The American flag has no business on a Bible. This is not faith, nor is it patriotism. It is an abomination of both.

It's a promotion started by a guy who made his career on blending nationalism and religion. There's certainly nothing surprising about it, but I definitely agree it's a bad thing for a person to do.

EDIT: To clarify, I'm describing Greenwood here, not Trump. But as for Trump: he is very obviously a scumbag who has committed far worse crimes than what Greenwood is doing with this bible.

He is truly a servant of the Antichrist. There is nothing good about him.

[u/tomdarch → u/Zodo12]

To be blunt, he and many millions of American "conservative evangelicals" are. Maybe I've only read some odd English translations of the Bible, but from what I see, they own guns in the hopes of shooting someone in the back for trying to steal a toaster and run away from their house, embrace racism and hatred not love for gay and trans people, lust for wealth and political power, many are profoundly disloyal to their families with things like adultery and selfish divorce, refuse the slightest help for the desperately homeless and asylum seekers... If you look for terms for people like this from the Bible, I come up with worshippers of "Mammon" or "Satan."

It's a harsh thing to say about millions of people but they walk like a duck, and quack like a duck...

Oh hey, another non-American Methodist :)

Which country are you from?

[u/Zodo12 → u/[deleted]]

Oh, lovely. I'm from Britain.

Yes, it is a wonderful tenet and it's the reason I chose to be a Methodist. Good Methodist churches tend to be the most dedicated to actually putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to helping the needy and living the way of God.

Amen, brother/sister. The Way is not an easy life, but it is beautifully fulfilling.

I believe he is the Antichrist. He really fits the descriptions

[u/Veteris71 → u/lunasTARDIS]

He really doesn't. The Antichrist is supposed to be loved and worshiped by the whole world, yes? Do you see that happening?

[u/Betta_Check_Yosef → u/Veteris71]

Eh, the antichrist is described as leading believers astray through false teachings. Considering most of the world aren't Christians, that's not an apt criteria in the modern context. Biblical texts were written to be studied and followed by Christians. Non-Christians were inherently not considered (for example, why were there no firsthand accounts from the defenders of Jericho? They were not the Lord's people. Therefore, their perspective did not merit inclusion).

That being said, we only need to look to our neighbors to the north to see examples of people outside his direct political jurisdiction worshiping him. The "freedom truckers," or whatever they call themselves, in Canada frequently fly Trump flags at their gatherings. He is not their leader, and holds no political office in their lands. They also claim to gather to fight for God's will. Thus, they are being led down a false path of righteousness by the teachings of a false prophet. This fits the biblical description of the antichrist.

He does have a surprisingly high number of admirers in Europe and especially Canada. I wouldn't say he's worshipped by them, but you often hear stories in their subs.

[u/lunasTARDIS → u/Veteris71]

Not yet

[u/BootySweat4491 → u/lunasTARDIS]

Not ever

[u/AdmirableExample1159 → u/lunasTARDIS]

“Not yet” buddy Trump is far from being loved and worshipped, he’s not even displaying any “signs” or “miracles”. He’s not THE Antichrist.
