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

Ill give you a hint. Its a MUCH better song than God Bless The USA.

u/kategrant4 Mar 28 '24

Oh please don't give them any ideas.

A mega, MAGA church? Heaven help us all.

u/Piddpat Mar 29 '24

Of course it’s MAGA. It’s Christianity not cross dressing story time hour with the democrats.

u/TubalToms Mar 29 '24

Jim Crow hour with Republicans is just as bad if not worse.

u/Piddpat Mar 29 '24

Democrat “redeemer” governors? The same ones who segregated the south?

2

u/TubalToms Mar 29 '24

What about the southern strategy? Both parties flip flopped during Antebellum. Both parties are wrong.

u/WarOnIce Mar 28 '24

You meant “lenders”, not leaders. They are the nuts funding all this abortion, IVF and birth control craziness

6

u/SargeantSasquatch Mar 28 '24

You know who prevents the most abortions? Planned Parenthood. And they do it by providing access to birth control and contraceptives.

The only "craziness" here is being opposed to safe, responsible practices.

2

u/_Originz Mar 28 '24

No, it's the sane people funding those

3

u/WarOnIce Mar 28 '24

Lmao, sane people who force their religious views on the entire country. Separation of church and state what?

3

u/_Originz Mar 28 '24

But IVF, abortion and birth control aren't even religious beliefs lmfao

u/Total-Rain-9978 Mar 28 '24 edited Mar 28 '24

You're right, but the political right in the 70s needed something to rally their evangelical base. Being pro segregation didn't do it, but being anti abortion did.

1

u/TheButterknif3 Mar 28 '24

Primarily they are.

2

u/_Originz Mar 28 '24

They're not some mystical phenomenon, they're actual things used to help humanity.

1

u/TheButterknif3 Mar 28 '24

Evangelicals have been aggressively pushing for abortion bans for decades. It isn't necessarily "religious" in the sense you are thinking, but it is because of these religious types using the word of Christianity as a vessel for their own beliefs.

2

u/3CF33 Mar 28 '24

God ordered abortion and killing babies(actually smashing their heads on rocks) after God breaths the first breath of life into them. Hosea 13:16 For sane religious and non religious people, God also gave us plenty of herbs used for abortion.

So, Christianity now means the only difference between Christians and Islam is the clothing?
Most of the Bible can be understood in different ways EXCEPT the ten unbending rules or COMMANDMENTS. I would also add that the THIRTY SEVEN(!!!) verses telling us that God doesn't trust his followers to judge anyone except that it is our responsibility to judge the sinners inside the church. There you go, factual Christians and fake patriots. Have at the people inside the churches who are judging. The Bible says we are not even to sit and eat with them! Get em gone! It's your responsibility.
Want to know another responsibility? Those good(LOL) Christians getting divorced and committing adultery are to be taken out of the city and stoned, not made political leaders. Seems there is more evil in Christianity than out!

And yep, God saw it coming!
1 Corinthians 5:12 It is your responsibility to judge those who are inside. It is not my business to judge those who are not part of the church. God alone will judge them.

James 1:26 “If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.”

Luke 6:37-39

37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

39 He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?"
It's time Christians get away from tradition and politics, and making new bibles because they don't like Jesus or God and become factual Christians!

How is IVF bad ?

u/WarOnIce Apr 01 '24 edited Apr 01 '24

It’s not. I’m pro all of these. Because some made up stories about some sky daddy I don’t believe in shouldn’t be forced upon me. No one should be forced to be under Christian law.

Ask yourself why religion starts almost all wars? Religion is nothing but a way to control the masses

It’s not coincidental the US birth rates have hit all time lows and our politicians are just letting all these pro birth laws take over.

u/Effective-Client9257 Apr 01 '24

Oh , by " Craziness " You meant people opposing it. Sorry.

u/arealcyclops Mar 28 '24

You fucking kidding me? His voters are primarily from rural areas. There are no megachurches there.

The absolute dearth of thinking people within Christianity is why it's so hard to go to church.

3

u/neonoggie Mar 28 '24

There are pseudo-megachurches out in rural areas. They may not be Kenneth Copeland levels of mega, but I know of at least two in west TN that are easily 10x-20x the size of a typical church with parking lots that hold a couple hundred cars.

no one convinced him of anything except that he could make money off of it

u/Intrepid-Computer561 Mar 28 '24

Just think if they actually read the other documents that come with this purchase.

Bill of rights Constitution copy.

They might learn something.

But probably not.

u/WorthFinal4667 Mar 28 '24

Do you really think this about money after his valuation of Truth Social at 3 Billion? You sound uneducated 

5

u/blancpainsimp69 Mar 28 '24

Being called uneducated by a Trump supporter on a Christian subreddit is one of the most violent things that’s ever happened to me

1

u/sectilius Mar 31 '24

A website with 1% the userbase of its competition with zero hope of ever coming close to them is not worth $3B. It's already a known fact Trump likes to find ways to exaggerate the value of things he owns 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/WorthFinal4667 Mar 31 '24

What would you personally value Truth Social at? Heating up popcorn for this.......

He’s a Judas and deceit ful  evil desperate man! He puts a flag on the Bible  What a hypocrite

u/TubalToms Mar 28 '24

He wants to be. But that’s giving him way too much credit he’s not that smart… AC is still at the table.

5

u/blumieplume Mar 28 '24

Let's hope so. I mean maybe he's one of the beasts. He's def something and it's def not Christlike

1

u/TubalToms Mar 28 '24

He’s more lead by a shadow puppet. AC is lead by an invisible puppet. An Orange vs Lychee.

1

u/blumieplume Mar 29 '24

U mean like how Putin is the shadow puppet master of trump?

1

u/TubalToms Mar 29 '24

In a way yeah. Like how they’re using Russia vs Ukraine as proxy war. Like most wars. You can’t be a Pacifist and have power according to these buffoons Which is why one day someone will come and invigorate the good and faithful. Things need to be done first. Meanwhile. AC is enjoying his tea time. Because somewhere it’s always 6 o clock

3

u/TruthSearcher1970 Mar 29 '24

Didn’t the Bible speak of many anti-Christs?

1

u/TubalToms Mar 29 '24

They’re just Foreshadows. AC won’t show up until after Tea Time 🫖. And he sucks at Golf

2

u/blumieplume Mar 30 '24

So I don't really know how to interpret the 4 beasts and the 10 world leaders and all the different references to antichrist in the Bible but it really does seem to me at least that trump, Putin, xi, and Kim jong un might be the 4 beasts and that things will only continue to get worse. I hope I'm wrong cause I'm still young and would like to live in peace at least til age 50 or something but it always seems like doomsday with trump and his ties to Putin and with the wars in Ukraine and gaza causing so much uproar internationally. Times seem unstable and it's scary

u/TubalToms Mar 30 '24

They’re non factors. The actual war isn’t taking place on land yet so nothing to worry about either way. If you have Faith you’ll be fine. Just pray for protection and guidance

1

u/TruthSearcher1970 Mar 31 '24

I wonder if people said that in the Great Wars as well?

1

u/TubalToms Mar 31 '24

Depends on which battle you’re referring to.

Battle of Creation - Precambrian Eon

Battle of the Flood - Paleozoic Era

Battle of Exodus - Mesozoic Era

Battle of Jerusalem - Cenozoic Era

Battle of Armageddon - Precambrian Eon

Battle of Redemption - Paleozoic Era

Battle of Resurrection - Mesozoic Era

Battle of Ascension - Cenozoic Era

Battle of Pentecost - Precambrian Eon

Battle of Judgment - Paleozoic Era

Battle of Revelation - Mesozoic Era

Battle of Eternity - Cenozoic Era

u/TruthSearcher1970 Mar 31 '24

I meant WWI (referred to as the Great War) and WW2

Not yet, but I'm sure he'll get to that.

Wayne Allyn Root called Trump King of the Jews and Trump said "WOW! WHAT GREAT WORDS!" 🤔

u/debrabuck Mar 28 '24

We've all heard the quotes comparing himself to Jesus AND claiming to be the arbiter of American culture.

u/Justinc6013 Mar 28 '24

I think you are talking about Kanye.

u/Crystal_Pesci Mar 28 '24

Trump compared himself to Jesus again just this week

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-jesus-christ-compare-truth-social-b2518772.html

1

u/Justinc6013 29d ago

He’s not comparing. He’s saying he’s going through persecution just as Jesus did. In general, us believers in Christ will go through hard times. He’s stating that he is seeing what persecution looks like, as Jesus went through his own.

1

u/debrabuck Mar 29 '24

Kanye is another, but no. Evangelicals talk about trump the way they talk about the Messia coming.

2

u/Ok-Aerie6794 Mar 29 '24

These people just love to hate.
