I've said it before but I'll say it again, I am VERY skeptical of anyone who claims to be "a man of God." Pence is one example and he turned out to be a snake. Mike Huckabee is another example, as demonstrated by his inability to resist blaming Trump for the events of January 6th. Others like Romney make it easier on us to tell the difference between a true, God-fearing Christian and someone who just uses God's name to get ahead.
This might sound off, but christians that are too upright make me skeptical. It's not that we shouldn't live righteously, but many christians seem to be more concerned with the appearance of righteousness and how they are perceived by others. We can't judge their hearts, but if you think about the Pharisees they were rebuked for "teaching as doctrines the commandments of men". They were more concerned with being approved by men than they were of being approved by God. Pence has always come across to me as someone who isn't going to have your back when things get difficult because he cares too much about how he is perceived. I'm not trying to slander Pence. I don't know what his internal thoughts and intentions are, but he attended the inauguration of a cheater and I suspect it's because he believed that was the politically favorable option, not the right one. The guy who doesn't appear upright though, Trump, is the one fighting for righteous legislation and standing against anyone coming against him regardless of how it tarnishes his reputation.
