Rand Paul Just Blasted Out Something The MLB Has Been Trying to Keep Very Quiet

[ripmeister]

I just read the sermon. Where do you see an argument for open borders and the destruction of nations?

Nowhere. What I do see is the “you are your brothers keeper” point of view. I understand you don’t subscribe to that. So be it.

Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. …

Not sure what your point is here. Although I’m not surprised that you go to the old testament. Although the OT has some beautiful scripture it also has a lot that is antithetical to the teachings of the Christ. I find the OT to be focused on a vengeful God. Jesus was cut from different cloth. I understand your attraction though to the God of the OT.

You're such a liar. There are some there in the NEW testament, but those didn't serve your purpose. You CHOSE not to understand.

To be Christian is to be Christ Like. I focus on his teachings the epitome of which is the SOTM. You seem to focus on something else. So be it.

Awrighty then..........how may of those "children " have YOU taken in?
How may additional HC policies did you take out for them?
Bought them their cars yet, paid for their college..and all of this was done out your own pocket, right?
Take that burden onto yourself, do not compel your opinions on other while demanding they pay for your wet dream.

"After the MLB’s decision to move the All-Star Game to Colorado, Atlanta Braves fans are already asking for refunds on season tickets. In 2020, all the major sports leagues saw their TV ratings spiral down. You can’t really blame COVID totally for this because when regular television shows were affected by the pandemic lockdowns and there were more people staying home than ever before, sports viewership should have risen, but instead, it went the other way.
Sports leagues and their networks thought they had the fans locked up as a captive audience and that they could throw at them whatever political garbage they wanted because they were hooked on sports. They had to sit there and take it. Until they no longer did.
I don’t think sports owners and the corporate folks ever grasped the level of anger and disgust that watching spoiled millionaire athletes kneel for our National Anthem yet stand for the Black Anthem while disrespecting the American flag and trashing law enforcement did to their fanbase."

To be Christian is to be Christ Like. I focus on his teachings the epitome of which is the SOTM. You seem to focus on something else. So be it.

The focus is on your actions as an individual, not on state policies intended to secure the nation. Your hatred for Americans does not square with your intention to be "Christ-like".

So you lied about the Sermon.

It seems apparent you know little about the religion you claim. It is not about the nation's responsibilities to its citizens. It is about your individual responsibilities.

You pretend to be your brother's keeper by agreeing to the destruction of our language, culture, and way of life. You are a fraud.

Jesus is the exact same cloth, you literally have no idea what you're talking about. "The God" of the OT, and Jesus, are one in the same. Have you ever actually read the Bible?

The New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old Testament.
