    The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.


    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      true that...

      • 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.

          • 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.

              My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

              If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

              This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                There was no federal law against bribery at the time. So the Founding Fathers were definitely not trying to imply that impeachment should be done against someone who had broken specific laws.

                  Can we all just take a breath and enjoy the level of insanity that has overtaken Trump supporters for them to be calling Christianity Today a "far left magazine".

                      Billy Graham is no longer with us, and his family has not had anything to do with Christianity Today for quite a while.

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.

                        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.

                          That was one doozy of a quote-mine by Tazz I think I've ever seen from anyone here in awhile.

                            • 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.

                                Nevertheless, Billy Graham once warned evangelicals they 'can't be closely identified with any particular party or person.'

                                Agreed.
