Yes, I'm familiar with that rationalization, but our Founding Fathers had the wisdom to name two examples of the sorts of crimes that could trigger impeachment, specifically bribery and treason, so I don't buy the argument that a president who hasn't actually broken the law can still be removed from office.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

More than one hundred influential evangelical Christian leaders sent a letter to the president of the far left magazine Christianity Today, chastising him for publishing a commentary on Thursday calling for the removal of President Trump.
The letter, addressed to Christianity Today president Timothy Dalrymple on Sunday, was signed by well know evangelical Christians, including Dr. James Dobson, former Gov. Mike Huckabee, former head of the Family Research Council Gary Bauer, author Eric Metaxas, and pastors Robert Morris, Tommy Barnett, and Jentezen Franklin.

Billy Graham is no longer with us, and his family has not had anything to do with Christianity Today for quite a while.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

All that said, I would say Christianity Today is fairly moderate (it being referred to as "far left" is quite odd)--but I say that based on the content I've seen from them, not from statements made by people who have no involvement in it anymore.

MM, apparently hasn't read the federalist papers, he doesn't take the Founders thoughts and words outside of the Constitution itself into consideration when interpreting the words put down therein. At least not if it doesn't suit his immediate purpose to do so.

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostThe intentions of a founder of an organization doesn't necessarily carry through, especially after they've died. That's not to say their intentions can't follow through, just that it doesn't necessarily, and thus I don't think you can cite something from Graham himself as representative of the current state of the magazine.
