Only god knows what is in our hearts and our futures. It is impossible for man, and an insult to god, for us ever to pretend we even have a clue about what lies in a persons heart.
 
Good points. The Bible does say that you will know the tree by the fruit it produces. It's not our place to judge someone else, and we will never really know what's in someone's heart. But we are supposed to hold one another accountable for living according to the Word, as Chrisians.

Yeah just like we will never know what's in a Christian's heart. Some Christian's fake it just like the non Christians.

I can't judge a man's heart. I can judge his actions. Donald Trump does not act like a Christian now, and he did not act like one before entering politics. His "Two Corinthians" remark does not make me think he has spent much time in church, either.

Only god can tell what's in a man's heart? If Trump has one, he sure doesn't show it, gassing protesters for a photo op is a sign of an honest, noble man in your eyes then!

smh

Can yall keep this in the religion thread? Quite frankly, I didn't come here to the political thread get lectured about how I shouldn't give my opinion on Trump because "only god can judge" or some other bullcrap excuse.

These statements are extremely hypocritical anyway because many of the same people spouting and supporting/plusing this crap are more than willing to "judge" democrats like Hillary Clinton all day long! As soon as it's a Republican like Trump though, it's not allowed here and only reserved for god!

Pathetic.

I was talking to what the Bible says pertaining to the subject being discussed, as it relates to how Christians are supposed to proceed. If you're an atheist, obviously it doesn't apply to you. I thought that would be understood. Some Christians are quick to comment on the status of other people. According to Scripture, that is not the best thing to do. Obviously, you can skip over it, since it doesn't apply.

You are a very good good met, but you are not a people-person.....extremely condescending to the other side of the isle. Chill out just a bit. Everyone deserves respect.

Ok but this still isn't the time and place to shove your religion and your version of Christanity in my face to denounce my political opinion of Trump.

I'm condescending and not a people-person? For one, you've never met me in person so you really don't know me at all and, for two, didn't you and almost every other person in just here say that "only god can tell what's in a man's heart?" Extremely hypocritical of you to "judge" me and apparently this rule of "not judging others" doesn't apply to people like me who don't agree with you.

Wait a minute.... Not judging you pal. Just some constructive criticism. There is a big difference.

Sometimes topics overlap. That's ok. I'm not shoving anything in your face. It doesn't apply to you, and clearly you are free to hold whatever opinion of Trump you wish. And nowhere did I denounce your specific opinion of Trump. You're free to hold whatever opinion you'd like. It's a free country, a free board, and a free thread.

That’s still judging and actually no there isn’t a big difference lol. Criticizing someone still involves you making some sort of judgement on my character, behavior, actions or all of the above which goes against the very words you and everyone else have encouraged me to follow. Walk the walk, and talk the talk.

It’s funny how anytime anyone here (including me) gives “Constructive Criticism” of Trump, we immediately have to stop because only god can judge! But oh man if it’s a liberal... all bets are off!

Whether Christianity or Atheism, it informs a voters decision making in an election, and has a direct effect on how we are governed.

Every topic overlaps in some convoluted way but the religion diatribe was excessive and derailed the discussion in the thread away from politics for a while because multiple posts (in a row) were about religion only.

This whole thread is a virtual derailment of insults and condescension. The Bible photo op was the genesis of most of the religious stuff. It'll stop soon enough.

1. I agree. There's no reason why a religion based discussion is required to judge Trump. What about common decency?
2. I agree with you that Hillary and other Dems like Biden are judged by the far right all the time and they will continue to be judged. That's fine but Trump should be able to be judged, too.
Aren't many on the far right calling Biden a pedophile? I've seen posts in here that seem to be implying that.

Folks need to stop with the double standards on both sides but many won't due to tribalistic tendencies.

Good post. Of course the liberally dominated MSM won't talk much about these 4.

This is another example of the ever present double standard. Both sides are guilty of this all the time!

Not trying to make this religious or anything but as a Christian me and my family have talked about the not judging thing and our idea is that you don’t judge someone based on going to heaven or hell but it calls for us in the Bible to call out other Christians if they don’t uphold the rules of the Bible. This means I’m not going to say if Trumps a Christian or not but I am going to call him out for his wrong doings if he claims to be a Christian same with Biden. As I have said before Trump is not preferred by me but I didn’t get to vote in the 2016 primaries and based on some of my political beliefs I don’t have a choice in who I vote for this year.

I would like to point out that you are the one who interjected religion by asking me if I thought he was a good Christian. I don't profess to know who is or isn't a good Christian and don't really judge who I vote for by his religion or lack thereof. Jimmy Carter is the worst President in my lifetime and he was a self professed born again Christian, although I realize this was before your time
 
As for Trump, he has done PLENTY wrong as President (in a secular way) but had done some good as well but I still don't know who I will vote for this November. Last Democrat President I voted for was Obama but only his first term.

70% of people infected with the coronavirus did not pass it to anyone, preliminary research shows. Superspreading events account for most transmission.

A new study showed that just 20% of coronavirus cases account for 80% of transmission. Superspreading plays a key role in the growth of outbreaks.

Virus can’t spread in church because God is bigger then the virus. So the virus won’t come in Gods house

The virus is already mutating to less dangerous forms. Not too mention we cant stay locked up like that its been too long the harm too much.

Starting to think people are getting too comfortable staying at home.

I don’t think people are staying at home now. Pools and beaches are open, stores and restaurants are open. We are almost completely back around here.
