Donald Trump’s evangelicals have taken Christ out of Christianity.
You can’t worship Jesus and Trump at the same time. They’re opposites, like oil and water.
Trump spreads hate, violence and fear; Jesus does not. One stands on truth, and one spreads lies to deceive his followers. One is a savior, and one a sadist encouraging violence.
One has a book called the Bible, the other has a book called “Donald Trump, Son of Man, the Christ,” written by Helga Muller.
One has Fruits of the Spirit — which are love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. One has the works of the flesh — adultery, fornication, variance, wrath, strife, sedition and jealousy.
In July 2015 Frank Luntz asked Trump if he asked Jesus for forgiveness. Trump said, “I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”
Asking Jesus’ forgiveness is the most crucial part of our Christian faith. Trump has taken communion, which symbolizes Christ’s body and blood at His crucifixion. Christianity is a God-centered life. Christianity isn’t something you put on or take off casually.
President Biden is a Christian and member of the Catholic Church he attends weekly. Catholics are Christians.
The Christian life is a pledge of allegiance to Jesus Christ. Not undying allegiance to Trump.
