Today it begins, Kamala has reached the point that she's the Democratic Party nominee:

There's video from today. this link has video from her first public appearance since Biden endorsed her:

She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

I've named this thread General Election 2024 Harris vs Trump

Trump needs an introduction post as well, a MAGA suporter ought to write it: @Farb, @SaintForLife , @Others, calling for someone to please introduce your GOP candidate for this 2024 general election thread.

Duh. Some common sense needs to be applied. When the Bible was written there were no gender changing surgeries so of course it wasn't mentioned.

Just to be clear, God is omnipotent right? Omniscient too?

It's really strange to me that man, who's really of feeble and limited minded, always put words into God's mouth. God said this. God told me to do this. If God wanted, he can make you do it. He doesn't have to say a word. This theological discussion of free will within religious circles always perplex me.

How does a Bible that religious types say has all the answers forget infinite details.

Being bigoted isn’t common sense. If your church teaches that trans people are an abomination against God, your church is heretical.

I ask the question even I know the answer, it's the same answer it always is

"If I like it, (or do it myself) it's God's will. If I don't it's the devil's work (or rebellion against God)"

The Bible says God created man and it was very good. The Bible says in whatever state you find yourself, be content.

so a sociopath is ok?

 

[SFIDC3]

so a sociopath is ok?

Haha!!!!! Good one....

If you keep it vague enough it can apply to anyone.....or no one......utter nonsense

Nope.
My church teaches the Bible.
The Bible says that God desires all people to be saved.
The Bible teaches that God created man and woman and it was good.
Modern folks take those simply truths and ignore them and then call people bigoted.
God is the same .
Yesterday.
Today
and tomorrow

I try to just present what the Bible says.
I try.
I don't put words into God's mouth.
Yet some Biblical truths that seem so obvious to me are nonsense to woke people.
I just present Bible truths and let the chips fall where they may.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Lol. Jesus is the very definition of "woke" for the time in which he lived.

It's 2,000 years later, but if he lived today Jesus would be a homeless, transgendered, illegal immigrant that still preached about God. "Woke" oozed out of Jesus' pores.

 

[SteveSBrickNJ]

Jesus chose to have no where to lay his head. He chose to move from place to place preaching and teaching. He was at peace to trust his heavenly Father to take care of his needs.
Jesus would absolutely NOT be transgender. This "transgender" reference was stated by @coldseat but does not appear in the black outline with the white words. @Optimus Prime quoted @coldseat in Post 7,892

I've got work to do.
I'm done here for now.

Yes, you do. You have done so in this very thread. You claimed that something is not in the bible simply because of when it was written. If it's not in the bible, how do you know whether or not God said it? Do you presume to know His thoughts?

 

[coldseat]

That sounds awfully "woke" to me.

Why are you so sure? It was admittedly a bit of hyperbole by me, but the point was that if the Jesus of the bible came today, he wouldn't be who you would expect. He would probably be somebody you reviled for being "woke".

If Jesus were here today, who do you think he would speak out against or condemn more, a transgendered person trying to honestly deal with their issue and find their place in the world or Republicans?

who knows? all we know is the faithful have changed a lot and they do not believe the same things they used to. Hell, how many flavors of Christianity are there?

 

[MT15]

I don't put words into God's mouth.

Yes, you do. Or rather your church does.

Which Bible truths? The one where Elisha curses children for making fun of him? Or where God approves mass murder in Deuteronomy 20:16-18 including women and children?

“The Lord said to Moses…” starts much of the Torah. Which means that attempts to rationalize away violence must fail. This then applies to alleged comments made regarding issues such as dietary restrictions or washing of pots/washing of hands and several other things because if The Christ IS God then he laid down the laws. He even supposedly said that not one part of the law would be taken away. The Letter of James reinforces that the law remains in place contrary to Paul’s claim that we are not subject to the law.

Misogynoir, the intersection of racism and sexism, was the main reason behind Kamala Harris’s loss in the 2024 general election, a panel of Black female experts argued, noting how post-election coverage has failed to contend with how white supremacy undergirded the election results.

In a conversation titled “Views from the 92%: Black Women Reflect on 2024 Election and Road Ahead”, several academics dissected how and why the vice-president lost, particularly given Trump’s problematic history.

The panel was hosted by the African American Policy Forum, a social justice thinktank co-founded by Kimberlé Crenshaw, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles and Columbia University.

“Racism is designed in such a way to make you question your humanity, but sexism is also. Sexism is really a power move,” said LaTosha Brown, co-founder of the Black Voters Matter Fund. “When you combine those two things together, I think that that best explains what [Harris] experienced.”

Throughout the 2024 election campaign, Trump and other conservatives launched an onslaught of racist and sexist attacks against Harris: repeatedly claiming that Harris “slept her way” into political power, was unintelligent and that she was not a Black woman.


Such attacks are unsurprising given American’s history with racism against Black women, the call participants said. But what was especially frustrating were platforms Trump was given to spread disinformation, Crenshaw argued, specifically calling out Trump being featured at the 2024 National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention.

Karen Attiah, the former co-chair of the convention, who stepped down after the announcement that Trump would be interviewed, said the interview was a “viscerally painful experience” which was excused by many “white liberals”.

During the contentious interview, Trump questioned Harris’s race, saying she suddenly “became a Black woman”. “Is she Indian or is she Black? I respect either one but she obviously doesn’t because she was Indian all the way and then all of sudden she became a Black woman.”

Trump was also repeatedly combative with the interviewer Rachel Scott, the senior congressional correspondent for ABC News, accusing her of being “rude”.

“The responses that I personally got for stepping down from white allies or people who are white leaders, was, ‘Well, he was racist and he destroyed your conference, but we needed to see that’ and I was like, ‘At the expense of our dignity[?]’,” she said.………
