One thing is for sure, and this applies to most conservatives, if they want to be taken seriously when they bellow out the "Do not judge!" verse against anyone who mentions Trump's sin, then be morally consistent and stop casting stones at Democrats for their sinful behavior. (that's not meant for you)
I did lovingly advise fellow Christians I know to be careful in their criticism of Obama’s family and faith. We can criticize I believe the policies without making it personal.
I also mentioned maybe here or on another thread the hypocrisy of our media in lauding politicians who move from a pro life stance to a pro choice stance (Eg Al Gore and some GOP candidates). Calling them enlightened and finally coming to terms. But when a GOP candidate changes from pro choice to a pro life stance somehow that is pandering.
Again that is the observation of the media elites (not you).
I am constantly reminded in a lot of these threads what I would be like today without the Grace of God. I have many “scars” from my past transgressions and am totally indebted to Christ for not only Him bringing me out of them but carrying them as far as the East is from the West. I also know the new creation He made me in is not according to any righteousness that I have done but is based entirely on the obedience and Righteousness of Christ Jesus.
So when it comes with Trump or any other politician, my hope is they either have or will have the same Hope that I have of Christ as my sure and steady anchor.
Hating someone, which is what I see here and at many other places, is not an attribute of a Christian. And I mean there is rage here at times.
Your list of grievances against Trump will serve you well when you hit the polls in November 2020. But you judging other Christians based on your list is the very definition of you making a litmus test for other Christians based on your own righteousness.
Where are you on abortion threads admonishing liberal Christians for supporting candidates who espouse no limits or even supporting abortion. Don’t see you doing this. Instead you speak of Trump as not really being pro life even though he has accomplished more than any other GOP president since Reagan.
When confronted with murdering innocent blood which is what abortion is in over 98% of all procured, you bet I’m going to vote for a candidate who is not hostile to human beings in the womb.
And for those who want to ask “is this your only issue?” My answer is it is my very first issue and moderate Democratic candidates better be listening. I used to vote split ticket when there were Democrats who held pro life positions. They are all gone.
So I get it. You don’t like Trump because he is a big meanie and tells people off. That must be your first and most important issue in voting. You have every right to do so. Just as I have every right to vote against murder in the womb. Difference is I am not here daily preaching and smugly admonishing other Christians who hold other positions as primary to murder.
