    Still waiting for your take on how your God wrote the Bible.
    Just gave it to you.


    Quote:


    Most of all, you are under conviction of your need for Christ. I remember how that was.


    I don't know what Fundie-speak is. Please tell us about "under conviction for Christ". And, as long as you brought it up, what do you remember?
    It's actually Jesus speak.

    John 16:7-11 7But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9about sin, because people do not believe in me; 10about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

    He didn't write them nor did he publish them. And my books aren't "little". You'd need both hands to hold one of them.

    Although, I am so surprised at all the good Trump did with his profits -- building neighborhoods of "tiny homes" for the homeless and residents of crime-ridden inner-city apartments, with his huge influence and great wealth establishing major grocery stores and family restaurants in those tiny-home neighborhoods, funding police departments to include social workers, establishing gun buy-back programs in US cities, and so much more! </sarcasm>

    Here's one (March 24, 2021):
    ***Donald Trump's namesake Washington, D.C. hotel has just been hit with another devastating, potentially deadly blow to business.
    The luxury travel agency Virtuoso just announced it will no longer list the hotel, or any of the Trump Organization’s properties for that matter, on its website.

    A spokesperson for the agency confirmed that Trump Hotels is no longer a preferred partner with the company and so its properties have been scrubbed from its roster.***

    Maybe he should have done like Harris and Biden and given a whopping 1 percent to charity.

    so did I call you a liar? Are you willing to be honest and clear that up?

    No, you didn't. It's not necessary to lie, just tell the truth of what you believe, and spare us the Bible quotes. If you can't express the idea in your own words, that's answer enough that you have no idea how god wrote the bible.

    I asked you about Fundie-speak re "conviction in Christ" - your words. Still can't answer? I guess you forgot about what you said you remembered.

    A random Bible quote? In lieu of something to do with the discussion? You're REALLY getting desperate.

    If the Bible can’t help you, then you have problems.

    Wg , you can’t show where I twisted your words. I don’t think I’ve changed any of your quotes, but if you can point me to one, we can discuss it. Where did I call you a liar? Honest?? Will you be honest about that?

    Your fake quoting of me in Post #28:
    "I would own 11 hotels too, but my husband wouldn't let me!"

    What I really said in Post #27:
    "My husband refused to move to a different house."

The reason that this won't go down and it is all theater is that if you go to trial for a criminal case ,you need to convince 12 juror's to unanimously find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt . Even in NY that is not likely .

    The reason Vance is bringing this to Grand Jury is that he doesn't want to sole responsibility if the case is concluded with an acquittal .

    More likely and safer for him will be when he charges the Trump organization and not Trump himself. The organization MAY be guilty of crimes and the jury MAY convict . But the more I think about it ,the less I believe Trump will be charged .

    They claimed they had the proof in the Stormy Daniels charge and that went nowhere either in charges by the DA or by the FEC .

    Meanwhile Vance has outsourced the investigation of the taxes to an outside organization ( FTI Consulting ) at tremendous expense to NY taxpayers

    I would imagine they can document whatever they present to a grand jury and corroborate witness statements. If not they will look awfully foolish. Almost as foolish as the dufus brigade claiming the election was stolen and the dufus is innocent of any wrong doing. maybe he is but given his history I sure wouldn't bet the farm on it. Doubt you would either.

    Your quote. "I've definitely accomplished far more and better than he ever has in public relations and in communications and in publishing. His "business" acumen is a joke. (Plus he doesn't know what the word "acumen" means.)" You said his business acumen is a joke, thus plainly implying that you know more than he does.

    At any rate, enough of this sophomoric exchange. I did not call you a liar about publishing books, and you are too proud to admit it.

    Not bizarre at all, any one who was gifted a million dollars by their family had a head start and it doesn't take much nouse to invest in property, Trump had the ability to convince people to lend him money, no great business acumen in that and he proved a lack of it by bankruptcy after bankruptcy which proves him a thief or a fool.

    The people who have more business acumen than Trump are those who have made it on their own

    Says the man who accomplished about 1/10 of 1% of what Trump accomplished. Guys, you can hate him if you want to, but to suggest he was not really good at business is foolish. 11 luxury hotels alone tell you that.

    he built $1million into over $2 billion . He owns hundreds of properties world wide .They are residential ,commercial ,recreational .They are estates ,hotels , they are golf courses ,casinos ;there is even vineyards. There are state parks Trump donated . There are in total over 500 entities that Trump is either sole owner or principle owner. Half have his name .There are others you would not even recognize as Trump owned . His business interests are not only real estate . He has had his hand in various entertainment enterprises ,publishing ,broadcasting production with top rated shows,financial services ,and some his lesser known enterprises are in fashion apparel, jewelry and accessories, books, restaurants , home furnishings, lighting products, bath textiles and accessories, bedding, home fragrance products, small leather goods, vodka, wine, barware, steaks, chocolate bars, and bottled spring water airlines and sports leagues .He turned losing and dilapidated ice skating rinks and carousels in NYC into money making ventures for the city .

    You don't know what I accomplished, stop talking through your hat. Trump is the master of failed businesses, he is also the master of failed politics

    Yes, yes. You were no doubt a genius at business. I'm sure your net worth far exceeded Trump's 2.5 billion dollars.

    We'll play your game. 1/10 of 1% of 2.5 bil would be 2.5 million dollars. I'm going to go way out on a limb here and guess that your net worth does not amount to that much. Correct?? And if you don't want to answer, and that is certainly your choice, then stop the nonsense about people and hats.

    Jesus would not have needed to answer at all since He would not have said the silly comments you did.

    I'm not applauding Trump or his net worth. He is no stalwart of great character, but the attempts on this board to portray him as a poor businessman simply amount to lying, and other attempts to portray members of this board as paragons of writing, publishing, and business are silliness.

    Typical evasive response. You make dumb comments, but it's someone else who's silly. Got it!

    I have no doubt you were good at business. I accept that completely. When you compare yourself to a multi-billionaire it's lunacy, and it certainly appears to just be your hatred of anything American coming out.

    I don't hate everything american, but as I have said before I dislike your foreign policy, your aire of superiority, your multinationalism, your corporations and there are many aspects of the way your nation works I dislike, most of all your hypocrisy.
