You asked — “How does Thompson fail that and Huckabee pass that “Christian” test?”

Well, take a look up above where I go into what I heard from Thompson and what that means.

But, there may be some confusion here about being a Christian. This has nothing to do with politics or anything like that. It has nothing to do with whether someone is a Democrat or Republican. It has nothing to do with whether they are liberal or conservative.

A Christian is one simply on the basis of God’s free gift, His Son, Jesus Christ and what He has done for you. A person accepts the provision that Jesus Christ has accomplished per the “good news” — the Gospel, as it’s called in the Bible.

So, it’s like you’re saying that since Thompson may have a better political position (from the way you’re evaluating it) then you can’t see why he’s not a Christian and Huckabee is a Christian. But, politics and liberals or not — have absolutely nothing to do with it.

I think you’re having trouble separating politics and the criteria there — from Christianity and the criteria in that arena. They are not the same criteria. That seems to be hard for people to grasp...

“But, there may be some confusion here about being a Christian.”

There is and it has to do with behavior, not words. The confusion is yours. Star Traveler, the Christobot.

Your self-righteousness blinds you to the true message.

I feel sorry for you.

Good Night.
