Hillary Clinton turns to Scripture: 'Suffering produces endurance'
The Los Angeles Times' Trail Guide ^ | October 30, 2016 | Chris Megerian in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

For Hillary Clinton, political life has brought a series of trials and tribulations. The repeated embarrassments of her husband’s infidelities. A failed first presidential campaign. The ceaseless – and to her supporters, baseless – investigations into her tenure as the country’s top diplomat.

Clinton didn’t mention any of this during her speech to the black parishioners at a Baptist church here Sunday. But the theme of perseverance was threaded through the remarks she delivered two days after the FBI said it was examining additional emails related to her private email server.

“Suffering produces endurance,” she said, quoting Romans 5:3. “And endurance produces character. And character produces hope.”

As Clinton often does, she traced the lesson of endurance to her mother, who was abandoned by her parents and suffered a difficult childhood....

Satan plays with words in order to fool the ignorant and gullible.

Just like a certain political party.

Don’t go there, Mrs. Clinton. You are Scripture twisting and it is shameful. (not that you CARE about shame)

She wants the FBI to put it all on the table. This from the woman who delayed, lied, destroyed, misrepresented, covered up, threatened and, well, uh, forgot.

Cry me a river. The at least $110,000,000 she and Bill socked away over the last 10 years should be a source of solace.

oh please......

Hillary quoting Scripture???? Really????

Hillary’s “Bible” is the book “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinsky.

Hillary’s “God” if you will, is Saul Alinsky.

She once compared a book written by Alinsky as the fulfillment of revelation.

Hillary’s religion is liberalism.

Hillary’s deity is Saul Alinsky.

Hillary’s “scripture” consists of the writings of Saul Alinsky and other radicals.

In my reading of the Christian bible enduring undeserved persecution because you stand up for Jesus is an honor. Not so much enduring the consequences of you own bad actions...in that case the right thing is to admit you are wrong and repent.

May I suggest:

“There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers” (Proverbs 6:16-19).

When Hillary Clinton dares to use Scripture, she is only bringing more judgment upon herself.

She's promised a lot of things to the people who forked over that money.

Some of them might not be willing to just shrug it off as "one of those things."

Classic!

And they had the nerve to sell their Marriage as a love story at the Degenerate National Convention!

Quick, who has been rewarded more for their Lies than Hillary Clinton?

Talk about Fair Share of Taxes, has Hillary done her “Fair Share” of work in this life?

She’s is simply a parasite. A grifter with no shame. A “Congenital Liar.”

Soo000oo predictable...

Suffering produces endurance,” she said...”

Translation?

Victim!

As Clinton often does, she traced the lesson of endurance to her mother, who was abandoned by her parents and suffered a difficult childhood.

Translation?

Victim!

Everyone is knocked down in life,” Clinton said...”

Translation?

Victim!

.

And the irony?

She is the "victim" of her own misdeeds.

She is her own, and worst...

October Surprise!

.
