Aka “Candlemas.”
Donald Trump has the lead, for the nonce
He shouldn’t talk about schlong, putz, or schwanz
Keeping foot out of mouth
He could conquer the south
But circumspection is not what he wants
LMAO! A+++++
I thought that was “ponce”.
This column reviews several Trump quotes and observes that about the only consistent position that Trump has taken over the last several years is support for government-run universal health care. But the column also addresses in some detail an analysis of the somewhat confusing embrace of Trump by some in the evangelical community.
In response to those who say either (1) "we aren't electing a pastor-in-chief" or (2) "who are you to judge whether Trump is or is not a Christian", Erick says this:
Donald Trump calls himself a Christian, but has never asked God for forgiveness and sees no need to repent. Point that out to many an evangelical Christian and they will be quick to accuse you of judging Donald Trump. And if you point out that 1 Corinthians 5 makes clear that Christians are to judge anyone who calls himself a Christian, Trump defenders will proclaim they are not electing a pastor. Paul wrote, "[do not] associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler." The Bible also implores the faithful to seek out godly men for their leaders.I found the following observation from the column to be particularly deeply insightful:
That men who spend their time wrapped in scripture and preaching in pulpits are quick to embrace a man who is on his third wife gets me thinking. This man is on his third wife -- after having cheated on his first wife with his second -- and says he has never asked God for forgiveness, cannot name a favorite book of the Bible and has no favorite passage of scripture. This suggests to me that many Christian preachers in this country have unsure moorings and let their homesickness for this country as they think they once knew it supersede their homesickness for the land to which they have not yet been, but to which they supposedly long.I pray that God gives GOP primary voters the discernment not to saddle us with this democrat at the top of our ticket.
excellent points all. Dave and I tried to address that very same thing last week.
I don’t mind so much if people want to support someone for whatever reason, but don’t lie about a faith he does not evince of having.
well of course. that’s what is hard to take, someone trying to act like he is a practicing Christian, when that just strains credulity.
Wanna bet Obama mounts a prayer rug at that mosque?
Sweater weather here today. I am LOVING wearing sweaters instead of coats the last week. Who knew the frozen tundra could be so nice in the dead of winter.
won’t take that bet, bc it is likely!
has been warmish yesterday and today, but supposed to rain.
Health care for all, Trump decried
Showing his more liberal side
To the left he did crawl
let his fans caterwaul
For the nonce, not conservative bonafide.
Good job. The only Christian man, who is conservative enough in this race is Cruz. I pray for our country. We need it. Will have to fast along with prayer as I did during the endless recount for Bush2. Scary times.
Hmmmmn.
And here I was, all thinknin’ nonce came once before tence. Must relax morce.
A+++ very good!
A+++ good one robt
It was 64 yesterday. A very good weekend to own a car wash.
Heck yeah. I still need to wash mine. Maybe I should do that right now.
