Dan, I don't really care if you or anyone else agrees with me. It's no big deal. It is just my opinion that JF as a Great Christian leader is over rated. I don't need to convince you of that. This is my opinion. lol....

That he is a cessasionist has nothing to do with being a Christian leader. Remember dan I am not saying he was not a Christian nor am I saying he was not a leader.

The early christians voted in no elections...they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims...that is the road I chose to follow many years ago. It does not seem that God and politics mix very well. (just my opinion)

Well I thank God ... he's raised up great preachers and Christian leaders to come forward and be voices in the wilderness.... even if means getting involved in the political arena.
men like MLK whose non-violent demonstrations and civil disobedience tactics were based on Christ's teachings ....
men like JF ... who have reminded the legislators, judges and executors of this land that we are a Christian nation ... echoing and celebrating biblical principles such as family values, pro-life, anti-homosexuality, morality, etc.

That's great Dan. I think we all need men and women we look to as our leaders.

You're right, Sis Alvear. It led to the Nicene Creed many years ago.

Though you brought up many of JF's past sins and failures, I know that we all have sinned against God. Now, I never agreed with many of the things he did during his lifetime; however, who am I to judge him?
We should pray for his family and stop bashing the man!
