    "Christian" forums are a perfect example of not being able to control the tongue. We should expect it.

    The Dems are the ones trying to dictate that.

    No Christian should support Abortion or alternate lifestyles, but some will do such still...
    They are very mistaken on those issues, but what determines of one is saved is how they view the person and work of the Lord Jesus....

    Ephesians 4:31-32
    Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

    Do you believe Jesus was in violation of that passage?

    Jesus challenged the religious leaders of the day. But how was He unkind to His followers?

    I believe it is for some a "secret" sin. It is an opportunity to walk in darkness, to slander, lie, attack and abuse.

    For some reason some seem to think it doesn't count as sin because it is not face to face.

    Un repentant murderers are saved? Those continuing to condone murder of the innocent? By their fruits......

    Do you think any of His followers would have supported abortion and homosexual behavior?
    His followers are not murderers and supporters of abomination.

    Voting for a particular candidate is not condoning murder unless such a candidate is wanting to pass a law mandating that someone be murdered. Abortion being legal does not make a person get an abortion, anymore than alcoholic beverages being legal makes someone get drunk, or fornication being legal makes someone fornicate. Lots of abortions were taking place in the United States before Roe v. Wade. We Christians would make a lot more progress, in my opinion, in lowering the numbers of abortion by spending way more time spreading the gospel of Christ and a lot less time engaging in earthly politics.

    Come on, Hoover!?! The guy that sent the military into Washington to burn out the WW1 Vets... Is that the earmark of a non violent Quaker (people serving the inner spirit)?

    I got news for you, both Dems and republicans actively do that and that’s communism. Stifling a free market system, borrowing from the enemy, closing down businesses, unfair tax policies, legislature prohibiting firearms, alcohol, drugs etc... this ain’t what the founding fathers had in mind when they got away from Europe.

    You run on the abortion platform , you are pro abortion. The Dem platform is that of abortion.

    Sounds like some serious anarcho-libertarian doctrine dancing around the truth there. Would you claim that sort of reasoning makes sense if applied to murder outside the womb, or to slavery or human trafficking? An unborn person is nonetheless living.

    Abortion is murdering the child, but the Christian who states that abortion is acceptable would be very wrong, but would not be a salvation issue by itself....

    Abortion should never be supported by a Christian, but salvation is how one views Jesus, not abortion!

    No. What did Jesus say about murderers?
    Discussions on this board have turned into a vain effort of casting pearls before swine. I have better to do with my time than discuss whether or not followers of Jesus can be non repentant murderers.
    I am going to take a VERY long vacation from this place and its liberal foolishness.

    No. Scripture specifically tells us that murder and homosexuality is depraved behavior and those who practice such "walk in darkness".

    The SBC is in disarray and decline because of Greear and Moore and cultural marxism. It is like they are trapped in hippie heaven.

    I am just as conservative as you are, but the question was can a saved person gold to abortion is legal, and sad truth is yes they can!

    The truth is we do not know.

    One could do all the right things and not be saved. One could do wrong and be saved (we do not know how God may be working in the person).

    But we are called to judge by the fruit and act accordingly. That is an issue with churches today. Some want legalistic adherence to the Law while others seek to be passive against sin. Both sides are equally wrong.

    Scripture does say that we are no longer mastered by sin. Either that is true or it is false.
