Our founding fathers weren’t perfect either.
But Sarah Palin confesses Christ. Personal ridicule is not Christ-like behavior. I imagine that she regretted saying it later, as the Holy Spirit would have spoken to her heart. As Christians, we have all experienced His conviction and chastening for unloving or unkind words/actions.
The other side will maliciously retalitate, no doubt about that.
“But Sarah Palin confesses Christ. Personal ridicule is not Christ-like behavior.”
Do you own and read a Bible? Christ specifically called the religious leaders of the time SNAKES/VIPERS and white-washed tombs. That was really, giving a slap in the face. Guess He wasn’t being very Christian? That what you’re saying?
You want to play marbles while the enemy plays Cheese?
There isn’t a Demonrat alive that haven’t uttered the made up quote attributed to Sara Palin of Seeing Russia from her front Door. Even though it was a line from a Saturday Night Live Skit with Tina Faye.
Your “noble” stance is the excuse we have heard from the likes of John McCain, Willard Romney, Mitch McConnell, John Bohner. That is also why the Republican continually get their asses kicked politically.
This is a WAR. Not a debate at the local Sisters of Sacred Heart coffee Club. You fight a war with every tool you have.
If it includes 5 second audio clips demeaning a TYRANT you use it. The left has been masterful of using it against the right for decades.
Did Jesus receive this feeling of guilt after referring to Herod as a fox?
> Personal ridicule is not Christ-like behavior.
It’s not ridicule, it’s an accurate observation. Remember that Christ wasn’t too kind to the moneychangers.
“Personal ridicule is not Christ-like behavior.”
13 “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter! 14
15 “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You sail the seas and cross whole countries to win one convert; and when you succeed, you make him twice as deserving of going to hell as you yourselves are!
16 “How terrible for you, blind guides! You teach, ‘If someone swears by the Temple, he isn’t bound by his vow; but if he swears by the gold in the Temple, he is bound.’ 17 Blind fools! Which is more important, the gold or the Temple which makes the gold holy? 18 You also teach, ‘If someone swears by the altar, he isn’t bound by his vow; but if he swears by the gift on the altar, he is bound.’ 19 How blind you are! Which is the more important, the gift or the altar which makes the gift holy? 20 So then, when a person swears by the altar, he is swearing by it and by all the gifts on it; 21 and when he swears by the Temple, he is swearing by it and by God, who lives there; 22 and when someone swears by heaven, he is swearing by God’s throne and by him who sits on it.
23 “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You give to God one tenth even of the seasoning herbs, such as mint, dill, and cumin, but you neglect to obey the really important teachings of the Law, such as justice and mercy and honesty. These you should practice, without neglecting the others. 24 Blind guides! You strain a fly out of your drink, but swallow a camel!
25 “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You clean the outside of your cup and plate, while the inside is full of what you have gotten by violence and selfishness. 26 Blind Pharisee! Clean what is inside the cup first, and then the outside will be clean too!
27 “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the outside but are full of bones and decaying corpses on the inside...etc, etc.
Matthew 23
Spare me.
The other side will maliciously retalitate, no doubt about that...
Gee, what do you think they might do...that hasn't been done already?
You gilded gentlemen need to sit down, shut up, and get out of the way of your betters.
Your type is the problem, not Palin.
