    Incidentally, "Two Corinthians" is how Christians in England pronounce it.

    (There's ample evidence out there that Trump probably isn't a Christian. Why use that particular weak argument?)
    "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

      I wonder if the last part is your own conclusion or if you are trying to put words that I didn't say in my mouth.

        There's no room to put words in your mouth with your foot always stuck in there.

          That last part is something called "sarcasm".

            And along those lines I didn't mean to be to hard on Trump for the error he made. After all, it was probably the first time he read the book.

                I appreciate your admission that my sarcastic remark was accurate.

                    That sounds funny. Can you point us to it?

                      First of all, what is he talking about? What was said by whom that was bad mouthing this country. Nobody, that's who! He made it up. And second, who is Trump to tell us what we can and can not say about anything, including criticizing him, and or this country in general.

                      Trumps quote, I believe, was a Freudian slip. He gave himself away. He's still just a wannabe tyrant, but he's working hard at becoming a real one.
                      Yet another loony birdbrained OP without a cite. Good job!!!

                          Besides being totally ignorant as to "Freudian Slip", Jimmy now reveals he knows nothing about 'context'.

                            "Two Corinthians" was pounded into us in Seminary as the PROPER way to cite a related passage.

                                I wasn't sure what he meant by citing that Scripture; I thought I would like him to explain it.
