Jesus gave no quarter to the pretentious, hypocritical Pharisees and Saducees. He wasn’t impressed with worldly politicians either. Same with John the Baptist for that matter. People like to pick and choose their scriptures to make their points. You can find references to support either side on this. Yes, he’s a little unorthodox. That’s okay.

If Trump starts worrying about being Mr. Nice Guy to the people who want to destroy him, he’ll just be another RINO. And we won’t have Trump anymore. We’ll end up with a Rat president.

Whenever Democrats lose they immediately want the Republicans to make nice and reach across the isle and apologize for wining, something the Democrats never do. Democrats are liars liars liars and have made his and ours miserable for about 4 years. They lost, we won . They can go f**k themselves. I like the retribution and actually making people pay for their gross misdeeds. Put them all in jail. I hope the Vindmans gets reassigned to Greenland.

Forgiveness is a process, not a one-time event. Further, it takes time. I think Trump acted quite properly given the events earlier in the week. Forgiveness may come, if it does come, later.

I haven’t “bitten into” anything. It’s factually true.

For 68 years the National Prayer Breakfast has been a political oasis, a chance for Republicans, Democrats, national and world leaders to assemble and pray for each other and the nation.

Nonsense.

The National Prayer Breakfast has been a place for one side to take pot shots at the other since I was a kid.

Cal did you live though the same decades I did or did you spend them in a drug or alcohol fueled haze?

We never won with Cal in the past and we will never win with Cal in the future. Cal is left behind.

Wow!

Of course is just opinion, but Cal Thomas demonstrates yet again, he really does not hold to, or defend the Gospel message of salvation in Christ alone, and views everything through an ever mushy to leftward drifting political lense.

The “National Prayer Breakfast” has for years been spiraling toward nothing more than a venue for every cult or religion, and a venue for every anti-Christ elitest power politician who gets themselves invited to attend. It has become about “look who I am”, and cloaking truly evil people, in the name of what is also becoming a polytheistic veiw of “religion”. As such, it is a venue where the view of the gospel of Christ, and a Creator God authority is reduced to any other manmade ecumenical religion, cult, or morally “learned” persuasion.

It has also turned into a highly political globalist and socialist attended event. Many “liberation theology/woke” types there.

The true Gospel is simply “trodden under the foot of” polyreligious men just acting out.

Doctrinally fundamental Christian leaders have been either “not invited”, “uninvited”, or “disinvited” for years.

Even Franklin Graham was “dis-invited” to the NPB, because he painted Islam in a “bad light”, and the Obama Administration had Franklin Graham’s invitation to the NPB removed.

Obama used the NPB to literally attack “Christianity”, and Christian political opponents. And the mass media loved it!

As well, the NPB has to a degree become a corporatist/lobbyist venue, where lobbyist have really been getting involved. After all, it’s where to go to meet power brokers and politicians.

The NPB really has become a haunt for every man-made religion or cult, almost except true Christianity.

It’s a political venue, where men go to show how good and wonderful they are compared to others. It’s nothing more than an ecumenical polytheistic political club.

If you are a leader, who really holds to the Judeo-Christian God of the Bible, (which was “corporately” the core belief system impacting and guiding the birth and American Constitutional Republic and of liberty), you may increasingly not be welcome.

Jesus said in John 10, He was the “door” to His Father in Heaven, and if *anyone tried to get to His Father in Heaven any other way, that person was/is “a thief and a robber”, meaning any such person was really trying to get into heaven by their own beliefs and “good works”, while rejecting God’s love and the sacrifice of His only son Jesus Christ.

Jesus went on (John 10) to carefully describe how those (sheep) who belong to Him, will know Him and not follow any other. Then, Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me.” (John 14:6)

And of course writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul writes “There is salvation in no one else;
for there is no other name under heaven, given among men (or mankind), whereby we mist be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

Again, Paul, not writing under his own hand, but by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, in his first letter to Tomothy wrote — “Now the Spirit [Holy Spirit] expressly says, that in the latter times [near the time of His return], some will depart from the faith, giving head to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.” (I Timothy 4:1)

Unfortunately, the “national prayer breakfast” is an ecumenical, near anti-Christ event.

When you have the likes of Pelosi or Clinton, who have been involved with actual covens, and who demand adherence to socialism, (which is rooted in Humanist Manifesto’s I & II), and many others who demand infanticide, being prominently seated and speaking at such an event, it’s simply not a Christian event, and has turned into a lefty political pep rally.

All things considered, I believe President Trump actually attended specifically to speak out against the real evil and hypocracy which he knew was right there in front of him!

If I am right, AWESOME!

In all honesty, Great Job Mr. President!

Those people need to feel a lot more than discomfort...

“...socialism, (which is [PRINCIPLY described and] rooted in Humanist Manifesto’s I & II)”

And I apologize for the other mistakes made from my phone.
