No righteous person seeks to justify evil. A repentant and redeemed man is grieved by sin, whether it is their own or anothers. Each time a person tries to justify what is immoral, they take one more step towards a seared conscience. And in that you need to be careful.
A person can have voted for Trump and not sinned (likewise a person could have voted for Hillary and not sinned), we had a horrible choice in 2016 - vote for the lesser of two evils or don't vote at all.
But a person cannot stand behind Donald Trump and indiscriminately cheer him on in his immorality and drunken pursuit of power and not sin. IF you can't acknowledge the things he has done that are wrong as wrong, then you are way too far down the path of moral compromise for your own good. I'd encourage you to take a step back and think this through as a Christian and not as a Republican.

The DNC's servers were a different system entirely, but idiots like you are too stupid to tell the difference.

Originally posted by Charles View PostI wonder whether some of the posters here are real Christians. That, however, is not based on a "self-righteous holier-than-thou" attitude but rather based on the fact that what some of you support appears to be a complete contradiction of what Christianity is. Some think it is criticism of Christianity. It is rather a wake up call for the sleeping giant. It is time for the Christians to stand up against the lies and inhuman policies. You are needed and your voices should be heard loud and clear.That's what

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostThere is no way to know who or what might have hacked Hillary's server.
This displays your own ignorance of the matter.
Given the thousands of known attempts per day to hack the Pentagon and military contractors by the Chinese, Russians, and others, one should be able to admit the probability is at the very least high Hillary's server was hacked.
And to say it was 'never' hacked as if it is some sort of known fact is simply idiotic.

Bill - return to your Lord and speak for what is RIGHT - period. And speak out against what is WRONG - period. Immorality by Hillary DOES NOT JUSTIFY IMMORALITY BY TRUMP - or any other person in government for that matter!
We are not on the right or the left! We are Christians. And Christ's teachings are out standard, and the Bible teaches us what is good and what is bad. And if that means that we can't give even partial support to ANY political party, THEN THAT IS WHERE WE MUST STAND!
ALL of us that are Christians here need to STOP saying an action that is wrong is justified by the wrong action of someone else! In the words of someone we all are supposed to love and respect:
Do NOT return evil for evil!

Sorry, bro. This is what I do for a living. For the DoD.

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostWhere have I supported Trump's immorality? His personal sins?You said the Trump campaign had done, and I quote, "nothing wrong".
my apologies - that was mountain man.
I am not going to do an exhaustive search of posts, If I've confused you with someone else, you can accept my apologies. But I have seen too many people whose opinions I respect and whose faith strikes me as genuine Justify grossly immoral behavior by Donald Trump and it all boggles the mind and unfortunately blurs together sometimes who is doing what.
