President Bill Clinton ----------------------------------------- President Donald Trump
OR King David by that token! :noway:
What Trump said isn't "naughty" - it was a "racist" slur pure and simple and if that wasn't his intention, why hasn't he addressed the nation from the Oval Office to correct that impression?
It wasn't even racist. The only offense is calling third world places outhouses. That's the only concern: A political concern about offending people who have to live in those places "Because" liberals try to put on a nice face and use a nice spin, calling evil-good. Instead of "outhouse" it is 'their culture.' Well, no. Someone is exploiting these people because they have enough resources to end the problems, if they desired. I don't like the comparison, but instead, we should look at what the point is. Simply getting up and arms isn't dialogue. I can't change the President's words. Overlooking the word, I might be able to vote, or send money, or any number of other things (Imho, the more important).
What is truly sacrilegious is not only Trump's arrogance that his life is so exemplary that he has no need to seek God's forgiveness from sin, but reinforced by the decision by many conservative Christians to wilfully ignore those verses of Scripture rebuking those who follow that route!
:think:
"I try to lead a life where I don't have to ask God for forgiveness ... Why do I have to repent? Why do I have to ask forgiveness if you're not making mistakes?"
- Donald Trump
Wow, thanks for the whole quote. Question, do "you"
try to live a life where you don't have to ask for forgiveness? What is wrong with '
trying not to sin?' Was there more? If this is it, I believe a LOT of people have done this man a disservice.
1 John 1:8-10
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
So is gossip and misrepresentation? :think: I didn't vote for Trump, but he is doing what he said and taking a LOT of flak for a job he is doing with no salary, and I think, for the most part, he is doing a good job AND incredibly better than Obama, Bush, or Clinton, imho.
