Then do you believe Trump? He's been caught on camera lying several times.

LOL. He lies so much and often that wapo came up with a new category for him.

So at what point do you believe it is okay to use "discernment"?

Possibly you mean that I might not need evidence in the case of Donald, and that I can use discernment.

As well as I can, I do, prayerfully. But I might not share what I am getting, publicly. This can be partly because I myself can be wrong and not know it.

And in talking about what the news is saying about things, I don't know who or what is reliable. And I suspect that people tend to believe whoever gives info supporting their view and candidate.

So, I have listened to what candidates have said, speaking for themselves. And I have not voted for someone who is ok with killing unborn people, and I have not voted for someone who could talk down on pretty much any and all people who do not support that person.

Romans 13 clearly says not to disrespect ones in authority; so I expect a candidate to be humble by not badmouthing and disrespecting people. And the archangel did not dare to bring railing accusations against even Satan. So, I understand I need to be careful about how I view and talk about anyone.

And I don't expect people of this world to do what is right. The Bible says not to trust in men. So, I pray for God to do what He pleases. He is succeeding in doing whatsoever He is committed to This is part of what we mean when we say Jesus is the Lord of all.

Well, I might not have been informed enough of facts to know about certain lies.

But he did make a project of saying Barack had no birth certificate, and this apparently turned out not to be true, and I do not know of Donald making a point of pointing out how he was wrong.

And he said thousands of Palestinians danced with joy on rooftops in New Jersey, after 9/11 . . . when the news had shown many in Palestine so celebrating. He did not openly and obviously publicly correct himself about this, that I know of.

And we have >

"No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier." (2 Timothy 2:4)

So, I understand my attention needs to first be to God and what He is doing. And I need to not tangle myself with trying to figure out what worldly people are doing. I might not be getting reliable stuff from any of the sources. When two have a disagreement, both can be wrong, in which case there is not way you can prove that either one is right !

Oh gracious, those are just a couple of the abundance of lies Trump has told. The birther stuff about Obama was just especially nasty & dumb, tho a lot of his tales are.

Lol & smh. To tell you the truth, I wish they'd stop dressing anything up. Just call it what it is, a lie. Lying 20+ times about the same thing is the act of an unrepentant liar.

Donald didn't merely say that thousands danced on the rooftops, he insisted that he saw it with his own eyes.

"I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down," the Republican presidential candidate said at a Nov. 21 rally in Birmingham, Ala. "And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering."

..."It was on television. I saw it," Trump said. "It was well covered at the time, George. Now, I know they don't like to talk about it, but it was well covered at the time. There were people over in New Jersey that were watching it, a heavy Arab population, that were cheering as the buildings came down. Not good."

I also enjoy "it was not clear what Trump meant" : https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...lear-what-trump-meant/?utm_term=.0b0eb2a85c04

I'm putting this here but it might blow up to where it needs it's own thread, depending on if this is Trump related or not.
