Gingrich Becoming GOP's Voice for Conservative Christian Concerns

Reader Comments

Back to blog

I would suggest as sinners we all fall short. That is why redemption through Jesus Christ has been offered to all, even the most heinous of sinners. However, the scriptures tell us that there are sins which will not be forgiven (without confession, repentence and a change of heart). Those are the killing of innocents (abortion) and sins against the Holy Spirit. Whether our neighbors and friends have taken care to do this is definitely between their conscience and God. The anti-Christ will tell you your conscience does not override the pleasure of the current President of these United States. I leave it to you to come to a correct decision.

response to opal of ca. If you search obama's background you will find that his associations are extremely left leaning with several of his mentors being communist.Be that as it may the republican candidate wimped out when it came to pressuring obama on his past associates so the american people bought obamas fluff and elected the most liberal,abortion loving, inexperienced,excuse for a christian to the presidency.Why is obama fighting to conceal his birth certificate which if validated would put all the conspiracy theories to rest?Why aren't his college records made public?Obama is leading our country to disaster. Wait and see when all these hugs and smiles and bows with american hating dictators come back to bite him.I pray for the safety of our great country and hope we can survive the pro abortion,pro anti traditional values of the obama presidency.IT'S NOT ABOUT PARTY AFFILIATION> IT's ABOUT VALUES>

Dear God and Country: So Obama is a Muslim??? Funny how he continues to worship in a Christian Church--no devout Muslin would even consider doing that. And, I guess that was a Koran hidden in the Bible he held during his swearing-in ceremony. And born in Africa??? No proof would satisfy you and others who continue your delusional (non) thinking. You folks continue to make false accusations without any proof. If you don't like his politics--that's fair.Offering constructive criticism of our elected leaders is our right and responsibility as citizens.But repeating your old and tired rumors is s o o o childish and ineffective.

My favorite former President John Calvin Cooledge said,The

business of America is America,Americism!!!!!When will this

sink in the heads of our leaders? When will America the beautiful be truely respected again? Our great nation was build

with blood,sweat and many tears.She was founded by faith and its faith that has kept her strong.Faith in ourselves,that will build up our workforce.Faith in ourselves, will feed our families and keep them strong.Faith build a nation and it was called Americism!!I Love YOU America! BE Strong!

The leaders of the right today seem to be strange role models of religious and morality positions. How many times have Rush and Newt been married? Or is morality in the eye of the beholder?

And it doesn't mean he is an icon to me above anyone else.

I believe he honestly cares about our country and our people.

I also believe people opposed to Mr. Gingrich care about our country and our people.

I think of it like this:

It is not quite as bad as it seems and it is much worse than it seems. In a way, even in their sin of religious abstinence, most of secular society is closer to God in honest rebellion from the church than the corrupted church itself.

In contrast, the church must be corrupt enough to meet the fallen where they are and at the same time be the witness of God’s Holiness. The Scriptures are like that today.

The accumulated alterations to the text actually give to the Bible a false witness that aligns with the falsehood of the world. At the same time, the Bible does contain the history and message of the witness of redemption.

In addition, if the Bible were perfectly detailed and accurate there would have been two major dangers through the centuries;

One: A prideful decision based on rationale would have been more important than faith in God.

Two: There was information concealed through intentional error to protect several different aspects of society.

Three: If the Bible were perfectly true it would be possible to worship the book instead of God.

Boy Rick Renzi, you sound like a typical liberal hater of anyone who differs from your views! Token Jindal? Good old boys southern party? Have you ever listened to Glenn Beck? He has stated over and over that he is a Libertarian, and he finds fault with both parties. Maybe if you tried some unbiased sources of information, you wouldn't sound so ignorant.

The new face of the Republican party is Glenn Beck who secretly loves having the Democrats in power because it sets him up to rake in millions pandering to the paranoid fringe. Next we see the re-emergence of has-been-Gingrich trying to fill the James Dobson, Sarah Baracuda shoring up the "Family Values" branch of the party while Meghan McCain and Steve Schmidt come out in favor of gay marriage (!!!) And let us not forget props like token-Jindal and token-Steele who demonstrate how "tolerant" the Good Old Boys Southern Party has suddenly become. Watching them all flailing around waving their tea bags and fighting with each other is more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

This is great news!

Once I'm done assimilating Newt's views on spirituality, I'll be signing up for the Bill Clinton marital fidelity seminar and the George W. Bush Mensa meeting!
