    USA What if Donald Trump is indicted by a Democrat prosecutor?

    Yep. However, you don't have to offer your own estimate of what you judge likely to happen, if you don't care to.do that.

    USA What if Donald Trump is indicted by a Democrat prosecutor?

    The fact remains that the Original Post asked what we think would be likely to happen in the event of an indictment and, if there is one, how that would impact the voters. It's not more complicated than that.

    Pilate’s regret

    Agreed. Agreed. I kind of agree, but whether or not the huckster profits isn't the whole of the issue. It's also about what they are preaching and, in the case of our discussion here, what they are teaching about the gifts, who is gifted, how that happens, and so on.

    Pilate’s regret

    You made that demand after I'd already given my view--several times.

    USA What if Donald Trump is indicted by a Democrat prosecutor?

    Yes, all those things and more "could" happen, but the OP asked for our guesses about what WILL happen...and that only so far as an indictment is concerned. I doubt that many of us would think that he is likely to win the 2024 election if he's actually jailed, even if that development were...

    Faith is a better method?

    IS Faith essentially a matter of problem-solving? A way to resolve questions we may have about the world around us? IMO, there's something missing if we stop there. In our religion the importance of Faith is life changing. It means trust, all right, but Christian Faith restores a bond between...

    Pilate’s regret

    Thank you, and you are of course right that we all reject the snake oil salesmen and shows. I do, however, wonder how we'd distinguish between the travelling medicine man/TV huckster figure and the local preacher who essentially does the same thing but with a smaller audience.

    Pilate’s regret

    No, you demanded that I give Scripture that doesn't support the view I took some care to explain. Then you sneered at the fact that I do try to explain what my views are. Now you are trying to get out of your slip-up by claiming that when I explained my view, I was actually saying that I...

    Faith

    Or to put it another way, only if we are speaking of faith in the non-religious sense, meaning to trust something or other. That there won't be a recession, for instance. We could say that we have faith that there will not be a recession in the near future. But Faith in the theological and...

    Is China really as evil as our media says it is?

    That's true, and it hadn't been defined prior to our exchange. However, the idea that because China has not been influenced until recently by Western Civilization and so cannot be considered evil seems a weird one to me. When did genocide and removing bodily organs from living political...

    Is China really as evil as our media says it is?

    So it is impossible for China to be evil or do evil??? Is that it?

    Pilate’s regret

    Well, here's an example of why we are on different debating wavelengths. I have explicitly said that THE GIFTS HAVE NOT CEASED. You don't want to hear it. It has become a familiar claim with many Pentecostals, Charismatics, and related groups that "Those people (i.e., every Christian other...

    Ultimate Authority

    That is the basis for determining doctrine in all the Catholic denominations. So if it's a formal dispute you are asking about, the church will make its stand on Scripture AND Tradition together, and the person who won't accept the decision would be deemed to be in the wrong.

    Is China really as evil as our media says it is?

    Meteorologists pointed out that-- Weather balloons are about 20 feet across when aloft. According to one report, this balloon was "as big as three buses." Weather balloons are only in the air for a 120 minutes or so and travel only about 100 miles. The U.S.A. tracked this one for days as it...

    Ultimate Authority

    All right, but neither has Scripture +"Holy Tradition" resolved those differences. So where does that leave us--trusting God's word/divine revelation OR trusting instead a combination of His word and human innovations and theories? That puts the main difference between the reformed churches...

    Pilate’s regret

    You are wrong about much of that. But of course it is essential--to Pentecostals--to keep saying and believing in the scenario you have repeated for us here. I've already explained how it's wrong.

    Sinners Prayer

    But it is also true that when Jesus was directly asked by his followers how to pray, he led them through what you deride as a "rote" prayer--the Lord's Prayer or "Our Father." So now you're telling us that it's wrong to pray as Christ taught us to pray???? Not just the Roman Church, but most...

    Pilate’s regret

    That's the kind of statement that I feel needs to be retired. I hear it a lot, but the fact is that there are more than two views concerning this matter, and although there probably are some people who would agree that "the gifts have ceased," what is believed by most Christians is that they...
