Poll: Trump Beats Hillary in General Election Match-Up:

good!
he’s likely to be the nominee so that’s good news
not gonna lie and say i love him.
but i’ll certainly vote for him in the generals, maybe primary :)
Of course Trump, but I believe it’ll be voting for Obama lite since his track record on what he supported is Bush/Obama-esque.
Believe me, I love what he says, but don’t like what he does and that’s what matters. This is beyond a new president making positive changes, but more about our society in a downward spiral. We need an awakening...
:)
I can vote for Cruz too:)
doesn’t look like you will be.
I liked Cruz but its not gonna happen.
20 pts? with a week left?
go Trump.
This is the worst possible time to start discussing the finer points of the second coming. If Cruz got into that he'd lose another ten points. There are few subjects more divisive. Do you want the Catholic vote? The Jewish vote? The mainline Christian vote? Then keep that end times stuff - which even evangelicals can't come to any consensus about! - out of the campaign.
Thanks in advance.
Well, that is me exactly!
However, just because you sin, doesn’t mean you celebrate it. And that’s probably the “evangelicals” this article is refering to.
Christians ARE called to judge - despite the simple-minded Scripture-twisting the world encourages. It is a question of categories:
1. God alone is Judge over SOULS.
2. God has instituted human authorities - parents, government officials, employers, etc. - who may rightfully judge ACTIONS.
3. And *everyone* is called upon to judge IDEAS/BELIEFS - to be like the Bereans - because of the spiritual impact those ideas have on souls (#1).
It is precisely because we love sinners that we must judge wrong ideas, because those ideas are leading sinners to hell.
So cut it out with the hypocritical, self-refuting (think about it) charge of “self-righteousness”. I’m not claiming any sort of righteousness besides that offered by Christ apart from my own sorry actions.
But if you can’t judge a man’s conduct and beliefs, then you might as well go brain-dead and vote for Hillary. Or another Hitler for that matter. Do you not see the parallels between the zombie army of unthinking support for Trump and that of Obama in 2008, or Hitler in the 1930’s? Does the complete absence of rational defense of Trump’s worldview not bother anyone?
Your testimony is good. Back it with Scripture to increase its effect.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13
I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people - not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.
But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”

We are called to judge fellow believers. By doing so, we hold each other accountable. We must be careful to remove our own planks first, of course.
If we get that kind of turn out, Trump will get 50% of the Iowa vote!
Could end up getting forced on him, is the point, due to this “dominionist” meme. Where the least painful way out is to tell the truth about what you DO believe. Which Cruz has already gotten into, so it’s not like it has all been hidden all this time.
The lack of Savior means perdition, and acceptance of Savior means salvation, period. We can’t be so arrogant as to say any doctrine gets anyone to hell or heaven apart from that. This isn’t world-wishes; this is straight up Bible.
With this latest endorsement of Trump by Jerry Falwell Jr., wow! The Donald has one hell of a lot of momentum in Iowa. Sure beats getting endorsed by Glenn Beck.
I agree. It would be a good start and make up for his ill advised admission that he has never asked God for forgiveness.
I’m on the wrong side when voting sometimes but not necessarily in predicting.
Would be the same “evangelicals” that watch Joel Osteen?
Backsliding Christians for Trump

>>It would be a good start and make up for his ill advised admission that he has never asked God for forgiveness.
The actual words he used are a Presbyterian/Reformed theology thing. It doesn’t mean what you think it means. We repent, but understand that our past, present, and future sins are forgiven and forgotten by God. You don’t ask for something that has already been given to you.
Bear that in mind as you continue to preach to us here on FR.
