Dan,

"Up until Gay Marriage became legal you supported Democrats."

The timing is correct but I've explained the context numerous times.

Obviously you don't care about that.

You just want to twist things around like you do.

Alex,

"He's been posting stupid ---- for 20 years. I know, I've read it. He's genuine in his MAGA filth."

I know you're not talking about me. Up until Trump I supported democrats.

Jpw,

"And the convenient frequency with which a "Christian's" opinion aligns with God's.
It's the ultimate arrogance."

John 14:6 NKJV
"Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

I see people post on here saying they only like the red letter parts of the Bible.

Fair enough...here's one. Jesus is quoted as saying He is the ONLY pathway to God.

All other Gods are false.

Now THAT'S the "ultimate arrogance" by your standards.

That should provide you with some insight why Christians believe as they do.

Alex,

"it isn't the Christianity that offends. It's the lying."

You've nailed it, but probably not the way you think.

I've said before all Christians are hypocrites. We believe in higher ideals and goals we can't achieve.

Even the Apostle Paul said he knows what is wrong and does it anyway.

Yes...the lying offends us personally. We get tired of being who we are and want to be more pleasing to God but we are mortal men.

Thankfully, we have Jesus to fall back on and be reassured His forgiveness will not falter.

I think you were coming from the angle that the non-Christians are offended by the lying Christians.

But...really we offend ourselves.

Alex,

"Why would you buy a bible from a non Christian, bill?"

I have many Bibles and collect the ones that interest me.

A "Trump Bible" is unique and not something you'll see at stores. Maybe in a yard sale.

Actually, the "Trump Bible" used Lee Greenwood's name and brand for the "God Bless the USA Bible" by Lee Greenwood.

Trump promoted and endorsed it.

Jpw,

"You have no idea how mentally ill you sound, do you?"

I'm well aware how mentally ill I probably sound to you.

My experiences as a Christian didn't start last year. I've been offending people long before you.

I've been angry, wrestling with God, and fighting Him for decades. And He's still forgiven me.

Honestly, I'm more worried about the day I stop wrestling altogether, because indifference would be worse than anger.

Alex,

"You knew he was before I posted the proof. You still know.
Dishonest cult member."

The same thing I said to Zed. Apparently what I'm writing is at a different frequency that's off your radar.

I explain things and you still can't see.

I guess that's what Jesus was talking about.

Matthew 13:13 (NKJV)
"Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand."

I don't have a Messiah Complex....I'm just quoting something He said that seemed to fit this thread.

Alex,

"Trump, confirmed a Presbyterian, now identifies as non-denominational Christian"

Whether or not Trump is a Christian, at least he isn't deliberately mocking God and His followers like many liberals do.

Snoofy,

My point is, whether or not Trump is a Christian doesn't matter if God is using him for a greater good as part of His plan.

Snoofy,

If you look at the Bible as a whole, I believe the takeaway is that God will use anything for His purposes and that God is in control.

While God doesn't approve of evil, He can use your hatred for good within His plan.

Keep in mind God the Father used the hatred of the Jewish religious leaders to see Jesus betrayed, arrested, tortured and killed, all within in God's plan.

Snoofy,

"Say whether Trump is a Christian.
Say it right now."

You just don't understand how it works.

I've never heard him claim to be a Christian but I don't pay attention to everything he says.

But...if he did say he was a Christian, I still wouldn't know for sure if he is. That's not up to me.

There's many people who believe they are, but actually aren't. Again, I wouldn't know for sure who is or isn't.

You're wanting something from me I won't pretend I know the answer, however there are plenty of people who do claim to know the truth.

I know this is disappointing for you but I won't go that route. I can't....sorry you don't understand. It is impossible for me to say for certain.

I don't have such knowledge.

Zed,

"There's something wrong with you, BILL."

I will agree I function at a different frequency.

But sonething wrong with me?

Maybe there's something right with me but its off your radar?

Snoofy,

"So you think Trump is a Christian"

Is that what I said?

Snoofy,

"So you think Trump is a Christian"

Is that what I said?

Zed,

"CORKY is a Christian, BILL."

I prefer not to talk about other posters with someone unless I have to say something about Laura or Snoofy or Clown.

Ok Corky....who is Christ?

If you are a Christian you will openly profess your faith.

Now's your chance.

Corky,

"Behind you!!"

What if He is?

Corky,

If you look at a coin and call it tails...well...you can't act like there's no heads on the other side, which is what you're trying to do.

Where is Christ if Trump is the Anti-Christ?

Corky,

Where is Christ?

jpw,

"Convincing yourself that your politics is a "mission from God" is not only a sign of mental illness"

Try rereading what I wrote.

Did I at any point specify my personal beliefs? People here misread my posts all the time where I don't specify my personal beliefs and they assume I did. I will be clear when I say what I personally believe.

Actually, the whole believing in God routine some would consider a sign of mental illness.

Corky,

If you are taking Bible scripture serious enough to suggest Trump is the anti-Christ, it only stands to reason you accept the rest of the story and are professing to believe Jesus is Christ.

Is that wrong?

Corky,

You've mentioned before you think Trump is the anti-Christ.

I always ask you....so who is Christ?

Where is Christ?

You brush off my question but it still remains. If Trump is the evil response to Christ, where or who is Christ?

Zed,

"One day you're going to have to learn the most fundamental truth of life: that there but for the Grace of God go I."

We're all accountable for ourselves. On Judgement Day I will be judged for my actions.

Have I made you think I'm prideful?

Nixon,

"I'm sure Hitler thought he was a good guy too."

You believe that based on what?

Zed,

What I wrote wasn't intended to be paper on veterans.

I simply pointed out homeless vets are not in the same category as those who have wasted their lives.

There's no reason to attack me.

I think you're just a sour human being and can't help yourself. You can't be civil with people you don't agree with.

Zed,

"Does Trump think he's mortal?"

I would say he does.

However, he's been told by so many Christians that he is blessed and God is using him and protecting him, he may very well believe he's on an ordained mission from God. He may well believe he's been chosen by God for some purpose.

I certainly believe God has chosen people in the past to do His work if they are willing.

I won't get into a debate or reply to the angry responses. I personally do believe God has in the past and will again in the future.

What about now? We certainly need someone at the helm willing to serve. Why should I question who He has chosen? A sinner? Who else is there?

That doesn't make someone Godlike or superior.

It just makes them willing to be a servant to God's will.
