When you consider all his comments together, it doesn't sound like he's ever actually read the bible in his entire life. Does it?
Trump admits he hates to read, but rather prefers sound bite summations. Time is money.
Friend , you were quite clear in your first post .. Your thoughts and perspectives are as appreciated as any other poster .. We have something in America called "political correctness" that seems at times to take precedent over free speech and truth .. These forum are full of "PC police" who will call you out like they belong to the "clique in high school" .. Just relax , post your thoughts and enjoy . You are free and owe no one .. God bless ..
I'll take that as a "yes" answer to my question.
No. You are chasing shadows that do not exist.
I asked you a yes/no question, and you posted a paragraph in response that amounted to a "yes" answer.
So, after the latest revelation is it time for Donald to bow out? Why or why not? Please let's be adults about this; no polemics which is the reason I posted this here instead of News and Curent Events. Just state your reason for or against based on what you feel fairly certain to be true.
Uh, please requote the exact words I said that would make you believe I answered "yes."
That would be a little more helpful than just claiming I said "yes" when I clearly didn't.
...
Personally...I believe he should bow out. His behavior is disgraceful and certainly not Christian. Frankly, I also believe that if a person feels that neither candidate is worthy of the job, then they should vote for someone else or not vote at all.
Simply look at the question in post 536 and then your answer in 542. You basically answered "yes" to what I was asking you.
It apparently was an interview Trump had with Billy Bush. Whether this hot microphone is before or after the actual recorded interview I don't know.
It's telling about the Network that kept the audio, that body of persons that chose to keep the microphone on and record the conversations without Trump's knowledge. And what is seemingly missed is that if Trump is said to need to depart the campaign trail for his remarks, then Billy Bush, who hosts a Hollywood TV show with women, should resign his job instead of apologizing as he's doing now. As is Trump.
Because Bush can be heard yucking it up as Trump talks. And even add's his own remarks to Trump's narrative as he goads him on.
Something I think we Christians need to remember is this is a secret audio recording that was sneakily recorded by a Network and its employees. That's dishonest. And it is 11 years old!
When Donald Trump came to Christ all of his past sins were put under the blood of Jesus. And God remembers his sins no more. Being this is an 11 year old audio, we have to consider when Trump came to Christ , which was not that long ago from what I've found so far. (Article) And realize that that Donald on the tape is not the born again Donald running for office today.
This is a Clinton move! Dirty politics. What was she and her husband doing 11 years ago?
She's a self-professed Christian. Do her actions demonstrate that? Especially in the case of the illegal server and 33,000 emails she had destroyed by her attorneys.
Where's the Christian charity for one of our own in both camps really. But with Trump, all the dirt on him is old. All the dirt on Hillary is recent. Trump is what they call a baby Christian. Hillary's not.
Choose wisely my friends as to whom you'll cast the first stone toward.
OK, thank you!Actually, it's like breath of freedom to me here in USA. So maybe I;m too emotional here, sorry if so. In Kazakhstan, I would never write or say my honest thoughts. Filtering always. Even when talking to my 80yo mom by phone, she allows some critisism (you know, at that age, secret police will forgive many things they will not really put her on black list or harass just for words you know) if she speaks critically then I will be silent and change conversation subject. Scared!!! We live under strict dictatorship, our president is like god... Internet cencored. You say wrong thing, can go to jail or worse... Or get troubles in your work etc now or later... Maybe not, but anyway really scared. Only say praise about president... Government, you can critisize a little, not him.
About Qaddafi and Osama, very different situations... Leader of a country and some awful nutjob... Consequences are very different. So its not only laughing thats bad, but people see these events under very differnt light outside USA. Not so happy, you know. Thats why her laughing is so demonic... Because you want to cry!!!!! For all of Lybia and all of that region...
I voted no.
Donald Trump is a representation of republicanism in the USA. He's their nominee because he reflects their thoughts and values.
otoh, it is long past time for people who identify as Christian to stop being Republicans and START being the church.
No I didn't. I said she talked to people by name. That was not information from an ear piece. That information was given out openly to her.
...
When did I say she said anything from an ear piece???
You had mentioned a bunch of things Trump has said that you didn't like and you didn't like the way he said them. In response, I asked you, "What if he said the same things as usual, but used more polished, politically correct sounding ways of saying them, and did it calmly from a teleprompter?" To that, you replied telling me how Hillary pretty much did those things. So, in short, the answer was pretty much a "YES".
I love you as both a brother and a Christian , we all have different perspectives based hopefully on our access and application of information to judge rightly .. Hang in there and fight the good fight .. I just finished a short prayer for you and your peace in Jesus to grow and continue .. God bless .. We'll all meet at the Resurrection and trouble free for eternity .. Now there's some hope right there .. Your faithfulness in the face of what you endure will probably garner you the greater reward , I'm all for it and gladly take a back seat to those who earned it more with their situations and faith in Jesus ..
A secret ear piece would be the same as a hidden Teleprompter. Where was this Teleprompter? Do you have proof of it's existence? And what else do you think I could possibly say that gave you the impression that I said "yes" to your question. I am telling you now that my answer is a big..."NO" to your question. That is my answer (even despite your false claim that I said "yes").
...
Both candidates are horrible choices.
Here is the breakdown:
Trump:
1. Degrades and Disrespects Women, Blacks, Hispanics, the Non-Rich, etc. (Why do you think he is going to respect and help you?)
2. Angry (Who shouldn't be near any nuclear codes) (It would be like drinking and driving) (In other words, can you say "End of our Nation"?)
3. Disregards the Law and Taxes (Trump said he could shoot someone and not lose any voters) (Trump said he is smart for not paying taxes) (Said Hillary would be in jail if he was in office - This ignores everything about our justice system).
4. Makes Ridiculuous Statements That Are Everyone Knows is Not True (This just speaks about the dumbing down of America).
5. He is a Bully (This sets forth a bad example for our children).
Hillary:
1. Is in support of going outside of God's intended plan according to Matthew 19:4-6.
2. Is in support of abortion (the murder of innocent babies who are still alive within the womb) and wants to make it tax paid by all.
3. Has a potential shadow of claimed criminal activities trailing behind her (Whether it is all true or not is a matter of a court of law and actual evidence that is not circumstantial convicting her). People today just make assumptions and assume she is guilty. But if she really was guilty, and somebody had evidence to convict her, then she would be in jail. Again, a person is innocent in this country until proven guilty by a court of law. Yes, she made a mistake in handling of top secret files, but no secrets were compromised as a result of it. She admitted it was a mistake. This is dropping the ball in handling a US law. This was not like she murdered somebody and then tried to have it covered up. As for her husband, again, we need evidence and not people just claiming things. Sure, it could be true, but we just don't know for sure. We were not there. We cannot convict someone without evidence. For what would happen if a bunch of people claimed you raped somebody and yet you did not do it? Granted, I am not saying Bill is innocent. I am just saying that we do not know if he is guilty or innocent based on the evidence presented before us. But yes, things like the problem with their dealings with the Haiti people does not help the Clintons look good (by any means). So we see a pattern of potential claimed crimes. But again, we cannot convict people without cold hard evidence.
Anyways, in conclusion: With both candidates we will have a moral decline here in America. Things are not looking good for our country. But I see an end for our nation if Trump were to get into office and I see my stomach turn knowing that my money would go to pay for babies to murdered (Whether I like it or not) with Hillary (Whereby I will have to pray and fast for God to deliver me out of such a thing).
But if Trump was elected, I would not even think he was President. He doesn't seem like President material in any way. He is not somebody you can even look at and respect so as to talk to the man normally. He is a type of person who looks past the little guy like us (Because he recognizes only the rich man or if you are a pretty woman). I could at least talk and respect Hillary to some degree and consider her President (even if I do not agree with all her moral choices). For she is a product of society and how this nation desires to be. She is of the world system. Most people who are not Christian think like her; And we have to pray and love people like her so as to lead them to Christ.
But would I ever vote for either of them (under any circumstance)?
Not a chance....
Neither. That's my point. Don't vote for either and just concentrate on the down ticket votes.Trump apologized.
Hillary denied.
Which one took the high ground?
What makes you think he'll select judges who have conservative interests at heart? He hasn't shown himself to be a Christian at all! He's only out for himself!See Post #455 (the post above yours).
Anyways, may God bless you this fine day.

The thing is that he is not apologizing for what he said 11 years ago. He called it locker room talk. That is not an apology.
The 2005 recording showed Trump making vulgar comments about women, including boasting about trying to sleep with a married woman and remarking that he could "grab" women "by the ****" because "when you're a star they let you do it."
Cooper didn't mince words while characterizing the recording. Cooper said to Trump,
"You described kissing women without consent, grabbing their genitals,"
Cooper continued. "That is sexual assault. You bragged that you have sexually assaulted women. Do you understand that?"
Trump was defiant. He didn't apologize or explain himself. He said it was locker room talk. As if that makes it okay....
As a teenager, I worked in a factory for a year and a half. I was shocked at the way people talked, and the women talked in as bad or worse way than the men!Agreed 100%.
I am a Christian and I do not use that kind of language. However, I have been in hundreds of locker rooms and fought in war in VietNam and what he said is nothing to what is said everywhere everyday.
