Free Republic

David has always been portrayed a naked. Was it the armor of God? Why.? Been kinda into the Tulmed and the Tora. Just asking. Delving into it. My wife is cousins with a certain group of people from Louisiana. And the old guy talks about being unashamed. Want my Jewish friends to relay. I love you.

Amid recent fissures in Donald Trump’s evangelical support base over the issue of abortion, the former president took to Truth Social this week with a post that could be seen as an olive branch. Trump raised the ire of pro-life advocates last week when he declared that if elected in November, his “administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.” The post came a little more than a month after a significant revision of the Republican Party Platform. While Republicans in 2016 called for a federal ban on abortion after 20 weeks, the platform adopted in July stated...

Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this guest post are solely those of the guest author. This election season, pastors must unapologetically speak truth to their congregations in pulpits nationwide, including this message that many shy away from: Abortion is murder and must be unabashedly opposed by followers of Christ. The pro-life landscape in America would look radically different if the Church advocated for preborn lives. In Florida, if the deadly abortion Amendment 4 is to fail, Christians cannot remain quiet or complacent as they have in years past. Sadly, it is estimated that 25 million Christians who are registered to...

Church and state cross swords in Italy over immigration, autonomyROME – An unusually direct and public clash between church and state is unfolding in Italy, where both Pope Francis and the country’s bishops are perceived to be challenging the center-right government over both migration and proposals for greater regional autonomy.In a clear sign of those tensions, the leader of Italy’s far-right anti-immigrant Lega party took to Facebook late Wednesday evening to ask his followers, “What do you think of the bishops’ attacks?” – provoking a predictable cascade of critical replies.Typical was the reaction of a follower who wrote, “They would...

Pope Francis says deliberately opposing migration ‘is a grave sin’Pope Francis condemned efforts to regulate immigration, stating that those who “systemically” work to “repel migrants” are committing a “grave sin.”Leaving aside his series of catechetical addresses, Pope Francis today used his Wednesday audience to address the topic of immigration. “I would like to pause with you to think about the people who – even at this moment – are crossing seas and deserts to reach a land where they can live in peace and safety,” he opened.‘A grave sin’Using the themes of “seas and deserts,” Francis stated that both seas...

Many people stated after the attempted assassination of Trump that He must be protected by God and therefore must be "God's Man" for America due to His intervention in Pennsylvania. Well, there is a Bible reference that could apply if you think there could be evidence that God has His hand on Trump.Let's look at God anointing His pick of men to serve Him in the Tabernacle of God. Leviticus 8:22-24 speaks of placing goat blood on the right ear, the right thumb, and the right big toe, of the person being consecrated. We all know Trump had goat's blood...

For those who do not understand the blind loyalty of people who follow the Climate Change crusade, you must understand that to them it is nothing short of a religious belief. That’s right; Climate Change is a religion whose god is Mother Earth. For leftist politicians, it’s just another means to control the masses, but the religious aspect of Climate Change is ultimately how they are able to convince so many people that it truly does exist and man is responsible for creating it.To really explain what it is I mean, I need to first define the term religion. Then...

The Democratic Party opened its 2024 national convention in Chicago’s United Center on Monday, adopting its platform, setting its agenda, and hearing the first day of speeches from Hillary Clinton, abortion activists, and President Joe Biden. The first day of the DNC featured a prayer without Christ, politicians citing Bible verses moments after promoting abortion-on-demand, and insisting pro-life protections violate “basic decency.” Here are a few of the most memorable events of day one: 1. A “Christian” invocation without Jesus or a cross? The Democratic National Convention began its first day in prayer — but not one that mentioned the...

[Catholic Caucus] Archbishop Viganò: Cupich’s DNC speech confirms ‘blood pact’ between ‘deep state’ and ‘deep church’Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò called out Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago for his endorsement of Kamala Harris and the Democrat platform, describing the prelate as having supported 'the cult of perversion, disease, sterility, poverty, death.'Editor’s note: The following note has been taken from a post by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò to X (formerly Twitter), originally published on August 20, 2024. The scandalous endorsements of Blase Cupich and the heretical ultra-progressive Jesuits in favor of Harris and Walz and the radical Left woke agenda confirm the...

From: dvan7 11:13 AM To: All (1 of 1) 5365.1 Evangelicals for Kamala? My goal here is not to discuss all of the political issues, but to show how critical this election is and what part evangelicals must play in it. Written by Larry Ball | Friday, August 16, 2024 The evangelical world still holds a powerful weapon in its hands. Because of the electoral college, what really matters in elections is what happens in each states. In 2020 Biden beat Trump in Arizona by 10,935 votes. In Georgia, Biden won by 14,152 votes. In Wisconsin, Biden won by 20,546...

I give England until the end of 2025 at the latest before it is no longer recognizable. Don't laugh; I give the U.S. until the end of 2027 at best, but that is a whole other column. The Church of England has apparently joined the pronoun movement. Of course, none of this should come as a surprise to anyone, but it is still a shame. According to a report in the Telegraph, the Church has decided to stop using the word "church" in order to be more modern. I don't know what word they will use. Lodge? Club? Association? The...

Evangelicalism’s “White Guilt” apostle, Latasha Morrison—what can be said that isn’t already obvious to anyone paying attention? She’s the founder of “Be the Bridge,” a so-called Christian organization that is primarily concerned with cultivating white guilt within the ranks of Evangelicalism. Seriously, though. Life must be miserable living in perpetual victimhood the way these people do. It’s like wandering through a never-ending night where the shadows of resentment choke out every glimmer of light, leaving only the cold, suffocating darkness of self-imposed despair. Latasha Morrison’s doctrines are as predictable as they are pernicious—if you’re white, you’re guilty, and no amount...

According to the Pew Research Center, more than 80% of Protestant evangelicals (those who emphasize the importance of a personal conversion to Christ) are supportive of President Donald Trump over a Democratic candidate. This is the largest demographic split between Republicans and Democrats of any sample group, whether blacks (only 71% favor Harris), Hispanics (the two are statistically tied), homosexuals (70% favor Harris), female voters (55% favor Harris), male voters (56% favor Trump) or even gun owners (61% favor Trump). But a whopping 81% of evangelicals agree that not only does the Democratic Party contradict their faith, it contradicts their...

Billy Graham endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris during an "Evangelicals for Harris" Zoom call Wednesday and suggested that Christians who support former President Donald Trump are causing people to turn away from Christianity.Here's the full video of Jerusha Duford (Billy Graham's granddaughter) from the "Evangelicals For Harris" Zoom call.@JonBrownDC covered the message well (link in replies) but I figure many of you want to watch it for yourselves too pic.twitter.com/kPMX3qvjCE— Woke Preacher Clips (@WokePreacherTV) August 16, 2024Jerushah Duford, whose mother Virginia "Gigi" Graham Tchividjian is Graham's oldest daughter, spoke in a recorded video because...
