PETER DOOCY: "You talked about how you hoped to end the war in Ukraine because it might help you get into heaven. How does this help? Does this help?"

Doocy has become quite the lone wolf shill…when Democrats are in all the rest of them are shilling, a flock of shills…
herd?
That's a nice bit of humility.
Luke 5:8
I find this interesting.In the Book of Mormon, one of the keepers of the record during his generation, wrote this:
“ Wherefore, in my days, I would that ye should know that I fought much with the sword to preserve my people, the Nephites, from falling into the hands of their enemies, the Lamanites. But behold, I of myself am a wicked man, and I have not kept the statutes and the commandments of the Lord as I ought to have done.”
Later in the record, it is said of a certain king:
“ And after that he had established himself king he did ease the burden of the people, by which he did gain favor in the eyes of the people, and they did anoint him to be their king. And he did do justice unto the people, but not unto himself because of his many whoredoms; wherefore he was cut off from the presence of the Lord.”
"We're watching you. Doesn't your husband need to take some pictures of you or something??"
She's ba-ack.
A shylock of shills?

Unlike other elected officials who refuse to answer questions about anything, he pauses to explain the concept of humor to journalists.
Which does this exchange reveal more: the journalists' ignorance, humorlessness, resentment, contempt for religion, or sheer mendacity?
…eleven shills a shilling…
That’s a very good clip of Trump. As Tina notes, he lets down the mask a bit to explain the humor and messaging.
In this situation Trump is not "the decider" as our moronic 43rd president said. Heaven? God wil make that call. But Trump of course is joking and its good to hear some humility, although Trump is often humble and self-deprecating. It doesn't fit the Leftwing narrative, so the MSM doesn't emphasis it.
If you want arrogant asshole Presidents, look to the 2 Bushes and Biden. And you can throw in our President - wannabee Hillary. All three are disgusting egomaniacs.
…some where deep in the Althouse archives, back when many struggled mightily to understand Trump while many chose to mightily to misunderstand him, this simple explanation: It’s all a bit of an act bit he never breaks character. Almost never perhaps. I’d be humbled a bit today, too I suppose…
Reggie Jackson made it to baseball heaven, i.e. the Hall of Fame, but George Steinbrenner is the one who made all those pennants happen.
That was funny, and it’s nice to see the guy in such good spirits. He deserves it.
History is being made on live television this morning. Makes me wonder what next will we see coming again on live television?
On roller skates is the usual way.
Trump is such a funny and real guy. That speech shows it. And about 40% of the country hates him. Go figure.

Among arrogant asshole Presidents no one has topped Barack Obama in my lifetime. And I was born when Truman was in office.
Perfect answer from a non believer
Meanwhile on Reddit: Trump is senile, on his last legs with congestive heart failure, and this peace deal is all a distraction from the Epstein files.
Maybe the more interesting question is, if we didn't believe in heaven but rather a cycle of rebirth driven by karma, would Mr. Trump be reborn into favorable circumstances?
None of us are worthy. Salvation is granted only through the grace of God.

How does Obama not top that list. Fucker said that the oceans would stop rising because of him.
“I made life better for a lot of people.” A true worshipper of God. Isaiah 58.
Heaven Must Be Missing A President.
…within earshot of President Trump.
One may also hope for apokatastasis to get into Heaven.
Maybe a mostly informal president is not such a bad thing. Too much formality could serve as a screen for... things the powerful fights to keep hidden.
Trump is just recognizing scripture:
“Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
Easier, but not impossible.
“Reggie Jackson made it to baseball heaven, i.e. the Hall of Fame, but George Steinbrenner is the one who made all those pennants happen."
I had a friend from high school who worked his way up to be one of the Angels clubhouse managers. He told me Jackson was the kind of guy who used the younger members of the org (including batboys) to procure young women that caught his eye. An insufferable narcissist.
“How does Obama not top that list. Fucker said that the oceans would stop rising because of him.”
Obama wouldn’t make his list because he was tight with fundamentalist Islam.
’Fucker said that the oceans would stop rising because of him.
It’s not a lie if you believe it…
Headline at The Jerusalem Post: God Bless the Peacemaker, with a yuge photo of Trump. Didn’t they hear that Biden is responsible for this peace deal? lol

What is a believer?
This is how Christians believe and is scripturally documented, you enter the Great White throne where every knee will bow and your name is either in or not in the Book of Life.
Core Beliefs
Faith in Jesus Christ: Central to Christian belief is the conviction that Jesus is the Son of God who died for humanity's sins and was resurrected. According to John 14:6, Jesus states, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." This emphasizes that faith in Jesus is the only path to heaven.
Repentance: Christians believe that acknowledging one's sins and genuinely repenting is crucial. This involves turning away from sin and seeking God's forgiveness. Romans 6:23 highlights that "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord," indicating that forgiveness through Jesus leads to eternal life.
Salvation as a Gift: Salvation is viewed as a gift from God, not something that can be earned through good deeds. Ephesians 2:8-9 states, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." This underscores the belief that faith, rather than personal merit, secures a place in heaven.
The Role of Jesus' Sacrifice: Christians believe that Jesus' death on the cross was the ultimate sacrifice for sin, allowing believers to be reconciled with God. John 3:16 expresses this belief: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life".
Eternal Life: The promise of eternal life in heaven is a fundamental aspect of Christian hope. Believers look forward to a place free from suffering and sin, where they will be in the presence of God. Revelation 21:4 describes heaven as a place where "there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain".
In summary, Christians believe that entering heaven is based on faith in Jesus Christ, repentance from sin, and acceptance of God's grace through salvation. This belief is rooted in biblical teachings and forms the foundation of Christian hope for eternal life.
When trump was asked in an interview does he ask God for forgiveness he said I don't I just try to do good things. Saving 7000 people is not qualification for entry, Repentance of sin for a guy who never apologizes for anything and the proof he doesn't even know the basic tenets of born again Christians and Jesus statements about HE is the way ,truth and Life to eternity with Him. You don't do good works to get into heaven, Good works come from following Jesus guidelines and His Word.. I have never once heard trump mention JESUS name. FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD That's ALL, no special dispensations like some religions tell you ALL Christians BELIEVE IN THE END every knee will bow. FAITH- being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we have not seen (Hebrews 1)Salvation is a Gift not a score of things you have done. Only God knows the true heart and in the end that's where the judgement will be if you are a BELIEVER. And all Gods people shout AMEN...
Perfect answer from a believer. God is not fooled.
The promise of eternal life based on certain conditions being met is the biggest tell that religion is a racket
A believer is a sucker. Trump is quite obviously not a sucker. Here's the Creator and master of suckers.
Its not a drivd through Howard
Buzzfeed headline: TRUMP ADMITS HE'S A DEVIL WORSHIPER WHO'S GOING TO HELL!
Is buzzard feed still around
That would probably be the daily basilisk thats where that mediaite guy comes from
Tina. Embrace the power of "and"
the eye of a needle
I was told by a Catholic priest that one of the arched gates leading into Jerusalem in those days was particularly narrow and was colloquially known as "The Eye of the Needle". Camels could traverse it, but only with special care on the part of their driver. It's likely that this metaphorical saying of Christ was meant to be regarded as difficult but achievable rather than altogether hopeless.
It is said this is so because the rich man has plenty of resources but the poor man has little but his faith
Easy-peasy, Donny. Believe in Jesus and stop living like a pagan, and you've got a good shot.
Trump is funny--and he's also a realist. The shape note hymn, A Beautiful Life, has a refrain that captures reality. At the end of your life, you "go to meet the deeds you've done". Well believers believe there is a Heaven. I'm a bit more pragmatic--at the end of one's life, there's a weighing up of the good and the bad. And if you are a reflective individual, that weighing will take place in your mind. Trump will have some 'splaining to do--but he has done a lot of good.
I'm pretty sure that Trump, if he's serious and being realistic about his chances, is likely in much better shape than the super self proclaimed righteous types.
Jesus talked once about the Pharisee and the publican praying, asking about who was better: the publican beating his breast and saying "forgive me a sinner" or the Pharisee loudly thanking God that he was better than everyone else.
Is there a heaven? What is heaven like?
The heaven described to me is a place with no suffering or pain or evil.
That sounds really boring to me. A lot like what I would think purgatory is described as.
Are they pumping drugs into you in heaven to make you happy? What makes you happy in heaven? Being close to god? Is he just a giant dopamine injector?
The Calvinist angle is interesting, but I wonder how much predestination survives in modern American Presbyterian and Dutch Reformed churches. Trump's sometime pastor, Norman Vincent Peale, wrote "The Power of Positive Thinking" -- very Trumpian, not so Calvinist.
I suppose it's good if politicians don't pretend that they are good enough to be heavenbound, but historically it's been the desire to achieve worldly repute and glory that's been their undoing. Wilson and Bush wanting to democratize and liberalize the world. LBJ not wanting to be the first president to lose a war. Carter trying to be the great peacemaker.

Reggie Jackson already had three World Series rings with the Oakland A's before he signed with the New York Yankees.
Parsing the character of heaven is unproductive, it is beyond the understanding that humans are given. So just go with it and see what happens. No one has any data unless you are dead.

Doubting Thomas does not approve.
Why are people telling us how great heaven is if they don’t know what it is?

Because an afterlife is way better than being a rotting corpse in a box, doing nothing while the worms eat your eyeballs. Hello.
Best movie about the afterlife? A Matter of Life and Death. Wonderful.
But if you're interested in the afterlife for real, check out the amazing doc, After Death. It's a fact-based examination of what people have witnessed. Really interesting.

What is better?
Heaven is environment built on moral principles. The ethically minded will consider it a "burden" and will be sent to a sanctuary where they can exercise liberal license as they did in the progressive past.
What is better?
Life! Being alive! Life is better than death.
Mugger: "Your money or your life."
Jack Benny: "I'm thinking, I'm thinking."
Philosopher: "Life? Or death?"
Achilles: "I'm thinking, I'm thinking."
Is President Donald Trump going to hell? We asked President Donald Trump for further clarity.
