There is plenty of biblical support for holding followers of Jesus accountable. Weird that a self proclaimed “true” Catholic doesn’t know this. It doesn’t take a biblical scholar to realize Trump is the antithesis of all of Christianity. But here you go. Matthew 18:15-17 ESV “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Paul in 1 Corinthians 5:9-12 says this: 9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[a] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? Paul clearly is stating that we don’t judge outsiders but as for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ we do indeed judge them – or more appropriately, hold them accountable to the teachings of Christ. |
I don’t make the rules. |
Trump had sexual relationships outside of marriage. |
Vance must have been inspired by Biden. |
Biden literally goes to Catholic Mass every Sunday. And he’s a good and decent person. Trump is an immoral conman and yet so-called Christians think he’s their savior. It’s grotesque. |
But more people want the teachers to follow the teachings. |
Yup. Rs are lying liars who lie to get what they want. |
Yes, exactly! I am not a Christian and cannot understand why they support Trump. He cheated on multiple spouses, is a liar, has said various recorded disgusting things about women, is a rapist, etc, yet…Christians support him? Why? I am so upset over this election that it is taking all my self control not to just type out what suddenly occurred to me about what is familiar and comforting about Trump and his team to the Catholics. I’ll see myself out now. |
You follow the rules made by men. There is no spirituality in you. Smart of Usha to be diplomatic. |
No I don't, JD Vance is supposed too though. |
Do you have stats for that? Didn’t think so. |
I agree it is her business. But Hindus can and do convert, sometimes absolutely, sometimes with interior reservations. |
This is not Catholic teaching. And you have no idea whether or not the pre-conversion marriage was subsequently convalidated (“blessed”) by the Church. |
They are not married in the Catholic church and she has not converted and they have not received a dispensation to marry in the Catholic church, hence they are living in sin. I don't care if they live in sin, i'm just saying they are. Just like divorced and remarried people and gay people. Living in sin, according to the Catholic church. No COMMUNION for you! |
