BarryLaverty Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Sad event when someone can't have differing opinions that he feels follows his Christian beliefs. Actually surprised that he lasted that long without Trump devotees pushing him out sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild74 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Glad he is out, he set in judgement of Trumps morality while opening a path for the homosexual loving, abortion loving, anti Christian loving Joe Biden. His hypocrisy is astonishing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES....IF that person has not OBEYED God's command to Repent, Confess, and be Immersed in water to have their sins washed away, they are not a Christian....IF a person advocates for things that God has said are abominations and sin, such as abortion, homosexuality, and other perversions, then that person is NOT a Christian.....God made the offer of salvation, it's up to man to do what He said to do in order to receive it....anyone who does NOT, is not a Christian.......

Well, to tackle that head on, I believe you are conflating his not supporting Trump and other extreme Republicans (and Democrats) because of their lack of morality with your political beliefs. There is every reason to assert that the man has followed the steps to becoming a Christian, and that article clearly stated that he had helped take a stand against abortion rights, without mention of homosexuality or any other 'perversion'. He simply pointed out that Trump was not a moral man, who was unfit. In your eyes, that made him not a Christian? That takes things to a whole another level of extremism, I think.

I always thought it was believing that Christ was the Son of God, died for our sins, and that we confess that Christ is our Savior. I'm a terrible Christian though, so maybe I'm wrong.

RETIREDFAN1 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Mark 16:16 English Standard Version16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Acts 2:38 English Standard Version 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 22:16 English Standard Version 16 And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
