It was a wonderful read and I will bookmark this article and apply it to my and family’s lives. God Bless you man of God!

Thanks. I’m gonna have to google a bunch of them to figure out what they actually mean. But I appreciate you listing them here.

But you didn’t share any actual thoughts, Tom. You just questioned whether quoting Newbigin was apropos the situation with the White House dinner and whether my references to his work were from a reliable source. Questioning whether someone can even say something isn’t a counter argument. So when you say you see no value in “debating” this further, you overlook the fact that we haven’t actually been having a debate. Other than the fact that you don’t like President Obama, I have no idea what you think of Newbigin’s vision for engaging Western society and culture with the teachings of Christ.

Here are some examples…
1. The nomination of Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court will impact Constitutional religious liberty for the next 30 years based on their track records on these issues as lower court judges..
2. In May 2017, Trump signed an executive order enhancing religious freedom (see Little Sisters of the Poor and Obamacare mandates).
3. In October 2017, the Department of Justice issued twenty principles of religious liberty to guide the Administration’s litigation strategy.
4. In January 2018, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) formed a Conscience and Religious Freedom Division, to more effectively enforce existing laws protecting rights of conscience and religious freedom.
5. The President has reversed an Obama administration policy which denied disaster aid to houses of worship for them to respond to natural disasters.
6. Trump reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy which prevents 9 Billion USD in foreign aid from funding the abortion industry and its advocates.

I could go on, but I think I made my point.

Brother, my doctoral research included studies in Newbigin’s work. I think I’ve got a pretty good idea what he was addressing and it’s exactly the situation i refer to in my post. When you say it’s okay to disagree with what I wrote, that’s true. But you haven’t posed a point of disagreement. You haven’t shown me my interpretation of Newbigin is incorrect in any way. You’ve just told me I have no right to quote him in this situation, which I think is plainly wrong. I suspect you haven’t read him in much depth. And I’m afraid your views on Obama are irrelevant in this instance.

Yes I’m saying just that Michael. Why would you even pose the question what would Newbigin would think.?How do you know for sure what was said? Where you there? Or are you trusting a assumed reliable source. I can’t see how your post about President Trump helps Christians or this country of America. Yes I am very much aware you are not from America. I also know who Newbigin is. Michael is just my opinion to your post,don’t take it as a personal attack on your character brother. I disagree with what you posted and I think of your going to put it out there you can expect others to disagree. As a side note. This President has done more for this country than any other president has in all the years I have been voting. I’m so happy we don’t have Obama.

Blessings Michael
