Gov. Robert Bentley Repeats Bible Passage, Gets Attacked

Who is Dr. Robert J. Bentley?

Hey folks,

He is an active member of First Baptist Church (FBC) Tuscaloosa where he serves as a Deacon and Sunday School Teacher. At FBC Tuscaloosa he has been the Chairman of the Board of Deacons four times and a member of the Youth for Christ Advisory Board, as well as the Family Counseling Advisory Board. Dr. Bentley has also served on the State Advisory Board for Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Currently, he serves on the Board of Trustees for Judson College in Marion, Alabama and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Medical Education Consortium which he helped found.

Just Elected Alabama Governor. What is one of the First things he wants to do? Create a Special Session to deal with Ethics.

The Special Session will be held during the first Regular Session, so that there will be no added cost to taxpayers. A Special Session dealing with ethics reform will isolate the issue and allow for the full attention of legislators, media and the public.

In the Special Session we will

1. Ban transfers from one political action committee to another, otherwise known as PAC to PAC transfers. Each time this legislation has come before the Alabama House of Representatives in the past seven years, I have voted in favor of it. Now is the time to pass this piece of legislation. I firmly believe if the people of Alabama change the Legislature in this election, we will finally see an end to PAC to PAC transfers.

2. We must also wholly eliminate the ability of lobbyists to entertain Legislators. At the very least, we must pass laws that require legislators to report every single penny spent, and put a very restrictive cap on how much a lobbyist is allowed to spend on an elected member of the house and senate.

3. Transparency will be the ultimate end result of ethics reform under a Bentley Administration. Every penny given to a candidate should be reported at least weekly. I propose this be done online, where access is readily available and open for public view. These sweeping changes in Alabama's ethics laws must be a priority of the new legislature that voters choose to elect.

4. I expect our new legislature to bring fresh ideas on ethic reform. I will listen and consider the ideas of the new legislature the voters will elect this November.
I know Horrid is it not. Oh, and he made a statement that if your were not Christian, then you are not his Brother of Sister. {Gasp!!}

Yes folks. A CHRISTIAN Sunday School Teacher, in CHURCH, said if you do not have the Spirit of Jesus in you, then you are not his Brother or Sister.
/strong>
You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
We are all God's Children. Just accept everyone as who they are. For we are ALL God's Children. No right, wrong, or indifferent. Just whatever you chose to believe. Right?
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
John 8:41-47 So imagine this, Jesus the CHRIST, tells the Religious Folks back in the day that we are not all God's Children, and that those RELIGIOUS folks, were of the devil, then where did this, we are all God's Children Bunk come from? Uh, yeah.

So now imagine a SUNDAY SCHOOL Teacher. A Christian. Talking to a CHURCH group, in a CHURCH. He repeats what Jesus says, well, not even as strongly, and he is not fit for Governorship? Forget the stupid argument about the First Amendment, that's just a complete waste of time. He was not even attempting to insult anyone. He was attempting to get non-Christians to hear what the Word of God Says. IN A CHURCH. No different than most Christian Denominations that wrap up their Service with "Do you know Christ as your Personal Saviour?" He was at the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Church AFTER the Official Inaugural Ceremony. What he was talking about is that it doesn't matter what Color you are, where you come from, or what you have, that he considered anyone who believed in Jesus to be his Brothers and Sisters. This guy is being attacked for practicing his Faith. But then again, just another example of where it is Open Season on Christianity all year long.

Stand Strong Governor. I AM your Brother. You already told everyone that you are the Governor for all people in Alabama. The PEOPLE Elected you. Be the Governor of all people. Forget these dweebs that hate Christianity and anything God. Let them wallow is their own self pity. Stand Strong in your Faith, and Prove your Critics wrong.

I'll admit I never heard of this guy before today. But he seems like a Good Faith Based Guy. We need MORE Faith Based People in Government. Not the spread of more lies, Cheats, and Thieves. Not more Government as usual. We need more Ethics in Government. Who can really argue his plans? They can't. So they attack his Faith. Sad really.
Peter
