As a frustrated Christian, I think I’d say it’s most accurate to say that Trump embodies Conservatives, Republicans, and Evangelicals, all of whom have apparently no clear code of conduct or definition beyond “seize power, worship the perceived strong man, crush the marginalized.”
Christian, though…there’s a least a definition there (“follower of Christ”) that excludes Trump — not only does Trump not care at all about Christ except as an incantation to get votes, but he directly contradicts the things Christ taught.
Exactly. These people are not Christians. They act exactly like the people Jesus rebuked for being hypocrites. It’s uncanny.
I’m Jewish, not Christian so I’m not too up to speed on Christ. I also don’t believe in the anti-Christ. That being said, there was an article a while back that laid out all the qualities that the anti-Christ will supposedly have. Trump embodied all of them.
Like I said, I don’t believe in an anti-Christ, but if I was told that the anti-Christ not only existed, but was alive right now, I’d wager on it being Donald Trump.
right? the swedish curch gets it right: god has infinite compassion and jesus preached of acceptance, thus the logical conclusion is that a good christian is compassionate and accepting, which is the polar opposite of trump and a depressing amount of people who claim to be christian…
the bible says Jesus told his fans that they can’t be his disciple unless they hate their family. also something about obeying their master. sounds very Trumpian to me. but then again, there are no “true” Scotsman, are there? 😜
“the bible says Jesus told his fans that they can’t be his disciple unless they hate their family”
No, it says you shouldn’t love your family more than Him. That doesn’t mean you have to hate your family
here’s the verse I’m referencing. nothing is said about loving them more than him. the word ‘love’ isn’t even used. can you please cite the verse where is says what you claim?
Luke 14:26 KJV — If any man come to me, and HATE not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
