(I’m not singling you out, Anitius. I’m only replying to you because you;re the first to express this- yet again.)
Your post- & the many like it, reminds me of the Scripture ‘’those who have ears. let them hear…because hearing, they do not hear & seeing, they do not see’’.
Y’all acknowledge that Trump is saying what needs to be said- & most of us know that, if elected, Trump WILL DO everything in his power (which is a lot, btw- & i don’t mean ‘’pen & a phone’’, like 0bama)…
And yet you turn right around & say that you will cast your vote for a man who not only will not say the kinds of things Trump says, but has actually *done the opposite* of what both Trump says *& what [your candidate] has himself said*.
It comes out of *your own mouths* & yet you don’t follow it.
I am going back to lurk now- & eventually, not even that. This is sickening & it hurts my relationship with the Lord (of course, it is NOT Him, but I am barely praying & haven’t been to church in weeks, now. I know you don’t mean to, but you discredit the Word of God.) to see people who profess to be Christians engaging in such behavior.
You are what I am terming a binary voter. Your behavior borders on insane.
If you support Trump, then the way you behave is this:
Trump is in the ‘on’ position, therefore nothing he says or does can be criticized by me or I am not supporting him. When someone says or does anything that does not support Trump 100%, then they are his enemy.
Since Trump is in the ‘on’ position, then all other candidates are in the ‘off’ position. Therefore, I can say or do nothing that is supportive of other candidates. Anyone who says or does anything that is supportive of other candidates are my candidate’s enemy.
So let me clarify this for you. I do not support Trump in his views on the second amendment. I do not support Trump in some of his views on taxes. I do not support Trump on some of his trade issues. I do not think Trump will be as effective in some areas that I do agree with him as Ted Cruz would be.
I do support Trumps views of immigration. I do support Trumps destruction of the media and the political elite.
Those areas of support do not mean he has my support in the primaries. I support and agree with Ted Cruz on more issues and have more faith in his ability to advance the conservative agenda.
I can support different aspects of different candidates and yet still support the candidate of my choice. I have free will and I will exercise it using the intelligence and discernment that the Lord has given me.
I will not be talked down to from a moralistic simpleton who using his flawed understanding of scripture to denigrate and bludgeon people who disagree with him.
For you to attack me for “discredit(ing) the Word of God” is a huge affront to me.
