That right there explains a lot of Trump's support and why his supporters are so loyal. Nobody else comes even close to fitting the bill!
He & Billy Graham are awesome Pastors. I wish the RC’s would bring back the fire & brimstone! Wish we had the traditional habit wearing nuns of my youth. Just wishing.
Letter of James 4
11 Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
12 There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?

Thank you for that post.
Really, what if a self-proclaimed Christian endorses Lucifer for president, can I judge his Christianity then?
What he is saying is nonsense. We all have a line in the sand beyond which if a person crosses we judge them to be not a Christian. Where we’d draw that line is different for each of us, but we all have a line. Even he has a line.
What he is essentially saying is that “your line is wrong and my line right”.
This is no different than the moral relativism clap-trap we always hear from the left of “you can’t judge me” and they are always judging other. Which is such intellectually dishonest nonsense.
But the secular socialists think the Constitution gives them the right to impose their preferences on Christians.
Translated: I don’t want to hear any opinions other than my own.
No Biblical permission for a shepherd to do anything but guide their people into Truth. Not express or imply vote for candidate A.
Sounds great would love that too....but in reality what has Trump not changed positions on other than the wall?
I want someone who truly stands his Christian values and I will not vote pro-choice and Trump praised Planned Parenthood last week....how many innocents have they slaughtered over the years? What are Trump's solid values he will not compromise on because as of today I know only one.
Jeffress gets the difference between a worthy leader of civil government and a profession of faith in Christ. Jesus acknowledged the authorities of his day and explained that power had been granted them by “my Father”. They weren’t godly men, yet they fulfilled their divine office. Romans 13 explains this better than I can.
You will know them by their fruit.
So your position is the mere claim of being a “christian” is enough. It can’t be challenged... Truth is irrelevant... And the man who can’t be questioned says he’s never asked God for forgiveness - a basic tenet of Christianity...
And last but not least - Trump is asking for our consent to govern where we give him great power in our name over many peoples lives. It is our great responsibility to judge whether he is truthful, principled and capable of wielding that power with honor and justice within the limits of the constitution.
If he wasn’t seeking my approval to govern I’d care little how many wives he’s cheated on etc and would pay no attention to what he says or others say about him.
I’m gonna get me some Duggar fambly values, some Joel, Osteen poverty, Some Benny Hinn honesty, and so on.
I start with the premise that many religious “professionals” are getting something from their systems.
Yup.
I think religious leaders should stay out of the endorsement business altogether.
Preach Scripture and the sheep will know who we should vote for.
Jeffress has suggested that Catholicism is a tool of Satan, claiming "that's what Satan does with counterfeit religion. He uses, he steals, he appropriates all of the symbols of true biblical Christianity, and he changes it just enough in order to cause people to miss eternal life.”
“Much of what you see in the Catholic Church today doesn’t come from God’s word. It comes from that cult-like pagan religion. Isn’t that the genius of Satan?”
Jeffress: Catholicism Is A “Cult-Like, Pagan Religion.”
only an apostate would say such a thing
OK, my test is to go talk with the woman who has done my nails for over 20 years. This morning I had a manipedi so we can call this the Manipedi test. Laurie has voted for the person who won the presidency 100% of the time since Reagan. Think about that. So last time I talked with her she was saying that she wanted to vote for the first woman president but today she shared that she is secretly routing for Trump but hasn’t made up her mind yet. She is certain that it will be Hillary v. Trump. She likes Trump because he says things that everyone else including her are thinking but afraid to say. So since she has voted for the winner for all the time I’ve known her I think that this is very interesting. A lot of people vote with their heart and not their head. And speaking of head, she thinks he needs a new hair stylist. We agreed that Hillary looks awful and should not wear yellow or green. LOL
Finally. A Christian leader with some common sense.
