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'

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"?

Mike

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.
