Jindal questions Trump's Christian faith
The Hill ^ | 9/25/2015 | Jonathan Swan

Posted on 09/25/2015 7:23:34 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Ben Carson once gently questioned Donald Trump's Christian faith, but on Friday Bobby Jindal went much further. The Louisiana governor explicitly and repeatedly ridiculed Trump's faith, effectively accusing him of faking his Christianity before an evangelical conference that had heard the GOP frontrunner speak only hours earlier. Jindal, who is lagging at 0.3 percent in the national polls for the Republican presidential nominee, came onto the stage at the Values Voter Summit in Washington holding a book. Jindal joked with the audience, saying that Trump -- who on Friday morning held up what he said was his childhood Bible before that same audience -- had left his Bible behind. The punchline: Jindal raised the book for the cameras. It was Trump's bestseller "The Art of the Deal." "[Trump] said that his favorite book was the Bible," Jindal said, later in the speech. "He couldn't name one verse." "Folks, he hasn't read the Bible. You know he hasn't read the Bible because his name's not in the Bible." Many in the audience of more than 1,000 evangelicals laughed and clapped. Jindal received even louder cheers when he described Trump as a "narcissist" who might appeal as an entertainer but would be dangerous as a leader. "We conservatives have a choice," Jindal said. "Are we going to turn to our conservative principles... or are we going to turn to a man who believes in nothing but himself."

Give it up. You are making a big ass out of yourself. Everyone knows you hate Trump.

Point is taken. You have managed to change nothing.

What a waste of time. Pig headed too.

this nations churches are full of people who embrace CHURCHIANITY without ever considering becoming a Christian

“I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

Donad is CLEARLY one of those people

the CORE of donalds admission to NOT being a follower of Christ

“I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

he even reiterates his denial of his NEED for a savior..and redeemer

Real Christians just dont make statements like this...but the TRUMPBOYZ and the TRUMPGIRLZ just dont care .......how full of himself and UNFIT for the OFFICE of POTUS the donnie truly is.

they cleary dont GET that WE are supposed to be DISCERNING.....

oh well

America,,,,, what a Nation IT WAS

We are not electing a pastor. We are electing a person who respects our rights of religious freedom and respects the Judeo-Christian founding of America. That is all.

You need to drop this because this is foolish. Jindal is and ass and you are following in his footsteps.

I will leave the judgment of man to God, not Meshuge Mikey.

Thanks now, have a blessed afternoon.

“I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

THATS the CORE of the ISSUE

he may carry a BOX of bibles “around but his statement is in direct contradiction of CHRISRTIANY at its very CORE

were not talking about the minors here wer are talking about the MAIN and the PLAIN and Donalds REJECTED that Q

“. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

the horse’s mouth has spoken!

hes full of CRAP to put it politely

he is Presenting himself as someone hes already admitted that he CLEARLY is NOT

this is not a COMPLEX concept.

he doesnt bring GOD into it....... He FORGIVES HIMSELF

this man is a HYPOCRITE and a LIAR

that should be a fair warning and sign of HOW to read what this guy says he stands for.

Hussien Obama LIED about being a Christian

Look what the pass he was given has wrought!!

Better forewarned than foreclosed

“I will leave the judgment of man to God, not Meshuge Mikey.”

The BIBLE directs us to be discerning

I have discerned!

the lesson here: discern or burn

You are a very sick personality. You are obsessive. You couldn’t get a dehydrated man to drink water. You never know when to stop. I am not the only person who thinks that.

Stop. A normal person knows when enough is enough. You are scary.

Again, again, again, I must repeat myself. If you had lived in Louisiana for the past 8 years, you would not say anything like what you just did. You wouldn’t dream of it.

You say one thing but FReeper mumblypeg says another:
I’m from Louisiana but moved away after Katrina, and before Jindal was elected governor. Even before the storm, the whole state was like Detroit, blighted and down at the heels. Especially in New Orleans, corruption was a fact of life; you had to grease palms to get the simplest things done.

Went back for the 10th anniversary a couple weeks ago. OMG! The recovery under Jindal is FANTASTIC and the economy is booming! I never should have left! New flood walls, storm remediation projects, drains, pumps, pump houses; the docks and wharves are thriving with ships and trucking companies, offshore oil drilling, new hotels, condos, offices, businesses...things that have needed doing for decades have been DONE in 7 years under Jindal, and this following the worst natural disaster in US history.

But the thing that blew my mind the most, was the Huey P. Long bridge.

I’d driven over that narrow, rusty, rickety junk-heap for decades with eyes closed and fingers crossed. Now it’s been torn down and replaced with a modern concrete and steel span. Corruption was the reason these things didn’t get done before. Money for many of these public works projects had been repeatedly allocated, in past decades, only to disappear into pockets of entrenched politicians and their cronies. So, yeah, I agree that Jindal is the one most likely to get Congress to allocate funds, and get the border wall built.
Go, Bobby, Go!

Some guy Janis Joplin used to hang with?

Is it better they hang together, or should they hang separately?

That was all going on BEFORE Bobby Jindal took office, always has been. The public works — federally mandated and paid for.

The most laughable assertion concerns the bridge. It was not torn down and rebuilt, but refurbished. The legislature and voters approved the refurbishment in the 80s and work began on the bridge in April 2006. Jindal took office in 2008.

Incidentally, New Orleans became a sanctuary city in 2013. Jindal did not oppose it, although, now, since he is running for president, he campaigns against them — says the sanctuary cities are partners in crime. What does that make him?

It’s difficult to come up with a HOLY way to treat the immigrants in this nation who have come over here illegally. We go along with Jindal’s plan thus far; it seems fair.

But bottom line, Jindal loves Christ and it shows, through his efforts to help the unborn [this is a HUGE mark of a good man], and his efforts to help Christian businesses. He is pro-life, pro-family. I hope Trump converts too, but sometimes with health and wealth going for you, there’s really no reason to seek God.

Your forays into English are abominable. On the positive side, your Spanish was perfect. Stick with Spanish.
