Christ First Forum

I was intrigued by Herman Cain when I first saw a video of him over a year ago. I liked him. He appeared to be a man of prayer and he said he was prayerfully seeking God's will regarding a presidential run. I have liked what I've seen in Mr. Cain, even though I was concerned about the 999 plan (how would low income people afford an additional 9% sales tax?)

When the women began coming forward with accusations, I was more troubled by Cain's propensity to put himself in a situation that was "questionable" than I was by the truth/non-truth of the accusations. I kept telling my husband, "See how women take things?" It isn't always what the man intends but women perceive things about men (especially men in positions of leadership) that may or may not be true.

A beloved pastor of ours was brought down and destroyed by women. His arrogance and conceit were his undoing. He refused to recognize that women in the church were seducing him into affairs of the heart. I see this same attitude in Herman Cain. I believe his extraordinary poor judgment of character would make him an unacceptable candidate for president, even if he is innocent of the accusations against him.

Janlyn...I still don't 'count' him out yet...

I don't believe these women,and I, personally, believe it's a 'set up' on him...

We will never know the 'truth',but Gingrich had an affair with his current wife for 6 or more years,but no one is concern about it...

That's because Romney and Gingrich is who the Democrats want because they both are really liberal, progressive Republicans...

I don't like Perry's stand on 'immigration',but we do have 'part time' government in Texas, which he wants for the federal government if elected...

He wants to give them less money, too...

The sheriff out of Az is supporting Perry, too, so I figure he knows more than I do on our borders...

ANYBODY will be better than O,but to me, Gingrich and Romney are copies of O...

As a believer and a pastor, Cain is held to a higher standard. This does not mean I've "written him off" but I don't believe anyone will beat 'O'. That man will lie, cheat, steal and more, to stay where he is. He is our nation's judgment.

But I would be delighted to be proven wrong. Just in case I'm not, I've been praying for the "right" man to go all the way to the general election and rip 'O' in the debates. If that's all we get, it's all we get. God have mercy.

(Of course Cain was set-up. I suspect Axelrod-and-thugs are behind the whole thing. If God wants Cain to continue on then so be it. A lot may hinge on Cain's meeting with his wife tomorrow, which I will be praying about.)

Well, Cain's candidacy is a moot point now. God will not be mocked.

So Sad! I will pray for him and his family. Amen! God will not be mocked!

As far as I'm conscerned if Herman Cain is mocking God he pales in comparison like Edgar Winter at a rap music convention compaired to that grand Southern Baptist ex president Bill the serial sexual preditor-rapist-sexual abuser Clinton or our fine Christian example of Barak Husein Obama who condones and supports abortion is pro gay anti american anti freedom and pro socialisn just to name a few of his "Christian" values.

Don, I am not being harsh with Cain while I let the others get a free pass. I am thinking Cain is a believer, like us, not like the "pretenders" you mention. I think those of us who are believers are not fooled by the others.

I'm afraid anything else I would say about Cain would sound judgmental. It's just a sad situation all around and Cain and his wife need prayer.

Amen, Frank, amen.

I truly believe that we are at the end of the Church age and America will continue it's downward spin into a 3rd world status. This can only be done by the likes of Obama who God placed, or allowed him to be placed, in his current position. I don't believe that a good, God fearing man will ever be elected to the presidency. There is no one to vote for in 2012 as it stands now. Rick Perry is part of the Emergent Church movement and is, therefore, not a good choice either. Perhaps we'll be raptured before we have to vote :)))

I guess we will never know the 'truth' about Cain, but God does...

His 'farewell speech' said he was 'right' with God; 'right' with his family, and 'right' with his wife...

Sounded like 'repentance' to me,and he's the one who suffer the consequences 'if' he had an affair with this last lady...

I don't believe the other women or the 'woman lawyer' who brought out all of this garable about Cain...

It's a 'known' fact that Gingrich had an affair with his current wife while he was married, but Cain is the one who was judge...

A Conservative 'black' cannot win today because America is just too far gone...

As far as Rick Perry being part of the Emergent Church, I don't believe it...

Just like when I went to my small town's National Day of Prayer, we had quite a few of false deacons and preachers...

I could be 'judge' or 'associated' by just attending,but I can tell you, I will NEVER go back...

When you have a National Day of Prayer NOW, you are inviting ALL religions today of America...and I think that's how Perry got label...

My very conservative Christian radio station was participating in this 'prayer time',but that doesn't mean they are part of the Emergent Church...

I've personally heard Perry's testimony when he accepted Christ,and I KNOW Perry being he's our longest running governor...not personally, but WHAT he has done for this state...

I'm disappointed with his 'amnesty policy',but still, I will vote for him, because I'm disappointed with them ALL...

If we don't get this current administration out, we will dearly suffer until the Lord comes for His Bride...
