Justifies the condemnation of all "white evangelicals?" Sounds extremely petty and small-minded.

Face it bro Ohio, you're just defending a ghost ... that you don't know at all ; just an idea that you like in your head ... to vindicate your own position.

And you can't admit Christendom's failures ... any more than you can admit that Jesus has failed you.

Christendom failures - sure. Jesus failing? Never.

But my suggestion is go to Jesus and tell Him you think He's failed you . . .

After all my hopes and dreams failed in the local church I already did that.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a lawsuit by Texas that had asked the court to throw out the election results in four battleground states that President Trump lost in November, ending any prospect that a brazen attempt to use the courts to reverse his defeat at the polls would succeed.

“I think this will end up in the Supreme Court,” Mr. Trump said of the election a few days after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death in September. “And I think it’s very important that we have nine justices.”

He was right that an election dispute would end up in the Supreme Court. But he was quite wrong to think the court, even after he appointed a third of its members, would do his bidding. And with the Electoral College set to meet on Monday, Mr. Trump’s efforts to change the outcome of the election will soon be at an end.

I didnt say that. I just find it funny when white evangelicals dont read the bible and hold the bible the wrong way. Unless they can read upside down. Now that is a talent.

And you are omniscient? And you think it's funny that white evangelicals don't read the Bible? Only God could know that.

Even if they do read it, some dont practice what they read or what Jesus preaches in the Bible. I doubt Trump has read it through even once.
