TFT you are an excellent Calvinist. I shan't convince you. Nor need I. Let's watch together as the number of evangelicals shrinks away. And we needn't fret about it as Elijah did. It's all God's plan. My mind's at rest now. Thanks.
Guessing you aren’t familiar with the biblical accounts I mention. Don’t fret…
Good grief. You keep missing the point. It is certainly not all and only about Trump. There are many other factors. None the less, Trump, (or more accurately, the way evangelicals have accepted Trump in exchange for his help), is in fact, one of the major causes. And it's not a matter of what I believe. It is what I and many others observe. Could we be wrong? Possibly. But I'm willing to let the evidence grow until we no longer argue about it. My concern is that Christians tied to what they seek to gain from Trump may very well lose far more than they gain. And, no, Trump did not cause the decline of evangelical Christianity in Europe. That was obviously due to many other factors and it was obtuse to assume that was part of what I was saying.
Then he was afraid, and he arose and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
Both Democrats and Republicans are shameless. But Dems do not promote a sham Christianity that tarnishes the Gospel presentation so badly that it is sad. Evangelicals have ordained Trump as their new messiah .
Jimmy Carter, Joe Biden the Catholic…there’s much awfulness out there on the liberal side… they want liberation from earthly and heavenly laws… the lawlessness of the last days written of in Scripture
There can't be any such thing as a "Godly" nation in this fallen world. Roger Williams explained the problem 'way back in the mid 1600s.
Jimmy Carter to Joe? How about the Clinton and Bush era. Certainly nothing to be proud of. But evangelicals have never glommed on to such an anti-character as Trump and even now they don’t want to let go. Where there should be tremendous shame and compunction there is only blindness.
Everyone here so very opposed to Trump do not list his sins
I should add the Romans passage… overcome evil with good.
You've been sold a bill of goods. However much you disagree with both Carter and Biden, they both were motivated by their faith. In contrast to Trump who makes no secret of his earthly immoral nature. While both Carter and Biden irritated conservatives in their own way, they also inspired many others to look into their faith. Carter worked in Habitat for Humanity. Biden carried and prayed a rosary every day. Bush promoted Head Start and No Child Left Behind and sought to aid Africa against HIV. Trump shilled his 'special' Bibles to make money off of suckers. It's no wonder today's young adults want nothing to do with the Evangelicals.
