Italy blocks U.S. use of air base for Iran war; Trump slams allies - The Washington Post Excerpts: “In the spectrum that ranges from Rutte to Sánchez, the core is definitely shifting towards the latter. From Daddy to Baddie,” said Nathalie Tocci, director of the Rome-based Institute for International Affairs.

Vincenzo Camporini, former chief of staff of the air force and defense and now scientific adviser to the Institute for International Affairs, said Washington should not be surprised that allies are hesitating to cooperate given the lack of consultation ahead of the war.

“I believe that this has to do with the fact that this operation was launched without any consultation, without any consideration about the need to at least inform the allied countries,” Camporini said. “You cannot do like something like that and then request very, very abjectly the support of the nations. I think this is something which should be considered by Washington.”

Franklin Graham: Trump sharing gospel letter appropriate | WORLD

Who is excluded from inheriting the Kingdom of God? (this article includes Bible passages on who inherits the kingdom of God – important to know these in the true context of believing the Gospel and following Christ)

“Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

“The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Galatians 5:19-21)

“For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person-that is, an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” (Ephesians 5:5)

“But to the cowardly and unbelieving, the vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars-their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

Should these verses have been included in Franklin Graham’s letter shared by Donald Trump?
