How do conservative evangelicals reconcile their support for Trump with Trump’s sinful lifestyle?

The Government needs to take control of all ammunition makers and suppliers.

Make it impossible far anyone to buy it and they keep their harmless guns.

Absolutely NOT!

The problem with both parties is they believe they have given us only 2 choices.
It's either Biden or it's Trump.
And this isn't how this country works. This is how the establishment works, but not We the People.

You have as many choices as are running. Listen to all of them. Choose the candidate that you believe will best serve Us as a whole nation.
Not just one side ot the other. But one Nation United under policies and laws we can all agree on.
If that means we have to start over, then sobeit.
If we need another party or no party to speak for US then sobeit.
This is OUR country and it's not up to Their choices. Those choices belong to Us.

Some have pulled out of the race. But I believe you could still write them in if you chose.
I didn't X those photos out, they just won't load.

The dem convention will be a sham as always.
Berney was in fact the nominee last time.
What a sham. Totally fake.

You sound connected by repeating the taking points of Ms….uh Catholic she / he homosexual Maddow.

BTW…attending a Church does not make a person more or less Faithful…
AND…the Capitol Building is NOT the White House. LOL
AND…when did Divorce become a sin?

Divorce became a Sin at the beginning and Moses forgave them of such, due to the hardness of their hearts in fact, but Jesus Jesus gave us Life, so with Grace we have not a heard heart ?

But them again if one is without Grace and is cruel, sure their maybe grounds for divorce.

Personally I believe the “idea” of divorce, same with marriage…is more so for manKINDS preparation and understanding of what entails a true and lasting relationship with the Lord God.

God Bess you.

Glory to God,

Do many of you read the responses to understand or to gather information to insult?

AND…when did Divorce become a sin?

Did you go read what Jesus said, or just listen to those that think Jesus doesn't know what he's talking about because they have been divorced and remarried and seek to justify their sin?

The only reason He gave for divorce is sexual immorality and scriptures does not teach that it's OK to remarry as long as the former spouse is still alive.

That is true. For those of us who divorced and remarried prior to becoming a Christian, we have our sins washed away. However, I see that to divorce again - in order to not be committing adultery with our second wife - would also be a sin. That situation if not addressed in scripture other than the mercy received when justified.

Where as I believe that when our spouse abandons us and divorces us against our will, God doesn't hold that against the offended party, even as Christians. That is me. My ex-wife divorced me against my will and abandoned me in the process. This ended up as a good thing. I am no longer depressed to the point that I needed medication and no one is worried that I will kill myself. My marriage was truly that bad.

I also do not think it was God who joined us together.

I prayed for months about dating again and marrying again. I prayed that God bring me someone who He has in mind for me and He did. There is no doubt that this woman he brought me is from Him. It is the best relationship I have ever had. There is no tearing down of the other person. We build each other up and encourage each other. She divorced due to her ex-husband cheating on her before they were married and multiple times during. She stayed as long as she could and tried, but he would not stop

Now we're engaged to be married.

Exactly... there are some on the ditch on the other side claiming they must divorce their current spouse and go remarry their first spouse that they divorced before becoming a believer back when they had no knowledge of the will of God.

 

[bluedragon]

It doesn't matter ....your votes do not determine the presidency and haven't for decades. But if they did, I wouldn't justify any evil with my vote .....even a so-called "lesser evil." God never instructed us to come into agreement with evil. And Trump is by far, not a "lesser evil." He somehow does a great job of deceiving people.

The Democrats are evil to the core. Pretending to be Christians, yet supporting every anti Christian position on the planet….up to and including slavery.

You’ll never me vote for a Progressive……..supporting sin.

I decided to start this discussion thread because I dislike how so many evangelical Christians fervently support Donald Trump. Indeed, their support for the guy is unwavering and often fanatical, a description that is by no means hyperbolic. A cursory glance at the life of Trump demonstrates that he is a deeply sinful man. One such example is that he has been married three times, having divorced two wives already, and it gets worse: All three women were betrayed including his third wife, Melania. During Trump’s third marriage, he slept with an aged porn star and paid her hush money to keep the affair a secret (which didn’t turn out too well for him).

To be clear about something: I am not arguing whether or not Trump is a sincere Christian. That isn’t the topic of this discussion. My opinion is that, while Trump pays lip service to the evangelical political positions to court their votes, he is only saying what he must say to garner support, get the right-wing votes, and ultimately get what he wants: Another shot at being POTUS for four more years. Obviously Trump’s so-called faith in Christ exists only insofar as it benefits his political career. That is why there aren’t any accounts of him being a regular church-going Christian.

When Donald Trump lost the 2020 Presidential Election to Joe Biden, something truly terrible ensued: An insurrection at the White House. Trump supporters stormed the place, bringing with them Confederate flags, many of them armed, and some people died. It was truly a national disgrace.

Granted Trump didn’t give any specific orders to overthrow the White House. But consider the nature of his speech: It was vindictive with victimhood written all over it, and there was an implicit assumption of violence. Inciting an insurrection indirectly is still inciting an insurrection! Fortunately there are over a dozen states that are now trying to keep the insurrectionist off the ballot so he doesn’t become president again, and hopefully dozens more states will follow suit.

Jesus has been nicknamed the Prince of Peace because he taught love, mercy, compassion, kindness, and all the great heavenly virtues. How do Evangelical Christians reconcile Jesus’ pacifism with their support for Trump, a notorious insurrectionist? Jesus also taught lifetime monogamy in Matthew 19:8-9. How do Evangelical Christians reconcile Jesus’ teaching about marital faithfulness with Trump's serial betrayals against all three of his wives?

Now you read minds and intent. Interesting…..that is witchcraft correct?

Lying is a sin.
Beyond that, you must really hate king David. He had more wives than Trump.
You are duped in propaganda friend

@sols;
Can you name a policy or act by Trump that is wrong?

You trying to start up a concubine?

2nd Hearing on Impeachment of Mayorkas for border crisis.

Enjoy the show!

Hearing on Impeachment Resolution Against Secretary Mayorkas, Part 1

The House Homeland Security Committee held its second impeachment inquiry hearing into Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas' management of the U.S. southern border. Witnesses included two mothers who blame their daughters' deaths on the Biden administration's immigration and border policies...

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee criticized for saying impeachment is not meant to be used for revenge

House Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, took criticism on Tuesday after posting to social media that impeachment should not be used as a tool for revenge.

Impeachment is not for revenge? Pot calling the kettle black! Wanting to impeach Trump was all about revenge and hatred for Trump. In regard to Mayorkas, it's about dereliction of duty, so impeachment is necessary. The border crisis is an absolute disaster!

Well, it has taken them more then a week to write 2 articles for Mayorkas and someone said yesterday he has not done any "high crimes or misdemeanors" So we shall see. Likely wont amount to more then a reprimand.

Impeachment is becoming too common place when it really does nothing.

You don't necessarily lose your job just because you are impeached... Clinton/Trump

In fact, a minor slap on the wrist might be desirable for some who want to make it into the short list in the history books.

You dont even lose your position and you can continue to work, and eventually run for the same office again.

I would think that if removal is not certain... and it is not.... if one is impeached then they at least deserve a salary cut. if not demotion.

Perhaps the real issue is that they don't have a way to fire someone for failing to do their jobs. Only the office that appointed this guy can remove him, and the office is not likely to do that. Impeachment proceedings simply put out there the fact that this guy is NOT doing his job.

 

[RedFan]

Impeachment proceedings simply put out there the fact that this guy is NOT doing his job.

If you will allow me to propose a slight modification: Impeachment proceedings simply put out there the fact that in the opinion of those advancing impeachment proceedings this guy is NOT doing his job.

If the impeachment proceedings come to naught (as the Senate will eventually prove to be the case here), conclusions about this guy's job performance may not rise to the level of "fact" (as opposed to mere opinion).
