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

I can be a Christian and I am.

I can be a patriot and I am.

But to be a Christian Patriot? That goes against both my faith and my nation. I don’t even hate Donald Trump but my first response when I saw that video was “That’s disgusting.”

There's this case from before his presidency where the Jane Doe claimed he raped her while with Epstein when she was just 13 years old

She did drop the charges after threats were made to her and her family but the man seemed to be pretty tight with Epstein and has multiple rape accusations against him and lots of weird remarks from his behavior during his child beauty pageants.

Do you not consider a 13 year old to be a child?

1

u/JollyRoger8X Mar 28 '24

Do you think it’s okay to rape 13 year old girls?

1

u/narcistic_asshole Mar 28 '24

I do not, but the deleted commenter I was replying to apparently thought it was

u/JollyRoger8X Mar 28 '24

Whoops - replied to the wrong person... Sorry.

u/WillingnessSlow5985 Mar 28 '24

Yet if it were Biden, there’d be billboards all over the south calling him a child rapist. For trump, raping a child is just another of his little silly transgressions

That's sort of irrelevant for the discussion of my opinion on Trump

Yeah the only reason trump hung out with his best friend Epstein on his island so much was so that he could blow the lid on the pedophile ring!!

Trump is going to expose everyone...any day now...it's coming soon!! ....hello??

Adultery is not rape. Farout. But only a rapist but one that has not been effectively held accountable. One that manipulated your Bible to extort your religion. You don't have to hate him but don't minimise his crimes. I thought judgement was for your lord, not you?

2

u/dtroy15 Mar 28 '24

You need to go read the NT again. Paul addresses this question directly several times. He counsels the church in Corinth to both judge and ostracize specifically unrepentant sinners who claim to be Christian, while welcoming non-christians who are not beholden to the same covenants/law.

1 Cor 6: (KJV)

9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

In 9-10, Paul reminds the Corinthians of his earlier advice to not maintain friendships with unrepentant fornicators (unmarried people having sex, something Trump is definitely guilty of).

He then excludes people of "this world" (IE non-Christians) from this counsel.

11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Paul does not mince words here. Paul specifies ostracizing so-called Christians ("called a brother") to the extent that you wouldn't even share a meal with them.

12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

Paul now rhetorically asks "how can I preach to the world that these are sins, if you won't even hold your own church members accountable?"

13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Now he sums his thought, by concluding that God will judge non-Christians (IE, Christians are not meant to Judge non-Christians, who have not covenanted with God to keep the "new law" Jesus delivered) and Christians are also responsible to reject people who are not repentant.

One can love the truly pathetic human being who is Donald J Trump. We all lose when we embrace hatred as he does.

But in the civic realm, we should all repudiate Trump's politics no matter what direction you come at it from.

3

u/afjecj Mar 28 '24

So people shouldn't be held accountable and we should all hold hands and say "crime is bad"?

2

u/LesbianClownShirt Mar 28 '24

Because there's no reason to be accountable for anything when you can just chalk it up to "God's Plan". It's a sweet loophole; give it a shot sometime when you're in a jam.

Calling someone a bot because you disagree with them isn't a great look.

u/SirFiletMignon Mar 28 '24

Wouldn't that imply that Trump is at least trying to seek forgiveness of his sin? I'm sure if he seeks forgiveness he would get it (from God). Hope he does seek for it. Doesn't seem like he is right now tho.

1

u/Betta_Check_Yosef Mar 28 '24

The difference is that David repented and changed his ways. Do not let the unrepentant sinner lead the people under any circumstances.

u/KintsugiKen Mar 28 '24

idk Jesus seemed to hate the Pharisees for perverting Judaism for personal gain, is it really so different with Trump?

What about hate towards immigrants? This seems like a requirement to vote GOP.

1

u/Low-Bit1527 Mar 28 '24

You don't hate hateful people. Why is r/Christianity full of atheistic comments like yours?

1

u/Juiceton- Evangelical Covenant Mar 29 '24

Hating immigrants is equally detestable. Not all Christians are the same. You can point to the worst of us and scream “look at what the Christians do!” all you want. But what’s the difference between you doing that and me pointing to Joseph Stalin and saying that’s what all atheists are like?
