When Donald Trump sought the presidency, no one mistook the famous billionaire playboy for a desert mystic (and still wouldn’t). Yet we now have to “acknowledge how rare it has been to have, in President Trump, a chief executive who seems honestly to care about religious liberty and the rights of conscience,” writes Davidson.
“At the same time, it’s unnerving to think how diametrically opposed to this view the incoming Biden administration will be,” he also laments. “Although he professes to be Catholic, Biden has already indicated he will once again target religious groups like the Little Sisters of the Poor, as the Obama administration did, in an attempt to force such religious orders to participate in state-funded abortion.”
“And Biden’s soon-to-be vice president, Kamala Harris, is an open anti-Catholic bigot. She infamously imposed an unconstitutional religious test on a nominee for the...
It’s coming Wayfarer. Things look bleak, Indeed. I also want to let you know that I pray for you and your son( even though I’m not very active on here posting, I read the comments most every day.)
Jim is utterly and unequivocally opposed to preachers getting involved in any aspect of politics, Mike. Except, of course, black liberal baby-murdering preachers.

Aren’t you concerned that this Democrat pastor will try to force the kingdom on others, what with getting involved in politics and such?
All he needed was the one vote from his mother. Thank God Georgians didnt waste an afternoon to vote in a sham election, and on fake loser GOP's. These GOP's should have been leading the rally's and protests to stand up for the people. Instead, they were caught trying to nuzzle up to "work with Biden," until they had some sort of awakening "for Trump." There's already enough of these swampy "republicans," which are democrats by another name anyways.
My only concern is that they may try to divert the fraud attention here where they set up some fraud to make it look inconsequential overall, obscuring the criminal fraud that happened in the big election
Say, this is getting entertaining. Ossoff is likely to be the winner of the other Senate race according to the New York Times❗

I believe the Electoral College vote report to the Senate starts at 11:30/12:30 EST on PBS anyway. I don't know how much I'm going to bother to watch that.
AP/Reuters wrote: Democrat Raphael Warnock has won one of two runoff elections for the US Senate being held in Georgia, according to multiple US media outlets including the Associated Press, NBC News and CNN.
Key points:
•Democrats need to win both races to take the Senate majority and control of the new Congress when Mr Biden takes office
•Democratic candidate Reverend Raphael Warnock said he would be going to the Senate, though no major news outlet had called a winner
•His rival, Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler, says she still has a path to victory
The pastor, who spent the past 15 years leading the Atlanta church where Martin Luther King Junior once preached, is projected to become the first Black senator in his state's history and puts a Senate majority within the Democrats' reach....

There are indeed Presbyterian fundamentalists still around today. I know some who either are or think they are. Same situation for Methodists. Check out the American Council of Christian Churches. They have a list.
Between the Presbyterians and the IFBs, the IFBs are friendlier and display the fruit of the Spirit more readily in general.
3rd national English lockdown, which PM Johnson has already declared, until mid February, and possibly later, (4th for the city of Leicester which had an extra special local lockdown in late summer / early Autumn). Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland already are confirmed in theirs, with minimal debate in their assemblies or parliaments, and in Scotland churches are closed yet again. In the House of Commons, the Labour “opposition”, which believes in both lockdowns, the testing using flawed and ultra sensitive PCR tests which give false positives, and the useless, abortion tissue DNA changing and dangerous mass vaccination programme, will fully support the government, while many of PM Johnson’s own Conservative MPs will vigorously oppose it. Our economy is being destroyed, our civil liberties scrapped, our churches restricted or closed, and for what? A flu like disease which kills about 0.001% of people that get it, mostly very elderly and frail people, and other people who already have major health problems, and to get us ready for the Great Reset of Klaus Schwab and the WEF, and the UN 2021 / 2030 Agenda of “Sustainable Growth” and “Climate Change”, basically depopulation and the “Green New Deal”. Romans 1:18-32, Psalms 2, 73 and 139 come to mind here.
Despite church closures, or churches meeting under severe restrictions (masks, no congregational singing, no wind or brass instruments, tape, closed off pews, no baptism by immersion, or private infant baptisms by sprinkling only as a private service, number limits, private weddings and funerals with tiny numbers only, communion in one kind with no common cup, or must use disposable multiple single cups or not at all, no hymn books or Bibles to be given out, no fellowship, no Sunday school, no church meals or anything remotely social, no home Bible studies or pastoral visitation, time limits on services, people who visit having to obtain a ticket, or give track and trace details, and have to sit on their own, churches having to produce a 32 page risk assessment document on how they will obey the COVID 19 regulations and “be safe”, sanitiser, all these requirements we have in most of Britain), we need to pray regarding what is going on. I am certainly praying for you folks in the USA, as in other countries too, as your Congress to either challenge or confirm the wicked Biden / Harris presidency, and either approve the cheating traitorous false balance (Proverbs 11:1), or refuse it!! In Britain, as far as England goes, we have a retrospective debate in the House of Commons, on the
Yes, Neil, it was fairly common in the past for fundamentalists to be Presbyterian. I doubt if you’d find many today, though, if any at all. I don’t know that I would necessarily agree that many of what we consider the fundamentals of the faith are necessarily of the “reformed tradition.” Rather, they are of the biblicist tradition that existed prior to and concurrently with the Reformation.
Neil wrote: "One doesn't need credentials to do such things."
Now, Neil, we can't go aorund exposing logical fallacies such as appeal to authority. It doesn't sit well with the high and mighties to hear that peasants are capable of intellectual thoughts as well.
Jim, once again you just spout things without adequate proof. Defamation of character.
Dr. Tim wrote: Oliver B. Greene has written a number of commentaries. For scholarship one would be hard-pressed to beat Reuben A. Torrey.
OK, thanks! So Torrey contributed to "The Fundamentals." Google Books says some of these are of the Reformed tradition! Would you agree?
It does remind me that early 20th-century Fundamentalism was interdenominational. Billy Sunday was Presby, yet like the later Billy, apparently refrained from criticizing Catholicism.
