The same way you know in Court.

I BET there was a reason why we are called to be like Christ and NOT like David....

That would be the same reason why we are called not only to be not like David, but also not like any other fallen human either.

Are you saying he was a Christian when he had his drinking problem?

No. And I don't care. There's nothing about anyone saying they're a Christian that should inherently give them credibility or a pass on being an unqualified candidate for a political appointment. But it's thrown out there, by you and others, as if we're supposed to care. We don't. Someone saying they are a Christian holds no weight in and of itself. It doesn't make one special. It doesn't confer special authority, or knowledge. It's meaningless.

And Trump calls himself a Christian.

Hegseth said he believed in Jesus Christ, emphasis on the meaning of NT "belief."

rambot said:
You'll pardon the skepticism of high ranking Republicans claiming they are christian given their history perhaps.

Personally, I'm not overly worried about his sexual dalliances.

I think his rather vengeful retributive outlook (at least in language) on how he'll fill his position is a FAR clearer picture on how he views Christ's teachings.

You seem rather unfamiliar with the history of Israel while under the command of God.

Agreed. . .your difficulty is that it's not about special authority or knowledge.

Lol. And I think that Israel of the OT and the United States of the hear and now are not comparable.

Don't have to be for the principle to be so.

Sure.
You can imagine anything you want ever.

Two Republicans, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, broke ranks with Trump and his allies who have mounted an extensive public campaign to push Hegseth toward confirmation.

But it looks like he'll be confirmed tomorrow 51-49 even with the additional GOP obstruction.

Ratcliffe has been confirmed at CIA (74-25)

That saw cuts both ways.

Doesn't refute the likeness of the principles.

Nobody can refute your opinion, sure.

Whose failure is that?

Still doesn't refute the likeness of the principles. . .

You've had 3 posts to explain what you mean by "principles" and chose not to.

Like, just now? Did he promise to be a good Christian if he's confirmed like he did with his drinking problem?

Requiring Hegseth to be a "good Christian" to get a job with the Federal government would be a blatant violation of the Constitution's "no religious test" clause.

I’m not up on my D.C. protocol, do Secretaries of Defense get invited to a lot of parties?
(If so, this “problem” might fix itself?)

By "principle," I mean the dictionary definition of "principle."

I would have assumed you would have used the dictionary definition.

But you don't delineate which principles are the same.

So in this specific situation what evidence suggests that this man is not lying to get the job?

In this country, one is innocent of lying until proven guilty thereof.

Got any legal proof?

Perfection is not necessary for qualification.
