You’ve been caught and now want to change the subject. You raised questions about her faith that she has already answered as well as they can be answered and only God knows the truth. You did this to keep doubts alive.
Romans 14:10
You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
What you are doing is a sin.
Regarding judging, I find it amusingly ironic that you are judging my motives for questioning Ms. Haley. If what I am doing is a sin, you are at least as equally culpable. With all due respect, you are judging me.
I believe I am justified in questioning actions of a political candidate. Yes, Ms. Haley may have answered questions. But, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter also answered questions concerning their faith. I do not take the words of any politician at face value. I also look at the communication through their deeds.
Political candidates should be questioned and evaluated. The CNN article mentioned that she took her children to a Sikh temple and the Methodist church. I have heard from others in the greater Lexington area that corroborated this point. I do not know if she still does, but this troubles me if true. I am troubled by her attending the Sikh temple even if only one or two times a year. I also am troubled by the change in her website concerning God. It went from an amorphous, ambiguous statement statement to one mentioning Christ frequently. While I hope the new statement truthfully reflects Ms. Haley's position, I am concerned why the old statement was there originally. I am also concerned about the timing. I am also troubled that she attends a United Methodist Church a very liberal denomination which I disagree with on most issues.
I Thess 5:21 states “Test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.” Matthew 7 says just as you can identify a tree by its fruit so you can identify people by their actions. I John 4:1 states “Dear Friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God (or the devil). For there are many false prophets in the world.
It is not sin to raise important questions and to test what is said and evaluate actions of a politician to try to discern the truth.
