Dems Deny God 3 Times in Platform Issue
 

Question! What spiritual significance, if any, do you place on the Democrats denying 3 times, "God" being placed back in the Demo's platform? even tho the response by the crowd was over ridden by the man in charge?

Just wonderin'

Been Thinkin

Signs of the times! Someone said it's the first time they've ever heard God booed and Bill Clinton praised at the same convention!

That God is never surprised and He is charge, but that we need to be prayerful about who we vote for, either GOP or the Dems.

that about half of the delegates "did not want to retain God in their knowledge"?

Wow! Sam. That sounds like scripture! :thumbsup

And would a prayerful answer favor
the Pharisees, or the Sadducees?
Do you really think the choices are
any different now than they were then?
How do you know?

I personally am convinced
that a...prayerful consideration of this matter
could only lead a believer in a completely different direction,
and I have quiteabita Scripture to back me up.
You cannot serve two masters? Just look at "new posts."

Did they really "boo" God? Seriously?

:lol
Now. I wonder if, by any chance,
there might be one of you out there
that might be interested in a conversation
about what is really going on. No GOP
allowed, of course.

Witness the fruit of politics,
and understand what you do
to "Christian" when you attempt
to serve two masters.

This was seriously disturbing. Even more disturbing was the fact that he used illicit measures to force the change into place. The vote was clearly to close to call, yet he proceeded to force the issue into place regardless of the rules mandated. The secondary question is whether or not God was given glory by such unethical behavior. My answer would be absolutely not!!! The convention should have been forced to answer that question in the manner provided by the rules. I would deem that God and his word were rejected just as much by the man on the stage as He was by those in the crowd.

From what I understand, after the third attempt at a voice vote, the person in charge read the words from the teleprompter about how in his opinion the motion was approved by a 2/3 majority and was therefore adopted.

Re: Dems Deny God 3 Times in Platform Issue
 

Are you accusing the teleprompter of breaking the rules?!? :D :D :D

Re: Dems Deny God 3 Times in Platform Issue
 

no, I'm opining that it was already decided that the motions would pass and the voting was just for show. When it seemed like over half of the crowd rejected the motion, it was publicly stated that the motion had passed just like the "party officials" had already decided.

It's interesting to note that the part of the crowd I saw on tv was the Arab Americans being very vocally opposed to the motion.

I would have liked to have seen the Democratic Party officially have gone on record as to their actual stance on God and Jerusalem. I anticipate that in four years they will not even vote to include God, and will support making Jerusalem the capital of a new Arab state. This will be especially true if Obama wins a second term as our 'messiah'.

Jimmy Carter former U.S. President, a great source of embarrassment to the American people and quite often compared with Barack Obama, stated a while back that the Israelis are treating the "Palestinians" like the Nazis treated the Jews.

Re: Dems Deny God 3 Times in Platform Issue
 

I had thought about buying some of Carter's books, but when I looked at them, and saw his deep anti-Antisemitism, I could not do so in good conscience. I find it a shame that a man who helped to finalize the peace between Egypt and Israel has turned so thoroughly from the proper path.

Re: Dems Deny God 3 Times in Platform Issue
 

They did, sort of. It was a resounding NO!

Re: Dems Deny God 3 Times in Platform Issue
 

The split was nearly 50/50. They did not actually quite reach the point of straight denial. Next time however, it will not even be an issue. The few that remain that believe in God will be forced from the party. I do not see them having anything resembling a 'Christian' basis.
