Someone on my Facebook feed just shared a live video from the head pastor at Pace Assembly of God

The point of this discussion, as I see it, is that churches do not have license to insert their religion into the political process, although some regularly do.  When a pastor of a church preaches support for a political candidate, that should lose the church's tax exemption.

It has been going on for years and years and years. Through-out minority churches, especially.

Which minority church(es) do you attend?

You don't have to as you can see Revs Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on TV all the time doing it.

Please cite the name of the churches where these two are pastors.  The issue isn't about religious celebrities who are political spokespeople.  It's about pastors who attempt to illegally convince their congregations to vote one way or another, from the pulpit.  


Try and attend some of the remedial reading classes where you teach.  You need it.

The truth is, Donald J. Trump is as Christian as I am, only I understand what's moral and he doesn't.  

Reality.

Heathens, like yourself, are desperate to twist my faith so you believe it fits your needs.  Straight out of Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals".

Would Jesus have built a wall?  Are you really that ignorant or are you just being facetious?



Once again, and I'll type slowly since comprehension does not seem to b one of your strong suits.

People of faith are not perfect nor do we pretend to be without sin.  The difference between you and people of faith, AGAIN, is that we are forgiven.

How can you understand what is moral or not moral?  On what to you base that understanding?  On what is it founded?  You make it up as you go?  Whatever you decide is moral, is moral and whatever YOU decide is not...is not?

Perhaps if you read the Holy Bible you would understand that it is filled with killing, war, violence and sex.

What's it like not having to live with a moral compass?

Well I might agree but it didn't look like he was doing it from the pulpit. I only watched part of it but it seemed he was inviting anyone and everyone and he didn't have a captive audience within a church.

I've been remembering the other Assembly of God church in Pensacola...a person I knew who did water aerobics at the YMCA...and kept hitting on me.  He was a deacon at that church...really made a big deal of it.  I would always replace the lane markers after class because people were waiting to swim.  He grabbed my breast as I was bent over the edge of the pool tightening the connectors.  Unbelievable...and some people apparently thought I was encouraging the guy, who was, of course, married.
