i am a all over of christ. a follower of christ, which is a christian is. my brother from georgia hit it on the head. it is smoke and mirrors. how is it that you can listen to a man that has set things contrary to what the savior would have done, and being a follower of christ, just the -- i know wesays are all sinners saved by grace. christians a lot of don't agree, but we are all sinners saved by grace. what i see from the podium when they had the party the other day about the health care bill, which has not been defeated yet, all i saw was mainly middle-aged, older white men. tell me where jesus christ is in that, as opposed to the last president when you saw all different cultures. christ-like. all cultures were represented with the former president. you can think what you want about him. not just because he is obama, and i don't know if he is a follower of christ or not. if i had a granddaughter and i had a choice of who to leave her with to babysit, it would not be donald trump. it would be obama. in the 1990's, bill clinton, a a lot of character issu

if they repent and believe in jesus christ, they can be set free from their sins. there talking about that and also about abortion, because there is a lot of high school students involved in fornication, so we could talk to them about abortion and how it is wrong, it is murder. just to be able to engage with them. that is why we were out there. >> tucker: did this guy intimidate you? whatever people think of your message, of course you have an absolute right to express it because it is america, or was any way. did this guy intimidate you? >> a little bit. honestly, that stuff, people have yelled at me before, especially when i have been out in philadelphia and stuff. it wasn't anything that i was too surprised by. it was a little bit intimidated but definitely not too much. >> definitely, i mean, as christians, we are promised practically that we will be persecuted for the name of christ. >> tucker: now, connor, you are wearing a shirt that says "abolitionist" on it. what does that mean? >> i'm not a pro-lifer or anything like that. i want to totally abolish human

they may all agree the resurrection of christ took place here, but the truth is that the six differentns haven't always been ideal housemates in this church. sometimes we didn't agree. there have been fights inside the holy sepulchre, that's for sure. physicalfights? even physicalfights. this may be christianity‘s most important church, but the guy who's got the key is muslim. adeeb, hi. this is the key to this church? this is the holy key of the holy church. how come you have it and yourfamily have it? they gave our family to be the custodian of the holy sepulchre church, and it's going from father to son. the church had previously been destroyed in the early part of the 11th century by the then ruling caliph. and entrusting it to a muslim family sounded like the safest bet to insure it against future attacks. every morning at liam, adeeb opens the door, then has to return to lock it in the evening. he's not paid for this duty. i'm proud about thisjob, and we are here injerusalem — muslims and christians, we are living together. we are brothers here. disaster has struck twice over the

their disagreement over the timing of christ's second coming was the key to their political stances. years, ofheld at 1000 peace and harmony would perceive -- would precede the second coming of christ. in other words, post millennials abilityd hope for the of mankind in the nation. precursorssor, while -- while pre-millennium held doubts. for our purposes, political and theological millenarian is him emerged the pious republicans and slaves while democrats held to a desire to avoid a revolution that claimed to bring about god's kingdom on earth. this difference reinforce the political divide between the republicans and democrats and exacerbated existing racial divisions within the confederacy. refer that to post no and pre-mill. apologies to those who know about that. the title of today's talk comes from reverend cumberland george of culpepper and often valley -- is aa pretty mill pre-mill. he loved it almost as much as puritans and song singers of pious new englanders who love to liberate slaves from the white masters. don't let me get started on those trying to proceed to virginia.

to be really champions for christ.ther you are called to be a missionary overseas, to shepherd a church, or to be a leader in your community, you are living witness of the gospel message of faith, hope, and love. i must tell you, i am so proud as your president to have helped you along over the past short period of time. i said i would do it, and jerry, i did it. a lot of people are happy with what has taken place, especially last week. we did some very importing -- important signings. america is better when people put their faith into action. as long as i am your president no one is ever going to stop you from practicing your faith or from preaching what is in your heart.

instead of using modern challen challenges to show we should be living by the hope we have in chri christ. rod is right to view trump's win as offering a reprieve on religious freedom issues particularly with the sexual conflict though he offers challenges in christian's ability to serve immigrants and the religious freedom of muslims which is tied to our own. one of the -- i want to get to other arguments so i will just state more briefly and perhaps we could discussit a bit later. rod's vision for political engagement is very much con trained by what he views as the possibility of the political engagement we might have. what his analysis lacks is a clear identification on the lack of christian formation evident in the religious right. that the cape wasn't baked before he got involved. that the failure of the religious right wasn't just a culture has gotten ahead of them. but, for instance, rod mentioned how christians treated lgbtq americans as a regrettable mistake. instead it is worth considering whether the left might be more forgiving of our counter culture views on sexuality if he

the 27th amendment and the united states constitution, not one of them are the words "god", jesus, christ, lord, commandments, new .estament, or bible the original constitution of the united states that was ratified in 1789 had only one reference to religion, article six. no religious test shall be required as a qualification. that leads me to say that a freedom to govern. that is my comment. from st. petersburg, florida on the independent line. what is on your mind? caller: actually, the gentleman that just got off the phone was on the money when he said there is not one mention anywhere either in the original or in theon constitution and bill of rights god, christian, or christianity. he is right on the money. he is right all so to say article six specifically says there is to be no religious test for public office. i wanted to add one thing. i can to this last gentleman who , thomaseing right jefferson and james madison were the original people who were responsible for getting the first in virginia, the virginia religious freedom law passed in 1786. on the basis of that, madison was re

i also thought that president trump, whatever his relationship with christ or his church, we heard it during the campaign, two corinthians, ham handedly, that was a funny moment. believing he had such strong support i think among american christians is because they believed that he would be defenders of their faith. it wasn't necessarily about the strength of his faith, it was about his protection of religious freedom and being concerned for the christians in the catholic who live within the united states. i think they're going to take a strong signal from this, i think this entire trip will be one that is probably purging to pope francis, the fact that ultimately the goal of president trump in the united states, leaving a place like israel and palestine talking to those leaders, the beginning of a peace process there. i think all of that, this is a serious man trying to accomplish something that i have an interest in. >> leland: appreciate your insight and analysis as you stay on through the night here in the united states. early morning in vatican city, where pope francis on the pre

. >> this is the church of the holy sepulchre, refers to the tomb of jesus christ.where the gospels tell us principally the gospel of matthew jesus was crucified and body buried in final rest. as all things are in jerusalem it's a political place, too, in that the administration of the church is shared between the greek orthodox and the armenians. there have been actual fist fights over administration of what is now the church that evolved over time. in the history of christianity in the holy land, it's quite interesting that what christians have done over time in holy places they build churches, so the sites of churches are usually where archaeologists, biblical archaeologists have gone to uncover why they are holy, and so this of course goes back thousands of years to understand the first finding of evidence that this was the site of the crucifixion and ultimately the tomb of jesus and then the church was by constantine later built and enlarged over the years. i think it's quite significant as senator mitchell talks about the prospects for peace that you have an a
