I think we can all agree that it is wrong when justice is not applied equally. Despite that, the people who complain about the injustice and the people who lead the cities with high black on black crime and high black death and murder rates all tend to be Democrats and leftists. It is inconsistent to complain about something while continuing to elect leaders who have consistently failed to take meaningful or beneficial action.

I have not watched the video yet ( will later) but I would add one other issue - Politicians that delight in exploiting Blacks and Black suffering for their personal power and gain. But not to appear too racists - I would add that such politicians will gladly delight in exploiting anyone that believes anything provided by the government is free. The Traveler

To quote from this: Halt here means limping and is a different and much older word to the one meaning to stop (which was originally a German military term of the late sixteenth century). It has long been archaic. We know it today almost exclusively in the set phrases the halt and the lame and the halt, the lame and the blind, though we do retain halting in phrases such as halting speech, where it means slow and hesitant.

Recently I have had some discussions with @Jonah and @romans8 about critical concepts of the nature of G-d. I thought that this is a sufficiently important topic that a thread devoted to this subject be opened. I do this so we can ask one another about various personal notions as well as to discuss deep seeded doctrine we learn through our trusted religious leaders and documentation (scripture). I will begin with a short summary of years of my own personal study, devotions and personal experience. I call this summary the 5 basic guiding principles of any personal relationship one can have with G-d. 1. G-d will not do anything for anyone that they can do for themselves. 2. G-d will do anything for anyone that they cannot do for themselves. 3. G-d will not do anything that is detrimental to anyone's eternal salvation. 4. G-d will do anything that is beneficial to anyone's eternal salvation. 5. G-d will not do anything or cause anything to happen without the individuals personal approval - this means that we have agency and free will in dealing with G-d and his works. There are many questions in religious circles concerning such things as the Eden epoch, evolution, the end of days and many topics that directly relate to man and our relationship with G-d. I will gladly discuss any topic but my personal notions will always be inclusive of the 5 statements above. I would be most interested in anyone's personal impressions of G-d and how they came by such notions. I hope some will find this thread useful and enlightening. The Traveler

I think in the context of the scripture, #2 would be the most appropriate.

I have referred to it many times when studying the Book of Mormon. Halt. 1) To stop in walking; to hold. In military affairs, the true sense is retained, to stop in a march. The army halted at noon. 2) To limp, that is, to stop with lameness 3) To hesitate; to stand in doubt whether to proceed, or what to do
