It wouldn't have mattered, and he surely knew it. The process of declassifying documents involves several layers of bureaucracy, all of which proved to be deeply entrenched against Trump.
Even if he started the process back in July, it would still somehow be stuck in red tape. Whatever did get out would be so heavily redacted as to be illegible. The majority would never make it to the public eye at all before Biden's admin came in and quietly shut it down.
It's also a really nice mug. Took 3.5 months to get mine, but it's now my BMF.
So you want Trump to commit obvious, tangible crimes, when the entire system has already tried to hang him based on imaginary ones?
Yeah. That strategy is sure to work!
You want 'agent provocateurs', you go BE one on the ground, yourself. Stop asking Trump to be God.
Agreed on the Republican front.
Disagree on Trump. He IS fighting. There are limits to what one man can do, when the GOP establishment, law enforcement, and military are all lined up to support a corrupt system instead of their President.
WE have to make up the difference. Blaming Trump is wussing out on our own responsibility as citizens.
Every time you fall to the level of childish ad hominen, a pepe gets its wings.
Keep it up!
Apparently you didn't read my responses, then. Seriously. Look at the last paragraph of both my first and second response.
Please try to be better, this is embarassing.
That's not even defensible by secular scholarship or religious history, let alone Christian theology. Your wikipedia link - already a questionable source of scholarly information - doesn't even mention Jehovah.
So far you've made a number of extreme claims. When asked to back them up, you've posted links to low quality articles of dubious scholarship, and refrained from answering any questions with specifics or reasoning.
This is very much a pearls and swine situation. I don't say that to insult you. But you're coming out swinging with the same kind of energy as this fellow: https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2019/09/9ff3a93c-f75f-4adf-a10e-8b54cbc8449a.jpeg
I'd say about the same amount of intellectually honest theology as well.
Is that supposed to be some sort of backhanded ad hominem? Neither that nor the expletives are necessary. unless your intent is to undermine your credibility to other readers.
What are your specific arguments? That article is full of fairly general ones, and some rather speculative assumptions about dating. Which is to say, the entire framework of the argument presented is soaked in atheistic, liberal propositions that assume Scripture cannot be accurate and Christ cannot be God.
So I ask again, what are your specific arguments?
Scripture never says it is God who does the torture. Rather, it is the lack of God.
Consider the cat metaphor. For the sake of this exercise, imagine that everything it could eat, drink, or breathe originated from its master. Now it scratches and bites that master every day, utterly rejecting its owner.
When the owner gives the cat up, it also takes with it all the things it had provided. The cat has nothing to eat, nothing to parch its tongue, and nothing to fill it's aching lungs. This is torture. But is it the master's fault, when he pleaded with the cat every day? When all of those things were originally gifts from the master himself?
Or is it the fault of the cat who despised its kind master, and fought to escape him?
This is where we humans are with God. If we reject Him, revile Him, and try to escape from Him... he accepts our proposal. Hell is a terrible place, but it's not because God is down there actively torturing people. All the pain and suffering stems from the exact opposite problem - the absence of God.
The good news - the literal Good News - is that God desires for all to be saved from this. He will keep inviting you to accept Him, every single day of your life. God is waiting to throw His arms wide open and pull you into a cosmic bear hug. All you - all anyone has to do - is acknowledge your rebellion, and accept that Christ paid the price for your transgressions.
The 'synoptic problem' is the seminary version liberal academia's attempts to reinvent reality to suit their vision. It is pushed by individuals with an a priori disregard for the authenticity of Scripture.
In a court of law, do we consider the agreement of witness statements to be a problem? Of course not. We consider that evidence that the witness testimony is reliable.
If three friends all tell you they had a good meal at a particular restaurant, do you immediately jump to the conclusion that there must have been a fourth friend - one you have never met - who actually went to the restaurant, so you can't possibly trust their accounts? No, that would be utterly ridiculous.
The 'synoptic problem' is not an actual problem for theologians, lay or professional. The Gospel of John doesn't even have any meaningful differences, or contradictions; rather, John focuses on certain truths and events over the ones the other Gospels centered on. If you disagree, go ahead and list meaningful discrepancies. Take your time. I'll wait.
Because the same deep state we blame for obstructing him, falsifying investigations against him, and working to remove him as President, are also responsible for following instructions to declassifying information.
It would have been an empty gesture.
