Trump on God: 'I don't like to have to ask for forgiveness'
Business Insider ^ | January 17,2016 | Maxwell Tani

Posted on 01/23/2016 9:05:50 PM PST by gusopol3

After months of reflection, Donald Trump says he still doesn't regret his decision not to ask God for forgiveness for his sins.

In an interview on Sunday with CNN, the Republican presidential frontrunner said that he does not regret never asking God for forgiveness, partially because he says he doesn't have much to apologize for.

"I have great relationship with God. I have great relationship with the Evangelicals," Trump said in the interview before pivoting to his poll numbers among Evangelical voters.

"I like to be good. I don't like to have to ask for forgiveness. And I am good. I don't do a lot of things that are bad. I try to do nothing that is bad."

Its not what you say, but what you do that counts.

YHVH is not Don Trump’s Father.

Trump left him in the dust when he called him a liar (”I don’t sin”)

People that think they don’t sin are of their father, the inventor of sin.

That is what the word says.

He loves all of us, but he plainly said that “few there be that find it” (his narrow path).

Looking for that path is what is in order. Those that are not looking will not find it.

We would be electing a man that totally rejects God.

What does that make him in your mind?

Going to church does absolutely nothing for anyone.

Here is what Yeshua said to the people that think “going to church” can save them:

Matthew 7:

[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
[24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
[25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
[26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
[27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
[28] And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
[29] For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

In the real news, nobody has voted yet.

Manufactured polls mean nothing.

Of course Trump would lead in the MSM’s polls, he is their creation, he is their guy.

Don't lie!

If it weren't for lies, he would have nothing to post. 'Truth' is not part of his make-up.

What is a ‘Dominionist Pastor’?

Rather than send you away on a link, Dominionism which has been preached by Ted's father, follows the theology that there will be those that are 'anointed' to take over the seven pillars (or mountains) of society. These are business, government, media, arts and entertainment, education, the family and religion.

Also as part of this theology there is the capture of wealth that is to be redistributed.

Glenn Beck is a follower of this as well as David Barton who is running Ted Cruz's SuperPAC.

Of course one could argue that there is no need to vote as Glenn Beck has already sworn Teddy in. :-)

What you just described is not “dominionism,” its Amilennialism.

This is the basic belief of Catholic, Lutheran, Orthodox, and most “Reformed” denominations.

IOW, they don’t believe what God said he was going to do.

Ted Cruz does not believe this, so what are you doing spraying it around like a troll?

I generally agree. Though “Our Father” does say, “And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us.”

So, as he says these words, as one would expect in a Presbyterian service, he would be seeking delivery from sin; although he isn’t the deepest of theological thinkers.

A link would have been nice, especially considering you provided one on Glen Beck who has absolutely positively nothing to do with your original claim. Let's review, shall we? In response to another poster saying "Never once heard Cruz abuse the word of God", you threw out the terms "Dominionism" and "Seven Mountains" as a rather poor substitute for disproving the statement about Cruz. You then post a video of someone praying over Ted Cruz (whom you failed to identify), and then when asked specifically about Dominionism, you post a link about Glen Beck who is Mormon.

So again, can you provide evidence that shows that Ted Cruz adheres to this Seven Mountain thingie. Oh, and while your at it, please tell me what religion you practice so that I can use it as a reference. Thanks.

And as for the capture of wealth, try reading Proverbs 13:22 since you seem to be unfamiliar with Bible 101.
