First, we better not exempt all sinners from taking the pulpit.  We'd have a serious deficit of Pastors worldwide.  My question is does this "couple" consider their lifestyle a sin or do they promote it?  Looks like promotion.  I don't believe in kicking out homosexuals from a church because no sin is greater than another.  We shouldn't kick out any other sinner either.  I mean, that's what church is there for, right?  We don't need to pile on homosexuals and go out our way to rebuke.  It's easy to publicly condemn a sin that you don't struggle with personally.  The Christian church needs to do better at reaching out to homosexuals and all other sinners and meeting them with love.  On the flip side, we already know that there's a agenda to diminish Christian values in this country and the LGBT community will not consider "loving another person" as a sin.  Of course there's different types of love, but that's another conversation.  The Bible is the complete and authoritative Word of God.  We don't get to pick and choose.

I think Donald Trump proved that one. 

Looking forward to the day where we don't mention race in order to heighten headline.  Killing 9 people in cold blood is plenty to warrant firing up old sparky.

This is what Dems don't comprehend. They think we all absolutely love Trump and are okay with some of the things that he says. This whole mess is not about Trump. This was about Obama and Clinton. The Republicans could have ran ANYBODY and won this election.  

The people that voted for Trump did so in spite of him. 
They want a couple of conservative judges on the SCOTUS. They want to end the rush to gun control every time there is an act of violence that gun control will not slow one bit. They want the health care system improved. They want the tax system reformed.
The people that tossed out Hillary's chances of running the country voted for Trump even though all kinds of groups of people got butt hurt at some point in the election. The people are fed up with the last 8 years. 
Going back over 100 years, Obama is the only two term president to lose votes (over 3 million) in his reelection. The only other president to lose any votes was the third term of FDR. The voting public could see what was happening and Hillary was seen as his legacy. 
To make it short, people did not vote for Trump. They voted against Obama's third term. I think there is a good chance that they will get what they wanted and that is lightening of business rules, the SCOTUS, etc. The rest is just fluff. 

I agree ...if he can stop being distracted by shiny objects.  Trump may be the biggest God-send for everyday Americans we've seen.  

They say a hit dog barks...lol.  Seriously, race issues have at least two sides.  For a long time the issue was dominated and controlled by whites (some well meaning and others were more concerned about free labor), then we had a shift in the 60's and the issue was dominated by minorities.  Any opposing views were kept hush publicly unless you were in a fringe group.  Today I'm praying we're seeing a balance talk and understanding.  We can't start the conversation with the words "Racist" or "Liberal" either.

I can control myself, but I know a fox when I see one. Temptations of the flesh are the most difficult to deny.

LMAO.  If you ask me, the mens teams could take that latter name at times.  

Every church has different ideologies.  While this may not align with some Christian views, I'd argue that it's no worse than the local churches that I know about that kicked gays out of the congregation, while embracing young, unwed mothers (and every other type of sinners, as long as they weren't homosexual).

One of the most frustrating hypocrisy that is taking place now is Dems and Liberals shaming conservatives and/or Republicans for supporting Christian beliefs when they contradict the agenda of the LGBT community.  These same Liberals and Dems scream Islamophobe or anti-Muslim.  Uhhh, I think the Quran is pretty tough on homosexuals.  Muslims believe the Quran just like Christians believe the Bible.  How about calling out some of those Muslims you love so much on their homophobia ...or is that just their beliefs that need protection?

"The mission of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination."
Obviously their heyday was during the Civil Rights Movement, like SNCC and many other groups.  Today they definitely could play a vital, but they've been mostly M.I.A. IMO.  They could have been out in front on the what some believe is an extensive culture of police brutality and the BLM movement would be the NAACP.  Even if their law department found that all or most of the shootings were justified, they could have played an important role in presenting evidence/facts and getting to the heart of the issue.

Where have you been? Finally run out of Play Doh? Lol

I'm sure any number could be supported depending on the sources used.  The crusades were pretty rough. Do we count the people who pushed for Western expansion of the US?  They killed more than a few.  I'm with @LumRaiderFan on this topic.  Lets talk about modern history and not ancient.  

Thank you...was a part of my rant on prejudice.  We're not all a like.
Regarding taking something up with Muslims ...just pointing out hypocrisy.  As fellow Christians, we get persecuted (as Jesus said we would) for stating our beliefs.  Muslims are getting a pass on their beliefs because of the battle between Liberals and Conservatives.

I love how people justify criminality by bringing up history.......the "yeah, but what about them?"....attitude. Of course that changes when something happens to their loved ones. Then it's..." let's go get those *{![£***s" 
Please show me where 150,000,000 people were slaughtered by Christians.

Lately?
I am quite sure that right NOW you are much more likely to be blown up, run over or beheaded by a Muslim than a Christian. 
But let's keep living in the past. 

Was he white-hispanic? 

Rem- why don't you lead us forward on this one.  After all, most of us get some or all of the news from Fox News and we know how you feel about them.  Tell us what you have gleaned from the Pristine integrity laden halls of ABC,NBC,and CBS

No way.  I have it on good information that he is a member of the tea party and is angry because Ted Cruz did not get the nomination. 

What about all the other racists? They going to heaven?

Once again, " appearances" and "intentions" matter more than facts.  
AS for Hillary advising you on optics, she possibly should have considered that prior to her deplorables speech

She's gonna need more than that "prior effective scowl on her face" to fight and intimidate.  Nobody fears her any more.
