Trumping Morality
Oklahoma Wesleyan University ^ | January 2016 | Dr. Everett Piper

Posted on 01/29/2016 4:34:01 PM PST by EveningStar

On January 18, Jerry Falwell, Jr. welcomed Donald Trump to Liberty University to speak in the school's chapel. As the college president who wrote the "this is not a daycare" article that received so much national attention recently, I have been asked by the media if I would be next: Will I be inviting Mr. Trump to Oklahoma Wesleyan University to speak in our chapel service? My answer has been simple and brief. No, I will not.

In selecting speakers for Oklahoma Wesleyan, party affiliation and political positions do not matter. Personal conduct, public statements, theological integrity and moral consistency do ...

Anyone who is pro-abortion is not on my side. Anyone who calls women "pigs," "ugly," "fat" and "pieces of a-" is not on my side. Anyone who mocks the handicapped is not on my side. Anyone who has argued the merits of a government takeover of banks, student loans, the auto industry and healthcare is not on my side ...

This man’s article sums up almost exactly how I feel about Donald Trump. I honestly feel that Trump is virtually 0% on my side as a social conservative.

Truth hurts. Rosie is a fat, ugly abortionist pig. But she’s not a piece of a-, except maybe for another just like her.

What about Trumps past support for abortion and his mocking of the handicapped reporter?

Going by his statement, he would have banned King David, his son King Solomon, and Judge Samson.

Good op ed! If Trump was a new Christian I can understand his waywardness but he's saying he isn't a new Christian and his actions as a politician does not show off his alleged Christianity well.

Trump is not who I want on social issues.
On the other hand, he is not the utter bag of filth Mitt Romney is. Nor his he a man who was openly working to arm islamists who were attacking Christian settlements in the Middle East like John McCain was and still is doing.

In 2008 I wrote in Herman Cain.
I was forced to vote for the conservative party ticket in 2012.
Cruz I would love and Trump I can at least hold my nose and vote for.

Teump is not a good candidate, but he is still three steps up from the previous two presidential elections.

FYi, God did judge all those men.

Samson came to repentance late after going astray but he was still judged in the end and choose death too

B/S on mocking a handicapped reporter. False spin (lie) by dhimmiecrats. The man says he’s a pro-life Christian. Who am I to judge otherwise? I like Cruz, but if Trump gets the nomination, will enthusiastically support him (unlike my tepid support for nominee Romney).

Actually, Trump says he's "a great Christian."

This is one illustration showing why I don’t think Trump does as well in the Bible Belt. If Cruz and Rubio play on their religious affiliation the Southern primaries may turn against Trump. He’s given his opponents plenty of material to prove he lacks an understanding of the Bible and Christian theology.

mocking of the handicapped reporter?

I know that you were addressed on that and it was proven a lie. Seems to be a WAC-A-MOLE game with you. Why would you keep repeating it when you know it is a lie?

Maybe you are just simple minded and do not know about the reporter's history. The reporter wrote about islamics celebrating in New Jersey as the towers fell. When Mr. Trump pointed it out, this reporter now at the new york times reversed himself and said it never happened.

Trump was not mocking his physical handicap, he was mocking his mental handicap.

On FR we call that mental handicap liberalism. Something you seem to be defending here.

lots of Pride in that opinion.

James 4:6 - But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

A lot of Trump supporters don’t want to believe that Trump mocked the reporter. However, I have watched the video and it is quite clear that Trump is mimicking the jerky movement and awkward angle of the Reporters arm. It has not been proved to be a lie. In fact, pretty much everyone except the diehard Trump supporters say that Trump was mocking the Reporters disability.
