The media continues to get plenty of mileage out of the Trump Bible.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/28/us/donald-trump-bible-christianity-cec/index.html Some interesting takes from the latest article, which for that one guy's benefit, I played no part in authoring: Jason Cornwall, a pastor from South Carolina, said on X that Trump’s Bible endorsement was a violation of one of the Ten Commandments of the Hebrew Testament that forbids taking God’s name in vain. Historian and author Jemar Tisby says the whole project echoes the values of Christian nationalism — the idea that America was founded as a Christian nation and the government should work to sanction Christianity on a national scale. The tenets of Christian nationalism are historically tied to prejudice, nativism and white supremacy. The FAQ section of the “God Bless America” Bible website clarifies that no proceeds from the sales of the Bible will go towards Trump’s presidential campaign. However, there is no mention of whether any proceeds could be put toward his personal legal troubles. Trump has been criticized before for his use of the Bible in public settings. In 2020, religious leaders from several Christian denominations condemned his display of the Bible in a “photo-op” in front of an Episcopal church near the White House as racial justice protests raged around the country. “You just don’t do that, Mr. President,” televangelist and vocal Trump supporter Pat Robertson said of the incident. “It isn’t cool!” |

Please post ANY video or news link to where Trump even admitted he was wrong on something. Sinning?

Just don't vote Democrat. Hold your nose, smoke a joint, drink a shot, just don't vote Democrat. Get blown out of your mind before dropping the lever so your mental gymnastics are less painful.
Trump sucks, Biden sucks more. One interesting note is I know where Christian relativism and morality sit inside the church of Trump with all it's followers. I know a full 1/3rd of the "right aisle" are statist enemies with plastic spines who will turn on me in a hot second. |

Voting is one of the last activities you can perform prior to having to move to a kinetic solution. The suggestion is you perform it until further notice, regardless of the reams of propaganda floating around telling you all about how it is. Otherwise you've just taken yourself out of the game.

I can tell you with virtually 100% certainty that the President elected in 2024 will be either the D or R nominee. Voting only becomes unimportant if the voter doesn't care about the outcome, and instead votes only based on how it makes him feel about himself. The only laziness here is pretending that isn't true so a person can maintain their aforementioned sense of moral superiority.. |

If more of the country, especially the 40% block of those considered Independents, actually got past that mental barrier and voted for the actual best candidate, we wouldn't be in this binary bullshit. Why have you slaved yourself to a binary option of shit, rather than have hope that maybe, just maybe, the American people really can get so fed up they'll actually shake shit up? I'm waiting on seeing if/whom the Libertarian or Constitution parties put up on slates. One of the Libertarian candidates for Pres is the guy from Georgia who managed to play spoiler in a Senate campaign with a budget of $14k. ETA Chase Oliver, that's the name I couldn't come up with. |

The media continues to greatly enjoy this topic:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/03/28/trump-bible-sale-satire/ The Creation: In the beginning, God created Mar-a-Lago. And then God said, “Let there be Light,” so that people could look at Mar-a-Lago and admire it. And then God said, “No, that Light is too much. Do not pay the lighting guy.” And then God created lots of other places, plants and birds and lots of things like that, and lots of real estate, but God ruined it by filling up with animals. Some call them people. But we don’t, do we? Not everyone is people. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-bibles-stephen-colbert-late-night-b2520235.html He added: “Trump getting into business with God can only mean one thing: God is going to end up bankrupt and serving a three-month prison sentence for lying under oath.” And the best of the latest, in my opinion as someone deciding whether to eat meat today: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/the-time-trump-wished-everyone-a-happy-good-friday.html
Who is happy on Good Friday? Presumably not Jesus. Certainly not my mother, a devout Evangelical Christian. “They’re nailing Jesus to the cross, you asshole!” she told me when I informed her of Trump’s tweet. Of course, the former president is not a person of deep piety. The thrice-wed businessman famously has a transactional relationship with Christianity and with conservative white Evangelicalism in particular. In return for their undying loyalty, he gives them anti-abortion Supreme Court justices and the occasional ham-handed display of religiosity. (It’s “Second Corinthians,” not “Two Corinthians.”) It’s easy to blame Trump for transforming white Evangelical Christianity into a more monstrous version of itself. But white Evangelicals degraded themselves long ago by striking a political alliance with the right wing. Trump is what it looks like to bid for power at any cost. The Bible is a casualty in a much bigger war. |

This is going to be a huge problem for Trump. With the flipping his opinion flipping on Tiktok after meaning the billionare who has a huge stake in Tiktok, while Trump is in desperate need of cash. To this which everybody views as an embarassment except the most Orange pilled.

Whose the guy advocating to the Supreme Court that the President is totally immune? That's the most anti-American position you can take. That is exactly what Putin and Xi are, and what Hitler and Stalin were. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BerettaGuy: King David was sorry for his sin. Please post ANY video or news link to where Trump even admitted he was wrong on something. Sinning? Trump would NEVER admit to that because he probably doesnt believe that he sins and stated that he doesn't ask for God's forgiveness. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BerettaGuy: Originally Posted By 3xpert: And had you lived back them, You would have stoned King David. King David was sorry for his sin. Please post ANY video or news link to where Trump even admitted he was wrong on something. Sinning? Trump would NEVER admit to that because he probably doesnt believe that he sins and stated that he doesn't ask for God's forgiveness. That is written down in God's Word for you to read now, but back then, all of Israel did not know what David did, or he would have been stoned. Only God, who sent his Prophet Nathan to confront David knew what David did. It was the Holy Spirit that convicted David. How do you know Trump never repented of anything. Why does Trump need to tell you? That's between Trump and God. I myself do not know if he truly repented of his sins. Only God knows. I also know that God did not send you to point out Trumps sin. Why don't you tell everyone what sins you repented of! You should repent of being a false prophet. Phil 1:15-17 5 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. I'll be like Paul, and most people should, Whether Trump is doing this for money or sincerely wants everyone to Come to know Jesus Christ. I don't care. The Bible holds the answer to all of man's problems. And that I'll rejoice in. You want to post on this website but not buy a membership, So others have to pay your expenses to keep AR15 running. If you cannot afford it, let me know. I'll buy you a membership. And if you need a Bible I'll help you with that to. On my dime. I'm done in here, Enjoy your Easter. |

But Somebody paid for that Bible to be printed, materials, shipping, taxes etc. If Trump gave the Bible away free, all the Democrats and God haters and those suffering from TDS would scarf them up and toss them in the trash. Just to help bankrupt Trump. |

Bigger_Hammer The woman at the well, John Chap 4. had 5 husbands, but really not married. Adultery. Jesus turned her into an Evangelist and the whole town believed in Jesus. Saul was a religious man, but started killing Christians. Until Jesus appeared to him on the road to Damascus. now called Paul, He became the greatest Christian that ever lived and wrote most of the new Testament. That's two of many I could list. If any of you understood Salvation, past sin does not exclude you from Heaven. If it did then your not a Christian. Your in sin also. And thinking your better then someone else is a false teaching. You guy's need to repent. Desantis to. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SavedByTheBlood: It’s mind boggling how supposed Christians on this site support this clown over DeSantis who is an actual Christian. It’s not mind boggling at all. Whereas Christians used to condemn moral relativism, in recent years many of them have become master practitioners of same. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By gatetraveller: Desantis isn't the nominee. It's either Trump or Biden. We all know that Biden and company are in the process of killing off the country. If they win, they will probably finish the job. Yes it’s the end of the entire earth if Trump daddy doesn’t get elected!  This is the same BS that is spouted when people said Biden would pass an AWB his first week. People said Bill Clinton would be the end if elected. Yet here we still are. The sky is falling!!!! |
