The Petra Zone

I have an oppinion. An oppinion on how things should be done is not an attack. I talk about Europe too so according to your logic I'm attacking myself. The best countries in the world are those in which we can have an open and honest discussion. If you are afraid of that you do not really believe in...

And yet far poorer countries have been taking far more than the USA and Europe. I wonder why you guys need to continue your personal attacks. Why is it not enough for you to just disagree and provide oppinions and facts for everyone to see? Only those who cannot really justify their cause to a ratio...

Brent, I fear it is not going to continue like that. Your status has declined hugely because of Trump. You can say I have no say or you can claim I lack common sense. I feel free to voice my oppinion. And I have yet to see convincing arguments for not helping refugees from Syria. Talking down to me ...

And neither should we just close our eyes and ignore those in need.

No. And no one suggested that. You keep going to extremes.

My point is simply this: Christians have limited resources, and it is our responsibility to use discretion to ensure that those resources are used to do the most good. Sometimes that means putting you and your family first. I just wonder how one could justify the claim that the resources are used t...

But again we are not talking about everyone or anybody so the analogy misses the point. And it even seems to presuppose that quite many of those who are in need are evil or dangerous. I do not think such an assumption is fair. It is very generalizing. It seems more to the point to imagine that you w...

If you had read more than the first paragraph, you would have seen that I was not only talking about the USA but also Europe. As a consequence most of you assumptions are wrong. I dislike the "you don't know what you are talking about" approach for quite many reasons. What I was adressing was a mora...

To claim that one can only help those in need by screwing those already here seems very one-dimensional in itself. Why would one need to screw anyone by helping someone else? I wonder why a Christian, or anyone else for that matter, would have to think in those narrow minded terms. It is always easy...

Just to make sure we understand each other correctly. I have no problem admitting that there are some problems in Sweden and Germany due to a very large number of refugees among wich very few are extremists or terrorist. Hundreds of thousands of them are not and they could be left dying or living un...

I am no expert on RT (formerly Russia Today) but I wonder why you would put too much trust in that media. Two very important facts about it convinced me we should be sceptical. First of all it is Russian and while Russians in themselves are not suspicious, the media in Russia do not live with the sa...

Well of course the government is going to issue statements like that, it is affecting their image, makes them look weak when there are no go zones. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39047455 Hi Dan. Thank you for your response to the content i linked to. Well, I'll agree that is one way you can ...

Lichens was 21 back then. That fact in itself is important. When I think back or talk to anyone being only 21 I often wonder why Petra would go for such a young man.

I think this one is important. The Swedish governtment has provided some facts on migration. I did post it once before. If that was deleted on purpose let me know. There is no intention on my side to provoke or cause disorder. I think this the topic is very relevant and of great significance. And it...

I don't think they viewed it as a hard task, aside from people wishing they weren't there and Bob was. Petra music is pretty simple stuff to play. That said, when John ran his Bob-less Petra band in the 90s, the band deviated from the original chords/arrangements, for various reasons. Pete came fro...
