This is the official Online Baptist voting poll. If you need another option added to the poll, just let me know. Then media loves pols (when it favors them), but I think they will ignore our poll. ?

I do not know how many people here are dependent on getting through each month because they receive a Social Security check. I expect there are some and I am sure all who are here know of people, have friends and fellow church-members who would be in serious trouble if that monthly check disappeared. I am very concerned as it seems Trump wants to destroy Social Security. https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/politics/515843-fact-checking-the-fact-checkers-trump-does-indeed-plan-to?fbclid=IwAR3ASB3nFQQplj-HQUwWn7Uyf9ITtPToSSg-ceF1-WGgjeKmYWhhFCEwJ3E He has not said this directly, but he has said he will do away with the Social Security tax. if there is no tax i…

I could not help myself. I laughed out loud when I read about Trump bragging abut taking the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) test and 'acing' it. And even funnier, bragging about the doctors being surprised how well he did. Immediately it came to mind, "Why would the doctors be surprised? Did they feel he had been showing signs of dementia? The impression Trump made was that this was a difficult cognitive test. I do wonder why they gave him the test? Hmmmm. Well, I guess it is good to know that he can identify a lion, a rhinoceros, and a camel. Also, that he can put hands on a clock showing 11:15. That he can connect the dots, and that he can duplicate a lined c…

As we found out in 2016, polls are not completely accurate and not an indication of what will happen at the voting booth. I keep seeing poll after poll of Biden having a decent size lead for the Presidential election. My question is, do you think that Biden has a chance of winning in November? This is not to discuss who you're voting for, but to see if you think the polls are accurate this time around.

Interesting article in the link below. Of course there are 100s daily similar to this on independent news sites lately. Our Lord did tell us that wars, famine, pestilence and earthquakes would be in a diversity of areas on the earth RIGHT BEFORE they come for us. Matthew 24 guillotines Prepare yourselves; your chance to NOT DENY the Lord is approaching quick IMO. They won't be just mocking us soon!

President Trump's trusted medical advisor knew this was coming in 2017 The Mueller Hoax failed, The Quid pro quo hoax/impeachment failed: Is COVID-19 the back up plan to remove Trump and the National sovereignty mindset from the world? Is it the last resort of the original Insurance Policy communicated by the FBI in 2016? Coincidence? Was it just an "educated" guess? He seemed pretty authoritative in the statement but then caught himself and walked it back speaking of diseases during every presidency in general. I wonder, was he "educated" by his deep state colleagues? More from this "expert" Delusion increases, keep your eyes open

The land of Israel is firmly established by a written Covenant, the Bible, to the physical, descendants of Abraham, Issac and Jacob: the Jews. The Israeli Ambassador, the Honourable Danny Danon, explains it very plainly when, after quoting Genesis 17:7 & 8, he said, while holding up the Bible, "This is the deed to our land."

DaveW asked Please don't misunderstand the question that I have asked twice now. You are not responsible for the actions of any other person who signs up here. I am simply interested if you know some of these guys who periodically attack this forum on such issues which you are sympathetic with. Since you have refused to answer I can only assume you do know "Brother D" from another forum.

Bruce Jenner - you know the one - that guy who made huge headlines because he reckons he is not - is now set to get married. Now wait for it - this guy who says he is a girl wants to get married...... to a 21 year old girl. So now the guy who says he is a girl turns out to like girls enough to want to marry (another) one. Shows the lie about where his head is - he really does know what he is, he just doesn't want to accept it. If what he says about himself was true he would be "marrying" a guy not a girl. Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are …
