So what phenomena is at work here?
"I just have to remind you..."
Depends on the stone really. Am I without sin? No. Am I without sexual assault and talking about grabbing women by the pussy? Big yes.
So am I right in thinking the mental gymnastics you perform regarding Trump are that you have sinned therefore you won't judge him for sinning? Sorry if I've misunderstood, it's just that you haven't made the slightest attempt in answering my question, which was "how do you square "grab em by the pussy" with the teachings of Christ"
Firstly that comment was 8 years ago, Saul was murdering Christians less than 8 months before he turned to serve Christ. Did Paul always behave perfectly as a Christian? (does any Christian??) - no! Paul said, 'What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!'
And so I did answer the question, as none of us can condemn another, as we too are guilty sinners, so leave the judgement of God to God and let's look at our own hearts to assess if they will pass or fail when He looks at us!
Trump is selling bibles with his own name embossed in large letters at the top of the front cover, saying that God saved him.
Anything you find a little icky about that, truthpaste?
He’s never been a religious person historically. He’s only playing the saved by God card for his own gain. Can’t you see that?
Good question. But I assume he is talking about Donald J Trump and not looking in the mirror.
Truthpaste spent over 13 years on this board telling us that only cultists of his persuasion were 'real' Christians, that organised religion was and is the work of 'the Devil', and that most people who claim to be Christians are dupes in the service of 'Old Nick'. It wasn't just us atheists and agnostics that served the other side (I think he means the Devil - not Sauron?).
But now he is claiming Donald J Trump as one of his own and boasting about the league table of believers in different world religions!
He spends hundreds of hours on here promoting a 'faith based' set of beliefs, but then feels he has to also claim that his beliefs are backed by science - quoting a small number of garbled 'scientists' who share his confusion.
He is riddled with inconsistencies, contradictions, fantasies and (for me the most serious thing) very reactionary and disturbing social and political views that put him to the right of MAGA world.
As usual, a rant with no substance.
You don't wish to examine the credibility of those scientists.
You do want to assume that all those who know Christ personally are uneducated.
You can't nail down even one so called inconsistency!
You don't know what a cultist is or why I am not one.
You still see people who trust the Bible as following their own faith and not the Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible?
Apart from all these, you are right on the money![]()
Yes, I do. I used the wrong choice of words. I was referring to his failed assassination attempts and how God intervened to save him from certain death.
Anyone running for US president knows they're not going to win unless they either believe in God or claim to believe in God. Trump is very much in the latter category.
I hate to break it to you, but Trump is not a born again Christian.
Trump is incredibly good at spotting and exploiting a mark. He likes Christians for their money and their votes, in that order.
His whole life has been acting exactly the opposite to what you may consider are Christian values. It has brought him unimagined success in the final years of his life - why on earth would he change when things couldn't be going much better?
There's a clip of him being interviewed about his 'faith'. They throw him what they consider a softball; what is your favourite verse in the bible and (when he flubs that), are you an Old or New Testament guy? Trump has no idea what to do, and is visibly flustered (an incredible facial expression at 00.20!), not even being aware that the Old and New Testaments are completely different.

So no - I wouldn't claim him as one of your own.
