"I refuse to be intimidated by anti-religious groups into relinquishing my spirituality or religious beliefs. One of the principles of our nation‘s founding is freedom of religion. I will not stop being a Christian while in service to this country, in fact, it is my faith that helps me serve the nation even better."

Even Hillary attended a congressional Bible study when she was in the senate. These atheists are idiots.

I spent some time in DoD reviewing FOIA requests for a group of offices.

I can only remember one or two where an individual was trying to find information pertinent to their life or situation.

The rest were all fishing expeditions by lawyers or groups of lawyers to drum up business or back a claim. Not one of them was an actual worthwhile investigation.

And the lawyers paid the same price as the single individuals, so these guys can go pound sand. They got what they asked for but it wasn’t what they wanted.

If it was the Koran instead of the Bible, the attackers would swiftly be accused of Islamaphobia.

"...Jeff Sessions, CIA Director Mike Pompeo, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Energy Secretary Rick Perry..."

Can you believe it? People actually praying and reading the Bible - in the White House, no less - what a bunch of rubes and knuckle-draggers these Repubs are....

“documents is likely to cast the agency or HUD Secretary Ben Carson in a negative light.”

So being a Christian and attending bible study is a negative. Strange world.

Democrats have an issue with Christians.

I won’t stop believing in God because athiests and secularists have a cow about it.

I suspect there were White House Bible studies in the early days of this republic, and nobody was upset by them.

Bible Studies Held at the White House for First Time in 100 Years: 'These are Godly Individuals'

If the above title is correct, then they USED TO BE HELD before they stopped a hundred years ago.

A snippet. Americans do not know our history.

“From Jefferson through Abraham Lincoln, many presidents attended church at the Capitol; and it was common practice for Members of Congress to attend those services. For example, in his diary entry of January 9, 1803, Congressman Cutler noted: “Attended in the morning at the Capitol. . . . Very full assembly. Many of the Members present.” 16 The church was often full “so crowded, in fact, one attendee reported that since “the floor of the House offered insufficient space, the platform behind the Speaker’s chair, and every spot where a chair could be wedged in” was filled. 17 U. S. Representative John Quincy Adams (although noting that occasionally the “House was full, but not crowded” 18) also commented numerous times on the overly-crowded conditions at the Capitol church. In his diary entry for “February 28, 1841, he noted: “I rode with my wife, Elizabeth C. Adams, and Mary, to the Capitol, where the Hall of the House of Representatives was so excessively crowded that it was with extreme difficulty that we were enabled to obtain seats.” 19 Why did so many Members attend Divine service in the Hall of the House? Adams explained why he attended: “I consider it as one of my public duties- as a representative of the people- to give my attendance every Sunday morning when Divine service is performed in the Hall.” 20

Seventh Day Adventism is a law-based, works-based salvation - it rejects eternal life as a ‘free gift’ of God but make it dependent on one’s ability to do-it-yourself.

Sorry Ben, but at the Great White Throne judgement you will sadly discover that you are not a Christian unless you repent and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your ONLY hope of heaven apart from your own human attempts at righteousness . . .

“But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” (Philippians 3:7-9).

Hey, let’s hope and pray that the Bible Study will do him some good.
