We have never had a Franklin Graham type for President, why do Christians expect one this time?
We’ve been studying Genesis and the story of the Patriarchs. I encourage people to read about them. Today we read about Jacob. If we were allowed to vote for who God would name Israel, it probably wouldn’t be him.
I have an acquaintance who is strongly involved in the pro-Life movement. He’s by far a single issue voter.
I told him that the primaries are the time for electoral purity, but during the general election, we are down to a binary choice.
In his case, Stein and Johnson are as pro-abortion as Clinton, Trump has never been a strong pro-life guy but he’s definitely saying the right things. he’s approaching it from an economic perspective.
I believe that there are many ways to get the pro-life message across. Personally, I’m disappointed in those that make it into a religious thing. I’m not catholic and am uncomfortable with and very opposed to most catholic doctrines. When I attend pro-Life events, I feel that all the catholic religious images and pictures of Mary are detrimental to the cause of life and also serve to keep protestants and evangelicals away.
I'm 65 yo and can tell you scandals like we have now would not have worked in the past. No one expected POTUS to walk on water, but rape? Hundreds of mistresses? Lies and treason? Selling access to government?
I know we had the Tea Pot Dome and Alger Hiss and other things, but the majority of the country thought these were bad things and needed to be prosecuted. NOTHING seems bad enough to disqualify Clinton, but talking dirty will get you sexual assault charges. I'm still so angry about the IRS going after the Tea Party I shake just thinking about it. Nixon was impeached partly for his enemies list and his use of the government for it.
