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”.
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.
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.
This entire comment screams “I have no understanding of what I’m trying to say.” You do realize the Gospels are four different perspectives, right. Get three different people to tell you about anything that was in the news last week and you’ll absolutely hear three different stories.
Except that isn’t what happened. Mark built Jesus out of the letters of Paul and various pagan-jewish works. Matthew copied Mark but really liked the Pentauch. Luke copied Matthew and tried to shore up the apostles. John took all three and some local Messiah stories.
None of these people were eyewitnesses, none of these people even talked to eyewitnesses. A copy of a copy of a copy with no original.
Matthew 5:17 ESV
Jesus said “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
The old testament is still quite relevant. There’s also quite a bit more than the golden rule in the new testament.
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Matthew 5:18
The golden rule is the only thing that really matters.
Yeah that thing that was articulated 5 centuries before Jesus supposedly lived and was known in Aramaic at least a century prior by Rabbi Hillel.

ANY Christian backing Trump isn’t following Jesus.
You’re taking it out of context.
/s
You aren’t following the correct Jesus.
/I wish this was sarcastic.
Supply Side Jesus is on the rise.
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. [“]
Trump may be a man of wealth, but he is definitely not a man of taste.
gestures to his gold plated toilet
gestures to his ketchup smothered well-cooked steak that he eats every single day
gestures to his mail order bride
Nah, all he’d have to say is “I hate ns, fs, and uppity cunts too! 'MURICA!”
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.

How is that not like Jesus?
There were stories a few months ago of “Christian’s” storming out of churches for the sermon being “woke”. They were quoting the Bible.
The top comment on articles like these is always some flavor of No True Scotsman.
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.

Like the whole point of Christianity was to get away from the old testament. The golden rule is the only thing that really matters.
This isn’t true
Matthew 5:17 ESV Jesus said “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

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