Will Evangelical Wimps Elevate Manners Over Survival?
In justifying why it is acceptable to vote for Mitt Romney but not Donald Trump since it is likely that neither is a valid Christian, the pastoral staff of Berean Baptist Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina enunciated during a SermonAudio podcast an interesting array of verbal criteria to justify such an electoral decision.
For example, Romney is supposedly a much more pleasant individual more concerned about unity and bringing people together.
Furthermore, it was clarified, even if his Mormon faith is in error, it is still sincerely held.
So would these pastors have as much problem if people utilized a similar criteria in deciding what church to attend or join?
For example, sure, Brother Osteen has his glaring doctrinal deficiencies.
But one cannot deny that he treats people a whole lot better than Touch Not The Unclean Thing Hyperseperationist Baptist Church where Pator Knowitall yells at the top of his lungs about women wearing pants rather than dungaree skirts so long that they herd dustbunnies as the garment scrapes the floor.
