1 John 2:1-29 gives us guidelines to love of neighbor vs to not love the world. I also realize that the sins referred to in places like Leviticus 18, 19, & 20 etc. are the same as what St. Paul refers to in the later verses of Romans 1. However, Paul was commissioned to preach the Gospel of...

The late President John F Kennedy was known to have mistresses while in office but it was overlooked. Trump is challenging the claims of a porn actress & her testimony is a done deal for many anti Trumpers. Despite his shortcomings, I believe JFK was probably still a good president. Everything...

The Lord said how we are to treat each other as we would want to be treated is the law and prophets ( Matthew 7:12). The Lord said that the law & prophets are dependent on the 2 great commandments to love God & neighbor ( Matthew 22:36-40). Our Lord told the rich young man the commandments for...

I pray for the souls of those lost. Maybe there was a miracle for some to know the Lord Jesus Christ before death & be saved. It seems that on this earth, this president was a fiend. There are actually people in Iran celebrating his death. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1rrnppp5lno

The book I have linked by late Archbishop Paul of Finland is a good, easy & short read. If you can get it, it is only about 100 pages. Anymore, I prefer shorter reads also.

I believe Matthew 22:31-40 is instructive. The Lord is preaching about the resurrection, declaring God is of the living ( so even the earthly departed must live), & concludes with the 2 great commandments. I can’t see how our Lord’s Prayer ( Matthew 6:9-13) does not apply also in part here.

Romans 11:22-23.

delete, sorry wrong thread

I’m single but I would think either parent doing what is right for faithful family living should be a holy life ( like what St. Paul says in Ephesians 6:1-4).

This is a very good little book with a substantial and short overview of the Church by the late Archbishop Paul of Finland. It is from 1978 and timeless in itself. The link is good despite the vague address. https://www.amazon.com/Faith-We-Hold-English-Finnish/dp/091383663X

Gutting sound law enforcement in general leads to more crime in general. Instilling a reasonable fear of law breaking can only help society overall ( Romans 13:1-7). Having more social sanity would help reduce insanity in general.

No, for bad policies that lead to more crime in society in general. Yes, I am serious but not as you try to spin it.

A nutcase of any political bent might think twice of committing a crime if there is a greater respect for general law enforcement. This is on a state, federal, & local level and this includes law enforcement departments as well as general society. Like poverty, crime will always be a problem...

Of course it is not related to the criminal environment that has plagued California. I forget that the Pelosis must live in Utah or somewhere else.

Maybe California has rediscovered law enforcement is actually needed for society to function. In child sex trafficking, the demos initially obstructed sound prosecution...
