Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Some of my sisters-in-Christ seem to have appointed themselves keeper of the pearly gates.
Forgiveness and redemption are between God and an individual.
Our country and the American people are in dire straits.
Four more years of Obama...No way.

Are the ‘Jesus Only’ voters in Iowa confused or taking the year off? Maybe the dumping of Bachmann shows some of them have caught on about how the process works.
I’m hoping enough of them have taken off their “issue blinders” and are looking at more than just the issues they are zealous about.
Maybe you need to brush up on your facts, provide some verifiable links, and, if you are a Christian, study up on the doctrine of forgiveness and Christ’s power to create NEW creatures in Him, when they come to Him. Hate stinks.
here’s a little something to think about, while you’re looking for some reputable links to verify your unfounded statements:
“Jackie Gingrich Cushman wrote a column in May of this year called “Setting the Record Straight” where she dealt with the myth of Newt Gingrich serving his wife divorce papers while she was in the hospital with terminal cancer.
Here is the link:
http://townhall.com/columnists/jackiegingrichcushman/2011/05/08/setting_the_record_straight/page/full/
here are a few excerpts from her column:
-— “For years, I have thought about trying to correct the untrue accounts of this hospital visit… But I have always hesitated, as it was a private family matter and my mother is a very private person.”
-— “As for my parents’ divorce, I can remember when they told me.
It was the spring of 1980. My parents told my sister and me that they were getting a divorce as our family of four sat around the kitchen table of our ranch home.”
-— “Later that summer, Mom went to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for surgery to remove a tumor. While she was there, Dad took my sister and me to see her.
It is this visit that has turned into the infamous hospital visit about which many untruths have been told… here’s what happened:
My mother and father were already in the process of getting a divorce, which she requested.
Dad took my sister and me to the hospital to see our mother.
She had undergone surgery the day before to remove a tumor.
The tumor was benign.
-— As have many families, we have healed; we have moved on.
My mother and father are alive and well, and my sister and I are blessed to have a close relationship with them both.”
*****
This is just one of the many fabrications the media and Newt’s enemies have circulated over the years. I can’t imagine how many others there are. If you read the article, it was obviously difficult for Jackie to talk about this, but she did, because at some point you have take on the liars. If the Gingrich family has moved on from this event so many years ago, as Jackie states, maybe it’s time for everybody else to move on, also.

9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

wow, thats quite the “footnote” indeed. Well played. You obviously recognize the hypocrisy, the fake purity and the spirit of the Pharisee that was all over this thread today. Made me nauseus.
Okay, Is that article supposed to make me feel better about a man who CHEATED on his Wife.
The marriage vow is the most sacred vow a Man can take; To break it not once but twice disqualifies him in my book.
If his own wives can’t trust him; than neither can I. Period End of Story.
glass houses.
throwing stones.
etc.
etc.
Who the hell are you? I’ve never even come close to cheating on my wife.
Amen to that! I mean, my God people, I'm not a Newt supporter but I'll vote for a friggin cockroach to get the Kenyan Marxist out. 4 more years of him and I'm convinced we won't have a country.
Oh I forgive him, but I will never, ever vote for him.
Will not vote for him.
Follow your own path, but under your rules Mitt Romney and Barach Obama fit the bill. The marriage vow is a religious concept it holds no greater place than forgiveness. He has professed his past indiscretions and asked forgiveness. It is up to the individual to believe if he in sincere.
So it would be ok for God to say I forgive you but I don’t want anything to do with you?
His divorces do not bother me nearly as much as the economy does.
Ooh...ouch, I love it.
And whom is it you support for the pubby nomination?
