Sweet Penitentiary<\/em> Alabama!<\/p>\n

The people of Alabama elected a real loving guy to be their new governor!<\/p>\n

According to CBS News…<\/p>\n

Alabama Republican Governor Robert Bentley said in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day message Monday that he does not consider Americans who do not accept Jesus Christ as their savior to be his brothers and sisters.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s JUST like Jesus…<\/p>\n

“Anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I’m telling you, you’re not my brother and you’re not my sister, and I want to be your brother,” Bentley said Monday.<\/em><\/p>\n

“There may be some people here today who do not have living within them the Holy Spirit,” Bentley said shortly after taking the oath of office, according to the Birmingham News. ”But if you have been adopted in God’s family like I have, and like you have if you’re a Christian and if you’re saved, and the Holy Spirit lives within you just like the Holy Spirit lives within me, then you know what that makes? It makes you and me brothers. And it makes you and me brother and sister.”<\/em><\/p>\n

”Now I will have to say that, if we don’t have the same daddy, we’re not brothers and sisters,” he continued. “So anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I’m telling you, you’re not my brother and you’re not my sister, and I want to be your brother.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh see? If you become a Christian, Robert Bentley will be your brother! Who wants Robert Bentley as their brother?!<\/p>\n

Do you?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
