Hopefully one day he will join us on the really big issues such as Kim Davis.

Who?

One day hopefully his faith and the fruits of the Holy Spirit will be so evident that he will no longer need to insist to everyone that he is a Christian.

Sooooo.. not promoting this unknown Davis chick makes someone un-Christian?

Check yourself, Pastorini.

I notice for someone who is seemingly so soft spoken, you’re always remarkably quick to make snap judgments about people on here.

But perhaps that fault is also partially mine when I’m typing or speaking things quickly on my phone.

I can’t imagine, or find it hard to imagine there are many people here unfamiliar with the Rowan County, Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, who was only jailed for a time for being in contempt after refusing to issue “gay marriage licenses”.

But maybe you’re one of the few who is unfamiliar.

But the second part you chose to highlight didn’t have a thing to do with Kim Davis.

I don’t KNOW if Donald Trump is a committed, saved Christian or not. As a talk show host and former pastor here in Ohio has said, it’s hard to say that he is when judging by the fruits. Those fruits, most Christians point to Galatians 5:22-23 to find and identify.

Galatians 5:22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,”

Galatians 5:23 “Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”

Now, at times Donald Trump will perhaps show some of them. And we’re all works in progress without a doubt. And again I’ll say there are those who know him who say there’s a different private Donald Trump vs. the public Donald Trump.

But mainly what I was trying to point out is I’ve read over and over again Donald Trump making a big deal about carrying a bible, and carrying pictures of him as a kid in church and saying over and over again, “People are surprised and don’t believe that I’m a Christian.”

Well if people are surprised and don’t believe he’s a Christian, there has to be a reason for that. Some of it could be ignorance of who Donald Trump is and what he believes. Some of it could be his own mouth getting in the way when he attacks someone, even if it is a “counter punch”.

All I was saying is that if there ever comes a time in which people can look at Donald Trump and KNOW that he is a Christian, because it would be evident in his demeanor, mannerisms, and so forth THAT would be something to cheer.
