Well perhaps being in prison would result in this man being saved. At present he is the pastor of a very Charismatic church. That means they believe in the below among other things:

I don't know this pastor or what he believes or not.
But I do know enough about the "Charismatics there can be a and often is a wide range of what they believe and approve of.

Perhaps, you and I can pray for him, even that God would use him and others despite their faults for His glory and as a testimony to bring sinners to repentence and genuine faith in Christ to be saved from sin and belong forever to Him

""who believe it is important to “recommit to principles of freedom that inspire peaceful coexistence rather than division”.""

Isn't this imitating "Evangelicals and Catholics Together"???
Ecumenicalism???
Does this debate boil down to who has the best arguments? or debaters?

Sometimes division is good - even necessary.

EG: Protestant versus Roman Catholic!!!
EG: Orthodox versus Liberalist!!!
2Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of."

Murder is murder.

I feel zero conviction to argue, picket, or try to 'win them over' to salvation.

Second
Zero conviction? or do you mean "feelings"
Either way you just might have a problem

For the witness, picket outside an abortion clinic, or any other dark, dangerous and unpleasant place [to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom of the Risen Son of God, Jesus Christ] isn't for your feelings, it is for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake

as it is written:
Deliver those who are drawn toward death,
And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.
If you say, “Surely we did not know this,”
Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?

Dr Tim, very well said!

For those who prefer the NASB:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “You shall also say to the sons of Israel:

‘Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel who gives any of his offspring to Molech (as a human sacrifice), shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones. I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given some of his offspring to Molech (literally a sacrifice to a devil), so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy name.

If the people of the land, however, should ever disregard that man when he gives any of his offspring to Molech, so as not to put him to death, then I Myself will set My face against that man and against his family, and I will cut off from among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot (go whoring) after Molech.
Leviticus 20:1-5

So, Mike, it's more of an immoral choice both for religious or for secular reasons to pick the the Republicans over the Democrats, especially in

It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to know abortion is the murder of children. Why, even 10 & 12 year olds can understand this.

Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.
Pro 28:4

The antiChrst, antiGod, proabortion, pro homosexuality platform of the Democratic Party you love is evil and wicked to the core

Watch the movie, Babies are Still Murdered Here (@ this time it can be found on YouTube)

Watch it again with much prayer and Bible study untill God's will and wisdom are part of you

Insist your Pastor and those in your church's leadership watch it, and if they blow it off, taking a public stand against abortion, remember it is a Gospel issue, leave, such "leaders do err and those who are led by them are destroyed" Isa 9:16

It's nice and comfortable to think that America is morally superior to regimes like Nazi Germany and Stalin's Russia. Sadly, our nation has shed far more innocent blood than those tyrannical juggernauts ever did. It is a sign of the times to see that any "christian" thinks it's okay for the civil authority to turn a blind eye to such horrors.

I am praying that the coivd 19 will go away so that we can have church again.

Let me ask you, what were you meetings like before Covid?

Did you all experience the Holy Presence and Power of the Spirit? Where you seeing sinners thoroughly saved from sin with no doubt they had been changed by God and for God? Was your church salt and light in your community standing for the Truth against evil.

I think probably not... extremely few if any in the US are

So, let me plead with you and all of us to pray deeper than asking Covid go away so we can go back to church as usual

Please fervantly pray for Revial

And for encouagement, 'Blessed is the one who hungers and thirsts for Righteousness, in this case and time, a true sovereign work of God's grace and mercy.'

We can get a taste of what it is in the testimknies of the eye witness accounts of the Revival on the Isle of Lewis (Mary Peckham & Duncan Campbell, here on SermonAudio)

The below was part of an earlier SA news thread.
Moralistic Therapeutic Theism.
“As described by Smith and his team, Moralistic Therapeutic Deism consists of beliefs like these: 1. "A god exists who created and ordered the world and watches over human life on earth." 2. "God wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other, as taught in the Bible and by most world religions." 3. "The central goal of life is to be happy and to feel good about oneself." 4. "God does not need to be particularly involved in one's life except when God is needed to resolve a problem." 5. "Good people go to heaven when they die."
I believe that cultural Christianity is the true nemesis of the genuine faith. And I believe that the vast majority in the U.S., have the above thoughts. They just use the name of Christ; instead of Buddha or Allah because of the culture they were raised in.

Biden will pick the one who has been assigned to him to pick. The one the Dems have already chosen to be president behind figurehead Joe, should we have the tragic misfortune of seeing Him win the presidency. Biden is incoherent much of the time. Anyone think the Dems actually want him in the White House? They are letting him run because he still has an air of moderation. It's only an air, but the rest don't even have that, without which they cannot hope to win.

Mr. Lincoln, stop making light of Scripture! That's a dangerous thing to do. Psalm 138:2 says," I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." Don't disrespect God's word!

For me it was a MAJOR part of God bringing me to repent and put my faith in Jesus Christ as real, the Son of God, my Lord who died and rose again to save me from my sins, and Yes worthy of arrest, imprisonment and death.

Well said brother! The antichrist will need the support of women and since I believe the Vatican is the great whore in Revelations, this doesn't surprise me.
I remember as a youth praying to Mary so she would tell her son to do what I asked. They taught that no son would refuse his mother's request. They have always supported praying to Mary and others the popes have designated as saints. So this doesn't surprise me.

BMc, I concur fully with JUK’s assessment of your post.

Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’

And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other;

for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Luke 18:9-14

Don't you just love Jesus! In Him we are So Forgiven and bear no condemnation even though we would have so deserved it. Time for a song!
