    This may be tough for some to swallow, but....

    That is a good verse. I prayed for Trump to win the election but I was badly disappointed when all the things that Trump said he'd do - he did the opposite. AMERICA IS NOT MUCH BETTER OFF SINCE HE TOOK OFFICE BUT CHRISTIANS JUST COMPARE HIM TO OBAMA OR HILLARY. IT'S EXACTLY HOW THE POWERS...

    This may be tough for some to swallow, but....

    Trump was a registered Democrat when he lived in NY. Trump attended gatherings with the Clintons. Trump is a Freemason - he admitted it on tape. I encourage you to read up on Freemasonry. If Trump is pro-life why hasn't he defunded Planned Parenthood? Are jobs really up and unemployment...

    It is actually much worse than that. Our country is compromised far worse than you know. CNN Insider: The CIA Controls Everything We Do

    This may be tough for some to swallow, but....

    Have you ever dealt with really clever people who really knew how to manipulate par excellence? They fool a lot of people. In fact that fool most people. Isn't Satan himself supposed to be a highly clever being? I think that we have to consider the possibility that Trump may have been...

    This may be tough for some to swallow, but....

    I think it's a sign of the great falling away. I didn't read the entire article but I think I got the gist of it. I was one of those Christians who kept making excuses for Trump until I realized that I couldn't do it anymore - he was lying and lying is particularly of the evil one. I...

    How do you address opposing Scripture verses?

    Yes after a period of being backslidden, these last months I've searched really hard for God. I feel like I "broke through" something spiritually because I really sense Him - we were riding in the car the other day and I was reading Psalms and I had such a "quickening" (?) in my spirit - it was...

    How do you address opposing Scripture verses?

    It's taken me many years to work through a lot of Scripture and I've had my share of misapplication and misunderstanding - and I still do. God didn't give us an easy task. I think a lot of christianity misapplies verses - those two I gave being examples. I wish I had found a really good bible...

    How do you address opposing Scripture verses?

    I agree with you - but how do you say it was patently in opposition to Scripture? The pastor's judgement was obviously way off but Scripture does say to turn the other cheek. Just reading about that shows me that other believers (if the pastor was a true believer) also have trouble...

    How do you address opposing Scripture verses?

    The pastor who advised the woman to submit to being beaten interpreted Scripture completely literally - without any consideration for the unique circumstances. We attended a church where the leadership said that God placed them in positions of leadership and their decisions were basically...

    How do you address opposing Scripture verses?

    I know what you mean - I read that there are pastors who aren't even spiritually regenerated - so they obviously teach the bible from the flesh. I'm questioning everything that I had previously thought and why - I think it's sometimes hard to know what choice to make without God's direct...

    How do you address opposing Scripture verses?

    I hadn't read that interpretation but it's possible.

    How do you address opposing Scripture verses?

    I had something like that happen recently - a company I had dealt with was corrupt and caused me some problems - it took a period of several years but I just read that they're being sued - so usually if someone treats you corruptly they treat others corruptly as well. So God did show me that He...

    How do you address opposing Scripture verses?

    Yes I know what you mean - you're given understanding from God - and I know it happens lifelong. Some verses seem to contradict one another but when you have a decision to make and turn to Scripture for guidance, you have to make a decision with only the wisdom that is available to you at the...

    Character

    Like many other Christians I overlooked Trump's inconsistencies. I went along with the reasoning: "At least he's better than Hillary!" I read and listened to all the pastors who idolized Trump, fawned over him, and initially appeared as if he was what we'd all prayed for. A "Moses." But then...

    How do you address opposing Scripture verses?

    Yes I know exactly what you mean. I think we've had some wrong views of what turning the other cheek means at times - I struggle with knowing - but I think that compromising with evil is never good and sometimes only leads to more proliferation of evil.

    How do you address opposing Scripture verses?

    Even before I became a Christian I didn't steal from people.

    How do you address opposing Scripture verses?

    Yes but what of the verses I gave? How would you personally think to apply the following verses: "Have nothing to do with the unfruitful deeds of darkness but even expose them..." vs "Therefor if thine enemy is hungry feed him..." ? Which verse would you personally have applied to the...
