I bet if they contract the making of ID’s at Jake’s church he’d change his mine.

I live in Michigan and if I don’t produce my driver’s license or photo ID, I don’t get past the first table inside.

Michigan is listed as “ID requested.” Not sure, but it sounds like they can’t refuse you.

Second time I know.
After Obama had shown his colors.

You should still be able to find articles on the internet.
I had to look it up to be sure.

“wrote Ginsburg ‘may prevent more than 600,000 registered Texas voters (about 4.5 percent of all registered voters) from voting in person for lack of compliant identification. A sharply disproportionate percentage of those voters are African-American or Hispanic,’ she noted, adding that ‘racial discrimination in elections in Texas is no mere historical artifact.’”

The Ruth Buzzi wannabe is deeply troubled.

He can’t endorse, but Jakes was an Obama apologist and critical of Obama opponents, both runs.

So, they should get an ID, get registered, and get counted as having voted! I voted early in Virginia because of business outside the state next Tuesday. Very simple. The small “I voted” sticker is on a side window of my car.

I wonder Bishop Jakes...You host various mega-conferences...In order for a person to get backstage at one of these events, do you require credentials at all? Or can just anyone meander back there to hobnob with the muckety-muck preacher types? Meh- you’re right. Such a requirement - like a press pass or event badge - would be needless.

What better way to end discrimination than to have every one show identification.

A BISHOP who is pro-abortion? But then, he isn't a Catholic bishop and many Christian (non-Catholic) denominations are pro-abortion. NO CHRISTIAN should be pro-abortion.

======================================

From Wikipedia:

Thomas Dexter "T. D." Jakes, Sr. (born June 9, 1957) is the Apostle/Bishop of The Potter's House, a non-denominational American megachurch, with 30,000 members. T. D. Jakes' church services and evangelistic sermons are broadcast on The Potter's Touch, which airs on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, Black Entertainment Television, the Daystar Television Network, The Word Network and The Miracle Channel in Canada.

Other aspects of Jakes' ministry include an annual revival called "MegaFest" that draws more than 100,000 people, an annual women's conference called "Woman Thou Art Loosed", and gospel music recordings.

======================================

Does the Bishop ask for their "filthy lucre" a la Dr. EEeeeeugene Scott?

I always vote absentee and get the voter information and ballot in the mail box WEEKS before the election. Then, I’ve MAILED in my ballot, VOTED and don’t have to listen to EITHER side.

Modalism was condemned by Tertullian (c. 213, Tertullian Against Praxeas 1, in Ante Nicene Fathers, vol. 3).
Also known as Sabellianism, it was condemned as heresy by Dionysius, bishop of Rome (c. 262).

Modalism is probably the most common theological error concerning the nature of God (i.e., who God is). "Present day groups that hold to forms of this error are the United Pentecostal and United Apostolic Churches.
They deny the Trinity, teach that the name of God is Jesus... modalist churches often accuse Trinitarians of teaching three gods.
This is not what the Trinity is. The correct teaching of the Trinity is one God in three eternal coexistent persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

==========================================

I had to look "MODALIST" up.
No God, the Father??? Jesus spoke of HIS FATHER. Doesn't Bishop Jake believe Jesus?
And no Holy Spirit? I guess Mary was incarnate by...? whom?

All VERY strange.
