Trump is not Christian enough
I want a President who at least respects Christianity and won't declare war on it like a certain White House occupier I can think of. But does the President have to be what my Biblical view says constitutes a true "Christian"? A friend of mine put it this way......
Quote:
"Having a Christian as a President would be a real blessing. But, here is a thought as well;
When I need my lawn cut, I don't hire a Christian lawn guy. I hire someone who can cut my lawn right every time for the best price. If he is a Christian, I am very glad.
When I need an attorney, I don't hire a Christian attorney. I hire someone who is the biggest, baddest, most proficient, effective attorney I can afford. If she is a Christian I am glad.
Being a Christian isn't a detailed enough resume. There has to be more, in my opinion. That's just me.
My conclusion is that I've hired enough people who are Christians that can't be on time, finish the job, stay at the agreed upon price, or do what they said they would do.
Character matters. Competency matters as well."

Another friend of mine shared these thoughts....

You voted for GW Bush, but you can't vote for Trump if he's the nominee? I went to two Bush inaugurations and voted for him twice. Had a "private" dinner with him and about 300 hand picked supporters in D.C. I sat by Gloria Estafan, Don King, James Dobson and other big names in business, music and screen. It was AWESOME! However, as far as his "Christianity" is concerned, Bush was NO-where close to what many of you Ranters consider Christian. If you voted for Bush, you voted for a man who stated that the Muslim god and our God is the same God and publicly worshipped along side Muslims in mosques. Would you? You voted for a man who said that he did not believe the bible was literally true, but "you can learn a lot from it". He increased funding for planned parenthood. How many human beings died as a result of that? His gay and lesbian policies were the same as the Clintons. He regularly dropped the "F" bomb. So, you voted for Bush but can't vote for Trump because he's not Christian enough or he sinned more? I'm not endorsing Trump. I'm just saying, I...WILL...BE...VOTING. I voted for Bush twice because I didn't want Al Gore or John Kerry. They would have been a national disaster. So, if you voted for Bush, don't say you can't vote for Trump. The appeal for me right now for Trump is, he's not Hillary AND the establishment/insiders are so scared of him, that they are trying to rob him of the nomination and We The People of our voice. THAT should speak volumes. But again, to say you can't vote for Trump, but you voted for Bush is either hypocrisy or ignorance. GO VOTE! Cruz or Trump....its 6 one way, 1/2 dozen another. Either way, I'll vote. So, I'm done with the political post LOL and I sincerely hope I got under somebody's skin. Lol.
The above quote is from a Church of God pastor.
