Charleston, S.C., Dec 2, 2019 / 03:30 pm (CNA).- Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg quoted the Gospel of Matthew in his first statewide ad in South Carolina, the latest in the candidate’s references to Christianity in his campaign messages.
The ad opens with a clip from an Iowa speech Buttigieg gave Nov. 1:
“In our White House, you won’t have to shake your head and ask yourself: What ever happened to ‘I was hungry and you fed me; I was a stranger and you welcomed me’,” a reference to Matthew 25:35.
The ad will be released on Tuesday in South Carolina television markets.
Although he has polled better in Iowa and New Hampshire, Buttigieg polls at an average of 6.5 points in South Carolina, behind former vice president Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
As the first southern state in the primary process, South Carolina is generally considered an important campaign milestone, and primary performance in the state is regarded as an indication of a candidate’s national electability.
The South Carolina primary is especially a key indicator of support for candidates among black voters, who make up 30% of the state’s electorate and 60% of Democratic primary voters.
Buttigieg has come under harsh criticism for his record on racial issues during his term as mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and has only 4% support among black voters nationwide. Some political analysts have suggested his Gospel-themed video is intended as an overture to churchgoing black voters in the state.
In the ad, Buttigieg stresses a need to “unify the American people,” saying that unification “doesn’t mean pretending that we’re all the same. It means unifying around issues from wages and family leave to gun violence and immigration. The hope of an American experience defined not by......

Wonder why he steers clear of leviticus
A Sodomite telling us how to be a proper Christian.
What he really means is, “give your gd money” to illegals. I don’t think the Bible supports stealing.
“Ere this night does wane, you will drink the black sperm of my vengeance!” - Z-Man from Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls
Seeing it must’ve been like a religious experience for Buttiguice.
Envy of others’ property is also a sin. Coveting thy neighbor’s property and thy neighbor’s partner.
“Lesson on, get on your knees”
Phony gospel.

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
A gospel. Not THE GOSPEL. That saves in this dispensation of the GRACE of God. 2 Tim. 2:15 begs to be followed..
Pete likes to quote the Bible.
Does he quote this?
Leviticus 18:22
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Romans 1:26-27 (KJV)
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Sometimes I wonder why a bolt of lightning doesn’t just come out of the clear blue and zot someone!
Phony? Why, it kind of reminds me of that part in Matthew, where Jesus says that all those why cry to Him, “Lord, Lord” will be admitted to Heaven. You remember that, right?
“What ever happened to ‘I was hungry and you fed me; I was a stranger and you welcomed me’,” a reference to Matthew 25:35.”
How about Romans 1:26-27 Pete?
“26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
I am shaking my head and wondering whatever happened to “the separation of church and state” liberals always talk about. I thought that old book he is quoting is just a bunch of old fairy tales.
Another believer in The Nine Suggestions.
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.
Matthew 7:21-23
Pete Butt*#%&^* cites Gospel. Sights it, maybe, if he squints and shades his eyes.
I find it difficult to believe that the Christian voters of South Carolina will be impressed by this arrogant gay Yankee quoting scripture at them.
It reminds me of a hell-fire and brimstone Southern Baptist preacher deciding he needs to get votes in lower Manhattan and letting all the local gays know what his favorite show tunes are.
