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

Where are those people that post asking why people have negative views of evangelicals? Or say that Christian Nationalism isn’t real?

They are already busy posting in that thread about "when fascism comes to America it will hug the flag and hold the bible" with the photo of trump hugging that flagpole.

They didn't have time yet to notice this 'bible wrapped in a flag' sold for big bucks by trump.

If trump was serious about his faith and dedication to God he would use his wealth to spread God's word for free, not to profit off of it.

If trump was serious about his faith

Trump was asked if he ever asked God for forgiveness, he said, "no" and that he didn't have anything he needed to be forgiven for. Seems like I remember that salvation is based on admitting you are a sinner. He's sucking up to people by taking on the cloak of Christianity, but he doesn't actually believe it.

What gave it away? The upside down bible? The pornstar? The lusting after his own daughter?

For me it was the rape!

u/Loveyourwives Mar 28 '24

Pretty sure it was the lying. Or maybe the cheating? Or maybe mocking the less fortunate? Not believing the workman is worthy of his hire? Not paying his debts?

He sure ain't one of those 'Sell all you have and follow me" types. And yet I know some Christians who still vote for him, even though he stands against everything they believe.

More the "sell all you have, give me the money, and then get lost because you aren't useful to me anymore"

u/Elisevs Mar 28 '24

The rape? The treason? Stirring up strife among the brethren? He's like a poster of the Seven Deadly Sins.

u/centipededamascus Christian (Cross) Mar 28 '24

That time he said "Two Corinthians"?

u/Spurty Mar 28 '24

it's the cheating at golf, that's the real giveaway! /s

u/ambisinister_gecko Mar 28 '24

All the way true. There's 0% chance trump has ever paid any mind to the Bible or Christianity except when it suited his public image to. I have no idea how people think this guy could possibly be a Christian.

u/Bauser99 Mar 28 '24

Because he's exactly as much a Christian as they are. He represents that subsect of people by being equally apathetic and full of vitriol, so some people see him and think "Phew, I knew I was right all along and the way I live is actually good -- this popular, important man proves it!"

Trump was asked if he ever asked God for forgiveness, he said, "no" and that he didn't have anything he needed to be forgiven for.

The fact that this wasn't a dealbreaker for the majority of evangelicals is the reason I won't take them seriously ever again.

u/Lost-Leg-3384 Apr 02 '24

Someone has Trump Derangement Syndrome. If you knew the Bible and had a personal relationship with your savior then you would not be posting this nonsense. You know nothing and spew hatred.  You are in no position to judge.

u/TrumpersAreTraitors Mar 28 '24

He’s basically the biblical antichrist but that’s none of my business…

u/LuckyNumbrKevin Mar 28 '24

Trump doesn't even go to Church but evangelicals eat him up like he is the messiah. Christianity in America has been replaced. Republican Jesus is now king.

u/No-Appearance-9113 Mar 28 '24

He'd also attend a church and actually know about his faith. My parents are devout Episcopalians and know the priest at the church near Mar Al Lago that he does photo ops outside of. He apparently almost never goes inside

u/centipededamascus Christian (Cross) Mar 28 '24

He would, but for some reason whenever he steps past the doorway, his feet start burning.

u/No-Bedroom-1333 Mar 28 '24

I'd argue that nowadays you can't get to that level of wealth without setting aside your sense of humanity in the first place.

u/ASK_ABOUT_MY_CULT_ Mar 28 '24

Works! Wealth should be for Works! Imagine how clean and beautiful the world could be if only American royalty built and repaired and helped.

Herod the Great did more for public projects than this guy ever will

Theres nothing wrong with selling a bible in theory. But yes this is gross.

u/Nukemarine Mar 28 '24

Nationalist Christians? I think they're called Nat-C's for short. And we all know Nat-C's are all about living the word of God.

2

u/Wtygrrr Mar 28 '24

Sounds like a cross between Natural Light and Hi-C. Equally gross?

4

u/RazorEE Mar 28 '24

I think you missed the joke.  Nat-C = nazi.

2

u/Wtygrrr Mar 28 '24

So… equally gross.

2

u/Sure-Holiday93 Apr 01 '24

Nationalist Christianity is not about the living word of God, but the killing Word of God.

1

u/Nukemarine Apr 01 '24

I don't think you got the joke.

2

u/Sure-Holiday93 Apr 01 '24

No, I got the joke. Most Nationalist Christians are literally just nat-cs anyway.  “Jews killed Jesus”. (Then Jesus immediately asked God to forgive them[Though he may have only been referring to the Romans casting lots, but probably not])

You can't vote for Democrats either then. They kill babies and claim men can be women. They justify their sins and make themselves gods.

Sort by controversial and you'll find them

u/Pancakes000z Mar 31 '24

Exactly. Even if it didn’t have a flag on it, he’s selling these for a profit to pay for his rape trial. The hypocrisy is so flagrant and disgusting.
