Mayor Pete (and God says “Who?”) will one day either receive justice or mercy.

He will receive justice if he doesn’t acknowledge that the only way to enter into the presence of God is through acceptance of Jesus’ paying the ultimate price for his sins and shortcomings.

He will receive mercy if he does.

I continually thank God for opening my eyes to the gift of redemption that comes through acceptance of Jesus’ sacrifice on my behalf and on behalf of the entire world. The gift is there for the taking, but take it one must. We all either suffer or enjoy the consequences of that.

I heard it said once that God is like Burger King in that he lets us “have it our way.” If we spend our lives having everything our way (instead of putting the things of God first), God will let us spend eternity separated from His presence in the afterlife.

Mayor Pete is so far off base regarding salvation. His salvation is all about what he does, instead of what Christ did for him. He’d be wise to remember Ephesians 2:8-9...

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Mayor Pete is leading, or attempting to lead, many astray with his skewed version of Christianity. As my dad always said, “A half truth is a full lie”. That’s especially true when it comes to your salvation.

He had a BAD night.

BAD enough to possibly cost him the VP slot.

You could hear @Lis_Smith kicking in her tv...

Will someone please tell me why the Media including Fox won’t talk about the “Elephant in the Room” when it comes to this guy’s candidacy? Namely, that he is a Homosexual Married to another Man. Does the Media really believe that America is ready to elect a guy President and send him to the White House where he can stick his penis in the Rectum of another guy? Or that the other guy is doing that to him? Give me a Break.

If ones salvation depends on their usefulness...then we are all dead. Sorry Peter...keep on making excuses to absolve your sins....ugly to watch his confusion unfold...but not unexpected.

Buttplug and the Gay Mafia are trying to paint him as a normal person to boost his appeal in the Midwest.
Just like Obama...this is all a lie to somehow pull the wool over the eyes of voters.

Pete is a socialist swine.

Socialists believe you are only “good” if you are useful.

Impefect baby? Abort it.

Handicapped? Euthanize it.

Elderly? Terminate it.

The only “useful” people to Pete and his socialist friends are those who can provide revenue to the state.

I did notice that Peter did not talk about sin.
Is homosexual sex a sin, Peter?

Useful to the ruling class (of which he is one).

Marx said "opium of the people" and therefore opposed religion (primarily Christianity).

The Democrat of today thinks "opium of the people", and cynically goes for it.

After all, that religion sh*t works for the Republicans, am I right?

Well said. That is the essence of the Gospel. It brings with it the New Birth, without which no one will see the Kingdom of God.

There is "another gospel", which is not good. It brings damnation, in fact. That would include the gospel according to st. buttyjig.

Galatians 1: 6(KJV) I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

2 Corinthians 11: 3 (NLT) But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.
4 You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.

Buttigieg expressed that partial truth very non-poetically.

A passage from the speech John Kennedy didn’t give because he was assassinated: “God’s work must truly be our own”.

From another thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3795240/posts?page=5#5 on the subject... (H/T to http://www.freerepublic.com/~hangnjudge/)

“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to whom God says, in the end, “Thy will be done.” All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.”
(C.S. Lewis)

Yes, a useful idiot.

Buttigeig* is not so much an idiot as downright evil - like every other Democrat hopeful for president.

*Pronounced Butt-edge-edge Butt-plug-plug
