You pal are the true Pharisee because YOU refuse to evaluate these candidates with ANY common sense in the least.
So who cares about what Ted Cruz’s parents did? Let’s examine Trump the man. Trump has dumped TWO wives for mistresses, been a serial adulterer, owned a strip club and been a long-time supporter of killing unborn children. THESE ARE NOT PHARISEE JUDGMENTS; THESE ARE FACTS — and if you can’t tell the difference, too bad.
Anyone who is a Christian should be able to discern that there is a problem with a man who claims he is a strong Christian and reads the Bible more than anyone on Earth — but really doesn’t need God’s forgiveness and is a serial adulterer. We are all sinners, but if Trump doesn’t need God’s forgiveness, he probably needs it more than anyone.
Incidentally, she ended up becoming Solomon's mother.
Peter denied Christ three times.
Saul of Tarsus used to have authority from the chief priests to deliver Christians for imprisonment or execution.
Somehow, God worked through all of them.
You have your facts all wrong. I don’t care really who goes to bed with whom - I want my country back, and Trump is the only one who will have to answer to God for his past - not you- not me, and we are not to judge - but, I guess you didn’t get the memo, did you? We are all sinners - each and every one of us. so, get off your holier-than-thou horse.
And yet Donald Trump is doing very well with evangelicals, winning a plurality in most of his victories.
All have sinned. Donald Trump has doubtless done so more than some and less than others.
At some point, rather than keeping a score sheet of every person's sins, Christians judge a person by the totality of who they are. They are willing to forgive as God forgives.
And many of them, including myself, have come to the conclusion that Donald Trump is not some kind of satanic monster sent from Hell to destroy America.
Quite the contrary. As opposed to hysterical caricatures, many people realize that Donald Trump is a decent red-blooded American who loves his country, has reasonable, pro-American policy positions, sharp executive skills and who, as President, will work tirelessly, alongside We the People, to make America great again.
It's that simple.
And all the savage, hateful, disingenuous and misguided demonization of Donald Trump, driven by the Establishment and their dupes, will not destroy him nor discourage his supporters.
Donald Trump is in this fight until the end, and he is in it to win it, and the Voice of angry Americans (from all walks of life) who support him will be heard...
People who are convinced they're either among the elect or not and can't do a thing about it are also sure there's no need to ask forgiveness since doing so makes no difference. Perhaps before claiming "Anyone who is Christian should . . ." anything you should study what all passes as Christian in this country and realize that a great many people who aren't Presbyterian are Calvinists just like Trump. Even a great many Dominionists just like Ted's Dad who has no problem at all palling around with Mormons any more than his son has a problem hanging with Mormons Beck and Romney.
Funny how when Romney was at the head of the ticket the, "Anyone who is Christian . . ." crowd said people should stay home rather than vote for him but have no problem with Cruz being big pals with Beck and taking all the help he can get from Romney.
How typically Pharisee, telling the masses what's good for them while doing something else themselves.
