“he also suggested that President Obama might be a Muslim rather than a Christian.”

HE IS A MUSLIM, in his heart, and he certainly is no Christian.

I believe Sen Cruz’s sister is dead. That should make you feel better.

Reading your post makes me think we are DU.

That was just pathetic diatribe.

Honestly, you folks have sunken into the primordial muck, and now think that’s evidence of being gifted.

I think Trump’s sister is pushing 80 years old, isn’t she?

>> would the Biscuits at the Trump’s ‘Church of the 40 Foot Wall’ be orange? <<

To be fair to Trump, I think he didn’t refer to “biscuits.”

Rather, if I recall correctly, he used the term “little cracker” to describe the communion wafer used in his church.

this is so much Bible babble

It is not the place of the writer to even attempt to judge

Brown is judged un Christian to make the attempt

Is Trump Christian? Is the Pope Muslim?

"Trump offered two conservative judges for consideration"

Here are Trump's exact words. You can read many things into them, but they truly are utter nonsense. It's a classic case of people hearing what they want to hear:

"Well, I can say this. If the president, and if I were president now, I would certainly want to try and nominate a justice. I'm sure that, frankly, I'm absolutely sure that President Obama will try and do it. I hope that our Senate is going to be able - Mitch, and the entire group, is going to be able to do something about it. In times of delay, we could have a Diane Sykes, or you could have a Bill Pryor - we have some fantastic people. But this is a tremendous blow to conservatism. It's a tremendous blow, frankly, to our country.

>> You don't have to be a Christian to be a good president <<

True enough. Examples are easy to cite.

But you do need good temperament -- a quality that's seriously lacking in your typical paranoid narcissist.

Yes, those are his exact words. Two actual people he floated, versus “Just Trust Me” Ted Cruz who offered up a great big zero names.

People see what they want to see, indeed.

>> This is not just anti-Catholic sentiment, this is a revolt from Catholics towards this feckless PC Pope <<

Agreed.

But some of the old-fashioned anti-Catholic bigotry is still out there, especially among Southern evangelicals.

Anyway, my bottom line is that Trump can probably exploit that bigotry without losing votes from his non-bigoted supporters.

This is not PERSONAL, just responding to your article with humor, logic, sarcasm, and common sense. IF I offend you, please let me apologize in advance.

“That alone would indicate that Trump is a not a real Christian”

Thank you God for enlightening all of us sinners. I had no idea God was a Freeper. So tell us, who else among us is not a Christian?

David, a man after God’s own heart. As far as I know, Trump hasn’t had anyone murdered. Even if he had, God would forgive him.

Trump has never asked for forgiveness? Just how do you know this? He said so himself, you say....

In these cases I always like to quote the lyrics of the song Rumours by Adele.

“just cause I said it, don’t mean that I meant it, just cause you heard it.
(you can’t know what is in someone’s heart)

Truly ONLY God knows, for sure, one’s heart. You, the pope, nor any man, can “know”. We can “assume” (I guess you know the meaning of that word) all we like, but we can’t really know.

NKJ John 8:7 “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”

Let’s see, if you were the crowd and Trump was the women, who would Jesus side with?

Does your religion require the adherent to ask for and accept the forgiveness of Jesus?

I believe Trump is a Christian warrior in that he will fight for Christianity and Christians everywhere.
I also believe he is a Christian - taught by his mother. Mothers are important in the spiritual growth of the child IMO.
I believe in my heart that he is a good man who cares for Americans and America. I also believe that in his campaigning, he has had an awakening about the goodness of most Americans outside of NYC. He has never had much contact with ordinary Americans outside his dealings in NYC and big money across the country. He is learning what our concerns are and that they are real ie Obamacare, CommonCore, fed lands, 2nd Amendment... I am not perfect and make mistakes. I could be wrong and naive but I don’t believe in my heart that I am.

Words mean things, and those words are utter nonsense. Trum-pets obviously can see what isn’t there. No further comment is necessary.

The judge not lest ye be judged means don’t assume you know what only God knows.


The judge not lest ye be judged, when taken in full context, means don’t be a hypocrite. God spells out what he means in the Bible.

If one is committing sexual sin, they probably shouldn’t judge others for the same. If one is embezzeling money, they probably shouldn’t make judgements on people stealing from Walmart. In other words, ..........

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite,.......


And we do have an idea who God loves. God loves everyone of us. The ones that will be forgiven are those that accept the gift of salvation offered by our Lord.

Liberals like to say, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” — In other words, all is acceptable. There should be no further discussion on values. If we don’t agree, we’re making a judgement. They might should consider that there is a lot more in the Bible than that one verse they so often use out of context. There are a lot of judgments throughout the Bible.

Trump's sister who is a judge is bad but Cruz's sister who is a drug addict criminal is ok with you?

I was pointing out an obvious exception to someone who stated that Trump calls out fetus-killers. Trump hasn't been very persuasive in convincing his sister of the error of her ways. Didn't Trump praise his sister as a model judge?

Are we now DU?

I'm willing to put my post up against yours to see which is the most DU-like. Putting words in my mouth is very DU-like. What did I say that suggested approval of the actions of Ted's sister? Bringing up a family tragedy to bring down an opponent is very DU-like. My criticism of Donald's sister (and his endorsement of her) is a political disagreement while your characterization of Ted's sister as "drug addict criminal" is a personal insult. Again, very DU-like level of discourse on your part.

As for his conduct, while we have no idea how he lives in private, and while he presumably has many good qualities that are commendable, we do know that his public conduct is often deplorable, with his tweets and comments violating almost every standard of Christian decorum.

Every individual has both good and bad aspects of their character. A moral judgment requires observation of both public and private volitional actions. Without knowing his private actions, a moral conclusion may be erroneous. And only God can truly know what is in a person's heart.
