The hell you say. What you have done to your BROTHERS right on this thread is unconscionable, and not uncommon since you have ventured into this subject. Read your own damn words and see how much projecting is going on.

Like I said, I AM DONE.
@Quix  and @the_doc  both.

Call me when all this crap finally resolves and maybe we can reconcile somehow. Otherwise, Leave me the hell alone.

It is a fascinating tactic being used here, when Christians condemn other Christians for not agreeing that morality and integrity no longer matter in our leaders, for not changing standards that any Bible believing Christian believed wholeheartedly before now.

I am in the group whose integrity is being questioned BY CHRISTIANS because I still believe in integrity.

And we wonder why the country is in such a mess....   **nononono*

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

We're condemning the suffocating sanctimony.  We're sick and damned tired of the virtue signaling...suggesting that your rigidness is solid ground...a hill worth dying upon.

...all because you cannot force yourself to admit that we're so GD lucky to have this man guiding/leading the nation.

A lot of us have...and that's what I think riles some of us here the most when we get branded as closet democrats...Hillary supporters and worse.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

No.

When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards.

I guess they would have to disagree with Billy Graham also.  He touches on that here:

https://billygraham.org/decision-magazine/june-2012/confusing-evil-with-good/

I am not concerned with Trumps past.  It was his lying on the campaign.  His lying about about the Cruz family making that story about Cruz and the women when it was him and the women.  The paying of hush money to keep secrets about who he is.  I don't think any of that was miraculous.

And it is now.  Depending on all of his past corrupt buddies to be his lawyers and people in his administration.  He isn't honest.  Well Manafort was convicted and Trump has to tweet about the good man he is.  All he is doing is sending a message to the corrupt government that bank fraud and inside trading isn't bad.  And there have been several politicians guilty and yes, many of them have been Democrats.  I posted a long list of crimes of politicians.  Trump was supposed to drain the swamp but he defends it.  That isn't God.

And you just put your finger on why they hate him. If not the Pope,maybe Jimmy Swaggart or Pat Robertson. Like Muslims wanting to live in Muslim nations under Islamic Law,they want to live in a Christian Nation ruled by Christian dictates.

Which means individual freedoms are the last thing they want. What they want is obedience.
Okay swami. I'm thinking of a number between zero and the national debt. What is it? I just want to see how good you really are at mind reading, because you're doing one hell of a lot of it here.

I have had good things to say about the good things Trump has done.

But I am not under the illusion that he is any Saint, or the "anointed of God", but rather a human who puts his pants on from the big end like everyone else. It is no less annoying for people to whip  out the worship bit on Trump than it was to have pictures of Obama with a halo. All bullshit to me.

We'll see what he gets done. Like every POTUS, his final grades will be in retrospect. Still, keep it legal, Constitutional, and hang those Communist bastards, after a fair trial, of course.

Not one word you said here has even a modicum of truth in it.

Virtue is not "virtue signaling."  Expecting integrity of our leaders is not "sanctimony."

You're not sick of what we're actually doing.  You're just regurgitating the false accusation you've been making for more than two years.

Eventually, God willing, you'll get tired of it......

Fitting skepticism is one thing.

Haughty, hostile, prissy, Pharisaical self-righteous-fierce-judgmentalism because another Christian doesn't meet your criteria of righteousness is something different.

It is enough for me that he has been under a high quality discipleship mentoring program for 10 years or so. And, I've seen his humility deepen even just in the last year or so.


Uhhhh,

1. Mark Taylor began having prophetic things from The Lord about Trump a year or 2 before Trump ran. Kim Clement had similar messages from God several years before Trump ran. There is a smattering of other folks who had prophetic msgs from God about Trump's Presidency as many as 5, 10, 20 or more years ago.

The Bible says let a matter be established by 2-3 witnesses, IIRC.

I don't claim that Trump has been flawless in his public speaking etc. However, even on the issue of honesty--imho, he's several hundred percent more honest than the others in his role during my lifetime. Reagan might have been an exception, most of the time. Yet, Reagan was a globalist stooge, too. Not very honest, that.

Y'all seem to have assumed that your criteria of righteousness as you apply it to Trump is identical to God's criteria for Trump at this time. I don't see it that way.

I actually think you are more vulnerable to judgment from God for working against His anointing of Trump than Trump is vulnerable to judgment about his sloppy speaking habits.

I've never known a President to be so meticulous about keeping his campaign promises. No one else comes close. Even the next 5 closest combined would not match Trump on that score.

Some folks claim that Trump everything that Trump has said publicly has proven true. I don't know. I haven't checked such things out.

I just know his character; that he's a work in progress like all of us; that he has a heart for God (wants to be known as the most praying President) and a heart for the hurting, poor, marginal in society and a heart for The Republic. I know he gave up a lot for a thankless job with constant danger of being killed (at least 12 major assassination attempts so far--including a missile fired toward AF1).

I don't have any trouble giving him my full support. imho, anyone who doesn't give him their full support is working against what God is doing with him.

Compared with literal witch Shrillery, there is NO COMPARISON on morals or honesty etc. We elected a President, anyway--not a pure-as-the-driven-snow preacher--though I don't know any preachers like that, either.


I don't believe a lot of the noise about Trump's ancient history. Even if true, his earnestly working to walk every closer to God the last 10 years as attested to by those who have been praying weekly with him and helping disciple him are far more trustworthy and far more accurate about who Trump is currently.

If folks tacked you to your sins from earlier in your life--I gather you'd be delighted?


I think you are pharisaic-ally arrogantly assuming a ton of stuff.

1. I think Trump prefers to take people at face value until they prove otherwise. You are assuming he knows everything about someone & their history. Nonsense.

2. I still pray for The Lord to bless him with more and more humility. Some of his trumpeting his own success etc. are earnest efforts to get folks on board against the treasonous DIMRATS. I would still prefer that others in the admin did that but I can accept Trump doing it without consigning him to hell for doing it.


God have mercy. May God speak to you very clearly about how off the rails you are on such scores. Your postings demonstrate to me you seem to have very little clue about the huge task Trump has taken on and the intensity of the evils involved.

But go ahead and throw rocks at him. We'll see how God responds to you regarding that habit.


Walking closer to God the last ten years?  Is anyone fact checking this stuff?  I remember Trump saying he doesn't need forgiveness.  I don't care how many spiritual advisors he has that is wrong.  They all know it.  If people were perfect they would not need forgiveness.  There aren't any.  And his statement that his favorite verse is eye for an eye.  Come on.

Well Quix I have come to the conclusion that there is not enough foil on the face of the earth for Qanon.  What really caught my eye was assassination attempts.  Really?  Wouldn't we all have known?

 Had there been assassination attempts it would have been covered in the news not something they found on the Qannon reddit pipeline.  Anyway that story at least the one that you mentioned has been debunked.
 

All of what Qanon has to say about Trump and prophesies is nothing short of what they made up in their own minds and posted on reddit.  That is why they call it conspiracy theory.

Without integrity is no truth.

Plenty of truth in that.

However, the deceptive seduction is that integrity filled behavior MAKES us righteous.

From there it is a short jump to ranking ourselves and others on a scale of righteousness/integrity.

THAT is UNBiblical, seductive, pernicious, self-righteous, hypocritical, Pharisaical, . . . hostile to the teachings and lives of Christ and Paul.

THAT is part and parcel akin to the haughtiness toward Trump on this thread.

Christ fiercely castigated the Pharisee who prayed, "Lord, God, I thank you that I'm not like this {low integrity} Publican over there."

The Publican prayed "Lord, God, be merciful to me a sinner."

Lying is lying. No amount of twisting that around is going to change that. Calling evil good is the basis of all the disagreement here. And who is it justifying evil as good here?

Oh, OK but I don't want to hear you say anything about those dimrats anymore.  If we are going to talk about integrity it has to be equally applied.  You can't say that I should not judge Trump or any of his thug friends, appointments and lawyers.  Any of the polticians he supports and they fall short in righteousness.  It appears the swamp is deep and wide from right to left.

Ain't that the fact... and that by our 'betters' that have cast all principle aside.

and that by our 'betters' that have cast all principle aside. . . .

ACCORDING TO YOUR most exalted, paragon, pristine, omniscient Pharisaical JUDGMENT!

IF and when God comes down in a burning bush declaring that your JUDGMENT is the only judgment that counts in this situation, I'll give it more weight.

If you missed it back when, it is a list of promises made during the campaign, compiled in the day.

Many of the most important promises remain unfulfilled, notably, Hillary in irons, the wall, and the repeal of the ACA, which were signature promises.
While some good has been done, it's like going to a soiree and having some fun, but not getting to dance with your date.  Those were, credibly, the promises he rode into office. Lets see if he makes good on them.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Oh, OK but I don't want to hear you say anything about those dimrats anymore.  If we are going to talk about integrity it has to be equally applied.  You can't say that I should not judge Trump or any of his thug friends, appointments and lawyers.  Any of the polticians he supports and they fall short in righteousness.  It appears the swamp is deep and wide from right to left.


THAT'S part of my main point . . . that y'all are NOT applying your prissy, narrow, rigid, haughty, .... 'integrity' judgment anywhere close to equally, even-handedly to Trump.

When you have helped insure all the baby child rapists sacrificing them to satan get their just punishment, etc. etc. etc., THEN it might be time to rant pontifically about the one working so hard to put such people off the streets and in prison.


I could somewhat understand your fiercely, reflexively going for the jugular of a baby rapist cannibal.

Your rage against one of the MOST clean living, higher integrity major big businessmen in NYC is . . . somewhat off the wall.

No, @Quix - According to the Principles of Conservatism. Name a single ONE that is found in Tumpy's administration, without fail.

You cannot.

Like I said, leave me be. Whatever is left between us is shred even further by your every post.

You've put your faith in Trump publicly. You claim he was put there by God and is doing God's work. Somehow Obama wasn't though...

Time will reveal who was the fool is here soon enough.

I'll wait.

Sorry, Joe, but I thought you were wiser than that. Have you even attempted to scan the SCOPE of the tasks Trump has laid out for him in dealing with the long list of evils in the major institutions of the USA?

I say a HUGE BIG LOT MORE than "some good has been done."

About 10,000 children freed from sex slavery is a YUGE LOT! Particularly to those children and their parents.

Dozens of corrupt congress critters resigning and promising to not return to avoid prosecution is a YUGE THING NEVER BEFORE ACHIEVED by any/all the other Presidents combined.

One could go on.

ONE of those 'to do' items would require a lesser person to consume all their waking time and energies coping with the huge task.

And he has a long list--just the TYPES of evil to deal with; or the SPHERES needing cleaning--all are mind boggling.

On top of that, he has to do it with at least one hand tied behind his back and a 24/7/365 fiercely satanic onslaught from the MSM!
