Why does Fuentes only focus his energy on one side of the see-saw?

That’s only half the story, the other half is a tale of people selling their souls to the Republican party. 😉

I would also add that culpability for the kingdom turmoil that followed from David’s reign could/should not be disconnected from the judgments pronounced by God on David for his sin(s) in 2 Sam 12. So in that manner, “the buck stops here” shows the complexity of assigning complete praise and/or...

A very strong defender of religious liberty indeed!

Good points, which is of course why he is a man after God’s own heart, but a very flawed man at that. Relatively speaking, an unrepentant magistrate who forwards commands which promote restraint of evil, restraint of things like sexual mutilation of little boys and girls for instance, might be...

Makes you wonder what kind of leader would steal a man’s wife, let blind ambition make him a bloodthirsty warrior, and self-reliant pride take count of what a great kingdom he had built.

There was a lot more in that article than promoting the raw pragmatism and ethics of Machiavelli. I read some of his stuff way back in college, and came to the conclusion way back then that his ethical framework wasn’t one I would promote. The balance of the article was that integrity wasn’t a...

Why do you assume Stalin wasn’t restrained? Or that God’s purposes in judgment weren’t accomplished?

Only if Trump can be blamed. 😉

Of course, character matters, but policy does too. It’s not a one size fits all, or some sort of all or nothing. It’s not an either/or, but a both/and. We will never have a perfect politician, just like there are no perfect people. No one candidate will punch the ticket for every kind of voter...

Only if a person believes in an inept and weak God who does not set kings up and put them down.

D.C. pipe bomb suspect disliked both political parties so he felt violence would be justified hmmmm, I may have to keep closer tabs on some of our FFF participants from here on out. 😁

Yet under the man who is characterized as the president with the most integrity in modern American history (Carter) we didn’t see that principle materialize. In addition it is worth noting that not all philosophy proponents and ethicists think personal virtue is the most valuable or absolutely...

God bless the USA!

Sure, Stalin restrained Hitler.

No joos.

There’s a short, and a long answer. I’ll give the former for now. The office of pastor has explicit descriptors for that office. The president/king does not. His responsibility per the Bible is to restrain evil, not display personal moral virtue.

I’m feeling this ain’t a safe space anymore . 😁 But seriously, the moral bar of expectations for a pastor of a church is obviously different than that of a politician.

Care to elaborate on this statement?

Michigan universities football coach (Sherron Moore) was fired several weeks ago when it was discovered that he was having an affair with his young staffer. That lover was the result of his firing. The coaches reaction at the time of the firing was to break into her home and threatenen her life...
