#commoncore doesnt teach cursive anymore

You think Barron goes to a public school with the plebs?

I'm going to go out here on a limb and say that neither of the prep school that boy went to even gave a thought to using common core.

Cursive writing is going the way of Old English calligraphy. They do still teach it at my son’s school, though.

I just meant following the scripture itself, and not one of the confabulations of him that some people seem to have.

But, per usual, the actual comment being made is ignored.

ex·pound
ikˈspound/
verb
verb: expound; 3rd person present: expounds; past tense: expounded; past participle: expounded; gerund or present participle: expounding

present and explain (a theory or idea) systematically and in detail.
"he was expounding a powerful argument"
synonyms: present, put forward, set forth, propose, propound; More

Whats to expound on? You want me to explain whats right there in the Bible itself?

Uh, yes. isn't that what I asked for?

I just wanted to make sure you were seriously asking me to describe, in depth, what I know of Christ, because holy sh*t that's an absurd request. I've read the entire Bible, the gospels multiple times over, and for me to write in depth my thoughts on the matter would take days. So, no, I'm not going to do that.

Suffice to say, there is not a single aspect of Christs teachings that, as far as I can tell, Trump lives by. He's arrogant, dishonest, petty, greedy, lustful, boastful, and vain. If you would like to contest that claim, feel free to post scripture which refutes that.

Surprise me and expound on what you know about the ""Christ of the Bible". Is there another one we should know about?

I think that's all covered in Two Corinthians if I'm not mistaken.

You realize that none of us give two ***** about this and that this "War on Christmas" is just a figment of the right's imagination, right?

Careful...the kid is off limits.

I'm dying to hear trump expound about his walk with the Lord.

I've always said "Merry Christmas" without caring who I offend. Its nice to see this back at the White House.

I have literally never seen a single person care when that is said, but on no less than 3 occasions I've personally seen people get visibly irate when an employee said "Happy Holidays" to them. You'd think they'd rather their saviors birth not be used by those trying to sell them goods, but I don't think many people get past the knee-jerk WAR ON CHRISTMAS! impulse.

Does this mean Santa will come this year? Asking for a friend.

I always come with merry christmas, happy hanukkah, happy kwanzaa, and have a great day in one breath regardless of the 'who'.....

can't be too careful these days....it usually draws a laugh or few <

Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
Selamat Eid al Fitr
Joyous Kwanzaa

If you ever need to prove to someone that Trump supporters are snowflakes, just reference this thread.

6 pages over a Christmas card. Lol

Just refer back to the Beatitudes and then focus on the empty jesture of Donald Trump's gesture... Perhaps of he lived his life by these, this simple action might have a little meaning.

The Beatitudes
Matthew 5:1-12

5 One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, 2 and he began to teach them.

3
“God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

4
God blesses those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.

5
God blesses those who are humble,
for they will inherit the whole earth.

6
God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they will be satisfied.

7
God blesses those who are merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.

8
God blesses those whose hearts are pure,
for they will see God.

9
God blesses those who work for peace,
for they will be called the children of God.

10
God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

Well, that's certainly a lot more words than your compadre but I see little there that [b]negatively links Jesus's words to the actions of our POTUS[/b]. Perhaps you can shed some light on it for me.

That's the point. He's virtually the antithesis of anything Jesus actually preached.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I should have inserted the word "negatively".

Given that the Inn was only open for holidays: Valentine's Day, Easter, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years...

Holiday probably is the correct word to use.
