I say we should not let nickles hold up dollars. Here is an example of what I mean from the mouth of God himself.
And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: 10And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. 11And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 12How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. 13Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. 14Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
There are bigger moral issues and there are lesser moral issues, and one is a fool if one lets the lesser moral issues govern the greater.
That is a HORRIBLE perversion of scripture to promote situational ethics and create some kind of morality out of wickedness. Yeshua DID NOT ABOLISH the Commandment by noting that serving men is greater than rescuing a sheep. The Commandment still stands. It was men making the commandment a burden to the indifference of men in need that Christ was addressing.
He was NOT setting up a hierarchy of greater or lesser moral issues. The Law was always intended from the beginning to underscore justice, mercy and faith while keeping the ordinances to the letter rather than the traditions added to the Law by men.
Using such a verse to justify the selection of a proud immoral man for ruler because Hillary is worse is just another example of how Christianity in America has become nothing but lukewarm if not outright cold.
I am beginning to regard the constant efforts to torpedo the only candidate we will have as betrayal. I feel that if Hillary wins it will be in part because of the constant carping of people who have no better solution. It is engendering an animosity that is getting harder to resist.
So be it.
Your party betrayed us over and over again and Trump has sown irreparable division between Conservatives via his own threats, behaviors and those of his rabid followers.
I accept that this rift is irreparable, which is why I moved on and from a compromised and corrupted dead party.
We are in a war, and a small cadre of dissidents keeps trying to undermine our only chance at victory;
You have NO victory. The Constitution and Conservatism has no 'victory'. The GOP killed any chance of 'victory' when it spent it's majority power attacking Conservatives while handing Obama his agenda without opposition, and then everyone doubled down and made a lifelong NY Liberal Democrat Trojan Stalking Horse their prince.
Your party chose the only candidate who would lose to Hildabeast in a perceived engineered landslide and make her coronation look legitimate.
It will be difficult to forgive if they are ultimately successful at wrecking our only hope.
Your only hope?
And you people get so upset when it is mentioned that the Trump supporters want him for messiah and king.
As to forgiving - we didn't ask. We're not interested in having you people 'forgive us' for dumping your failed candidate, your failed party and moving onto where our principles are upheld and promoted.
Your nominee has succeeded in making this political division permanent. Fruits of the man you want to make your ruler.
