re: The Cost of Trumpism on the Religious Right

Christians who still think Trump cares or that he’s a Christ follower are deluding themselves and it’s honestly very sad to see.

another panican having a bad day, surprised you people are showing your faces today after showing nothing but your asses the last two weeks.

I get what you're saying OP, but you couldn't be more wrong.

Our system forces you to vote for one of two parties, if you want to actually have a chance to win, so it's the lesser of two evils.

I don't like it, but it is what it is.

For all Trump’s faults and flaws, he still isn’t even close to the total moral degeneracy of the modern American leftists.

As easily as say getting drunk at the bar on Saturday night and cheating on your wife in the parking lot and sitting on the front row of church come the next morning.

Listen, pal. There's a Theological Doctrine called Eternal Security, which teaches us that no matter WHAT sins we commit, Past, Present or Future, WE are already Forgiven and our place in Heaven is absolutely assured.

You'd better read up on Eternal Security. That man sitting in church on sunday morning after a night of sexy-fun with the barmaid is already forgiven and his place in Heaven is assured.

Just hope the barmaid didn't get pregnant. But even if she does, she can get an abortion, because Eternal Security informs her that her place in Heaven is assured.

Have fun this weekend !!

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth.

I do disagree with Lewis here that they are more likely to go to Heaven.

That's a shitload of typing to tell us you've got yourself a major case of TDS

Have you taken a moment to review your own posts prior to accusing others of this fault?

After a brief review of your posts, I would say that your resume's headline could be "Sanctimonious, Self-Righteous Whiner." You seem to have absolutely ZERO self-awareness.

I am told by many that the Bible is very clear on the Truth of the Doctrine of Eternal Security, Brother.

The doctrine of Eternal Security (also called "Once Saved, Always Saved" or OSAS) teaches that once a person genuinely trusts in Jesus Christ for salvation—being born again by grace through faith—they are eternally secure in their salvation. They cannot lose it, regardless of future sins, failures, or even periods of unfaithfulness, because their security rests entirely on God's power, Christ's finished work, and the Holy Spirit's sealing, not on their own ongoing performance.
Core Idea
Salvation is a one-time, irreversible transaction where God declares the believer righteous (justified), adopts them into His family, and guarantees their final glorification. The emphasis is on God's faithfulness keeping the believer, rather than the believer maintaining their own salvation through perfect obedience or endurance. Proponents argue this provides deep assurance and freedom to serve God out of love, not fear of losing heaven.
Key Biblical Arguments
Supporters point to several passages that highlight the permanence of salvation:

John 10:28-29: Jesus says, "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand." This portrays double security—in the Son's and Father's grip.
John 3:15-16 and similar verses: Believers "have eternal life" (present possession of something that cannot end). If it could be lost, it wouldn't truly be eternal.
Ephesians 1:13-14 and 4:30: Believers are "sealed" with the Holy Spirit as a guarantee "for the day of redemption." The seal points to a completed transaction.
Romans 8:38-39: Nothing in creation—"neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons... nor anything else"—can separate believers from God's love in Christ.
