ABOARD THE PAPAL AIRLINER -- Inserting himself into the Republican presidential race, Pope Francis on Wednesday suggested that Donald J. Trump "is not Christian" because of the harshness of his campaign promises to deport more immigrants and force Mexico to pay for a wall along the border.
"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian," Francis said when a reporter asked him about Mr. Trump on the papal airliner as he returned to Rome after his six-day visit to Mexico.

Where's the list?
Something MORE than what is in ACTS 15?
2 Corinthians 3:14
But their minds were made dull, for to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted,
(Rom 10:6) But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
(Rom 10:7) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
(Rom 10:8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
(Rom 10:9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
(Rom 10:10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Well...how absolutely typical, and not unexpected.

Those are my answers to you...every time.
If history serves, it will probably not be long before you ping your whole gang to your conversation and then consume the entire thread with your efforts...which was never about any of this in the first place.
If you do, then my the answer will be the same.
I can testify honestly that the one known on this forum as Elsie is not one who very often pings others ---who were not already part of a particular conversation, if even then.
Say what one will about the guy, but that one's not on the list, as far as I know and recall...
I know.
Reissued March 22, 2015Remember to stay on our mantra: We ARE Christians!!
We've been taking a beating on the Internet - especially from those hateful ANTIs on FreeRepublic!We MUST keep the media constantly informed of those things the world considers christian.
We must NOT allow our MORMONness to show thru, as it has gotten a really bad rap thru history - lord only knows why...Tommy
Nah; I now ping a bunch of FR Mormons; but they; unlike you; have chosen not to respond to me.
Uh; you ARE a Mormon; right?
Back in the good ol' days; before and when Mitt was in the running; we used to have great fun on FR with the Mormons that tried to respond back then.
I'd say it was fairly equal between the 'Jets' and the 'Sharks' as far as gang pinging going on.
I do; however; miss Restornu.
She was fun: a TBM of the highest order.
I can ‘pile on’ all by myself.

That's why some freeper had to come up with the term "Elsiethon" to describe it.
Wait a minute -- that was you! bwaahahaahha

Acts 15 is the key.
It tells you that Torah cannot be learned in a few sound bites, but must be learned by hearing Moses read every Sabbath day.
While you are learning Torah, you should remember to consume no blood, and avoid the pork offered to the Sungod idols.
You have Torah to read yourself in the first 5 books of your Bible. You can read Torah every day for yourself.
And remember, the temple has been removed, and the sacrifice terminated by Yehova, so all that is commanded WRT the temple worship is also removed until Yeshua rebuilds his temple.
What more do you need?

>> “Can angels dance?” <<
LOL!
As a former Baptist, I can tell you that most Baptists don’t think angels do anything anymore.

To learn how to “ believe in the one he has sent,” one must read John’s first epistle with belief that John, the beloved apostle, knew what he was talking about.
John said clearly that to believe in Yehsua, we must do what Yeshua did, and live our lives exactly as he lived his own.
Yeshua lived by all of the Father’s commandments, the eternal importance of which he declared in the 5th chapter of Matthew’s gospel.
The result of not doing so is described in the middle of Matthew’s 7th chapter.
Nothing about “believing in” Yeshua has been left to guesswork.
YMMV

That makes more sense.
Many of the public attacks on both Trump and on Catholicism appear to be artificially fomented.
I wish Trump would exercise adequate wherewithal not to encourage more adversarial reactions.
Both Trump and Francis are absolute disasters.
Trump for supporting Planned Parenthood.
People blame Trump for making a statement. No one died. Reagan signed an abortion law that enabled the killing of tens of thousands of babies. People give him a pass and blame Trump for a statement. Delusional.
Reagan Gets Bill Easing Abortion In California - Jun 14, 1967
June 14, 1967 The California Assembly passed and sent to Governor Reagan a bill easing the state/s abortion law, unchanged in 95 years.
Reagan said the bill was /by no means perfect/ and would have to be watched closely to prevent California from becoming an abortion haven.
But he said he would sign it despite his doubts about some possible /loopholes./ /I am fully sympathetic with attempts to liberalize the outdated abortion law now on the law books of California,/ the freshman governor said....
The bill...would permit abortions before the 20th week of pregnancy if:
-The prospective mother/s physical or mental health is in danger.
-The pregnancy resulted from incest or forcible rape, or statutory rape in the case of a girl 14 years old or younger.
The old law permits abortions only if the life of the prospective mother is endangered.

Reagan was never in favor of partial birth abortion (Trump 1999) and never made mention of Planned Parenthood doing wonderful things (Trump 2016)
No one who is pro-life can support Trump in good conscience.
Reagan just signed a liberalized abortion bill that enabled the deaths of thousands of babies from 1967 on in California. That’s the facts. Trump is responsible for no deaths.
Trump will continue to give money to Planned Parenthood as president.
Not voting for him... Ever.
To whom was Lobster offered?
Could you clearly post this?
I've not raised any dead people (yet) so I must not be on my way to heaven.
