You don’t belong to the same church DT does. Do some research on the teachings of the Presbyterian church.

It’s all grace — Christ died on the cross for our sins. No need to ask for forgiveness My church believes similar.

Take a good theology class about the differences in the Protestant churches and how they differ

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well no I ain’t a Presbyterian but so what? God doesn’t change how He operates.

I studied that stuff under a DTS graduate over the last couple of decades, in a bible church with no denominational strings.

Some people are so big into grace that they posit God has no rules.

(Contrarily, some people are so big into rules that they posit God has no grace.)

God has grace and God has rules. They fit together in love. God won’t violate His most inmost being. He won’t turn love into hate for anybody.

Hehe. Trump’s mom like all we Moms who care.

[hoosiermama]

And God has told you just how he operates.
Aren’t you blessed?

I’m sorry we have nothing further to say to each other.
People who claim to know it all have been dealt with by Jesus and the parables of the Pharisees in the bible.

So I’m dusting the dirt off my sandles

Have a good life

[HiTech RedNeck]

Why so cowardly?

God has told everybody, in a book we call the bible.

I may not know all, but perhaps I really do know more than you do.

Not everything everybody shakes off their sandals is dust. Sometimes it’s pearls.

Have a wonderful eternity.

That’s good. But we also don’t know how much he prayed before. Maybe he prayed a lot before too.

And to undertake the presidency, he certainly needs God’s help and he knows it.

He doesn’t mention her much but from stories he was very close to her He did community college out of boarding school some suggested just to stay close to her and family.

It is believed the prayers of all True Americans will be heard. HE has indeed blessed us with Trump and will hear our prayers to protect him for the sake of our Great Country. GOD BLESS AMERICA

[Georgia Girl 2]

I think Trump has been a church goer his whole life. Although I imagine the prospect of becoming the US President is a sobering spiritual revelation.

[itsahoot]

But we know WHO He didn’t anoint.

Actually I think we are asked to pray for our leaders for He has put them over us.

[Pelham]

Pretty good until he used Lincoln.

Remember the parable of the fig tree?  If it bears no fruit, cut it down!

Well, the Donald has been bringing in the figs for decades -- creating value, hiring people, getting rich, and reinvesting in his business.  And now he's cultivating a that YUGE orchard of figs, America.  And he's sacrificing a lot of easy life to do that.

Most of us pray with words.  Others pray by turning dreams, high thoughts, instruction of other men, and enormous dedication into blessed actions to harvest an incredible crop from His bounty.

Cheers, my FRiend.

Thank you for your informative posts and insights. Very helpful!

The other evening DJT was talking about his brother Fred who died of Al oholism The questioner pushed. DT explained he didn’t drink, smoke etc because of his brother. Then he stated “I have my own problems!”

Again he was pushed. He stood his ground basically saying I am not without sin but I’m not discussing it publicly. .... Much simpler and In fewer words
We all are entitled to keep our transgressions between ourselves and God
He seldom mentions personal feelings in public. It was years before he could even discuss the pain of his brothers death

There is certainly something stirring which ‘folks’ just don’t understand. Be it this video or the article from True News
http://www.trunews.com/gods-man-firefighter-shares-2011-vision-of-president-trump/

The pot may be full of much more than Trump and the Oval Office (this election) It may be that mankind is about to see a true revelation which will affect us forever.

I had not heard about this encounter/exchange. It was so interesting—thanks for filling me in.

One of the best novels I’ve ever read, Miss Julia Speaks her Mind, was written by a Presbyterian author. Although it was fiction, it did afford a window into the Presbyterian mind. From what little I know, everything you’ve said is true.

May God bless Trump—and you too!

[hoosiermama]

Blessings to you too

May God continue to Bless America
With His mercy and grace

[Fantasywriter]

Amen!
