PRESIDENTIAL SCANDALS -- THEY ALL HAD THEM!

Before you pass judgment on Republican Presidential Nominee, Donald Trump, for his salacious remarks made in a private conversation 11 years ago, I challenge you to engage your common sense regarding presidential qualifications.  

Are we seriously horrified by Trump's remarks when 80 million American women (Christians included!) can't get enough of the pornographic details of 50 Shades of Grey!  And who do you think is to blame for this movie even coming to the big screen in the first  place? 

NOTE:  In the 1950's, this type of movie was condemned by the community and completely boycotted!  

America's most notable Presidents were not Christian. Our founding fathers were mostly Deists and Freemasons.  Bill Clinton's scandals are well-known, and JFK was an habitual womanizer, engaging in morally reprehensible behavior.  And yet, they are hailed as among our great presidents.  

Jimmy Carter touted his Born Again status to win the Evangelical vote in 1976.  He then proceeded to be interviewed by Playboy Magazine and admit that he lusted after women in his heart!  

Ronald Reagan (like Trump) was initially Pro-Choice and later changed to Pro-Life. He was divorced; he neglected to pay his taxes while Governor of California; and he consulted with mediums and astrologers.  So did George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and FDR!  Imagine what other skeletons we'd uncover had there been smart phones, videocams and social media! And yet all were great leaders in their day and are highly regarded by the Christian community. 

Knowing Jesus is a requirement for Heaven--not a requirement to be a successful leader or a good president.  Jesus told us His Kingdom is not of this world, so shouldn't we stop trying to contradict Him and expect the American President to be God-like?

"My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. 
But now my kingdom is from another place." ~ John 18:36
