Second, forget about what they say about there beliefs, how do they act upon them? Who will stand in defense of marriage? Lets forget about any argument that might be tried to blur Gay/Straight distinctions. Who made marriage? GOD DID. To make it anything other than what HE intended is an attack upon Him,not our constitution.
Obviously, I stand in our Presidents corner. But its more by what I see, than what I hear. Our last President "talked" about his "faith", in fact the pastor of my church was one of his "spiritual advisors", but to me, our former President talked more about his faith than lived it. Our current President seems to live it more than talk about it.
Obviously I don't know the hearts of either man. And maybe, just maybe the DUers are right, and that there is this vast Bush conspiracy that has everybody fooled. Well, I'm just a simple man, evaluting the things I see and hear as best I can. And making decisions based on that. But when one man talks about his "faith", and everything rings hollow. And another man seems to walk the walk, more than talking the talk, he is the man I'll believe more.
Unfortunately today, we have "Christians" who listen more to the world instead of the Word. People who are more interested in What Would Jesus Drive, instead of What Jesus Did. People seem more concerned about externals than internals.
We have two candidates that have been under the microscope long enough to see what they are both made of. The Bible tells us "whatsoever a man thinks in his heart, so is he". Watch a man close enough and long enough you'll see whats in his heart.
Now, I will write an article on what it is like to grow up as a black Jewish woman in Russia.
Dan
I suppose they have documents to back this up.
Bush reads Oswald Chambers on a daily basis, as I have heard him say. I do believe he is "born again", although that may not be terminology he is accustomed to using.
Judge the man by his fruits, and his are definately godly.
So what is your point anyway?
I hope your evidence for this accusation is well founded in facts that can be verified outside of this little conspiracy theory book.
Good post, and excellent Scripture!
Please don't ping me to nonsense like this.
We post things on FR to have a discussion. This is from MSNBC and you can see it is a desperation attempt by the MSM to try to get part of Bush's base to stay home. The article is a pretty weak attempt.
When the media talks or writes about christianty I wonder what country have they grown up in. The only people I see so worried about christianty are the athiests and those who don't understand one thing about it. I always wonder why they complain soooo much. Born again,evangelical, fundamental are all words they seem to have no understanding of. Any christian is born again spiritually, there is what is called the great comission, and fundamental means believing in the bible as the inspired word of God. They try to write mumbo jumbo into these terms and make a mountain out of a mole hill.
He's got my vote and the votes of my family.
And every thinking Jew I know is voting for Bush since he's one of the few Presidents who is actually protecting Israel with more than talk.
If you've been raised as a Christian, sometimes it's not a thunderbolt.
Geez. Everyone's acceptance is different.
I think people like me that were already goody two shoes don't have thunderbolt conversions.
I think people that have strayed far, sometimes have really thunderbolt conversions.
I actually like it when someone has strayed far and then becomes a Christian. They are really alive with faith, and I wish my faith was as strong as theirs. Their conversions inspire me.
In fact, if you look at Scripture, the vast majority of people are saved by... growing up in believing households. Dramatic conversions, while they do happen, are extremely rare by comparison.
As one Bible scholar has noticed, how often do we see a 35 year old man come to the Lord out of unbelief and debauchery, join the church, and then two years later go back to his old ways? Prov. 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
The Lord must change the heart for true conversion. He works on His timetable.
Silly. Remember Iowa, early 2000. "Christ, because he changed my heart."
B I N G O!
I love it when the heathen pretend to know more about Christianity than the Christians. LOL!
That wouldn't surprise me as much if Bush belonged to a Reformed congregation, but he doesn't.
I have a close friend like that. So much so that he told me a few weeks ago that a movie about his life is in the works. I asked him what he thought of the script, and he said that they made him out to be too crazy, but that it was better than the first time when they portrayed him as too cruel.
The story of his thunderbolt is frankly astonishing.
Politicians! The "D" must stand for "Dinosaur" while the "R" stands for "Reptile".
Yes I agree
