Christianity isn't a suicide pact. Trump is our self identified instrument of retribution.

I'm kinda hoping he goes to prison, just to see the conundrum it puts the Secret Service in...do they have to send agents to prison to guard him..? Will Melania come visit him? Will they let her?

I believe I have posted it here, and I know I did many times over the other place...

I believe God made Trump exactly for this place and this time. His entire life was in preparation of this need. This is his destiny. This is his calling. And I do not believe God is through with Mr Trump yet.

I believe America is one of God's gifts to the world. Why would He not develop people specifically to save this gift from evil. And I believe Trump is one of those people.

I don't think that's what LATB said or intended. Used as an instrument of /= messenger.

Lars, I appreciate that this is what you believe and it is deeply personal for you. I would never disparage someone's religious beliefs as I feel they are as unique as each one of us are.

Having said that I would like to ask a sincere question for your thoughts. I agree that America is a gift from God, the true shining city on the hill that Reagan spoke of when he referred to the words of Jesus in the book of Matthew. Why do you think God would place that precious place into the hands of a flawed man? We know that Trump has broken God's commandments and his day to day interactions for the most part are not godlike in any way. Why would God not send an individual that was more humble and sincere in God's way and the gospel of Jesus Christ? A man more capable to care for all in God's flock? Think of all the great people that God has created to help make America what it is over the past 257 years, why not another Jefferson, Adams or Washington for that matter. I have asked myself this question many times and it's hard for me to get past. Would be interested in your thoughts.

That video was posted 4 years ago. So even back then, the statute of limitations had already run out.

Actually, it was not legal because it was personal funds. They may not prosecute, but that certainly is not why.

And the statute of limitations on a potential felony has not set.

Go listen to the video YOU posted. Rudy said it was legal. So you're a lawyer with more experience than Rudy?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You really have no idea what so ever what is really happening and who is really in charge.

It's NOT the fake biden. It's a massive sting operation which will end up changing what we THOUGHT we knew.

Buckle up buttercup and hang on tight.

It is not sarcasm. God uses all of us in many ways. I did not characterize Trump as a messenger. But I do believe God is using Trump in ways we both can and cannot understand.

This is kit about sex, it’s about money.

If Trump knew they occurred, which appears he did at least from Rudy, it’s a felony.
No, it is not. "Hush" money, in and of itself, is not a crime. Hell, I've been paid a number of times to sign an NDA. That's all it was.

No man is without flaws. We all have sinned. Reagan and the founders you noted included. Throughout recorded history God has used many of less than stellar reputation to serve mankind.

Here’s a thought provoking point:
Maybe God did intend to send that man with the humble and near perfect Christian life to us. But he was aborted by evil men of this earth. So God may have other plans. And maybe they include imperfect men.

So prove that it had an affect and/or that he specifically made the payment to affect the election.

So many other reasons he could say he did it, because the timing was all up to Daniels, not Trump.

That's what the issue is with the indictment and why so many in Bragg's office are pleading with him to not embarrass them. Trump is basically begging to be arrested at this point so that he can basically shred them in court and make a mockery of the office, all while super energizing his base. That clown Bragg can't even tell when he's being played even though the rest of the country has seen Trump play this game so many times previously.

You are correct, God creates imperfect men. However, when God uses these imperfect men and they find themselves at the crucible they have almost always moved towards a more humble, godlike existence and that's when they become great men and great leaders.

Now, there is also a possibility that God is using him to play a role in our nation's downfall as well or to give rise to a stronger man of God to play a role. After all, in all things there is an opposite.

I agree that Trump is here for a reason, good or bad, by God's hand. What worries me is when he makes comments about "death and destruction" or "I'll be your agent of retribution", neither seem very godlike or Christian to me. So that makes me wonder which direction Mr. Trump is evolving and what role he has to play. It is also true that he may still have a great everlasting influence on our nation for a positive change as I don't know what's in his heart, for our sake I hope so if he is again given the opportunity.
