In a couple of the comments I see theme that I’d like to address with fellow conservative Christians. We need to remember that while our constitution was written for a “moral an educated populace,” we are not a theocracy. The Bible tells us that Christians are judged differently than non-Christians, so we can’t hold unbelievers to the same standards we’re held to. While to me marriage is a sacrament, under the law of our land it is a tax protected status. If I want the legal protection of marriage under the law, I have to be willing to give it to other people who do not hold it in the same regard that I do. These are constitutional right’s that exist simply because we’re created with inherent rights and value. We are given the choice to follow God or not and our humans rights are not contingent on that. Every person alive has a sin issue in their life, is a constant work in progress from cradle to the grave, and is redeemed only by the blood of Jesus. The judgment that conservatives keep upon people as soon as they say they’re gay is horrifying. I is soon as a person has a known sin issue in their life if they become persona non grata in every person alive by that logic is persona non grata.

I can think that President Trump is the best candidate that I can vote for in this coming election, and acknowledge that his past is questionable, with extremely questionable associations. When we as Christians find where we can connect with people and advance, a good cause while holding onto truth, we allow Jesus to do the work of changing peoples lives. Just like Judge McAfee is playing 4D chess, Jesus plays 1 million D chess. King David was said to be a man after gods own heart, yet he was a adulterer, murderer and had family issues. How can we

look at David of the Bible and see how God used him, then in the next breath look at Scott and say, “ He’s gay, no way!!” ?!?

💯 percent agree. Whether or not Scott Pressler is gay makes no difference to the impact he is having on the R campaign. God is still using him for good. And, furthermore, in no way do I consider it my place to judge him either way he leans. I will pray for God's will to be over him and Scott Pressler will find his way. I'm not in agreement with the gay lifestyle and consider it sinnful, but I don't feel it's right to treat them as less than human or in hate. I don't associate with those gays that are vile and in your face gay as I find it repulsive, but I do have a few gay friends and a couple family members that respect me as I do them. I feel Mr. Pressler is respectful to others in that respect and he aligns with conservatives and Christians on some of the most important issues and desperately wants what is best for our beautiful country. If he's gay, he hides it well enough.
