ANY Christian backing Trump isn’t following Jesus.

And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness.

Except they don’t even attempt to look like good people. Satan would think he’s been doing it all wrong, he should’ve just said “I’m here to rule over you all and destroy the world, vote for me”.

Didn’t he though? I hear he’s man of wealth and taste. He’s been around for a long, long years and has stole many a man’s soul and faith. [“]

If there is an Antichrist living with us the closest person would be trump. It’s scarily close and he is even starting to call himself god.

In my experience, a lot of them don’t need Trump as an excuse not to follow Jesus. I’ve come across plenty of so-called Christians here in the south and lot of them are the most judgmental , racist, and hateful people I’ve ever met.

There were stories a few months ago of “Christian’s” storming out of churches for the sermon being “woke”. They were quoting the Bible.

Didn’t say they weren’t Christian as that’s a self applied label. But you can’t pretend they follow the teachings of Jesus.

Very well. Please tell me an example of something they do that is not a teaching of Jesus.

EDIT: Your downvotes won’t change the continuity errors in the Bible or your teachings.

There are four different Jesuses depending on which Gospel you pick, and if you believe in the Trinity, then you are giving Jesus way too much credit considering he’s the same guy who drowned the entire human race.

For those reasons (among others), it never sits well with me when someone tries to declare that someone is or isn’t a Christian.

How about a petition urging the IRS to disallow the tax-exempt status of religious orgs with leaders who endorse any political candidate?

That’s already the rule, right? They just need to enforce current rules.

The Alliance Defending Freedom video tapes a sermon by a preacher specifically violating the rule and send it to the IRS, trying to bait them into applying the rule because they are confident SCOTUS will declare the rule unconstitutional. The IRS never takes the bait. They’d rather have the appearance of a rule than no rule at all. As it is it is mostly self-enforcing on most congregations.

Go for it.

It will be just as much a waste of time as this petition.

Not even saying it’s true, but worth a read.

If nothing else, all these rural Christian congregations have been deceived by a conman real estate developer and reality tv star from NYC. Trump is the ultimate carpetbagger.

It says only one term, so that’ll become a lot less convincing for christians if he wins this year.

Can the Trump supporting Bishops correlate Trumps established behaviors with their expert knowledge of the bible? I am not an expert, but he doesn’t seem to uphold many Christian values. In fact he seems to be anti Christian in his practices.

He upholds Christian Nationalist values.

He tells them that this is their country that was stolen from them.

That’s all they want to hear, and they desperately want revenge.
