**I just do NOT understand how he can have so much knowledge politically, and so little knowledge, religiously.**

We see evidence of its destruction in this very thread.
As Christians it is well within our purview to question the salvation of NON Christians and challenge any doctrine that tried to claim the title of “christian” but is most obviously false.
That is why we were to to go ye into all the world. If the other faiths are to not be questioned, if we are not to question others salvation, why leave home, why spread the word that Jesus himself spread to the unsaved.
Jesus questioned the salvation of others, as his servants are we to do any less?
There was a time American Christians understood this, they understood exactly what John 14:6 meant. We knew that there was a time to witness and a time to defend the faith. We sang “Onward Christians Soldiers” because we meant it, not just out of habit.
Sorry I have been reading this thread and now am ranting a little...
Carry on.
