I agree with the Pastor’s point but not for the theological reasons he states. Still, credit is due and his flock should heed his sage advice.

Trump Made $300,000 for Endorsing Bible, Financial Disclosure Shows

He is the closest thing on Earth to a God, so makes sense he should be getting paid to endorse a book he partially wrote. LOL

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

@Jolly I agree. It is a non-issue. But it is funny.
I don't know what would be a good analogy. Maybe someone here can fill in the blank

No, bringing it up multiple times is not passing conversation, it's a perceived issue looking for an audience or affirmation.
Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining...

@Jolly LOL
How many times on this forum board has been referenced VP Harris "allegedly" sleeping around? Are people not looking for an audience of affirmation?
I think that a serial adulterer who has been found guilty in civil court of sexual assault and yet endorses a Bible is open to the same "ridicule".

Confirmed teetotaler Trump endorsed vodka, the same drug that killed his brother at the age of 42.
In his defence, I don't think there's much connection with the stuff he puts his name to.

@Jolly said in Trump Sells $59.99 Bible:
You equate endorsing a bible with using sex to further a political career?
Are you out of your rabid-arse mind?
LOL. Just not sure why there is the outrage about making fun of President Trump (of all people) when he endorses a Bible. I think it is pretty funny.

I don't think anyone has accused her of "sleeping around." unless you consider having an affair qualifies as "sleeping around."
Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown addressed his past relationship with Sen. Kamala Harris in a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday and acknowledged giving her appointments that furthered her career.
"Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago," wrote Brown, who said he had "been peppered with calls from the national media about my 'relationship' with Kamala Harris, particularly since it became obvious that she was going to run for president."
Harris' office did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment on Brown's letter to the Chronicle.
Brown was married at the time he and Harris dated, but – because he had been "estranged from his wife" Blanche Brown since 1981, according to People magazine –the relationship was not kept secret. A Sacramento Bee reporter told People that Brown "had a succession of girlfriends" and would "go to a party with his wife on one arm and his girlfriend on the other.”
Although Brown supported Harris in her successful 2003 run for San Francisco district attorney, she tried to distance herself from him in that race, telling SF Weekly that Brown – whose career was dogged by corruption allegations – was an "albatross hanging around my neck."
"His career is over; I will be alive and kicking for the next 40 years. I do not owe him a thing," she told SF Weekly, vowing, "If there is corruption, it will be prosecuted."
Among the issues that followed Harris from her time with Brown was the allegation of cronyism in his appointment of her to two well-paying posts.
"Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker," Brown wrote Saturday. Brown was the speaker from 1980 to 1995, prior to his stint as San Francisco mayor.
Brown appointed Harris to the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and then to the Medical Assistance Commission – positions that paid her more than $400,000 over five years, according to SF Weekly. Brown also gave Harris a BMW.
"And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco," he said in his Chronicle letter Saturday..
"I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians," he added.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The double standard applied to her behaviour by some of Trump's supporters is quite interesting.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Why?
Did you screw your way into your job?

Based on various HR mandated training on sexual harassment that I have gone through, it would seem like Mayor Brown is the one who should be in trouble. (assuming of course, his help to her career was based on her either going out with him or sexual requirements.)
She is really not in the wrong in any way.
Not knowing exactly the situation, difficult to say.

Agreed. But this was 20 or so years ago. And Brown admitted, at least tacitly, that their relationship was helpful to her relationship with him. Nothing sexual was overtly stated. They just (cough) "dated."
She is really not in the wrong in any way.
"Wrong?" Perhaps not. "Qualified" is another question. Did she climb the ladder because of her relationship with Brown?
Not knowing exactly the situation, difficult to say.
Yes. You wouldn't want it to be weird in any way.

If it's ok for Trump to boast about getting away with sexually assaulting women because he's famous, I don't really see what the problem is here.
