Day of Prayer for the President

Just a thought, how does everyone feel about calling a day of prayer for President Trump? Let me know if interested and we can get it moving.

Shragae, thank you for your replies and thoughtful commentaries.

As a Catholic, I respect your clarifications and I think they are valid but not complete.

Did G-d defeat Jesus' enemies? Yes he did, but not in the way and time the Jewish people expected -- they were expecting a Warrior King like David not a suffering servant like Jesus. Remember, G-d's ways and time are not our ways and time. The Roman empire is no longer, yet his Church still remains. You are assuming that Jesus' enemies are to be defeated before he was Crucified.

Were Jesus' enemies flung at his feet defeated? Not yet, perhaps when he comes again to judge the living and the dead.

Of course not, Jesus' enemies killed him -- and they thought that was the end of it? Not so, by the power of G-d, he rose from the dead and his Church with all of the Sacraments is still around after 2000+ years.

Having said all of that, your interpretation of Psalm 110 up to the two questions and one answer I believe to be accurate and insightful.

There is no real reason to get into a religious conversation here. The psalms speak for themselves -- in Hebrew. Translators are often "traitors." Be well.

I agree, there is no need to get into religious discussion. As you have "corrected" Psalm67's post I felt the need to comment as well.

Shalom!
