American Voters Support...? 

     Sen. Cruz says Americans don't support most policies that Democrats want to enact...abortion at any stage, the Second Amendment, etc. (This he wrote well before the recent election.) Overwhelming majorities support the Second Amendment. Views assumes that these topics were not what drove so many voters to the left. Iran might be something, but nothing like the cost of gasoline. 

     Cruz says, "Democrats want unelected judges to decree their left-wing position, and to disenfranchise voters whose views they dislike. The attempt to delegitimize the Supreme Court is an attack on democracy itself. Democrats beat their chests and claim to be defending 'Democracy,' while (splitting) out a critical institution designed to protect it." 

     "Today's Democrats (claim) to defend what they are in fact attacking, and (claim) to oppose what they are actively promoting. (Views has thought as much.) That is why Clarence Thomas represents such a threat. He is standing in their way." They hate this exceptional man of color. 

Church Unity? 

     On Thursday we wrote of Jesus' expectation that all believers "may be one" and there will be "complete unity with one Lord." 

     Five centuries ago, Christian leaders in Rome were not following the Word. Believers throughout Italy broke free and called themselves Lutherans, although Martin Luther didn't approve that. A war between Christians and Catholics lasted for months and cost many lives.

     Elsewhere, Christian organizations includes Methodists, Presbyterians, Grace, Hope, Victorious Life, Faith Community, First Assembly of God, Peace Fellowship, Cornerstone, Baptist, Mennonites, Church of Christ, Nazarene, Quaker, Seventh Day Adventist, Episcopal and many others. Yours truly belonged to five of these - from one job to another, and to retirement. (Not retirement from our faith).

     Let's say, some in each denomination have been or will be saved. And others in each denomination have not been nor will be saved. Jesus, mostly, and humans in the Bible are our teachers. Our response and Holy Spirit guidance determines salvation, not the name or wealth of any organization.
