint, a natural-born citizen of the United States. She was born on American soil, but that’s not enough to qualify for birthright citizenship. Here is the actual language of the 14th Amendment (emphasis mine throughout):“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” It’s not enough just to be born on U.S. soil. You must both be born on U.S. soil and be subject “to the jurisdiction thereof” when it happens.
It’s not even enough that one’s parents be legally present in the U.S. at the time of the child’s birth. The issue is to whom do the parents - and therefore the child - owe their ultimate allegiance. So while they may temporarily be subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S., their ultimate allegiance, the ultimate jurisdiction to which they are subject, belongs to the nation of their birth, the land where they possess citizenship and from whence they came.

And I don't think that anybody who considers themselves to be a Christian should judge that a person cannot be redeemed in Christ.
Absolute nonsense to anybody with an IQ over 25.You guys were constantly in a rage because in his campaign, he always downplayed his race. C'mon. Do you think everyone forgot?
Yep. The racists were chewing carpet because he didn't play up race.
Obama played down his race. It was a smart move. That way, the racists had to initiate the race card each time they tried it.
That’s a completely dishonest statement and most Americans know it.
President Donald Trump is doubling down on a strategy he believes worked to his advantage four years ago: seizing on divisive culture wars and using race-baiting rhetoric as he seeks to fire up his base to give him a second term in office. His GOP allies on Capitol Hill are looking on with alarm.
Uncertain how to respond to a President who has long favored incendiary remarks and targets any Republican who shows even the slightest signs of disloyalty, many in his party are aghast as Trump's poll numbers plummet and large numbers of Americans disapprove of his handling of the twin crises that have dominated this election year.

His own party leaders realize it:
"He's a race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot."
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham
Compare Trump's racist bilge with this from Obama:
“I don’t believe it is possible to transcend race in this country. Race is a factor in this society. The legacy of Jim Crow and slavery has not gone away. It is not an accident that African-Americans experience high crime rates, are poor, and have less wealth. It is a direct result of our racial history.” — Barack Obama
All quite true. As most Americans realize. And they know that Trump's racist behavior has made things worse:
Americans Say President Trump Has Worsened Race Relations Since George Floyd's Death
A majority of Americans feels that President Trump has made race relations worse since George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police. That's according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll taken this week after demonstrations spread around the country.
...
two-thirds of Americans think Trump has increased racial tensions in this country after George Floyd's death. And Trump is suffering politically because of it. His job approval rating is at 41%. It's down a couple points since March, but about where it's been. But his disapproval rating, the number of people disapproving of the job he's doing, is at 55%, almost the worst of his presidency.
And what's striking about this is the intensity of that disapproval. Almost half the country, 47%, now say they strongly disapprove of the job the president is doing. Independents strongly disapproving have shot up 10 points since March. And all that's put Trump in a big hole against Joe Biden. Biden leads Trump in a head-to-head in the general election now 50 to 43. And the poll shows Biden making inroads with key groups, like independents, whites, women and people who live in the suburbs in particular.

It was once at least somewhat O.K. to be racist. It still is, for some, but they are dying out.
