Probably his tan!

I find it both shocking and troubling that the one group that has stayed silent are the evangelical leaders of our country. What are they waiting for?
Why should they?

A gun is a killing machine. Kinda hard to be "pro-life" and then advocate for the proliferation of mass-killing machines to everyone, no matter how crazy or unhinged.

They don't care about "thou shall not kill".

There's zero mention of abortion in the Bible, and it was never an issue in Christianity until recent times. Nowadays fundamentalists have no problem with killing millions of actual living people, but go crazy about abortion. Once the kid is born, though, you can kill him, apparently.



One the baby is born they don't care about it any longer only that it was born. No, it's not in the bible this is something they made up themselves.

One guess. Color.

Joy Reid interviewed one former and one current member of trump's evangelical council. It's the first 14 minutes or so - it basically came down to abortion and gay marriage - getting the "right" people on SCOTUS.[/quote]



The most common problem is that BOTH parties make promises like getting rid of abortion, it's just another lie to get into office.

Unfortunately many have switched Gods they follow Mammon ($$) now so trump is their moses-- but I'm not surprised- God does send spirit of delusion- to confuse those truly not hearing His voice- He gives them a chance to hear the truth, and then----

just history--

But it leads to more deaths, in massive numbers.. if it is LIFE than Evangelicals care about, you would think they would be anti-gun.

It looks like Evangelicals are pro-life while life is still inside the womb (or at least pro-life for the fetus, they don't seem to care about the mother, only the contents of her womb.), but anti-life once that life exists outside the mother's body

Guns, drugs, cars, knives, etc...sorry no sale.
Its the person who wields the tool, not the tool itself, that is the responsible party.

Getting rid of abortion has never been an agenda item for any party but the GOP.

You are missing the point on this issue. Yes as followers of Christ, Sin and Abortion are always on our awareness. Political dealings is not everyday business and there is always Gods will on events and the path of the follower.


HRC and the DNC represented a Evil that could not be disregarded anymore. This is way Christians came out of the wood work. (Jesus was a Carpenter)


The every day business of the Church is Out reach and studying the word of God. No one sold their souls to Satan. If any has we could look at what is happing t Clinton ,Lynch, Pedesta, The Clinton Team and finally Shultz.
