Talk and actions are different. I believe Trump has NEVER done anything he needs to be forgiven for. I also believe, as a military man, Flynn followed orders and many missions he did not 'personally agree with'. I also believe Flynn has evolved over time, has regrets and is now on a mission to destroy those that directed our military to engage in heinous activities unrelated to defending America or its people.
Trump's comment was made long before he beame president and was his respose to the question " Have you ever asked God for forgiveness? " FYI " All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 This should be every Christians response to that question. Yes " talk and actions are differnent " as you wrote. There was no clarity problem only a response problem. Trump was appearing on a Christian program at the time. His answer " That's a tough question. I don't think in terms...I'm a religious person, shockingly, and I say that because people are shocked when they find this out. I'm a protestant, I'm presbyterian and I go to church and I love God and I love my church and Norman Vincent Peale is my paster, the great Norman Vincent Peale was my paster, The power of positive thinking. Everybody's heard of Norman Vincent Peale. He was so great. He would give a sermon. You never wanted to leave. Sometimes we hear sermons and sometimes we might want to leave a little early even though we're Christian. Doctor Norman Vincent Peale, Frank, would give a sermon...I'm telling you I still remember his sermons, it's was unbelievable, and what he would do is he would bring real situations, modern day situations into the sermon and you could listen to him all day long. When you left the church you were disapointed that it was over. He was the greatest guy and then he passed away. He wrote ' The power of possitive thinking which is a grea book." At this point Frank returns to his original question. " But, have you ever asked God for forgiveness?" At this point the audience laughs, in reaction to the scawl on Trumps face. He waits a second allowing the laughter to fade... His answer: ' I'm not sure I have. I just go on and try and do a better job from there. I don't think so. If do something wrong I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. Now when I go into church and I drink my little wine, which is about the only wine I drink and I take the little cracker I 'guess' that's a sorta form of asking for forgiveness? I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed, ok? " He then says that he could say 'abslutely' but he doesn't think in those terms, he just moves forward saying " Let's make it right." My question is 'cleansed from what if not from sin?' The step in accepting Christ is recognizing sin and asking forgiveness.
