This is a fact: from Trump owning of strip clubs to his bragging about sleeping around to his Nietzsche-esque notions of power. Moore believes that a leaders moral behavior will affect his leadership, so he argues that no Christian should support a candidate like Trump. This will not convince all Christians, but at least itâs an argument grounded in the fact of Trumps moral behavior.

Yeah, and I heard that Trump seduced the wife of one his junior officers. And then sent the husband out to do a dangerous job in order to get him killed!
Oh, wait- that was King
We are also telling them that no one is perfect and that we are not to judge others.
Cooper followed up asking Trump if "asking for forgiveness" is a central tenet in his faith life.
"I try not make mistakes where I have to ask forgiveness," Trump answered.
When further asked about repentance again by Cooper, Trump said "I think repenting is terrific."

Like I said I will vote for Cruz, Carson, even Rubio. Trump to me is worse than a rino, I care about character. I believe someone who has no moral compass will lead us off a cliff.
How were these holy Christians voting when their representatives allowed prayer to be taken out of schools (1962)? Birth control to be distributed to the unmarried (1972)? Abortion legalized (1973)? Cohabitation legalized? No-fault divorce legalized? Single parent adoption legalized? Pregnant teens staying in school among peers legalized? Pregnant unmarried teachers keeping their jobs legalized? Deadbeat fathers winning the right to remarry and have more children approved by the SCOTUS? Jobs shipped overseas so fathers can’t support a family? Soft-core porn during family hour on television unopposed? Gay adoption legalized? Partial-birth abortion and born alive abandonment swept under the rug to vote for the Clintons and Obama? Schoolgirls taken for abortions by teachers without parental consent or notification? Comprehensive sex education, including homosexual techniques, from K to 12? Gay marriage legalized?
This destruction has been going on steadily since the late 1940s. Now they complain.
Well, I think you have made your duplicitous self quite clear on that count, already, wouldn’t you say?
You seem to take some raw pleasure in repeating your self, after having just posted trash from a trash source and French kissed it with your own little opus.
Let’s agree to not agree.
Same here, miss prig, I will cheerfully vote TRUMP, never Cruz.
“I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”
Trump said that while he hasn’t asked God for forgiveness, he does participate in Holy Communion.
Inventing his own religion? Doesn’t have to ask for forgiveness. Sounds like Obama saying he’s a Christian. Just watch. Someone on the campaign will tell him to say he repented so he can get the vote. What’s that called? Convenient conversion.
Trump is talking about his dealings with other people in that quote, unless you think that he has figured out a way to “try to make it right” with God. But nice try. You’ll eventually find that speck he’s got that you are looking for.
BTW, the part of that interview that you seem to have trouble finding is “When further asked about repentance again by Cooper, Trump said “I think repenting is terrific.”
Exactly. We compromised down.
No I didn’t sit it out. We Christians were on the front lines. Volunteering as a counselor at crisis pregnancy centers to help women choose to not kill their baby. Volunteering campaigns for prolife profamily candidates. Protesting in front of dr carharts abortion clinic, the one who did abortions up to 9 months- he finally left, moved to the east coast. Making thousands of calls for different causes. No it wasn’t enough. We made their job harder.
He thinks repenting is terrific but he said he didn’t need to repent. Is there a church that says you can like repenting but don’t need to?
Is it deliberate childishness to put Trump's last name in lower case letters ? It is a threat to the Gospel to refuse to vote for Trump against Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ?
How do you know what he does? He’s a Presbyterian. He would probably get his clock cleaned in a Know the Bible contest by the average Baptist 5th grader, but it’s really astounding to hear you spout about what you think his relationship to God is. To me, you sound like a Pharisee, but then that has about as much validity as your presumed knowledge of Trump.
I’m aware that many faithful Christians tried to help the victims of the pan-sexualist movement, such as abotion clinic activities. But politically, that’s like watering the leaves of a tree that is wilting but ignoring the roots. The roots were American law being changed from the SCOTUS on down, our representatives not doing anything about it, and the people continuing to vote for moral weaklings or CINOs like Poppy Bush, Clinton (twice), Dubya and Obama.
Christian activists should have been working in the precincts and polling places; but many felt that it would get their hands dirty. Many sat out the elections. Others continue to this day to attend and give tithes to churches that don’t believe or teach the Bible as truth, or are now actively campaigning for gay pastors, gay marriage and unlawful immigration. The corruption runs very deep. But it’s never too late to repent.
Your thread condemning Trump is still playing around in my mind. Now I remember why...
You do realize that there is a worse sin a flesh man can commit... I refer you to Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, (God speaking) when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I (God again speaking) had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
God is a divorcee, and spiritual adultery/idolatry is a far greater sin than a flesh person committing adultery. You do know that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever?
After 2000 plus years of persecution, some idiot thinks a US candidate of one country, threatens the Bible?
So a gospel of world dimensions is threstened by one guy with a nice set of ties? Anypne who says such a stupid thing must have pretty low esteem for the power of a gospel before one man, must be pretty weak gospel then.
I don’t think so.
Right now Christians are living a holocaust in large areas of the world, before not one guy, but a collective that has their own gospel of death.
And here is a guy, Trump, saying he is going to take the power of America and beat the **** out of these of the collective death who are exterminating Christians and anyone else who is not them ... and then say the guy who wants to beat the **** out of these devils, he is the threat to the gospel?
Why not just burn your own church down, it would make as much sense. Who belongs to a cult?
I never heard that he “owned” a Strip Club.
Being a Landlord doesn’t mean you own the Business that pays you Rent. If it were true, Trump would own The Bank of China and Bank of America.
I looked into this a little more, I was quite dubious of the claim of his ownership, this is what I gather from more than one article I read on the topic and subject.
Yes, there is a Scores in the Trump Taj Mahal. That is not at all in dispute.
From what I make of published accounts and interviews is that Scores Taj Mahal is not owned by Trump but is renting/leasing or perhaps revenue sharing with the property.
Does Trump have final say so if Scores can be on the property? I’m assuming yes since his name is on the building. The casino was scheduled to close December of 2014 but has not yet.
There’s nothing Trump could do but declare bankruptcy in Atlantic City. Pennsylvania legalizing gambling has pulled 40% of Atlantic City’s overall gaming revenue.
That’s beyond what any single operator can withstand. That’s what disgusts me most about the canard “Trump declared bankruptcy!” that candidates, pundits and posters love to bandy about without having an inkling of why.
Wow. Whoever wrote this tripe needs serious help. Attacking Trump because he’s against terrorism and illegal immigration? Praising the traitor and hypocrite Russell Moore? I take it that you support bringing muslims to the US. Shame on you.
I support Cruz but will vote for Trump if he’s the nominee. I will NOT vote for anyone who supports Amnesty and that means NO Rubio. Understand?
Let God worry about that.
