We know that in all things God works for the good of those who
love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
This is another favorite verse of mine. If God starts a good work through you He will certainly complete it.

Yes I see that people have their own way of deciding who Is evil.

I won't agree or disagree with what you said there,you might want to expound on why you have chosen Trump though, because If he Is not crawling on his belly,meaning,In full contact with the earth on his flesh and no where near the spiritual smell of life,then I just don't know whats GODly and whats not?
[h=1]"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."- CS Lewis[/h]Hillary has way more of that acidic tyranny in her blood than Trump ever will.

Your thoughts are so fanaticized, unfocused and scattered. I thank God that you don't have control of anything important.
What's wrong with you?
Did Donald Trump do or say those things?
Don't push the truth down Into darkness attempting to hide It,recognize It and embrace It.

This guy claims to be this bringer of truth......Satan claimed to be a bringer of truth. I don't trust satan and I don't trust this dude either.

You have no exclusivity on truth. Maybe your own truth but you don't have the high ground on truth. If you think so you are more arrogant that Trump could ever be.

That CS Lewis quote was not directed at you, but Hillary. Hillary=busybody, Trump=Robber Baron.

Sorry for not clarifying. I mean if I find a reason to shout you down I will, but so far you've been rather civil with me. ;)

I think it mostly has to do with the general decline of applied Christianity within conservatism. The bang that started with Kirk, Schaeffer, and Colson has ended in a whimper. The Catholicism that once animated National Review gave way to a more tolerable sort of materialism than the standard faire.

We are not only in the world, we are of it. And so our standard bearer is of it as well.

I'm still voting for him because the other has fully conformed to the pattern of Satan's realm.
Im not voting for Trump,but what you said was deep and True.

I think many people round the world are questioning why both candidates managed to stagger their way to becoming Americas only choices. There is a third option and if I were American I would go for it. Stay at home on polling day then when everything falls to bits at least you will be feeling free of guilt if thats any consolation.

I can't figure it all out but I've thought over a few factors. The Republican party getting liberaller to appeal to more voters backfiring after Trump said things that resonated with the conservative voters they abandoned, the Republican party choosing unwinnable nominees for the last two rounds, and the Republican candidates not caring enough to actually stay in the race.

If we can just get yours disconnected from the progressive hive it's plugged into, we'll be onto something.

The big difference between myself and others who support trump and those who dispise him is that we listen the multitude of interviews and statements he has made going back to the 80's and make our own determination about what he said. The trump haters on the other hand listen to what others said he said and have their minds made up for them. It's really quite sad to see someone think they're thinking even though they're actually letting someone else think for them...but I suppose that is the reason why we are on the verge of chopping down the tree of Liberty.

Have Americans ever asked themselves why Donald Trump was about to defeat all the other GOP Candidates during the Republican primary election despite all the abuses and inappropriate words he used most of the time?
This is a question which Americans who are interested in the election and those around the world who are interested in politics should ask.

The World is being ruled in the Spirit Realm and this election has already taken place in the Spirit Realm and the winner known. Nothing in this world happens by chance. And there is nothing like chance or luck when it comes to Children of GOD.

We have a Faithful Father who knows all things.
A person that Insults people makes promises without a plan,bigoted unpresidential,pathological liar,says he wants to make America great again while his ties and suits are not made by Americans

He called Mexicans rapist,was Insensitive to a gold family regardless If they attacked him first,there Is a time when people will say anything when they are grieving and you just got to put your arms around them and cry with them,

I can go on and on about that kind of spiritual stench but alas ,he Is the nominee because of voters that don't care about that.

they are selfish and just want to see him In the Whitehouse.

Where did you become confused,I can only speak fairly on my posted thoughts,If you have a question about the conversations,I'll try to expound.:)
