Amen to an excellent article. (Side note: The author had trouble finding something out of line in John the Baptist’s life...living in the wilderness has its benefits.)

The problem with a lot of Evangelicals is that they do not have a biblical worldview.

They have a sentimental worldview, which is entirely different.

Although---to the best of my knowledge---Trump has not made overtures to evangelicals, they will vote for him in droves. Why?

An evangelical pastor on BOR reported that his congregation rose en masse when he quoted Donald's promise to bomb the crap out of ISIS. Later some 200,000 evangelicals downloaded his sermon....not to mention the thousands who read the words online.

Too many "evangelicals" have this quaint notion about turning the other cheek and loving the sinner-no matter how heinous they may be.

The problem with turning the cheek and all is it'll likely get you dead and the dead pool is not where I prefer to be in any struggle for peace and liberty. Turning the other cheek and loving your "enemy" is akin to suicide. Now, didn't the Lord have an issue with suicide and tossing away the gift of life He gave us?

God raised up Pharoh, Herod and Obama without our help. He could raise up Trump without help as well.

If we just “turn the other cheek” to Islamic radicals, it’ll be on the opposite side of the head that they just cut off.

The “meek” might be blessed, but to the radicals, it just a surrender. All we will “inherent” will be sharia law.

This in no time in our history to elect a preacher, we need a leader who will protect your right to worship, not promote a cult disguised as a religion.

No, what I'm looking for is some quasi-decent SOB who loves our Constitution and our original intent.

At one time, this was the bedrock principle around here. I must have missed where Trump has addressed this. Perhaps he has, but it's not in his Top Ten.

He DID get my attention with his negative comment on Scalia regarding affirmative action.

“God raised up Pharoh, Herod and Obama without our help. He could raise up Trump without help as well.”

God raises up leaders the nation deserves . We got Obama because people who call themselves Christ followers don’t follow him , they like social justice more.

Exodus 21 

Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

This is a simple Biblical test for choosing leaders. Trump does not pass this test.

Precisely. There are imposters everywhere probably in roughly the same proportion as Congress.

All of these polls showing Hillary beating Trump are cr*p. Do not believe them, they are ALL rigged.
