I recall 99% of the people on this forum condemning Obama for attending a politically correct pseudo Christian church where the gospel of social justice was preached and the Gospel of Christ was rejected.

The Gospel of Positive Thinking is not the gospel of Christ. Trump bragged about growing up listening to Norman Vincent Peale's sermons and how he wished that they would never have ended.

But as the Late Walter Martin once said, "Paul is appealing but Peale is appalling."

Thanks for the information. But it will fall on deaf (itching) ears.

Itchy ears indeed.

But since Norman Vincent Peale is beloved by the prosperity gospel crowd, Trump gets a pass.

“Paul is appealing, but Peale is appalling.” I would have sworn that Adlai E. Stevenson, II, said that, but maybe he borrowed the line.

Trump said he considers taking communion to be a form of asking forgiveness and takes communion as often as possible. How is that the Positive Thinking Gospel ?

Seems to me a lot of people want to see Cruz and the sort of Christian he's not and want to see Trump as not being Christian at all.

Well, it's Cruz who has the Mormon contingent in his camp with Romney and Beck but a lot of the same people who refused to vote for Romney because he is Mormon drool all over Cruz.

How that makes any sense is beyond me since it's obviously Ted taking the money and help and promising something in return to the very Mormon crowd those championing Cruz refused to support.
