He still believes that the Bible teaches that God hates sinners. That may Fred Phelps-ish, and we all repudiate him, but it is true. God hates sinners. He is able to hate them and love them at the same time.

I think you are probably right. He probably is out of touch with the pro-life community. That STILL doesn't necessitate that he is for abortion.

It is still non sequitur to demand that just because he said they do "wonderful things" that he thus supports abortion. He could have spoken in ignorance. Or, you could be right. Upwards of 20% of their activities are not abortions and he could have been talking about that. What we know...

They probably DON'T do mammograms. Trump could be wrong about it. It's certainly not the first thing he's wrong about. Or, I could be misrepresenting him. It was from memory. PErhaps I was mistaken. Maybe he did not SAY that PP does mammograms. What is true, nonetheless, is that they do other...

No. That's not true. He did not "support" PP. He said that they do some wonderful things (which I wouldn't say). He clarified that he meant mamograms, cancer screenings and birth control. They actually do these things. He still said in no uncertain terms that in spite of these "wonderful...

The last quote I know of wherein Trump supported abortion was made in an interview about 15 years ago. "[Reagan] fought against Republican-sponsored right-to-work legislation and for Helen Gahagan Douglas in 1950, when she was defeated for the Senate by Richard Nixon."...

Of course the title was meant to be provocative, but though it is true that God loves sinners, at the same time, and in a way that does not stand in contradistinction, it is also true that God hates, not just the sin, but the sinner also.

Many of us (I am a Southern Baptist pastor) view this as pandering. It comes off as a desperate attempt to keep the convention relative. The leadership for the past half decade or so seems more determined to wage war on racism than homosexuality and abortion. Racism is an issue in this...

5 years. A lot of us have changed on a lot of things since five years ago. Reagan supported the most liberal piece of legislation ever written (The New Deal) just a few years before he ran and became the Republican governor of California. This shows that we are very forgiving of people's...

I don't think so. Provide your sources. Make sure that they are recent (you said "still is").

You ignored too much of my post for us to have a meaningful conversation. I'll only say that heaven will be filled with the REDEEMED. That is one of the main things heaven's occupants will praise God for forevermore. There is no redemption if there never was any sin.

I don't think I proved your point. It seems that you are implying that Trump is a failure as a candidate. The fact that he is not many people's FIRST choice certainly does not make him a failure. This is especially true since he WON the Republican nomination and garnered more votes than any...

To say that he "failed" implies that he is rejected completely by these voters. It's just not true. For example. I'd have voted for Rand Paul before Trump. After Rand Paul, I'd have voted for Mike Huckabee. After Huckabee, I'd have voted for Kasich. I'd have voted for Carson after that. Yet, I...

It does make sense but the issue is very complex. You'll have to understand evil as privation. God did not create evil because evil is not a created thing. It is not a thing. It is the absence of a thing. This does not mean it is not real. Cold is real but it is not a thing- not really. It is...

I don't even know where to begin. A sign? SMH...

I don't think so.

What is the disconnect?

It's still a red herring. Just because there is another issue doesn't mean that this one is not an issue. How is it a clear sign? On what evidence do you base that claim? And what if my curious 8 year old spies through the cracks to see the man's anatomy? That is not the same as if she spies...

Why start your response that way? With that tone? What is the impetus behind that? So, it is remarkable that he was getting 35% of the vote with 17 candidates running. It is also remarkable that he was getting 41% of the vote with two other candidates running. I have. If I recall there was...

It doesn't make God the author of evil. But I'd challenge you to show how congruent election resolves this problem.
