Not a rational thought in this whole infantile hysteric hate based rant
The ones who are the fools are the bitter Never Trumpers and Neo Pharisees pushing this ignorant nonsense
Romans 3:23 New International Version (NIV)
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Is Trump perfect? No, far far from it but then SO TOO are these bombastic poser using their pompous religiosity as an excuse to condemn him politically
Most of the Left anti God agenda has not been legislative, it been imposed by Courts. Most notable, Abortion and Gay Marriage.
On Judges alone Trump has done a better job of protecting Christians then the last 4 Presidents combined
Why are we still being assailed by authors whose TDS informs their opinions & their writings?
Galatians 5:19-23 New International Version (NIV)
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
David was such a flawed leader, anyone who thinks well of him is a fool. We should throw out the whole Book of Psalms, just to be sure we have gotten rid of the ones he wrote. How could anyone think G-d could use such a terrible human being! Thank goodness we moderns are smarter than that. /sarc
Did not read. Just thought I’d let you know.
It a binary poltical system. It is either Trump or the Democrat. The Democrat's radical secular agenda with it hyper advocacy for both Homosexuality and Abortion are not Christian values Chris "Neo Pharisee" Thurman. You are so blinded by your ignorant infantile hate of Trump you do not see just how willingly a tool of evil you are becoming.
Gideon was not perpetually righteous. Neither was David. Neither was Jehu. Neither was Peter, who lead the western church, nor Thomas, who took the gospel to Iraq and India. Neither was Charles Martel, nor Richard the Lion-Heart, nor Takayama Ukon.
Trump is God’s warrior-leader for this time. I stand with Trump. In hoc signo vinces!
I didn’t vote for a saint, I voted for someone to make America great again.
As I said during 2016:
Trump is not a Perfect Man.
Jesus is not on the ballot, so none of the candidates is perfect.
The ONLY relevant question is: WHICH of the candidates actually running is likely to advance an agenda which would please me more than the rest of the candidates?
Trump, for all his faults, is getting more positive work done, particularly with the judiciary, than any of the alternatives.
Lol. A psychologist. And thus the personification of true evil.
“Chris Thurman, Ph.D., is a psychologist and author of The Lies We Believe.” and a simpleton who cannot understand the difference between right and wrong.
He loves his country, he loves those who love their country too, he loves children, he loves his family, he loves dogs... he doesn't throw ashtrays in anger, doesn't treat servants or guards or military like they are inferior, and in spite of his power he has demonstrated amazing forbearance/self control with regard to using any of it against his many enemies, all of whom are the 'right' enemies.
Go to the Beatitudes (poor in spirit, meek, mournful, thirsting for righteousness, merciful, pure of heart, a peacemaker, persecuted for righteousness sake). Do any of the these apply to Trump?
Yes, actually they do, especially the persecution part, which is largely because he has stood against abortion...and the peaceful part in that he has not launched an unprovoked attack on Kosovo or Libya.
Can the author say the same about himself regarding unprovoked attacks?
Go to the Ten Commandments (no other gods before God, no graven images/no worshipping them, don’t use God’s name in vain, remember the Sabbath, honor your father and mother, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness against your neighbor, and do not covet you neighbor’s house, wife, servants, or anything that belongs to him or her). Has Trump spent his life trying to obey these commandments or regularly breaking them with no sign of godly sorrow that leads to repentance? I think Brown and all those who support Trump know the answer to these questions but are simply unwilling to admit it.
I've seen no evidence that the author or anyone else out there save Jesus Christ has done a better job or a worse one than Trump when it comes to the commandments. Go ahead, try throwing that first stone if you are so righteous, Trump is not running against Christ in 2020, he's running against people who act demonically, willing to dismember children for sale in the marketplace, for crying out loud.
God raised up King Cyrus as an ANNOINTED KING. Even though he was not Jewish. Clearly, God can use President Trump to support his people.
Right, go with the pedos and the rest of the perverts instead.
Who else were we to support?
The baby killing democrat candidate?
I am going to try and post on this guys article, but I will post here first for my FP family.
Self-control - President Trump does not smoke or drink.
Love - I see self evident, and proclaimed love for his children, for veterans, for first responders.
Forbearance- Iran still exist although President Trump had forces in the air and sea ready to destroy it.
Joy- Really, have you actually seen Trump speak at a rally?
Kindness - How about asking the 3 falsely imprisoned vets Trump just pardoned? How about asking the people released under the First Step Act?
I could go on about peacemaker, generous, and others, but the real point is your fallacious statement “Remember, I’m not talking about the good things he has done.”
Everyone on the face of the earth can only be judged by what they do. Only God knows if they have a positive character trait, if they are doing it from positive motives. Mr. Thurman, why did you write this article and what positive motive did you have? Or are you just shilling for the Democrat nominee?
This Thurman is wrong, as he says at the end. What a load of my tag line.
“ Evangelicals who support Trump (defined in my op-ed as those who “continue to hold Trump up as a great leader, say he is God’s chosen one for the presidency, applaud his appalling words and actions, ignore his glaring moral defects, and enable his dangerous presidency to continue by giving him their time, talents, and treasure”) are being foolish and being played for fools by Trump and his sycophants.”
Mathew 5:22 comes to mind.
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
>>>in spite of the fact that he is a deeply mentally and morally disturbed person<<<
Opinions are opinions and facts are facts. The Author seems to lack that understanding.
Fact based opinions are lacking when it comes to the Left.
