    I can't belive that all we have to choose from was Biden and Trump for starters, but biden received the most votes.
    Hillary also received the most votes over Trump also, But the electorial college saved Trump then

    In America we didn't crucify folks for hanging folks from trees when their only crime was wanting to be free. So take the Kapernick crap and stick it where the sun don't shine.

    nappyroots got a reaction from TxHoops in Tax Cuts   

    This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up I am for helping the working poor and the elderly whom have worked all of their lives and can't afford to live. Not many folks are out to help people that can and should be working (despite what Rush tries to lead us to believe). Many that voted for Trump were so worried about erasing Obama that they didn't realize that Paul Ryan and his friends with tales would be cutting their food stamps, medicare, health care and social security. Whether it be the Republican or Democratic rich that control government we need to start trying to effect their money. Ive been working since I was 12. Live pretty well and don't mind helping people that deserve it. Even when that person on the street ask for help, i try to figure out who is sincere. I usually count the ones that have cigarettes out. Race doesn't matter. Geographic location doesn't matter either. The man above ultimately controls this world.

    It didn't just take a disaster for me. Looking in the eyes of my 18 month and six month old grandkids helped also. I have never been a racist. Ive seen racism from all races though. just trying to improve my health and life. the storm recovery seemed like a good place to start. Kinda like using the treadmill to hang cloths on. time to start exercising. 24 hr news, disrespectful youth. its time for change, it takes everyone to try and help this society.

    Rebgp if you are a republican and someone else is a democrat I respect both of your choices. i am democrat. There are Republicans that i have grown to like. i used to bad mouth Ted Cruz . I spoke with him in Port Arthur the other day and was pleased to meet him . I don't like every democrat politician and will never vote straight ticket again. We are stuck with bad politicians in either party. While volunteering after this storm and the floods I remembered how my grandmother liked everyone, never said a bad thing about anyone. She didn't care about race, political affilliation are religion choice. Her motto was if she couldn't say anything good or helpful she didn't say anything at all. There are many things that we can agree on, Starting conversations with Why blacks are White folks ......is usually never good. People go to defense mode and say things that even they might not believe. Blaming all blacks for blm are all whites for kkk, saying all dems or all rep are bad helps keep people divided, so the crooked politicians and the individuals or companies that are paying them off can get their way

    Possibly your best post ever.  And I agree with virtually everything you said.  Maybe everything, but I'm so sleepy (from helping my sisters who was flooded) you might have slipped one in on me lol.  My last birthday, one of many, I got one birthday card.  It was from a guy I use to work with that I'd helped when his family was going thru some hard times.  Yes, a black man.  We still stay in touch, and occasionally meet in Bmt to eat together.  Skin color doesn't make good or bad, it's what's in our hearts.  I even know a few democrats who are good folks (don't get the Big Head Hoops).

    nappyroots reacted to RETIREDFAN1 in There's Water in God's Plan   
    There’s Water in God’s Plan
    By: Jim Crews
    Water has always been a part of God’s plan of salvation. 
    In the time before the Flood, God chose to use water as the means of destroying a sin-cursed world. 
    Genesis 6: 17
    I'm sure there were many other means at His disposal, but God chose to send a great flood upon the earth, by which he removed the corruption, and saved Noah and his family.
    I Peter 3:20
    Water was shown to be a dividing line between the filthy and the cleansed. Why did God choose to do it this way? That’s His business, not mine. I don’t question God. 

    When God delivered the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage, he led them to the Red Sea. This was not the regular route out of Egypt. It would have been closer to go to the north, where there was a dry-land route. But God led them to the sea, and made for them a path between walls of water. They were immersed in cloud and sea.
    I Corinthians 10:1-2
    When Pharaoh's army tried to follow them, the sea crashed back in on them and destroyed them. Water was shown to be a dividing line between bondage and freedom. Why did God choose to do it this way? That’s His business, not mine. I don’t question God. 
    When Naaman, captain of the Syrian army, came to God's prophet for healing of his leprosy, he was told to wash in the Jordan, seven times. 
    II Kings 5:10
    It does seem a strange requirement.  Naaman thought it was and was angered by it. 
    II Kings 5: 11 - 12
    He reasoned that his home-land rivers were better than the Jordan. They were, if water was all that was needed. But of course water was only the medium chosen by God for this miracle.
     
     
     

    When Naaman submitted to God's command, and dipped seven times in the Jordan, he was healed of his leprosy. Some may ask if  there was something in the water that contributed to this healing.  The answer, of course, is yes.  Naaman was in the water, where God told him to be. The healing was by God's power, but it was applied only to an obedient subject. Water became the dividing line between sickness and health.
    Why did God choose to do it this way? That’s His business, not mine. I don’t question God.
    When Jesus healed the man born blind he used water as the dividing line between blindness and sight. 
    John 9: 1
    John 9: 6 - 7
    He anointed the man's eyes with clay and told him to go wash in Siloam’s pool. 
    I do not know why He did it this way. I only know that the man was blind until he did what the Lord told him to do. When he washed, he could see.
     

    God, with divine power, cleansed the world, freed Israel, healed the leper, and gave sight to the blind. In all these manifestations of His power He chose to use water. He told the subjects to use that water as He directed. He withheld the blessing until their faith was demonstrated by their obedience. I do not know why. It has never occurred to me to question God.
    It is hard for me to understand why people who claim to have faith in God, will question His command to be immersed in water to have their sins forgiven and washed away. 
    Mark 16: 16
    Acts 2:38
    Acts 22:16
    Seeing all of His examples throughout the Bible, is it so strange that God would choose to use water as the dividing line between the old life of sin, and the new Christian life? 
    Romans 6:3-4 
    The more puzzling question is how someone who claims to be a  believer,  could "reject the counsel of God against himself?
    Luke 7:30
     

    There are millions of people in the world today who refuse to be immersed in water to have their sins washed away, receiving the promised gift of the Holy Spirit. Water is the dividing line in God’s Plan for the redemption of sinful humanity. Why did God choose to do it this way? That’s His business. I don’t question God, I obey Him. 
    Do you want to be saved? The Lord told you how.
    Luke 13: 3
    Matthew 10: 32 - 33
    Mark 16: 16
    Revelation 2: 10
    Why not submit to HIS will, instead of being stubborn and burning? Why not plunge into the waters of baptism and be cleansed and made whole?
