“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.
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?
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.â€
Let’s see, if you were the crowd and Trump was the women, who would Jesus side with?
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.
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.
Sure!
But...
...what STANDARD shall we use??
Some will trot out the old FRUITS thing; while others will print what are allegedly Jesus' words on the matter - John 6:28-29
Is he running for President or the second coming?
Only the arrogant try to judge the beliefs of others. It is also a sin. Not very Christian.
Even though he brags about his many affairs, some with married women, I’d say no we can’t.
It was extremely inappropriate for the Pope to question Mr. Trump’s faith.
It was equally inappropriate for Mr. Trump to question teh faith of Dr. Carson and of Senator Cruz.

Contrary to this author and his TULIP Calvinist ilk, Christianity does NOT begin with us, with any mental exercise of learning the "right" doctrine or reciting a "sinner's prayer".
It begins with Christ; His Incarnation, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension.
We receive His gifts in faith and Baptism.
It is NOT about us. Never has been. Never will be.
Here are the facts, those who are running an election bid as a religious campaign and not a political campaign will be totally rejected by the American people in the general election and actually will not be able to win a nomination to run at all.
The reason for this is, typically and effectively, any such candidate whose main dogma or theme is a religious one and not a political one, is almost always wrapped up in religious sectism that is outside of the mainstream of religion in America, or whose tendency is to surround themselves with off the farm personalities of a disturbing nature that eventually will often turn on their mentor in the end due to the very nature of their disturbance of the mind.
This election is not about an imminent return of Jesus or the end times or any such thing, while that may be the discussion among a congregation it is not the discussion that Americans are interested in when voting in the general election in 2016.
It is the economy, number one, and followed in no particular order by immigration and terrorism. All three has in one way, a symbiotic relation to each other or can notably impact one against the other.
The Cruz campaign, under the auspices of Rafael Cruz and Glenn Beck, is increasingly being associated with a religious campaign and not a political campaign, and the religious aspect is increasingly being seen as a form of cultism, as the election moves forward there will come more and more exposure in the media to this aspect and which will be seen as a serious issue, the religious campaign will be totally rejected by the American people. It is increasingly doubtful in my opinion that Cruz at this juncture will get the nomination, but if by chance he does, the same dynamic of the public rejecting politicians and no longer respecting them because too many have been revealed as phony and self-serving is the same dynamic of the pubic rejecting ballyhoo preachers because too many have been revealed as phony and self-serving, or often the most vocal being border line lunatics or full blown disturbed personalities.
Beck is an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church Monastery, right here is California, specifically Modesto, California, of which other of its ordained ministers includes Hugh Heffner and John Lennon (dead). He has jumped from one religion to another, there are now “rumors” that he may convert to Judaism (if that is even possible, it would likely be his own conversion in his own mind). He is mixed up in cults and has serious personality disorders and lives in an apocalyptic end times world that reflects his own apocalyptic and self-destructive conflicts within his own mind.
