Of course I get it. I also get it that you can't call someone "McCain's Pastor", if he never attended their church. When you seek someone's endorsement, you are asking them to say to their followers that you are the best person for the job. Nowhere have I seen that the pastors were seeking McCain's endorsement of their views or that he was offering it.

McCain said "All I can tell you is I'm very proud to have pastor Hagee's support," Hagee has called Nazis divine agents sent by God. I think the facts speak for themselves.

Once again, jumping on the topic w/o thorough knowledge ! McCain PRAISED these pastors calling them great men and said he was honored to have their support.....[somebody please translate]

The issue is not whether he's a member of their churches or not

The issue is he sought their endorsements for political purporses
And went even further by praising them and saying that he was honered to have their support
And when things backfired.....he rejected all that!

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree!

Yep....agreeing to disagree seems to be the only way to agree to disagree about what we are disagreeing.

He is now attends a Baptist church. He said that in the statement disavowing the pastors.

Are we really expected to believe this? Christians love the Jewish community. The Jews are God's chosen people and Jesus was a Jew. I have watched Hagee on TV and have only found one thing about him that I don't like. I am not going to tell you what that is because you would just use it. I have a friend who is a pastor's son and he told his wife that Hagee's preaching is the most near the Bible that he has ever heard. You are taking something he said out of context.

Nothing on earth happens unless God allows it.
