I appreciate your lengthy and thoughtful reply. And I understand where you coming from. I am a passionate man and my moods certainly are capable of swaying greatly.
It’s interesting that the post you got from me dated back to October 1st of last year. The biggest thing that Trump did that started me losing great respect for him happened approximately one month later and if you’re any kind of a God-fearing man as I am I suspect it certainly didn’t help in the election which he lost. Or I should say was stolen from him. What happened one month later? Melania Trump came out and announced that Donald Trump was the first president that entered office supporting homosexual marriage. Up to that point Trump had done a good job walking the line as far as homosexual marriage. He had showed up at Evangelical churches and made himself seem perhaps like he may have even embraced Christ as his Savior. And then he sends out Melania to say that he endorsed gay marriage? That’s about as anti-Christian as you get. I’m presuming he did it to win votes and really tossed his character right out the window as far as me trusting that he actually has any core conservative beliefs. But I recognize that he may be the candidate again and I would vote for him but I’ve lost a lot of trust and respect for him. And again his latest of endorsement of Morgan Ortagus (right out of the swamp)in Tennessee and then him lying about Robby Starbuck saying that Starbuck voted for Obama really really bother me and make me question what is the driving force behind a lot of Trumps decisions.
The Bible says that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God. And I ultimately suppose what I think about Trump as his biggest weakness is that he doesn’t truly believe in God. And he may even think that it’s okay if he defies God. But you can’t. And this country is going to continue to suffer as long as we have such leaders.
...and fwiw, I am a very flawed Christian man. But I never try to tell God that he’s wrong.
Mine was not actually a thoughtful reply and I apologize for that because we have so few actual disagreements and share so many of the same frustrations. Thank you for answering my snarkiness with kindness. Yours was the thoughtful post and explained precisely where you are coming from, and I do appreciate your point of view.
