“He is squishy on some social issues - I know it and it does bother me, but I still am supporting him because if we don’t deal with some big issues like terrorism, and illegals we won’t have a country to worry about social issues.”
It scares me when “Christian” folks (I notice you quote Spurgeon) makes compromises like this. You should know that the opposite it true. You get the social/morale issues right THEN the other stuff will fall into place. “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness...”
“For all these reasons love him or hate him - Trump is the most logical candidate.”
I see it as exactly the opposite. Because Trump is absent on social/moral issues and only supports what is truly conservative when it suits whatever his current agenda is, he cannot be trusted. The “logical” choice for a true conservative (especially one socially so) voter is Ted Cruz.
I cannot ever vote for Donald Trump. Not in a primary or general election. I have zero trust in his judgement and his moral character. I “believe” that many social conservatives (I am evangelical) like myself will just stay home or leave the ballot blank if this man is on it.
This is not a pout. I cannot stand before God and say I voted for this person. Every fiber in my being screams that he is not a person to be sitting in the chair of POTUS.
Bravo, sir (or ma’am!)
And I cannot stand before God and say I voted for a false Christian Cruz. At least I know where Trump stands. We have lost the social war already. I do seek God’s kingdom first, politics has NOTHING do to with that and I am appalled at the number of so called “Christians” (right back at you) who equate politics with faith. They are not the same nor should be confused as many do.
Cruz will lose and we have lost so many times already. Cruz is not the logical choice for Conservatives because it will end up like Dole, McCain, and Romney. Every fiber in my being screams that Cruz is not a person to be sitting in the chair of POTUS. The general will all be about how he is not eligible (true or not that will be the narrative) and people will not vote for him. Hence Hillary.
