On the one hand, he doesn’t get it. On the other hand, neither does anyone, until of course they do. So what? Pray for his soul. Pray for repentance. Be grateful that he retains enough common sense and perception of what is right and wrong to be a decent contender. I am glad he has a good attitude toward Christianity. We are not electing a theologian or a preacher.
What irks me more is someone who claims to be a Christian yet holds to all sorts of principles that are hostile to Christianity. Trump reminds me of how things used to be — how most people in this country used to feel toward Christianity whether they counted themselves among them or not. It is the appreciation of the judeo-christian ethic. That does not mean he has to have lived it perfectly. Everyone falls short. The question is, what is the standard.
Some on here don’t want a leader - they want a pastor. We do need someone in office who believes in God and the Bible - I’m not so sure Trump is as egotistical as people think, but he puts forth an image of confidence. Sometimes he goes overboard on the bragging, and he admitted that in his speech in MI. He doesn’t need this job - he has an empire and enough money to last him and his family the rest of his life. Most of these yahoos want the job to keep the gravy train - eating at the trough of the American taxpayer - rolling. Yes, even Ted Cruz - as much as I like him. From what I’ve read - his main ambition from the time he got out of law school, was to work for the government. What that tells me is that he likes the cushy, job with the great benefits. There is just something about Cruz that I don’t trust and can’t put my finger on. Perhaps it is his wife’s background and influence, or perhaps there is something else - I don’t know yet, but it will come out. I don’t think he’s all that strong on illegal immigration either.
