| As uncommendable as Clinton is, as a believer, I have to consider: |
| “Fools mock at the guilt offering, but the upright enjoy acceptance.” Prov 14:9 “Forgiveness flounders because I exclude the enemy from the community of humans and myself from the community of sinners.” – Miroslav Wolf “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 14:11 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3 (Matt. 5:3). What did He mean? Simply this: We must be humble in our spirits. If you put the word “humble” in place of the word “poor,” you will understand what He meant. In other words, when we come to God, we must realize our own sin and our spiritual emptiness and poverty. We must not be self-satisfied or proud in our hearts, thinking we don’t really need God. If we are, God cannot bless us. The Bible says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6). Pride can take all kinds of forms, but the worst is spiritual pride. Often the richer we are in things, the poorer we are in our hearts. Billy Graham Evangelistic Assn. |

Would anyone vote for that?” (referring to Carly Fiorina) “If you do not get even, you are just a schmuck!” “When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it,” Trump said. “Then they were vicious.

John Kasich (who has also declined to endorse him) and someone else he wouldn’t name. |

| “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matt. 5:11, 12 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor; and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. Matt. 5: 38-45 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD. Isaiah 19:18 |
“When people wrong you, go after those people, because it is a good feeling and because other people will see you doing it,” he writes. “I always get even.” . . . . Asked if he had a favorite Bible verse or story that “informed” his thinking or character: “Well, I think many,” Trump responded. “I mean, when we get into the Bible, I think many, so many. And some people, look, an ‘eye for an eye,’ you can almost say that. That’s not a particularly nice thing.” |

| Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey! Isaiah 10: 1,2 Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. Ez. 16:49 |
“We have to start by building a wall. A big, beautiful, powerful wall.” He has proposed barring Muslims from entering the US until the terrorist “problem” is under control.
