Exactly. People learn from experience. Even I agreed with some of the lefts nonsense when I was a teenager. I hadn’t lived life and learned the things I know today that made me decide to be a conservative. I learned most of those lessons the hard way, but am thankful that I did.

Here’s a better recap of what that means from a site I found:

YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH” REVEALS SOMETHING ABOUT GOD’S PEOPLE

  1. To understand what Jesus reveals about God’s people, now we must understand some things about salt

a. Salt is a preservative – rubbed into meat, for example, it prevents the meat from decaying, and keeps it good to eat

  1. Note that salt doesn’t make something good

  2. Salt can only keep something from becoming bad

b. Salt is an antiseptic – dissolved in a glass of water, it helps kill the germs that cause a sore throat

  1. You don’t gargle with salt-water to stay healthy

  2. You gargle to kill the germs

c. Salt is a seasoning agent – sprinkled on bland food, it helps to enhance the flavor

  1. Salt by itself doesn’t taste so good

  2. Salt applied to food makes it better

  1. When we make the application of this image of salt to the people to whom Jesus spoke, it becomes clearer what Jesus wanted his disciples to do

a. We are to function as a preservative in the world

  1. This applies specifically to the tendency of the world toward the rottenness of sin

  2. We do this by being different from the world in which we live

  3. I think you see this effect when a godly man or woman makes his or her presence known to the world

  4. Often, the fact that a godly person is present, stops the trend toward sin and worse sin

b. We are to function as an antiseptic in the world

  1. Again, this applies specifically to sin in the world

  2. We do this by living faithfully to God

  3. I think you see this effect when our involvement in life not only stops the trend toward sin, but turns the trend back toward God

  4. We do this when we have opportunity to help set the pace and the agenda by which the world lives

c. We are to be a seasoning agent in the world

  1. This applies to the fact that without God, life becomes dull and bland and causes people to seek the ever-elusive thrill

  2. Without God, man is on a never-ending quest for meaning and satisfaction

  3. You see the salt-effect in the changed lives, values, meaning and purpose in God’s people

  4. We do this by helping people see there is an alternative to the constant downward spiral of despair

I listened to a whole sermon on this once. Christian followers of Christ are the salt of the earth. Salt was very valuable in ancient times as you can see from this post. Everyone who follows Christ is a friend of God. Should a Christian lose his way, and go the way of the pagans, what good is he? He will lose his “savor“ and be cast away from the Lord.

Important to note though, salt can never lose its saltiness. It’s always NaCl. That never changes. This means that everyone is worth saving and anyone even if cast away can always be forgiven and return to salvation in the Lord. No one is ever past the point of saving, even those whom we might think don’t even deserve it.

To date, the most salt ever mined was in 2016 when Donald Trump won the United States election. The salt is still be harvested today.

It is expected that his nomination and subsequent confirmation of his third Supreme Court justice may exceed Election Day.

He wasn’t just calling out private arms ownership. He was calling out national AND private. Trying to sow unity among all people. However Utopian that might be, he wasn’t saying people should not own guns and governments should. He was saying no one should own weaponry.

He’s also calling for safety of children and restoration of the nuclear family along with education of children.

Quit posting divisive, fake, and anti-catholic garbage.

We cannot fail to acknowledge the devastating effects of the Covid-19 crisis on children, including unaccompanied young migrants and refugees. Violence against children, including the horrible scourge of child abuse and pornography, has also dramatically increased.

Millions of children are presently unable to return to school. In many parts of the world, this situation risks leading to an increase in child labour, exploitation, abuse and malnutrition. Sad to say, some countries and international institutions are also promoting abortion as one of the so-called “essential services” provided in the humanitarian response to the pandemic. It is troubling to see how simple and convenient it has become for some to deny the existence of a human life as a solution to problems that can and must be solved for both the mother and her unborn child.

I urge civil authorities to be especially attentive to children who are denied their fundamental rights and dignity, particularly their right to life and to schooling. I cannot help but think of the appeal of that courageous young woman, Malala Yousafzai, who speaking five years ago in the General Assembly, reminded us that “one child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world”.

The first teachers of every child are his or her mother and father, the family, which the Universal Declaration of Human Rights describes as the “natural and fundamental group unit of society”.[15] All too often, the family is the victim of forms of ideological colonialism that weaken it and end up producing in many of its members, especially the most vulnerable, the young and the elderly, a feeling of being orphaned and lacking roots. The breakdown of the family is reflected in the social fragmentation that hinders our efforts to confront common enemies. It is time that we reassess and recommit ourselves to achieving our goals.

They don’t think that hard about it. Some of them just think they’re oddly shaped rocks.
