HOLLAND — Keith Mannes has given his life to the Christian Reformed Church, serving as a pastor for more than 30 years. He’s done so happily and thankfully.

But on Oct. 11, Mannes gave his last sermon and walked away from ministry among increasing political tension and divisiveness.

Put simply, he stepped away due to the church’s broad support of President Donald Trump.

“reformed” stopped me dead in my tracks.....

It was founded in 1571.

Reformed meant something else then.

The Commies have been busy, not just in colleges and universities, but in seminaries as well. I belong to a small presbyterian denomination. Our seminary has lost the support of a large portion of the membership because of the liberal (non-Biblical, if you will) nature of their teachings. Enrollment is down because of it. It is a real, but sad, problem.

Keith “I’m A Fanatic Servant Of Ba’al” Mannes quits in a snit because Democrats won’t be able to install Satan worshippers on the Federal bench if Trump wins.

Perhaps not a homo, but it may behoove someone to look into his online usage, perhaps dealing with porn or pedophilia.

(And so you know...it really hurts that this even came to mind. Although Yeshua is not besmirched, stuff like this does give His Church a black eye.)

This cat may have his reformed theology down pat; but he is clueless about Trump. This quote, “Trump punishes people for being poor” says it all.

DJT’s attitude toward the poor is the same as toward one and all. “The opportunity is there; work hard; never feel entitled.” Today’s lilly-livered left twists itself into a pretzel over all three of these points.

A choice. An uninformed choice, to be sure, but every person has the right to make a complete fool of himself or herself, only know that choices have consequences.

That remains between himself and his God.

Showing his tolerance and love, the pastor walked out because God had chosen a leader and the pastor thought God was wrong.

Atheists denigrate religion by pointing to the corrupt behaviour of many religious leaders...... While it is a weak argument (religion should be judged by the overall effect it has on a society), it is also a correct accusation in many cases
