\"Theresa<\/a>
Theresa May addresses the Republican Party<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today the Rt Hon Theresa May MP becomes the first world leader to meet President Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong>. The media is obsessed with their probable discussions on trade. The UK exports more to the US than we buy from them, so it could get tricky.<\/p>\n

But trade deals often focus on tariffs or the lifting of them and movement of people. Let us say again, nations do not need \u2018trade deals’ to trade. The UK and US are already trading. And there are such things as strategic industries. This Bible article shows they need protecting<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Theresa May thrilled the Republican Convention with her vision of a trading and military UK-US partnership. Commentators say Mrs May’s speech to the Republicans generally went down well with them. \u00a0(We have excepts from it here together with a link to the full text on the Downing Street website<\/a><\/strong>.) \u00a0But will her views go down well with the new President?<\/p>\n

Putin\u00a0still the bogey-man<\/h2>\n

Despite Mr Trump’s favourable noises towards President Putin, Mrs May cast the Russian Federation leader as a bogey-man, speaking of the anxieties of Baltic states and describing the return\u00a0of Crimea to Russia as \u2018illegal’. Reunification with Russia was backed by 95% of Crimea’s population<\/a><\/strong>. But she also talked about engaging and building relationships with Russia, \u2018from a position of strength’.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a>

On Wednesday UK Defence Secretary Michael Fallon went out of his way to insult Russia<\/a><\/strong>. He described their aircraft carrier as a \u2018ship of shame’ as it sailed through the English Channel. The UK does not have an operational aircraft carrier. Mr Fallon said the British navy was keeping a \u2018close eye on the Admiral Kuznetsov as it skulks back to Russia.’ He described the vessel a \u2018ship of shame whose mission has only extended the suffering of the Syrian people.’<\/p>\n

Actually, the carrier helped liberate eastern Aleppo from jihadists<\/a><\/strong>. Russian planes supporting the Syrian army allowed Christians there to celebrate Christmas for the first time in five years<\/a><\/strong>. Peace talks have been taking place between the Syrian government and the armed opposition. That has only happened because of Russian involvement.<\/p>\n

The UK is nowhere in Syria any more, thank God. \u00a0Mr Fallon could not exude any ‘position of strength’. He came across as weak, petulant, rude and divorced from reality. Can he long survive in Mrs May’s relationship-building world?<\/p>\n

Or were hers just words? For how much longer will the generals and arms manufacturers continue NATO’s sabre-rattling on Russia’s borders<\/a><\/strong>? In her speech, Mrs May actually boasted that 800 British soldiers were taking part in that latest exercise.<\/p>\n

Upholding our values?<\/h2>\n

Moving on, what did Theresa May mean when she said the US and UK must \u2018project our values around the world’?
\n\u2018Responsibility to Protect’, invented by George Soros, was used in the past by the UK and US to destabilise leaders the globalist elite do not like. Its outcome in Egypt was to sweep Islamist parties into power. Libya has become a lawless staging post for people smuggling into Europe. Syria has been ruined. And in every case, thriving Christian families have been all but driven<\/a><\/strong> from their ancient ancestral bases.<\/p>\n

\"Tam<\/a>
Tam Dalyell, who died yesterday, opposed the war in Iraq<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2003 Theresa May voted for Tony Blair’s stampede into war in Iraq. The result of that is 268,000 violent deaths to date, according to Iraq body count<\/a>. \u00a0<\/strong>It led to\u00a0a complete breakdown of Saddam’s institutions of civil society, and Islamic State terrorism.<\/p>\n

Thank God President Trump has put \u2018America first’. The days of \u2018fantasist Americans who want to control the world,’ appear to be over. Those words were spoken by the late ex-MP and \u2018Father of the House’ Tam Dalyell, who died yesterday. His obituary is worth reading<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Christian Voice is\u00a0calling on the UK Government to help rebuild Syria after the chaos they caused supporting the armed opposition. \u00a0\u00a0Please sign our petition to that effect<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mrs May said: \u2018The days of Britain and America intervening in sovereign countries in an attempt to remake the world in our own image are over’. Let us pray \u2018Responsibility to Protect’ is dead.<\/p>\n

How Theresa May changed on gay rights<\/h2>\n

Or did Theresa May mean exporting the \u2018British values’ of feminism, abortion and sodomy<\/a><\/strong>? \u00a0Here it gets interesting. Theresa May used to be adamantly opposed to gay rights.<\/p>\n

\"Orwellian:<\/a>
Orwellian: Dame Louise Casey was appointed by Theresa May<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She voted against homosexual men having access to 16-year-old boys in 1999. In 2002 she voted against gays and lesbians adopting. In 2008 she voted for an IVF baby to have a father and a mother. The next year she voted in the Equality Bill debates for churches to be free to hire and fire who they wanted.<\/p>\n

But in 2010 Mrs May was appointed Home Secretary and Minister for Women and Equality by Prime Minister David Cameron. From that date it all changed. In 2013 she turned out to vote for gay marriage in the Marriage Same-Sex Couples Bill. She voted for Cameron’s flagship bill at both second and third reading.<\/p>\n

Even today, her Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is a well-known gay rights advocate<\/a><\/strong>. She appointed the \u2018out’ lesbian Justine Greening to be in charge of Education. Mrs May gave Louise Casey an equalities\u00a0watch and bestowed on her a Damehood. This month \u2018Dame Louise’ invoked an Orwellian vision of using thought police against Christians in public life<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Can Trump – May project righteousness?<\/h2>\n
\"Donald<\/a>
Donald Trump; can the US \u2018project’ righteousness?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Donald Trump has already defunded Planned Parenthood and other \u2018reproductive rights’ advocates. The LGBT page has disappeared from the White House website. \u00a0Read about the feminist reaction to that here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

But Theresa May will need to drain her own gay-friendly establishment swamp before she can be a true partner to President Trump. Can she change?<\/p>\n

Cameron & Obama exported evil around the world. This video shows how they attempted to brow-beat African nations into legalising sodomy<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Let us pray that May & Trump will have an opposite agenda and promote or \u2018project’ righteousness. But as Mrs May did not mention God, let alone \u2018the Lord’, or Jesus, once in her speech, this will need particularly fervent prayer.<\/p>\n

European Union Integration<\/h2>\n

On the European Union, there were signs that Mrs May still does not understand that a wind of change, perhaps even a Holy-Spirit-driven wind of change, is blowing across the world.<\/p>\n

She said \u2018the most important institution is \u2013 and should always be \u2013 the nation state’. That’s a God-given. But then she said:<\/p>\n

\"Europa<\/a>
Europa on the Bull outside the Council of Ministers building in Brussels; the peoples of Europe are being taken for a ride.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018Which is why if the countries of the European Union wish to integrate further, my view is that they should be free to do so. Because that is what they choose.’<\/p>\n

What? The EU was from its inception a bureaucrat-inspired super-national monstrosity. It was never \u2018putting power in the hands of the people’ as Mrs May said was the example to the world of America. The EU\u00a0was designed in secret by politicians as a revived Roman Empire<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is always elites who want to come together like that. And when they do, people will feel \u2018left behind by the forces of globalisation’ as Mrs May rightly said. The ordinary people of Europe will never choose further integration. \u00a0Even as it is the European Union is going to fall. that is what happens to ‘earth’s proud empires.’<\/p>\n

Mrs May must grasp that the UK does not need European countries to be in an EU for the UK to trade with them.<\/p>\n

Torture<\/h2>\n

President Trump has spoken approvingly of the use of the practice of ‘waterboarding’ to gain intelligence. \u00a0It was banned by President Obama. \u00a0On its own this shows the folly of putting trust in princes rather than God.<\/p>\n

\"Christ's<\/a>
Christ’s crucifixion brought mankind redemption. But it is not a good example for Christian states to follow.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is no example in the Bible of the apparatus of the state using torture or \u2018enhanced interrogation techniques’ to extract information from prisoners. In 1st Samuel chapter 30 a captive Egyptian is brought before David. The king interrogates him, first having fed him. The captive divulges the information with no threat being used, only a promise of safety. (The UK could learn from that in the matter of interpreters.)<\/p>\n

The most graphic Biblical example of torture is actually that employed by the Romans to execute our Lord. It\u00a0is not a good example to follow. The Roman Empire was pagan. It acknowledged neither the Almighty nor his authority as King of kings. It was ignorant of his creation ordinance that mankind is made in the image of God. \u00a0Other human beings, in Christian theology, are worthy of respect.<\/p>\n

Mrs May said \u2018As Churchill put it, we “speak the same language, kneel at the same altars and, to a very large extent, pursue the same ideals”.’ Do we indeed worship the same God? Sadly, Mrs May failed to mention the Most High in her speech, not even asking the Almighty to bless America. But if we do, he requires a higher standard of us than our Islamic enemies.<\/p>\n
