WASHINGTON -- Former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders became agitated and hostile on Wednesday during the questioning of Deputy Budget Director nominee Russell Vought, as he noted a social media post written by Vought that remarked that Muslims “do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ his Son, and they stand condemned.”
Sanders began by reading a joint letter from the Arab American Institute, Bend the Arc Jewish Action, and Muslim Advocates, which expressed objection to Vought’s nomination because he had “denigrated Muslims” and therefore has shown “hostility to religious pluralism.”
He then pointed to a portion of an article written by Vought last January in response to the Wheaton College controversy surrounding then-professor Larycia Hawkins’ assertion that Christians and Muslims “worship the same God.”

One day Bernie Sanders will stand before the Judge of the universe and unless he has believed in God's only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ he will stand condemned. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" - John 3:18.
The Verdict in God's Courtroom by Mike Gendron
Those who are condemned because they broke God's holy law will one day face divine justice at the great white throne judgment. The only way of escape is to trust God's perfect man and man's perfect God - the Lord Jesus Christ! He satisfied divine justice for all who repent and believe in Him. Those who desire to be justified (declared righteous) must believe that God justifies...
by His grace, not by your merit
by His finished work, not by your works
by His gift of faith, not by your baptism
by His righteousness, not not by your righteousness
by His one offering for sin, not by your offerings
by His blood, not by your indulgences or purgatory
by His perfect obedience not by your obedience
by what He has done, not by what you do.
Those who have been justified by God have this great promise: There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
