@hankgreen The people, or the videos, or perhaps both!?

@NotChromboG Wooooo! Happy new year kiddo

@timkellernyc While there may be some truth in this it is not the whole truth.

Waiting for the right person who also shares your faith can be extremely lonely too.

Over simplified statements like this risk making single Christians feel even more alone.

Yes yes yes

[Rob Laycock @Rob_Laycock]

@CSLewisDaily Each of those points warrants an honest and rigerous discussion between Christians with views on both sides.

That article was sadly very far from from that.

@SarahKi58767732 @JamesWoodfield @JustinWelby Those in power being the public who voted by a majority to leave the EU?

@timkellernyc I think the conversation is more honest and interesting when we start "as we are already conformed to our culture..."

@peteenns @EasternU My wife told me she got it... But she won't let on!

@CSLewisDaily A truly universal church will always look and sound as different as the people in it.

Suggesting there is a right way for Christians to worship is as ridiculous as suggesting there is a right language for Christians to speak.

[Rob Laycock @Rob_Laycock]

@ultrakl3 @FoxNewsMom @CSLewisDaily Sure, vote for someone with policies you agree with, totally get that!

I guess what confused me is why trump supporters can't also critisize him in a meaningful way.

As Christians should we get to pick and choose which moral issues we care about?

[Rob Laycock @Rob_Laycock]

@ultrakl3 @FoxNewsMom @CSLewisDaily Yup I guess that's what a lot of people would say, even non religious people.

I guess I'm trying to work out if being a Christian makes any difference when we choose our leaders then?

[Rob Laycock @Rob_Laycock]

@michaelgungor Tricky as how you define hell has a lot of scope!

[Rob Laycock @Rob_Laycock]

@ultrakl3 @FoxNewsMom @CSLewisDaily Cool, thanks for your view, really interesting.

My question is, as Christians what's the balance between being successful and being moral.

If trump has serious moral failings would they be worth ignoring or downplaying if he was successfully achieving things you listed?

[Rob Laycock @Rob_Laycock]

@ultrakl3 @FoxNewsMom @CSLewisDaily So back to the questions why do some Christians back trump, my point is if you just say he's Gods man you duck the question.

Just be honest and list the qualities that make you decide he is worth supporting.

Then we can have an actual conversation.

Some people claim the Sistine Chapel is the peak of human made beauty.

Wrong. It’s Viennetta being made:

[Rob Laycock @Rob_Laycock]

@ultrakl3 @FoxNewsMom @CSLewisDaily Exactly!

So using this same logic God got Obama elected.

@michaelgungor @mikemchargue I would love a cultural historians opinion... Would this question have even mattered at the time or are we just living in an unusually sex soaked culture so it seems like a legit interesting question to us (me included)?

[Rob Laycock @Rob_Laycock]

@FoxNewsMom @CSLewisDaily I'm challenging the use of a biblical defense of trump saying God can use anyone regardless of their moral failings.

It's a bad argument coz God could equally use Hillary!

[Rob Laycock @Rob_Laycock]

@FoxNewsMom @CSLewisDaily That biblical justification works equally well for Hillary Clinton.
