W. is a deeply Christian man. His genuine emotion is written all over his face. He practices what his faith inspires him to do. I can't understand why he is vilified by Christians.
America required a separation of one’s personal religious beliefs from one’s actions under the Constitution. Had the Presidency been properly balanced by the other branches with their check and doublecheck on the expansion of power, W. and all modern President's could not have gotten us into so much trouble. I just feel sad for the families who lost loved ones in our recent undeclared wars.
1. You have no idea if George W. Bush is a "deeply Christian man."
2. Maybe he is vilified by Christians because we're sitting here eight years after he left office, and we don't see much evidence of his Christianity when we look back at his tenure in the White House.
I am an ordained minister, and I tell you that turning the other cheek does not mean what you have been told it does.
It has been perverted by the media to neuter and silence Christians.
I do not regard Bush as a Christian brother. Assuming what I have read is true, I have never seen nor heard his confession and repentance for his “good ol’ boy” years of carousing with sex, dugs and alcohol. He simply outgrew it, as do most men who are not Bill Clinton (another Christian fraud), and who have political aspirations.
He is just another churchian in my opinion.
Faith in Christ requires far more than merely strong emotions. It requires knowledge and discernment.
As for judging (which you will accuse in me), we are actually commanded to judge. Like the above turning of the cheek, it has been perverted.
We do not judge as in condemn; that is God’s purview. We do judge as in discern. Everyone judges in that sense; it is unavoidable. (You have just judged as wrong those who criticize Bush!)
As someone who has practiced his faith at great cost, and has preached and taught the Bible, I do not - I repeat, do not - regard George Walker Bush as my legitimate Christian brother.
The truth is that these two are both political globalists. He embraced her because they are of a kind, not because of his dedication to Jesus Christ.
Jesus denounced hypocrites, and he would denounce Bush.
“W. is a deeply Christian man.”
No he isn’t. He has some kind of 12 step recovery religious bilge sloshing around in his skull; that is all.
Christians do not call the 1,400 year old crime spree called Islam, a “religion of peace”.
Bush is a globalist. A nut from the Bohemian Grove, like his father.
