Is it time for divorce? A former TV religious reporter reconsides her life as an evangelucal

I’m considering filing for divorce. On the grounds of infidelity and betrayal — and I’m heartsick. Don’t get me wrong, I adore my husband. It’s my union with an intimate partner of more than three decades, the evangelical church, that’s in trouble.

[Mark17]

I read it just now. It’s pretty much leftist talking points wrapped in Christian words. While she would likely deny it, the woman is no longer seeking the truth...she’s following her children into being absorbed into the Leftist Borg.

It was hard to read the whole screed, but I question whether or not, she was EVER seeking the truth, in the first place. I thought that it was a load of bull.

[DarthVader]

A person who has made a shipwreck of their faith if they ever had it to begin with.

[Nifster]

I read it....what hubris

This is the explicit example of the wussy RINO who wants pretty things and no arguments. She loves running with the DC swamp and all its attendant evil and justifies it. Then when average Americans vote for jobs and strength she goes all wobbly.

Moron let her children become SJW and it sounds like she’s going to become one too. This is the danger of liberation theology

I love that Flannery O’Connor quote. She reitered the same idea several times. See tagline.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Teaching special-ed third graders in South Chicago may well be a sign of dedication to Christ's mission to serve "the least of His brethren."

All missionaries have done the same.

I've gotta admit it sounds Jesus-y to me.

[miniTAX]

Lol, my first thought reading the title is: it’s Trump’s fault. I guessed right.

[Mrs. Don-o]

"But the choice was not for Trump the righteous among evangelicals. The choice was for Trump the flawed v. Hillary the socialist."

That was certainly my view as a Catholic Trump voter.

I didn't vote for his canonization. I voted for him because he was our last chance to stop the Clinton Crime Family.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Thank you for this story. The whole world needs to know that those dead “fetuses” are murdered human beings. Those who honor the truth, God will honor.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Reiterated.

Typo.

[Mrs. Don-o]

So, do you think mothers have the right to command adult daughters to quit jobs that involve risk?

I'm thinking, as well, of daughters working in ER's and in the U.S. Military.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I have read the NT many times, and I have never seen indications that Simon Peter could be accused of being a mean-spirited bully.

So I don't get your comparison.

[Guenevere]

To read later

[Truthsearcher]

Trump wasn’t running in a vacuum. He wasn’t running against Hillary. All the “how can you be a Evangelical Christian and support a guy who did......” can be answered with “how can you be a Evangelical Christian and not vote against a woman who....”

[wbarmy]

I have read the NT many times, and I have never seen indications that Simon Peter could be accused of being a mean-spirited bully.

Disclaimer: I am not trying to start a theological argument, just a discussion on your statement.

John 21:20-22 could be an argument for Peter being mean-spirited. Because of John's faithfulness, Peter was feeling very conscious of his lack of faith and decided to lash out at John. Jesus rightly rebuked him for this. Remember, Jesus gave John the responsibility of taking care of His mother, and Peter was not there to be so blessed.

[ReaganGeneration2]

This woman’s misunderstanding of Christianity is complete. She wants the Church of Secular Politics.

My duty as a grandparent doesn’t include indulging stupidity.

Lousy analogy, but thanks for playing.

[Skywise]

So she claims to searches for God’s Truth but complains that the evangelicals are homophobic, misogynistic and not true-believers because she hates Trump.

She likes the Episcopal and Methodist churches because they let her daughters be priests and her daughters claim they’re doing what Jesus would do by teaching the poor in Chicago and being a public-defender (while she herself claims that Jesus would be the prosecutor - really? 30 years of evangelicalism and she thinks Jesus would be the prosecutor?!)

She side loads all the social justice points - Jesus would love the Dreamers (oh you mean the illegal immigrants that were used by the social justice loving peoples to pay citizens more? How do you think Chicago got to be so “poor”?!)

She claims Millenials are more enlightened than she is because they seemingly do what Jesus would do. Really? This is the same generation that eats tide pods, thinks sex is all about snap chatting and are such simpletons that they think if they’re just self-righteous and take part in protests and like the right things on Facebook that they’re the beautiful people and hate, despise and destroy anyone who gets in their way. That doesn’t sound very Christ-like to me.

Shall we move on? What about her judgemental behavior of Trump? Is it no Christ-like to forgive? She whines and moans that Trump is a philanderer - yet the very SAME social justice crowd she thinks is so enlightened defended Bill Clinton AND CONTINUE to defend Bill Clinton with his actions towards Monica Lewinsky... a man in power assaulted his employee - Trump paid a prostitute for sex long before he was in office.

Does she not think the enlightened lesbians she claims to love and defend don’t say things like grabbing their lovers by the pussy?

She doesn’t want the truth - she wants to believe in a happy socialist utopia that’s better than God’s utopia because God was written down by the evil patriarchy and the millenials will write a better God (and I bet she’s pro-choice now too)

[Mark17]

I'm thinking, as well, of daughters working in ER's and in the U.S. Military.

I think also of the sons in the US Military, since I was USAF for 20 years, and my son is a USAF officer.

[Prov1322]

Now, in my weekly Bible study, where we pray over our joys and concerns, I'm hesitant to bring up my angst over my crumbling marriage to the family of faith I once called home.

This woman does not have a born-again relationship with Jesus. She is looking for a denomination to provide that.
