Such a concept as "transgendered""woman" may well have been beyond the imagination much less the comprehension of St. Paul, but was well within the imagination and knowledge of Him Who used St. Paul as His scribe.
Pastor, it is indeed true that a candidate may be wrong in some places but right in others. Nonetheless, each of us is responsible for weighing the pertinent factors before casting a morally informed vote.
Note also the recent deviation as to Trump wanting to change the GOP platform to accommodate abortion based on what is euphemistically called "the health of the mother." This phrase has a verrrrry disreputable history in abortion law. BEFORE Roe vs. Wade or anything like it was handed down, in my home state of Connecticut which had a somewhat dominant and still religiously conservative Catholic majority, those lusting to allow the murder of babies used this phrase relentlessly.
It became a loophole through which the disciples of Margaret Sanger could bring about tractor trailer loads of dead babies, each and every killing "legal under the loophole. The language was promoted by the "World Health Organization," a gang of the usual UN suspects, which invented a new "doctors' oath" to replace the traditional Hippocratic Oath by which physicians had sworn not to perform, counsel or facilitate abortions or become sexually involved with patients. The WHO "oath" is modernly silent on such matters. No sense letting morality get in the way of amoral utilitarianism. It turns doctors into mere technicians rather than professionals and healers.
By about 65 years ago, by the adoption of the World Health Organization "doctors' oath, the doctors of allegedly Judaeo-Christian Western Civilization eagerly dove below the moral standards of an admittedly moral ancient pagan Hippocrates.
Charitably speaking, perhaps Trump is merely ignorant. He has obviously not a passing acquaintance with either the pro-life movement or other aspects of social conservatism. He does not know the words. He does not know the music. He does not hold the principles. He does not even care to spend a little time to learn how to competently address these issues to social conservatives. Will he improve if or when he is sworn in as POTUS or can we look forward to a series of "whoopsies" not only on policy but as appointments to the SCOTUS and other federal courts in the mold of John Paul Stevens, David Souter, William Brennan, Herod Blackmun, "Republican appointments one and all?
You and I are in disagreement on this POTUS nomination but my respect for you will ever be undiminished.
May God continue to bless you and yours!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment but my transcript of Trumph’s latest speech (and all his prior policy staements) shows Trump saying, “no not health of the Mother I would leave it as life of the mother.” Do you have some additional info? I agree there is a chasm of difference.
