First of all, if you have to say it, it isn't true. God doesn't call anyone who lies about another to gain votes or promoting pro abortion candidate Romney, when there were other pro life candidates. Satan is the master of lies. On the note, have we seen his taxes yet?
Santorum has nothing to offer as a candidate other than his behavioral goodness.
And I haven't seen his behavioral goodness but I've seen his behavior in 'doing it for the team/GOP E' while voting against a conservative. And an underhanded deal with Kennedy so a church could gain property from veterans at way below market value. And his negative ad$ - that lies about Newt - are not goodness.
RE: First of all, if you have to say it, it isn't true.
Exactly, that determination is usually made in the hearts and minds and spirits of the people who observe or interact with you - they sense in their spirit they are in the presence of one sent by God. Like in the bible, God clothed Gideon with His spirit - the only people who were aware of that were those with spiritual eyes...
I would say God does call sinners, and uses the repentant reprobates and worse. But I don't believe He can use the proud or the pharisee, and there are ample examples of that. And if Rick is anything, he is a champion pharisee.
It is primary election season, we should not even have to be talking about issues like this - but we are because Rick has made them front and center in his campaign in an effort to capture the gullible...
EXACTLY! We would know if he was called.

Yep, we are sinners saved by grace but the 'self righteous' are pharisee - enemies of Jesus as they tried to trip Him up - the 'religious folk'.
