2016 Presidential Campaign

So gossip will send a blue hair to hell as quick as an extra marital affair would send a back seat baptist? How about the deacon who secretly lusts after one of the hot (we'll keep it female) members? He is doomed too.

He very well may be. Don't equate struggle with unrepentant sin...it's not the same thing. If the blue hair knows gossip is wrong and refuses to stop, that's an indication that she isn't saved (and never was).

It's not formulaic. Orthodox Christianity has always held that faith and repentance are inseparable.

If you disagree, my question would be, what is required for salvation and what does it entail?

Which comes back to me in a way per this forum as I feel like a very poor "watchman on the wall". I walk the very fine line sometimes and sometimes tread on the wrong side of passing on news, gossip at times as well as usually framing these in a not very pretty light and usually an insulting one at that. This could and has been sin on my part I know. However, I do ask forgiveness for it daily, and maybe not enough on here from the BB&B family, for when I step out of bounds in the weeds and insult others on here and those in high authority in our government. That doesn't mean I'm not praying for them but hammer on them I sure do anyway when needed IMHO. OK, now I feel I'm in a confessional or something.

The Roman road.

Old covenant law requires perfection. New covenant law does not. Would your definition of unrepentant sin include various addictions? I don't believe it would.

[johnnylightnin]

Explain the essentials of the Roman road. Perfection is certainly not required. Faith is required and for 1000s of years the church has said that you can't have faith without repentance. Genuine conversion bears fruit...always.

I'm not basing my opinion on what "the church" says. Genuine conversion bearing fruit could come from a sinner like I described earlier. Let's cut to the chase...

Give me an example (other than Donald Trump) of a Christian saved by Grace who has become lost because of unrepentant sin.

Where did you get that idea from what I posted? On a business trip, but I'll explain later.

The left is going to eat this clown for lunch.

Sorry to change the subject but am I going crazy or has this guy in the last few days 1) Quoted Mussolini 2) Threatened revenge to those who publicly disagree with him once he is in power. Which basically 3) Ends the First Amendment????

He wouldn't even disavowed David Duke and the KKK on CNN. How hard is that? He didn't want to disenfranchise the racists

[TYLERTECHSAS]

Trump is driving me nuts along with Rubio lately for sure. They've been crazier the last 10 days or so.

You know Trump's just stating, or not stating in this case, what the core old Democrats believe as they historically are the true racist.

That said,

Trump blames earpiece

I'm with cscollis.

I and all of my family (the ones I'm aware of, anyhow) will be voting for the Donald.

I like the car salesman from South Carolina who said he was voting for Trump to give the finger to the establishment.

There is little or no difference between the repugs and the democraps. All of our high elected officials have been bought and paid for.

This is why the media, the government officials, the repug party, the big money donors, etc., etc. hate the Donald: he can't be bought.

Rubio looks like a smart-mouthed bellhop; Cruz looks like a Canadian puppet for Goldman Sachs.

The POTUS is very limited in terms of actual power; about the only thing he can do strictly on his own is start a war; and that's because the Congress refuses to do its job.

I think a Trump presidency would be very interesting.

Happy to see that Jeff Sessions endorsed the Donald.

I suspect there will be more endorsements pretty soon.

By today's end it should be pretty clear who the Republican nominee is going to be. All indications say that it will be Trump. After today, a full blown Republican establishment effort will begin to elect Hillary over the outsider candidate Trump. I don't think they can do it. Screw the GOP. There are too many people that are going to vote anti-establishment this year.

Trump can be bought. It just hasn't happened yet.

The only conviction Trump seems to have is to himself, and that scares me.

[cscollis]

Funny that a lot of Bernie supporters have Trump as their second choice. TRUMP will win HUGE today. I am hoping he will pick Cruz for the supreme court and Carson for Surgeon General. He should name little Rubio as dog catcher for some small town in Alaska.
